The Greatest Line ot INoveltiea In the City. Cheaper Than Cotton. An intelligent farmer, who is not disposed to believe everything that he hears and does not take anything for granted, talked to a Reporter for the Netcs and Courier yesterday in a very entertaining way about the farmers and fertilizers. His views were so interesting and some of his conclu? sions so surprising that what he said is given as follows : "The drop in the price of cotton from seven to five cents," he said, "may well cause consternation to the planters. Some ten years ago it fell from twelve to eight cents, and then, as now, planters were advised to plant less cotton, to raise more corn and meat and, before all else, to quit using fertilizers, but this advice was un? heeded and, for reasons satisfactory to himself, the planter continued to plant all- the cotton he could, to buy his corn and meat and to use fertilizers. "With the drop in the price of cot? ton from seven to five cents the same advice to plant les? cotton, raise more food and use no fertilizers is offered the planters. But the situation under which wo face five-cent, possibly four cent, cotton is entirely unlike any before known by the planter. As to planting less cotton and thereby en? hancing the price : High priced cot? ton has its disadvantages. It has in? duced the most strenuou? efforts tc produce cotton in other countries, and these efforts have been very successful and are recognized as a menace to oui boasted supremacy in cotton produc tion. As foreign grown wheat hat forced down the world's price, so it is that foreign grown cotton alone has forced down the price in this country This foreign competition has come t( stay, and we must meet itbyimprovec methods and increased economies, s< that possibly we can grow even four cent cotton at a profit, and thus re cover our former supremacy in thi markets of the world. With five-cen cotton the cotton belt has all th< natural factors for manufacturing Ich grade'eotton goods for a large portioi of the world. The advice so persist ently given for years that we rais more of our own food is now being s well followed that this season a goo* portion of the planters commence th year with enough. Corn and meat o their own raising for the year's sup "As to the advice that less or n fertilizers be used, there is more to b said than upon either of the othe points referred to above. ThaJ. th South will continue to plant cotton i much the same proportion as heretc fore there are good reasons to believe It is now largely growing its own food is so thoroughly satisfied with th result that it will oontinue to grow it corn and meat in increased propoi tions each year. When cotton sold n 15 cents a pound, on much of the lan it could not be grown at a profit with out the use of. fertilizers. About 187 fertilizers were introduced and thei use increased from year to year froi that time until last year some 800,00 to 900,000 tons were used under cotton "When cotton sold for 15 cents pound' fertilizers sold for $75 a ton Fertilizers at that time furnished les than one-half the percentage of plan food that they furnish now. At firs only fifty pounds per acre was used It was found advantageous to increas this quantity, until now the averag used per acre is 200 pounds. To pa; for this 200 pounds with cotton at 1 cents a pound and fertilizer at $75 pe ton took 50 pounds of cotton, or $7.50 with cotton at 10 cents and fertilizer at $40 a ton it still takes 50 pounds o cotton to pay for the 200 pounds o fertilizer for one acre. Cotton at I cents a pound and fertilizer at $30 i ton, 50 pounds of cotton pays for 201 pounds of fertilizer ; with cotton at centB a pound and fertilizer at $20 i ton, 50 pounds of cotton still pays fo: 200 pounds of fertilizer. The plante: has always paid the proceeds of 5( pounds of cotton for the fertilizer fo an acre. This he did, and found ; satisfactory profit in it, when fertili zer-sold for $75 per ton. Through al the stages of the decline in price oi cotton from 15 cents to 4 cents pei pound the cost of fertilizer has kepi an even pace with it, so that for the past twenty years the fertilizer for ar acre in cotton could be paid for with the proceeds of 50 pounds of cotton. Remarkable as this statement may appear it is nevertheless absolutely true. To this statement may be added the fact that for his 50 pounds of cot? ton the planter now receives twice aa much plant food as he received for it twenty-four years ago. "There has been no time in the history of cotton growing when fer? tilizer could be used at a better per? centage of profit to the planter than now. Upon the ordinary impoverish? ed soil 100 pounds of cotton is a fair average yield. This means starvation to the planter, hence for years the planter has felt it a prime necessity to pay for his supply of fertilizer, as without that he could notfarm. With 200 pounds of fertilizer per acre 250 pounds of lint is a fair average crop. This shows a net gain of 100 pounds of lint per acre from fertilizer costing 50 pounds of cotton or 200 percent. Without fertilizer the planter will make nothing over cost of cultivation, or would show a positive loss. Using fertilizer it returns its cost in