There were two carloads of mules

The fireman and brakeman of one of

The cause of the wreck is under

Macon, Ga., March 1—The report of
the appraisers for the Plant estate was
field with Referee Proudfit. Ite esti
mate of the total value of the Plant
estate is given as $846,901.57.
A few figures are given in this re
port which will surprise those wdio
have over-estimated the value of the
Plant estate. It shows that certain
land owned by the dead banker in
Nashville, Term., thought to have been
worth over $100,000, Is only worth
$7,500 in the estimation of the apprais
ers. The Idle Hour farm is set down
in the report at a value of $30,000,
the flowers in the nursery being val
ued at several thousand dollars.
The work of the recent Cotton Grow
ers’ Convention at New Orleans de
serves, in its main features, the hearty
approval and endorsement of the farm
ers all over the South. The action of
the committee since the adjournment
in formulating a constitution and by
laws as a basis and bond of union for
the continued existence of the organi
zation is also worthy of all praise for
its comprehensiveness and adaptation
to the objects sought to be promoted.
It is an able document and should be
ihe means of consolidating and unify

and manufacturers In the future.
Whether its effective influence shall
outlive the present emergency and pro

KANSAS HITS AT OIL TRUST.
No business can possibly be
successful that is not adver
tised.
This is a sweeping statement,
but it is true. There are aome
merchants in this community
whose experience apparently
contradicts the statement.
The contradiction, however,
is only apparent. If they have
attained any degree of success
they have advertised. They have
let people know what they had to
sell, what they were here for and
what they proposed to do. Just
in proportion to the thorough
ness with which they have done
this and met the conditions of
their competitors they have suc
ceeded.
If they have used the newspa
pers they have worked with the
best tools so far as getting pub
licity is concerned. If they have
worked without the newspapers
they have been handicapped and
have not attained the highest
possible measure of success.
A fertile seed planted in fertile
grouna, carefully watered, will thrive
and bear fruit.
A properly organized business,
in any inhabited place, well advertised
will succeed. The law of
growth is as certain and iaeiotable in
one case aa the other.

Legislature Passes Anti-Discrimina
tion Bill by Big Majority.
Topeka. Kan., March 1.—The house
today by a vote of 82 to 18, passed
the anti-discrimination biR aimed prin
cipally at the Standard Oil company,
and the last of the anti-trust measures
to come up in this session.
It now goes to Governor Hoch.
This hill will reinforce the half doz
en other ami-trust measures passed
by the present legislature.
A ‘heated debate preceded the pass
age of the measure today during
which Representative Beekman point
ed to Charles H. Ridgeway, a lobbyist
who fought the anti-discrimination bill,
created a sensation when he declared:
“He is fighting this bill because he
represents the millers’ trust.”
Tongue Removed by Operation.
New York, March 1.—Thomas
French, an official of the Brooklyn
Coal company, has- submitted to an
operation for the removal of his
tongue. About two-thirds was cut

the acreage in order to curtail the size
of the coming crop. It would have been
better to have cut the area to one-half
the acreage of last year. It would have
been still better to have advised and
argued upon a horizontal cut to 10
acres to the plow, assuming that such
a reduction would amount to about
one-half, taking the entire cotton area
into account. The effect of such a re
duction would practically have result
ed in such a large decrease in the ag
gregate cotton output ihat even a very
much larger increase in the j>er acre
application of fertilizers than*is at ail
probable would not suffice to produce
more than a 10,000,000 bale crop, under
most favorable conditions.
For what does a farmer use com
mercial lertiliz.ers if not for the pur
pose of increasing the yield per acre
and at the same time, as an insepar
able incident, to lessen the cost per
pound of producing the cotton? If the
fertilizer does not enable the farmer
to produce a bale of cotton at a less
cost than it could be produced without
the fertilizer, then what good office
does the fertilizers perform? If a
farmer who has been growing cotton
without the aid of fertilizers at a cost
of 7 cents per pound of lint, what is
the use of applying fertilizers if such
use does not lower the cost to 6 cents
or to 5 cents per pound of lint?
Suppose a given farmer has usually
planted 100 acres in cotton and that
the average yield, without fertilizer,
has been about forty bales, wdiich is
about the general average. Will any
one claim that such a yield has cost
less than 7 cents per pound of lint?
Will it cost him any less by simply
reducing the area to 75 acres, and con
tinuing to abstain from fertilizer, or
apply only an insignificant amount per
acre? Not much, if any, and if any
less, it will be because he will be able
to throw out 25 acres of the most un
productive land.
But instead of reducing the area to
only 75 acres, suppose he shall cut it
down to 50 ar ? and apply 200 pounds
per acre of a .. ill balanced, home mix
ed fertilizer. Will he not thus increase
the yield per acre by at ieaot oue-half,
so that he viL get thirty bales from
the 50 acres? The “fixed charges” in
labor, interest, superintendents, etc.,
will be no greater per acre on the 50
acres than they were formerly on the
100 acres, or just half as much for pro
of each bale that cost only 3 cents per
pound, and a smaller percentage of the
portion that cost 7 cents per pound. If
one-half of each bale of cotton cost 3
fents per pound and the remaining
halt cost 7 cents per pound, ther it is
quite clear that the mean cost of the
bale of co f 'on would be an exact mean
between 3 and 7, 01 5 cents per pound.
If one-third only of the bale eost 3
cents a pound, and the remaining two-
thirds eost 7 Cents per pound, the
whole bale will have cost 5 2-3 cents
per pound. If one-fourth of the bale
east 3 cents a pound and the remain
ing three-fourths cost 7 cents per
pound then the whole bale will have
cost 6 cents per pound.

not abso-
lute; but it is well
within
the limits
of probability. Y’ou will say that there
would not be much money profit even
in the last stated case, with cotton at
7 cents. Well, no; but it is very much
better than making 40 bales on 100
acres at a cost of 7 cents and selling it
at 7 cents. The truth is, land that, with
good cultivation and without fertiliza
tion will not produce more than 40
bales on 100 acres is hardly fit to plant
in cotton, even if it be liberally fer
tilized, unless there is an assured pros
pect of selling it at 9 or 10 cents a
pound. Such land ought to be planted
in oats, cowpeas, sorghum, or Bermuda
grass, which cost but little to plant
and cultivate, and the product of which
may be consumed on the farm.
What about the hundreds of thou
sands, yea millions of acres planted an
nually in cotton that average very far
less than 40 bales to the 100 acres—
say not more than 15 or 20 bales to
100 acres? If all such be retired from
cultivation in cotton or corn, and put
into less expensive crops, or pasture,
the problem of the “cotton situation”
aided by a common sense system of
rotation, diversification, liberal manur
ing and fertilization, would be com
pletely and permanently solved.—Hon.
