SOME PRACTICAL. ADVICE.
Non. J. Ashm0re Hinton Writes Enthu.
sIastlcalIY Of Cotton Associa-
tion-Diversiiy is

niS AuViCG.
Mr.. Editor ns was a
delegate to the Southern Cotton as.
sociation at New Orleans. hy request,
l take this method of letting the peo
pie OF Pickens county hear from me
believe beyond doubt the 1850
citation has accomplished great good
though it il but one year since it
held its first meeting and should it
go on along the same lines and ad.
vancing the same great principles es
it has heretofore, it will only be a
short time until they will accomplish
the noble pnrpnse for which they
started in the outset relieve the
depressed condition of the south.
l never saw moro determined
body OF representatives nor more
enthusiasm manifested to carry out
tho policy and principles outlined by
tho different committees on their re-
ports.
The farmer is the signboard by
which every other business is guided
and when there are any obstructions
thrown in the way to hin ler his pro
gross then all otbor avocations must
come 70 q standstill. The people Of
the South are beginning to realize
that something must bs done for
their protection, and to organize the
farmers, merchants, bankers and law.
yers into one great body, 80 that the
interest OF one is identical with the
other they will accomplish much in
the future.
The southern farmers have been
ground down 10y oppression until
they are forced to rebel and make
their demands and stand by them;
to divers fly and rotate the crops Of
the South and in this way fiud relief
Diversifcation and rotation will
have great deal to do toward re
lievins the present situa,ion,for when
We diversity wo raise moro of the
things needed for home consumption
on the farm and consequently less
cotton. BY raising mole corn, wheat,
oats, hay etc. wo are prepared to
raise more stock and to improve our
lnnds which will he a great move for
the South, saving aeyera!, thousand
dollars each year in mules. II we
southern farmers would place our
selves on the back Of a homeraised
mule ank use as weapon tho ham
bono Of homersised hog we worll
be in position to bring the enemy
down; wo would not have to sell our
cotton to meet our supply bills and
could hold for the rise.
Now the association fixed the price
of the remainder of the cotton crop
at Is cents. There is one and one.
half million ba 'es yct to sell accord
ing to tho best Information attaina
able. I believe that they should
have Is cents for The remaining part;
they havo never failed to get what
they asked until now; the falling off
in price at present, I think, is to ig
more the action of tho association; for
it will bo r mombered when they met
ut Ashoyille and fixed a minimum
price Of IL cents the speculators went
to hamtnering away anl got the
pric" below 10 cents, bat it soon
went up to IL cents. I want to say
to the holders Of spot cotton, keep
your nerve and don't get scared and
sell as some did last Spring when it
went to aeyen cents and in o short
tine it went above 10 cents. I be.
lieve it will do the same thing again

NAV Contest Du Points Seat.

II is reported that the Democratic
Party will contest the seating of Col.
Henry A. du Pont in the United States
Senate and that Willard Salisbury
chairman of the Democratic State Cen
trail Committee, has about completed
preparing the papers in the matter.
The contest. it is said, will be based
on the claim that in the election, at
which the members of the Legislature
who afterward elected Colonel du Pont,
were chosen, the Republican party
used $53. 900 or more for the purpose of
purchasing votes for the Republican
ticket. There will be some other de-
tails, but this is the main contention.
II is also stated that charges of fraud
at the special session of the Legislature
will be made. Mr.. Salisbury prac-
ticaly admitted that there was truth
in the report, but declined to discuss
the matter.
