The ooitou.gruwer computus of
the narrow mnrgin the cotton
brings him iviien cotnpnrod with
what the cotton c.vst him, and lie
longs and waits, and speculates for
higher prices. Ilis true policy is to
decrease the exj enses that a'.tteuds
growing cotton, by providing, first,
for growing and raising all the neu
essnrios Ins farm will produce, then
utting ii what cotton lie can be
iiocs. If his cotton fails lie will not
"'ani, if it produco well he "ill make
money. No demonstration can be
mure complete, no truth more ob
vious. yet custom, a lazy dislike to
change, a disyosition to slip ou in
tee old grooves without thought,
plan, or effort, keeps the planter
poor and a slave to his factor. It
will be well, however, for the easy
slider to remember tha‘, in the end,
ho who will not produce supplies
for his own wants will have to sell
to those who will.

value of money between the dates
November 1, 1878, and November 1

The capital to be added m the south
daring the next two year-, employed in
mining, manufacturing and agricnltnre,
will multiply the resources of thatection
in an unexampled ratio. The census of
1890 will surprise even the most sanguine
optimists.
Baltimore Airericrm-
The tenth census sets at rest any appre
hensions which may have existed ns to
the tendency of farming in the United
States since the change from slave to lreo
labor. We will never have in Irish ten
ant system in the south. The laud is
going to be tilled by its owners.

W hen every acre in tbo cotton states
shall yield as many pounds ot cotton ns
it can -when every pound ot cotton that
is raised is paid for—when every ton of
seed goes to tbo enriching of the soil
that has produced it. or pays its share in
some form of its debt to the owner and
raiser ot the crop—when the day of high
interest shall cease, and when the farmer
shall bo able to osoape from the hands
of the commission merchant and to buy
his goods as cheaply as can the wheat
grower of the northwest, then the statis
tics of tha cotton goods trade of the world
wili show other facts than are now pre
sented. Then elieap raw cotton will be a

The suggestion ot u meeting of

Iu Georgia the receipts were $238,-

Mr Gaskins, of Coffee county a
member of tho late Legislature, has
sued the city of Ahuntu for SIO,OOO
as damages received from a runa
way horse while attending the ses
sion of the General Assembly. How
any member of that body could be
