Mr.. Bradley's Plan to Plant Cotton.

To the Editor of the State: 1t is a
fact we'll known to every one that our
financial condition is depressed
mean the Sou5hern States-and it is
all due to the fact that we are getting
nothing for cotton, our money crop;
and this is caused, as we we'll know,
by overproduction. Various RENE
dies have been suggested. 1t is a
problem that has taxed the minds OF
our best thinkers and most practical
farmers for years. That something
must be done is evident, or we cannot
see future relief.
suppose it will not come amiss for
me to give my experience in the fond
hope that what say will be the
means of doing something to relieve
the situation. I have made study
of this subject and shall attempt to
give you my experience.
1t is universally conceded that re-
duction of acreage is the cure for all
the ills. How to bring about this re-
duction is the question. Any of the
plans suggested would bring the de-
sired relief if carried out.
My plan is this: Let the farmer
prepare as much land for cotton as he
may wish, but when he is ready to
plant, let him plant every other row
IN cotton, and in June let him plant
the remaining rows in peas. This,
you will observe, reduces the acreage
one-half, but does not reduce the
yield SO much, as my experience
teaches me.
I make at least three -fourths Of a
crop of cotton, and peas without limit.
You enrich your land. so that in a
few yearsayou can make bale per
acre Will. every alternate row in peas,
have an abundance Of feed, and c6nse-
ouently fat stock and your bacon at
home. Besides, you save onc-half
fertilizer, onc-half Eoeing and one
third plowing.
We have in cultivation this year2!:
600, 600 acres. We will make (in
round numbcrs) 10000, 600 bales.
This cotton is worth, at the present
price $3.50, 100000. Now, to follow
the pea suggestion, We would have -
coo, 900 in cultivation, which would
yield $500, 900 bales: or $500, ,OOO, 600
at Sc. per pound, gain of $50, 200: 900,
to say nothing about the cost Of pro-
duction, which, as have shown,
would be about one-half.
If it is not desirable to plant so
many peas, you can plant pindars,
sweet or Irish potatoes, with equal
success. bought ten acres Of very
poor land and farmed it as above sug-
gested. and to-day | am offered S4OO
for the ten acres. I am making bale
of cotton per acre, and corn, etc., in
proportion.
Now, Mr.. Editor, what has been
done on small scale can be denc on
large one. Let any man follow this
plan and he will have like expert
cncc. W. L. BRADLEY.

The o. p. Men Win.

ATLANTA, GA, November l3.-
Judges Pardee and Newman, Of the
United States Court, handed down a
decision in the famous dispensary case
this morning, cnjoining the Southern
from refusing to haul liquor into South
Carolina in future.
The decision is an important one,
in that the original package law is in
volvcd. The Judges decided that Ii
quors and wines in bottles packed in
boxes and shipped in carload lots were,
under the law Of South Carolina,
clearly admissible, and should be
handled by any railway.

The people of Cuba do not seem to
want autonomy, and this is especially
the case with the business men and
planters. The reason is not far to see.
If they accept autonomy they accept
with it the mountain of debt which
Spain has incurred in her effort to
conquer the revolutionists. 1t would
be enough to oppress the insular rcve-
nucs for century. The Cubans pre-
fer to fight to the death rather than
be crushed by such a burden. The
large majority prefer annexation, or at
least Il protcctoratc by the United
States. The question is whether we
want either.

BILLS IN TROUBLE.

I've got letter, parson, from my son
away out West,
An my OF heart is heavy as an anvil in
my breast
To think the boy whose futur' | had
once so proudly planned
Should wander from the path o. right
an come to SIGH an end
1 told him when he left us only three
short years ago,
He'G find himself a-plowin' in mighty
crooked row
He'd miss his fathers counsels, an his
mothers prayers, too,
But he said the farm was hateful, an
he guessed he'd have to go.
| know thar's big temptation for a
youngster in the West,
But believed our Billy had the cour-
age to resist,
An when he left warned him o. the
everwaitin' snares
That lie like hidden sarpints in life's
pathway everywheres.
But Bill he promised faithful to be
keerful, an allowed
He'd build a regulations that'd make us
mighty proud,
But it seems as how my counsel sort o.
faded from his mind,
An now the boys in trouble o. the very
wustest kind!
His letters come so seldom that / some
how sort o. knowed
That Billy was tralnpin' on mighty
rocky road,
But never once imagined he would bow
my head in shame,
An in the dust d waller his o. daddys
honored name.
He writes from out in Denver, an the
story's mighty short;
| just can't tell his mother, it'll crush
her poor OF heart.
And so | reckoned, parson, you might
break the news to her
Bill's in the Legislature, but he doesn't
say what fur.-EXchange.

