Tempting Many Farmers to Plant

Intended.
Charleston, 5. c.. April 2-The News
and Courier will print tomorrow reports
from nearly an the counties in south Caro-
lima giving an estimate Of the acreage de-
voted to cotton cultivation in the state
this year. 1t is generally stated that there
Will be reduction in the acreage de-
voted to cotton. The estimates vary wide
". In some counties it will probably
amount TO 50 per cent. in others the re-
duction will not exceed 10 per cent: 25
per cent would probably be a fair esti-
mate for the state at large.
But whatever the reduction in the acre
age, it is certain that there viii be a
large decrease in production. The reports
from all the counties agree that there viii
be large reduction in the use of com
mercial fertilizers. In Aiken county for
example, it is reported that there will be
reduction OF 25 per cent. in acreage and
% per cent in the use of fertilizers: N
Anderson county 16 per cent less cotton
will be planted and 20 per cent. less fer
tilizers will be used: in Newberry county,
there will be 20 per cent less cotton planted
snd 10 per cent less fertilizers used In
kershaw county it is reported that there
Will be slight increase in the cotton
acreage and a greatly decreased produc-
ton of cotton because of the falling OF
in the use of fertilizers.
commenting on the reports of its cor
respondents, the News and Courier will
say: THE recent rise in the price of
cotton is having the expected effect on
the many good resolutions made by the
farmers two or three months ago that
they would greatly reduce the acreage
of the new crop. our Greenville CORE
spondent says that sixty days ago it
would have been safe to say that there
would be a reduction Of 50 per cent in the
cotton acreage in the county but cotton
has advanced in price, and the old song
is being sung that cotton is the only thing
that will pay debts. The result is that in
stead of reducing the cotton acreage 50
per cent, the reduction will not amount
to more than 10 or IS per cent. in Green
vile county, and II the spectators would
raise the prices few more points and
keep the market active with an increas-
ing demand for spot cotton until the
planting season is well over, we should
not be surprised IL the acreage will be
larger than that of last year"

coLvIN,s FIGHT ON THE BONDS.
The Case Pretty Sure TO he brought
Before the Courts AgnIn.

Jacksonville. Fla, April 2--The city Of
Jacksonville has undoubtedly won a vic
tory in the matter Of the decision reached
yesterday by the United States supreme
court in the Colvin anti-bondng suit
for, by the terms Of the cfty's contract
with w N. Coler & Co. of New York,
that firm must advance the cash, the re-
naming $4,000. on the 81 100000 in bonds
now held by II "as soon as favorable
decision is reached by the United States
court" But as matter of fact the mer-
it's of the case have not been passed upon.
There are rumors that new suits will be
instituted at once by the opponents of the
present city government. If so. these may
prevent the brokers from selling the
bonds. but they win be compelled to make
the advance upon them
When asked this morning II new suits
would be instituted Col. Horatio Bsbee
attorney for Col Colvin said: 'I have
not had time yet to consult with my
client"
Colonel, there is some talk, perhaps
silly, that you have no further chance for
renewing them
That is too absurd to think about
The decision was merely on techni-
cality, and there are plenty of grounds
yet to fight dpon."
There is a report that you neglected
to comply with the rule of the United
States supreme court in filing the certih-
cato of jurisdiction from the lower
court?"
1T was not my fault at ALL 1 asked
Judge Locke of the circuit court OF the
Southern district Of Florida, from whose
judgment I appealed. for the certificate,
and he said 1t was not at all necessary"
SO it would seem as II the merits of the
case have not been even considered by
the supreme court at all. Col. Bisbee is
exceedingly busy just at this time with
cases IN the United States court, now in
session in this city, and Col. Colvin Is
absent from the city.

Health Officer Drummer, to whom the

their manner of speaking and acting. A
person who is deaf or partially deaf will
