Restricting the Acreage.

The action of the southern cotton producers within the next thirty days will fix the price of their sta pie for next season. If the present contemplated increase ill acreage is planted, followed by favorable sea sons during the period of growth and fruiting, an enormous crop will be harvested and low prices will prevail. The most powerful wea- pon which the producers can put in the hands of their opponents at this time is to increase the cotton acreage of co. With the general knowledge of the situation, which during the past two months has been given wide circulation through the agricultural press of the coun- try, an increase i'll the cotton acre age will reflect a sad commentary upon the business ability of south ern cotton producers. Concert of action on the part of producers at the time of planting will be far more effective iii regulating the supply to meet the legitimate de- mand than during the period of harvesting and selling.
 There is but one feasible solution of the whole problem which con fronts us at this time. The indi vidual action of the producers must be secured toward restricting their cotton acreage for the present year. Each man must be made to feel the responsibility which rests upon him, and that he is an important factor i'll the movement. There must be lessening of the intense fascination for the production of cotton, and more attention given to the daily demands of the farm from self-sustaining standpoint.
 The southern farmer who persis- tently patronizes the corn fields and packing houses of the west may rest assured that the purchasers of his cotton will fix the price to suit themselves. As a plain, simple business proposition it could not be otherwise. With an abundance of home supplies raised annually, and the cotton acreage reducing the supply of the raw material to meet only the annual demand of the spinners for American cotton, the producers will not only grow inde- pendent, but soon place themselves in a position to price their staple upon fair and legitimate basis of its true value.
 Every farmer who plants cotton is vitallyssinterested in this matter, and should attend this meeting on the date called in his State. If the result of these meetings by the far mers soon to be held is felt in a re- duction of present anticipated acre age, the price for the next season will be regulated on profitable basis to producer.

The Old and the New Council.

The old town council ended its existence last Tuesday night and the new one was duly installed. The old one had a number of ac- counts to allow amounting to S226. The outgoing mayor, w. w. Mar tin, remarked that the town treasu- " was in better condition at the end of this term than 1t had been at the close of any year since he had been mayor. The treasurer's s report showed more than S4oo to the credit of the city. Mayor Mar tin has been particularly interested in getting Tagging sidewalks laid from the central portion of town to Hendrix and Central colleges and to the public school. This has been nearly accomplished. There is a sidewalk all the way to Central college, to the public school and all the way to Hendrix except a small gap, which has been arrang- ed for and will be put down in a few days.
 The old council adjourned sine die and County Judge w. H. Dun can administered the oath of office to Col. E. A. Bolton, mayor-elect, w. H. Martin, recorder and w. w. Martin, Dr. G. D. Dickerson, D. l.. Young, Sam Frauenthal, w. D. Cole, IT,, aldermen.
 The election of other officers by the council resulted i'll the selec- ton of J. A. Pence as treasurer for the year and J. M. Rotten as mar shal for one month. For some time the council has made 1t a rule to elect marshal for only one month.
 The mayor declared his policy on the hog question and instructed the marshal to begin the work of putting up the hogs as soon as pos sible. He further instructed him to bring the owner of the hogs be- fore him upon the second impound- ing and stated he would place a fine of five dollars upon him. It is plain that the hogs are running the streets and the mayor has deter mined to stop 1t. It is an injustice to tax the people to make streets, sidewalks and ditches and have them ruined immediately by hogs.
