numbered $4,000, with scant supplies,
and it was only the presence Of the
newly arrived Japanese and Russian

Increase in Cotton Acreage.

New ORLEANS, June 1.-The Times
Democrat prints to-day cotton crop re-
ports from about $50 special corrcSpon-
dents throughout tho cotton belt. In
some places there is no increase, but
these are exceptional. Correspondents
generally report from ) to 10 or ID per
cent. increase in the acreage, and in
somc cases as high as 20 per cent. Ash
ton Phelps, taking tho reports, figures
out lS per cent. increase in acreage for
the whole belt.
The Southeastern States appear to
have tho best season, though the nights
arc cool, rctarding development. The
use of commercial fertilizers has been
very largo in this belt, compared with
last year, but increase in the acreage
has not been so large as the increased
sale Of fertilizers would seem to Indicate
month ago.
There has been Il very general com
plant of scarcity of labor. This con
diton, which is especially marked in
the Southeastern States, explains in part
tho heavy increase Of fertilization. TO a
lesser cxtent Alabama and Mississippi
have also suffered from lack Of hands
the negroes being attracted to lumber
camps and mills by high wages the mills
have offered.

A CONFEDERATE HOME.
An Oconce Gentleman Offers 10 Subscribe
$500 Towards the Object

WEST UNION, S. c., juno 4, 1900 -
Editors Of TnE COURIER see iii The
State an oilor by some one to donate five
hundred dollars for the establishment
of $4,000 Confederate home. While
this is a very worthy and commondablc
purpose, think tho following much
better plan:
lst. Let each county raise, say $4,000,
and with this sum buy one OF two good
farms in tho counties raising the money,
and dot these farms over with neat cot
tagos, and allow each ono house and
say fifteen or twenty acres of good land
rs a homo free Of rent for life, and let
tho qualification for a home be: That tho
applicant must be q MANNED Confederate
soldier or widow; that he owns no land,
and that he or she is not able to buy Il
homo. A nice home of this kind and the
small pension they receive and what they
could make on this place each county
ought to provide in this way to make at
least forty of the most worthy and diSa-
blcd spend their remaining days in com
pal ativc ease. Say each county would
provide for forty and forty times forty
would be about sixteen hundred of them
could be taken OF of rented land aud
placed into homes of their own for life,
and the State would he no poorer by
such u charitable course. mean for
cvery dollar to DC raised by private sub
scription, and whom tho last one Of these
noble old veterans shall have crossed
over the river and arc resting under the
shade, then let these homes be sold and
the money returned to the heirs of the
donors, and in this way it will only be a
loan for life without interest. Let us
start a home, if on Il small scale, in
Oconcc, and some big hearted physician
will do the practice gratis, and some big
hearted merchant will sell them goods ut
cost. An old crippled Confederate sol
dicr, without money or home is almost
sure to be without friends, and seem to
be looked on as simply unfortunate
without ray of hope for Il brighter day
I'd. The writer Of this will give 500
to start a $4,000 home in Oconcc, or the
Samo in proportion for a smaller home.
Como, lot us rally around the men who
carried the flag, although that tlag be no
more. OI.D CoNFED.

Combines Have Been Robbing the Government

WA IIVGToN June AT the same
hour llama and Elkins, the leaders of the
Republican party, and their associates
were busy in the Senate defending tho
armor plate trust, another trust which
has dealings with the government was
demonstrating tho whole trust question
by its own collapse. This is the pro-
jcctilc trust which has been furnishing
tho projcctilcs to tho navy. Some time
ago the four different firms which have
been bidding for this business submitted
propositions on the different shells, but
these propositions were rejected and
new bids were called for. In tho mean
time the firms whose bids had been idcn-
tical heretofore got into disagreement
and the result was practical dcmonstra-
tion of what they have succeeded in got
ting from tho government in the past.
For instance the former bid on twelve
inch armor piercing shell has been three
hundred and ten dollars. To-day tho
low bid, which was that Of the Carpcn-
ter Steel Company, was one hundred and
forty four dollars and scvcnty-ivo cents.
The former rate on tho twclvcinch com
mon shells was one hundred and ninety
five dollars, while the low bid to-day
made by the Midvalc people is clshty-
five dollars. The same proportion is
shown throughout the schedule.
