With the China war abating and peace in sight, the South need not take the advice of the New England competitors and shut down her cotton mills, or cease to build new ones. THE TRUSTS AND FARMERS. The trusts combined and raised the price of nearly every commercial commodity, and with the aid of a protective tariff, got great profits out of the laboring classes and bled the consumers, mainly farmers.

The year book of the department of Agriculture for 1899, which has recently been issued, shows that the farin products and farm animals in 1899, although vastly in creased in quantity aince 1890, had fallen off in value to the ex tent of 706,969,971. This only counts as farm products corn and wheat, oat?, barley, rye, buck wheat, potatoes, hay and cotton.

Solving the Negro Problem.

C., $40,000 in lieu of the life of her husband, which was lost during a race riot in that country. The memorial thus also states: l,We would like to ask for a law to be enacted to this I effect, that should any Srato he ( found guilty of mob law and lynching it be expelled from the Union. The blacks then could evacuate and all the negro haters . could have a State of their own, wherein they need not see a black face. Thus we solve the negro problem." The Canton (Mi8B.) Times calls upon the farmers to reflect and act. It says "The great disaster to the cot ton crop this year, and which happens about every six or seven years, ought to put the thoughtful, real farmer to weighing matters in the realm of real facts. It is hardly possible for a farmer to lose or nearly lose one crop out of six and prosper. He should then turn his attention to some things to fortify him against the great and disastrous loss of this one crop. The way to do that is to grow stock?especially cattle, hogs and sheep, in the order enumerated. The world must eat; stock and intensive farming must : and should be the watchword.

Darlington county is the only county with incomplete returns, but this can hardly change the result, unless it be very one sided, and the absence of the returns from Darlington and possible telegraphic errors may change.
