NOW. IS THE TIME TO AOT.
Tho amount of debt which will
h irg <>v( r the average farmer n»xt
fall will depend largely upon the
am tint of cotton he will plant this
spring. If he increases his acroige
in cotton he will have to buy more
gaano to do it and other things will
have to be bought.
. If he reduces his acreage in cot
’ ton he will have les* guano to buy
; and will have room for other crops
that will help to pay running ex
penses. A larger patch of , oats,
' corn, hay, ebufas, paae, etc , and a
few more hogs and cow i, a few
I more extra chickens and tnrkevs
for the market, will mean more
money and less debt in the end.
Don’t let the farmer get the idea
; that everybody else is going to cut
down the cotton acreage, or that
they can bull the price of tho sta
ple by declaring “ruin,” “inin,”
“ruin” of the crop along in July.
These things have been tried too
often, and have proved a delusion
every time.
The cotton crop of the South—
and especially the sea island—will
make this section indep mdently
rich if planted as a surplus crop.but
1t will prove an unprofitable ser
vant unless other crops are raised
in connection with it.
Let the farmers remember thot
now, and nit next fall, is the time
fbr them to act.
THS SOUTHERN GRAIN OROP
The South rn Farm Magazine, of
Baltimore, has compiled from of
ficial report* of the government the
statistics of grain crops iu the South
in 1902. Tao total values are as fol
lows :
Corn 502 187,609 bushels, valued
it $276,553,894; wheat, 48,872,127
bush' I*, valued at $38,069,619, rye,
1,352 892 bushels, valued at $975,-
514, and oa s, 56 178,672 bushels,
valued at $26,253,265.
In addition to grain, the South
raised 21 897,555 bushels of Iri h po
tatoes, valued at sl4 116,169, 3.905,-
423 tone of hay, valued an $46,734,-
706, nnd 630,258,898 pounds of to
bacco, valued at $63 843,025 Toe
total for these three items add d to
the total for grain makes $466,545 -
192, or approx mately, about one
half of the total value of the agri
cultural produets of the South In
this report no mention is made of
the cotton crop, of/sweet potatoes—
the yield of w hictfin the South is
much larger (han the yield of Irish
potatoes—of tugajr, rice and fruit
crops. These figures show that the
grain Crop of the South—com,
wheat, oats und rye—is about the
same in value as an average cotton
crop, but the growth of diversified
farming iu the South promises
within a few years to make the val
ue of these crops much larger than
that of cotton.
President Roosevelt's Unanimous Action-
/ Savannah Press.
The Macon Telegraph writes an
article commending President
Roosevelt for appointing a white
man as collector of port at St.
Mary's, to succeed Coffee, the
colored officer. The Telegraph in

unanimously and asked the presi
dent to appoint a white nun to the
place, and this be did a tew days
ago.”
The information of the Pjess is
that Holzendorf, the new collector,
is as black as Coffee, whom he very
much resemble*. The Telegraph
announces that it has “candidly
an 1 freely commended the many
wise and courageous acts of the
president” and that “here is a case
to his credit” which it desires to
record at this time. The Press de
sires to call the attention of the
esteemed editor of the Macon Tele

