TO THE FABM<?R?. I,1 t APPEAL OP PRESIDENT 831 ITB j TO THE COTTON GROWERS. 1 ???? j To iF educe the Cotton Acre ge and | Baise Their Cwn Fo d Crops This Year. Mr. E. D. Smith, orjjanlz.r for the Southern Cotton Association and i tiTBsident of the South Carolina d vis | Ion, has given out the fallowing state* meat: "This is the first time that I have team able to be cut since my return Iron the West. I am glad to report from Louisiana, Arkansas ani Texas a very fi >urishing condition of the as j scoiation. Wherever 1 have been and spoken the people have readily grasp ed the idea that this is a s .pie outness proposition and that the po^fto control their crop lies entirely within their own hands. "Throughout the State of Tcxav there Is qutie as much enthusiasm and determination aa there is in any " *? TTnlnn Then rtiri oiner ocsto m uuo uuivu* ? not bold tbeir cotton as other S&at< b have done; practically because boxe of their lei ders, not Col. Peters, advised them against puffing their e itton for 15 cents a pound, on tbe contrary advised th> m to sell it as long as *.bey could get 11 cents per pound middling.- Tne conscquencc was that Texas sold her crop. "Tbe conditions for this State f>>r another year, so far as my observation and oplonion are to be depanaca upon, are these: Last year tbe spring was bo cold and wet that it was impossible to plant oorn and oats In Maici and April. In tbis State of Tt zas if corn and oats are not planted in Marci and April it is usele?s to plant them at all, for the reason that the excessive hot, - dry winds of June and July practically destroy the corn and blight the oats... Hence, as said before, tbe spring was so backward that the time for oorn and oats planting bad past before any planting ccu'd be done. The consequence was that as caiton oould be planted as late as July and still make a fairly good yield, the graiD lands of Texas were planted lo cotton last year. Tois year, these two months, February and Mart b, being Ideal for putting in small grair and ojrn, the farmers having on ac count of last year's failure to be bu;lng oorn now will be apt to increase tbeir grain crop for tbis year. Be sides tbis, in eastern and central T xa* there will be a large voluntary reduc* ? " tlOD ror Y&ritus reasuus, ^uuu^u. among which Is the organ z vtlon o1 tfce Souther?! Cotton asst c.a ion anc, the practioal good sense < f the se wh< wMl adhere to Its teachings. ' la northern Texas there will be posf?ibl> an increase in acreage priLCit.hmiioh fchft niif-.ninff ud of nev> lands. "Id Arkansas I find, much to m\ astonishment, that State saying ttuleast and doing the most, so far standiDg by the association is concerned. They not only have not so.!d " - their cotton but have provided themselves with warehouse facilities and ample means, and are not going to *ell It until it reaohes the price for which t ey have pledged to hold. I saw no Indications throughout this S :at-* tuat there would be any practical Increase of acreage, bat a determination cn the part cf those to whom I spoke. And from the general impmslo; gathered frcm this State, I think that a greater amount of d jtermina tlon will )>e practiced this year than ever b*fo e. "In Louisiana t' e conditions are saca that no one can predict what the outoonje may be. Fjr tbe nrsc citte lasti year tbe boll weevil got lu bis destructive work, and, witb tbe bad seawon, Louisiana imde practically no crop; neither has fchs made any com crop. ' Tne price of cotton Is unusually high. The prospect before them of having to buy an entire year's sup ply, with the knowledge that their land will make cum, and on account of tbe boll weevil, tbe deposition see its to be rather to increase their food tuppb orop. "These are three States that I o:vered in my absence and where 1 worked night and day. I have not for one moment loat faith in tbe movement; and in tbe ultimate v'ndicition of tbe stand tbat we bave taken. Those who have spot oof on who have resolutely held it in tbe faae of all organized effort to force them to S3ll at other than their figures have a brighter prospeot of vlotory today than ever before, "The ginnera' report ofliaters, sea ls'and cotton, the amount of cotton nhioh fihmilri hn.vn hftpn rpnorfcad in last year's crop, and tbe d ffereoce It the weights of biles this year and last all deducted from tbe total, will make the crop practically 10 000,000 bales. With the world's oocsumptlon requiring at least 12,000.000 bales cut of the present crop, by the first day of September next Ibe condition of the spitners can easily b: figured out and the statistical report of ootton easil} appreciated. "Tiie prospects are that we will begin the firs; of next year with practically the stock depleted, and If tbe farmers will but exercise goad common sense and reduce tbeir acreage In cotton, increasing their food products, there will be no need to bold ootton anoihe r season for any length of time, because the world will be clamorous for it from the beginning. "Id has been of great benefit to me to bd able to p jinc to South Carolina as standing woolly by her pledge. It Is no idle boast, nor Is it} said in the spirit of a boast, but lather to show the responsibility thao is npon us, wben I declare tbat tbe eyes of the other cottou growing S:ates are upon < us, and South Car lina this year will determine by wbat sbe does largely tbe fate of the ScuLhern Cotion Assd - elation.

