THE COTTON INDUSTRY.
Speaking Of the cotton industry, he

is some legislative or other disadyan-
tages in the South that are not found
in the North If there was any such
disadvantage in Georgia he did not
know what it waE He knew that the
people would welcome cotton mills. He
wanted them because the cotton crop is
now worth $25 600 900, aud if it were
made into the cheapest kind Of cotton

should be less complication in the trans

ernment being against them. for when
man gets the idea that the govern
ment is against him and should be
changed he is apt to wait for the change

h W. Youmsns Believes in Free
Silver aud Lower Tariff
Joseph B Ager, president Of the
Maryland State Grange, appeared be-
fore the Industrial Commission last
week lie said that a trust among the
farmers such as was suggested by MI
Havemeyer was impracticable, owing TO
the difficulty of getting the farmers to
hold up prices Speaking Of colored la
Dor, he said it was unreliable, because
of the natural Incidence and indiiier
ence Of individuals of the colored race.
Liquor he regarded as the great bane Oh
that people, and responsible for nine
tenths Of the crimes committed by them.
Mr.. Ager considered the condition Of
the average farmer as worse than it was
twenty years ago. but he believed
money invested in farming safer than
in other lines Of business. lie attrib.
uted the number Of abandoned farms in
the State TO the fact that they were
owned by non.residents Mr.. Ager said
the grange was not so prosperous in
point Of numbers as formerly, and he
attributed the falling of largely 70 the
fact that the grange could not be used
IN politics.
L. W. Youmans, Of South Carolina,
occupied the witness stand during the
afternoon session lie said the agricul.
tural interest Of the South was greatly
depressed, and he attributed the de-
preston to the fact that silver was not
recognized as a money metal lie said
there had not been an increase Of the
volume of money to correspond with
the increase Of population As conse-
quence there had been a general depre-
citation Of value. He was proceeding to
develop his views upon this point when
q point Of order was made against the
character of the testimony, Ind this
point was sustained by the chair, ai-
ter a somewhat spirited encounter be
tween Representative Livingston, Of
Georgia, and the Republican members
Mr Youmans, Of South Carolina, then

thought the tariff also an obstacle 10
progress, saying that while the cotton
grower of the United States was COM
PEELED to compete with the cheap labor
Of the world in sales abroad, he was not
allowed to buy the product Of that labor
in other articles abroad without paying
a duty Of 10 per cent upon 1t. As rem
edies he suggested the free coinage Of
silver, a lower tariff and local banks Of

my family among them, feeling conf
dent of their safety and protection.
He thought however that the negro

to educate him. and while he willingly
paid his share for such efforts at educa-
tion. he considered the money so spent
as thrown away.

Mrs. Lloyd LOwndes, wife of the gov
ernor Of Maryland, is engaged in the
benefcent work of curing whooping
cough at Annapolis, says the Baltimore
Sun.
1t would be better, perhaps, to state
that Mrs Lowndes is kept busy respond
ing to the appeals Of curious folklore
fancy of Southern Maryland. In the
household philosophy Of that section
it is gravely stated that if the mother
Of twin children will butter a piece OF
bread for a patient while suffering
with whooping cough the little one
will be speedily relieved upon eating
it,
Two of Mrs. Lowndes sons are twins.
Whooping cough is now prevalent at
Annapolis. These two statements give
an index to her present troubles.
Anxious mothers of late have been ap-
pealing to the lady Of the executive
mansion in season and out of season.
No social function is too important to
be interrupted by them. The door guard
ian is constantly bringing in Macedon-
ian cries for pieces Of buttered bread Mrs.
