Cotton Acreage. Our advice from various parts of thi country indicate a decreased acreag in cotton say 30 per cent., but the re ports throughout the cotton belt ar very conflicting. For instance, we sub mit the follow from Price, Reid <i Adams's cotton circular ; Mount pleasant, Texas.-There i not more than 5 per cent, of crop stil to come forward in Eastern Texas an Northern .Louisiana, crop prospect bad, outlook for large crop gloomy estimate of'crop 8,850,000. plantin fui !y 20 perecen t. less than last year. Navasiota,Texas.-Cotton in farmen hands in Texas, 350,000 to 400,000, an no telling hov much in warehouses, n \ decrease in acreage, new land takeh i again this ^esr, crop and prices ( 92-93 will not be reduced any moi than was that of 91-92, Marshal], ?Texas.-Little cotton c hand, buyers all left and farm woi ' much behind. Raleigh, N. C.-Lots of cotton in tl country, and as for talk of reductic of acreage, it is all humbug. The: will ,be just as much cotton as la year. The logic of these conflicting repor to the Edgefield farmer is : Plant ev< less cotton than you how intend. Doi be deluded. Personal Mention.

DEAB ADVEITISER : Thinking maybe you would like to hear from this section of the country, I -send ?rou a few items. We were all pery glad to welcome the old ADVEITISER once more after its being absent so long; hope, np ather misfortune will ever happan to keep it from us again. Fair weather has once more come upon us and the farmers are all busy preparing to plant. I think the majority of the farmers are going to decrease their acreage in cotton and increase their acreage in corn and cereals. ' Mrs. J. C.

EDITOR; 'Thebudding trees, the fragrant. flowers, the cooing doves, and:the "chuck-will's wid ows" of t ne lively noctural enter tainer; all indicate the death-of winte r and the birth of spring. Apropos of this lovely season, tfr.e young folks, ever on the qui '/ive for fjome fun,are puzzling their . brains as to how they will spend Saturda}*- before Easter. Some suggest a novel thing-an egg hunt -the girls furnishing the. eggs "mixed up" in Easter style and a committee to hide them on a chosen spot and requiring the boys to deposit a small amount for the privilege of trying their luck in this field of search. All eggs found, to belong to the finder, and the proceens to go toward the purchas ing of a sil veri ne communion set for Butler church. Bachelors and widowers, here's a chance to get a square meal of your favorite dish ! On Friday night last your cor respondent had the pleasure for the first time in his life of being present at the closing exercises of a colored school, and could you have been there, Mr. Editor, you'd agree in saying it was arare treat, and a mile stone in my life. The proceedings beggar description being, without a parallel in the history of pedagogy. The crowd was amusing-the teac?cr amus ing, and tho. pupils amusing; everything done and said tended to tickle one's risibilities until at last disgusted at trying to laugh we op?n our lungs to their fullest dimensions and let one yell after another roll. Educated by a Yan kee marm, the teacher, a female of sombre hue, endeavored to flavor her pronunciation with the North ern brogue-particularly to empha size every word and form each sound within her chest or there abouts. Seated on a pile of pine poles some ten paces from the stage, which consisted of an . elevated platform carefully curtained on all sides in rear of the school build ing and adjoining it, we patiently viewed the crowd of spectators and awaited developments. Soon there nrnHR within a conglomeration of j voices, all ...:>.ir.:i. chating lait old faiiitilxar air; Laying all I ji'kes Asidtf, to our untuned and UKI? .isidil ?ar ii seemed t itt sw?ot ? es1 ' ?fusic. ? reguiur *iiig I mg ' W? .

