The convention of Southern (,'otton
11 rower* held In .laeVson Miss. U>d
week was g^tandetl Hby near I r - ahW
hundred-delegate*. This State was im-
represented. The work of the conven
tion is summarized as follows :
The gravity of the condition* con
fronting the cotton growers is recog
nised. To what extent this may be.
traced to tlnanciitj legislation is ns less
to discus*. The ovorproduCttofT of cot
ton is recognized its one of the chief
evil*. This must bo corrected or uni-
vertal bankruptcy will follow, helf in
terest must Impel the grower to change.
Kvery farmer is appealed to not to plant
*o much sottou; a dec ease of not less
than 23 percent, is recommended; 30
per cent would bo bettor.
The farmer should bo made self sus
talning by planting peas, corn, pota
toes, oati, Ite., and raising plenty
mutt. The tide of Immigration turned
this way will ebangt methods. Karm
en are urged to fofm county organiza
tion* all ov*r the South to carry out
these resolutions. Cold storage houses
uro recommended wherever practicable
*J'he committee promises hotter times
and higher prices for cotton if it* re
commendations are observed. All pa
jiers in the South are requested to keep
thecoinmiuee’* report standing.
The ootniaituc on organization and
by laws submitted a long report, of
which the following is a synopsis:
No one shall be a member who Is not a
legitimate grower. The association i*
formed for one year and the executive
committee is given power to continue
It longer, If good results. The agree
ment to lie sent to all countiealu eoi^
ton growing States for signatures Is not
to be binding till signed by three-
fourths of the cotton acreage In 8l> per
cent, of the cotton growing countifs,
mid fact to be determined by the na
tional committee.
Kach member binds hlnuelf to pay 2
cents for each acre of cotton planted In
1804, half to be retained in the counties,
the balance to be paid into the treasury
of the national committee for general
purposes.
The county organizations are to be
formed outlie first Monday of March L
1805.
The national erccutTvc committee
shall be composed of the national pres-
• ident. w hois ex-otllvio chainpan, and
each state i* entitled to one member for

Jt was astounding to Ins young and
untried spirit that so many people
could be sO entirely lost to a sense of
tlie pleasures to be gotten out Of this
world, such as moonlight rides und
walks, picnics, private theatricals md
hops, lie suggested rides. The two
bactU'tors' were vavatrymeu, -arrrt-Knri-
they rotlo for a living and not fhr fun,
two of the girls could ride, hut or.o
lin^n't a habit, the other two were
afraid to try it. ifarton got up some
ridiug parties of two—himself and tlie
one girl; but she was the least charm
ing of tlie quartette, so ho found them
dull He ventured upon suggesting
some wall:*, but tlie idea w-tis scouted.
Waite in that alkali dust, witii coyote
howls the only sounds In tlie airi They
mocked at his youthful ardor. The
board walk around the parade ground
was good enough for them, if they
wanted to stroll; but as that was per
fectly within the range of vision of
some two hundred and fifty enlisted
men, it was not agreeable to saunter
along with a nice girl under tlieix
eyes. Barton gave that up and tried
picnics. All tlie world knows that a
picnic is trying to the sweetest tem
per, to tire most complacent souls.
The outcome of this particular onewas
that it put; one more family on tlie
•’official terms" list. No'Vnc could be
worked up to the private theatricals
point, for in army, ns in civil, life
every one wanted to have tho star
foie. 1 . V
Anyone else would have been dis
heartened at these repealed failures
and have Ecttlcd down into tire ordi
nary round of duties of the ordinary
lieutenant. But Barton bad the mak-
ings of a general in him, coupled with
a desire to ben leader of tnetr; he- * U ’ IU ,
could not reconcile himself to getting
up at reveille; going to bed again and
bleeping until breakiMt-vt tire mess
at nine o’clock; twirling his mustache
and incidentally his thumbs in the
Kacr (.rowHi*.
Mr. Henry-Garrett, a census expert,
say* of the white and black races in the
U nited .State*:
From 1790 to isyo the white popula
tion increased from about JvOOU.OOO to
55.000,000. In the *aine time the idack*
Increased from 750,000 to 7,300,010.
