PRIMARY ELECTIONS.

FROM the tone Of the press, it
seems that many Of the people are.
from now on and forever, against
primary elections.
There is, We admit, much ground
for complaint against primaries az
was carried ON In this State the last
two years: IT was enough to disgust
is strongest advocates. But when
one stops to consider, lie will find the
trouble lies not in the intent, but the
act; not in the election, but the law
governing 1t. And it is the duty Of
our next legislature 10 pass a primary
election law that viii force the people
t, carry it out in the same manner
AS the regular election.
Again, the primaries OF the state
for state officers should be held on
one day. This will not only save the
candidates making the race money,
but it vii save the State another
disgrace ny having it said the vote OF
this and that county for certain
man, was bought. Another argument
in having the elections in the coun.
ties held on "A certain day is. it car
rjeS ont the intent and purpose Of the

HINTS FOR the COTTON GROWER.

fled or not, the crop is undo lbtedly ;
big one, and there is no prospect fol
any material reduction in the annual
supply of the staple hereafter. Hence
the only chance of profit in cotton
growing that seems to be left to farm
ers lies in reducing the cost OF pro-
duction and finding a more :onomi.
cal method of ginning. billing and
marketing their crop that that which
now prevails.
Th IRE are s)me noteworthy sus-
geston> Oh this line in an address
delivered rec ,ntly before the NV

showed that carelessness in picking

to put in dirt and all manner of for.

he puts at $3.50 per bale:
Mr., Derdeyn finds the next great
waste in bad ginning, which, by tear.
ing and weakening the fiber, deprec.

a bale. If the work were done BY
the roller gin instead Of the saw gin,
he says cotton would sell one cent a
pound higher. These different items

sells at about s2j. In other words,
with Proper management. he would
get IL cents more per pound, or one
third more than he now receives.
There are other losses in samplipu

the saving thus effected. if all these
reforms were practiced, would amount
to as much Il $40 a bale.
This saving to the farmer would

said, they appear to offer the only
satisfactory solution of the question
