Moniche would have suspected tho man

Prados, moreover, had appear'd only
three times t Rovere'a house, and on
tho day of the murder he bad entered
at the moment when Mmo. i.oniclie was

Everything served Prades’ projects.
He had come not to kill, hut by some
means to gain entrance to Rovere’s

find some resource —a loan, more or less
freely given, more or less forced —and
ho would leave with it.
Ki,\ore, already worn out, weary cf

pushed it back, entered, closed it aud
said:
“A last intervb- ! Von will never

Then Rovoro allowed him to enter
tho. salon, and despite the terrible weak
ness which he experienced wished to
make this a final, decisive interivew;
to disembarrass himself once for ail of
ibis everlasting beggar, sometimes
whining, rmwetines threatening.
“Will you net let mo die in peace?’

But Prados had seated himself in a
fai teuil, crossed his legs and hung ovir
his knee his sombrt.ro, c.u which he
drummed a li ini-tr, 1 inarch.
‘‘iiy dear I. Rovere, it is a last ap

hungry, ami hero 1. am.”
“I have nothing with which to feed
your appetites. You are nothing but a
burden to me. ”
“Oh, ingratitude!” And Prades, with
his Argentina accent, spoke his sister’s
name.
"My father died, and Carlotta herself
intrusted me to your care, my dear
brother-in law. ”
It seemed to the sick man, irritated
as he was, that this name—which he
had buried deep in his heart with chaste
tenderness—was a supreme insult.
“I forbid you to evoke that memory i
You do net see, then, that the memory

“And it is cue of my heritages—
brother-iu-law of a consul, seuor una,
but it is a title, and 1 hold it!”
Rovere experienced a strong desire to
call, to ring, to give an order to have
this troublesome visitor put out, but en
ergetic and fearless as ho had been but
a short time before, now weakened I v
illness, h3 trembled before a possible
scandal. Then he, unaided, attempted
to push tho young man out of tho Ealou.
Prades resisted and at tho first touch
gave a bound, and all that was evil in
him suddenly awoke.
A struggle ensued without ft Word
being pronounced by either—a quick,
brutal struggle. Rovere counted on his
past strength, tailing by the cellar this
Prades who threatened him, and Prades,
while clutching tho ex-eor.>'.,l v.iih 1-ia
left hand, searched in his pocket for a
weapon—the one which Bernurdet had
taken from him.
This was u sinister moment. Prades
pushed Rovere back. Ho staggered and
fell against a piece of furniture, while
the young man, disengaging himself,
stepped buck, quickly opened his Span
ish knife, then, with a bound, caught
Revere, shook him, and holding the
knife uplifted said:
“Thou bast willed it!”
It was at this instant that Rovere,
w hose hands wire contracted, dug his
nails into thoassiiei-in's neck—tho naii3
which the (Jouimmsary Do ’ Are and

Prades, who had come there either to

is tetter to abandon part ot the land,
even atitr it ' : s planted, and bring the
ri ruainder to the highest point t culti
vatii n than to endanger the entire crop
by a too large area, which must be hur
riedly and imperfectly cultivated. A
farmer should be able to get around his
crops at hast every ten days or two
w eeks, a loin ei interval then this means
li.- k and ofuti irreparable injury. April
has become lie great cotton planting
month, iu Gecrgia. Of late years tbo
planting ot this crop has been gradually
delayed from a later to a later da e.
Farmers are beginning to more fully
re alize the importance of thorough pre
paration, and that any reasonable delay
in planting s more than atoned lor by
putting the land in firstelass ci nditioa

David Dickson, the must euccessful of

every inch added to the depth of prep

on that land. Farmers who have
not exercised the precaution of thor

chance of injury from lack of necessary

FAI.MF.KS SHOULD STUDY CAREFULLY
the following facts presented by two ot
the best intern ed cotton authorities iu
Auierii.. and England. They are con
tained in the latest report ot Latham,
Alexander & Cos. and are reproduced
hi re m order to g re them the widest
circulation uid to bring them more di
rectly to the attention of turners
throughout the state:
LOBS 1 ROM MAKING TOO MUCH COTTON.
“In our circular letters of Jan. i9
and Feb. 5 we endeavored to show the
undeniably enormous losses that, tlr?
south has invariably sustained when
more cotton was produud than neces
sary to supply the wants of (A, world.
‘Yt we should bring the taba'ated fig

losses to the fanners mi this y uir’s crop
would appear stiff ra re startling: and,
with the condition i.t rffaiis now pre
vailing throughout, -he word, tbe ne
cessity for a reduction ; : acreage this
year should appeal to every farmer with
greater force aud induce him to largely
increase the production of food crops.'
THREATENED WAR.
The threatened wars in the east and
between Spain and the United States
are a serious menace to the cotton plant
ing interests of the south. Ou this sub
ject tl >• report says:
••The planters of the south have no

“Even with permanent peace existing
between all the nations of the globe, the
ct.nsumpitive demand for cotton wcuiel
not be sufficient to wa rant the prociac
ti. n of another such large . anerican
crop ns lust year. An inevitable loss to
the whole south, ia our opinion, would
surely follow.”
THE FUTURE PKOFPECfS OF COTTON.
From a recent tireu.ur ot J A ws. Elli
sr n & Cos , lAveipool, the highest au
thority on to;ton consumption in ihe
World, we make the roiltiwing extract as
to future prospects:
“in uur annual report issued in Jan
uary we showed that with an American
crop of 10. 750.000 bales, and a <x nsump
tii ti of about 9,0.50,000 hales, ike stock

mills w ould be about 1,900,000 bi les
against inly WO,CCO last year, and we
remarked (but in regard to the future ot
prices every thing would depend upon
the prospects of the new crop.
“With as great a reduction in acreage
as tock place :a ihe spring of 1895, we
should see a repetition of the upward
movement ,u values witnessed in that
year; but, if planters a:c satisfied witn
present prices and do not reduce the
area planted, then cotton will become a