CLAIM AGAINST SALVADOR.
California Capitalists Want Govern
ment to Pay Them $600,000.
San Francisco, Feb. 11. —The Salva
dor Commercial company, composed of
a number of capitalists of Oakland,
has a claim for $600,000 against the
; government of Salvador and the mone
will fall due next month about the
time the Pacific squadron arrives in
the vicinity of the turbulent Central
American republics. The company
was organized in 1896, the Americans
retaining the control, although consid
erable stock was gold to Salvadoreans.
Docks were constructed and a thriving
business was beiiig done when the
Americans were frozen out and the
property confiscated by the govern
ment. The matter was directed to
the attention of Secretary Hay, <who
appointed a committee to InvesHwote
After long deliberation the committee
awarded the Americans $600,000.
IMMIGRANT AGENT INDICTED.
Powers Charged With Obtaining
Money Under False Pretenses.
Ida Grove, lowa, Feb. 10-- —An in
dictment was returned today against
A. O. F. Powers, of Oklahoma City,
Okla., formerly immigrant agent of
the Topeka and Santa Fe tailway,
charging him with obtaining money
under false pretenses.
It is alleged Mr. Powers represent
ed to lowa real estate men that he
had been selected as the agent of the
Creek and Seminole Indians of Indian
Territory to dispose of their lands af
ter the allotment made by the Dawes
commission. According to evidence
presented to the grand jury $5,000
worth of drafts on the First National
bank of Hutchinson, Kan., have
returned as worthless. Powers’ pres
ent whereabouts are not known.
Highway Robbery Near Laursns, 8. C.
Spartanburg, S. C„ Feb. 10.—A spe
cial to The Dally Herald from Laurens
says news of a bold highway robbery
reaches here from the vicinity of
Mountville, a town on the Seaboard
Air Line railroad.' Dr. Frank G. Ful
ler, one of the most prominent citi
zens of the county residing 3 miles
west of Mountville, was the victim and
$25 was the amount secured. He was
returning home on horseback. Just
at nightfall, when about a mile from
the above named town, two men, ap
parently muiattoes, suddenly approach,
ed from either side, seized the doctor
and rifled his pockets without remov
ing him from his horse. The doctor
had nothing but a riding whip with
which to protect himself, but this he
vigorously applied to the fellows’ faces
and shoulders. Several arrests have
been made but the evidence has not
been sufficient to hold any one for the
ciime.
Discussing Senator Hanna’s proposi
tion to pension the ex slaves, the New
Orleans State* says: “Thegovernment
pension list has done more to debauch
the nation, tostifla its public conscience,
to blight civiz virtue, to sap independ
ent manhood and to promote a mawkish
sentiment of dependence upon the gov
ernment rather than upon om’s indi
vidual exertions than has been contrib
uted to this result by all other causes
combined.”
Searching for the Pole.
Until different means have been adopted
from those t'led in the past it seems about
useless to make any further effort to lo
cate the North Pole. It is also useless to
make an effort to cure disorders of the
stomach, liver, kidneys or bowels unless
you use Hostetter’s Stomach Bitte-s,
which is world renowned as a cure for
such ailments. It will strengthen and
tore up the weak stomach, restore the ap
petite, and stimulate rhe liver and kid
neys There is no medicine in the world
so good as the Bitters to cure sick head
ache, heartburn, indigestion, dyspepsia,
constipation, liver and kidney troubles or
malaria, fever and ague. When tn need
of a remedy of this kind do not fail to try
the Bitters It will surely do you good

REidN OF TERROR IN COFFEE.
County Thrown In Turmoil by Aacts
of White Desperadoes.
Waycross, Ga., Feb. 11. —-A terrible
state of affairs exists near McDonald,
in Coffee county, since tpe wholesale
shooting of negroes by two'White men
last Sautrday night.
While it Is known beyond quesiton
who did the,.shooting, no arrests havo
been made and the negroes who saw
the shooting are afraid to say anything
about the affair.
The two white men are thoroughly
armed and desperate, and there is no
question but there will be further trou
ble should an attempt be made to ar
rest them.
Later rep’orts from the shooting are
that not less than 12 negroes were
injured besides the two who were
killed outright. The festival which
was in progress near Beach’s still Sat
urday is said to have been unusually
peaceable until the two white men
appeared without warning at. each door
and commenced emptying their revol
ve! s and shotguns into the crowd.
Not lees than 25 shots were fired at
the negroes while a mad stampede was
made fcr the one window. When most
of the negroes had escaped the dead
and some of the wounded who were
left In the house were bound- together
by the white men. After binding the
negroes the white men went through
their pockets and robbed them of
everything they possessed.
Tub white desperadoes then left the
house, leaving the wounded negroes
tied to the dead bodies. Returning a
short time later the cords were cut
and with curses and threats the ne
groes were informed that they would
be killed if they ever told who did the
shooting.
No one in that vicinity will publicly
discuss the affair on account of the
terror in which the desperadoes are
held.
They have 'several friends who will
undoubtedly assist them should an at
tempt at arrest be made.

company yesterday again came off vic
torfous in its second suit against the
government to recover war revenue
taxes collected on coca-cola under the

