Some Good Advice.

A prominent Southerner, now iv-
ing in New York, but still interested
in the prosperity of our people, writes
to the Columbia State as follows:
II have noticed several of your ref
erences to cotton acreage this year. 1
think that if you could urge upon the
farmers the Importance of short crop
this year it would be the greatest good
any one could do for the South. The
professional bears are simply wild
with delight and are looking for a
grand bear campingn on account OF the
Increased mule and fertilizer sales.
English spinners are over 100000
bales short, but they think the South
will turn loose its spots if large area
is planted and that price will decline.
They are therefore doing their utmost
to break prices and make the South
turn loose its holdings" AS will be
seen by the above the immense trade
in mules and fertilizers is taken by the
cotton sharks as an indication that the
Southern farmers are going wild over
cotton planting again and they are
using tne arguulenI VI large cotCoh
crop as a reason for reducing the price
of cotton. They seem to think that
mules and fertilizers are only used in
the South for making cotton. Already
they have their agents throughout the
cotton belt reporting the prospect OF
an increased cotton acreage, and on
these reports they predict fall in the
price of cotton. We adhere to the
opinion we have always held, that the
Southern farmer cannot afford to raise
cotton except as a surplus crop, and
when he does that he can do so profit
ably even if the price goes down to
five cents. Let your first object be to
make plenty of meat and other home
supplies and then plant all the cotton
you can cultivate and you will be
PROSPEROUS and happy.

Fearful Crime Unavensed.

TAvAREs, FLA, January 29.-To-
day, after trial lasting sixteen days,
Irwin Jenkins, Marion Clinton and
William McRae were acquitted Of
what are known as "the Packwood
murders" The crime with which the
men were charged was committed on
the night of December 10, 1891, and
was most brutal. The victims were
Miss Bruce, young woman, aged 30;
her nephew, Frank Packwood, aged
Z; Mrs. Hatch, aged 40. and her SON,
Bennie Hatch, aged 10. The victims
were butchered in horrible manner
and Miss Bruce and Mrs. Hatch were
ravished. The crime was committed
near New Smyrna, in Volusia County
and the case came here on a change
of venue. Miss Bruce was from New
York and came to Florida to keep
house for her widowed brother-in-law,
F. J. Packwood. On December 10,
1891, Mr.. Packwood left home for
Jacksonville, and not liking to leave
Miss Bruce and his son alone, got Mrs.
Hatch, a neighbor, to remain with
them over night. Mrs. Hatch took
her little boy along, and either on the
night of the 10th or the morning of
the 18th the two women and the little
boys were butchered. For a long
time the murder was a mystery, butst
last suspicion fell on Jenkins. McRae
and Clinton, the first being an Indian
and the two latter prominent young
white men, and they were arrested
and indicted. Last year the men were
tried here and convicted, but they ap-
pealed. and the Supreme Court re-
manded the case for a second trial,
which to-day resulted in the acquittal
of the accused, as stated The evidence
was purely circumstantial, but on the
first trial was considered strong. In
the second trial the State was handi-
capped by the absence of material wit
nesses, and did not make cut a strong
case. The two trials have cost Volusia
County thousands of dollars and
bankrupted the defendants and their
families, and after all the persons who
murdered and ravished Miss Bruce
and Mrs. Hatch and killed two inno-
cent little boys are unpunished.

the resignation be accepted. Miller
suggested that it be done by rising

ulators of the party machines"
These words, uttered with much en-
ergy, provoked the first manifestation
Of Of applause in the he galleries, which The
Senator hardly see,ne:aa - -otice. He
returned to the assertion that he was
the only farmer, pure and simple, in
the Senate, although out of seventy
million people, thirty-fve million were
engaged in ayricultural pursuits. As
a farmer he had broken the barrier
and forced his way into the Senate and
he proposed to give utterance to their
wrongs.
Mr.. Tillman began by saying he
would use plain Anglo-Saxon, the Ian.
guage of the common people, for he
was one of them. He spoke bitterly
of the essay reading INDUCED in by
Senators. He referred to the state
ment of the Senator from Ohio Sher
man) that the silver question had been
thrashed out, saying ''yes, it had been
thrashed by the spectators but not by
the farmers. AS a farmer he would
thrash it again, taking up the whole
subject on a pitchfork, ready, if need
be. to uncover the manure likely to be
found"
Mr.. President" he said, ''it is not
saying too much and I feel warranted
in charging that the arrangement in
our finances and all this cry about
sound money and maintaining the
honor and credit of the United States
are all part and parcel of a damna,

