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.

CAt?otiN, S. 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 ;

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?

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

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."

Extraordinary Beard Growths.
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

ever offered child-bearing1 wo?
man. I have been a mid-wife
for many years, and in each
case where "Mot ue its' Friend"
was used it accomplished won?
ders and relieved much suffer?
ing. It is the best remedy for
rising of the Breast known,
and worth the price for that
alone. Mas. M. M. Brewster,

take, several others, notably Louis
Coulon, a French sculptor, and Rich?
ard Latter, u London bird fancier,
having beards which exceed the length
of that of the Barton County farmer
by several feet. 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?

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?

white as snow, he being 69 years of
age. The beard of Mr. Latter, the

'The Successful Advertizer
Is the ui3n who writefi something tb
people will read, and reading, believe. 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. Som
handle one.kind, some another, but the
all realize, if they have any business sens
at all, that in order to make that businet
a permanent success it is absolutely nece*
sary to give the people the very best m8
terial. 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.