TILLMAN TO AID NEPHEW.
1 Cenator Visits Slayer of C izales In
His Prison Cell.
Columbia, S. C., Feb. 11. —There has
been considerable speculation as to
what part Senator Tillman would take
in * ■ ' case of his nephew, J. H. Till
sn an, now in Richland- county jail un
der charge of murder.
It bas beaa.kuown that f-r years the
senator and- his nephew have been on
bad terms. Only a few days ago Sen.
aterr Tillman wrote a letter, which has
been published, in which he said there
wore two kinds of Tillmans, and that
his nephew had opposed him political
ly for the last ten years.
In the last few days J. H. Tillman
has appealed to his uncle, and as a re
sult the senator stopped over in Colum
bia on. his way to Edgefield-
His movements were known to but
few people. He drove directly to the
jail and spent several hours with his
nephew, going over the line of defense
with him and making suggestions.
It is given out by attorneys for J.
H. Tillman that the senator promised
to give him any assistance in his pow.

IMPORTANT POINT SCORED
Ey Claimants For Estate -df Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Fair.
New York, Feb. 11. —A most impor
tant point has, according to The Amer
lean’s Paris correspondent, been
Scored for Mrs. Hannah Nelson of New
Jersey, and the other claimants to the
estate of Mr.- and Mrs. Charles L.
Fair by the filing of an affidavit by the
United States consul here by Dr. Per
riquet, the physician who examined the
bodies of the Fairs after the fatal au
tomobile accident, that Charles Fair
died before hfs wife.
I This affidavit is at variance with
the doctor’s original statement that
both the Fairs were killed instantane- .
ously, and simultaneously, but the doc
tor now claims that fcis affidavit is
backed up by medical evidence beyond
dispute, and it is declared that his first
statement was made upon the impulse
of the moment and without regard to
the greatness of the interests at stake.
In all, there are if witnesses whose
evidence will be of material use to the
contestants for the Fair millions, and
the lawyers here, say that the proof
Is incontestible. Several of these wit
nesses will be sent to New York and
the depositions of the others will be
sent, properly attested, to the lawyers
in that city.
TRIAL OF HUMBERTS IN PARIS.
Great Public interest Manifested In
the Proceedings.
Paris, Feb. 11.—The Humbert fami
ly made their first appearance in the
criminal court today, when the case
of M. Cattani, the banker, was taken
up in the ninth correctional chamber.
There was great public interest mani
fested in the proceedings, and the
coMrt room was pavked with people.
All the previous examinations of the
Humberts had been held in secret, and
this was the first opportunity Paris
had to see and hear the prisoners. The
prisoners were brought in like any or
dinary prisoners and took seats in the
prisoners’ box. Mme. Therese Hum
bert displayed her usual bravado and
coolness; her sister Marie d’Anrignac,
was apparently unnerved and the lat
ter’s brothers maintained an attitude
of calm defiance.
The early stages of the trial today
did not produce any sensations. Mme.
Humbert gave a long rambling state
ment of her dealings with M. Cattanl’s
and alleged that his demands for ex
cessive interest on her borrowings
from him amounted to about $600,-
000. When M. Cattani was heard- and
repudiated the charge of usury, Mme.
Humbert sprqjpg up and asked for the
privilege of interrogating the banker,
but the presiding magistrate repressed
her.
The testimony furnished hy Marie
d’Aurignac today showed evidence of
an intention to leave to Mme. Humbert
the direction of the plans for the de
fense.
WRECK OF THE MADIANA.
Passengers Are All Ashore at Hamil
ton, Bermuda.
New York, Feb. 11.—At the office
of the Quebec Steamship line this
morning it was said that the company
had no definite plan as to the excur
sionists who were l n the Madiana
wreck. The passengers are all ashore
at Hamilton.
The company’s agents at that port
have been notified to see that they
receive every attention. Any who
care to continue the original cruise,
except so far as It included all ports
in Porto Rico and Cuba, would have
the opportunity to do so on one of the
company’s West Indian boats. It
will be impossible, however, to pro
vide any one boat which can.carty all
of the excursionists, so in the event
that all elect-to continue the cruise,
they Will have to take their tyrns. Nq
further cable information has been re
ceived at Xhq company’s offices since
those of last night announcing that
passengers, mall and baggage had
been saved.
