THE COT TON MARKET GLUT rED.

Southern lanters to be Urged to Diver- ti
uIfy their Coopn. e
ST. Louis, De.. 30.-The deplorable y
condition of the cotton market is just
now causing a great dleal of speculation ca
and discussion as to the cause and rem- ki
edy. L. C. Ball, secretary of the George b,
Taylor Commission Company, said on 0
the s.ibject: it
"hre present low price is to be attri
bited to the enormous receipts, whch r
show so gicat an excess over thoso of 81
last year, when tile crop of last year was
one of the largest ever raised. Last a
year, after this time, 30 i,er cent., of the
cotton came in sight, whereas this year
the season has be, u a phenomenal one w
for forwarding the crop, there being v<
practically nothing to interfere with its ai
movement, and thus it is claimed that P
irom 80 to 874 per cent.. of the crop is
already in the market. At present, there It
ire la:ge s0cks, not only in the larger t
interior markets, but in the great specu- 0
lative centres as well, par icularly New
York and Liverpool. Soi-,e factors are
inclined to the beliet that the holding of
large stocks in New York is not a soe"ce
of weakness, but of s 'ength, because if tj
this coLon is held there as an Invest- al
ment by the factors of New York, who ti
really control the market, they will T
make it a point to see that they get a ai
proiit out of it. I k'now that tie majori- a
ty of' the col-in merchiats will s:-out c
this idea as rink heresy, but the ma- e
jority is not alhi as in the right." 01
In tile course of a lonz conversation
on the subject. Mr. W. M. Seuter said:
"he planters oh the South are raising
too mnuch cotton. They ought to diver- t
sity their crops, raise less cotton, more n
corm and more ive stock. They would fr
do well to allow a portion of their land la
to lie fallow for a time. It, will do the fc
soil good to rest; or it might be utilized pi
iml pastuling stock. The producuon of c1
cotton ou1I it to be de :reased at least 25 VI
per cent. I think the cotton iierchiait,s tc
of the country w;ll soon take sAteps to P,
urge uponi the planters. through the me
dium oi the press, the necessity of turn
ing their land to other uses Iesides the t
raising o1 cotton. At 71 cents It does ti
not pay the planter. List year at this Il
time the price was '. ceiits. during the th
'panic,' or depression rather, It. only. w
dropped to 8 5-8 cents. I think cotton fac- 8u
tors ouit, to unite in all appeal to the inl
comnlilli11 sense of the planter not to raise P
that, which does not command its value bi
in the market or a price that will yield fO
himn a prolit on his investment of land, al
laibor and nmaterial.>, t
Mi'. Seuter's hint that "'steps wvill soont
be taken'' led to an investagat,ion whichi
deCv(!Ohed the kaet that there will he held t
at, Aemphis JTanua- y 8 a meeting of' the m
Southern State agricultural commission- of
ers. The cit object of thie meeting is N
to consider 11lan1 for diversifying South- tri
will agriultu at porduct. Especially anL
wilthe conmmissioniers discuss the topic ce
"O(verproduct ion ot Cot.toii as Rtelated wv

