A Dotcpihe HIho in the Great 8t? ?Helping (u Increuse the Acrcagt To tho Cotton Growers of the South Hon. Hector D. Lane, president the American Cotton Growers' l'rot tivo Association, has issued the foil* iug address: I wish to call the uttention of 1 cotton growers to the strategic ino' :nent being made by cotton manipu tors to delude them into the suici< act of planting again a large acred in cotton. That uneasiness has Ik felt in Liverpool for some time in ferenco to a decreased acreage g< without suying, and hud this mem not existed, cotton sales would lie been lower than thev have been : a now, k& the end of the season is hand and the ample is subtantially < of tho hands of the fanners, those t lumen vbo have represented the in eiemeul for so many months while c ton wus moving iu large volumes, 11 resort to the trick of running vali up simply as a device to induce t furiuor to ulant more cotton than c possibly be attended to. I warn the farmers of the South tl the price of the last few days is lie tious, it is the product of a conspiru to systematically defraud the pi duccrs of their legitimate profits, is a delusion and a snare to catch t unsuspecting farmer, to inveigle h into tiie toils of another three mil I i hale surplus so that they can bear doi values lower than last season with increased surplus on hand. Let the people beware; it is a hi to catch those who will bite. The is no legitimate reason shown for tl rise ol values. The production c ceedcd the most sanguine ex peel tion. Russia lias placed a virtual prohibitive duty on American cotti so wo can no longer expect to sell li 500,000 bales. There can be 110 clian made next season in the financial la of the nation. Therefore where is tl legitimate cause for the rise, if cott has been seiliug at legitimate figure; It is simply the old "spider and 11 game, a recurrence of the farmer ai the " bunco stoeror,'' ami I am co .-.trained to exclaim " How long, u Lord ! how long !". In it to be ev thus that our people are to he waylu and robbed of their meagre subs tenee ? I ileny the proposition ami defy tl man who made it. that any many ci produce cotton legitimately for ."> eer with any reasonable profit, and I sta advisedly and emphatically that tl Southern cotton grower,? I mean I orally the man who digs the groun the unfortunate who " pulls the hi cord over the mortgaged mule,"? not realizing 1-cents a day for his I bor the year around.

Tiie reason tiiat I didn't- eoutiuue to lant the Spanish pimlar.-. was tha* I hat very winter I turn id fool, and I nay he it was because I bad so much laeon, quit farming and moved to own. lint if I were on a farm again aisiiig Spanish pindars and bogs it j voiild tako a loud, rami ustronger call J ban I have ever got yet to get me oil j ?f it. Talk about pitying the poor far- j tiers, the poor town preachers are the Hies to pity. Oh, how I long in these lard times l-o he a farmer again sing11 jg as I used to do. so sweetly, a i'inlarie oik1 of the Spanish variety sort. think I must have made on that qiutrer of an acre forty hiishcls of pindars. believe that one I it ml red and lift y Misiiels on ordinary laud can tie raised ,o the acre, which I consider worth as mich, at least, as thirty or forty ntshcls of corn. Pindar* will fatten bogs quicker hun corn, hut tiie fat will not he so .olid and linn sis coin fat.

This would ihe to nake tliein yrnw an I keep thein in .rood order.

And. oh me ! won't they yo for the pindars. l''or the piiint.iny of pindaro tiio y round needn't h.? laid olT in row wider apart than three lei t, yiviny seventy rows to the acre, and upon the hed a distaiiee of eighteen inches a|?art is plenty far. If the land is not very trong perhaps fifteen inches on tin bed would be better. They are niucl more easily cultivated than the com mon pindar, from tho fact that thej do not spread over tho ground like tht common pindars do, but grow up in r bunch, like shinny pea*, and so can In very easily ploughed and hoed. I'd al ways shell them to plant. They grow very fast to tne bush anil in a clustei around the root. Whew you pull up tin bush you uou't leave oue in the ground, Another good thing about them is that they do not impoverish the land like the .Spanish cliufas hut are a great improvements to the land when the liogs are turned in to eat the pindars on tne vine, or rather the bush, is left. I may add that they make a splendid cow food, yielding tho richest milk, when pilled 70 with the p hdunncd put awuy a for winter feeding. Horses also love them very much and are 11c .loubt great.^ benefited by being fed on them occasionally.

In the United States Court a few days ago Judge Si men ton handed down a decision in the habeas corpus cases of the master and crew of the schooner Carolina, who had been arrested on a charge of violating the j dispensary law. Their vessel eoni taincd a cargo of liquor brought from ! Savannah to the .port of Charleston, j which was seized by the police and I State constables and conliscated. Suits j were brought to transfer the case to the Federal court, and the master and j crew of the vessel were brought into ! that court on habeas corpus. In the decision which orders the* release of the men from custody, Judge Simouton expresses the opinion that the arrest and detention of the defendants was against the interstate commerce law, aud that toe dispensary law is unconstitutional and indicates that it would be best far the. State and the public for the case to be carried speedily before the Supreme Court of the United States. When Coveruor Hvans was asked about the decision ol J udgo Simontou in the "'Carolina" habeas corpus case, he had but very little to say. Hut in that little he made clear his determination to seize all contraband | .iquor brought into the State upon its ; arrival at its destination. Governor Kvaus said : " I don't want to comment on tlie decision until I look into it thoroughly. I cannot see, however, bow he can find as ho docs, for the facts do not support the position lie takes, lie finds that tho goods were still in transit. The facts ! is given to me show that the boat was in port at the time, was at the place >f her destination ; that the line had been thrown from tho shore. L will -ay that we are going ahead seizing every boat as it comes in, and that we ^ ; l ,1..U? i : ? ? - ?U V/ ouiii uuiii^; niiaiiiuds ill tuu iSillllC old island. The constables are to go ahead and seize every yessel by my orders. Judge Sii.g">i"" 'ccides.??-^i 1 i- jui it 1 , i are n,ni I'i'nrd Iube uisponsa'v law is null aud void, on the grounds that they were engaged in interstate tralliee, and the goods had not arrived at the point of destination. The interstate commerce law is of course a feature of the law, but Congress is the only power which can have anything to do with that. We claim that under the Wilson act we can seize any liquor upon its arrival at its destination. The dispensary law is an exact copy of tho Wilson act and the United States revenue laws. If lie holds one unconstitutional he must also hold the others unconstitutional. We are not interfering with interstate commerce at all." When the (Jove.rnur was asked about Judge Simontoifs suggestion that it was for tiie best interest of all parties concerned to ha\e a speedy settlement of all questions as to the dispensary law in the United States Supreme Court, he said : "We will do as we see lit about that without any suggestion from Juugo Sinnmton. The decision he renders does not a li cet the operation of the dispensary law. It only says we can't arrest persons engaged in interstate commerce. We can't arrest people for bringing liquor into the State, but vo can take charge f the matter just as soon as the liquor arrives at its point of destination."
