At the Piedmont Exposition, held in
Atlanta. one Of tho features Of the show
was the marriage OF two couples who
were clad in cotton bagging The couples
were married In the presence OF u vast
throng OF people, who laughed and made
merry at the novel spectacle.
One Of the brides on that occasion has
now been arrested in Atlanta charged
with keeping "a disorderely house. And
this is the sequel TO the exposition TO
marce. We believe that such exhibitions
should not only be discountenanced, but
that they should be forbidden by law
We Go not believe that any exposition
should be permitted TO trihe with this
holy ordinance. 1t would be surprising
indeed, IL marriage under such cir
cumstances should turn out well.

The cotton planters of South Carolina
recently held q convention TO consider
again the old question OF reducing the
cotton acreage. The South has now
produced two prodisious crops Of cotton
and necessarily the price is low. IN
deed. as was mentioned in our news col
umns yesterday. the October option
reached the lowest point on record on
wednesday last If the farmers of the
South" says one OF our Southern ex-
changes. would reflect upon the fact
that they receive no more money for a
crop OF 100000 bales than for one Of
10000 bales, but that the big crop
costs a great deal more 20 produce and
market. they might see the wisdom Of
reducing production
The burden Of the song at the recent
South Carolina convention was that the
farmers must "get together and agree
upon some cooperative plan by which
the cotton acreage will be reduced. For
our part we arc convinced that the de-
sired result viii never be accomplished
by any such means. There are so many
cotton planters that it is next 10 i'm
possible 10 get them 10 agree upon any
scheme Of this character and 81 has been
shown hy experience that even when they
do come TO an agreement many OF them
do not abide by 90. Indeed all such
agreements usually result in the pro-
duction OF a larger crop. for the individ-
ual farmer reasons with himself that IL
the cotton acreage az large is to Doe re-
ducod there VIII be an increase in the
price OF cotton. and that that is the
time FOR him TO put i'm large crop.
The individuals make up the orsan.za-
ton. and the result IS more cotton. SO
that We believe that the cotton produc-
ton IS TO be reduced and viii be reduced
by the individual action OF farmers rath-
or than by any attempted cooperative
effort. when the farmers of the South
each for himself. come TO tho conclusion
that the sensible thing TO do is 90 pro-
duce their supplies at home, 10 diversity
their crops. TO make the farm support
the family and TO plant a smaller acre
age of cotton as a money crop. then. and
not until thon. I'm our opinion. will the
acreage throughout the whole South be
reduced.
As we said The other day in discuss
ing this subject, the farmer must learn
that he can produce his supplies cheap
err than he can purchase them from other
farmers. and when he does learn that
fact and conducts his farm operations in
accordance herewith, then the problem
will solve itself

There is much truth in This charge, but
the fact ls that for political purposes the

Yesterday evening Miss Winnie Davis

IL was known that her untimely death
would excite widespread sympathy and
that her uncontesled possession Of the
title "The Daughter Of tho Confedoracy,'
