The Gazelle is in receipt of “The

“Leisure Hours in Florida, on the

Tho deposition of Gen. Campos,
and the installation of n commander-
iu-ohief of the Spanish forces in Cuba
of a man well known for his harsh
ness and severity, is thought to ho tho
beginning of a war of extermination
on tho part of the Spanish troops,
which will ho retaliated in kind by
tho Cubans. Thn situation still seems
to bn favorable to the insurgents, for
tho hardest fighting the Spanish
troops have yet given evidence of
was in editing the press dispatches.
According to the figures given by
the Memphis Cotton Exchange, the
cotton crop of 1802, consisting of
(5,700,1165 bales, brought 0 cash value
of 1284,205,512. The enormous
crop of 1894, consisting of 0,001,251
halos, only brought *297,087,680,
leaving the prico received for tho ex
cess crop of 8,200,305 bales $12,272,
018, or about *4 per bale for all over
an average crop. Talk seems useless
when a fanner is pitching his cotton
crop when the price is around eight
cents, hut it might lm well for him to
reflect whether it is host to gather
eight biles of cotton to tlm plow at
.an average of five cents per pound,
or gather five hales at an average of
eight conts per pound.
The Gazette has never took up
much of its farmer friend’s time tell
ing him about'thd weather, or advis
ing him how to run his farm. The
first for the reason that if he has not
sense enough to know when it rains,
ho hasn’t enongh to subscribe for and
appreciate as good a paper as the
Gazette; the second for the reason
that If he dosen’t know how to ran
his farm, he can’t make enough mon
ey to pay for his paper.
But if there are any of our farmer
friends who have ever tried a whack
at the newspaper business, and they
feel like they want to give us some
advice, we are ready and willing to
give their theories a hearing and their
ideas a trial. We tried farming for
several years, in fact we had to, to
make enough money to get hack into
the nowspaper business again, and
through that fellowship and brother
ly feeling engendered, we want to
just put in one word of advice right
here:
Farmer friend jf you intend increas
ing your cotton acreage this year, as
a brother and fellow-laborer we say
DOKT.
With a steady and systematic re
duction of the cotton output, the fu
ture prosperity of tho southern plant
er is assured; without it, and with the
harum-scarum, suicidal policy por-
sued in years past, the fittest will not
survive, but all go into bankruptcy
together.
If you made six bales of cotton
last year they brought you as much
in hard cash as the ten you made the
year before, while a small profit was
realized on tho short crop, and the
large crop was made at a net loss, and
one more such would have forced
one out of every three southern plant
ers to the wall.
If dooioved by tho temporary ad
vance of prices, the southern planters
put in another heavy crop, the price
goes down, and the prico of bread
stuff and provisions (of which tho
output is decreased to give room for
the increased output of cotton) goes
up, and ruin onco morn stares the
planter in. the face.
This is no theory, but a condition
that is apparent to every thinking
man. It is tho result of years of j
hard-bought experience, and a condi- ■
tion that the farmer lias in his power
to mould to his will.
The'question is: Will you raise
your bread and meat and cotton at a
profit, or will you raise cotton at a
loss, for tho fun and honor there is
in it, and trust to providence to save
you from the consequences of your
own folly?
It is the Gazette’s experience that
nothing is to be gained by temporary
reductions in subscription rates in
order to temporarily boom the lists,
unless the reduction is made perma
nent. The confusion and misunder
standings are not repaid by the small
increase in names.
"1 am cured since taking Hood's sarsaparilla,"
Is what many thousands are saying. It gives
renewed vitality and vigor.

LET THERE ME LIGHT.
The noud of street lamps in Tifton
becomes more apparent with every
passing night. Our town is not ono
of tho old sleepy fogies that retires
with the chickens and awakes with
tho birds, but the hustle is a con
tinued ono for twenty-four hours, and
to tlioso who hustle during tho night
street lights aro a neocssity.
The need of lights is one of the
first remarked by visitors, and the
need becomes more pressing as tho
days roll by, A large number of
visitors and others ooine on tho night
trains, and these need the benefits of
the lights most.
Tho lights of a city aro tho untir
ing, sleepless eyes that guard its
sleeping and guide its waking popu-
Inoe, and tell tho outside world of its
unceasing vigilance.
Arrangements can bo made by
which they can bo socurcd at a very
small cost Lot’s have them.
