Here are a lot- of reasons why Postmaster General Gary's scheme of postal savings banks shouM be opposed by every Southern Democrat in Congress: 1. It is paternalistic, and therefore undemocratic. The general govern ment has no greater right nor reason to constrain the people to save money than it has to pi event them from spending it. These are matters pe culiarly to he determined by individual judgment. 2 It is not a proper function of the Federal government to conduct a bankiug business. Our people have been for } ears endeavoring to make 11 auanuou us luwuwjjvij \ii ..v.,, issuing feature, because in ibis it lias proved inefficient and oppressive, and it would be^folly and stuhification for us now to invest it with the power to conduct the savings department as well. What the great gov ernment at Washington days hold on it does not readily release, and monopoly is tho ultimate result of its entrance into any field. o. It would be unfair to the exist ing savings banks for the governo o meut to enter li>ts against them. These banks are owned and controlled by citizens and arc conducted with consideration for depositors as well as stockholders. They pay, in the south, -U or 5 per cent, interest, almost twice as much as it is proposed that the government shall pay, and they are conservatively and safely managed. Yet at lower rates of interest the government banks would j take a larger proportion of their deposits from them, because of the effect on the average mind of the supeifiuous pledge of the "honor and credit" of the United States as secu lit j*. No eomplaiut is made against the present savings banks except that there aie not enough of them. But the need of them, in the south i ?,?i ?i.???i eenainiy, is more uppiucui, m?u iirat. In most places building and loan associations are substitutes for them aDd pay far larger returns thau any savings bank could. Moicover, by their system of lines and penalties they compel savings as bank accounts caDnot do. 4 It '.vould reouire the govern- j o ; ment either to hunt investments for mi VISITED LAND'S? 1HY NOT? the styles and continually replenish it and most desirable, and if you wish aiu in ignorance of the big values we i, 1G35 Main Street.

Solicts a Share of the money deposited ?which would i result in favoritism, the preference of those in the noith and east over those in the tonih?or else take motiey out ; of the common treasury to pay the j interest?which would be robbing i i the mm saving taxpayer to reward the saving taxpayer. If, on the other j hand, tlie government should make a profit out of the banks, that profit. ' made with the money of depositors, j , would go into the treasury to be applied to public purposes, and thus j i < the lion depositor would profit by j the savings of others. Looked at from any point of view the scheme is ! sure to result in inequity between j those who save and those who uo not. ! , ( o. The greatest practical object- j tion to the scheme,however, :s that I it would drain the south's money 1 away from the south, and, God i know*-! we have drains enough already in the pension list, the tariff tolls, the interest on loaus, the divi- I dends on mill and other investments. ' the surplus earnings of railroads, and j so on. The money deposited in the J postal savings bauks of the most : obscure places in the south would go I 1 to Washington, and there of thence j would be invested by officials domi- j nated by northern influences: the j result of which would be that the south's balance in these banks would ..n/mrntalv i/mi ocoiM f!tr? KIH11 i [U CU> Cl\. \ UiC4CV*J 1\ ^/IVUVMV - of southern money held north. Our own s;i\iDgs banks keep their deposits at borne; most of their investments are at home. It is far, far j better for us that they shall continue j to handle such savings as the exist- j ing drains northward permit us to | make. We have thought the question over j long and carefully, with a desire to' advise for the best interests of onr J people; aud these are the conclusions ! we reach. The habit of saving is a | good one, although often earned to excess. We would like to see every southern family with something laid by toward a competence, and we have hesitated to oppose auy measure which might make saving easier. But we have been forced to the conclu sion that this scheme promises harm to the south. Our savings banks can meet any real demand for a multiplicity of deposit points by appointing agents at all towns who will ? ? receive and forward moneys. L?t us i hold hard to what remains to us [ of banking functions. Let us keep our little hoards at home. Ths Juicy 'Possum.

