Latham, Alexander & Co.
The News recently published Latham,
Elaxander & Co’s letter on the cotton acre
age of IX9B, in which they invited the ®t
•un'tion of merchants and planters bo the
enormous losses sustained by the South,
on account of excessive cotton crops, and
suggest* d a r duction in cotton acreage
and diversifli ation of crops as the most ef
fective remedy.
The press of the South very generally
printed their letter, and from the many
communications received, it is the opinion
that if this subject were properly put be
fore the plant rs, they would cheerfully
reduce the cutton acreage this year, in
order that remunerative prices might bo
secured for the next crop.
Ju another letter just received by The
News Latham, Alexander & Co. say:
"Under the head of "crop diversification”

J>acy & Co., Houston, Texas:
"The planters must diversify their crops
and plant less cotton or our beautiful land,
with the most productive soil on earth,
will reduce 'to pauperism, want and misery
't se who have the power in their hands
to mould their destiny.
"They claim that unless the tenant and
average farmer will agree to plant a cer
tain amount of ‘cotton acreage' the mer
chant cannot and will not supply his
wants. We have seen considerable Texas
rUe, and state, without hesitation, that the
fiverage Texas farmer lives poorer than any
other. The land he tills w ill produce equal
•to any in the world, and if thrifty he could
within a -short time make himself alto
. get tier iifriepcndeivt of the merchant. In
’ 1?. ’■‘fcfe 1 : i; ’ ■ !•'.« we-ill ha-.<
most plantations the luxury of the
garden Is Ignored. Luxuriant grasses,
ready for hay about the time cotton pick
Ing commences, are neglected, allowed
waste, instead of housing, becaus U n ■
and labor must ' Ivor ,o cotton. <hi
the ope- - he must buy pro-
V' * wo: : g an ni.i'- Those
nan Europe or
our land would con
'sariees of life and health are
elected—-certainly not from Ignorance,
for you seldom see a grown man or wo
man that cannot read and write.
"Note the following facts and ponder
over them:
"The planter has not raised the oom or
wheat to provide his own house with
bread.
“He has not raised the horses or mules
required to keep up his farm.
“'He has not raised the cows and hogs to
supply butter, milk and meat for his own
table use.
"He has not raised tobacco, potatoes,
peanuts, or sugar ; ane oi sorghum to
make sugar and syrup for home consump
tion.
"He has not raised even a few chickens
and turkeys to have eggs, and on some
special occasion u good fowl for dinner.
"He has not rais'd any of the many
vegetables—cabbage, turnips, lettuce, to
matoes, cucumbers, squash, etc., so nutri
tious and easily cultivated in this climate
and soil.
“He has not raised any melons, but lie
knows the luxury of one on a hat day, taken
from a well or spring, upon coming from
hard work in cultivating the one and all
important cotton crop,
"lie has not raised any apples, p a ars.
peaches. plum?, apricots, figs or grapes- -
any of these he could raise, if he would.
"But, the l.<?d of the 'arm by prefer
ence takes his team, drives to town and
buys from his merchant all the various ne
cessities—also butter, cheese, lard, coffee,
tobacco, eggs, peanuts, sugar, cabbage,
turnips, melons, candy, a jug of syrup, a
sack of corn and a bale of hay. Anything
bis merchant has not in stock he must
do without, or the merchant must send out
and get it for him. Still, he seems blind
•to his own welfare and continues to plant
cotton, let the price be what it may.
“America produces about three-fourths
of all the cotton grown in the world and
no other country can take precedanee. The
very low prices existing now for cotton are
not of special benefit to any one. On ac
count of over-production the planter must
sell his product at a price below its cost to
produce. The merchant must take it in
payment of the planter's account and do
Jiis utmost to clear himself on a close mar
gin. if at all. The buyer must seek the
by cable and telegraph, meeting
competition for any outlet for it, often
simply swapping dollars to make sales and
relieve himself and bankers of the load.
“The manufacturer, learning from expe
rience, buys close and is willing some one
else should carry the cotton, since it
saves interest and risk, and because the
contracts he can make for his goods are
scaled to the closest point, and his capital
is necessarily employed in the manufact
ure of goods he must carry, because of the
over-production. Hence, the enormous
crop, besides entailing heavy losses to the
farmers, is a disadvantage, and the entire
responsibility lies with the farmer. The
balance of the power is his. To success or
ruin all must follow him.
“With such experience and actual facts
the farmer should be willing to call a halt,
use some judgment, diversify his planting,
and next fall the result will already begin
to show such a wave of prosperity for this
land of the South, that every man reduc
ing his acreage in cotton 25 per cent, or
more, would feel that he had been instru
mental, in part, in bringing it about; that
it was the turning point of success in his
farming life and be had lived to learn and
be convinced that something was better
than all cotton."
A government official reports that of
those who have gone to Alaska within the
last year only 7 per cent, have been able
to earn a living.
A Short-Sighted Policy.
The fanners in the vicinity of Ty Ty
have formed an anti-guano club and are
religiously boycotting that fragrant com
modity. The first carload received there
this season stands on the railroad track
in pungent neglect.
There ia one good feature about thia;
it will lessen the yield of cotton. But
wouldn't it be more sensible for our farm
ers to use guano intelligently, and thereby
make its use profitable, besides restoring
the worn-out fields of Georgia to a state
of fertility. ■Commercial fertilizers have
been the salvation of the South, and, where
intelligently used, never fall to prove the
beat investment that a farmer can make.
Time was when Southern planters owned
enough land to let whole fields lie idle
long enough to recuperate, but since the
old plantations have been divided up into
small farms it is necessary that the land
be kept in constant use, and the only
way to accomplish this without wearing
out the soil is through the intelligent ap
plication of commercial fertilizers—sup
plemented, of course, by all the home
made manure that can be secured. If
■ outhern farmers would do more work
xith their heads, if they would study ag
. icultural literature and experiment sta
tion reports (all of which strongly advise
the intelligent use of commercial fertili
zers) they would soon become as inde
pendent and prosperous as the best class
of Northern and Western farmers.
The Chicago News andvises the people

