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” ’!• G■’ N . ; i of Jatiu- ■■ i of letters .1' >i : i to reduce >' the follow- j' , ibyß. R. 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 of th- \\ indy City to grind the city water before using it. 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 ceive the least pay, notes Die New Orleans States. 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. The Atlanta Journal vouches for the Macon Telegraph's Democracy. Whew! TO A BOUQUET OF VIOLETS. Lovely token! Would the woods that Now are spoken, Could be heard by Her. by whom thy Little slender Stems were broken. Noble feelings. Caused by thy Sweet rev.-fllinvs. Creep into my - ’ Heart most stealthy: And would fain now Break their sealings. Cupid, dost thou Linger in these Flowers, just now.

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.

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.

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. sO ari. 5 •'JL‘.
