Cplto.i.
If the South should never find an-
other gold minci, eoaj las!,mangano i'
mine, or any other piim ral deposits,
cotton alone, with the adaptability of
this climate to other agricultural pro-
ducts, would give tjs a surplus
eyed crop that would make us hide-
pendent. We can live well here ami
never grow a pound 1 of cotton, * and
il* . , tills . bp true W(* liMU* cotton ft
surplus. There cjpi Ijg nothing in the
way of our becoming rich if cotton is
raised only as a surplus. There is
less depression from an agricultural
standpoint in the cotton States} than
any other part of the whole country,
Wheat and corn have been for many
mouths, until a few days ago, selling
for loss than the cost of production,
and in many places there is no mar-
kot at all for these products. But
there will never be another time* if
there is not an unvu-f over pvodr.c-
fion that, cotton will not bring a
if able price. This sea;. n’s cotton
crop is estimated to be 7,300,f'«8«
bales, nearly all of whi-di bus been
sold at profitable prices for the pro-
duces, and the demand is for more,
!’!:<■ visible supply is smaller than for
many years, and therefore guarantee-'
good prices for the next crop. The
great advantage leal cotton has over
most products, is that it is a ready
rash product, cotuv.par.ding money the.
day the gin turns it out. A product
for which bath demand and price in¬
creases is certainly of great value t;
a s; clhm that has a monopoly in that
product. This is undoubted! v tnu
of the Mouth in cotton. The im-
proved methods for colorin';- the cof-
ton f.jbiia so it will ret.-.in its richest
mid r.lso most delicate hues has
caused an in.-rense de:r.:;i;:i for its ;;.*o.

find colors that are called woolen

out the best values for the least
money, and hero we rest, the great
future of cotton, for there is no other
product that will make a fabric so
servicable that will at ail compete
with it in production and price. Then
it. is as natural and shows as much
business sense for Pennsylvania
construct her iron plants in
as for the col (on of the South to be
manufactured in a section as remotely
from its place of production, as much
of it now is. Looking at the matter
from this standpoint it is only a ques¬
tion of time as to when the most
the cotton crop vviil be manufactured
in the South. The reader may think
our anticipation:-; for the South’s fut¬
ure prosperity', if she raises her nec¬
essaries at home and cotton for the
market as a surplus, loolvs v(,*ry hi igUt
for the South;' but what will the
western grain and meat producers do
with their surplus? This is not for
us to look after; they must woik out
their own salvaiiou. If we can gyt
to the point where we ran raise the
r.eoessa: ies of life at home, have our
fertilizers manufactured here, and
grow our cotton as a surplus, we want
no higher road to independence so
far as money is concerned. If all
cannot raise watt on as a surplus, do
so, a.; nearly as possible, and great
tilings may he expected in the future.
Don’t Barrow Money.
The man who borrows ynonyy—
unless he have extraordinary ability
as a financier, no matter liovv low the
rate of int erest—is certain to go down
the. scale of prosperity. We have
only to look about us to confirm this
i statement . Those who have bor-
| what lv ’' vt ‘ a appeared moiu k v fr0,u be thw t0 low
to very rates
have become ontanged in its slow but
powerful chains of interest growing,
until they find it impossible to loose
themselves from the monster. Bor-
rowed money has no parallel as a
plodder. Let sickness, famine, panic,
or what will come, and it pursues its
even tenor, demanding bounty from
every one it befriends. Its energy
for adding to itself can be met by the
“rustier” only. We are aware
borrowed money and the time system
generally, where honor and business
were the collaterals, have
bought homes ami caused much j iros-
perity, but this has been the eveep-
tion and the rule is on the other side, •
Interest does, the work for
arms and cross-lens, and he that paj •S
ij must, serve Ids masters.
The Alliance of Alabama have
propounded some questions to Con-
grgssman Oates, of that State, re-
qairing answers before they would
support him in the next elections. In
his answer (.’okOatos said he could
uot eonsejont-i-njsiy vote for sojne of
their, proposed measures, die most
important of which was the
treasury bill.
Secretary Wiudoxa’s View*.
Secretary of the Treasury Window
says that the government should
caused to be coined fifty millions o!
silver dollars each yea)* for twenty
years, and issue the coin or itseqniv-
alciit in certificates to the people,
The country was growing in popula-
tion at the rate of 3 per cent., and
business was im rca ing at the rate of
0 ]>tT COllt. Tilt* £*oV(Tl»niGllt SilOUIu
keep abreast with this growth and
coin silver by the millions. Silver
bullion on deposit would not do. It
was a commodity like wheat, corn
and cotton, and money issued on any
article save gold or silver coin with
the money stamp of the government
on it was open to serious objection,
lie also says the Vance hill cannot
become a law, that such money as it
provided for would not, if it was is-
sued, pass as good currency, as it had
no metallic basis, and the speculators
would at oner seek to break down its
value. The inference e» that money
issued on agricultural products such
the Vance or sub-treasury bill de-
sires is dangerous, as such products
fluctuate so much that it would be
impossible to fix a sound basis.

La vmvi.i, Ga., April 10.—Last
night about 7:30 o’clock a most: tor-
rilie storm visited our town, the most
terrible it has ever experienced. Tim
low muttering thunder and perpetual
flash of the lightning gave extended
notice of the impending danger. The
storm came from the North-west,
and when it reached Lavonia it
seemed to be almost on the ground.
The rain fell in torrents, the bail tor
a few seconds peppered down, and
the v, ind blew terrifically, uprooting
trees, scattering fences and doutroy-
ing houses, and for awhile it appeared
that everything would be blown to
atoms. Eyes unused to weeping now
gave forth their tears, and tongues
too frequently used hi blaspheming

The walls of the Baptist church

house opposite the steeple was slipped
about two inches on the pillars. This
building, it will be remembered, was
blown down while in course of erec¬
tion in March, 1 889.
A con-Idem’ le portion of the tin
roof of the Grange Hall was torn, to
pieces, ami the whole house is lean-
in to the In ortli-east.
A long shed in the back yard
the livery stable, was blown down,
badly damaging a buggy that stood
■under it.
A wagon used by the feather ren¬
ovators, which was standing in front
of the stable, was blown across the
street a ad turned upside down.
The seed house in which the local
agents <•£ the E. C. S. II. have been
storing cotton need was picked up
and set off the piikin*.
The stove room at Mr. -I. F. Ta¬
bor’s was carried about four feet.
Nothing iii the V*om was misplaced
except a lamp that had been left burn¬
ing on tii'.' table. If had fallen off
and was lying on the floor still burn-

Considerable damage was done to
