The total estimated decrease in
cotton acreage in the United States
for 1899 is 10 4l0 per cent OF
1906, 900 acres less than last year,
and the average planting of the crop
is about two weeks later than last
year.
Our correspondents report that the
reduction in the acreage has been
brought about by the low price Of
cotton, reluctance of commission
merchants to make as liberal advances
to the planters as formerly, and the
increase in acreage in tobacco, wheat
and corn.
In Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
Louisiana, Mississippi and South
Carolina, owing to the continued
drought and defective seed, much
complaint exists of poor stands
causing much replantiDg, and of late
planting rot coming up
In Arkansas and portions of Texas
there are complaints Of too much
rain causing grassy condition. and
considerable damage from worms
Our correspondents also report a
large reduction 10 the use of fertili-
zers, viz 26 per cent. in Alabama,
25 per cent in Florida, 80 per cent
in Georgia, 25 per cent North Caro-
liua, and 80 per cent in South Caro-

: rba outbreak of lawlessness a

The outbreak of lawlessness at
s Griffin. Ca, is more serious affair
than the sporadic lynchings that have
been provoked from time TO time by
the oatrages of negro criminals. 1t
is organized lawlessness based Upon
race prejudice aud labor jealousy,
and is directed against law. abiding
and Industrious negroes and their
white employers alike. Of course
this outbreak is the logical result of
mob violence and the general spph-
cation of lynch Law. which has begot-
ten disrespect for all law, and 1t
was the belief that such things would
inevitably follow that fortified us in
our consistent opposition to lynch
Law. We have always been free to
admit the defects Of law, as applied
in majority Of our courts, but we
have contended aud still contend that
law and respect for law, however de-
sective the law may be. is far better
for the country aud the whole body
polite than the unbridled license aud
violation of all rights of citizenship
that lynch law and mob rule are
breeding in this country. The Crit

ties of the State should make them

NEW Chinese WEAPON.
Inventor Receives Button OF Second
Degree For Instrument OF
Death

An ingenious Chinese military man
has recently invented a weapon which
the mandarins at Picking think will
cause terror in the hearts of the in
vaders, and au order has been issued
for the manufacture of large supply
to be distributed throughout the
army. According to description
that appears in the Chinese papers this
terrible weapon is combination of
spear and shovel, AT one end of pole
there Is large, sharp pike, such as
knights of medieval times used to car
ry. At the other end there is a shovel
or spade, with a blade about eight
inches wide, which can be used both
as an intrenching tool aud as weapon.
1t is especially handy in beheading
prisoners, and all the Chinese soldier
has to do ia to stick the pike at one end
of his pole through the body of his
enemy, and then turn around and cut
off the head with shovel. Instead of
sending the inventor of this terrible
weapon to The Hague to represent
China in the Peace Conference, the
Empress Dowager rewarded him with
q button of the second class. -Pittsburg
