THE PROFIT IN CULTURE
That Will Forever Settle the Acreage
Question—The Situation of
the Farmers.
A BLOODY DUEL,
Atlanta, Ga., March 18.—The com
missioner of agriculture says the far
mers are notcuttir g down the cotton
acreage as much as lias been supp >sed,
and from the information received in
the department, thinks it is time to
sound a note of warning.
Commissiomr Nesbitt stys be is in re
cent of several letters from farmers in
diff ret tsrctions of the state, asking
him to again urge tee importance of re
ducing the cotton acreage. and to warn
the farmers against using large quanti
ties of fertilizers in the s.uue, indiscrim
inate and careless manner as hereto
fore.
“I have always advised,” said the
commissioner, “against the au'cidal pol
icy of wearing out our lands and im
poverishing our people, that the manu
facturers t f oi l and New England, too,
shou d make 300 or 400 p r cent, ad
vance from the result of our labor. The
price of cotton is far bel >w the figure,
which, under the present system, rep
resents the cost of production, but we
see no corresponding reduction in the
price of manufactured g H>ds. For the
past two years we have used in Georgia
about thirteen million dollar-’ worth of
commercial fertilizers, and the c.tton
crop has increased v to
neatly one million bales.
We have attained our object in produc
ing a big crop, but what has the far
mer gained? A heavy load of debt
What has become of the fertility of the
soil? It has been swept away by the
leaching winter rains, and dissipated
by the glaring summer suns. Notwith
standing the large amount of fresh land
annually taker, in, and the immense
quantity of fertilizers used, the average
production bas stood at a bale to three
acres for several successive years. In
other words, the expenses have gone on
increasing, wnila the production per
acre bas remained the same. In the
meantime the price has ruinously de
clined, and ted ay

looks us squarely in the face. There is
no dodging this condition; it is here,
and will not down at our bidding
Stnl' we meet it as in former years, by
taxing our credit to its utmost limit to
increase the acreage, and by buying
immense amounts of commercial f rti
lizers? Under the ordinary method
of prepiring and cultivating tLc
land this means only financial embar
rassment. Or sliail we pause in our in
sane carter and listen to the advice of
sober sense and judgment? Let me il
lustrate my meaning by referring to a
few experiments, which nave come un-
- der mv observation, and also to some
tests, which I have made.
COTTON RAISED AT THREE AND A
CENTS.
*’A recent experiment at the Geor
gia station shows that where land has
betn properly treated a yield of one
bale to the acre can be made at a cost
ol 3 Ir^csiTfS per pound. Colonel Cor
put, of Floyd, a car ful accountant,
showed me bis est mates also, and he
made a profit or' 2 1-2 cents per pound
where f'e yield was a bale per acre.
“Another experiment, of which 1
have the details, was made on land
which second entirely exhausted.
Protecting and paying crops of peas,
clover aud grass were plsnted, which
brought the laud to a c ndition where
high leitilizati. n was bothfeasibie and
profit able, and 1890 the crop averaged
one and a half bales to the acre at a
cost of a fraction over three c: nts per
pound. It was marketed at. 8 1-2 cents
thus giving a clear profit of 5 1-2 cents
per pound to the producer.
SPECULATIVE FARMING
must be abandoned. We must learn to
make ill supplies at home,, ami make
all the manure possible at borne, and
make cotton our indepeudi nt money
crop. This lastcan oi ly be accomplish
ed by gradual and judicious renova
tion ol our worn lands, planting them
first in peas tr otinr leguminous crop
turning these under tc restire the veg
etable element so mueb needs d, and ap
plying ail the barnyard manure possi
ble, supplemented by some of our best
commeutal fertilizers. When men be'
gin io larm on this plan the question of
me ess* d acreage will be l'orevei set-
lied”
“What about taxation and discrim
ination, of which the farmtr com
plains?”
“The farmers constitute fully 80 per
cent of our population; they are the
wealth producers of our country, and.
as a ml ?, the most ci nstrvative class of
our citizens.' The policy of tne govern
meet has discriminated against them
and their burdens are becorn
ing each year more oppressive. The
government owes it to them, at least,
to listen to and investigate their de^-
m&nds. Give us a grauuated income
tax, which would only be juat, inas
much as the few who reap benefit irom
the labor of the many should be will
ing to liberally mp >nd f *he support
of the go vein men t, whose strong arm,
in time of (larger, is stretched out for
their protection. Did it ever occur
you that whenever our government
menaced and the treusuies ot the rich
threatened, it is this strong, conserva
tive, laboring class which 6i*p$ into the
breach and stands as a bulwark before
the expeeted danger. It is the priv
ilege of this class to demand & reduc
tiou of our taxes, fedora', State and mu.
nicipal, and they should strive, in sea
son aud out of season, to accomplish
this result. They have a right to ask
that the restrictive features of the
national banking system, which
imposes a tax if 10 per
cent on all state cr local banks, be abol
ished; also that silver be remone^z.d,
Thcsa and othtr c raw backs have

