The drop of 23 cents per bushel in the price of wheat in the Chicago grain pit was a nice little sum to lose on 18,(XX),000 bushels. The May wheat corner was a gigantic speculation which fell through greatly to the consternation of the hulls and delight of the bears. Doe.' this reduce the price of Hour any? We hope so.

We publish in this issue of the Times on the first page what is intended its a reply of the. Manufacturers Record to an editorial of the State. There seems to l>e still a difference of opinion between the Staite and the Record anal Dr. Hatcher and every one else who expressed in print a different opinion to thait entertained and expressed by the Staite as to the real motive of the Ogdcn movement. The Conference for Education in the South so far as Ogdcn is concerned to our mind cannot he that purely disinterested, noble generosity, philanthropy which aetuaites one trull. *1? ' ..?t?j ...oniii? 11ic (Mi?iiiuiion <?i education. We cannot think that Dr. Hatcher is blinded by prejudice; but for the Manufacturers Record we are not prepared t > vou< h along this line of thought. We have had no reason to change our views, from those expressed by us last year when the Ogdcn party paid Winthrop College a pop call en route to Birmingham. We arc truly glad that the conference was held in Columbia this year, for the reason that if the conference is really not what it purports to he from the standpoint of the State, the opportunity will thus be afforded to find out what is really and truly the meaning, and we feel fully assured, if there is anything or lacking in the conference which is short of the ideals, the State will detect > it, and have the manhood to fear- ] i I iessly expose it, as this paper was p no doubt instrumental especially in 11 securing the acceptance of an invi- j tation to meet in Columbia this j, year, imbued as it was with a spirit of pride and purpose that South ti Carolina?that is Columbia should * have the honor and advantage of 5 entertaining so distinguished a lxxly J of educators and at the same time s reap the benefits of so intellectual a ( conference. 1 WHAT SULLY SAYS. Cotton King (iives Wise Advice to Cotton Planters. To the Cotton (Irowersof the South: "If you wish to win your battle i and obtain a fair price for your cotton you must reduce your acreage very considerably. You have surprised the world ?by j the manner in which you hare held your cotton. Surprise it again l?y cutting down your cotton acreage. Ib> not be led astray by the pres- ' cut steadiness of prices. Three causes have contributed to bring about, this rise of more than . 1 oho oont <i tioiind. First. The urgent demand aris- { : ing from an unprecedented eon- j . sumption. Second. Your courage and wis- j dom in making the buyer meet your ! terms. | Third. The lielief that you would | cut your acreage to such an extent j I that the supplies from ihinvrop I the growth t?f lOOo-OG would make a eominereial crop no longer than the world needs. The lirst two causes lose their force the moment it is known that ' there is a prospect for a moderately large rrop next year. Even if the mills take 12,000,000 hales during the current season, this would leave a carry-over-of 1 1,">00,000 hales. Hence the neces sity of a smaller crop this year. f Do not let any rise in prices bci tween now and the end of the plantI ing season deter you from reducing your acreage. Such an advance would be merely > anticipating that you were making - the decrease which your friends \ have advised you to make. If the June report of the govcrn-ImMnl.^liMWfS t,llilt, yon luiYi' failed b tue advance would l>e the speculators who sell their futures at a profit. The price of the cotton you produce will la; regulated by the actual, not the expected, reduction. Don't depend on your neighbor to do the reducing. In this matter of acreage reduction hear in niind three suggestions: Don't rely on had weather to cut down the size of the crop. Don't put a Iarce icri?jny<? inP, cotton simply because it is too late to plant corn or other diversified crops. It would Ik* far I Hitter to let part of your land lie idle than to run the risk of raising a crop so large as to make possible another period of low-priced cotton. I am making this appeal to you because 1 regard the next few weeks as critical to the south and because , I believe that every man who is interested in the welfare of the south should urge the importance of a reduced acreage. Daxiki. J. Sully." BIG REVIVAL AT "jONESVILLE. Death of Two Good People?Personal News. Jonesville, April 2-lth. The cold snap last week killed many nice bean patches and other tender vegetables but iK)tatoes and the fruit was only partially injured and it seems at this time that there will be a fair fruit crop after all. Farmers are quite busy planting their cotton crop while the most of the corn crop will not be planted till the c. otton seed is put in the ground. Mr. Henry Gallman died at his home on Captain Foster's Wright place last Wednesday. Mr. Gallman was a g<H)d citizen, a Christian man and a kind father and loving husband. He leaves a wife, several children and many near relatives to mourn his (loath, hut not as those j who have no hope, for he left testi- ^ mony that he had made his peace \ with his God. < Mrs. A. O. Bprousc died at her f home in town last night. She had j suffered much with consumption j and laid during her last illness ( made preparation for death and J united with the Methodist church. j She leaves a husband, seven children ,] and many kindred and friends to ? mourn her death. u The meeting which had been in a progress for nearly two weeks at the $ Methodist church closed last night. Gi The meeting was a gracious one, jc resulting in the conversion of several j onitents, while a blessing come to lany of the church members and he addition of twenty-one monitors to the church. Rev. J. W. vilgo came down last week and issisted Bro. Camak in the meeting md then he went to Mesopotamia Saturday, held quarterly conference md came hack to Jonesville and ^reached yesterday morning and ast night, two strong and forceful sermons, the one in the morning m the resurrection of Jesus Christ md the one at night concerning the ton virgins. There were several stands of lieautiful flowers placed upon the pulpit, tables and organ to remind the audience that Easter, though late in the season, had come again, and that if the ladies could not break an alalmstor Ik>x of ointment upon the Savior's head they could honor his memory with lovely flowers early on Easter morn. At the close of the services last night the sacrament of the Ixird's supper was administered to a large number of communicants by Presiding Elder Kilgo. Roy Whitlock who is at Clemson ran down home last Friday to spend Easter with his parents. I attended U. S. court in Greenville last week and visited the family of that line old gentleman llenry F. Means, who is now ncaring his 00th birthday, and his good wife just ton years younger than her husband,arc a venerable couple that have done many alms deeds in their long lives and are still remembering j the poor.
