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.