on the Treasury stop2"
Discussing then the tariff bill which
passed in the regular session follow
ing, he said: 1T is true he the Presi-
dent did not sign it, and allowed it to
become a law without approval. But
here again we have a spectacle of
charlatancy and hypocritical assump-
ton of superiority to his party which
has always marked his career. The
tariff law which he repudiated as un-
worthy, involving party perfdy and
party dishonor,' is the sheet anchor to
which he clings."
And again, referring to the Presi-
dent, ''if he was honest at the start
(and 1 am willing to grant that much)
his association with Wall street and
his connection with wealthy men had
debauched his conscience and de-
stroyed all sympathy with the mas
ses."
The Senator then referred to the fall
in the prices of all farm products. The
impoverishment of the farmers had
destroyed, he said, their ability to
purchase on the one hand, while the
decreased price of their products of
export in European markets had left
our debts for imports and interest on
obligations abroad unpaid. Hence
the export of gold to meet these obliga-
tons. In this connection, he said in
part:

agents graciously condesend to come

IL is no easy matter to manage a
string OF kites half n mile or more in
the air. II one man attempted to con-
troll them he would be quickly carried
OF his feet; and in fact such accidents
have frequently happened. For high
ascensions the line is paid out from a
windlass. securely set in the ground
and operated by means of a crank.
Some idea OF the amount OF labor in
volved in such an ascent as the one of
1886 feet referred to above, may be had
from the fact that on that occasion the
process OF releasing the kites began at
1880 a m. and the greatest altitude was
not reached until 3 p. m. 1t was 10
O'Clock at night before the last OF the
kites reached the ground. Something
over 5000 feet OF Irvine was paid out in
this trip

pounded.

There was largely attended and cnthu-
siastic republican rally held at Rusers
park last night The large hall at the park
was well filled long before the speakers OF
the evening arrived, and 1t was noticeable
that nearly every one wore yellow ribbon
on the lapel OF his coat. At the conclu-
sion OF the serenade given by the Con-
tinental Drum corps the standing room
only" sign should have been displayed at
the door, 1t was a thoroughly good-natured
crowd and chcered vociferously at tho
slightest mention OF Major McKinlcy's
name. Chairman II. r. McCoid of the
Douglas Precinct Mckinley y-Hobart club
called for order shortly before . o'clock and
then Introduced the main speaker, X. w.
Richardson.
MIR. Richardson said he had taken a long
drive over an exceedingly rough road for
the pleasure Of killing any free silver fall
lacies which might possibly be aloat in
that vicinity. That rational people in the
present age should see INT to chase a rain
bow was something almost beyond the COM
prehensioh of the speaker OF one thing
he was positive, and this was that the
honor of the United States should be pro-
tected by the maintenance of sound cur
rency. whicn should in the years to come
provo unassailable by day dreamers
The calamity howlers would have us
believe" said Mr.. Richardson, that all
the present hard times are due to the gold
standard. II these same people would
pause to consider that the greatest period
of prosperity ever experienced in any couh-
try was experienced in the United States
between the years 1873 and 1891, they would
admit the force Of fact and not content
themselves with the statements OF few
interested mine owners and political out
casts who are engineering the present cam
paign.
'Sober-minded people do not look for a
charm or a rabbits foot with which to ac-
cumulate wealth. neither do they wish to
chase after the theories of a man who has
only studied finance for six years. II is
for this reason then that sound money
will prevail and the advice of older and
wiser men, who have studied the subject
for years. will be acted upon. Even were
tho streets of Omaha and the roads of
this precinct flooded with silver as we
are told by the Bryanites would follow

cured, its purchasing power would be found
to be reduced one-half. and the so-callcd
panacea of the present hard times would
be found a boomerang which would re-
bound Oh the back of the laborer.
IL said the speaker in conclusion. tho
workingman goes to the polls on November
3 next and deliberately votes for the abol-
ishment of sound money, he Is the man
who will have to stand the difference. for
there will be no increase in wages, except
after a long struggle. while he has at the
same time a money which will only pur-
chase half as much as formerly"
