AN INFAMOUS PLOT.

The gold men OF Wall street are getting
desperate. They are ready To resort to
any practices, no matter how question
able, to turn the silver tide that for two
months or more has been running toward
the Chicago convention. The so-called
reform clubs of Boston and New York,
really cabals of Wall Street intrguers
of no political convictions whatever, have
been busily engaged in sending out gold
literature to the delegates elected and
instructed for free silver. Now they pro-
pose to go further. They will write to
each delegate personally, making Il
strong appeal. They will undertake by
means of all local Influences they can com
mand in the various communities in
which the delegates live to control them.
Failing i'll this, they will 20 to Chicago
with barrels of money to let loose on
whomsoever they can corrupt. Some of
the constituencies knaves, whose moral
and mental training are such that they
cannot rise above the conviction that
money is all powerful are making the
bold assertion that gold will control the
convention.
We feel very little alarm over this con

helped to drive Napoleon's legions from
her soil, and. despite the protests of Ger
many, has granted the British govern
ment permission to land troops mt Beira
on the east coast of South Africa to
march into Matabeeland and quell the up
rising there. This obviates IL tedious

a TEAPOT TEMPEST.

The excitement produced in this coun-
try and Spain by the dispatches from
Havana to New York and Washington
papers to- the effect that Consul General
Lee had sent a report to Washington on
the military and political situation, has
subsidized with the denial of the General
that any such document had been written
or forwarded. The publication however.
of what are claimed as extracts of pri
waite letter from the Consul General to IL
relative in Washington has added another
complication which threatens, if the al
legged letter was really written by General
Lee, to seriously mar his usefulness in
any diplomatic capacity on the island.
In this alleged letter the Spanish com
manders are scored for their inhumanity,
and entire sympathy with the Cuban
cause Is expressed by General Lee The
Government at Washington does not
believe the Consul General has been so
indiscreet as to write the alleged letter,
and Captain Dan Lee, Il brother of the
General, ridicules the statement that such
a letter has been written 1t is hoped for
the sake of General Lees reputation that
it will be found he never wrote the letter.

Advice to Cotton Planters.

At their recent meeting in Memphis,
the cotton growers adopted the follow
ing resolutions:
Reso1rd, That we call the attention
OF southern cotton growers to the fact
that they are masters of the situation.
The crop Of 1898 being less than 7,OOO.-
600 bales renders it entirely feasible by
a further and reasonable reduction of
acreage during the present year to ma
kferially advance the value of cotton
|pnd thus issue a safe and substantial
creased prosperity to theIsauth, not
only as the immediate result of such
profit, but by enhancing the value of
our lands and turning hitherto the
tide of immigration SO much needed
for the development of the natural
of this great section.
We earnestly urge all producers
of cotton to take advantage of this
golden opportunity and to continue
the wise policy adopted during the
past season of making the south self
supporting by first producing an
abundant supply of corn, hay. meat
and other like commodities for home
consumption. decreasing the cotton
acreage still further, thus guarding
against the dangers of over-production
and leaving the cotton as a surplus
crop. We ask thorough cooperation
Of all farmers, planters, merchants,
newspapers, and of all the business
and other organizations interested in
the development and welfare of the
south in giving wide publicity to these
resolutions, and aiding us to secure
general and hearty compliance with
Their important suggestions. We in.
vite the attention of the planters and
farmers of the south to the great inn
portance of adopting a method of hold.
ing cotton until such time as it can be
placed on the markets of the world to
the greatest advantage.

Wood ashes are too valuable a fer.
tilizer to be wasted. For the orchard
and garden they are especially valua-
BILE. Scatter on the surface, and the
rains will do the rest.
Many farmers say they car not at.
ford to build comfortable quarters for
their stock-it costs sc much. There
never was a greater mistake. It costs
lore to keep stock without such quar-.
ter.
If the hired man smokes about the
barn, don't kill him on the spot, but
pay him off and let that be the last of
it. Also be sure that you do not go
about the barn yourself with a pipe in
your mouth.
Credit has wrecked more farmers
than bad farming. Who ever heard of
a farmer, who made and adhered to the
rule to pay cash, and require cash, who
did not prosper. This is simply be-
cause he gets nearly twice as much for
his money as the cridit buyer.
Farmers who, when delayed by ex-
cessive rains, start their plows too
soon, to make up for lost time, lose
more time than they gain. 1t never
pays to plow land too wet. 1t is better
a little too dry than to battle with
polished clods during the cropping
season.
If farmers are in earnest about in
creasing the acreage of cotton this
year, and actually carry out their
plans, it will give the south a setback
that will require several years to over
come. The low price of corr of last
years crop is the incentive. and in
many cases it was a real hardship.
The average farmer considers the

of capital invested and the amount of

other class of stock.