The c figures show that the number of
tire whiten was eighteen times a* great
at (he end of tlie 100 year* beginning
with 1790 and t to number of black* was
only ton times a* great. To put tire
statement in another shape, tire black*
in 1090 constituted twenty per cent. 4 oj
the population and ill 1890 they consti
tuted only twelvupcr cent, of it.
And tire greater increase of the w hite
population has not been wholly due to
immigration, by can sc, between 1790 and
1840, when there w.-yi very little immi
gration and wl)cu the health of tlie
blacks W its much better eared foi tKan
they ahenisehe.* fire for it now, the in
crease Iti tlie white population was rel
atively co siderably greater than tliaJ.
ot the black*.
The census figures fbow that the
blacks are gradually moving from tire
border States of the South to the South
A tlantic and-Gulf States,—part idlin'ly
Loufklaua, Mhudssippi and A rkanwwfq-
though in all' Southern States, e?*,:ept-
Aikansas, the relative increase of the
whites i* greater than that by the
blacks This condition of afl'air* would
indicate qoiu>.,sc!enrly that there is no
reason to apprehend a lace eOnfliei in
any one otVuhe Southern Stales at any"
future tiihe. _
It Is Well kpoVvii of course that the
tcmlciicv of tire blacks as well as tire
w lirtesis toward the cities and towns.
In TmOonly 4.2 per cent of the black*
lived in cities liaving 8,WK> ihliabitanls
or more. In IS79 8.3 per cent, of them
iCerc residents i.f cities and towns and
in 1890 twelve per cent, of them
11 is well understood that the number
of'eriimnnbi. In proportion to popula
tion is far greater among the blacks
Ilian among the white*, but the number
of paupers i- no greater. Tire reason
the number of paupers Is no greater i*
that in the South, particularly in the
towns and elites til? poorer clasv of
blacks luve means of living not pos
sessed by | lover tv stricken wliltes.
The cei sus figurVh show that while
the blacks have not n.nde tlie improve
ment mentally, morally or materially
they wen. expected to inart^p fltice
emancipation they nrr wwivSrefteriLg
tlrerr condition; ’ -
sutler’s store all tlie morning; sleep-
Ing from luncheon to retreat; dining
and rc-twirlipg hia rnu .tache and
triumbs until taps. Of course he could
have put in his time at reading and
thinking, being intellectual, but a man
in his position should not be iutellec-
timl.
No, Barton would make a last and
supreme effort to awake these leth
argic people from their stupqr. He
would get up a hop. Visions of old
West Boint dances arose before him
und filled liis soul with dungings. He
made it next the order of the day to
find a room big'enough to hold an or
dinary set of lancers. There was no
ballroom, nor was there the usual
available library-room which r,o often
does service. Of course none of the
quarters would answer the purpose;
he bethought him of one of the hos
pital wards, and got the doctor's per
mission to use it. It was not big—not
more than twenty by thirty feet—but
it could be made to do; the Hours were
rough, but sperm candles would make
them slippery; the Wu.lls were bare and
the plaster cracked; be would draw on
private houses and tlie sutler's store
to decorate tlfem. : Nothing should
flaunt him. -i. —•*
So he sent his own striker to sweep,
and dust, and scrub; he gave the post
children a jubilee by letting them
fchave candles on the boards and slide^
about to smooth them down. It was
lots of fun for the children, and Bar
ton took pleasure in watching their
pretty gambols until the C. O.'ayoun^-
est son slipped and broke his wrist
When that happened, even this inex-
perienced youth knew* that it was
littlfr short of a calamity for him; thqt
it would bo many a long .day before
the commandant's wife—therefore tire
commandant Tiimsolf'— woul 1 smile
upon him again. He carried tlie child
lidme.-and submitted in sileqee to the
stony glare from its mother's eyes.
When he tried to explain, she walked
away, ft was evident that he was
head as guilty of the sweet little fel
low’s mishap, und he loved the child
accordingly.
W hen the hall ‘Vas aT draped in
flags, bunting, Chinese lanterns ami
parasols, Barton began to believe that
fate was at last propitious; it looked
very pretty, and tha nicest girl told
him so, with a shy glauce which mad*
th\> lieutenant W*1 as he bad .uo^ felt
since old iVest I’oint days. The hop
was to be on Saturday night. Tho
band contributed fifteen pieces to
make music for the flying feet The
nicest girl .blushed and consented to
let Barton take her ami have the major
part of the waltzes on tlie cards which
tie hitnself bad gotten up.
