PREPARING ron A BIG CROP.

According to statements in the county
papers in many parts OF che state the
farmers are buying more literally OF
mules and fertilizers this year than in
any previous year in a long time. 1t is
a safe assumption that farmers in other
cotton states are doing just what the far
mers in this state are, in respect to mules
and fertilizers.
Evidently 1t is the purpose of each
farmer to grow as much cotton this year
as he possibly can. That is the meaning
of the increase in the purchases OF mules
and fertilizers But are not the farmers
making a mistake? There is no double
good profit in cotton at ten cents or even
nine cents a pound, but what guarantee
is there that cotton will be as high next
year as it is this? There is absolutely
none.
The main reason cotton is nine and
half to ten cents pound this year is
that the crop for the season of 1899 1880
and that for 19O0-l9Ol were. comparatively
small Had there been a big crop this
season it is doubtful If the price would
the last two crops had been large ones
1t is a safe statement that the price
would not have been more than six cents
a pound, II so much. There is not much
USE however, to give farmers advice in
this matter 1t is impossible for them to
act together. Each one acting as he
thinks his best interests require, it is
almost certain that the acreage this year
will be phenomenally large. Should the
season be a favorable one the crop will
be so large that the price will drop so
low that there will be no profit in cotton.
1t would be so much better for the
farmers and for the South If the crop
could be kept at about what it is this
meet the Increased demand for cotton
goods at prevailing prices. A compare
tive small crop brings considerable more
money than a large one. No doubt many
farmers have gone into debt for fertiliz-
ers and mules. If the price of cotton
be serious trouble in the South. Farmers
would have difficulty In meeting their
debts and credit for the following year
would NOT be easy to get. 1t would be
keep down the acreage and to give more
attention to stock, grain and fruit. Then
If the price of cotton should be low they
would still be able to live well without
mortgaging the future

BRUNswIcK's CONVENTION.

1t begins to look as If the only matter
of real interest that W Il come before the
maritime convention that is called to
meet at Brunswick tomorrow is whether
or not Hanna's ship-subsidy bill shall be
Endorsed.
1t is evident from what has already
taken place that there will be a strong
effort made to have the convention in
dorse that bill. The resolutions introduc d
at the board of trade meeting in this city
yesterday. as instructions to the Savan-
nah delegates to the convention, wifi Q
not directly an indorsemc mt CT the sh p
subsidy bill, amount to that.
= There will be many delegates at the
convention who really favor that bill or
the principle Involved IN 1t, and delegates
will be there for the express purpose of
giving that bill a boost. II would be a
point in Mr. Hanna's favor to have the
bill Endorsed by a convention called by
Gov Gambler. It has been ated a num-
Der of times that Senator Clay is the lead
er of the oppos ton to the bi / in the
Senate 1t would tie the Senator's hands,
as 1t were, to have a convent on In his
own state, called by Georgia's Governor,
indorse the bill, and not Ing would please
Senator Hanna and his friends more than
to have the ship-subsdy bill 50 Endorsed.
OF course Gov. Can Ter is agai- st the
bill, and his friends in the convention will
do all they can to defeat anything that
looks like an Endorsement of it, Still, It
would not be at all surprising If the prin-
ciple of subsidies in aid of the upbuildi9g
of the merchant marine were Endorsed by
the convention. A resolution containing
an Endorsement of that kind would be
welcomed by those who are behind the
ship-subsidy bin, even If an Endorsement
of the bill itself were refused.

People no doubt have often wondered
whether a judge did not suffer a part of
the anguish borne by prisoner when be-
ing sentenced for crime, says the Kansas
City. Journal. The other day, at Fort
Scott, Judge Simons sent enced a young
fellow to ten years at hard labor in the
peuitentiary. The lad had been found
guilty of highway robbery, having held
up companion and robbed him of an
old watch and a few cents. The next
morning Judge Simons came into court
looking weary and pale He said he had
aid awake for several hours during the
night debating with himself over the
question of whether or not this sentence
was too severe. He then sent for the
prisoner, revoked the sentence of the day
before and consigned the lad to the re-
form school,
There has been in China, says the
Congregationalist, no finer exhibition of
missionary heroism and conservation in
the midst of ancient or modern persecu-
lions than that displayed by Horace Pit
kin, one of the Pao-Ting-Fu martyrs, the
story of whose message to his little son
is told by DR.. Goodrich. Think of that
talented, cultured, heroic young man, as
he was consciously nearing his own aw
full end, sending this word to his baby
boy in America, who only a few short
months before had been given to glad
den the pareptal heart. Tell him /

What a conception that sentence reveals
Of the worth of human souls, even the
most degraded and benighted, and of the
grandeur of the missionary enterprise! 1t
makes US proud of our race that it can
produce such a kingly soul.

The "fakir," discerning a new scheme,
lost no time in going down town and
bought twenty-five watches. He then
took them home and polished them up so
nice that it would be impossible without
testing to distinguish them from good sill

a train for a small town down in Illinois
and had the following advertisement in
serted in the country paper:

questions asked.
The next day all the country "fakirs'
for miles around called, one at a time, on

MIXED-UP BRIDES.

II anyone thinks we have grown out
of the age of romance and riddles, such
person has only to watch the news
columns of the daily papers to discover
that the thought is an error. The New
York Mail and Express, for instance,
regales us with the story of a Bing.
hamton wedding of recent occurrence
which contains the elements of both ro-
nance and riddle. 1t is indeed, worthy
of comic opera treatment, by a genius
no less brilliant than that which evolved
the famous Little Buttercup," who
mixed the babies up.
Notwithstanding the air of improba-
biIity about ii, the narrative is worth
repeating. There were, it appears, twin
sisters as like each other as two peas
in a pod. They were pretty girls, and
had lovers in abundance. So great was
their similarity, even in matters of mind
and heart, that both fell in love with
the same man. BY hook or crook one
sister persuaded the other to forego her
claims upon the object of their mutual
alteration, and to accept the proposal of
marriage made by another man. At this
point, it would appear If the story is to
hold together consistently, the disap-
pointed twin began to plot. She arranged
that there should be double wedding
Both brides were to be dressed Identical
ly alike, to carry similar bouquets-in
short, each was to be a duplicate of the
other
Even before, their beaus had expert
enced difficulty in distinguishing between
them, but when they were dressed for
the ceremony not even their parents
could tell which was which. Two por-
traits from the same negative could
not have been more alike. When the
couples stood up before the minister, 1t
is alleged, the two girls changed places,
"just for fun and to puzzle the wit
nesses. And therein is the point of the
story. The girl who had relinquished
her first choice in favor of her sister
claims that the declaration of the parson
which united each couple indissolubly
was made without the brides resuming
their original positions; that as a matter
man to whom her sister was engaged,
and vice versa. her sister denied this
and asserted that the change had been
made, and that she had been married to
the man of her choice. And not one OF
the witnesses or the minister could say
which was right.
Unfortunately the story from Bingham
ton leaves us in suspense right at that
point. 1t does not say what the sequel
was, or how the matter was straighten-
ed out, II 1t was at all. 1t may be as
sumed that it did not make a great deal
OF difference to the young men which Of
che girls each got since they were dupl-
Gates, except perhaps that the bride
groom over whom they did not disagree
might have felt some jealousy towards
the other fellow, which ever one of them
fell to his lot. At all events one of the
brides is under suspicion of having played
a smart trick to steal her sisters in
tended husband. Whether she succeeded
or not has not been made known by
the veracious chronicler.