''We will celebrate another Jubilee his year. I sincerely hope tbit as nany will r'jrtce as did last year *ben we celebrated tbe 10 cent vio bory. 4 'To all the or tton growers of tbe State let me make this plea: If you bave not reduced yrur acreage, and if you have already jrdpared it for cot* :on, let me be? you as a business proposition. as a good sense proposition, r,o reduce your cotton acreage njw, and ircresse your oornand food crop?, supply yourselves with more hogs and sattle and reap the reward of prosper Ity. "Hold your spot cot tor I" REDUCTION Of ACREAGE. o What a New York Business Man Says About 1% Superintendent William V. King, of the New York Cotton Exchange has addressed the Southern Cotton Association on the subj -ot of overproduction. Hi^ letter says in part: j "In my opinion the coming planting season will prove to be the most trying if not the most critical in the experience of the cotton growers of the South. Trying, because there are many who believe 10 or 10 1-2 cents will prove bo serioui a tempta tlOD to the plant&'lOQ tnat ne win put every available acre in cottoD. This opinion is not confined to this section of the country aione, but is endorsed by many of tbe Rood people of tbe South, not planters of cotton, I am glad to say. It will indeed prove a critical season for tbe planter and for the entire South should the t mptaMon to over-plant In cotton oe carried out. Tee years cf splendid work of your association, together with that of others who have co opeiated, will be swept away, and a con dltion of servitude for the plante. will be re-enacted with its cons'qaent six or tevet cents for cotton. This is not an extreme pio ure. It is certain to oocur uidess tbe p anters stmd sol idly together and for their own protection diversify the plintiDg put ticg in a moderate acreage only in cotton. If the planters will not prcpot themselves in a natter cf sue vi al iDtercst, to whom can they look 'or h 1; ? Certainly no & to tbe buy ar and ooniumer. To sum up the matter, the slouation for weal or for voe, for seven cents or fcr twelve c^nt*, is entirely In the haDds of the planter. In a brief Interval of time the worH will know whether he has roven false to hiaoself cr ha3 ha'l the courage and maniiusss to resist tbe temptation which nov threatens to wrest) from him the coctrol of the situation." THE GAMS LAW. &|?n; D jn't Seem to Understand tbe New Aot. The Columbia Raord of the 21st Instant said "a party of about flfcy Columbia sportsmen organized to make a trip to Fort Motta last waek to shoot birds, apparently unmindful of the fact that the last legislature amended the game law so as to pro vide for a closed season from the 1st * * I ?>VtA 1t.fr /vf <JI m& CU lUSlitJAU ui ii jin ulio i3u vi April, as heretofore. A similar misun dersrandir!g seems to prevail throughout the state. A state officer's secretary received an invitation Wednesday from a Yorkville party to go our. for a hunt "before the season," but be wired his regrets, saying the season bad already olosed. Toe new game law provides: "Jfc shall not be lawful for any person in this state between the 1st day of March and the 155h day of N < vem* Var MMnt In t.h>?

