these questions are considered by Con.

AS you request, will use my ut

me, L feel that these are feeble safe
guards. The United States, with the
control of the Philippines, by treaty or
otherwise, Will be in position not only
to insist upon, but to assert equality
of trade rights in the East. Without
this, all she can do is to respectfully
but firmly protest against their VIOLA

past, is not in q position to assert and
maintain them.

posed the annexation of the Philippines,
but l am ready to vote money and men
to prevent the Asiatic market being
closed to our manufactures. There is
common sense AMI patriotism in one
policy and there is danger and abso-
lutely no necessity for the other. ]
will say for your private information
that in the debate on the Spanish treaty
last winter, it was made very evident
that the motive which led to the pur-
chase of the Philippines from Spain
was clearly outlined to embrace the
of the Chinese market to
American manufactures, and that it
was thought there was advantage IN
holding those islands with that view.
thought we could get all the trade
advantage without annexation by ex-
'rclslng a protectorale, and not at
empting to deal with the perplexing
of governing so many hetero-
5eneous peoples. The whole world is
the developments in the
East, and l think there IS 10 need of
alarm lest America be left out.

give the next crop. Say we make as
large crop per acre. Say crop of last
year Q1, 100000 pales), less 900 600
decrease in acreage, 1,0O0,O decrease
in fertilizing, and 100000 put up in
round bales, leaving 100000 square
bales. take out the 900, 900 round
bales, as it is out of the hands of the
regular trade. 1t goes direct to mills,
and is not held to squabble over by
cotton exchanges. l notice they are
very much troubled now to find out
how much of 1898 and 1899 crop is in
round bales.
If the farmers will hold back their
cotton and put it on the market by de-
Srees the market will continue to ad-
vance. The mills will soon be out of
cotton, and they must get their supply
from the new crop, as the cotton re-
naming from the last years. crop is Il
low grade. Judging from prices of
cotton goods, cotton should bring 8
cents today. The mills are getting 10
cents for cotton rope, and it is made
from the very lowest grade of cotton.
| hope the ginners will use the round
bale system, get up some competition,
change the manner of handling, and
thus stop the gambling to some extent,
and give the farmer fair profit. That
is all he asks. A. 1. SEYMOUR.

men hunting agricultural fields does
not turn Southwark. What are we tC

cations-let alone putting them into

iiYe sons. They have had no trouble
IN getting good positions as soon as
their education was finished. Not ope
showed any inclination TO remain on

young white men drifting away from
the farms. The sons of farmers are
getting college educations, find ready
employment in the various new depart
ments that modern science is creating
In Industrial life, and where the in
come has less of doubt and uncertainty
about it than the farm offers.
Our editors plead in vain for the
youths to stick to the plow, when the
youths easily find peasanter "iobs"
elsewhere.
Usually, am not pessimist. 1 try
to see the brightest side that every
event has. But the more L study this
question of help on the farm the less
light find about it. There is no use
in trying to change the course of the
young negro. You can no more
change his mind and his habit than
you can change the skin of the average
African.
The negro himself is not altogether
to blame for this state of affairs. If
1T were left to the Southern man and
the darkey together, I could see some
ray of hope for both. But fools and
fanatics of the North-and the cor
rupt political preachers they place in
the negro pulpits all over the South
these are responsible for the present
Of affairs. 1t is q condition
which l grieve to confess is fraught
with danger to the agricultural inter
ests of the South, to say nothing of
the social blight that is already becou,-
ing an unutterable nuisance.

How CURIOSITY WAS SATISFIED
There is handsome young woman in
Washington who had the misfortune
to fall downstairs a few years ago, 80
badly fracturing one of her knees that
the limb had to be amputed. The
young woman, who walks with the aid
OF crutches, is not In the least sensitive
about the matter.
One afternoon recently che got on an
E street car, bound for the hill, and
found herself In the same seat with q
sharp eyed woman who seemed to take
whole lot of interest In her and her
crutches. She scrutinized the young
woman's face carefully for couple OF
minutes, then turned her attention to
the workmanship OF the crutohes,
which she took the liberty to handle
curiously. Then she looked the young
woman over again, and leaned over to
her. Do you mind telling me how
you lost your leg ?" she asked, raspily.
"Nob In the least" responded the
young woman, amiably, 81 Lost 1t In

ent century. Our air is not only In
dlspensable for respiration, but it pro
te"hs us from being stoned to death b,
tn cosnic gravel.
according to DR.. Denning, the mos
brilliant display in our annals was the
November meteoric shower of 1883. Ii
Boston alone 1t Is estimated that 24O,
ooo meteors we're visible during the
seven hours duration of the shower
and he says:
THE words prodigious,' 'stupen.
dous,' and magnificent do not de-
scribe 1t. Compared with the splen
dor OF this celestial exhibition, the
most brilliant rockets and fireworks OF
art bore less relation than the most
tiny star to the dread glare of the
sun. Stars" fell until there was none
left.
:" "A South Carolina planter, writing
OF this meteoric display and its effect
| ipon the negroes on his plantation
says '" was suddenly awakened by
the most distressing cries that ever
and cries of mercy | could hear from
most OF the negroes OF three planta-
| lions, amounting in all to 600 or 500.
" lille earnestly listening for the
cause, | heard faint voice near the
door calling my name. | arose and
taxing my sword, stood at the door.
At this moment heard the same
voice beseeching me to rise and saw.
lng, Oh, my God The world is on
fire %
II then opened the door, and it is
dl1hcult to say which excited me the
most-distressed cries of the negroes.
Upward of hundred lay PROSTATE on
the ground some speechless, but with
hands upralsed, tmplOring God to save
the world and them. The scene was
truly awful; for never did rain fall
much thicker than did the meteors to.
ward the earth, east, west, north and
south it was the same.
1t may be safely said" continues
Or. Denntng, "that in the month OF
November all astronomers and a great
majority OF the general public will be-
come meteoric observers, for the phe-
nomena presented will be OF an excep-
tlonal kind and of a character to inter.
est everyone.
There is scarcely any natural event
which to the observant eye is so bril-
liant and 80 impressive and animated
as rich shower OF meteors.
" a solar total eclipse, with its weird
shadow bands, corona and red promi-
nences, large comet with its train
spread over considerable extent OF
tne heavens, aud brilliant aurora
borealis with its streams and conden-
sations OF crimson lights, have their
striking attributes ; but 1t is question
aole whether they can compare with |
the remarkable features which accom- |
pany great fall OF shooting stars.
The rarity of the spectacle also en-
hancee its interest, 30 that when once |
seen 1t is never forgotten.
For hours meteors descend, not |
singly or in pairs, but in bursts of ten
or twenty or more, and they are mostly |
fine objects like Sirius or stars OF the |
hrst magnitude"
