Vaatc of Cotton Seed in Planting.
The South baa never stopped to thin]
how much money is wasted ia planting
each cotton crop. L?t us figure It ou
and we. Upon a aafe estimate not les
than 400,000 tons of cotton seed ar
used each spring In planting. The ae?
to sown lavishly In drills?not dropped
at certain distances, as corn?and afte
the plants are up the crop Is thlnnm
with a hoe. more than nine-tenths o
the young plants being cut out.
Here we And that the seed used li
planting the cotton crop would bring h
the market at least 14,400,000. As nine
tenth* of thin la wasted, we see here i
total waste of over Ave and one-hat
million dollars (15.760,000.)
It is time for the cotton growers o:
the South to call a halt to this ex
travagance. The old system of sowini
cotton seed in the drill is a remnant <>
the times when cotton seed was ;ilmo:t
worthless. Since then their value hi.i
so much enhanced that a chanjre shoult
be made in the manner of planting In
stead of sowing the seed In drills dro|
them at a distance wanted, and by fnl<
lowing this method not only the laboi
of thinning is saved, but nearly 400.00
tons of good Cotton seed is saved foi
commercial use. and the farmers of th<
South are Ave million dollars richer.
JfHie Caldwell Cotton Planter *ave?

with one peck to acre, saves enough
seed to pay for Itself in one season,

appointment bemn in th? Rm.tmi
church in this place Saturday at 10
a. ra. The attendance was not a?
full as was looked for. The most of
the day was taken up in attending to
the; usual t usiness of occasion*. The
next day the weather was so very bad
that there were no services of any kiud
in any of our churches. The last 5th i
Sunday a Union meeting was to have
been held here, but the bad weather
prevented its being the succeaa, that
was desired, and this was appointed,
and as this was a failure in part, still
another appointment will have to be
made.
Miss Rosa Hill of Bell's came over
Saturday and bas since been with the
family of Mr. J. Henry Bell.
Today a week ago, our streams were
no longer bank-bound, but were out,
covering the greater part of the low
lands, because of the heavy rains, for
tbe two days before. About tbe middle
of tbe week, the frost king, reminded
us that be had not left us
till the time for his next winter's return,
|by giving us evidence of the
7 fact, for two or three mornings light
jf frosts were seen in places, not enough
to do harm.
Yesterday was a bad one, it wa*
" rough indeed. a strong cold North-East
, wind and an incessant rain, duriug the
day and night. Another several days
i. set-back to the farming interests.

* Consider what must be involved in
the truth that Qod is infinite, and
1 (bat you are a part of hU pianu.
" Be not discouraged at broken and
" spoiled resolutions; but to it and to it
I again !
" He who has a perfect love of God
ccd have no more hatred of any of
Hia creatures thau (tod Himself baa.
The power of winning and holding
tbe kindly regard of other* is one of
the mo*t precious gifts of God, and is
the tneaus of a large influence for
good.
The desire for God, and his glory,
and favor, tbe desire to be like Him
which comes from setting Him always
before lis is a preventive of tbe
desire for self.
Let us leave anxieties to God. Why
need we bargain that our lives should
be a success, still less that it should
not be a success purchased by sacrifices
and sufferings?
Never was a sincere thought utterly
lost. Never a magnanimity fell to the
ground, but there is some heart to
greet and accept it unexpectedly,
And it is a fact that one never sins,
, breaking even the least of God's com
mamlments, that the Heart of the
((rent aud loving Father does not
yearn over him and long for hits return.
The human race it* divided into two
classes?those who go ahead and do
something and tbo*e who sit Htiil aud
inquire, "Why wasn't it done the
other way?"
We need more in this world thau
the calm of quiet circumstances. We
may have that and yet be in a tempest,
of unrest. What we need is soul rent,
and none but Jesus can give us that.
Every one experienced in dealing
with temptation knows that the fuller
glories of God's truth are needed for
delivering the soul from the power of
Satan's mightiest attacks.
! It is sweet and good to live, but how
much ?weeter aud better when we
kuow that what we call death will be
merely a letting go of that which we,
can hold no longer?a canting of}* of I
that which can no longer serve us.
Let utt think before we h|>enk, Hi nee i
; the word* we munt s|>eak must enter,
iuto the life of the world and tuuke it
woree or better, and if we err on either
Hide, err iu gentleness aud tenderness
aud love.
Nothing can lessen the dignity of
humanity so long us the religion of
love, of uuselfl illness, and of devotion
endureH, aud none can destroy the ali
tare of thiM faith for uh ho long as we.
1 feel our wives capable of love.
