fARMERS' ll BUREAU. It is estimated that New York cotton exchanges have been selling more cotton to the square inoh off of their Wall street cottou plantations than Southern cotton growers have sold from an average square rod of their cotton farms. -? When you have determined to go into the long staple cotton growing business, do it right or you will surely get left. Enough men ic eaofi vi cinity should grow long cotton .suffi cient to justify putting iu a roller gin or a needle gin, then you oan make all things work right through your organizations in ginning and selling, too. Good authorities state that South Carolina used last year over five mil lion dollars' worth of fertilizers and that at least two million dollars of that amount was lost-washed out by applying the more soluole nitrate goods before their crops had roots in the soil to take it up. This washing out of this costly arumoniated gooda by heavy rains before plant roots are in the soil to take up this costly plant food is deserving of more seri ous thought than some people give it. Try side application and tell us about it. " Have you ever gone over a field where there were many terrace banks, and made a thorough calculation about how much of the best land wat lost thereby, growing uothiug but weeds? If not, do it, then you maj be in the proper state of mind tc . make a chauge by sowing dowu youi lands evory other year. Plow deepei and plow down every terrace bani* on your farm jusi as soon as you cai get enough root or other vegetable matter in the soil to hold it together We have put the thing to the test and tho terrace banks are going dowi as fast as we can get to them. Ou; terrace banks and niggers aro grow ing beautifully less and less profita ble every year. -? What a power for good of th< whole of the South these suppl; merchants could wield if they wonk only compel their improvident, all cotton farmers to grow their owi food crops. This would enforce di versified farming and at the sami time reduce the acreage in cotton which would, in turn, improve th land, increase the yield per aore am reduce the risk and loss to the sup ply merchant to a minimum, b; causing better prices for their cus tomers' products. Our better clas of more business-like farmers coull afford to stand their cotton off th market and watch this dog eat do? riot that comes off at the winding u of every crop if it was not for th fact that cotton bears take advanl ago of this pull Dick, pull Devi melee between the mortgaged crop and the money lender, and swoo down upon the whole cotton ero with their own set prices, whio gives spinners enough cotton to g npon, while cotton bears either fore the better class of farmers to eithe sell at a loss or store their cotton an incur the expense of storage and ic cur the expense of storage and ir suranoe, Now these statements of facts i regard to the cotton growing bus! ness in the South should make i plain to every thinking, business cot ton grower and all supply merchant and bankers' organizations, Farmen Union and Cotton Association me in the whole South that we min have a better understanding wit each other and come together befor we can man tho whole situation c both growing and marketing ou money crop-cotton. Growing th crop woll ami ooli'mg it badly wi hurt evory one in the South, excepl ing those in the speculating businesi and thoHc that are in league wit them. No matter how well we ar organised at the selling end of on cotton business we can no more fore an overproduction of cotton dow tho consumers' throats, without caui ing a revolt, than you could force whole pot of duck o pie down man's throat that was not airead hungry, without protest. Of eourf a large warehouso system, under tb direot control of tho producers < cotton, could stay or teniporaril stave off a calamity of one or tw bumper crops, but repetition of ovei production in any crop means suicirl or inevitable destruction. . We do not advocate or contend that every tradesman of the Soatb should saorifioe their independent and distinot organizations in order that we may all come together in one general concert of cotton in behalf of a better and more stable price for cotton. This is not neoessary. We want to see the bankers' associations strong enough to control the supply merchant in a way to force diversified farming in the cotton belt. We want to see the supply merchants organ ized and controlled by men of their own body that can Bhow these mer obants that diversified farming moans batter profits to the farmer, and that when farmers have more money there is more money for the mer chants and every one else. We want to see the Cotton Association men say to the Farmers' Unios, you are right, make your organizations strong and as distinctly a farmers' organiza tion as the bankers' association is made of bankers. We want stronger and better organisations of all inter ests of the South. If we are to prosper we must not raise up one organization of a legitimate business for the purpose of fighting another organization that does not obstruct the way of our coming together for profitable prices for cotton. Our Farmers' Union must never admit its inability to meet with any and all other organizations of trades men in the South for fear that our delegations might bo tainted by the oontaot, or not afraid to put up against the best orators and business men in any other calling on any con ventional proposition for a general conferenoo for the betterment of the conditions of thc whole people of thc South, who are dependent directly or indirectly upon profitable pricet for the South's cotton. We, as or ganizations, must cease to tight eaol other and combine our strength as : solid South for sol*d good businesi principles of the whole cotton grow ing and cotton marketing industry We must act like statesmen, not lik< fools who quarrel ovoc pennies an< small poor chickens, while our dol lars and great big fat turkdys art trotted ont of the South to feed ant enrich other countries. Let us hav< peace among ourselves and enjoy tin fat of our own land. - t*tm No Cass on Record.

Culpepper, Va., March 7.-Th "unwritten law" triumphed in Vir ginia to-day, when the jury in th case of James and Philip Strothei charged with the murder of Willian Bywaters, who was shot to deatl within an hour after he had beei compelled to wed their sister, Viols brought in a verdict of acquittal. Applause broke out in the cour room when the verdiot of "no gullly" was announced. The ac quitted men were congratulated b an enthusiastic throng. Mrs. Jame Strother fell weeping into the arm of her husband, who mingled hi tears with hers. Several of th jurors also wept. Judge Harrison's voice shook wit emotion and tears rolled down hi cheeks when he said to the jury : "I am glad to hear you say tha the chastity of women shall be prc tooted and that no punishment wi be meted out to the man who deal with the man who invades his hom? I have no censure fur your verdie Go to your homes and I hope yo will find them as you left them."

Keep Your Nerve It is nerve energy that runs the organs of your body. The storage battery is the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, and from this battery nerve force is sent out through the system of nerves. To keep the body healthy you must have plenty of nerve force; if you have not, the organs work imperfectly, the circulation is sluggish, digestion bad, appe tite poor, kidneys inactive, and aches, pains and misery are the penalty. You can keep the system strong with Dr. Miles' Nervine. It assists in generating nerve energy; it strengthens the nerves and makes the whole system strong and vigorous. "I take pleasure In recommending* Dr. Miles' Nervine to those suffering from nervous prostration, Insomnia and melancholy. Attar several months suffering; from above diseases I tried this medicine and found imme diate relief. It soothes and strength ens th? nerves, chases away the gloomy and depressing thought* and gives the sufferer renewed strength and hope. It ia a superb nerve re storer." JUDOS JACOB SEEMANN.
