PRESIDENT H. LANE THINKS THAT WILL COVER THE
 COTTON ACREAGE.
He 1nveighs Against the Practice of Misleading Other States as to the Volume of
 Crop.

Hon. Hector D. Lane, of Athens, Ala, Commissioner of Agriculture of Alabama, and president of the Amer ican Cotton Growers Association, evil has grown to enormous propor- tiOns among cotton speculators of misleading planters in other States about the conditions of crops from time to time. For instance, the re- port is circulated far ahead of the season that the Texas crop will be enormous, which discourages and gives a false idea to the planters of the other States. This is an evil which President Lane is laboring to check.
 There will be an increase of 10 per cent. in the acreage of cotton this year oyer the past season." said President Lane, 'at least, that is my calculation from recent estimate. 1 think the crop of lS95-6 will reach 6 800, 900 bales. An estimate of 6, ,750,- 900 bales has already been made. but l think that is too much, since there was great deal of cotton held over from the two preceding seasons. In future I think that the recE less sell ing of cotton, unloading it at once, will be discontinued, Now, last year af f ho nf In Il vised the farmers to hold their cotton for s cents, and those who followed my advice realized the value of it.
 ''I really believe the commissioner of agriculture of Tennessee, who has advised his constituency to discon- tinue the planting of cotton and go in for diversified crops, is right about it. There is no doubt of the fact that the opening of such vast virgin areas of land in Texas and the cheap labor of the Mexicans, Indians and foreign CTS so easily obtainable places Texas farmers far in advantage of those of Tennessee and Alabama. and it is better for our planters to discontin- ue cotton, because they cannot com pete with the Texas planters.
 "Cotton values have been run down recently by the shutting down and discontinuance of many Northern mills. In making coarse cotton fabrics the mills of the North cannot compete with the Southern mills, and that is the main reason they are shutting down, despite any other pretexts."

THE WILMINGTON KILLING

Manuel Lopez Now In the County jail
Charged With Murder
Manuel Lopez, the murderer of Jesus
Alvarado at Wilmington Sunday morning,
Is in the county Jail. He was brought up
by his captor, Constable Tom Mathews,
who found him in hiding in the afternoon
of the same day. Coroner Campbell held
an inquest on the body of Alvarado yester-
day afternoon. The testimony went to
show that the killing was done in self de-
fense. A verdict in accordance with the

i'll carouse. Lopez with several COM
panions was out serenading, and had also
imbibed quantity of wine. Shortly after
midnight they entered a saloon kept by
one Guerro and had a round of drinks.
Lopez claims that Guerro had grudge
against him and threatened to put him out.
This precipitated row, in which Alvara-
do sided with the saloon keeper. Finally
Lopez went into the street a nd was followed
by Alvarado, who attacked him with
club, saying he would kill him. Lopez
grasped the uplifted arm with his left
hand, when his assailant made o motion to
draw weapon from his pocket. Lopez
caught the arm with his right hand and
pressed it to Alvarado's side, so as to pre-
vent the latter using the knife which he
thought was to have been drawn.
Friends jumped in at this juncture and
Alvarado cried out that he had been cut.
The sharp pointed blades of pair of
sheep.shears had penetrated his abdomen,
and as they are made with a spring which
holds them open when not fastened, they
spread in the wound and made frightful
cash. Lopez claims that he had no weapon
and did not cut Alvarado; that the latter's
wound must have been inflicted when Al
varado had the shears in his hand and
Lopez pressed it to his side to prevent the
knife being used on him. Alvarado ling.

No previous ill will had existed between
the men. and the tragedy must be ascribed
solely to the vile sour wine which all hands
had been drinking. Lopez ia about 40
years of age and not ill-favored for Mex
lean. He claims to have numerous wit
nesses who will prove that he acted solely
in self-defense.