Is It Unconstitutional?
It is barely possible that the anti
lynching laves which have bte-n passed by
several state legislatures may be declared
unconstitutional. At hast it may be so
hi Id as regards those laws which provide
a penalty for those counties in which
lynchings occur.
It will be remembered that something
more than a year ago a negro man was
hanged by a mob at Urbana, Ohio, for
criminal assault upon a white woman. The
legislature of the state met a short time
after the occurrence and passed an anti
lynching law, the statute requiring a
county to pay $5,000 to the legal represen
tative of any person lynched therein. The
law, however, has been condemned by
Judge Dustin, of the common pleas court,
it rbana. in a carefully prepared opin
.'■ii, Judge Dustin declares that the act is
mi' nstitutioual "for the reason that it is
in encroachment of the legislative, upon
he judicial branch of, the government,
and by its terms necessarily deprives the
d fendants of the right of trial of disputed
*■•' ~s by a jury, and subjects them to the
loss of property without due course of
law.” The case is to be appealed to the
St. • supreme court, but the consensus of
opinion among the legal fraternity of Ur
na is that the decision, of Judge Dustin,
who ranks as a very able jurist, will not
■e reversed.
It is a universally conceded proposition
that those employes, and especially rail
road employes, who do the most work re

The Curse of Trusts.
Robert Ramsay, president of the Balti
more chamber of commerce, in his annual
report to that body the other day, paid his
compliments to the Leiter wheat ring in
the following language:
“The mills of the gods grind slowly and
sure, and as sure as the sun shines some
remedial legislation must be enacted
sooner or later, that will forever rid us of
the curse of cliques and corners. The
common footpad is honest compared to the
man who, already possessed of more than
his own share of the world’s goods, seeks
to create a situation that brings ruin and
disaster on his fellow men. The former
holds you tip because he is in need; the
latter paralyses and s'tops the course of
legitimate business only because of a mis
erable and contcmtible desire to possess
himself suddenly of the substance of his
neighbor. It is the lust of the vampire.”
The March Standard Designer is a most
pleasant feature of a most disagreeable
month. Its bright and interesting pages
with the clever pictures are calculated
to nt to e-u the despondent forget the
cl"'.: ly skies ,u,.! bleak winds that are no v
our common lot. Among its fashion eon
i<nts may be mentioned four handsome
• lor plates, nine artistic half-tones, and
. enty-cight. other stylish illustrations
of garments suitable and seasonable for
ladles’, misses’ and little folks’ wear.
Some of the literary articles that deserve
especial mention are “The Arts of Beau
ty,” "In the Sick Room." “For the Busi
ness Woman,” and the suggestions and
hints on Fancy Work, Floriculture, Bicy
cling, Etiquette and the Household. A
continued story, a comedy, two short
stories and two poems afford plenty of
reading matter for all members of the
family.
Senator Tillman in. discussing (Hawaiian
annexation yesterday pointed out the in
consistency of the Republican party in
aiding to establish a white man’s govern
ment imHawail in connection with the re
cent revolution in those islands and op
posing a white man’s government in the
South soon after the war. He declared
that if the Republicans had changed their
opinions on the subject of the right of the
white man to rule and would extend it to
the Southern states he would vote for the
treaty.
Says the Newnan Herald and Advertiser:
“Hon. O. B. Stevens, of Terrell, made
formal announcement last Saturday of his
candidacy for the office of Commissioner
of Agriculture, and we understand that he
will begin at once an active campaign.
He is one of the .best men in the state —a
practical farmer, a loyal Democrat, and a
most worthy and estimable citizen. He
would honor the office to which he aspires,
and his administration of the affairs of
the department would do credit to the
sate.”
According to a New York World dis
patch, it has been determined by the Re
publican leaders in the House that the
McKinley administration shall not be per
mitted to monkey with the currency at
this session. The reasons are given that
neither the Gage bill nor the Indianapolis
currency commission bill could become
law, and their discussion would reveal to
the country the inability of the Republi
cans to agree on any measure as to paper
currency.
The United States produces more cot
ton, wheat, corn. hogs, butter, silver, gold,
