It is estimated now that the cotton crop of last year will be about 11,000, 000 bales, and as a consequence there cannot soon be a rise in the price. It is estimated that the Cuban war since it began three years ago has caused commercial losses to the United States aggregating more than $240,000,000. The Greenville News is informed that Capt. J. N. Kiog will run for : Congress in the Democratic primary in the Third District and that he is epposed to the dispensary. Women are coming to the front as bankers.

Surgeon General Wyman has received a dispatch to that effect and has ordered Surgeon Carter of the Marine hospital to investigate the matter and report. The Legislature has ^appropriated $350 for five hundred copies of Mc Crady's History of South Carolina. The copies bought are to be placed in , the libraries and other public institu tions of the State and all Colleges of the State, male and female. A bill has been framed for passage by the Virginia Legislature to "facili tate the creating of colonels." Any " gentleman who will take the oath of , office and subscribe to the anti-duel ! ing oath may become a colonel for life I upon the payment of a fee of one dol lar. Dollar colonels is a new fad. Japan is a game little bantam any Tf&j. It isn't long since she was ruf fling tip to the United States on the Hawaiian issue and now she is hiyioi the law down to Russia, Germany and France anenfc their "selfish policyjn the far East." It's .plain that any body who steps on the Mikado's lac quered boots will have to fight. The farmer gets more advice of one kind and another than any class of people that we know anything about, and as a rule takes very little of it. It is not often that we presume to of fer any advice, to them, feeling as sured that they know fciore about their business than we do, but we can't re frain from suggesting to them to plant less cotton this year than they did last. -m_ The cost of the last census as far as computed is stated at an aggregate of $11,553,462.50, that amtfunt of money having been appropriated for ex penses by Congress. It is pointed out by the Philadelphia Record that "this was at the rate of nineteen cents per capita for the whole popula tion in 1890 of 02,622,250 persons. If the statistics had been of reasonable accuracy, and if they could have been tabulated and given to the public in reasonable time, the expenditure would not have been deemed exces sive, but doubt of the verity of the statistics and delay in the publication have gone far to bring the propriety of such large expenditure into ques tion. Either inquiry should be less elaborate or more scientific.'" For the past twenty years econo mists predicted industrial develop ments on a scale that would surprise thcworld. Now we arc realizing the ! force of these prcdictioos. The re cent strikes at New Bedford, Mass., have awakened a feeling amongst all manufacturers North and South that to that section, where the raw materi al grows and where all the condition are highly favorable, belongs the man ufacturing of cotton goods. This is no longer a mere theory or surmise, but based on undeniable facts, that here where mills are established are superior advantages against serious disadvantages in the East, the cotton industry will prosper. What remains to be done at this moment is to em ploy proper efforts in a direction cal culated to foster and eucouragc the buildiDg of more mills. The question then arises, how are vre to accomplish these results? Our answer is. that with such a magnificent plant as late ly completed by the Anderson Power Company, and now under successful operation, wc should leave not a sin gle stone unturned f'<>r the purpose of securing more manufacturing enter prises for our town, no matter, whether small or large. Wc can justly s;>y that no town in the entire cott"n belt possesses such advantages. All that remains t."> be done is t;> make strong effort in the direction intimated, and our duty as citizens for the perpetua tiou of commercial and industrial su- | prcmacy will be discharged. Ander son enjoys the reputation for a wide a-wake, progressive town. Let us con tinue to be in line with the forces marching now towards building up more cotton industries. COTTON ACREAGE I $98. Many of our cotton planters appear to have reached the conclusion that over-production of cotton has nothing to do with the prevailing prices, and are not only closing their ears to fur ther argument on this subject, but are shaping their plans to plant fully as much, if not more, than the year pre vious. The associations attempted to be organized where this and other kindred subjects can be intelligently discussed arc not attended, while load after load of fertilizers are being hauled out, and all the plans for a large crop are being energetically car ried out. But there are thinking men in the Eastern States as well as in the cotton producing States who see the disasters awaiting our people should this 10,000,000 bales crop continue, and are modestly sounding a