cotton, also a profit of double its cost. Of course the price at which the cotton is sold makes a great difference to the planter, but his percentage of profit remains the same. If cotton is at 4 cents a pound, .but $4 profit per acre is made by the use of fertilizer, but this is a net profit. Enough cottou having been raised to pay for the fer? tilizer leaves the price of the 100 pounds as a clear profit from the u.sc of a fertilizer, which is 200 per cent on its cost. "There are dominating advantages in favor of the planter in the present situation that should be considered. They need pay out nothing for corn ii_ half of what they cost a few years ago, many of th-jm less than one-half. Until very recently food and all other supplies werubought on a year'scredit at very large profits to the merchant. With so much of the cost of living as is represented by the cost of corn and meat, and the amount represented by decreased prices of all other family supplies, the planter should have at the end of the year an amount of cash in hand th;?t will enable him to buy a portion at least of his store goods for cash?he thereby improves his credit with the merchant, who will sell him any goods he finds (t necessary to buy On Credit at a much lower price than he charged him when the whole year's supplies were bought oh credit. "Through the improved quality of '? fertilizer the planter now gets double the amount of plant food Tor the per? centage of hi.; crop that he got twenty years ago. He can now buy the fer? tilizer for an acre for the same propor? tion of the crop as he has ever been able to buy it, hence is getting plant food at half the cost he got it twenty years ago. Tie j?ow buys his store goods at one half the jiritfe he paid a few years ago. He now need pay out nothing for corn and meat for his family or his hands, consequently will pay out lets for wages than ever before, So that at the end of the year a larger percentage than ever be? fore of the proceeds of his crop will be left as c?.sh in hand. A careful study of the situation leads to the opinion that the planter is as well, even better able, to buy fertilizers than ever before, provided, of course, that he raises his corn and meat. Also, that ii' present low prices hold the competition of foreign cotton growers may decrease and disappear. While the planter may not formulate the above facts in the same way they are presented here, he is conversant with most of them and is laying out his business for the year, and will plant as much cotton as he can, and use fertilizer upon it, after having arranged to raise his year's supply of meat, corn pnd syrup.'' Abbeville Farmers Greenwood, S. C, Jan. 23.?At s public meeting of the farmers of this county, held yesterday at Abbeville the following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, we, the farmers of Ab beville county in convention assent bled, fully realizing the financial depression vhich is paralyzing all th( industries eof the country) and espe oially laying its blighting touch upor agriculture, 'the art of all arts, th< science of all science, the life of al life,' do earnestly appeal for the co operation of all farmers in the adop tion of such measures as may aver impending bankruptcy and ruin. In stead of the cheerful song of content ment and happiness which shoulc bless the home of the American farm er, we find agriculture, the basis of al national prosperity, languishing anc dying, while the universal wail of hare times and suffering is heard all ovei the land. That this anomalous con dition of affairs should exist durim seasons of abundant harvest is evi dently the result of corrupt financia legislation in the interest of capital ists. While we are powerless to rem edy this evil, save through legislation yet it becomes us, as husbandmen anc patriotic citizens, who cherish th< love of home and country, to adopi such measures' in our agricultural pur suits as may enable us to meet the emergency now confronting us. There fore, be it 1. Resolved, That the excessive arej heretofore devoted to the productior. of cotton bo greatly decreased, and in> stead of making it the principal crop, increase the acreage of corn, so as tt make it supply the demands of the farmers. 2. That farmers devote more atten? tion to the production of sorghum, potatoes, poas, hay and other food crops. ' 3. Instead of having our meat hou? ses in St. Louis and Chicago, let us erect them upon our own premises, and fill them with home productions. 4. That the excessive use of com? mercial fertilizers be discontinued, and when purchased, it be upon the cotton option basis. 5. That the Railroad Commissioners take immediate steps to have a reduc? tion on freight for all fertilizers at the rate of 40 per cent, on all through freight, and 50 per cent, on local freight. 6. That wr; encourage the erectior of cotton factories, and all other en I terprises in our midst, which will em ploy labor and utilize the raw pro ducts of the land. 7. Wc pledge ourselves to carry out the foregoing resolutions, and cal! upon the farmers of South Carolim I to unite in doing likewise. 8. That the press of the State be requested to give publicity to these I resolutions. I ?

