A dispatch from Now Orleans to the New York Sun says that the high prioe that ootton is now commanding is having the e ff cot of causing it to be planted in Central Amorioa and the West Indies, where little cotton has been raised for centuries. This is es pecially tho case with those oountries connected direotly with Now Orleans in business and whioh have been kept interested in the subject by the recen,. New Orleans cornor. Thus British Honduras has gone mad on ootton. It does all its business through New Or leans, all mails to England being sent through this city, and oven tho Gov ernor of the colony reaching there on ly by this route unless he goes on a British man-of-war. The cane orop has boen almost en tirely abandoned in Belize for ootton and the only question is now to get tho necessary seed for planting. A considerable quantity of seed has been contributed to the Belize planners by the Manchester spinners, who are anx ious to enooursge ootton cultivation in the British Empire, but not enough to fill tho domando of the Belize farm ers, who see future fortunes in cot ton. The same excitement is reported in Cuba, especially among the Ameri cans oettled there. A number moved to Cuba from New OrleanB after the restoration of peaoe in the island and went into tho sugar business, believ ing that a combination of the improv ed methods and maohinery in use in the sugar industry in this oOuntry, with thc better yield of Cuba, in con sequence of a longer season, would pro duce splendid financial results. Those who went to p\ant oane have recently ohanged their orop to ootton, seeing a sure and better market for it-one that is not overworked-and a larger profit in the venture. The Cuban experiment with ootton this year has been most encouraging. The yield has been 500 pounds up to a bale and a half an aore, the ootto n being the long staple or sea island va riety. It can be grown all the year round and picked at any time, when ever ripe. The plant grows muoh lar ger than in America, becomes a tree eight or nine inohes in diameter and as high as a man on horsebaok. I Cotton cultivation was introduced by Americans, and generally by South erners, who knew how to oultivate the crop, but the Cubans have taken it up this season. The first to do so wss Arneilo Terry, one of the richest planters in the island, and who was for a time secretary of agriculture in President Palma* s Cabinet, but re signed. Terry, who has lived in the United States, planted 200 sores of ootton, and met with suoh suooess that the Cubans have taken it up. A plantation of 1,000 aores in cot ton, planted by Americano, jost out side of Havana, has proved an objeot lesson to the Cubans, and is rapidly convincing them that they have made a mistake in changing to sugsr as al most their only orop for so many years. So far the Cubans have cultivated al most exclusively the sea island cotton, but they propose to try the stout sta ple variety for next season snd will increase their aoreage in cotton several fold. _ Could Not Lire Unloved. Chester, November 28.-News reached here yesterday of the shock ing suioide of Mr. Charles Abernethy, whioh occurred Wednesday night, near Fort Lawn, about twenty milos below Chester. Mr. Abernethy, in company with a number of friends, returning from a sooisl party at Mr. J. M. Hough's, said to the lady with whom he was riding thst he intended shooting him self, whereupon he drew a revolver from his pooket. placed it to his tem ple and fired. Before others in the party could reaoh him he fell from the buggy do.d. He was about 20 years old and was well thought of by those who knew him. Disappointment in a love affair is believed to have prompt ed the deed. DO NOT DOSE THE STOMACH. Core Catarrh by Nature's Own Method -Every Breath of Hyomei Brings Re lief.