copper, iron, copper. lead, zinc than any
other nation in the world, and some of
each are exported. It also produces nearly
as many cattle and sheep. In that, it can
clothe and feed all its citizens and have
a large surplus, say from four to six
hundred million dollars this year for ex
port. It is fair to say that the United
States has the greatest amount of natural
resources of any country in the world.
In discussing the immigration bill an
exchange forcibly says: Protection to
labor cannot be brought about through
stoppage of immigration alone. That is
not the underlying cause of labor’s
troubles. The cause lies deeper, and until
labor gets at the root of the trouble, by
using its manhood franchise more intelli
gently and unitedly than in the past to
eradicate it, no change for the better will
be had.
An exchange thinks that it may be that
Senatorial courtesy will save the Ha
waiian annexation scheme. Dole’s whis
kers may remind the Senators so much of
Peffer’s that they will not have the heart
to deny him what he asks.
The Savannah News is looking out for
a “surprise” for Candler, in the shape of
a successful competitor. The News will
never learn anything about Georgia poli
tics, declares the Sparta Ishmaelite. It
cannot see a copdition when looking at it.
The Rome Tribune remarks that Cand
ler Clubs are trumps just now.
The mortality among Washington’s
body servants has about ceased, but Lin
coln’s playmates are dying by the hun
dred in all parts of the country, notes the
Louisville Post.
There are plenty of original Candler
men, but it seems difficult to convict any
one of being the original Spencer R. At
kinson man.
The only reason yet assigned why Allen
A. Candler should not be elected governor
of Georgia is that it is too unanimous.

AT THE GRAVESIDE.
Vengeance on Murderer Storms Was De
manded.
Burlington, la., Feb. 7.—A remarkable
scene was enacted in Burlington yesterday
afternoon at the funeral of Mrs. Rathburn
and her daughter, who were murdered by
A. D. Storms. Three thousand people had
congregated, and women sobbed aloud all
during the services. When the caskets
were placed in the hearses a low growl of
voices were heard denouncing the men
about them as cowards for not at once
taking the law into their own hands and
avenging th" murder.
At the grave many eyes were wet with
tears as the coffins were lowered into the
and again the cry for vengeance arose.
While the bodies were lying in state the
coffins were buried in heaps of flowers. Al
though matters looked serious for a while,
no trouble arose and it is not believed
that the progress of the law will be inter
ferred with.

The Reasons of !t
It is not by accident or by chance that
the Ivers & Pond piano is held in such
high esteem. There is a good reason for it.
The New England Conservatory of Music
did not hapen to buy 227 Ivers & Pond
pianos in preference to other makes.
There is a reason for it. It was not merely
good luck that led nearly two hundred of
the most prominent musical and educa
tional institutions in the country to se
lect the Ivers & Pond. It was the result
of careful investigation and sound rea
son.
There are good sound reason why you
should decide upon an Ivers & Pond if
you are going to buy a piano. The reputa
tion of the makers for liberal and fair
dealing is your safeguard. The important
patented improvements found in no other
piano is another reason for deciding in
its favor. But it is the watchful and pains
taking care that follows every piano from
start to finish, and the conscientious and
intelligent attention given to even the
smallest details of construction that is the
reason why the Ivers & Pond Piano can
be depended upon to give the best results
and the best wear.

Silverites Think That Carter Harrison Is
Croker's Man.
Chicago, Feb. 7. —The Times-Herold’s
Washington correspondent says:
•'Has Richard Croker offered the sup
port of the entire Northeast to Mayor Car
ter H. Harrison of Chicago as a candidate
for the presidency in the next presidential
campaign, in return for a promise of mod
ifications in the Chicago platform?"
A.t any rate Chicago silver leaders put
so much faith in the reality of the scheme
that they are holding daily meetings and
straining every nerve to checkmate it, and
align their parties on the Chicago plat
form.
Mr. Croker is said to claim that he can
throw 137 votes from New England, New
York, New Jersey and Maryland to any
candidate who promises to be strong
enough to down Bryan. He believes that
Harrison should be able to carry his own
state, with foriy-eight votes, and with
these the mayor would .have a strong nu
cleus with which to go into the fight.