note of warning. Several weeks ago we pub lished a very exhaustive letter from Latham, Alexander & Co., of New York, on this subject, and we now in vite your attention to the following extracts from a letter on this subject written by K. 11. Doncy & Co., Hous ton, Texas, and published in the Gal veston News January 15th last : "The planters must'diversify their crops and plant less cotton or onr beauti ful land, with the most productive soil on earth, will produce pauperism, want and misery to those who have the power in their own hands to mould their destiny, ' They claim unless the teaant aud av erage farmer Will agree to plant a certain quantity of 4co:tou acreage' the merchants cannot and will not supply his wants. We have seen considerable of Texas life, and state, without hesitation, that the av erage Texas farmer lives poorer than any other. The land he tills will produce equal to any in the world, and if thrifty he could within a short time make him self altogether independent ot the mer chant. Instead of contracting debts, he would have money to spend with his merchant. "On most plantations the luxury of the garden is ignored. Luxuriant grasses, ready for hay, about the time cotton pick ing commences, are neglected, allowed to waste, instead of housing, because all time and labor must be given to cotton. On the opening of Spring he must buy provender for his working animals. Those things which a countryman in Eu rope or the Eastern States of our land would consider necessaries of life and health are neglected?certainly not frcm ignorance, for you seldom see a grovvn man or woman that cannot read and write. "Note the following facts and ponder over them : "The Planter has not raised the corn or wheat to provide bis own house with bread. "He has not raised the horses or mules required to keep up his own farm. ' He has not raised the cows and hogs to snpply milk, butter and meat for bis own table use. "He has not raised tobacco, potatoes, peanuts, or sngar cane or sorghum to make sugar and syrup for homo con sumption. "He has not raised even a few chickenn and turkeys to have eggs, and on some special occasion a good fowl for dinner, ' "He has not raised any of the many vegetables?cabbage, turnips, lettuce, to matoes, cucumbers, squash, etc., so nu tritious and easily cultivated in this cli mate and soil. "He has not raised any melons, but knows the luxury of one on a hot day, taken from a well"or spring, upon coming from hard work in cultivating the one and all important cotton crop. "He has not raised any apples, pears, peaches, plums, apricots, figs or grapes? any of these he could raise, if he would. "But, the head of the farm by prefer ence takes his team, drives to town and buys from his merchant all the various necessaries?alEO batter, cheese, lard, cof fee, tobacco, eggs, peanuts, sugar, cab bage, turnips, melons, candy, a jug of syrup, a sack of corn and a bale of hay. Anything his merchant has not in stocK, he must do without, or tho merchant must send out and get it for him. Still, he seems blind to his own welfaro and continues to plant cotton, let the price be what it may. "America produces about three-fourths of all tha cotton grown in tho world aud no other country can take precedence. The very low prices existing now for cot ton are not of special benefit to any one. On account of over-production the plant er must sell his product at a price below its cost to produce. The merchant must take it in payment of the planter's ac count and do his utmost to clear himself an a close margin, if at all. The buyer must seek the world by cables and tele graphs, meeting competition tor auy out I lot lor it, often simply swapping dollars to make sales and relieving himself and bankers of the load. 'Themanufacturer, learning from ex perience, buys close and is willing some one else should carry the cotton, since it saves interest and risk, and because the contracts he can make for his goods ar>3 scaled to the closest uoint, and his capi tal is necessarily employed in the manu facture of goods he must carry, because ot the over-production. Hence, tho enor mous crop, besides entailing heavy losses to the farmers, is a disadvantage, and the entire responsibility lies with the farmer. The balance of the power is bis. To sue cess or ruin all must follow him. i "With such experience and actual facts the planter should bo willing to call a halt, use some judgment, diversify his planting, and next Fall the result will already begin to show such :> wave of prosperity i'->r this land tit the South, thai every man reducing Iiis acreage in cotton 25 per cent., or more, would feel that ho hail been instrumental, in part, in bring ing it about; that it was tho turning point of biiccess in his farming life and bo bad lived to learn and be cooviuced that something was better than all cotton." In our issue of January L'lith the letter of Latham, Alexander & Co. will be found with the statistical facts showing the harmful results of over-production. -mm mm . ?

