■yp Cotton Prospect!, The world’s visible supply of ootton is 1,100,000 bales, or 25 per cent, less than it was last year. This ought to mean that if the crop next fall is 1,100,000 bales larger than last year’s crop, prices will be maintained. Giv ing the sooth its percentage this would indicate that a crop of 8,000,- 000 bales next fall would be worth as much per poued as the 7,000,000 bale crop of last year. It is not at all probable, however, that with a crop of 8,000,000 bales cotton would command as good a price as it brought last year. The prices of agricultural products are steadily going downward. There are a few excep tional years, but as a rule a little must be taken from the price of one year in estimating prices that under similar crop conditions will prevail the next. In the south the cotton shortage was due partly to a decreased acreage, and partly to the unfavorable conditions for growth. The southern farmers will tnake a great mistake if they increase their cotton acreage. For an average year the acreage last year would have produced 8,000,000 bales. An increase of acreage this year would make a crop of 9,000,000 or 10,000,000 bales not improbable, and that would mean only four or five cents a pound for cotton. If the yield of this year’s crop is no larger than, that of last, good prices will prevail—as good as last year’s prices, if not better. The smaller vis ible snpply at time of planting ought to give us better prices with a crop of the same volume. A larger increase, however, will again make the ootton crop a loss.—Exchange.

BITS OF NEWS GATHERED FROM OVER THE STATE, Being a Summary of Interesting Hap penings From Day to Day: The supreme court handed down its decision a day or two ago in the case of C. P. Byrd against H. C. I'esples, reporter of the supreme court, and the Franklin Printing and Publishing company. In the decision the finding of the court was reversed. j. * * * General Manager Julian R. Lane, of the Macon and Birmingham railroad, is working to establish a mail line over his road from Macon to LaGrange. Congressman Bartlett, of Maoon, and Congressman Moses, of the foartb, in which districts the road is, and Sena tor Bacon will be called upon to use their energies for this line. * • * A Washington special says: Strenu ous efforts are being made to bring abont a union between the two patri otic organizations known as the Sons of the Revolution and the Sons of the American Revolution, respectively. These efforts will be brought to a fo cus at the general meeting of the Sons of the Revolution, to be held in Sa vannah, Ga., on the 20th instant. The western and southern chapters are strongly in favor of the movement. State School Commissioner Glenn is preparing for the session of the sum mer institutes, and will shortly issue a circular locating them. He has anew plan for institute work this season, which promises to work out very suc cessfully. From the different teachers of note throughout the state he has re ceived papers on methods. These will be printed and issued out to the va rious institutes. The commissioner is preparing for ‘ a large gathering of teachers at Indian Spring. The big gest convention will be held on Cum berland. * * * The coming lease of the Northeast ern railroad is an interesting matter to the citizens of Athens. The magnifi cent management of the road by Gov ernor Atkinson, State Agent Reeves and all the employes of the road, baa convinced the public that it is a pay ing investment. It is known - that two companies in Atlanta have been form ed to make bids for the lease of the road, also that there is a strong Athens company after it. It is also reported that parties in New York are anxious to make a pur chase of the road, but the governor has no authority now to soli unless it is conferred on him by the next legis lature. Meanwhile the road continues to prosper. * * * Money for Mercer. Mercer university is just $13,000 richer than she was a day or two ago on account of a decision handed down by the supreme court, affirming the decision of the lower court in the case of Martin and Thompson, executors, against the trustees of Mercer univer sity. This university is the largest Baptist Bchool in the south and is one of the oldest institutes of learning in the country. Dr. A. J. Cheney who lived in East Point for a number of years, died and left an estate worth about $150,000. He was a great friend to Mercer and stipulated in his will that the residue of his estate after a certain number of behests were made should go to the college. Some trouble arose over the division of the money, a con test arose and the matter was taken to the courts. * * * A Fine Fruit Year. Commissioner of Agriculture Nesbitt thinks that Georgia will yield an enor mous fruit crop this season. In addition to the reports which have come to him from all sections of the state he has recently made a visit to southwest Georgia, where he inspected the crops and examined generally the agricultural prospects for this year. “I was much struck.” he said, “with the fruit conditions