that section in the pretense of en-
forcing law and order.
1t is said that these three counties
today, lack at least so per cent of the
labor necessary to properly till the soil
and raise the ordinary crops. to say
nothing of the increase that farmers
there would be glad to get if it were
possible to secure the necessary farm
hands. 1t will be an expensive lesson
to the white population in these
counties, and will cost its planters
thousands and thousands of dollars,
but which will probably be more
effectual in awaking them to the just
of the Importance OF
civilized methods of dealing with the
colored population, than any possible
amount of advice of criticism about
domination that might be offered by
TIE outside world.

This Years Cotton Crop.

There seems to be no question but
what the splendid prices and the re-
sulting prosperity secured by the cot
ton raisers in the South, during the
past year, has stimulated the planting
Of this staple TO an extent never before
known in the history of this country.
The Atlanta Constitution. in a recent
issue, earnestly advises a planting
acreage this spring that will permit of
100000 bales, and it thoroughly be-
lieves that no possible slump could fol-
low a crop Of such magnitude, mas
much ac it is satisfied that the market
conditions throughout the world, dur
even greater yield.
1t is doubtful, however, whether this
advice is wise or not. About seven
years ago. the largest consumption of
cotton. in the empires of the world ir
any single year, was estimated to be
11.SS0,000 bales. Last year the esti-
mated consumption was 14,339, 600, an
increase of about 100000 bales in the
worlds consumption of cotton goods.
~ increased consumption was due, to
Il small extent, to abnormal conditions.
and it is not to be supposed that
should the South follow the advice of
the Atlanta Constitution and produce
12,G00,000 bales of cotton this year, that
i. could with any just reason expect SO
large 4 consumption of this product,
as occurred last year.
A number of things will operate to
product. First will b." the large in
crease of cotton raising in other sec
tionS of the world. 1t is known that
ut the present time, being stimulated
by the present demand for cotton, that
it has long been a dream of Europe to
cut loose from its dependencies from
American cotton, and English manu-
f;icturcrs have given attention to this
product in various parts of the big
British empire. with constantly in
creas:ns results. There are many OBJ
servers Of the situation who believe
that the crop OF cotton raised outside
the United States this year will be
considerably more than double that
raised during AIRY previous year in the
worlds history. Again the high price
Of cotton must necessarily diminish
the demand for the goods manufac-
turcd from it. This will ne especially
Increased price Of manufactured goods
must necessarily follow upon the i'll
creased price of raw material and will
be almost prohibitive. What then will
be the result. il the farmers Of the
South follow the advice of such papers
as the Atlanta Constitution and raise
1"OD,OO0 bales of cotton this year, an
amount which there is every reason to
believe will be in excess of the total
certainly Will not be surprising if
some of the sanguine cotton raisers
should learn the important lesson that
high prices are dearly. bought, since
they are secured ut the price of a
largely decreased consumption OH the
part OF the public.

What Allied Him.

Haven't heard about the fright
Deacon Thrasher gave US all
At the Soci;tble last night?
Just fell back against the WALL
First grew white and then grew red.
Dropped his spoon and oySterbowl
With a smash to wake the dead.
Couldn't speak to save his soul.
Well. it did look queer. you know,
All at once to lost his wits,
Every tongue was on the go;
Some thought cider, some thought fits.
But the story soon got round
Didn't blame him when we knew
That the deacon just had found
Two whole oysters in his stew.
