We can show that it I fair; moreover, as the greater portion of the cotton crop is produced by the small farmers, the ? success of an organization of farmers for crop reduction is def pendent on their cooperation, t Another 13,000,000 bale crop f this year will certainly run prices r down to six cents. Such a surc plus cannot bo warehoused. The i expansion of foreign markets cani not he secured by next winter. ' So, after cultivating and picking - the crop it will sell for not more 1 than $30 a bale or #390,000,000. - On the other band a 10,000,000 I bale crop will, in all probability, i be marketed for #50 a bale, or ; #500,000,000. The expense of s cultivation and picking will be f much less than the cost of producs ing the larger crop and the ucs tual sale price of the ten million i halo crop will be #110,000,090 - greater. t Now if 13 bales represented the 3 full ciop of a small farmer plantr ing to provide his quota of a #13,000, bale crop, and the price was six cents per pound, he would sell for #390. If however, he r reduced acreage and planted to 9 produce ten bales, or his quota of 1 a ten million bale crop, his return t at ten cents a pound, would be t *500. ?o by reducing his cotton 1 acreage, the vmall farmer would - save the expense of producing ^ three bales of cotton and would make #110 more than if he had p growu the full crop. And if he . planted in supply crops the acrei age representing his cotton reduction, his profit would be even ? greater. This is depondent, of course, . on lIlP fni'lllpra j v?o PVdllMIII^ lUgClUOl r and taking advantage of their op portunities. If they view the mattei in the light of a cut throat game, everj man for himself and poverty for all, there is nothing in the calculations.?The State. ' Parr Likely to Pay Doath Penalty.

Southern Wreck Hear St George Four of ihe Crew Killed and Three Injured.?No Passengers Hurt. Special to The State. Charleston, April 2. ?Passenger tmin No 15 ?>f the Southern railway collided vith an incoming I extra freight at 4.40 o'clock this i morning between St George and C5 P Budhnm, causing ttie death of four of the crow and the probable death of a fifth man. The dead are; Engiuecr T M Con ion nrul Fireman John Adams, colored, of the passenger train, and Hrakemiin H H Stokes and Thomas .Johnson, colored of the ft eight train. Engineer A T Heed of the freight train was fatally injured, the lower part of his body and legs being pinioned between tbe i tender and boiler, frightfully j mangled anil burned by escaping | stoam. Engineer *Conion suffered the loss of his arms, bis forehead was crushed in and he was otherwise frightfully mangled. Adams and Johnson were also literally torn to pieces, while Stokes seem ed to have jumped from his train and been killed by the hreakiug of his neck. His left ear was cut off. All the men are of Charleston. Their bodies, with the exception of Johnson's, which was still buried under the wreck, were brought to Cbar'esion about 1 o'clock on a special train which bad been sent out for the purpose. Johnson's body will probably be brought down later tonight or tomorrow. Engineer Reed's body could not be moved. The bodies were met at the depot by Undertaker McAlister and carried to hie establishment where they were prepared for the homes of the deceased. Conion leaves a widow and six children; Stokes a wido? of less than a year married, ^and a young infant, and Adams also leaves a family. ? t Letter <o S. T. Blackmon. Lancaster, S. 6. Dear Sir : Porterhouse, 60 mucn ; necc, so much ; all tbe way between. Just so with paint. Devoe lead and zinc is the porterhouse. Nobody wants the neck ; the between, some say, is good enouph for them. But Devoe co9ts le99, not more, than between. Lead-and-oil is between ; it is the old-fashion paint. But zinc has come in.? Zinc toughens white lead. Devoe leadand-zinc is the paint that wears twice as long ns lead-andoil. Mr. John N. Deitel, Fair Haven, N. Y., writes : "Mr. Charles Hollenbeck, ot this place, painted bis house three years ago with Devoe lead-and-zinc: bin father painted at the same time with lead-an.l-oil. Today the eon's bouse looks as well as the day it wa* painted, while tbo father's bouse bus all chalked off and needs painting very badly. The father suys he will paint wiih Devoe next time."