SENATOR TIL1M4N AS SEEN THROUGH TBE EYES OF A REPUBLIC ?N, Aj A Prophet Ee Decries 1 hat the Blind Money Worahippers Wont ree. The New Y jfk Pref8, which h strongly R publican la its sentlrrentf, says''the eternal principle of (qua ( pportunlty (or men Is the ot J^t lo> which Senator Tillman contends it his report to the United States senate on the railroad rate bill. Argument in support of that demand we do noi behold the ranting demagogue of olo armed with pitobfork and blustering a blasphemous tirade. This Ban Tillman is the cool logloian, the calm controversialist who writes an earnest, dispassionate and unanswerable brief for control by the American people of thehighwajs that should be their jown. Ben Tillman of the wool hat slips out of the mind's eyf; In hit place looms a statesmanlike figure. "Toe fate that Intrusts the representative of a discredited minority with the leadership of a momentous legislative battle, on whose outcome the fortunes of both majority and democracy are staked, reveals to us fcbe ahlnlnir worth of this hlimin dia aQond in the rough. Caief wonder of his performance Is that the railroad crew io the senate, being resolved t assassinate the square deal program and having relirquished the msjoritjs duty to the minority in order the better to ply their kaivas should have appointed as obief mourner a very Antony to make the stones cry out in mutiny. . ''Senator Tillman, once the most rampant of radicals, cff rs here a plan at which the younger generation will live to marvel for it? moderation. We have' here the most frei z ed of tbe Bryan agitators preaching tin dietrine of conservatism as tne only es caps from political and social revolution. The breaking down of party lines in the senate on this issue In tbe strange manner he describes, is only one of the unprecedented features of the struggle between people and privilege. In the new alignment of farces we see on the side of radicalism, passionately urgicg immediate government ownership or outright socialism, men heretofore known for their m:ld In istence on caution. Oa the other s de, pleading for the minimum of effective government supervision, are tae "middle-of-the-road" noncompro misers, the braodishers of pitchforks, he "burn your-cities" horde of two l':cendiirv campalgas. Yu? genuine o.rs iv.livis of tocay, the leaders wfcc stand for reasonable redress or "listing wrongs as against these drastio and o^nvulslve remedies to which the people would repair as their alternative, are the Tillmans and Bryar-s, and even the Tom Watsons, of yesterday. "There Ik not a line in the Tillman program to which the supporters of the Roosevelt Republican policy canno'. subscribe. "Reasonable returns to railroads, but always and only on actual capital invested, and not on ooeans of water. "Prohibition of railroads from creating the freight in competition with their shippers in addition to car ryinglt. "Col flrncation of the long-ased and long u ichallenged power of the Interstate Commerce Commission to abolish extortionate rates. ? -< *? rriauu titupca iux iouolo wnui rials. "To these Just provisions some things need to be added. Nothing can b? taken away without continuing the cruel kjastfcj which railroads and their creatures Standard oil, beef trust, ooal trust and a hundred private monopolies, are enfiloting dally upon the people. "With his single prophetio eye this champion of American freedom from eoonomlc shackles cin decry the disss ter that the blind and blundering knaves will not see. Standing almost solitary in thPt wilderness of stratagems and spoils, with Lincoln-like simplicity and Tillman-Mke fearlessness he utte'S his impressive forecast of the doom the Amerlcn judgment holds over the traitors and of the wreck American wrath will make of their odious system. "The citizen who is not struck by the import of the Tillman message misses the meaning of the prologue to the most stirring drama since the War of the States. Pay Small Bills. inure is iar tuu muuu urKugcuuc everywhere about the small amounts of money. It not unfr< quently hap pens bbat men will have a small amount charged when thev have sufficient money in their pockets to pay it, and subject the creditor to the trouble of sendlrg It for collection when he needs it, taking the chances of learning that the debtor Is sway from his place of business or from home and perhaps subjecting him to the imputation of being in a needless hurry for payment. More attention to this point), and especially by those to whom the payment is immaterial, who can pay at one time as well as another, would be a vast improvement on the present mode of many persons in doing business. The prompt payment of small bills is a matter of more Importance than is generally attached to it. A Bad Woman.