,r," the Governor continued, "becausc
e Legislature has not been with ine,
it I hope you'll give mea Legislaturt
xt year that will stand by me. I'l
e that I get one."
Governor Tillman is said to have re
rred to some members of the Legisla
re as rotten wood, and said they float
to the top when the great reform
ovement swept over the State last
ar.
He compared the Ilaskellites to moc
sins. Ile said a black onake can be
lied with one blow, but it takes two
ows to dispatch a moccasin. The sec
id blow would be given the Jaskell
as next year.
At the conclusion of the Governor's
marks Senator Irby made a short
eenh and invited the crowd up to
eak to the Governor. There was a
ish and it is supposed everybody had
chance to sbake hands.-News.
Thte Greenville Mountain City l'iho,
hich is understood to be strongly la
)rable to the administration, prints
i account of the meeting at Laurens
irtof which is as follows:
The intelligence of Governor Till
an's arrival here created genuine enu
kusiasin and spread like wild tire, not
ily in the city, but in the country a
ell, so much so that, notwithstanding
te cold weather, he was serenaded b3
very large crowd of both city an(
)untry people last night.
Two brass bands led the cheering
ironi to Senator Irby's residenc<
)out 1 p. m. Cheer after cheer reni
we air for Tillman, Irby and Shell
lie Governor appeared on the piazz
id was intrcduced by Senator Irby it
few well chosen words. When tht
'ies for Tilliman had subsided the Gov
'nor in his inimitable style, deliveret
je of his characteristic, strong, tell
ig, though necessarily brief, speeches
.e began by thanking them for theii
rand ovation, and expressing his grati
,ation at meeting them again, al
tough his mission to this place wa.
)t political, but solely to get a respitt
omn the exacting and corroding officia
bor to which lie had been subjected
r some time, and therefore wai noi
'epared to make a speech. le de
ared that at the expiration of his first
!ar's service as executive, lie was ablc
report that while many of hi
edges had been redeemed, yet a few
id not been.
Among the number of those not re
temed, were the rail road bil.t he con
itutional amendment, and the reduc
)n of salaries. The reason for this
Ilure was, that the great strength of
e farmer's movement in the year 189C
is a source of weakness. There wa
ch a land slide, or ground swell. that
stead of his crowd being like a disci
ined army they were like an un
idled mob that carried evarything be.
re it and, hence. elected unsuitable
.d unworthy legislators in many in
mices. T'he reason that lie assigned
not approvIng the tax bill was that
ewould be but $130,000, and 1t
>uld take at least S3C0.000 to liidate
a Januiary interest on the govern
ant debt and the current expenses
the government. That the
iws anld Courier had already
ed to injure the State's credit
d wvas eager for an opportunity to
nsure him for appoving a bill that
)uld have a tend(enlcy to t hat edd
hile, therefore, lie could not conmsist
tly sign the bill, yet he di not feel
liberty under all the circiumstanes~
veto it after the guardians of the
rite had passedl it. So, he .iet it be
me a law by his failure to return it
the general assembly wIthin the
ree days required iby law. The Gov
lor alluded to the uinprecedenited and
icily uniwa'ranted vtti'ication to
cli he had been subjected from the
to of the "March convention" up to
a present p)eriod by the opposition
ess of the State, but said it did( not
'erve him from his duty. lie accept
their reproach rather than their
inciple.i. As to these curs of iJaskell
n that are barking at hits heels andl
ese blood( hounds of envy and per
Dal malignity that are aiuming at his
roat, lie dlefies and scorns them as lhe
er did. Hlesald that he was as sure to
tihe next governor of South Carolina
the world stands, and seemed only to
fret that the sIgns of the times indli
Ged that the oppositioni would not
riure cnurage to try to b)eat him,
nacious were they that he was so
aply entrenched in the hearts and af
.tions of the people, in conclusion,
assertedl with much feeling that he
d faithfully, fearlessly and honestly
ved them as chief executive, anid
uld continue to do so for the next
ce years. So far as his t raducers
re concernedi, lie feared nothilng on
'th, above the earth, belowv tihe earth
ave to do wrong.
senator Irby was then vociferously
ledi for and although on his native
ith and not expecting to speak, could
L get out of it. But, like hie always is,
was equal to the occasion. HIe thank
them for their tribute of respect
d to his distinguished frien(1 and(
ust-the only chief magistrate that
ith Carolina over had that came from
rank and file of the peole andl
refore, the only one whose heart beat
unisoni with theirs. Hie said that,
hough "our friendf the enemy" were
enitirely dead, yet no cominliatlon

or heaven could defeat Ti'llman for

gaters needed one more good whip

y were tihe "back number" in South
rolina politics and If they only vent
it there would not be enough of
