Eadv, will and bequeath to the ten cotton States over one hundred million dollars each 3 ear for the next twenty years out of the good reserve of the Eaglish Government, and I appoint the ten Governors of said States as executors and administrators to execute and carry out as hereinafter ret forth for the benefit of the said States and the people thereof for school purposes, etc. "First, let each of the ten Governors cf these States appoint three commissioners to represent them, and these thirty commissioners meet and formulate this plan which will make all the people happy. Let each State pay the farmer seven cents per pound for all the middling cotton raised. Let each State sell this cotton at nine cents per pDund and by this arrangement they make ten dollars per bale profit. Now, suppose they make ten million bales and they it cannot sell over nine million bale?, then there is 10 per cent, to bo destroyed. Suppose Georgia raises one rmllirkn hnlpa and she is call Ution to MMAMVM ?? ? r destroy 10 per cent.; she would burn up one hundred thousand bales which would cost her three and a half million dollars. While on her million bales she would have made ten dollars per bale or ten million dollars, so she would still have left over six million dollars to run her schools and State government. By this arrangement the whole business is in the hands of thirty commissioners, and the other twenty-seven commissioners will see that Georgia destroys her part. So everj body would be benefited, for the farmer knows that he will get seven cents and is happy. The merchant, banker and manufacturer will be pleased for it takes the speculation out of their business. The factory knows years ahead what rhis cotton is going to cost and can make contracts ahead for his goods, farmer's credit will be better for the merchant, and the banker will know ho is ooinor in aet, fnr his cotton. ~ ? e>"?o " D This is the only way the matter can ^ be handled, for thirty men can regulate price while millions of farmers cannot do so. "Second, I will give my executors and administrators a few pointers and suggestions that they can furnish the rest Some one might ask how do we know we could get nine cents? England has cried for our cotton at $1.00 per pound. "Why not want it now for ten centt>? England can go out of the cotton market two _ weeks in November, and by doicg so can take cff five dollar per bale or $50,000,000 cff the cotton crop as it is now. Now England names the price and takes the cotton; the other - way the States names the price andEngland takes the cotton. But some . one might say a tru&i! We do not trust them, but England's gold would come after this cottoD, and she would have to send more than one hundred million dollars of it to this country than she did last year for the same amount of cotton. ask hnw pan we nav for this ^?? - r"ai * cotton? All cotton delivered to the States or their agents before January 1st, pay them seven cents per pound between January and May seven and one quarter and after May seven and one-half cents. The States would sell the same way, and all this cotton would not be put on the inaiket at once, and factories would suit their wants in buying. E ich State would issue cotton certificates and the banks, merchants and farmers would help carry it. Certerficates would pass and be as good as gold, for the . State would have cotton behind each Jr one of them and that calls for England's geld at our own piice. Bj ^ this arrangement they say farmers ' would make too much cotton. Put a special tax on all corn bought by the _ firmer of?say twenty-five cents re? bushel, like on his inules so that if he bought three hundred bushels < f r corn he Daid 875.00 taxes to the State wbich would pay for the burning up t of two bales of his cotton. Y >u sr.y V it would cost money to handle this i business. Georgia would get a d;:"^ ference between hve cents and Lite w cents on one million bales wbich would be 8*2 >,000.000 more to come into the Slate and would remain here, p f >r her farmers would get ten mil l:on of it and the Sra*e the other ten t million. Suppose the States had to destroy twen'y percent or two million bales, Georgia would still have tbree million to run her government, for the school term could be increased to I ten months in the year, which would I take one-third of the hands out of the cotton fields. But say it only took one-fifth of them, that would decrease the crop twenty per cent, or two million bales, so there would be a surplus to burn up. The difference between five cents and nine cents is ?20 00 per bale, wLich would be $200,000,000 a year; in five years the South would have one billion dollars, enough to build factories to spin r\t tnri rjiiitorl in the CVCI t uaio V VUHUU ten States. To make the farmers deliver the cotton to the States and not sell to outsiders, have every bale tagged like guano and have the tags sold for ten dollars each, but the States put the tags on the cotton they buy. The cotton exported would briDg into the TJuited States over one hundred million more gold, so the whole country would be beneefited and made richer. ''This is the only way the cotton cm be bandied to advantage for alJ the people. "A company of two bucdred million dollars could be raised in thirty days to carry out thi3 plan if it could be controlled by private parties, but they cannot do it, but the States caD, by woi king together, do this, and then have laws enacted to meet and carry it out. If this is done then the South will assert its power and show to all nations the garden spot of the j world. So I, this day transfer this i estate into the hands of my executors and administrators and ask them the name of humanity to make their pecpie rich aDd happy. It is with you, will you servt?

To one wbo has seen the mountaiD region of North Carolina it seems incredible that so many thousands of people, in quest of pure air, magnificent scenery and healthful surroundings, should annually flock to the Adirondacks of New York aod the White Mouutain9 of New Hamp shire. These latter resorts do not compare in any respect with the North Carolina country. Their so- j called mountains are dwaifed by those of the "Old North State," j while, as for lakes, trout streams, | ' I hunting grounds and landescapes at j once gracious and majestic, there is no approach to a comparison. Yet, year after year, our people journey in regiments to New York and New Hampshire, spending vast ! sums of money for mountain cottages i and summer fare, while within eighteen hours of Washington is a region infinitely more attractive in every way?better for health, for bodily comfort, for outdoor sports, and for gratification cf the artistic senses. Everybody knows or has heard of Asheville. Thousands have enjoyed its wonderful scenery and have been restored to health by the life giving atmosphere and the ! balsamic zephers wafted from the ! mountain sides.

There is a district larger than the State of Massachutts, easily accessible by rail, well provided with excellent inns aDd the most picturesque driving roads, and with room for tens of thousands of summer homes in the most beautiful locations imaginable. The area is as large as that of Switzerland; the climate is more equable and wholesome; the opportunities for healthful outdoor life far more abundant and attractive. Northern people have begun to recognize the Southern States as refuges from their killing climate during February, March and April, and beautiful residences are springing up in Aiken, Thomasville and such point3 in the interior, while all along the coasts of Floiida and the Gulf, a3 far west as New Orleans, splendid and luxurious hotels are to be found in great numbers. But for the heated period the tide of travel turns ever northward, with its concurrent stream of money, notwithstanding the fact that in western North Carolina there are loftier mountain?, more gracious valleys, greater opportunities for fishing, hunting and open air recreations, and the most bracing and beautiful climate in the woild. This can be accounted for upon only one hypothesis?that the people generally know nothing of the unparalleled beauties and resources of North Carolina.

In this be says: Instead of criticising General Olis, i the country should place the respor- j sibility for the expenditure of lives i and treasure in the suppression of the Philippine insurrection upon Con- 1 gress for its delay in ratifying the < treaty of peace and in defeating the ' passage cf the Hull army bill. -From the date cf the signing of ! the protocol until the ratification of j peace our troops were occupying the ;owus and country falling into our possession in the war with SpaiD. j Under instructions a state of status J ]uo was being maintained until the ! 1 pleasure of the Senate could be made j mown.
