HENRY NEILL AGAIN "A very pretty controversy is going on ju?t now between Mr. Henry Neill, the famous cotton expert of New Orleans, and Mr. John Hyde, the ohief statistician of the Government Department of Agriculture. Mr. Neill is easily the best known and most import ant private cotton expert in the country, and his views may be said to be controlling upon the English buyers of this staple. He has been out for several months with a prediction of another enormous cotton crop, based chiefly upon the favorable weather which, he declares, the gt owing crop has re ceived. The data of this character and the general crop conditions reported by the Government are not nearly as favorable as that given by Mr. Neill, although the Government has made no definite estimate of the crop, as Mr. Neill has. A loDg letter hac been pub lished, written by Mr. Hyde to a firm of cotton merchante here, controverting in detail Mr. Neill's statements, chiefly those referring to the amount of rainfall in the cotton belt. To this Mr. Nell has replied in a second proclamation. People in the ?cotton trade are naturally interested in the dispute. If the crop turns out to be a short one there will be a big rise in prices, while if there is another bumper crop prices will prices will probably recede. From the fact that the price of cotton has risen decidedly already we infer that general opinion of the trade leans in Mr. Hyde's favor. Hyde re ceives support also is the move ment of the crop fro- ^he planta Igrtsrties, it be?ng^ J.. '"'.<.;.- J: f last year. On the" otb. ~" hand, Mr. Neill and his friends maintain that an immense quantity of cotton has been picked and that the Southern planters are holding it back for more money. Some day, they, say, cotton will come out with a rush. We feet that we may not im properly allude at this time to certain convidtions that we have heretofore freely expressed con cerning Mr. Neill and his pro phecies. It is exceedingly unfor tunate for aoy one business that the views of any one man have come to exercise a predominant influence over its varione fluctua tions and vicissitudes. We do not think we exaggerate in stating that such is the influence exercis ed in the cotton trade by Mr. Neill. In some way-which is not altogether explained by the fact that on several occasions Mr. Neill has been very lucky in his crop guesses-renormous weight is attached to Mr. Neill's utterances. When it is known that he is about to issue a circular, the trade ii cotton is quieted and rumors as to the probable character of the circular become thick as snow flakes- If he predicts a small crop there is an excited rush of prices upwards, and if he predicts a big crop there is a slump. Millions of dollars hang upon his words, and of course something be sides mortification is felt when these words prove to be mistakes. Now, while we wish to state most emphatically that we have never heard a syllable spoken against Mr. Neill's integrity and that we believe him to be an absolutely h jnest man, yet it ie obvious that any such position HB he occupies must be very uncom fortable for an honest man to be in. It certainly imposes upon him strenuous obligations of re ticence and extreme carefulness. Indeed, one would think that Mr. Neill would wish to stop issuing crop estimates or would issue them as rarely as possible and at such late dates in the season that they Would not work mischief.-N.

DEAR ADVERTISES : The tobacco farmers at Trenton have met with disappointment, but it is their own fault. They have made fine tobacco, as good as has been made in any section of the State, aod yet, while others were getting from 10 to 20 cents a pound for tobacco, they have sold theirs for two and a half cents. They, in common with some fruit men, have made the mistake of ship ping to parties who were allowed to put their own price on the goods. If a man had a horse for sale, would he ship the horse to Char lesion to a broker with instruc tions to "grade" the horse, to sell him to the highest bidder, to take out his commission, and to remit the balance? If any one were to do that, his neighbors would pat him down as a fool, yet that ie about what some tobacco planters are doing. The broker could grade a $150 horse, a fine driver, as a common plug, worth about $35. He could sell him at the latter price to a secret partner who could sell him at the higher price and they could divide the difference, who can say that that is not done sometimes with fruit and tobacco? The Trenton tobacco growers should stop shipping their tobacco to North Carolina and Virginia parties who pay only two and a half cents a pound. They should rent a tobacco warehouse in which to store thr;ir tobacco, and they should invite buyers to come to Trenton to lay in a stock for their factories. It is in that way only that the tobacco growers can get a fair price for their tobacco. But, as a matter of fad they need not be dependent on outside buyers at all. Why not manufacture Tren ton tobacco here at home? The men who grow the tobacco can manufacture it and they need go to very little expense. No plant whatever I believe is required to manufacture cigars, and the ma chinery for making smoking to bacco can probably be purchased for less than $100-certainly for less than $300. There is a building near Ebe nezer church which with little la bor ould be fitted either for a to bacco warehouse or a tobacco fac tory, and perhaps it would answer the purposes of both. Let the Trenton tobacco grow ers call a meeting and decide upon apian of action. They could or ^anize^conipany with a capital I ?^?^Ci&V diviled into " ares cf j-: $50 or $100 each. That Amount would secure the lease of a sui ta ble building and purchase all the necessary machinery for the man ufacture of cigars and smoking t>bacco. If the people of Trenton wi wakeup and do something this town will soon become a tobacco market, a manufacturing center real estate will advance 100 per cent, and the contents of the Horn of Plenty will be poured into our laps.

Mr. Prince died that day and was interred at Bed Oak Grove church Wednesday Nov. 1st. To die is something we all will have to do and it stands us in hand to be ready at any time. Mr. E F Thomas has bought up ann ruber of cowa which he in tends putting on the Augusta market now soon. Mr Thomas is a hustling young man, he and his fatbe :, Mr F B Thomas, are Tan ning a store at Red Hill and are doing good business. The Red Hill section is a health ful part of the world. He who drinks water from the Red Hill fountain is sure to have good health. Ponce De-Leon ought to have etrock it and he would have been here now.

Mr Quartet if a good Superinten dent. He has been Supt. for six years and hasn't missed more than two or three f i mes since he was elected and is always on time; that is the way to make a Sunday School a success. In reading some literaturo concerning S a n d * y School a few days ago, I came across the following: "Don't grum ble, lend a hand. Be regular aud punctual. Show a cheerful face and willing mind. Join in the singing and responsive reading. Pay attention. Don't think of other things' attend to the one ons ! Positions !

Do not make it harder for them by your carelessness. Love your sohool ; it is worth loving." It seems to be universally the case that the old or middle age class don't take any part in the Suuday School. This is a great mi?take ; how do you expect the young people to patroDize some thing which you care nothing for? A good Sunday School ie the very back-bone of the pulpit and when you see a church without a Sunday School, you see one vith mighty near no preacher. I don't mean to say that the preacher made it so, nevertheless, its the case. The best way in the world to judge a community is by the interest the people in that com munity take in day and Sunday Sohoole. SNOOKS.

"Uvcourse; hasn't been no other feller waitin' on her. Ain't you goin to pursue after 'em an' arrest 'im?" . "Uv course not," he replied, sternly. "I'm not under obliga tions to help Bob Scuttles out of no difficulty. Let him go ahead work out his sentence, same's I've been doin' fut the las' 40 years." Where is Best Assurance of True Happiness. There are two classes of people that are antagonizing in their imaginations. The country man thinks if he lived in a city, life would be so pleasant to him, while the city man longs for a home io the country where he can breathe the pure air. raise his vegetables, chickens, fruits, etc. One that has tried both will agree that a nice little home in the country, neatly painted, with flower garden and evergreens around it affords the greatest pleasure to the wandering mind. My countrymen look after the ir :ove ment of your home, do not neglect to paiut your buildings. The Southern Paint Co., of Pinebluff, N.