about Albany. The people in that part of the state have recently gone into the business very heavily, and I think will make a success of it, They are awaiting very anxiously the decision of the United States supremo court in the case ar gued some time ago by Attorney Gen eral Terrell and Judge Allen Fort, re garding the rates for fruit transporta tion. No decision has yet been made, and from present prospects it will be delayed until the gathering of the crop and its shipment. “Crops of all kinds are in good con dition throughout the section I visit ed. Cotton is up in most places, and there is generally a good stand of corn. We had an enthusiastic farmers’ meet ing at the courthouse in Bainbridge. I find the people there enthusiastic over the Chicago cotton exposition.” * * * For Uniform Cotton Bales. At a meeting of representatives of South Atlantic cotton exchanges in Augusta a few days ago, the matter of uniform baling was acted upon. Reso lutions were adopted recommending: First—That producers, ginners and packers use bagging weighing not less than 2 nor more than 2 1-4 pounds to the yard, tho bagging to be woven and cal tendered to allow for clear and dis tinct marking. Second—Six ties to the bale of ma terial weighing not less than 45 nor more than 50 pounds to bundle of 30, II to 111 feet in length. Third—Farmers and manufacturers urged to conform to these recommenda tions. Fourth—That compressed bale have ship’s side density of 22$ pounds cubic foot and 8 hands weighing an average of 2 1-8 pounds per band. Fifth—That sample-hole patch be used in compressment of bales. Sixth--That railroads decline to re- To Collect an Exhibit. As president of the Southern States Exposition Company of Georgia, com missioner of Agriculture Nesbitt has entered upon the collection of objects to be placed upon display at the Chicago Cotton exposition, and within a few weeks will have everything in shape for the preparation of the big gest display ever sent out from the state. The result of the convention which met in Atlanta several days ago gave an impetus to the movement wbioh will cause every county in Georgia to begin work for the Chicago show. Commissioner Nesbitt willanuounoe the vice presidents of the company, which, according to a resolution pass ed before the convention,he has power to do. A vice president will be ap pointed for every congressional dis trict in the 6tate. These officers will have general supervision of the collec tion of exhibits from the territory over which they preside. They will look to the organization of the counties and see that each one will send on rep resentative display. Commissioner Nesbitt has a big task before him. He has assumed charge, however, and will in every way pro mote the interests of the state agricul turally and otherwise in the collection of the exhibit. The work of getting fnnds in hand for the purpose of carrying forward the enterprise will begin immediately. Every county in the state will be re quested to appropriate SIOO, and every town with more than 1,000 inhabitants will be asked to contribute the same amount to the representation of the state at Chicago. From all of the larger cities big appropriations will come, and with these amounts a suffi cient sum will be realized to carry out the purposes of the exposition. An interesting question will arise over the attempt to take the Georgia state exhibit which was on display at the Cotton States and International exposition to the Chicago fair. At a recent session of the geological board the question was raised ns to whether it would be well%to take the Georgia state exhibit on. It was discussed for some time and finally decided that it would not be advisable to let the ex hibit go on. Sinoo the convention, however, a reversal of opinion has taken place, and it is probable that the decision of the board Will be reconsidered. This display in itself will be a feature if sent on to Chicago. It won the plaudits of the most scientific experts at the Cotton States and International expo sition. Professor Yeates is now con structing a stato museum and using this exhibit as a nucleus. It is the purpose of those who are in charge of collecting the exhibit for Chicago to secure this state exhibit. This will probabiy be done in a few days. JOIN T DEBATES ARE OFF. Judge Crisp Still Suffers from Throat Troubles. Son. Charles F. Crisp has cancelled all his dates to speak in the state with Secretary Smith for tho present. Mr. Crisp was compolled to cancel his engagement to meet Secretary Smith at Griffin on account’of hoarse ness and now all debates have been called off and his campaign brought to a temporary end at least. There was a rumor afloat that the ex-speaker was very ill and had been stricken with heart disease. The rumor grew as it spread until it had Mr. Crisp almost at the point of death. A profound sensation was created. But the life of the ex-speaker is in no immediate danger. He feels, how ever, that he needs rest and recupera tion and has decided to discontinue his campaign until sometime in May at least. Mr. Crisp