Diversification of Crops.

Out in Texas thoughtful msn have and the merchant do perhaps more to promote the ruinous all-cotton policy than any other single influence. The landlord insists upon the growing of cotton, because he considers 1t the best assurance of payment of rent, and the merchant dloes likewise because he con siders it the best assurance of payment of supplies advanced. The tenant far mer has no alternative.
 If, as is often the case, the landlord is also the merchant, another very sel- fish and shortstghted consideration ap- pears. As the landlord he dictates a crop that will best promote his trade as a merchant As a merchant he does not want his tenant to raise supplies that he has on hand to sell him. His profits would thus be decreased So as landlord and dictator, he forces the ten ant farmer to raise all cotton, and to buy his supplies, which come, of course, from the northwest, because no one is permitted to raise them at home. Tine landlord-merchant is after a while the loser. Ills policy keeps the tenant farmer in debt, and finally drives him out of the district; his lands are i'll kept and are steadily decreased in value and a condition of general improvement is ushered in that saps at length his un- wise gains. The state and the com munity are dhe victims of such greed. No one is benefited in the long run all ans injured by such policy on the part of uhe land owner and merchant.
 Instead of appealing to the tenants to raise less cotton, let the appeal be addressed to the landlords and the mer- chants, and especially to the landlord merchants. For the general good let the merchant yield a poot.on of his trade in supplies. Let both be ready to accept hogs, cattle, butter, eggs, chickens, corn, wheat or sorghum from the tenant. In fact, let them rise to the situation by demanding at least one-haf of payments in such supplies. Get out of the old grooves. Give over so much sIelfishness, and accept little more trouble in order to serve the wsak- CT members of the community, and the state Itself. There is assuredly no hope of relief except through action of thLs nature on your part. You are masters of the situation, and through you only can a change be wrought in the all-imporrant maftter of home sup plies.

Concealed Weapons.

The GreensborJ Watchman and the Huntsville Mercury are both confident that a year in the pen1tentbary. instead of a fine would not lessen the prevalent habit of carrying concealed weapons. because juries would not in such eases d1 their duty. In the words of the Watehman, ''They would do the negro all right on that line, but not the oithsr fellow" A change of the offense from mfsdemeanor to felony would result, says the Mercury, in no convictions.
 But the Watchmnn proposes penalty that is almost automatic. Let the law, 1t says. stand as it is, and provide in addlton that the man who is guilty of the offense shall be debanred from vot- ing or holding office. This" says the Watehman, would bring the game down. as nearly every one expects at some time in his life to hold an offica.''
 If pistol toter be elected to office, his opponent could oust him by proving his guilt m the matter of pistol car rying. There seems to be no need of extending the penalty Ito the ballot box. Let the offender vote, but nip his of flee seeking ambition in the bud. No man who cartfes a pistol is fit to hold office. He lis a law breaker, and only law-abidng citizens should be put in office. True, a law-breaker has no claims upon the electoral franchise, but the state needs an electorate, and the Watchman's proposition would reduce the voting population 10 low figures if fully enfcireed at the polls. The ap- plicaihion of the penalty to office-holding would suffice It is the best suggestion that has thus far been advanced in the efforts to find a solution of the prob lem. The papers of the state are g.v- ing the subject unusual attention, ard they are ready as rule to support any proposition that is feasible-that juries, in other worlds, would enforce.

Md-Aue,


call the "settling time'-just between Christmast and New Years-when the bills began to come in as long as ones arm, ana sometimes longer. How the head or the family began amiably to scan these docu- ments at first, but as the list grew in length and enormity how his mood changed and he muttered and sputtered in wrath to him. self until at last in uncomfortable indigna- tien, he called his wife and daughters around him to ask explanations from them of their part in the making of these yearly accounts
 In Alabama town such gruesome, depressing settlement was going on, just be- fore certain New Years day. The man was rich, able to give his family every luxury, and to pay cash for them, but he had grown up on the credit system and he clung tenacousy to his training. His wife loved the beautiful things of life, and knowing he was able to afford them, she naturally induged her luxurious tastes, and as he would not give her the necessary money she did the next best thing and "charged' everything she bought to her husband.
 So on this especial occasion she was in- vestigated as to her purchases, why she Hdu wanted tnlS, WHdt ulQ Sne need that for, etc., etc., down through the long and dreary bill.
 At last the husband picked up a fresh document and his manner changed imme- diately; his eyes twinlxled with merriment as he looked up at his wife-who had no humor in her nature-and he said: Well, Mary, thought those other bills covered the ground entirely, but here is a new thing; what under heaven did you want with base drum? What did you buy that for, and what did you do with it?" His wife simply looked at him with an express sion of supreme disgust and replied with suppressed emotion, "Mr. G., that bill is wrong; it must be intended for some one else; did not purchase base drum, be- cause had no use for 1t whatever. Had needed it, assure you would have bought 1t without hesitation" And so she would, for she was strong, self-assertve woman, who understood her rights and did not object to making them known, at the proper time.

to charge. It is not sufficient to give this company the profit 1t is entitled to for the splendid service it has given this city-espe- cially the outlying districts. such as the South Highlands, and that section of the city. Make the gas company charge good stiff price and let 1t make money. We all want to see prosperous concerns here. Don't attempt to influence the board of aldermen. Boards of aldermen, as you well know, are usually made up of dema- gogues, who pander to the wishes of the common people. This board might not be an exception They are liable to do any fool thing.
 Give the middle classes of people an inch and they will take an ell. If you give them dollar gas they will soon be crying for free gas, just as they are now crying for free silver. The Birmingham people of means are now using gas and are making no complaint. Let the other people do with out it, as they have been doing.

to worse than nothing, until the sad exi- gencies of the times prepared them for the stern realities which confronted them.
 Ever since the war closed-now more than thirty years-the younger generation has made small progress in overcoming this natural southern instinct to go into debt. Southerners continue to make bills of all kinds, forgetful that every one pur- chases more on credit than for cash, and that at the end of a month or a year as the case may be, when the reckoning day comes there is a struggle to meet the obligation and self-reproach that many unnecessary articles have been bought.
 Because of this long continued credit sys- tenn the planters have very little surplus money at any time, and are obliged to pledge their cotton before it is planted to the money lender. They may live care fully, economically, to degree, but being compelled to buy nearly everything on credit, the end of the year finds them often selling not only their cotton to meet their debts. but sometimes their corn, and their mules.
 With our magnificent climate, soil and
 
 people of the south in the lead of every other race, financially and otherwise. They would be independent of the money holders of other sections, free from the dictation of greedy capitalists" and without a sin gle serious weight, save that of the shot gun policy to hold them back in the grand march of progress. For change in the present financial system, the south must labor, it will bring to her the opportuni- ty to adopt the cash system in every form and class of business. Until these changes come the distressing poverty of this section must arouse the attention of every politi- cal economist in the country. The south must have more money and a cash system; with these two requisites her future is as- sured.
 Every southerner who has the fafntest recollection of ''before the war" can re-
