CLOSING APPEAL.
The Address Committees Concise
 and Common Sense Report,

The committee appointed to prepare an address tO the cotton growers of America met at the Peabody last night and prepared the following:
 To the Cotton Growers of America: The Cotton Growers Protective Asso- citation of America, in convention as sembled at Memphis. Tenn, on this the 2lst day of January. 1896, again come to you with an urgent appeal for co-opera- tive action in planting the crop for 1896. It IS a matter of extreme c0ngratulation that the appeal made to you last year was so generally responded to and that the crop of 1895, made upon the diminished | acreage, has had the effect of greatly in- creasing the price and bringing prosprri- ty to the country. The crop of 1895. though estimated to be 3,40O 900 bales short of the crop of 1894. was III the mar ketS Of the world worth more by nearly $50 .000 900. In the face of this result to 1 abandon the idea of diminished acre age would be to sound the retreat in the face ot victory. It is the concensus of opinion among the best thinkers that if by any means tine cotton crop of America could be held within the limits of 1000 ,OOO bales per annum for ten years, the people 1 richest and most prosperous agricultural people in the world. How can this be brought about? The answer is with you. We appeal to your self-interest and to your patriotism 10 do all in your power to keep down the production of the staple. Do not abandon the ground yOu hove won Fight on upon the lines laid down. make the cotton States elf.suuporting Sp in al
 your hogs to run on, diversity yonr crops, and when done all this the area de. voted to cotton will yield more profitable returns than if you sought 10 increase th,, number of your bales
 It Is felt by the most thOugbtful ma,, that we are entering upon a year of great uncertainties. ana that even a small cot. ton crop may fail to give adequate returns TOT us production. The mutterings of a storm are disturbing the country and mn. settling all business calculations. The prudent man will trim his sails io meet if "'th .he commerce ot the country in- terrupted by war-and war niay come cot'o'' would De unstable except at nomi- nal prices. Every consideration. then of p"'fio'ls'h' of self-interest and of pru- dence dictates that you adhere strictly in the rule or diminished acreage. Earnest men are earnestly working to lead you and guide you into prosperity. Do not let them labor in vain, but cheerfully and hopefully respond to their appeal. HECTOR D LANE. Ala.

 THAT the meeting of the cotton growers. in Memphis. Tuesday, should result in large benefit to the people of this section. there is no controversy Much, and in fact all, however. de- bends upon concert of acton among the cotton planters throughout the length and breadth of the cotton belt. It Is nowhere advised that a planter abandon cotton. but on the contrary. he is urged to raise as much as he con- veniently can. at the same time being sure to raise sufficient of all kinds of supplies, such as meat, hay, corU, wheat, etc, etc, making cotton strict y a surplus money crop. Long strides in this direction have been made during the last few years. and the con- sequence is that our farmers are in a better condition to-day than ever be fore within ten years. It will be a waste of valuable experience to put in the background the lessons already iCdi iVu. WulCll nave proven Ol SD mucH value to the cotton producers, and returnto the old time policy of all cot ton and no supplies. The past year has proven beyond doubt that a crop of 7,000,000 bales or less will bring l more money in the markets than a crop of 10000, ,000 bales or more, and at the same time save to the farmers mil lions Of dollars, by reason of decreased 1 acreage and a chance thus given them, to raise other thlngs-diyersify their crops and produce their own "hog and hominy." TIE TIMES believes that all sensible men see tine disadvantages and dangers of increased cotton 1 acreage. yet it is feared the upward prices of this season will lead many to overlook the cause and return to the old ruts Let none of our planters make such d mistake. IL would be un- fortunate. indeed. if the increased price of cotton caused large increase in the cotton acreage. thus certainly sending the price down to less than cost of production as in 1894.

TIE TiMES believes that all Demo crats in the county, and there are many, who have declared they will never go into another primary election. are wiling to try the experiment of a leg,tllzrd primary, and would recon. slider such determination in the in- terest of democracy and fair selection Of candidates. So far as we can now Judge thls seems to be the only means "f unllihg the party in this county. Primaries are conceded to be .he most satisfactory plan of choosing candi- dates. but this plan, like all others heretofore practiced. has been brought into disrepute by selfish office seekers and their friends. and the party or. ganiZation. which ten years ago was the pride of every Democrat, is today shattered and demolished. 4 primary election, held under the regular election laws, which provide severe penalties for fraud, ought to be the means of pureing our political selections from even the semblance of untairness. Let the policy be free ballot and a talr count, and our motto HONESTY u IS only upon sneh foundations that the grand old organization can be re baiiaed and nourislIed, in the end. achieving honorable victory aud bril- liant success.

