Mr. Editor: In a recent issue of your paper you prebict that cotton would soon bring 10 cents in the Winnsboro market, and based your prediction on the facts that the crop of 1839 90 amounted t' 7,307,281 bales, and that on November 1, 1889, c>tton brought 101 cents in New York. New let us see if a comp.tris-i of present conditions with the cundi *on then existing will sustain your posi tion, not forgetting th it in a mat er of such magnitude and extent- at t*e cot ton business we should be careful nii;t to rely on insufficient d:tta. An examination of th' sLttisi ics shows (to take figure, given by Latham, Alexander & Co.) that the crop of 188990 am>ni-i*ed t> 7,313,726 bales, an increase of 5.46 per c "nt over the preceding year's crop of 6,735,082, which was a decrease of 1.18 per cent on the preceding 1887-88 year crop. Now the world's consumption of cotton in 1889-90 was 12,043,297 bales. The crop of 1894-95 amounted to 9,892,766 bales, and increase of 31.43 per cent over the preceding year crop of 71527.211 bales, while the world's total.consumption in 1894-95 was 13, 839,0OO bales, whence we formulate the following: - -. World's 6,735,082 11,394,880 1889-90. 7,313,726) 5 pr et. increase, 12,04:3,273 1893-94. 7,527,211 12,871,234 1894-95. 9.872,766) 31 pr ct. increase 13,839,000 1895-96. 7,300,700 14,786,766 The figures for 1895-96 are fr-om your supposition that this year's crop will not exceed that of 1889-90. And sup posigj. that the .increase in consump t~~on this year over last year wiil e;nal that of last year, 1894-95, over the con sumption of the year before, what then do we see? With normal cropt conditions and a steadily increase of consumption up to 1889 90 the crop of that year exceeds the crop of the year before by 5 per cent and brings 101 cents per pound. Rut last year (1894-9.5) the crop 'exceeds that of the year be fore by 31 per .ent, while conatnmp tion had increased by a much smaller percentage. Conus quently there was a larger surpiusage of the crop of 189495 eftover, and unless you canr show that this surplusage is much in sufficient to make up for this year's short crop, you will have to abandon your* position as untenable. ~In 1894-95 tbe increased production over 1893-94 was 81 per cent, while the increase of consumption, was 7 per cent, leaving a visible supply of 2,700, 000 bales. Now add this visible sup ply to this year's crcp, and unless the ~ sa~me ratio with consumption holds, as held, in 1889-90, prices shoold not com pare.t We calculate to kee;> pace with the ~ increase<d demand the normnal erop of 1894-95 was 7,903,571 bales, whereas the actual crop promnises to be about 7,300,700 bales. Whien we add to this year's promised crop the surplus brought over from last year we have an actual supply 9,289,875, whbich is 14 per cent above the normal supply of 8,098,749 bales to maintain the '87 and '90 prices. Deductinig then 14 per, cent from the prices of '89-90, Iwe have 105 minus 14 per cent=9.03, which should be the average price of this year's crod (1895-96) in New York, as, regulated by the ration of supply and demand. Of course, other considera' ions, as, depreciation of currency, influence of panics, increase in Egypt's crop might enter to lower this estimate of 9.03 ceHts. We feel safe in saying that we have seen our highest prices for this year's crop. This article was written prior to November 1, 1895. Yours truly, John W'. Lemast -r. Ridgeway, Nov. 11, 1895. After January 1, 1898, a man in order to vote must pay taxes on $300 worth of property or be able to read and write. Up to that time if he has not the property and cannot read and write, if he can explain and under stand the Constitution when read to him, or in other words, if he can stand an examination before a beard of t wo Reformers and one Conservative, he will be given a registration ticket, which agill be good for all time, and if he loses it he can get it renewed on the certigcate of the clerk of court.

Knowledge by be employe of the unsase character or ondition of the machinery or appli .uces used shall be no defense. No .greement signed by the employes to xempt the -:orporation from damages hall be valid. The convention closed he day considerating a proposition to nake the stockholders of all invest nent corporations liable for the stock hey hold and such an amount over Ld above as may be fixed by the Gen ;ral Assembly. At the very long night session the onvention completed the article on ,orporations and sen; it to a third read ng. The heaviest fights were made n the question of the liability of tockholdei s of insolvent banks and )ther corporations, and on the ques tion of refusing to allow railroads to ship at "released" contract rates. The eonvention, in regard to the latter matter, passed a section prohibiting the roads from using the :"released" rate system. In regard to the former, the stockholders ate to be held respot - sible for the stock, and an amount sufficient to cover all deposits in the case of banks and to satisfy ail indebt edness in the case of other corpora tions. Electric ]itters. Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more Igenerally needed, when the languid exhausted feel ing prevails, when the liver is torpid and sluggish and the need of a tonic and alter ative is felt. A prompt use of this medi cine has often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will act more surely in counteracting and freeing the system from the nalarial poison.

From all we ean gather from the country Senator Irby seems to have made a centre shot in bis specch be tore the constitutional convention on the suffrage article. The wool hats who are doubtful of their ability to pass muster on the reading and writ ing and property qualifications are hot at the idea of having to take chances with a supervisor on their nderstanding of the constitution. They have been trained to believe their votes to be natural inherited rights and object to receiving them as ,ifts or to being smuggled into the allot boxes through the back door. rhey say the' present law is bad enough but the one proposed is worse nd seem to have the idea that the wicked antis has flim flamnmed or oodooed or hornsnoggled Ben Till Cautious politicians think this feel *ng will wear away gradually as the racical working of the law is seen nd it found to bet not so bad on the enr and uneducated as it looks. 'hey recsrl1that there was almost as ,ad'an outcry against the eight box1 aw when it was first introduced. 'hey are, however, e.gitated with ub>t as to whether the reaction will ~ome in time to prevent Irby from ~etting on top. The tide seems to be is way in the country iust now and. t is doubtful *.if man:y men could go - o the legislature from Piedmont oth Carolina endorsing the suffrage rticle as it stands-unless the con-i ervatives helped to send them. The conservatives are generally atisfied. They think they understand e law and that if the legislature vill leave it as it stands and not try o monkey with it the results will be atisfactory all around.-Greeniville \ews.