tural digression,aud wneu egriculxure
suffers all other tranches of trade suffer
in sympathy. Evtn tne railroads, gen
orally so pio perou?, are reducing their
forms, and tt day hundreds of men are
thrown out of employment. It is the
duty of our law makers to investigate
these troubles and if possible find the
remedy. Agriculture is depressed al
most beyond endurance, and every otb
er branch of trade is depressed rela
tively. Let the farmers intelligently
manage this question of home supplies
and coitm prod .ccion, and then let all
classes pull together for the common
go< d. Wo spring from a common an
cestry; our interests here at the south
are so intimately and so closely inter

Two Frenchmen Fight With Pistols In
Paris.
Paris, March 18.—Society is greatly
stirred up over the serious wounding of
Mr. Isaac, the sub-prefect of Fourniers,
by the Marquis de Mores, in a duel
fought here.
Ever since the inilitary, at the insti
gation, it is claimed, of Mr. Isaac, fired
•among the working people, killing and
wounding women and children, as well
as men, Mr. Isaac bas been the subject
of frequent and bitter attacks on the
part of socialists.
He was upheld by M. Constans, and
this was one prominent cause of that
minister’s unpopularity and indirectly
of the disruption of the cabinet, and the
rejection of M. Constans by the new
premier, M. Loabet.
M. Edward Drumont, in a recent
book, alluded to M. Issaac in a severe
manner, and was promptly challenged
by the prefect, who is a person of con
siderable courge. They fought with
pistols and both were wounded, M. Dru
mont getting decidedly the worst of the
encounter.
An Italian tn New Orleans Committed
Suicide—His Throat Cut.
New Orleans, March 16. —A ghastly
find was made near Hoy’s brickyard,
located in the parish of Jefferson, and
situated iu a somewhat lonely aud
unfrequented place. A passer-by who
had occasion to go near the yard found
the body of a man lying face downward
in the grass, and on closer inspection
found that the man was dead. The de
ceased had his throat cut from ear to
ear, and in bis hand held a razor. The
body was clad simply in a suit of under
clothing, which had been dyed with
blood from the terrible gash in the neck.
The tidings of the find were quickly
conveyed to the office of the Mississippi
Valley road, where the news was sent
to the offices of Sheriff Rountree and
Coroner Le Bouef that a man bad been
found dead near tbe brickyard.
An investigation was speedily inaugu
rated by the sheriff, and the result
showed that tbe man had evidently
committed suicide. He was ascertained
to be Carmond Cepo, an Italian who
bad arrived in Southport about three
months ago, and who ever since his ar
rival had been engaged as a workman
abont the railroad yards at that point.
Cepo had been on a protracted spree for
the past few days and on_ Sunday had
drank very heavily. He was last seen
in the cabin which he occnpied, abont
fifty feet away from where his body
was found on Sunday evening, and, as
the body was found attired simply in a
suit of underclothing, the supposition is
that he wandered from his honse and
cut his throat while crazed from drink.
A GHASTLY FIND.
^ ANOTHER GIGANTIC TRUST.
Ribbon Manufacturers Form a Combina
tion With *20,000,000 Capital.
Nen York, March 17.—A trust, in-
cludidg the leading ribbon manufac
turers of the country, is being organized,
and it is the intention to start it out on
the basis of a capital stock of $20,000,-
000. - Most of file ribbon manufacturers
in the United States are in the east, the
majority being in New York and its im
mediate vicinity. The movement
originates here. It is believed that by
combining forces goods can be manu
factured at a small cost because there
will be saving in expense of advertising
and for traveling salesmen and de
signing.
Competition will be abolished by the
trust, and fhe manufacturers will have
no difficulty in maintaining prices. A
meeting will be held next Saturday at
the office of Gnggenheimer and Unter-
meyer. 46 Wall street, to formulate
plans. Circulars have been sent out
urging this combination and showing
the advantages to manufacturers of
sachet unity. The plan in the circular
is similar to that in the Cigarette trust,
and the mannfactnrers will receive
stocks and bonds for the amount of
their property. It is understood that
while a number of large mannfactnrers
favor the plan, yet some firms, whose
influence would be needed, are hesita
ting about going into any sack scheme.
Typhus Fever Victims In New York.
New York, March 16.—Three deaths
from typhns fever are reported from
North Brothers’ island. One of the dead
persons is Frederick J. Hamilton. He
was a reporter on a morning newspaper,
and ventured into the honse at 42 East
Twelfth street, where suspected persons
were quarantined. He contracted the
disease. The other persons whose deaths
are reported are: Moritz Kinskal. who
was taken from 126 East Broad way,and
Izill Ronzo, who was taken from 42
East Twelfth street.
Railroad Signals Hinder Fast Trains.
The most improved forms of signaling
and interlocking, be they mechanical,
pneumatic, electric, automatic or other
wise, which are so necessary to the safe
movement of passenger trains, may be
introduced, but cannot be placed nearer
together than three-quarters of a mile.
The very presence of these signals, while
giving the maximum safety, has in prac
tice made prompt movement more diffi
cult. This state of affairs would point
to the necessity for an increase in the
number of tracks, so that passenger
trains could be grouped on the basis of
speed just as it has been found already
necessary, on crowded lines, to separate
tbe freight traffic from the passenger.—

