Every hotly olao knows that If oottcra ware produced as cnoaply s< oow, and could be sold at the prices which prevailed thou, that our farm' lag community would grow rich in a single year.

The cost of produc tion will atrudlly be naule less a* time passe*. We do not undertake to say what methods will lie employed, but the '.moHlgenoo of a very enterprising rare in' at work on the proMepi and there Is no reason why in dais depart ment tho cost shou'd not tie reduced just as it Is In every other de-pj.tniesg of pnflduution. In fact, a raluot.on in one department almost nectWrily en tails a reduction in others. The man who Invents a nwchtno which reduces the cost of producing a yard of cotton doth also reduces In the long .run the cost of producing a pound of cotton. We are In full sympathy with the distress width the prevailing low pr.ces of ooefon Has gro-uglvt upon the farm ing community of the South.

We reprint one passage In tout letter, because It applies, In cur opinion, with great force to many citi zens in our community who, while gen erally good citizens, have not a proper oontopKon of their nSatlons to tho city and Its government: toaxaaion la tho means of paying the expenses of government, and every taxable citizen la under legal and moral obligation to uav a Dart ot such ex penses. wither he votes or not; there are many Jmoetlv ladles) who pay tax who sto not' allowed to vote. The citi zen who think* that the tax ho la called on to txtv Is tlmnly the prloe he has to fuy -for the privilege of voting and decides hot to make the invest ment evodaa Me obligation to pay n debt he af Justly owee as any other debt. Yet very many good cltlzene who deoil no or tall'to tstv -tax on this Ides make It a business to abuse bad gov ernment <md demand good govern ment. when thev are not paying one oent for the exnenecs of any govern ment, good or bad. They heartily Join their friends sztd neighbors, who are paying the expense# ot bad govern ment, in the clamor for good govern ment. but are not willing to pay a stem tax of }3 a year (less than 1 cent a dwy) to secure good govern ment for their nclghlhon and thorn- selves. And. stnuure, to say, many ot these very men -are psnttoutarly dis pleased with the very bid condition of our streets, and do not spare their criticisms or dpnuncUttona. AU of tills Is true.

Today Is a rrgtatraidon day and there are only two more. Let every oidzen qualify himself to Tola. A GOOD START. The Southern Raflwny Company lias appureuilv token hold of the Immigra tion queaLoh with the d,(5era£n.ttioa to do evvryriilng passible to build up the country along its Hnes. Mr. M. V. Ktotiirik has been put at the head of the lmro'cretton, burara organized by the company, and is already ttt work. In a oirauktr whtah he addresses to the friends of progra* and enter- pa lee In the South, he soys: "The country tributary to the Ponth- s»a railway to Tull to replottoo of natu ral resources, which need only to be devetooed to produce Kraut wealth and enduring prosperity to Its ponscssen. There are the roost Ample opportuni ties for all classes of people, whether they be farmers, fruit crow ere. vine growers, (truck mrdenera. stock raisers, manufacturers, miners in cold, Iron and oo*l. lumbermen, meroh-ant*. me chanics or other business men. Tha country is fuH of InexbwusUbCe riches. Is capable of sustaining millions people, and Is the most inviting field for tazmlgraants Of any neotlon of our great country. The Southern Railway Company turn organized a land and Immigration demrtment for the ex press purpose of placing before Che public the advantages arid opportuni ties offered by the section ot the coun try tributary to its lines, with a view of Increasing the settlement and devel oping the Industries of -the states through which tt nasses. The company will Issue from time to time publiojttons giving general in formation ribout the country and wlJt Circulate them among the people who, for any reason, may be contemplating a change of looytKm. These publica tions will o-waken interest In those who read ahem, and will call for de tailed arid specific Information con cerning the ODDortuhytfes offered in the various localities, and tt to to be hoped, os tt Is ardently and earnestly desired, will secure the co-opera-tlcot of ail rite peonie interested, as all Should be. To this end circulars. DAmnhlets, papers, etc., setting forth the advantages of particular sections will be available auxiliaries. - Tkxi innri.gr.adon which libs built up tbe West wtttt such exftruoriliiciry raipidity had Its chief moving cause In tlio efforts of the new iu.Uvwda In that part at the country. The ngents of the** ra/ilrajd* flooded Europe with htoMiitm <dnw1ng the advantages of the country through wlilch they ran, and lu every way worked energetic ally to Induao people to settle along toe rouds. They tflso worked tn the East, and tho effect Is easily seen. Southern roads have been backward In undertaking this bind of work, i’er- li;i.pe they, felt that they would not reot-lve -the kind of support necessary from the people. At any talte, with one or two exoeprions, no serious ef fort lias been made by Southern roads to develop immigration. Wo weicome toe change of policy indicated by the action of ttie Souriiom Railway Oom- pany with a grant deal of pleasure. Voluntary or&inlaatttons of citizens extn do much to aid In the good cause by Hhowlng tlu-t popular sentimcjjt in this section favors Immigration, but the beat practical work must be ex pected from the railroad* themselves. They are in a batter position to do ef fective work than, voluntary organiza tions. Tholr profit In itmnlgr.vtion is immediate, and, having undertaken to secure it. as a business, tt is reasonable to look for better mane gam em- and ex pect quicker returns.

