To the Editor of The News and Herald: I write to ask some one or more of your farmer reader s for a reply through the columns of your valuable paper to the following interrogatories. 1.

"S "Why are the majority of farmers j very little if any better off in this j ' 'world's goods" "than they were ton years ago. 4 If farming is the best basis of an j national and individual wealth, why j are they not in a more prosperous j condition than most of those engaged in other pursuits? 5 There cannot be an effect without a cause and the only remedy for relief is to remove it. 1 pause for an explanation, after which I may offer my solution of the subject. j. 3i. !

THE DROUGHT IS CREASES TUE YIELD OF LATE CHOPS. To the Editor of the Xcws and Jlerald: I read in the Charleston Xeics and Courier, the following. Columbia, rcccmberS ? [Spccial:]Earlv in November tic State Department of Agriculture announced the crop estimates of i:s correspondents, of a careful tabulation, and according to these estimates 'he \ield of cotton* this year was placcd at 039,000 bales. The reports of the correspondents on which this 'estimate is made, about September 20, when the plant looked promising, bnt later in the season became apparent that dry weather and nnnsnallv f>arlv frost would STeatly f affect the yield, and at tl:e figures which were published the statement was made that they were probably too high." "To make sure of the facts, Commissioner Cutler some weeks ago sent out to his township correspondents for supplementary estimates of the cotton crop. Several hundred replies have been received of the average date, December 1, and a tabulation just completed shows that the crop of 1889 is only 5-13,208 bale?, against 558,000 bales last jcar, a decrease of nearly 15.000 bales. The loss of 9G,0C0 bales from the September estimate is accounted for not only by drought and early frosts, but by the backwardness of the plant and the extent it went to weed after the heavy rains in the summer/' In t.nr section of i]ic country around Fair view and vicinity on the high lands iho ''drought" and ihc late frost greatly increased t he yield, of the late ! crop, and in oider to make manifest how fall drowjlf would hasten the maturity and opening of late cotton, I selected a stalk 1 aving 10:1 bolls,! with oi.e onen ind two partlv on the! 22 October, had it pulled up and hung j where it would get ihe forenoon sun j and b> ihe 20.h of November almost every boll had opened, and similar -talks left where they grew had not opened one-fourth the bolls at that date, going to substantiate what I have previously made known, from repeated observation, in my articles?

Friday morning band-bills were scattered along the streets announcing that the faniiiiar drama,. "Ben Bolt," would be given, on liie boards at Boat's Opera House, Friday niglif, litr tolfmt- \Vli5lr> t hc? lil'iv i<5 fJ pathetic portrayal of 1 ho crosscs in love ot "Den Boil" ami his "Sweet Alice," it is not altogether what may be considered a .masterpiece of melodrama. It bus nevertheless some verv strong parts. The characters were well casted, such far instance, was Mr. Albert Gerig in "Reuben liagp." His peisonation of this vagrant * as very happy and amusing in the extreme. Mr. Geriy clearly possesses no mean talent in llie histrionic art, and would unquestionably develop into a corr.cd:.an of the lirst magnitude. Miss Lil Caldwell as ''Mary Moonlight" sustained her trying and difficult role with much credit to herself, and provoked the admiration of a large audience. This character demands perculiar talent, in that, it is a mixture of seriousness and lighthearted gayetv of thoughtless youth. Although these * are considered in dramatic circles difficult characters to personate, (axing powers to their utmost, Miss Caldwell supplied tlie demand admirably. Miss Annie Aiken and Miss Laura Geng as ' Village Maids"; Miss "Dimple" Elliott, Master Charley E liott, Mr. Carl Matthews, Mr. Robert Stevenson,. Mr. Max Siigenhciraer, as "Smugglers," Mr. O. R. Thompson as the rustic '-Colin," Mr. Murray Robinson, as "Christian Comfort," and "(he old schoolmaster," J. W. Hanahan, as "Sptn* Bolt" had but 'little to say and do, but said and did that little well. Mr. W. D. Graullard's representation of''Ivan Ironlink," the heartless miller, whose subtle treachery and mean jealousy, reeked the hopes of "Sweet .Alice," and the rollicking ;<Ben"Bolt," was so well rendered thai there was a thrill of horror in the audience for the villain. Mr J. J. Gerig's conception and rendition of ^Bcn Bolt" was very fine; hflinor nafhetm and at times almost ' ? x; heart-reu cling-. In the scene when lie. after a long- absence from home and beloved Alice, returns buoyant with hopes and anticipated joy, and finds min and desolation, the cottage fallen to decay, the venerable master dead; it is then he displayed great skill: but in the gravc-vard as he looked upon " - ?'i-i- i.~ me gramIU SJUU* JIU umuu/jjcu. UUQ ability; liis performance was unlike an amateur, it resembled a professional. Truely might Miss Lizzie Gerig's impersonation be termed "Sweet Alice;" it was so simple and natural, devoid of any affectation: just as true to life as though she were the real Alice. Miss Ida Sugenheimer presided at the piano with grace and manipulated the chords with skill, and the Cornet 13alid gave as usual perfect satisfaction.