SHALL PO.E REMEDIES.

| We take the following from ex- | changes. and publish them for what | they are worth. We know nothing uf | their value. and those who expect to use them. should consult their physi- elan:
 Il am willing to risk my reputation l as public man." wrote Edward Hinr to the Liverpool Mercury. If the worst case of smallpox cannot be cured in three days simply by the use of cream of tartar. One ounce of cream of tartar dissolved in d pint of water, drank at intervals when cold, is q certain, never failing remedy. It has cured thousands. never leaving a mark. never causes blindness, and avoids tedious lingering"
 The following small pox remedy, was given to the public by d correspondent of the Stockton, Col. Herald, who says:
 Il herewith append recipe which has been used to my knowledge in hundreds of cases It will prevent or cure smallpox, though the pittings are filling. When Junnts discovered COW poX in England, the world of science hurled an avalanche of favors on his head. but when the most scientific school of medicine in the world-lhat of Paris-published this remedy as a panacea for smallpox, 1t passed un- needed. 1t is as unfailinV as fate and conquers in every instance. It is harm less when taken by we'll person. It will also cure scarlet fever. Here is the recipe as l have used it to cure scarlet fever: here it is as 1 have used it to cure small pox. When learned physicians said the patient must die. it cured Sulphate of zinc, one grain; fox glove. .(digitalis), one grain;half tea- spoonful of sugar: mix with two table SpoOnfuls of water. When thoroughly mixed, add four ounces of water. Take a spoonful every hour. Either dis ease will disappear in twelve hours. For child. smaller oose, according to age. It counties would compel their phy- sicians to use this, there would be no need of pest houses. If you value ad- vice and experience, use this, for tEe terrible disease"
 The present may prove a good time to ascertain the value of the above.

IN figuring out the line of division
 between the gold and silver standards
 as the states are represented in the Senate, the Philadelphia Times fin Is that it is made by the Potomac, the Ohio and the Missouri :riyers. All of New England and tine Middle States. including Deleware and Maryland, are for sound money except that Pennsyl- vania is divided. The West Virginia Senators also are in this list. but every other state south of the Ohio is for silver, only Kentucky, Georgia Louisiana and Texas being divided. cne Senator on each side. Going west we find Ohio. Illinois, Michigan, Wis consin, Iowa and Minnesota for sound money. Indiana alone being repre- sented by two silver Senators, but from
 Minnesota on to the Pacific there is not a sound money Senator except one from Nebraska. This makes seven- teen states supporting the gold stand
 ard in the Senate, twenty-one for sil- yer-or twenty-two if we include Utah and six divided. In other words there are thirty. nine sound money Senators. Delaware having one vaean- cy, and forty-eight for free silver
 The former comprise twenty-four Re
 publicans and fifteen Democrats, and the latter eighteen Republicans, twen- tythree Democrats and seven Popu- lists. The new Western states admit ted to increase the Republican power have given the silver men easy control of the Senate. Arkansas Gazette.

Butter Brings in a Nice Little sum.

In recent years butter has been
one Of the extras produced on the
farm in Mecklenburg county. Many
of the farmers went into butter
making bindly and glutted the mar
ket with On in error quality of but
ter. But now that day is passed.
The butter that brings good price
on the market from year to year 8
the pretty yellow butter that is at~
tended to by the mistresses of some
ct Mecklenburg's fine farms. By
chance the DEMOCRAT came across
Mr.. William Alexander, of Croft,
with some beautiful butter a few
days ago. From Mr.. Alexander the
DEMOCRAT learned some facts cf
general interest. Mr.. Alexan-
der sells about 100 pounds per
month at 20 cents. He has his but
ter engAged and delivers it once a
week the year round. From four
Jersey cows he gets this amount and
also supplies a family OF eight with
plenty Of butter and milk, at homo.
10 three families in town Mr.. AL
exander furnishes $50 worth of but
ter each, making $3.50 for the three
families. That is no small matter
these "hard times"
This is one of many like cases In
this county. Mrs. Alexander keeps
the books and can tell all about
these small affairs on the farm. That
is good example.

Fine Turnips on the Market.

Among the various products of

Wagon loads OF them are to be seen
on the streets every day. Mr.. S. b.
Hutchins, of Saunders, Paw Creek
township, had fine lot on the mar
ket last Tuesday by the rising Of
the sun, almost. He has in turnips
about three-four;h hs ofan acre, which
will turn him out not less than 100
bushels of turnips. Turnips are SELL
ing on the streets from wagons at
from 80 to 40 cents per bushel. Mr.
Hutchin's turnips will bring him up
ward of $40. Even at the low price
of 30 cents per bushel, the turnip is
no bad crop. 1t doe. not take much
work. Sow seed and manure well
and you are certain of good crop
of turnips.
