COST OP RAISING COTTON.
The question. What Is the cost of
producing a pound of cotton? Is one
that has been mooted In the South
for many years, and various answers
have been, and will continue to l)e,
given to It, but the best thing that we
have seen on the subject Is from Gqn.
M. C. Butler, of South Carolina. Wel
ting to the Manufacturers’ Record,
General Butler sayB:
“I am frequently- asked: ‘What Is
the cost of making a pound of cotton?’
My reply Is: ‘You may aa well ask
bow long Is a string or how large is: a
piece of chalk. If you will make all
the supplies,on your farm to feed - your
family, laborers, and animals, you can
produce cotton at six cents a pound,
and all above that Is profit. But If
you mortgage yourself, farm, animals,
and all your worldly possessions to
borrow money to buy your food and
fertilizers, It will cost, you eight cents
per pound more.’ Too many of us
follow the latter course, and we can
never come to our own until ke aban.
don It. I have always felt more anx
ious about the acreage In food prod
ucts than the acreage In cotton. If
you will plant acreage enough to make
an ample provision, crop, the cotton
acreage will settle Itself. With food
enough to supply a farmer for a year,
tho cotton he may make over and
above that will furnish the best money
crop In the agricultural world. A
bale of cotton Is almoBt as imperish
able and Indestruotlble as a United
States bond, and when offered for sale
It will command the cash In gold at
any time—one, two, five, or twenty
years after It has been ginned and
baled.”
General Butler leaves nothing to be
Bald in the way of argument to prove
that the man who raises his own food
supplies for both man and beast on
the farm can produce cotton much
oheaper than the one who buys these
necessary commodities. And he Is
right, too, when he says that If the
farmers will plant acreage enough to
make an ample, provision crop, the
cotton acreage will settle Itself.
The farmer who produces his own
food crops on the farm and makes one
hundred bales of cotton will make
more clear ,mouey on his farm every
year than the one who makeB two
hundred bales of cotton and has to
buy bis corn, meat and other farm
supplies, and If the "hog and hominy”
plan of farming were adopted by all
the farmers In the South, we would
have the richest section of country on
the face of the globe within the next
twenty years.
: . Hard work and good management
. are apt' to bring good luck.
Editor Sweat, of the Nashville Her
ald, Is a pungent paragraphed
!: ..,t ,
. The March freeze didn’t get all the
peaohes down here m Goa's country.
, The Woman’s Mngazlne says that
the word ‘.‘dear” has no meaning when
used by a woman.
That was a pretty though touching-
.
‘ ly sad little story printed In the At
lanta Constitution yesterday, telling of
■ ' the visit of the.Purcells—Prank Pur
cell, the patricide, Ills mother and Ills
young wlfo-t-to the grave of the dend
father and husband,‘on last Sunday
nftornon. Tho story was beautifully
written, too, and does credit to the
heart and mind of the writer. The
story of tho killing of Henry Jnclcson
& jPurcell by hts son, E. Prank Purcell,
at their home In Atlanta one night Inst
week, has been published In Tho Her
ald and the circumstances under
which the young man was forced to
shoot his father are familiar to our
readers. Saturday the patricide had
$£■ his oommltment trial and was dis
charged. Sunday was his first free
day after the awful tragedy, and In
; ,5tbe afternoon he took his wife and
mother and such floral offerings ns
i- 5 they, could procure and visited the
newly-made grave of the father he had
slain, lingering there in sympathetic
{ sorrow until the shades of evening
appeared, It may have been a little
thing, but the fact that the young man
who had, under force of circumstances
and In defense of his mother and him-
self, slain his father, took opportunity
of his first free day to prove his filial
devotion, was as beautiful in one re-
spect as it was Bad In another, and
will go far toward Justifying him at
the Mercy Seat and In the eyes of his
fellow men. as welL
William J. Bryan, now traveling
abroad, In his latest syndicate letter
from Japan, says that the claims of the
Chinese to advanced Ideas, scientific
and.educational, will not bear Investi
gation. He believes that Chinese phil
osophy has been greatly overestimated
by tho balnnco of the world.
Judge Alton B. Parker's suggestion
tlint It Is time for the South to as
sume leadership of tho Democratic
party and to furnish the presidential
candidate, seems to give assurance
that ho knows when he has had enough
and will not care to make the race
again himself. *
Sister Myrlck, of Amerlcus, has the
State Sunday School Association on
her hands this week.
Of Course They Are Not Fools.
From the Mncon Telegraph.
The Sparta Ishmaellte ventures to
suggest to us that "Mr. A. A. Murphy
is nobody’s fool." Of course not.
Neither 1b Seab Wright, nor Watson,,
nor Peek. They are all smart, and
they agree with Watson. In the No
vember number of his magazine the
Populist leader appealed to his Popu
list friends, saying: “No matter what
Hoke Smith has done or said In the
past, he Is fighting our fight now and
we must hold up his hanrjs.”
In his "Interview" with the Augusta
Herald Mr. Watson olosed his. three
columns with these words: “I sound
the call to duty, comrades; you Ijave
an opportunity. Remember what yoi
and I have stood for, have vainly frlei
to do all these bitter years. Hoke
Smith Is trying to do what we want
done and can not do by ourselves.”
Mr. Watson, In his magagalne, again
says: "The anti-corporation whites led
by Hoke Smith want to remove thp
fear of negro domination co that thr
whites will no longer be afraid ti
divide.”
Again Mr. Watson says: "When dis
franchisement becomes a law, the deck
will be cleared for action.”
No, they are not fools. If there are
any'fools in the game they must be
among those who can not understand
Mr. Watson’s ptiln and potent words.
What Is It he “wants done?” What
do the words "fighting our fight”
mean? What Is the “opportunity" re
ferred to? What does he mean by
“clearing the decks for action?”
He tells you: “We must unite” to
divide the Democrats. “No time to di
vide now" when they are split “Dis
franchise the blacks and free the
whites,” so that “the whites will no
longer be afraid to,divide.”
Mr. Watson declared In the last
presidential campaign that he was
back In politics to stay, and that he
had reconsecrated himself to the work
of putting the Populist party on Its
legs again. He has worked hlmBelf
up to tho point of believing that It he
can cause to be written In our consti
tution some hokus-pokus phrases on
the subject of disfranchisement that
It will remove any remaining fear of
negro domination In politics, and that
then “the whites will not be afraid to
divide;” that “the decks will be
cleared for action," and'he can easily
rebuild a party that will successfully
contest wjth the Democratic party for
supremacy In this state. This is what
he means by “disfranchising the
blacks and freeing tfie ’whites.” To
play this game was his resolve when
he found, during the Nineties, that, he
could not. control the negro vote
l(which he tried very hard to do) and
cast that vote against the Democratic
party. Of course a white Democratic
primary doet not suit his purposes,
for obvious reasons, although that ays-
tern effectually cuts out the 'negro
votes at the polls.
If the Ishmaellte desires to help Mr.
Watson’s program along It Is an affair
of Its own with which we have no
concern, except that the Telegraph will
continue to perform Its duty to Its
readers by keeping them informed on
these questions which affect the Integ
rity of the Democratic party.