The New York American says one i of tbe most remarkable tricks ever played by a gale of wind was perpetrated by the blustering March storm Thursday night when It blew a man u?er the Palisades, where there Is a sheer drop of one hundred feet, buoyed him up by his umbrella until he had floated down the greater part of the distance, and tben dropped to the ground, where he was found scratched and bruised but without a bone broken. Salvator Blanco was the sufferer from the prank of the storm. He lives on River avenue, in ClifMde Park about four miles north of Hoboken. Blanco was returning to his home Wednesday evening, protecting him self from the sleet and rain with an old-fashioned, wooden-handled umbrella of large alza. As was his custom, he was walking along the path close to the brow of the Palisades, when a sbrdng gust of wind caught the umbrella and almost wrenched It from his grasp. Forgetting any possibility Df perssnal danger, Blanco held on tightly to the handle cf his umbrella, while the force ut the gale dragged him to the edge of the Pallsadrs, ana then he lost his balance and a puff of wind carried him out into space. The wind was blowing straight oyer the river and Blanoo was carried clear of the cliff*, whin the wind got beneath tbe umbrella, converting it into a parachute, and Blanoo began to float gently downward. For a space of several seoonds the gradual drop coatlnued, the strong ribs and cloth of the umbrella holding against the weight of the man Blanco was within twenty feet of the ground In the leeward of the cliff when a slant of wind struck the umbrella, turning It lnsldo out and collapsing it completely as a support. Blanco shot downward. But tbe luck that had sustained him thus far did not desert him, and he fell Into a clump of bushes on the shore below, jolting, bruising and scratching blm severely, but doing him no serious Iniorw 4 As soon as Blanco found bis voice he yelled for assistance. He was founi among the busbes, still ollngiEg to the wreck of his umbrella. When be told of his drop from the cliff above those wh) bad found him hastened to call an anbulanoe, believing that tbe man's body mast be crushed so that be could not live. When the surgeon frcm St. Mary's Hospital in Hoboken arrived he coull dad no indication of serious Injury, but he took tbe man to the hospital. There Bianoo was fouud to be suffering more from fright and shock tban onnfKlnnr aloo and ho VOA lrp.nti HVfif night. The surgeons believe that Bianco can look back with more calmness on his terrifying experience and with his nerves restored he can return to his family. The umbrella has been perserved for Blanco. Bluoded Horses Burned. At Greenville four blood horses u?bnglng to 0. B. Taylor were roasted alive in tire whloh destroyed his stables at an early hcur Thursday mornlDg. O je horse resoued will prcbably die. Mr. Taylor is in Gaorgia and therefore it is impossible to obtain the aotual loss, but it is approximated at 12 000, with the loss of the stables $1,000-extra. The ani- j mals lost have won several prizas at fairs. The fire is suppose! to have originated from the bunting of a barrel of lime which became damp. A negro asleep in a room adjoining che stables awoke in time to (pen the stall doors and to lead out three horses, one of which ran back into the flames and was killed. ^ YOU WELL J [oes right to the seat of the < ?ons out of the blood, cleans u| 1 sets ad the organs to work i vegetable, non-alcoholic, it is ansing medicines, and at th< sr. tones up the stomach and RHEUMACIDE is the only i n to stay cured. , BLOOD PURIFIER Thb W rrnimde RY REMOVING THE G las cured thousands of cases? famous doctors had failed, u, spent $200 in medicines ar ysicians' fees, and at last he wa :les of Rheumacide.