The musi< went straight up for' the first quar ter, stood still on the second quivered on tho third, and now fo: the home-stretch-well, words ari simply inadequate ! In a few seconds thc teachei pulled aside the curtains an< apologetically said in deep Yanke brogue : "I hope the audience won' get offended at our singing; fo we have so many, little ones w have to do something to keep then awake ; don't get deluded." An< with, a wheel and a flirt she dis appeared behind the closed eui tains." "Don't get deluded" drawle out an attentive listener, "Wha does dat mean?" Echo auswere "what." Then minutes later the mistres again appeared, all preliminarie having been arranged, and said "Well, we have waited justas lon as possible. No, not as long a possible, but just as long as w will wait; so now we will began. We will act poetries, and froi poetries down to dialogues an from dialogues down to singing and from singings down to praj ings and prayings down to dan< inge," Immediately the ba opened with a selected "poetry, this followed by another, and so o until fully half the announce programme was completed. Tl dialogues, all burlesques on tl old-time darkey and very charam teristic of this interesting gem homo of to-day, were amusing b yond description. But with anxious heart and u; weariedly we waited for tl "shoutings" and "dancings." Tl pqrtaips are drawn and sudden opened, Fourteen girls, all dress? in white and trimmed in re stand motionless, eaoh with smaller girl in front. With bowi heads and in subdued, though a dible tones, all sing, "Knock at the door, and the door open, And the love come trickerling dowi And with a jump and an ug they began the regular dark shout, beginning in tho wild< manner imaginable an ancie jubilee song. After going throu every motion they with bow heads and calmed feelings, ngr sang in a low tone the two lir above mentioned, and with animated jump straight up, i companied with a still more ( thusiastic "ugh" or "umph," t routine above delineated was fu duplicated and left us uneducat as to what it indicated. Finally the "dancing" mc tioned in the verbal program: was reached, and never l,iave been moro forcibly struck w the lightness of a darkey's foot his agility in using it. To t things the whites must yield; i negroes can beat them singings dancing. Every swag of the Tlc the swaying boughs of the tri the whistling of tho wind and ci tk'? cracking of the fence-rail fire ' ourning BO briskly near by was utilized as music and aided them m the '"old Virginia reel." With a whoop and a shout and a deaf ening hurrah spiced with a hearty ha l h?! the patient and attentive crowd now, as chanticleer pealad forth the midnight note, sought their humble abodes. While we have written in a some what sneering' way apparently yet injustice to the colored friends we must say, all things being con sidered, the affair was creditable and heartily enjoyed by the writer and the score or more of other white spectators. The latest in our vicinity is the grand offer made last week by a North Carolinian to our venerable old friend, Mr. Gibson Yarbrough, for a few acres of his land, on which it is believed there is a rich deposit of gold. Mr. Tarbrough, several years since, did some dig ging which resulted in the finding of some of the precious metal. At last the egg of the "Thirteen" has hatched and with patience we wait to see what stock it is. Farmers, remember the years be tween 76 and '90. The "Thirteen" arid their clan concedes moro when they said "we recognize and respect the. right of> the agricultural class to participate ' in - governmental control," -th'art; wascv?T granted before. Will you enslave your selves again', by deserting your standard bearer-Tillman? . The line of "battle is drawn-the fight is on-and will you notshow your selves men? - BUD. Dennys, S. C. Poultry, [j The farm is the proper l place tc rear chickens; there they have plenty of ground' to range over which is conducive to health and contentment among the feathered tribe. The first thing to be done in starting a poultry farra, . or z poultry department on.the* farm is to select a suitable location Ao\ the fowl houses, -It should be ar elevated placo, sloping southeast preferred; have it well drained sc that no'water will stand afounc1 the houses, as dampness .ie the cause .of much-sickness . and the prime causeof that much dreaded disease,' roup.

A white plumage, with : comb, face and wattles, and yell legs, make a pleasing contrast tl cannot help being admired, etc' In a letter to tho Poultry Kee Mr. J. A. Munroe writes : "Ame the many varied beauties of natl the feathered tribe holds a proi nent place, and pre-eminen among; these stand, in regal gr deur, 'the- royal game fowl, symmetry of form, in rich ? beautiful plumage, in intellige: and incredible sagacity, and li but by no rh jans least, in daring and invincible courage, he reigns supreme, and is without a peer. In point of utility he will compare favorably with the best. Games are superior foragers, being able on unlimited range to be self sup porting, as layers they frequently surpass the Leghorns, and their eggs, too, are of a superior delicacy of flavor. As table fowls, the. game bird surpasses all others," etc. ' Plant fruit trees in the fowl yards, this will give shade to the fowls and the fruit will bring in a profit during the summer months when money is ver}' scarce on the farm. jjThere is big money in chickens and fruit. Why don't you try,to get some of it out? HENRY P. COOK. Graniteville, S. C. The Augusta Evening News. The first afternoon paper in Georgia to score a success was the Augusta News. G?n?ral William H. Moore, in whom Atlanta still feels a warm interest, left this city when the Sun, of which he was city editor, suspended, and entered the field of Augusta journalism. . He did excellent work on the old Atlanta Herald and the Constitutionalist for several years, and. in 1877 founded the News. It was considered a rash experiment by Borne of Mr. Moore's best friends, but the public took kindly .to the News from the start, and it was soon regarded as one. of Au gusta's most valuable institutions. It has now reached its fifteenth year, and is stronger and more popular than ever. The News ias succeeded because it has been, newey, clean und good natured. It has been a power for good in \ugusta, and has aided materially in the building up of the city's interests.' We do not wonder that the peo ple of Augusta like the News and atron'i'/o it liberally. "Bill" Moore, as everybody calls him. and "Judge" Gibson have put in years of fait hf ul work on the paper, through: which their humor gleams even* day.
