Harvi Jordan, of Georgia, president of tl; Southern Cotton Growers' Protective a: sociatiou, and prominent fanners in th State, I issue this call for the fanners c our State to meet at their respective coui houses on 'the first Monday in April t consider the advisability of reducing th acreage for the present year, also to dis cuss ways and means for protecting th price of our staple from present manipula tions. If the cotton acreage of the sout be increased, the price of cotton will g down to 0 cents next fall, which will r< suit in the greatest financial calamity tlia has befallen the southern farmer in year Now is the time for action, because th price of the staple next season will b fixed according to the acreage plante this spring. Let every cotton farmer in this State at tend these county meetings on the firs .Monday in April, and determine to pre | tect their property from utter annihila Jtion. * * J. C. Wilborx, Pres. S. C. Cot. Growers' Pro. Ass'u. This call is directed to every planter i; the county, and every planter should b directly interested in the object of th meeting just in proportion to the par that his cotton crop plays in his schem for success or family support. The rang in prices for cotton the past two year has clearly and impressively demon stratcd the effect of supply, and if the ke; to remunerative prices is.the supply, thei the problem of the grower is the contro of that supply. We do not attempt t< put forth any plans lor sucu action 01 the part of the farmers, but we do asser that anything effective must grow out o concert, after mature deliberation. I seems to us that now is the opportune time to begin, through deliberation plans of concert that must lead to tin control, in part at least, by the farmer the price of his own toil. To advanci this very object, which can be pursued ir a most praisworthy manner, the farmers of this county should meet in the couri house at Bamberg, as requested by Prcsi dent Wilborn in the notice above, when we are assured addresses will be made bj such prominent citizens as Senator May lield and Representatives Crum and Bos tick, and others who desire to take pari in the discussions.

Denmark I>oings, Denmark, March 26.?The various lines of wires, the property of the lone distance Telephone Company, were placed on the tax books of this count} last year at the assessed value of nine hundred dollars. This company owns about thirty miles of wire in this county Your correspondent has been informed that the actual cost of construction was five liuudred dollars per mile, making the real value of the property fifteen thousand dollars. Farmers generally return thpir property qt two-thirds of its value. At a similar rate the assessed value of this telephone property should have been ten thousand dollars. Some official has Idnn^efff] arid 'be jr.?e]-tior ts nothing short of down right carelessness, or possibly ignorance. The Comptroller General is probably responsible tc the State for these ridiculously low returns. Such an error should not be repeated this year,. This is only a ''Yankee trick." The president of this corporation lias probably giggled over this shrewd act more than once as he scanned his note l>ooks, "Property in ?autfi Carolina worth sixty thousand dollars returned at six thousand, Ha, ha, lia, I13!"

Some philanthropic leader of this future progressive town has intimated to a humble citizen of this village that a pole sixty feet in height will be erected in a suitable place that little Denmark may for once at least in her histof} look upon an electric arc.

Ever if the statement should be reversed, the wishes of the said philanthropist shoulc be regarded with conditional "seqoi}sue$j while the expectation of the humble one< awaits the vision. Bamberg never prom ises what she cannot forthwith and iw mediately do. Therefore, in due seasor the villages will assemble in Railroac avenue to hail with delight the "rise o: the lone star of the valley" or "a blink) jack-o-lantern."

The cotton growers should organize if they expect ever to in anyway control the price of their chief product. By reference to the notice in another tiolumn it will be seen thai the Rivers* Bridge Memorial Association will observe Friday, April 2Gth, as memorial day. Addresses will be delivered by I)r. A. P. Montague, president of Fupnan University, and Dr. J. A. B. Scherer, a prominent Lutheran minister of Charleston. Both pf these gentlemen have a high reputation as public speakers, and there will no doubt be a large crowd present as usual. We are sure the addresses be will fine, and the occasion will be on of the most successful in the history of the association. Arrangements have beeu made for the appearance here of Alba Heywood, the prince of comedians, and his excellent company on next Saturday evening, the 80th. Mr. Heywood lias, during the past ten years, appeared in all the "principal towns and cities in the United States, and established a reputation of which he is justly proud. He has returned many times 10 me same places, always meeting with unqualified success. From the opening to the close of liis season he is greeted everywhere with large and delighted audiences. The reasons for his great success artistically and financially are obvious. His comedy is always bright and delightfully refreshing, and while convulses his audiences with laughter, there is never the faintest suggestion of coarseness or vulgarity. His success in securing the very best artists to support him, his" desire to equal or exceed the promises made in his advertising, and steadfast determination to "always keep the confidence of the people." These principals carefully followed out have made his name a household word and a positive guarantee of a first-glass performance. Cases for Court.

First, I Want to compare ^ 1 notes between the farmers of Bamberg , _ . T co ' county mm Lexington county. I am ^ well ^qumnted with every part of Bam- ^ berg county and I know it to be a good farming county, and with all the advan- ^ ? tages of a level and fertile county, most ^ " of the farmers are a year behind. Why i " r J m . is it so? The question is of much impor- gQ tance and one that should arouse every J m J farmer and if they will listen I will at1 tempt to tell themj there are two cafises. I First, they buy two much on credit, make t too many mistakes in their calculations, and always, or nearly, fall short when ' ; the time comes ;o settle up and are left in such a condition that they are unable \ to begin the next crop until they get credit. ar 1 Second, too many hands arc hired and Qt | too often depended on to do the farm ; work. This I know personally. Let mo , - i. it. 1 5 1611 yOU a UUJ6 UD(uu uje s>i',uu 4Jiijs ui Lexington pounty, said to be the porest ar county in South Carolina.
