In my opinion this is a mistake. Oats Nhortbj[, If possible, lie planted the Iasi of ttepiember or the first part of OctolH-r, and If put ’ln at that time wltb'a turn plow 011 fair land they w ill not be killed more than one y ear In flv>’, and the total of the four crops llutt eg’-i cape the cold will Ire much greater than the total of, five'spring planted snips.' If the crop cannot he put in at the right time, then put it in as soon na you can, whether It lie In Novemlier or December, for as moat .of our cold comes In January or February, the oats -owed in Novemlier or December will he older and bet ter rooted and there fore harder to kill than outs sow 11 in January, v 'XfioTTier poTnt lif favor of fuTT sowing Is this: NhimId tha HrstcTop be klllco, a second sowb g on the same land (by reason of the bind being plowed and then thoroughly pulverized by the cold) would probably result in a crop suHiclenlly good to pay for the co»t of both sowings. Another plan followed by sonic good farmers is to put in during y^c tall lia'f of the land they livtend to Jowr, re- servlng the oilier half lor spring plant ing. There arc some advantages in this plan, but, on thii whole, I believe it is Im'si to sow oats in this State About the llrst of October or as soon thereafter as practicable. l —_ $100 Reward $100. i- « The readers of thl« paper wl'l he pleased to learn that there js at U's«t one dresdad disea«e that, science ha- In-en ahle to cure in nil its s ages, and that hllTatarrh.

The situation seems now to be liar rowed down to a battle between the cot ton planter on one aide and the foreign sp.nner on the other, bucked up by die speculators and gold power* uf the North. It seem* that either gold or cotton must be exported to avoid the issue of bonds, and as another bond Issue might imperil the chances of tbr Democratic party, the cotton planter must be sacrificed and the prism of cot ton beat down until he Is compelled to sell.
