1lDING L AGAINST
REACTIONS. =
Democratic NewsDaper.

Reactions occur in the course
of any change in the prices OF a
great staple, and cotton is no ex-
ception to the rule. There are,
too, occurrences impending that
may affect the price, despite the
shortness of the crop and the inn
mense demand for it in the mills.
We refer, not simply to a wal be-
tween England and the combined
Dutchmen of South Africa, but to
possible complications growing
out of that war. The latter occur"
renee is now somewhat hazy and
improbable, but if it should occur
If Russia or Germany in any
way interfere in the matter-the
price of cotton would be affected.
"Under the circumstances says
the Memphis Scimetar, "it is not
well to advise farmers to hold
their crop for higher prices. The
safer plan would be to market
enough Of their Gotten to pay
thcir debts as tnay gel 1T ready
and sell the remainder by degrees.
By this means they would be IN a
position to take advantage of any
further rise, without exposing
themselves to loss. The farmer
who holds back all his crop for a
price that he has fixed in his own
mind becomes to that extent a
Spectator, and production and
speculation do not work we'll to-
gether."
This is beyond a doubt good ad-
vice. There is much wild talk IN
the South as to ten cent cotton and
the like, but nothing of the kind
is within reason. But even if it
were, the plan suggested by the
Scimetar would retain a portion
of the crop against any such
blessing.
Looking to the long future,
the Selma Journal has been siz-
ing up the situation-not the
situation at present, but that of
next year aud of following years,
and It's conclusions are rs wise as
to the future as the Scimetar's
are as to the present. Says the
Journal:
"First, reduce the cotton acre
age by raising home supplies,
which latter can be made at one
third the price paid for purchas-
ing them abroad, and form in
telligent organizations for this
purpose.
Second, bring the cotton mills
to the cotton fields of the South
where they should be by every
law OF. political and industrial
economy and common sense"
To all of which the Birminge
ham Age-Herald adds. "A COM
prehensive cotton platform can
be had by combining the planks
of the Tennesseean and of the
Alabamiau, and the farmer who
stands on the platform will not
go far astray. He will be among
the winners, to say the least"

Washington.
For the first time since it's organ
ization the Sorosis, of New York,
has admitted a man to one of it's
meetings The favored individual is
Webster Glynes, of London, the
husband of one of the former presi-
dents of the society. Mrs. Glynes
was also present at the meeting and
Mr.. Glynes appears to have behaved
himself very we'll. It has also leaked
out that Sorosis now has a Sbouncer"
in the person of Mrs. Lydia G.
Coffin, whose duty it is to see that
all Objectionable people are excluded
from the gatherings.
The Rev. P. J. O'Brien, a Roman
Catholic priest of ST. Johns, New
foundland, has invented a new form
of hull for boats which he thinks
will win the Americas cup next
time if the Shamrock fails to do it
this month. The principal feature of
the new design is the concavity, in
transverse section, of the boats
bottom, so that sides and bottom
meet III a sharp angle at the bilge.
One boat already built on this prin-
ciple has shown great speed, and it
is claimed the design will increase
the speed of any boat, whether pro-
PEELED by wind or steam.

A startling incident, of which MT John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him as follows: "I was in most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in the back and sides, no appetite-gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Fortunately, a friend advised trying Electric Bitters;' and to my great joy and surprise, the first bot tie made decided improvement. I con tinued their use for three weeks, and am now well man. know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim" No one should fail to try them. Only 50 cents, guaranteed, at R. H.

estate only which passes by will or in- flciary is liable to tax. It is not the gross estate which passes, but rather the net estate. The debts and obligations and expenses of administration are paid and adjusted before distribution.
 The careful provision made by the law for 6 second appraisal of the estate in or- der to fix the valuation, suggests that it Is the actual valuation of the estate, min. us the ten thousand dollars SIC, ,OO0) which is made to bear the burden of the placed upon the sum total of the proper ty or estate, including debts and obliga- tions.
 The debts and legal obligations are made payable and are paid before any thing passes by will or by the inheritance laws. And ordinarily, if there is not sui. ficient estate to pay ali of the debts und legacies, the debts will first be paid, and what remains will be devoted to the pay ment of legacies.
 It is, therefore, the net estate which passes by will or by inheritance. The amount consumed in the payment o1 debts and obligations, and in administer. ing upon the estate, including the expen ses of settlement, does not ''pass" to any | one within the meaning of the law. My conclusion, therefore, is that the debts and expenses of settlement should be deducted, with the ten thousand dollars ($l0, ,00Oexemption before com. putting the tax.-rCharles Phelps, Atror- ney General,
