Cotton Crop Of 1896.

j Every effort is being made by specu
lators to create the idea that $4,000,
900 bale crop will be made this season
in order to depress present prices
which if left to the legitimate law o
supply and demand would be 10 cents
This idea is also boosted by the press
agricultural and Notwithstanding
about the influx OF horses and mules
and the purchase of fertilizers and an
increased acreage. Now there is one
positive fact that goes to destroy all
this finely built theory and that is
that there is only just so much labor
engaged in cotton production every
year in the cotton belt. and it Is not
augmented by immigration. Its only
accretion is from natural increase
which IL offset by the death rate. 1t
is only by an abandonment ofthe pres
ent practically demonstrated judicious
policy of home supplies that the acre
age can be increased, which is highly
improbable. The production can only
be increased by generally propitious
season or intense fertilizing, which are
also of doubtful potency. Now where
Is the large crop TO come from? Labor
is the chief factor and If il is not ma
terially increased, which is impossib BILE,
the big crop theory must fall through.
Much labor will rent land this year
for the first time and will not as rule

much land formerly worked by such la
Dor must lie idle or be supplied from
other land left idle-there will be only
a shifting of labor from one place to
another, with no increase Of labor or
acreage. Lands are becoming poorer
every year under our present system of
farming, and labor like a Mustang
when they become fat becomes hard to
control. The farmers are not fools,
they have learned some bitter lessons
in the past and we think the majority
of them will never abandon the plan of
raising abundant home supplies which
will always keep down the excessive
acreage. This is the line to operate on
to prevent increased production of cot
ton. Din the necessity of home sup
plies forever in their ears and depict
the utter ruin Of a contrary policy. All
the conventions and newspaper advice
in the world will prove utterly una

A License Question.

William b. Fenwick and four others, rep
resenting the association of drivers of
wagons which deliver beverages of various
kinds to saloons and stores, appeared in
the clerks Office of the Police Court today
and swore out a warrant charging Fred
erick w. Dieste with beiEg an unlicensed
wholesale liquor dealer. The warrant was
sworn out because of action taken by the
Bottlers' Association. 1t is alleged that
the members of the association who are in
the employ of the bottlers are employed
during the entire year, and that when bus-
less gets good in the summer a number Of
men go in the business on their own re-
sponsibility and not in the employ of the
wholesale dealers. These men, it is al
legged, buy their beer of the large dealers
and then pcddle 1t out to stores and saloons
as well as to private houses, and thereby
lessen the sa.es Of the men who work at
the business during the dull as well as the
busy season.
The warrant may be served tomorrow and
the case heard next week. The result of
the ctse Is of vast Importance to the men
interested in the prosecution, and If this
charge is sustained 1T is thought that many
of the hot-weather dealers will be driven
cut Of business, for they cannot afford to
pay the amount of the license tax.

ton on the recent action of the New Jer-
sey chancery court. which court, a day or
Two ago, set aside the order giving Mrs
Slack the custody of her children. as we'll
as the order of arrest issued against Mr..
and Mrs. Perrine because they removed the

Mr. Worthington requested the court to

marked that in view of the yery grave