complains of a pain in his chest in the region of his heart, which he says becomes more intense whenever he exerts himself in the least, but the attending pbysiciau saju3 that there is no present indica tion of heart disease, but told Mr. Crisp that he would have to abandon his speaking contest for the present. REMEMBERED THE CHURCHES. The Will of Tobacconist John Pope Probated. The will of Mr. John Pope, vice president of the American Tobacco company, was probated in the Henrico circuit court at Richmond, Va., Tues day. The estate is valued at $1,750,- 000, and the bulk of it is left to Mr. Pope’s brother and three sisters. There are bequests of from SI,OOO to $5,00C to a number of churches and charitable institrtions. The Quinine Trade. Quinine extracting has undergone a vast change within the past thirty year. The extraordinary demand for the drug incident to the war raised its price for a while up to over $3 an ounce. Two great Philadelphia firms at that time had a monopoly of its man ufacture. Three firms, with New York as their central sales places, are now engaged in the manufacture of sulphate of qui nine and its cognate salts. The duty has been removed, and foreign quinine competes in this market. Despite the fact that foreign manufacturers can get the need bark at their own doors, and that American manufacturers are compelled to buy their bark in London or Amsterdam and pay freight to this country, the product of the latter has still preference among American physi cians. Still vast amounts of foreign quinine find a market here. Three years ago foreign manufacturers found them selves overloaded with the drug, and sought au outlet for their surplus here. Over 3,000,000 ounces were en tered at this port, which was an in crease of- three-quarters of a million ounces beyond the importations of any previous year. It wrought much dis turbance, and the price was hammered down until twenty-seven cents per ounce was touched. That was low water mark*. It has taken nearly two AGRICULTURAL. TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE TO FAR3I AND GARDEN. SETTING HENS AND CHICKS. A reader residing at Bogota, N. J., writes to us asking if we can enlight en him as to the best way to fix a nest for a setting hen, and how to keep the nests and hens free from vermin. He would also like to know what is the best thing to feed the young chicks. First, the setting hen and nest. Any place where it is quiet and rather dark will be suitable. There must be a way in which the hen can leave her nest at intervals to drink, eat and give herself a dusting. When setting thei hen sprinkle the nest with some Persian insect powder. This will keep away the lice. How to feed the little chieks is something that is rather hard to tell, ns there are so manv different rules followed out by well known and suc cessful poultrymen. Some, as first feed, give a bard boiled egg crumbled up, and after one or two days to this is added corn meal, until at the end of the first week the chicks find themselves depending en tirely upon the earn meal for exist ence. Others vary from this in feeding al most everything that the little ones can be made to eat, as this furnishes a variety, and to this variety of food they attribute their success. For the past few years we have had What might be called remarkably good success, as we have lost but a very slight percentage of our chicks from sickness or poor feeding. Our plan is a very simple one and quite easy to carry out. As soon as the ohioks break their way through the shell we remove them to a basket that is filled with flannel and kept at an agreeable tem perature by being set behind the kit chen slove. we are suro that all the fertile eggs have hatched we burn both the neat and shells, and put the old hen out in the chiokea for a few minutes for dusting and recrea tion. The hen and chicks are then placed in a small house, away from our matured poultry, and are then given all the water and common oat meal whioh they care to have. This is all that is given them, and improbable as it may seem, we Jmve never lost a chick from bowel disease. This manner of feeding might not snit some, but we can hardly go back on our past experience and do not hes itate in recommending it.—New York Witness, TENDENCY TO COSTLY IMPROVEMENTS. A noteworthy instance of the tend-* ency of farmers to costly improve* meuts and machinery for the purpose of saving time that ia mostly very cheap to them is the tuggest’ion to in troduce the quiok-baruessiug arrange ments used in fire engine stables in cities, so that fifteen minutes might be saved in the harnessing of the farm team. Tho ingenious innovator on old habits might justly have added to this suggestion that in going to the fields the farm team should gallop at its swiftest pace, as the fire laddies train their horses to do, to save an other fifteen minutes. It is a slow person who must take fifteen minutes to harness a farm team, if tho harness is conveniently hung ou pegs so that all this time need not be wasted in disentangling the traces and the