RAISE LESS COTTON.
The Leeaon Taught by the Recent
Rj.ee in Ita Price.
THE MARKET FEVERISH
Kcciiiimc of Speculation—'4'lie Hunger
of Overftroduci inn Jiexl
won to be Avoided..
The Baltimore Manufacturers Rec
ord thinks that the recent great risein
the price of cotton may prove a good
not unmixed with evil because of the
amount of feverish speculation it has
produced, atiti the great activity in
marketing the crop.
The Record is correct in its belief
that the rapid rise in the price of cot
ton may prove an evil, as well as a
good to the farmer, but The Argus
differs with it as to the reasons why
the rise in price may prove an evil.
The Record’s reasons are valid and
true, but they do not cover the ground.
The greatest cause for the fear that
the present high price of cotton will
work evil to the farmer is the dread
that it may stimulate the farmers to
plant more cotton next spring, and
cause a glutted market next year. The
greatest evil the farmer has to dread is
overproduction, and a consequent low
market. *
Up to Saturday, November 26, the
total cotton receipts were 3,301,431
bales against 4,482.100 bales up to the
same date last year. These figures
tell the tale. The high price of cotton
just now is due to the small crop, and
the democratic victory, and not to
any feverish excitement in cotton
speculation. Cotton speculators may
affect the market for a time, but they
cannot effect a substantial and perma
nent rise in the price of the staple.
That can be decided by the laws of
supply and demand alone.
That being no, the farmers of the
south should hied the lesson taught.
They should not plant too much cot
ton ; they must diversify their crops if
they wish to be prosperous. An over
production in the cotton crop next
year would be fatal.
Raise less cotton and get more
money for it. Raise more hog and
hominy and keep the n-.oaey that you
get for your cot ton at home. That is
the keynote of the farmer’s success.

faculty of getting on the right side of
almost all questions, and this, together
with his indefatigable energy, and dispo
sition to never give up until he has air|

renders him a very effective legislator
The Atlanta Constitution and several
other state papers are very high in their
praises of his work and ability and it i K
with pride that The Argus reads their
connnendatiuns of Whitfield’s rising son-
Every man, woman and child in these

is a genial, clever
young man, and is the accomplished gen

a member of the last house, and made
such an enviable reputation in that body,
that the people of his section, recognizing
his merits, returned him to the senate in
October last.
Mr. Wooten is a son of Hon. Council
