To the Editor:
An experience of over thirty years,
with the cotton market. shows that the
crnp i watched with great interest. ana
tb,1 the price depends largely upon the
number OF bales that will be placed on
the market.
When the crop averaged about four
million bales. the price was hffeen cents
nor ncund. The six million bale crop
averaged about 10 cents per pound. WINE
tbe aighr million crops brought only
ahont = cents pr pound. and nlnc inll-
lion bales. reduced the price 10 = cents
per pound. If the next crop reaches Ten
million bales. the price will not average
NOR, than > cents per pound, which
means no profit To the best armers and
an absolute loss To those who purchase
fertilizers, and a portion of their bread
and meat.
What can be done. i the question
asked by the armers | offer the fol-
lowing. which is practically what | adj
vised twenty years ago. and WI-eh -
within the reach of every farmer. IRE
pare Your cotton land, and whether 1t
be ten or one hundred acres, plant cot
ton in every alternate row.. then begin
nearest the house. and plant i'll the oth":
rows u variety of vegetables. III sum
ciont quantity TO feed your own laIlllA
the families of your work-hand. and all
the stock that YOU have. or can obtain.
After this is done. plant the balance IN
COW epas. This will enable You to sell
one or more dressed pigs 10 the nearest
butcher every week. and supply your
own family with meat. Owing to extra
space. the cotton will produce three
fourths as much. as would have been
the case if all the rows had been planted,
and you will have more money at me
end of the year. as you Will have no
provision bills to pay. This can be
dome with profit to every farmer. y
few farmers have adopted the plan. and
they are making money. while those
who produce cotton. with which TO buy
provisions are as poor as they We're
twenty years ago. and it has ruined the
price Of Southern farm property. II
the above plan could be adopted. the
value of every farm in the State would
be doubled during the mex five years.
1t rests with the farmers themselves TO
say whether it shall be poverty or pros
perity. The towns of the South are IN
creasing III prosperity. and with the
best climate in the world, the farmers
should be equally prosperous. Now IS
the time to- adopt new plans. before
the crop is planted.

STOCKS \ BONDS.

New York, May 16.-The stock market
was rather dull to-day and the tone was
heavy throughout. Prices never got far
away from the opening quotations except
in Il few cases. The opening was made
in sympathy with London where the
heavineSS in all departments continues on
account of the uneasiness occasioned by
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain's pessi-
mistic view of internal politics. There
was Il fair outside demand for stocks
in the first hour, which absorbed very
we'll the offerings for London account
and worked some recovery from the low
point. The demand was soon satisfied,
however, and prices drifted for the re-
malnder Of the day to the lower level.
Net losses of numerous leading stocks are
a point or over. There was prevalent
a somewhat less sanguine expectation Of
Il speedy termination of the war based on
some disappointment Over the results Of
the bombardment ut San Juan. Sterling
exchange rates advanced full "a of Il cent
to-day but the market was reported dull.
The money market continued easy and
accommodations on commercial paper
were liberal.
Bonds We're very dull and prices gen
orally lower in sympathy with stocks.
Total sales S1.275.OOO. There was IA de

Chicago, Ill, May 16.-Wheat on the

to covering of shorts. At its best July
wheat here was up : cents and Scptem-
Der 23s cents. The closing prices were
within II cent of the top. Corn finished
with cent gain and oats Il cent. Pro-

same paper two years afterward, and
there is not the slightest shadow of a
doubt, in view of this tertimony. that
Mr.. Petch's cure is permanent. Here
follows the account:
On being again questioned, Mr.. Petch
said: you see those hands-the skin is
now natural and elastic. Once they
were hard and without sensation. You
could pierce them with pin and would
not feel it, and what is true ofmy hands

PARRIED A CHALLENGE.

How q Clever Young Lawyer Got Out 81
Fighting q Duel.
A good story is told of a young law
yer in this city. One of his first cases
was a claim against creole gentleman,
who agreed to pay certain amount
each month. The first of the first month
after the agreement came and went, the
creole gentleman forgetting to remit.
The young lawyer waited several days.
and then wrote letter. It had one vir-
tue-it was emphatic. It was not so
polite as 1t was emphatic, however, and
within an hour Of its delivery to the
creole gentleman two Of his friends call
ed upon the young lawyer with mess
age, which, freely translated, meant
"You have the privilege Of naming the
weapons.
For moment the young lawyer was
genuinely alarmed. He had heard that
the creole gentleman was dead shot
and equally fatal with the sword. He
wanted to avoid trouble, but did not
feel that the circumstances justified him
in pleading professional privilege when
he had virtually called man beat
Then there came to his mind that he
had somewhere read that gentleman
could not grant duel to any one who
owed him money, and he haughtily said
so to his callers. H.
They instantly withdrew. An hour
passed. It was an hour Of anguish to
the young lawyer. Then there came
again the cards of the two friends Of
the offended creole. gentleman. A min
ute later they were in the lawyers
Office, and he had written out receipt
for the full amount Of the claim against
the creole gentleman.
"And now, sir, ;" said the chief Sec
ond of the creole gentleman to the young
lawyer, "what is your answer to our
principals demand?"
my answer, gentlemen, is this: ]
formed the hasty conclusion that your
principal did not intend to pay what !
considered a just debt, and ]. SO ex-
pressed myself. He has paid the debt.
I recognize the seriousness Of my mis-
Judgment of him as gentleman, and ]
beg to assure him, through you, that ]
will willingly offer him any apology
which gentleman may see fit to re-
quire of a gentleman. New Orleans

spinal sclerosis, and all said he could

For three years he fingered in this
condition. Then by some friends he was
advised to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills

there was a slight change. The first
thing noted was tendency to sweat

A Naval Ceremony That Is Not what II

up the rope ladders, and almost by the
time the echoes of the command had
died away every yard on each mast
would support scores Of men and boys,
all standing erect, most Of them only
held up by the crossed arms Of the men
beside them. This representation of a
CROSS was held by all OF the men, and
1t was their business to stand thus with
absolute statuesQueness. Then the COM
mand "Cheer shipl" would be bawled
out on deck by the chief bos'n's mate,
and there would be yell from cathead
