THE NEXT COTTON CROP.
One of the most Important questions
that now stares the South in the face, Is
that of the price of the next cotton crop;
for with the low prices now ruling, the
lowest in thirty-five years, the surplus
of over a million bales from last season,

Thoviiii the Augusta Chronicle is vig
orously opposing tlio general policy of
the alliance, it Is fair enough to approve
any movement that it believes Is por sc
right. It says: “In Virginia the farm
ers' alliance appears to bo devoting it
self maitily to thu railroad question. It
demands the creation of a stato railroad
commission, with power to regulate
rates for transportation, and proposes to
pledgo candidates for tlio legislature on
that question. This is a righteous cru
sade.
Or coi'iise Atlanta and Augusta can't
agree on nnything; and the two ex
ponents of tlielr respective newspaper
greatness are at war on the money ques
tion. Hear them;
Tbc Augusta Chronicle has a strong en
dorsement of John Sherman*. Unsocial

Augusta Chronicle.
it; and now that all the indications point
to a crop as large as that just harvested,
it is just as well for us to prepare our
selves to see cotton sell for less money
than ever before in the history of this
country.
The Times-Rkcohdeii is no croaker,
as its record abundantly proves; but as
tlio “prudent inan foresees tho evil and
hides himself," so it is but tlio part of
wisdom to prepare to meet emergencies
that are surely ahead.
The question therefore arises, what
are the farmers going to do witli the
8,000,000 or (1,000,000-bale crop that Is
now being grown?
As was stated on yesterday by the cot
ton merchant reported in The Timks-
Kkcokdeh, there will probably bo no
salo for the new crop until the surplus of
the old is exhausted; and a forced sale
means ruinously low prices, unless some
thing can be done to avort such a ca
lamity. To avoid the glut In tho first
ninety days of the now season, caused by
the now crop being forced on the mar
ket, it is absolutely necessarjr that the
cotton bo held back; and ns tbo Alliance
undertook last season to bold cotton for
higher prices; they should now, in tlio
face of a much graver situation, begin
the work of preparation for letting the
erop come into market only as needed.
True, this will bo a herculean task,
when the pressure of debt upon the pro
ducers is considered, but ruin will
overtake many of our pooror farmers
who have raised only cotton, unless by
an organized system the cotton is held
back for some months.
Hero is a greater work for tho alli
ance than anything else thoy can hope
to accomplish, and tiie various stato and
county alliances should begin now to.ar
range with banks and merchants for
such accommodations as will prevent a
glut in September and October.
The situation will likely bo snch that
forced saios mean ruin not only to the
producer, but to his creditor as well; for
if the cotton don't sell for enougii to
pay tbo debts, the creditor is left in the
lurch also. Tho latter cannot afford to
forco the farmer to sell at a sacrifice of
say fivo to six cents; so that tho logic of
the situation seems to demand a combi
nation between tbo farmer and liis cred
itor, wboreby for tbo mutual protection
an arrangement shall be made to hold
back tbo bulk of tbo new crop until a
demand at fair prices can arise.
The Tiues-Recohiieii docs not claim
that this can be accomplished witli thor
ough suecoss; but the gravity of tho situ
ation justifies the most strenuous efforts;
and tbo peoplo of the Soutii, and nlli-
anccmcn in particular, will be derelict
in a great duty If no effort is made to
forestall this evil.

Again has tho kaleidoscope of Sain
Small's genius turned; and ho now allows
up in Atlanta ns cdltor-ln-chicf of the
new evening paper, the Herald, which
starts off to-day for fame or tlie sheriff,
under tho auspices of a name rendered
famous In tlie past by tlio noted trio,
Alston, Grady and St. Clair Abrams.
Old Si,” as ho was familiarly known in
journalism ton years ago, lias just com
pleted the grand rounds, and lias been
everything from Mountebank to Bish
op; and having exhausted the
gamut of professions, starts just where
lie loft off, whore ho never should have
departed from; for Sam Small is a bettor
journalist than lie is anything else; and
ho is a (temporary) success at every
thing.
Tlie Herald is bound to be a brilliant
success if tlio cash holds out; which it is
fo.arod will not bo for long; as tho field
is already so fully occupied by tho Con
stitution mid the Journal that room for
another daily docs not scorn to exist.
The Times-Kecordkr welcomes the
Herald and the versatile Small and the
solid Carter into tlie ranks of Georgia
journalism; and wishes them all tlio un
bounded prosperity and success which
