Prospects for the Coming Crop.
Cotton Trade Journal.
Few questions puzzle one more
than an answer to the question
whether it is easier to underdo or
overdo a thing. When there is a
bull boom in a great product the
invariable rule is to overdo the
thing before it ends, with no sort
of searchlight doing the work
that must ultimately be done by
outright disaster and reduction
to circumstances that applies the
brakes with sufficient pressure to
restore reason and normal speed,
As it is in investing and specula¬
ting so it is in the cultivation of
products that are the subjects of
undue .inflation. The overdoing
generally goes the rounds, and
never stops until many concern¬
ed but their heads into the
ground.
The cotton planters of the
South are confronted with the
questions whether they will over¬
do production, for there is no
danger of Undergoing it. Re¬
ports that large acreage is to be
put in upland cotton points with
certainty to a return of the star¬
vation prices for cotton, if not
next season, then later, for with
favorable weather it will be but a
matter of time until the reaction
comes. There is absolutely no
assurance that if a big acreage
is planted next season this will
not be the case, while there is
every assuiance that if the pace
set in recent years of diversifying
crops is followed prices will bo
maintained and a good margin of
profit left for all.
Unless our Southern planters
pursue wise policies about their
acreage Europe may as well stop
spending money in her endeavors
to encourage the cultivation of
cotton in her colonies, for it will
be but a short time until the Uni
ted States will have plenty of low
priced cotton. Some statements
require qualification, but the pre¬
diction that low prices for cotton
and demoralization will follow if
all planters plant it needs none.
The press is sounding a note of
warn. By diversified farming
cotton has risen in price, and it is
to be hoped that as soon as it is
firmly intrenched that its protec¬
tion will not be taken away from
it by the planters who are them¬
selves the beneficiaries.
The rule to follow is this: Put
a few acres in cotton and culti¬
vate that well. Give the balance
of your lands to other crops.
Don’t plant all cotton.

OUR HOME IN 1864
By Warren P. Ward in Coffee County
Gazette.
A pine knot fire blazes on the
hear tli.
A widow puts her three orphan
boys to bed. She is busy with
her spinning wheel as roll after
roll is drawn into finest thread.
The night is cold. Above the
whir of the wheel could be heard
the moan of the cold wind on the
outside.
At last the broach is finished
and sht?turns aside to make up
the fire and see that the children
are covered and warm. Two boys
lie on a bed made down on the
floor and they get attention first.
She puts her busy hands on their
heads and then cautiously feels
of their feet Tu rning away from
these, she goes to her own bed
where the baby boy lies asleep
snug and warm. When each
child had received attention she
goes back to the wheel to spin
and to think. The wheel turns
round and the cotton turns into
finest thread. She stares vacant¬
ly at the lire and occasionally at
her work.
Just four years before, her
husband went to the war and
never came back. Great tear
drops came to her eyes as she
thought of him and kept watch
over his boys. Her eyes grew
dimmer and dimmer and the
wheel turned slower and slower.
Soon the wheel and the widow
stood still. A tired hand hung
heavy on the wheel and a great
burden on the widow’s heart.
Neither could move.
The wind was still, the fire
burned low and not a sound was
heard.
The widow prayed. The bur¬
den was lifted from her heart;
strength came to her hand ; the
wheel started, and music with
with the wheel. Song after song
she sang; and prayer after pray¬
er she said.
Late at night mother and chil¬
dren were all asleep. But one
little boy did not sleep till his
mother lay down. He heard the
busy wheel and cold winds out¬
side : saw his mother’s tears and
heard his mother’s prayers. The
tire—the wheel—the woman—the
boy. As long as I live and win¬
ter winds blow will I remember
the spinning wheel and my
mother’s prayers in the long
ago.
WANTED.
We would like to ask through the col
ums of your paper, if there is any per¬
son who has used Green’s August Flower
for tlie cure of Indigestion, Dyspepsia
and Liver Troubles that has not been
cured—and we also mean their results,
such as sour stomach, fermentation of
food, habitual costiveness, nervous dys
pepsia, headaches, despondent feelings,
sleeplessness—in fact, any trouble con¬
nected with the stomach or liver? This
medicine has been sold for many years in
all civilized countries, and we wish to
correspond with you and send yon one
of our books free of cost. If you never
tried August Flower, try a 25c bottle
first. We have never known of its fail¬
ing. If so, something more serious is
the matter with you. The 25 cent size
has just been introduced this year. Reg¬
ular size 75. At all Druggists.