Following the positive announce ment made yesterday of the candida cy of Col. 11. B. Watson, of Saluda, for Governor, which, by the way, cre ated quite a flutter in political circles, came the announcement that ex-Solici tor Schumpert had determined to make the race. This makes the fourth man to enter the race in the coming State campaign. Governor Ellerbe and Mr. Archer have announced their platforms. Nothing of this kind has yet come from Col. Watson or Mr. Schumpert. At this stage it looks very much as if the race is going to be a lively one if all the candidates stay to a finish. The positive announcement was al so made yesterday of the candidacy of Mayor H. H. Evans, of Newberry, for the office of Attorney-General. His friends claim that he will make it lively for any others who enter the race. And still another announcement has been made. Col. Thos. G. White, of Beaufort, is out for Superintendent of Education. Here is what his home papers say of his candidacy: "Urged by his many friends-, Col. Thomas (i. White has consented to present himself as a candidate for the office of State Superintendent of Edu cation. Col. White has served many years as school trustee and member of the County board of examiners, and his articles and information upon edu cational questions have attracted widespread attention. Col. White's friends say that the low County has heretofore been shared out in the dis tribution of State offices and that it is time for a low County candidate to be elected. Col. White will depend up on his popularity in this and adjoin ing Counties, and his many friends in Laurcns, his old home, and in the other Counties in the neighborhood of Laurens to carry him to victory."' It seems that there is no longer any doubt but that George D. Tillmanwill be in the race for Governor. It was positively stated on the street yester day, by one who is in position to know, that Col. George 1). Tillman has finally consented to re-enter poli tics. The following was also given out in rcgard.to Col. Tillman's plans: He will not make the race on an anti-dispensary platform, however, as has heretofore been reported. His position on the whiskey question will be to allow each County to select for itself prohibition, high license, or the dispensary, as each sees fit, this, in his judgment, being true local self government and one of the funda mental principles of Democracy. He will also advocate a change in the present system of County govern ment and make a determined fight for the betterment of the public school system. He will run as a candidate of no faction, but with the hope that he may be able to reunite the Democ racy in South Carolina. He will not only promise low taxes,but will reduce them. The people aregroaning under this burden. For a long time Col. Tillman has hesitated to allow the use of his name, but it is said that the petitious and letters from all parts of the State which have been sent asking him to make the race have definitely and fi nally caused him to do so. Some people question on account of his age. his ability to make the can vass, but all such misgivings, his friends claim, are without foundation, and the next campaign will be made hot by his canvass. Ile enjqys the best of health, and is as vigorous to day as ever. There is no longer any doubt whatever but that he is in the race to the finish. ? The. Stale. ? tm tm New Process for Baling Cotton. Through the inventive genius of one George A. Lowry, a machine has been invented that seems destined to rcvo lutionize tin: cotton business. The machine is a simple piece of mechan ism that, puts cotton in round bales and while iL is yet new and untried except, by the experiment made by the company, it is looked on favorably by the. cotton men who have seen it. General Stephen M. Wells, president of the Planters' Compress Company, of Boston, was in the city yesterday with a bale of the cotton baled by the machine ami photographs of the ma chine. The machine, as pictured here, is attached to the gin and as the cotton is ginned it can be put right into the machine and baled before leaving the ginhouse. The cost of the machine is something under ?500 and it may be run by the same power that runs the gin. The bales made by this process arc round, and in size they are eigh teen inches in diameter and forty-two j inches high, each bale weighing 251) pounds. The cotton is packed in spiral layers, while its density \< I forty-four pounds !" the cubic foot, as . against a density of twenty-two pounds ! I I ! he cubic foot in tin: bale- put up : by the ordinary compress, it i- not; packed too tightly to be used a-- soon : a ? t lie b ile i.s opened. In I he other round bales the trouble \ has been that, the bales have been pu* around a .