It 'was during tLis midday glare bL
success that n cloud, small but
black, drifted across the sun. One of
Wycr _ Barton was not
to what kind, but Hie doctor
that ii was of a sort whichoioUe would
make worse, that the man was in the
hospital, in the ward just below the
one all decked for {Tie bdp, aniTthlS,
therefore, the hop would hi}ve to lie
po.'ttp« >, red.
Now Barton was not naturally un
kind, but Ire was not tire first ambitious
man in tho world’s history who had
sacrificed others to bis ambition. This
dance had to lie a success after so
many failures, H ten n>cii bad the
fever. Barton pleaded, reasoned,
coaxed. Tlu^V doctor was obdurtito.
^lut the doctor had a weakness; it was
toddies mid that sort of thing. A deep
scheme entered the lieutenant's head;
he would decoy the doctor to tire sut
ler's, he would get him "full”—hs ho
gracefully expressed it—and when tho
old fellow should bo sweet-tempered,
Bartfln would make him consen
having tire hop that night.
H worked just as the West
Pointer half foreseen. Tlie doctor,
after having given nn oft-feiterated
frirmn
tor told him , .. .

into the wee, sum hours, for, though
there were only six men, the fourgirls
and a chaperon, the thing was lots of
fun. The fact that there were more
musicians than dancers was no draw
back. The nicest girl was radiant
and gave Barton great hopes. Yes, at
last, here was a success. And tlie fever
patient was only a little worse for the
noise. Barton was rather remorseful
when lie heard that tire man had be
come delirious, lie sent champagne
op for-him T that being hia idea of an
amende honorable. Having carried
this lioprtlirough, Barton was too Wise
to risk another; Izg^jftstcd on his

One day Barton was enlied by the
commandnat’s orderly from the peace
ful perusal of a note from the nicest
girl, with tho request to go to the ad
jutant's office, nk tlie C. 07 wished to
see him. Barton stuck the little note
in his .pocket—the one nearest his
heart—and sallied forth without
thought of harm. He even felt so se
cure that lie planned how he sli&uld
say a certain thing to the ni«e*t girl,
lie had just hit upon a splendid speech
when lie reached the office, and was
beamingly happy.
Fifteen minutes later he came out
from tho C. O.’s presence a sadder but
a wiser man. lie had been reprimand
ed—severely reprimanded; had had it
pointed out to him that he was a
heartless brute; that he had sacrificed
a sick man to liis own whims. The
colonel grew quite touching as he
painted the poor private's miseries.
Barton reflected that be wished the
-commandant'» child liadii't broken its
arm.
lie felt that it was the .broken
not the soldier's fever, which
rankled in the colonel's breast
Subdued and angered, Barton
walked back to liis quarters. He would
re-read the note tof realm his ruffled
spirits, and would then go over to nsk
Ttn: nicest girl the questmu-be—hadJ
planned. It took him half an hour to
work up the necessary courage, and
tlien he sallied forth.
The nicest girl sat upon the vinc-
covefed porch, a novel in her hands,
but her blue eyes filled with tears and
looking at •space. {Somehow,' Barton’s
spirits ' fell. They 'went still lower
when her only greeting was a look of
reproach. He hail made up his mind,
however, and, with consummate want
of tact, asked the carefully planned
question.
Then the blue eyes of the nicest
girl let fall their tears. She re
proached him sobbingly.' How could
lie, a man who had almost committed a
murder, dare to nsk her .‘.itch—such a
thing? YYhy had he never told her of
that poor man with tire fearful fever?
She never would have danced, know
ing of it. Oh, be was heartless, cruel!
She could never marry a maq so bad,
so unkind as that Never! never!
never!
In vain did Barton explain and
plead, she would not listen and she
knew he was U wicked man; slip won
dered why she had not found it out be
fore; she had—oh! she had liked him a
little bit,, and now to find .out. Oh!
dear! She put her handkerchief before
her eyes and ran into the bouse, drop
ping her book. —- .
The lieutenant picked it up and
looked absently at the title: "The End
6t a llomanee.” He wondered if this
were the end, he wondered, if it had
been a romance at nil, or only a com
edy. Then lie iaid the novel on the
chair and walked down the steps, still
wondering—wondering if that hop had
been a InVwling success!—Gwendolen