useful and must always have a
place in the wardrobe designed for
warm days, but it is the little short
sacque or blouse that is dearly be-
loved by the feminine heart. 1t is
less trouble to put on and off. and as
to being comfortable, nothing can
excel it.
The little short negligee is so per-
fectly easy to make that the woman
least skilled in garment fashiOning
can make them very successfully
OF course, they may be more elabO-
rately made, but the favorite model
for the woman who simply wants an
asy-fitting, lOungins robe is made
of straight lengths Of material, cut
long enough to fall below the hips,
hemmed down the front edges, and
gathered into the neck band. The
side seams are left open about eight
inches from the top edge of the
widths, the opening being not less
than nine inches long. Into this set
the sleeve, which is cut square, after
the Japanese sleeve model. A wide
frill of lace goes about the neck, and
two sets of ribbon strings tie the
sacque at the neck and just below
the bust. Such little garments are
invaluable for slipping on with the
| petti"oat when one is combing the
hair. They are very pretty made of
wash silk in delicate shades. They
should never be made of fabrics
that will. not wash, as their chief
characteristic should be utility.
Silk is not so cool as batiste, and its
effect is hardly prettier.
White muslin tea gowns are the
latest, and very pretty and refresh
ing to look upon, are they.
There is truly no higher note of
elegance in the matter of lounging
robes to be touched than in dotted
swiss. The dots must be small
however, a great deal of lace must
be used, and those for the latest
trousseaus have bows and knots and
streamers of white taffeta ribbon
set on at every available point
With the dotted muslin long blouse
goes a skirt of the same material
decorated with two lace founces al
the foot, and the back of the blouse
it should be noted, is not laid in 8
vatican plat. This device, though
graceful enough, adds too much
weight for hot weather, and with
none of these flowing garments is q
corset worn. Thus there is hygienic
comfort, mingled with fashionable
splendor, for the long blouse, like
the short one, fastens together only
over the bust, and exceedingly love
ly ones are made from the new
brown, rose and pale green French
batistes woven with satin stripes il
paler or brighter shades.

Health Notes.

Raisins are stimulating in proper
tion to their quality.
Lemons and tomatoes should not
be used daily in cold weather; they
have thinning and cooling effect.
All stone fruits are considered to
be injurious for those who suffer
from the liver, and should be used
cautiously.
Don't go where there is glare of
either sunlight or electric light more
than you can help. The green of
the country and of the grass and
trees is restful for the eyes.
Don't go to an optician to get
glasses without first being examined
and treated by good oculist. Much
harm is often done this way, and
your eyes are not things to run any
risk with.
The whole system needs to be in
good condition to keep each organ
right. So keep your body strong,
for when the body weakens the eyes
weaken. This is the reason Of fail
ing sight in old age.

ed or weak from sickness; they are

LITTLE THINGS.

1t was only little thing for Nell
To brighten the kitchen fire,
TO spread the cloth, to draw the tea,
AS her mother might desire
A little thing; but her mother smiled,
And banished all her care,
And a day that was sad
Closed bright and glad
With song of praise and prayer.
Twas only little thing to do
For a sturdy lad like Ned
To groom the horse, to milk the COW,
And bring the wood from the shed,
But his father was glad to find at night
The chores were all we'll done.
81 am thankful" said he,
Gas / can be
For the gift of such a son."
Only small things but they brighten the
life,
Or shadow it with care
But little things, yet they mold life
For joy or sad despair:
But little things, yet life's best prize
The reward which labor brings
Comes to him who uses,
And not abuses,
The power of little things.

Ruffies of lawn, ruffles of lace, ruff
fes of ribbon and all sorts of ruffles,
find place on the summer skirts; and
other styles of trimming, too. There
fore, dress skirts are daily becoming
more interesting, both to those that
make them, and those that wear
them, and those that do neither-the
latter being men of course. For the
new summer skirts are very fascina-
ting.
In the first place, there is a new
bell skirt, which is used more than
any other shape, for the foundation
of the summer skirts.
This is cut in three pieces-a front
gore and one bell breath each side
of this gore, which is very wide, and
has bias seam down the back. The
skirt measures about four and one
half yards about the bottom, and
can be used as a drop skirt I'M

All the various French models fit
smoothly around the hips, the full
ness at the back either gathered or
pleated In compact form, and with
just an easy, graceful flare around
the lower portion of the skirt.

is having the best of it in the matter
of skirts this season. She knows

the most of the ruffled skirt fashion

Summer Salads.

An exchange says: 1t is by no
means necessary to have chicken or
sweetbreads for delicious summer
salad. Cold chopped veal, lamb, or
mutton may be seasonsed with salt
and pepper, and served in the hearts
of ice-cOld ripe tomatoes with tea
spoonful of Mayonnaise on each.
An additional seasoning that is most
appetizing may be few drops of on
ion juice, or bit of chopped onion,
or water cress or parsley. Bits left
over of delicate fish may be faxed
and used in the same way for a
luncheon or dinner dish, or for a
hot-weather supper dish where fami-
lies have an early dinner.
