The moat eloquent argument yet advanced in favor of the diversifi cation of crops in the south and the oonsequeut curtailment of the cotton crop is contained in the an- j nual statement issued by ivecreta-, ry Hester of the New Orleans Cot ton Exchange. Mr. Hester puts the average: commercial value of the crop at $25.08 per bale, against $28.62 last year, $86.76 the year before, and $41.09 in 1895-6, and the total val ue of the crop at $282,773,000, against $820,558,000 last year, and $820,926,000 the year before. He calls attention to the fact that the money value of the cotton crop ' just marketed is slightly under ' that, of the 1898-94 crop, which was 8,725,28 bales less, the value ' of the 1893-94 crop having been $288,118,000. These figures seem to demon strate to almost a mathematical certainty that the more cotton raised the less money for the cot ton raised. Inasmuch as the cot ton planters are presumably in the business for the primary purpose of making money rather than the raising of a record-breaking crop, it is time to take hold of this mat ter in a practical way. It appears from Mr. Hester's figures that the crop of 1893-94 brought about the same money returns as that of 1898-99, though it was 8,725,028 bales less. To raise this amount of cotton would require approximately 11,- 000,000 acres of land. Taking the average crop of wheat in the south that eight bushels to the acre, a low average, and a total of 88.000,000 bushels of wheat would have been added to the credit side of the account of the southern far mer, plus the difference in the cost of cultivation of 11,000,000 acres of wheat and the hay which could have been cut after the wheat crop had been harvested. This it must be remembered would have been clear profit, for as shown by Mr. Hester the same money was paid for the small as for the large cotton crop. His figures show further that this is not an isolated case. The crop for the year just ended was larger by uearlylOO.OOO bales than that of the previous year, and yet it brought nearly $40,000,000 less. It was 2,500,000 bales greater than the crop of 1896-97, yet was worth about $40,000,000 less to the men who raised it. In the face of facts like these there is but one sensible thing for the cotton planters of the south to do: Raise all the grain, meat and other products needed for home cousbmption at least, and then plant as much cotton in addition as can be properly handled. Under this system the number of bales of cotton will perhaps show less but the money returns will bo fully as great if not great er, and a much larger proportion of the amount received will be clear profit. This is not a matter for con gresses or conventions to settle. No formal pledge or agreement is necessary. Each farmer must work out. his own Balvation, and in view of the facts set forth, and that thero is hardly a community in the-south in which there is not one or more examples of farmers who have pursued this policy and prospered, it ought not to be long before the great majority of south ern farmers will be “living at home” and making cotton purely a money crop.—Macon Telegraph. FARMERS’ TRUST PKOPOIKD. County Cotton Mills ns Solution of the Question. Atlanta, Sept. 11. —Concerning the proposal to hold a cotton con vention in Atlanta during the State Fair, Oct. 25, Commissioner of Agriculture Stevens said today that one of the best solutions of the cottou problem was for the planters of the state to form coun ty combinations, and put into a trust fund 10 per cent, of their en tire cotton crop to be used in building in each county one or more cottou factories to dispose of their raw material. It was suggested that this 10 per cent, would, the first year, be sufficient to establish one factory in each senatorial district, and that in four years every couuty in the Btate would have a factory of sufficient capacity to utilize a large , part of that county’s crop, thus i insuring, not only better prices i for the remainder of the crop, but i also a good round sum in divi t, dendß each year from the invest . meut in the cotton mills, j This, in conjunction with the t plan for the bankers and mer ) chants to co-operate with the sar i mers iu holding their crops in , warehouses, distributing it only in 10 per cent, lots, thus preventing j the market from being overcrowd i ed, uppers to be the most feasible | plan to Commissioner Stevens to , solve the vexed problem that for i years has confronted the Southern ‘ cotton planters. Commissioner Stevens expects the questions and information , compiled by Capt. D. G. Purse, in regard to sugar cane produc i tion to-morrow. Capt. Purse : wrote tropi Indian Springs that he ! had sent them to Savannah to be 1 rewritten and then lu be forwarded here. Commissioner Steyeus will add s«cb other questions as Ve deems advisable ,apd will then 'send them out through the state. GWINNETT IN WHITE. [WAlton News and Messenger* Editor W.G. McNelley of Law renceville is to be congratulated, on his good work in last week’s iissue of his paper iu the direction of securing a white Democratic primary for the county. W hile it is rather early yet to begin the ag itation, it may be none too soon. There is a settled conviction in the minds of the best white peo ple that the negro vote must be excluded from the primary. That I this is true in Gwinnett is shown ! by McNelley who quotes in his pa per at least fifty of the most prom inent citizens of his county, favor ing a white primary. He says he interviewed them as he met them, and met only three out of the number who opposed a white pri unary. This is a good showing for Gwinnett and places her in the lead so far among countits to take the step essential to honest poli tics. The very sensible editorial in the News-Herald on this topic will be reproduced in our next is sue. So far as Walton is concerned we have this to say, that it is our belief that our people are as strongly in favor of a white pri mary as are the people of Gwin nett. Secondly, we suggest that about February court, the Demo crats hold a mass meeting in the court house and express their posi tion of this subject to the execu tive committee. The question has resolved itself to this: There is nothing to be lost by the white primary; there is everything to gain from it, hence we want it. XjOC-AJIj 3STET77-S. SUPERIOR COURT PROCEEDINGS.