We all want to , know its future as far as we may. J At the breaking out of the civil war j the large.it crop was 4,750,000 bales, j This last crop of IS'. 17 promises to j reach very close to 10,750,000 bales : or an increase of 0,000.00!) bales, i 1,250.0JO bales more than double the largest crop prior to the war. lie ] coipts the past week 5.'>>2.5:U bales, or at the rate of 2.280,000 bales a month. Too much for the buving " I capacity of the country to absorb jo rapidly. Keceipts so far, fiom Sept. j 1st, this jear 5.478,081 bales, over ! 700,000 bales more than the largest j crop beiore the war, and for cor- j responding period of 1800, .712,000 j bales: corresponding 18975. 1,705,008 , bales, and for the large crop year ! < 1804. 227,132 bales. j A correspondent writes me from j < northern Tt-xas in reference to the ] growth of cotton in that section. i Oklahoma and Indian Territory, that it is largely in the increase, and that 1 Oklahoma and northern Indian Ter- < litory cotton is very fine, long fibre . and much better than that raised in , Texas, while the acreage yield of < of Oklahoma per acre is reported by the United States Government as j larger tiiau any other State. i The estimated increase of cotton ] production of the countries here re ] ferrcd to, is for northern Texas only 10 per cent. Oklahoma and Indian ; Territory i>0 per cent. Other ] features of the growth of cotton cul- | ture in the West are the cutting up ] of large Ranch properties iuto small i farms which will raise more or less | cuttou. aud this is especially true of ( a lieu section of Ranch lauds west cf 1 Houston aud north west of Galveston, ! , and these are especially liue cottou j ] growing lands. These facts force the old eastern cotton growing States j to seriously consider the situation- j West of the Mississippi liver has a capacity for 20,000,000 bales of cot j ton in my opinion, and it can be j raised in larger quantities per acre j tkui east, hence for lass cost. It ; 1 would not be surprising if some day 1 not far distant cotton was slipped I from these great cotton fields to < South Caiolina cotton mills. Ii is < now shipped from Indian Territory, ; Oklahoma and north Texas direct to 1 France, Germany, England and other i 1 foreign paits, also to Boston and | I Eastern points. ! I There are dealers in Gainesville, : Texas, a small town within four miles | ' of the Oklohoma line, who handle j . 5o,00u bales of cotton and do not go ! on the street to buy it, but gather it | in from small dealers exclusively. i | | "What can be the outlook for people i ] in South Carolina who depend on | i cotton ! At this point in the subject 1 I am halted. Yet the further investi- j i gatiou must be made. The sooner j 1 the better for us. lb X. L. ; I > ? - Arc Ycur Hogs Sick? The prevalence of disease among hogs in this section leads me to ic mind our people that the Depait- j ; ment of Agriculture has issued an exhaustive bulletin on Hog Cholera, or Swine Plague. I sent out several thousands copies of this valuable j woik t> people throughout the DH~ | trict, and interested some of the druggists in keeping on hand the remedies suggested by the Department. I will take pleasure in send ing this Bulletin to any one. d( siting it. The medicine re commended by the department is a valuable remedy for tLc disease, but it is also valuable as a preventative. It would be wi.-e, therefore' to treat hogs that are apparently well. It might not be amiss in this connection to remind our people also, that the disease is communicated almost entirely by cont ict with the diseased animals. This renders it of utmost importance that sick auiuials be kept apart from other stock, and that the carcases of hogs that have died of the disease, be burned or buried beyond the reach of dogs, birds and other scavengers. A dog or a buzzard that has been feeding on a diseased car ; ties., ige. Prompt and 2ass may piss through or over twenty farms dropping the disease genus as they go. This explains why cholera is found breeding out four and live miles away from any infected farms, when there is no \i>il>le means of contact. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

The treasurer of 1 - I one of the Fall River mills who was , :l willing to discuss the matter said he : t I j i regarded this cut as the beginning of 1 a serious time, not only for the Fall j j River print mills, but for all the cot- j ! ton mills in Xew Kngland. The key j I to the whole situation, he said, is the j I relative cheapness of southern labor, | | which could not be better shown j | than by the f ict that it cost the same ! j mill in (1 corgi a or North Carolina ' j ! 1 '2c. to produce a pound of mate- J j rial and in Xew Fngltnd tie. With ' j this fact in mind it is evident that j j the cut of 10 per cent, is not going to j I help'matters much and the only j thing that will do any good at pies- j I -~M? i i: . l in . .. | cm win ue nnucui cm ui su> ui j ! 2") p r cent, 'lhis would inevitably ! j bring on a strike, but, with a cut of j j 10 or 11 per edit., lie says iheic ! s [ would be little likelihood of a strike, j | as the operatives are well acquainted j with the conditions and know that a j reduction of some kind is necessary, j j Ewn this would still leave a dif i j f-re lice of about 2~> per cent on the | t j cost of the labor in favor of southern 1< j mills, too great a dilbwertcc to strug- | c I gle against successfully. j h In the lirst place, says the treas- j c urer, the southern mills have every j tl | natural ad van lagc they have cheaper j r cotton and less burdensome taxation, j (] Some of the big mills in Fall liiver, ! tl for instance, have a ycaily payment s; j of ?10,000, sir,.000 and even *20,000 a in taxes to make, whereas in Gcor- s; d,i and North Carolina the mills are ! ii t r> j in many instances exempted from p i taxation for 10 or 1*2 years. It is in 1, i labor, however, the groat dill'--re nee e | lies, according to the official quoted, J b for the labor in the ^outh is as good I p as it is here and taken as a whole is j e about M per cent, cheaper. The j ti southern laborers have had about 1<? 1 years training in mills started by experienced cotton manufacturers and (I attend as many machines and turn j v out just as good work as operatives j s in the best New Kuglaml mills. An | u , other great advantage the southern 1 i1 mills have is not being hampered by c i legislation. In Massachusetts the ; ^ hours of laborers are limi ed to 5$ a j week, while in the south they are I ? unlimited.