I read an Interview In the Constitu tion a few days ngo which does an Injustice to a man who Is doing more to develop this section arid State and to bring more neoole here than any ocher man tn Che state. The Interview, was with Hon. C. C. Grey of -Houston counts-, In which he said; "A little trio ot Governor Norihen’s, In Which lie was accompanied by Hon. J. B.

She about fifty-five years of age, but beam her yearn so well -that she might paas -for oadrty-five. She belongs to a diststag-uished .Manchurian family, and shows her descent in her high cheek bones and feoituree that are marked, from a Oaiiwae point of view. She has remarkably large and handsome -eyes, a very hu.ppy and genial expression, and very attractive manners, she is re lated to Chtwsg-Tae-Tung, the vloiro-y of the river provinces. She has received a much better- education than do the ma jority of Chinese Indies of rank, and, nhan-kB to the ii-beral views of her hue- band, prosecuted her studies after her mantoge. As tar back ae 1880 she was said by some of the missionary doctors -stationed at Tien-Tsin to have a good knowledge of both Chinese and Euro pean medicine, and to be better inform ed upon general topics than two-thirds of (the mandarins. Like her husband She (has always liad considerable admiration for West ern civilization, and has -made a prac tice ot gathering Information respect- tog the foreign barbarians. ■Before the French war she wasttaken very sick with a complication of dis eases. and after being treated several months -by the leading physicians of the capital was given up by them to die. In -these atralts she (tad the vice roy called In a male and female phy sician belonging- to the American Board of Foreign -Missions, who -were so skillful end also so fortunate as to preserve her life and in the course of a year to restore her former health and strength.

LI Hung Chang commemorated Ms gnatttude by fitting up a general dispensary in Tlen-Tsln. which -he presented to the mission, while Lady LI. not to be out done in her appreciation of the skill tilrat she find enjoyed, established a eeoond, especially for women, and placed It entirely In oharge of the -American lady phyelclan who had at tended her. Both before and after her sickness she has granted audiences to scores of American and Europeah ladles, a privCeoe -that is not accorded by more than one In a- thousand ladles belonging to the nobility. Ltdy LI lives with her husband at Tlcu-Tsin, recur the banka of the Pei Ho river. In an establishment -that Is famous tor Its wealth olid splendor. The viceroy is one of Ithie rldhcrt men In China, and allows her almost carte bltocfce in her personal expenditures, Alt-whed to the palace rur-e her own grounds, gardens, aquaria and fish porta. -Hero she and the other ladles of the household hold their own court one live In great style and luxury. She has a fine troop of Imperial peacocks, a famous collection of song birds and beautiful fishes und a botanical col lection of Ccmarkablo beauty and dt- m.ns tons.
