THE CHAMPION COTTON CROP.
Twenty-one Bales of Cotton on Twelve
Acres of Land.

Acres of Land.
To the Editor Of The News and Cou-
rier: AS many inquiries have been
made to me concerning my crop Of
cotton made last year, and as am al
ways glad that others may profit by
nv success or failure, [ have decided
to put statement of the same in the
columns of your valuable paper for
the benefit of all who are interested.
The twelve acres of land from which
I gathered the twenty-one bales of cot
ton, averaging four hundred and fifty
one pounds, last year, is part of a
tract of land formerly consisting OF
thirty-two acres. When l commenced
farming on it several years ago sup
pose it would grow not more than six
hundred pounds ofseed cotton per acre.
I divided it into tracts of sixteen acres
each, and at once I commenced a ro-
tat1on Of crops, viz, first cotton, fol-
lowed by oats, then peas, then cotton
again, always and only manuring the
cotton crop with a compost consisting
of stable manure, cotton seed, acid and
kainit, until l had worked it up to
producing very easily with ordinary
seasons a bale of cotton per acre. Of
this land I only had the twelve acres
cultivated in cotton.
I commenced in the month of Feb
ruary by ploughing out the stalks of
the year before with a one-horse
straight shovel plough, going twice in
each row, forward and back again;
into this furrow I put my stable ma
nure, three two-horse loads per acre,
no other fertilizer being used, except
one acre on which used sack of sol
uble guano, the stable manure supply
being exhausted. l used manure
from my own stable as far as it would
90, then bought from livery stables. |
listed upon this as soon as possible. It
was about the 18th of March. [ fin
ished the entire preparation of the
land about the middle of April and
commenced planting about the goth of
the month. Seed used was what | had
been improving for several years, now
known as "White's improved"
The rows averaged three and half
feet, the cotton being more or less of
the cluster variety; wider rows was
not necessary. Early maturity and
fruiting from top 10 bottom is char
acteristic feature of the seed used.
I had a pretty fair stand on all of it
except one acre which had some skips.
We had very little rain from the time
of planting until the 1st of July, but
enough for the cotton to come up and
grow slowly, consequently had very
little trouble with grass. Only one
hoeing was necessary, except chopping
out punches of grass after laying by
the crop with the plough. The rains
began in earnest about the 1st of July
and were seasonable until in Septem-
Der. Commenced picking on the 1st
of September and finished on the 18th
of December. In ploughing the crop
I used a side harrow first, the other
ploughings with straight shovel with
a bow, two burrows to the row, plough
mo ont the row at the last ploughing.

BACK FROM HIL0.
Hon. W. C. Wilder Viewed the Beau
I. ties of Hawaii for a Month.

Hon. w. G. Wilder and wife were
among the passengers that returned
by the steamer Claudine. MIR. Wild
er has been away just a month, and
knows more about the big island
than ever before. He attended a
meeting of citizens at Hilo, when the
news of cholera reached that place,
and heard some plausible arguments
why steamers should not land; and
also some unique expressions about
the cholera situation in Honolulu.
One of the residents advocated form
ing provisional government with
out delay. According to him that
was the only solution of the trouble
There was some talk about building
a wall around the Rainy City so as
to keep strsgglers from other places
out. The Hilo people apparent
fy-have all they want to eat and
drink, and il they should by any
chance run short, can get supply
from the Coast; for this reason they
do not incline to accept anything
from Honolulu.
MIR. Wilder thinks the people will
soon come to their seDses and accept
the good things from here.
The real trouble up there IS that
the people are divided for supre-
macy, and have been for some time.
The plantation element is srrsyed
against the city residents, and there
you are. The japanese employed on
the Hilo Sugar Company plantation
recently quit work for two days be-
cause there was no rice to feed them
on. As soon as it was known in Hilo
that the steamer Hawaii was out
searching for rice and had secured
supply on Kauai, the spirits of the
people rose to high point and they
proceeded to act according to what
they thought was best for the people.

so to express our heartfelt thanks for
the great consideration shown to the
travelling public by your company in
allowing your ships to be used for
quarantine purposes, thus giving US
an opportunity to reach our homes.
We desire to assure you OF our high
appreciation of the attention and
courtesy shown to us by your agent,
Mr.. Falk, and the captain and officers
in whose care we have been. Their
labors for our comfort have been great.
Nothing we could have wished or ex-
pected from them has been LETT undone,
while much comfort and luxury that
we did not expect TO find during our
stay in quarantine it has been our lot
to enjoy. While many of our number
have suffered much from seasickness,
not one word of complaint has been
heard about any of the appointments
of the ship, of the fare, or of any of
the employees OF the company on
board.
We hope that soon in better and
happier times your company will be
repaid for the great expense you have
incurred for this memorable trip.

Fourteenth Day.

The fight on the executive section of
the constitution was again taken up on
the suspension clause.
Mr.. Talbert, of Edgefeld, took up
the matter and argued that there was
too much legislation attempted. The
delegates were here to declare princi-
pies, and he saw no use to discuss
either majority or minority reports as
to 1.-THE removal Of officers. All that
ought to be done was to let the Legis-
lature attend to this matter. He
wanted all extraneous matter thrown
out, and he moved to indefinitely post
pone the entire matter.
Mr.. Sheppard, of Edgefield, said
that after rejecting on the matter all
night he wanted to urge that the sec
tion should not be adopted. 1t was

Fifteenth Day.

The convention was absorbed in the
consideration OF municipal debts and
taxation, and the exemption of manu-
featuring interests for five years. The
section causing the greatest debate is
as follows: "That cities and towns
may exempt from taxation, except for
school purposes, for five successive
years, manufactures established with
in their limits, after the adoption of
this constitution, whose paid up capi-
tai Is not less than 100000"

why should any such exception be

THE FORTHCOMING MESSAGE.


What Governor Budd Will Have to Say
to the People.
A gentleman closely connected with
Governor Budd arrived in town yester-
day and expressed himself freely about
the forthcoming message.
"Of course it would not do for me to
tell what has been given me in con-
fidence," said the gentleman. II may
say, however, that Governor Budd vii.
treat in his message on several impor-
tant issues. He will strictly adhere in
his Recommendations to the principles
Of the platform on which he was elected
and to the utterances he has made dur
ing the campaign.
"For instance, he will deal with the
railroad question in q very elaborate
manner and it will not be particularly
pleasant literature for Mr.. Huntington.
He will advocate to abolish number OF
existing commissions. that are simply
sinieures for thoes who are favored with
positions under them. He will recon-
mend that course on the ground that
they are mostly useless expenditure
and generally created in the interest OF
those who are benefited by them.
He will also take up the Legislation
in relation to counties. We have too
much classification of counties. which
makes legislation somewhat cumber-
some and ambiguous. He is OF the
opinion that laws have been passed in
the interest OF one county, although os-
tensibly for many. which ia in direct
violation of the constitution"