C, Jan. 2-i?The Board of Trustees of Clemson college adjourned at 2 o'clock this morning, faring been in session most of the time since the morning of the 22d. After much discussion the following reduc? tions in salaries were made: Presi? dent $3,500 to $2,700; professors of mathematics, physics, history,mechan? ics and English $2,000 to $1,800 each ; assistant professor of agriculture $1,200 to $900; dairyman $1,200 to $1,100; instructor free hand drawing $1,200 to $1,000; instructor mechanical depart? ment $900 tb$(J00. The salaries of the foundryman and two foremen in the shops were slight? ly reduced. Provision was made for organization of the fitting school, with Professor Morrison as head master, with three assistants now acting as tutors. A resolution was adopted that no work would be furnished students, ex? cept in mechanical hall. The Board regret exceedingly having to take such action, but the expected shortage of $3,500 in the income makes such ac? tion a necessity. If the tag tax should be more than anticipated they promise to give the boys the benefit of it and give them work. Resolutions were unanimously pass? ed asking our Senators and Congress? men to take such action as will secure Lieutenant Donaldson as Command? ant for another year. Otherwise he will be sent to South Dakota in July.

Delaware .Gets a Pr'z5! According to The Philadelphia Re? cord Delaware inaugurated a goveruoi last Tuesday who can neither read noi write. Joshua Marvil, the new governor, h a republican. He is a business marj of good repute, and is worth aboul $150,000 which he made by hard worl and shrewd investments. As he is unable to read or write he deliverec no inaugural address, the first tim< such a thing has happened in th< history of the State. Mr. Smithers his secretary of State, is an educate< man, and it is said that he will prac tically be the real governor. Undoudtedly this is one of the mos startling sensations in America poli tics. Delaware is one of the oldes States, where public education an( higher education have been popula fads nearly two centuries. "Why di< the republicans pass over numerou capable and educated men in thei ranks and make Marvil their candidate and why did the people elect him Is education a failure ? Is there sucl an overproduction of educated men ii this country that an illiterate man o strong individuality and native com mon sense is the natural superior o his fellows who have become a commoi herd of incapables under the wither ing blight of a system of culture whicl has placed them all on a dead level o mediocrity ? These are interesting questions, am while their discussion is not likely t> convince anybody that we can d {J without the rudiments of an educa tion, people will doubtless be strength I j ened in the growing conviction tha the avenues to fortune and high posi tion are not necessarily closed to mei who have never mastered a single book Thc governor of Delaware may some i I times find his ignorance of letters em L I barrassing and humiliating, but hii business judgment and knowledge o human nature will probably "cnabh hjm to choose good advisers and cfE cient subordinates, and the chance! are that he will give his State a sounc administration.

Atlanta Constitution. Two Snake Stories. There is a very long, ravenous snake at police headquarters, says the At? lanta Constitution. It escaped from a Decatur street dime museum some weeks ago, and hibernated for the while in the house of a Russian Jew, where it was captured alive by a pa? trolman, who had heard the hoarse screams of the horrified Hebrew. The presence of the reptile revived many marvelous snake storios among the men at the station house. "Seeing that snake cat mice," said one of the officers, "reminds me of an experience I had in south Georgia one spring on a fishing excursion. We were out on a long stretch of wa? ter called Black Lake. It was about the last of May, and the fish had just commenced to bite good. There were two of us in the boat, besides a negro man who stayed on the lake and rowed the people who came there to the best fishing places. Wc had pulled up under an old cypress tree, and were jerking in the bream as fast as they could bite, when we heard a noise like a rat squeaking in the moss up over our heads. All of us looked up, and before wc knew what was happen? ing the dead limbs began to crack and something fell through the moss and landed at the end of the boat where the negro was sitting. We couldn't tell what it was at first, but that negro gave a war whoop you could hear a mile, and dived into the water like a frog. It was fifteen feet deep, and he came up a long ways from the boat, still yelling. I got up to see what was the matter, aud found a large coachwhip or moccasin, I couldn'l tell which, wrapped around a youn? squirrel, which it had torn from its nest in the moss. The snake was trying to swallow the young squirrel alive, but I killed the snake and saved its victim from a tragic death. The squirrel lived and I carried it home tc my children, who raised it up and tamed it. The last time I saw the ne? gro he was paddling for the shore." silent listener to the tale. "Were you ever treed by a snake ? Well, you needn't want to be. That's the funniest feeling I ever had in my life, and that's why I hate a snake worse than I hate a mad dog. It was several years before I left Campbell county. I was crossing an old straw field one day, and I wasn't looking before me, when all of a sudden I was about to step on a big blacksnakc stretched out in the path. I turned about to get a rock to kill it, but the snake was watching me, and his head was raised about sis inches out of the grass. When I started for the snake it start? ed for me. I thought it was best to get out of the way, but it wasablack snakc, and you know what that means, I lit out down the path the other way, and that snake was right behind inc. I saw it was gaining on me, and I made up my mind to get out of the way. I struck a persimmon tree and went up it in a jiffy. But that blast? ed creature had it in for mc. I thought I was all right and looked down. The snake crawled around the bottom of the tree once or twirtc. Then it rest? ed for a while and caught its breath. After a while it began to crawl up the tree. It wrapped itself about the bark and coiled higher and higher. I let it get up to the forks of the tree, then I got out on a limb And dropped to the ground. I was so scared that I could scarcely walk, but I made my way home and got my gun. The snake was coiled about the tree still when I got back. I shot it into atoms. Since that time, gentlemen, the sight of a snake makes me weak." A Patent Lawyer. A lawyer who makes a specialty of patent business, no matter just where his office is located, was called to the far West in a case involving a mort? gage on a farm. The preliminary hearing was before an old-fashioned justice of the peace, who had no high regard for the ways of men from the city. At some point in the case, the magistrate put in a few remarks, and the visiting lawyer collided with him. The discussion grew warm, and at last the magistrate, forgetting his dignity and his position, became personal. "Who are you, anyway ?" he blurt? ed out. "Well, replied the lawyer, "I'm an attorney." "P'raps you are, but I never heard one talk like you do. What kind of a one are you ?" "I'm a patent attorney." The magistrate rubbed his chin io: thought. "Well, all I've got to say is," h( Baid slowly, "that when the patenl expires, I don't believe you can eve: get it renewed again."