lines all tangled because tho harness was •imply thrown on the floor in a mixed heap to save tho time expended in hanging it in a proper manner. We have too many time savers now, that actually cost many times as much money as the time saved is worth. Economy seems to have ran rather wild of late, and has jumped the fences and got away from the driver. This is a grand virtue, doubtless, but it has its price and value, and, like gold, it may be bought too dearly at times. We have often been tola of the farmer whose little farm of thirty acres is well tilled by means of tools and imple ments that cost S3OOO, not to mention a large shed in which" to keep them, at stated times to preserve them in good condition. With allowance for wear and tear and the short life of these tools and machines, and the care and honsing of them, the whole will easily come to the total annual outtay of S3OO a year. It is vary questionable if this alleged model farmer makes so much profit out of the investment, and if it would not be a saving of money to him to work his little farm with the common tools which would not cost S6O. A simple home-made harrow oultivator, costing less than $3, will do qnite as good and qhiok Work as any of the costly weeders that are sold for several times as much money. Sometimes it is the practice of the makers of imple ments to present them to well known farmers who have the ear of the publio as writers in the agricultural journals, or as paid speakers, and well paid, too, at the institutes, and the practice of Hose to whom the machines are presented for trial, as alleged, to vaunt them highly and to increase the sales of them. And, although the machined may be excellent for their several pur poses, yet it is unquestionable that hundreds of farmers are induced to buy them when they really have no use for them, and are unable to afford the expense. It is muoh the same in regard to fertilizers and other things of the farm. Of course, all this greatly -increases expenses, without adding to the income.—New York Times. FARM AND GARDEN NOTE*.

The 6tory of Mr. Tabor’s nearly fatal at tack of sciatic rheumatism Is familiar to hts largo circle of acquaintances, but for the benefit of others and those similarly afflicted The Gazette has investigated the matter for publication, Mr. Tabor is Secretary and Treasurer for the Commercial Printing Com pany, with offices in the Hedge Blook and resides at 417 Basset Street, Burlington, ta. A Gazette man sought an interview with Mr. Tabor at his place of business to-day, and, although he was busily engaged with im perative duties, ho talked freely and feel ingly on the subject of his recent severe sick ness and subsequent wonderful cure. “Yes,” said Mr. Tabor, “I can safely say that I am a well man, that is, ray old trouble with rheumatism has entirely disappeared, but I am still taking Pink Pills and will keep on taking them as long as I continue to grow stronger and healthier, as 1 have been every day since I began to use them. You will not wonder at my profound faith in the mer its of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple after you have heard what I have to tell you. About one year ago I was stricken suddenly with sciatic rheumatism aud Was confined to my bed. It grew worse and rap idly assumed the form of inflammatory rheu matism. I suffered constant and acute pains and all the tortures whioh that horrible dis ease is capable of Inflicting. At length un der the constant care of. a local physician I was enabled to return to my work, but only at intervals. Severe attacks would appear regularly in my back and descend Into my leg and foot, and threatened to make me a permanent cripple. I tried various remedies for rheumatism, but without any beneficial results. I grew pale, weak and haggard, and my family and friends grew alarmed at my condition. “About eight weeks ago my mother in duced me to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and you know the result. Be fore I had used one box I felt greatly re lieved and much stronger. I continued their use and improved rapidly. I have now taken eight boxes and feel iike anew man and completely cured, all of which is due to the effieaoy of Pink Pills. They are invigorating and thoroughly wholesome, and have helped me in every way.” In reply to inquiries Mr. Henry, the drug gist, statod that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills were having a large sale, that it was particu larly gratifying to htm to know that the cus • tomers themselves were highly pleased with the benefits they had derived from their use; that many of them stated that the pills were the only medium that had done them any good; that they not only gave quick relief, but permanent benefit. That the pillsdosell and that the pills do cure is a certainty. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in a con densed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such a3 suppressions, irregularities and all forms of weakness. In men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of Whatever nature.