Duster's Charges Are All That Appear
Against His Character.
Detroit, March 16.—General Alger
bas made pnblio his war record. It in
cludes a great host of official documents
from army officers, warmly praising
Alger and recommending him for pro
motion, and along with them is the re
port of General Custer, recommending
the dismissal of Alger from the service.
The entire record is fall of credit to
Alger, with the single exception of the
Caster document, and the endorsements
thereto, and, of coarse, if it had not
been for this portion of it, the record
wonld not at this time have been
brought into snch prominence.
In contradiction to the statements of
Caster, Alger's report shows that after
the battle of Booneville be laid off on
account account of illness, as he also
did May 23,1864, and August 28,1864.
In each case, however, he had the cer
tificate of his official surgeon to show
that he was ill. It was true that in his
last absence on sick leave. Coster d:d
not respond to the doctor’s application
for sick leave for Alger, but Alger has
shown Custer’s motive by revealing the
latter's ineffectual attempt to inlace
Alger to promote Custer’s brother Aver
the heads of older officers. That Cnitor
did not always regard Alger nSTPffink
is shown by various recommendations
in the earlier i*ortions of the
wherein he praises Alger highly.
A Tciimwh Fire.
Lebanon, March 16.—A large barn

A Report Front the statlstfcan of Ag
riculture.
Washington, March 18.—The March
report of the statistician of the depart
ment of agriculture, just issued, shows
that the production of cotton of the
worid exceeded the consumption more
than $1,500,000 bales in 1890, and
that there was • further greatly
enlarged excess in 1891, glutting
the markets and increasing the
visible stocks daring the past year
more than 1,100,000 bales, and reducing
tbe Liverpool price of middling upland
from 6J pence in January 1890, to 4*
pence in January 1892.
It states that in two years this coun
try has produced an excess above the
normal requirements of more than two
million bales, and indicates a heavy re
duction in acreage as the only possible
remedy, otherwise the agriculture of
the country will suffer worse than
western agriculture ever bas.
It declares that the cotton states must
be agriculturally' self-8U3taining, that
new crops must bo introduced, as the
agricultural population has outgrown
the capacity of the office to support it.

campaign, aud Representative Daugh
erty himself. Hahn admitted drawing
$1,000 from the bank just before the
cancus. Part of it was paid to the Neil
house and part to the American hotel.
His attention was called to the fact that
some of the bills were marked with a
"D,” but as he had no intention of
doing anything wrong, he did not care
anything abont that. He made a gen
eral denial of paying any money to any
Dne to vote for Senator Sherman.
D.iugherty also made a general denial

Reformation of the Nose.
Is your nose shaped to suit yon? If it
isn’t you can have one to please your
most fastidious fancy. What ln'mi do
yon want? A straight nose, denoting
refinement and artistic tendencies; or a
rounder one, revealing a literary taste;
or a scientific nose, ora melancholy nose
of the poetic type? You can cultivate
any kind of a nose you want. This may
be done by means of a mold which ia
designed to be worn at night, and its
mission is' accomplished by gradually
pressing the flesh of the nose into any
desired shape. The molds come high,
but who would not pay the price for
