An exchange says that 4-cent cot¬

after plant about an ncreof cotton to
4 acres of other crops. A Iittlo
4-thought is all that is needed,
Down with so much cotton raising
and plant more corn, potatoes and
vegetables. Cotton is not tho only
staple that will bring money. Far¬
mers can easily got 50c. per bushel
for corn at this season of the year.
As every body knows that is true,
what will he get for it about next
May, or June? Ho can get almost
his own price.
An aged editor says: “Tho news¬
paper man is a slave. A street la¬
borer gets paid better for what he
does than the average newspaper
man. There is not a business or a
profession but brings better returns.
There is not a trade or business but
brings moro independence.” That's
going a little too far, but there is a
great deal of truth in it, too. Tho
newspaper man is theRiublio’s slave;
ho helps to make his neighbor rich,
and dies poor. He helps to elect can
d'.dates to fat salaries, gets a little j
patronage at starvation prices and i
waits till doomsday for his money.
Ho builds up churches, schools and
public institution, contributes his
mite to their support, and when they
x ba># paid i job i , work i. . to givo • out _ . they ,,
take it somewhere else, Ilo credits
a man two years for a
paper, and when he seuds the bill, the
man gets mad and quits. But why-
go on? That’s why all newspaper
men go to heaven, and why so many-
other sort miss connection on “tho
gospel train.”—Ex.
Death of Mrs. Palmer, of Dickey
News reached Morgr.n on late last
Thursday afternoon of the death of Mrs.
E. M. Palmer, of Dickey, who died at
her home on Thursday afternoon at 5
o’clock. Site itad been sick only a short
while before death claimed tier.
Mrs. Palmer was a nobleCbristian lady
and was well known throughout the
county. The news of her death will be
received by scores of frieuds iu Morgan
with the deepest sorrow.
t The remains of .Mrs. Palmer were in¬
terred in the Salem cemetery Friday
afternoon at 4 o’clock. To the bereaved
family and relatives of the deceased WO
join (he score of friends in their sym¬
pathy.
Cotton liaising; y*
(
The press all &Gr the South are
howling liiprTtimcs,’’and attributing
the presefjt financial slump to the
low price of cotton, all of which, n<.
doubt, is a correct summary ol the
situation.
Cotton lias been gradually falling
m price for the past six or eight
, years, each year being a little lower
| I T 1 0 r ’ ,ri <nl1 ^ finwler] * 7 ,
j through the bottom of the bucket,
and it has left a number of our
farmers in a bad fix, financially,
I ho bulk of their crop was planted
in (he “king staple” in hopes that it
would bring a good price, In its
production every possible economy
was used to make the cost of raising
as iittlo as possible, but when the
market ruled the price down I clow
the 4c. notch, it caused a deep sigh
of despair to rise within the bosoui
of thousands of Southern farmers.
Cotton is no longer king and at
present Hard Times is reigning in
its stead.
1 ho question which is on the lips
of our farmers to-day is: “What
shall we do? What shall we raise
that will bring us ready monoy?”
The answer is short. Plant less
cotton and moro subsistence. That’s
the whole thing iri a nut shell.
There is too much cotton raised.
The market is flooded and it can’t be
expected to bring a big price. The
farmer who raised less cotton and
moro corn this year is now smiling
at his loss fortunate neighbor who is
compelled to pay him 50o per bushel
for his corn.
If every bushoi of corn will put
50c. cash in your pocket at this sea
son of the yoar, what will it bring
next May or Juno whon tho product
becomes scarce? Thoir’s no question
about it. Hog and Ilominy will
succeed King Cotton, and reigi l su
promo on the glorious old throne,
while the latter will take a back seat
and watch the operation of its suc¬
cessor.
Nows From New Light.
“In tho sweat of thy faco slmlt thou
eat broad, ’till thou return unto the
ground.”
Thoabovo quotations were tho words
the Lord spoke to Adam and Evo as ho
h.d them to leave the garden of Eden.
And Ho intended it to all of their decond
t*ui». iu.twrttry in,. „ v ,.„ v OU(v
a duty alike to society and ourselves.
God has decreed that by tho sweat of
man’s brow shall ho oat bread. No
amount of riches, no love of pleasure, no
dictate for love, can confer on any ono
the right to lead an idle life. All of us
have some gifts, which wo are bound to
nso wisely for ourselves ami for man¬
kind. Mental toil is regarded as of a
higher nature than the bodily toil, but
I think that to be truly happy we must
labor habitually with our hands. Many
cheat themselves with tho delusion that
freedom from labor confers bliss. It is
the deceptive dream of millions. Ask
our wise men—those who aro looked
upon as tho successful meu of life, in
our cities and in tho country—those who
have risen to eminence by their own
works. They will all tell yon 'that tho
happiest hours of their life was the
period of industrious labor.
It is exceedingly gratifying to those
who favor the dispensary that through
all the pcstalenco that the anti-dospen-
sary men may throw at us, that we aro
to have it our n ay. And the anti-dispen¬
sary men will bo very much terrified if
they stay quite too much, don’t you
think.