Men with enormous growths of heard are more numerous than the average man imagines. One of the earliest of the American bearded freaks was Louis Jasper, who lived in Southern Virginia at about the time of the close of the revolution?r}' war. His beard was 9* feet long and correspondingly thick and heavy. lie could take his mus? tache between his fingers and extend his arms to their full length and still the ends of the beards were over a foot beyond his finger-tips. In 1880 Philip Hansen, a planter residinc near Corinth, Miss., was be? lieved to be the possessor of the long? est beard of any man in the known world. He is said to have sent the Washington Anthropological Society single hairs plucked from his chin which measured 72 inches (sis feet) in length. In 1882 Adam Kirpin, a German, 66 years old, at that time residing in Chicago, claimed to be the owner of the longest growth of whiskers. He was a large man, nearly six feet in height, and had a beard more than twice the length of his body. Kirpin's beard had been growing steadily for 22 years. Legrand Larcw, who lived in Barton County in our own State of Missouri at last accounts, has a beard the very sight of which would cause a Turkish prophet to turn green with envy. Mr. Larow was born in Tompkins County, New York, and came West, settling in Barton County in 1877. His beard, which is all Missouri growth, was over seven feet long a year ago, and was still growing. On several occasions Mr. Larow has been "written up" as being the owner of the longest >\otbers? Friend" ... Is the greatest blessing ever offered child-bearing1 wo? man.

Coulon, the French hirsute freak, was compelled to begin -shaving when only 12 years of age. At the age of 14 the beard was grow? ing so rapidly that the boy was forced to shave every day. At 15 ho aban? don :d the idea of trying to keep his r..ce smooth and beardless like those of other boys, and by the end of the year had a beard two feet in length. At present Mr. Coulon's beard is be? tween eight and nine feet long and as white as snow, he being 69 years of age. The beard of Mr. Latter, the London man, is now the longest beard known, being 12} feet in length. He wears it braided and wound around his ucck, and at a distance is often mistaken for a snake-charmer.?St. Louis Republic. ? Schoolmate?"Why do you never touch your piano?"

L this age of education and enlightenmenl when men read and think for themselves all that stuff about "selling goods cheape than your competitors buy them," bdn; the "only compeicut dealers in tho line, "handling better stuff than anybod else," Ac , is mcro clap trap, and subject the writer and the firm back of it to th contempt of all iight-thinsiug people. Th man who has something to offer, and the tells the folks about in a plain, busincs way, is the man who "gets there," an getting there, stands. Lots of people handle Paint.

This we have tried to do, and at price that puts it in the reach of all. In this connection we call attention t the fact that crops are abcut laid by, tim is plentiful, and a little paint not onl freshens and beautifies, but improves won derfully the sanitary condition of th premises. If your house is all right maj be the fence needs a co&".. A little Pain would keep that old buggy from fallin dowu, and the wagon might last a year c two longer by spending seventy-five cenl or a dollar in Paint on it. Remember this, the longer you put 3 off the more it takes and the less good i does. Remember another thing, it cost just as much, and taL.a just as much time to have cheap paint put r as it does goo< Paint. Always buy the <;st, even if yoi pay more for it.
