Not Negative.
The south is fl .oded with advice
that will not be needed. 1i,e advice
is good enough in its way, although
il ia pot as . rula pitches Il s.iierIgi:
tiue. Instead OF telling la, iarmer

told to plant a suffi :ien.y of fotu
crops, and then to plant all tle cot
toa they can cultivate and pick out,
no matter whether they Inc ease tie
cotton acreage or not.
But the truth is, the farmers them
selves know a thing Or tive, and the,
are not waiting for advice from any :
one before they pitch theii uwncrop-.
They know as much about consump-
ton and the general situation as tn ir
self-constituted advisers know, and
they have no axe to grin in the form
of a salary. Each farmer will plant
as his Individual circumstances die

change his determination.
There is not this yer any danger
of too much cotton ifeach farmer will

farm supplies are largely included in
the two items. The farmer who plant
enough corn will naturally make his
own meat. The probe n, the, efore,
is reduc I'd to a seIf-slstaining crop.
Alabama has grown her own corn,
and she can do it again. If her far.

A state in the south that grows its

Give, and amid myrids Of beautiful
lights of various colors, the immense
hrong, numbering between five and
six hundred, were comfortably seated
around the tables, in picnic style, |
the tables numbering sevenand about
I25 feet in length, heavilylladen, ev-
erything good, and a superb string
band to furnish music while we salts
fed the inner man, and the beautiful

the speakers to flights of eloquence.

was RECALLED with a speech from some

delivered by Mr.. g. p. Dickinson, OF
Contentnea Lodge No. 81, Wilson,
and indeed did he in truth make
every one feel q thousand times well

DIR. Harper, of Kinston, who spoke
for Mr.. J.. l.. Fleming, of Greenville,
who was detained at home by sick
ness. DIR. Harper made a very favor
able impression and is a pleasing
speaker.
The principal address Of the even
ing was delivered by Grand Chan
cellor A. s. Barnard, of Asheville,
who as an orator has few equals. His
address last night was clothed in
beautiful language and was a gem
of deepest thought.
The next and last number on the
programme was "Our Wives and

talented young Mayor, Mr.. Geo. =.
Hood. AS soon as the nameOf Hood
was mentioned, he received an out

magnificent address, which was well
received, short but to the point, and
full of humorous saying.
