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.

others, enjoy their fun playing
amusing tricks on the professors
' although . sometimes they ge
caught.
Last Tuesday, our president
accompanied by the Senior clasi

went to Little Mountain on i
geological expedition. They re
turned that evening appcarinj

to have gained the construction o

their estimation, they had a ver
pleasant trip." *

MR. 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

the saints had struck on all theil
harps of gold at onco it could noi
have affected us more. 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

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

that no'water will stand afounc1
the houses, as dampness .ie the
cause .of much-sickness . and the
prime causeof that much dreaded

elevated place on which to er?d
your houses, you must attend tc
the draining very carefully.
Nine farmers out of ten upoi
being asked th? question why h<

market, will answer, "Oh, well/it'i

sense.

There was never a greater huisanc

If you wish to keep more th?

says: "Among our useful bree

In a letter to tho Poultry Kee
Mr. J. A. Munroe writes : "Ame

on unlimited range to be self sup

surpass the Leghorns, and their

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

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.
They have done well, and it gives
the Jounuil pleasure to recognize
heir merila and to ob.sorvo Hie