-olid rod and while the cot ton was loose on the outside of the! In!'-. i?n the inside it. is packed so tight that i>. is perfectly hard This j machine leave- a hole through the j center of the bale through which the : wires that hold the bale together are run. The cotton goes in the top <d' the machine very much like the meat is put in a sausage machine and comes out the lower end in a roll ready to b'e baled. When the machine is per fected it will take about live minutes to make a bale. A knife that works automatically cuts the roll of cotton off just the length of the bale and in five minutes more anether bale is read}'. The greatest advantage of the new kind of bale is the facility that it will give the farmer in handling his crop. The bales are smaller, and be ing round in form arc easier to han dle. Another great advantage is in the shipping. The owners of the process claim that twice as much cot ton may be put in a car when baled by their process than when it is the ordi nary bales. The bales arc encased in cotton duck and held together by four wires, all of which weighs not over two pounds. The cost of covering a bale is 22 cents. All together, it is claimed that the saving on every bale of cotton to all parties will be between $3 and $4 per bale. A company with a capital of $5,000, 000 has been organized to manufac ture the machine and introduce it in the country. It is proposed to organ ize branch companies in each State with local capital. The owners of the machine say that they will have it ready in time to handle all of the next crop and that it will revolutionize the cotton business. This new process of baling cotton is known as the Lowry process, from the name of the inventor. Mi. George A. Lowry. who invented the machine, is the man who, some years ago, invent ed a machine for taking the bristles oft' hogs. lie sold the invention to the Armours for ?100,000.? Atlanta ' Journal. Analysis of Cotton Receipts. Nkw Om.fans, Feb. 7.?Secretary Hester's analysis of the cotton receipts for the five months of the season from September 1 to January 31. inclusive, shows that, compared with the corres ponding movement of 1S95, Texas, in cluding Indian Territory, has brought : into sight this scasou in round ligures 258.S23 bales less, while other Gulf States, which include Arkansas. Lou isiana. Mississippi, Tennessee. Mis- j souri and Oklahoma, have marketed : 519,626 more, and the group of Atlan- : tic States, which includes North and South Carolina. Georgia. Florida, Alabama and Virginia, show an in crease of 362.154. In other words, all of the States outside of Texas and Indian Territory have increased over ! the big crop year SS4.780, against a i decrease for Texas and the Indian | Territory of 25S.S23, leaving a net in crease in the total of crop marketed G22,957. Mr. Hester shows the am:unt j brought into sight by groups of States for. the five months of this season as follows: Texas and Indian Territory 2,521,594 bales, an increase ov-pr same time last year of 048.9S0, an increase over year before last of 1)26,541, and a decrease under 1895 of 258,823. Other Gulf States 2,809,972, an increase i over last year of 500,719, over year j before last of 1,054,718, and over 1S95 i of 519,626. Atlantic States 3,305, an I increase over last year of 361.267, over year before last of 1,085,119, and over 1895 of 362,154. Total crop in sight at close of Jauuary.

After January 31 ih 1895 the amount brought into sight from Texas and ludian Territory was 495,541; from other Gulf States 70!?,937. and from Atlantic States 681,303. The groups of States as above fur nished of the total cotton crops fro.n Texas and Territory last year 2,24^.000 bales, and in 1S95 3,276,000 bales; other Gulf States 2,831.000 last year, and 3,000,000 in 1S95; Atlantic States 3,679.000 last year, and 3,625,000 in 1895.' -?=> o ? ?
