K.*cp the Cotton Acreage Down.
Mr. Alfred B. Shepptsoii, one
of the most c*:trefill itutl turnip
tent slulistieinns in the country,
lms wriit.Mi a very interest in?_c I
review of " L'lie v'ultoii Situation
From a S ?lely Disinterested
Standpoint," for the Inst nntnbet
of the Baltimore Mannf.ict urers"
Record lie believes tlmt the re- i
limrkiihle advance in cotton due to
speculation in cotton futures, and
t.'wit tnere is no truth in the contention
that this year's crop will
be about one million hales less
than the last crop, and inadequate
for the actual it inurements of tun
spinners, lfe believes that the
present cnnum-rciul nop will equal
10,700,000 hull's, averaging 484
pounds not, or about tin* size of
the lust crop. I le believes further
that upon tlu' acreage of last season
it would have been possible
for a crop of twelve million bales
to have boon made, lu Ids opiu
ion. there is no deterioration of
seed or of soil in a general way
and lie utters the warning that alluring
as tin' present price of cotton
must be tin; Southern farmers,
it may prove as treaeheious as the
sands of the seashore. The incentive
is very great to plant in the
spring an iiumeuuo acreage in cotton
at the expense of food anil forage
crops. The result might
prove unfortunate should cotton
decline sharply under the prospects
of a full crop, and the farmer
be compelled to pay high
pi i -es for grain and provisions.
The warning given by Mr.
Sltopp mvo i ought to hu heeded by
the co ton planters, of the South.
Only a few days ago one of the I
leading newspapers of the South.!
carried nwiiy t>y the idea that 12 or
.1 1 cents has oolite to stay, ur>?eil
the fanners to increase the acreage j
this year, h is hoped that the:
planters will not follow such wild
counsel.
Mr. Shepperson, ns Secretarv of
the Committee of the United
States Senate, appointed to exam I
ino into the matter of cotton pro- j
duet sou ami manufacture in this,
country and abroad, reached the j
conclusion that the average cost
of cotton production in the South
was about 5 1-2 cents per pound.!
Surely the planters have not for
gotten their very recent experience i
in producing the staple at less than
nctiml cost. It tho acreage Khali
lio increased lliis year mid mi enoridiiiih
crop should he produced, all
Ihe ingenuity of the bulls will not
be able to sustain the market at
the present largely speeulative Ultures.
Tho rjoht tiling and the safe'
tiling for cotton planters to do is
to raise their own boa 1 and meat
first, and then to yrow as much
cotton as they can as a money
crop?News and (hairier.

Henry Grarly on Cotton.
Since cotton has donned its bij/
hi eeelies the eloquent tribute of
Henry Grady to the fleecy staph- I
is quite upprop >s, as follows:
"What a royal plant it is. The
world waits in attendance on its
growth; the shower that tails!
around the earth; the sun thai
shines on it is tempered by the :
prayers of all the people; Ihe frost j
that chills it and 'tie dew that descends
from the stars are noted,
and the ti'tMOfiKK i if ii little worm
ou itn ^reen leaf :h more to Kng1
fiii(I than the advance of the Huh- '
sian army on her Asiatic outposts. :
ft id gold from the instant it puts !
forth itn tiny shoot. Its fibre is
current in every hank, and when,
loosing its fleece to the sun, it ,
floats a dunny banner that glorifies
the fields of the humble farmer, 1
that man is marshaled under a tla^
that will compel the allegiance of
the the world, and wriim a subsidy
from every nation on earth. It is
the heritage that (rod gave to this
people forever As their own when
He arched our skies, established
our mountains, jjirt us about with
the ocean, loosed the breezes, tempered
the sushine and measured
the rain. Ours and our children's
forever. As princely a talent as
ever came from Jiis hand to
mortal stewardship.?

There is some little difference I
between Supervisor Boyd and the I
Catawba Cower Company because <
of the bridge over Allison meek. 1
It was foreseen some time bark ?
that the approaches to the bridge |
wouhl be flooded and Mr. Boyd i
proposed that the county would do >
its full share if the company would
agree to help move the road fur-j
ther back from the river. The road
at the creek crossing is now within
about a half a mile of the river
bank. It seems that the company,
however, was not disposed to agree
to Mr. Boyd's proposition. When
the dam was closed recently the
water back up to a depth sutlicient
to swim a horse on both sides of
the bridge. That was the principal
reason why the water was let
out again so quickly. Since then
the power company has been engaged
in the construction of a new
bridge, which requires several
hundred feet of trestling. The
work is quite expensive and it is
being done well, but Mr. Boyd is
not exactly satisfied with tins ar !
rangement. "It's all t ight for now." !
