Large Sale of Guano

From the Greenville Advocate.
 The merchants of this city are selling thousands of tons of guano. This is an evidence of the fact that the farmers in- tend to plant a full acreage in cotton. It is well to plant cotton and plenty of it, but don't do 1t to the exclusion of the food crops. The farmer who plants cotton and buys his bread and meat, is not Solomon and will never be a rich man. More than that, he will be exceedingly lucky if he ever comes from under the mortgage that he makes with which to buy the bread and meat.

THE HOUs E

Washington, March 1.-The democrats scored their first victory of the session in the house today on the motion to take up the contested election case of Aldrich vs Robbins from the Fourth Alabama district On two separate votes the democrats, with the aid of two republicans, MT. Mondell, of Wyoming, and H. c. Smith, of Michigan, beat the republicans upon the question of consideration.
 A bill was passed to grant an American register to the ship Windward, in which Lieutenant Peary will make an attempt to reach the North Pole.
 The house resumed its wonted bistessness. There was general relaxation after the bitter and protracted struggle over the Porto Rican bill, which ended yesterday. Two corrections were made in the votes of yesterday. Mir. Snodgrass, democrat of Tennessee, explained that he had voted to recommit, and MT. Daveys, democrat of California, that he had voted against the motion.
 MT. Mann, from the committee of cleo tions No. l, called up as a matter of priyi- lege the contested election case of Atdrich vs. Robbins, from the Fourth Alabama district. Mir. Bartlett, of Georgia, raised the question of consideration, and the house by vote of 13s to 1i3 declined to take up the case.

McGraw's men played championship ban
to-day. Their batting was phenomenal and
little fault could be found with the support
that Sudhoff received in the field. The
result was victory for the visitors by
score Of Il to 4. Pitcher Doheny was
knocked out OF the box and the st. Louis

The fun began in the first inning and by
the end OF the third the game was prac-

when the game opened. He waited patiently
and was rewarded by base on balls.
