J ) 3pe torixmg Jiaxv !!y WILLIAM H. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Sunday Morning, Ahs. 9, 1891 - TOO MUCH GROWN. It is generally conceded that the price of cotton will be low this year, and that the average jwill not be much, if any, above the cost ot culti vation. There is one thing certain, and that is if the prices; do not run higher than any one now believes they will there will be but a very small margin between the cost of - cultivating, picking and "marketing and what it sells for. Even when the price is what is considered fairly high jhere is not much profit in cotton, for it is more than ordinarily good j land any where outside of-' the rich bot toms of Mississippi,J Alabama and Louisiana, with perhaps, some small .rich sections in some of the other States, where the land . will yield a bale of 400 pou'nds to the acre. Suppose the market price was 12 cents per pound, jand it will have to be more than "ordinarily good cotton to bring that) the cot ton grower will realize 50 per acre, out of which he will have to pay the cost of cultivation, marketing, &c, which will be at least eight cents a pound which will leave him $18 per acre. But the average! land won't begin to do this, nor jmuch more than half of it. But that isn't much and is a very poor return for rich land. There is hardly anything else which could be grown, for which there is a market, that wouldn't pay better, without taking one -half the risk. Grass would do it, beans would do it; potatoes would do it, hops would do it, there are 'dozens of things that would I do it and very few that wouldn't, j It is not a good crop io raise any way, unless where rotation of crops is pursued, because, like tobacco ,it is a soil exhauster and has nothing to give back to the soil in return for - what it takes. Grass, wheat, oats, corn, beans, potatoes, all give back something in return, ( while some of them give much, and . leave the land,or furnish the material to leave it in better condition than they found it, and not so poor thatitpias to be - coaxed with high priced fertilizers to sprout anything. For thts reason cot ton should not be made the leading crop onny other than Ion naturally -. rich and practiclally and' nexhaustible lands,such as are found in the alFuvi al bottoms of Mississippi, Alabama and Louisana. There is a sort of mystic relation between cottonand the negro, and as he, following the bent of his inclination-and his instinct,1 drifts South ward, so will cotton culture as a matter of necessity go Southward, and the time will be in the not dis tant future when the cotton field will be a rarity, north of Southern South Carolina and Georgia and when the bulk of the cotton i crop in this' country will be grown in Alabama, Mississippi, riorida,;Louisana, Texas" and the. Southern part of Arkansas as South Carolina and Georgia. Within ten years the larger part of the land now given to cotton culture in this State will be given to tobacco and other crops for which there is more demand and in which there wilt be more money. As It will disappear as a crop of any considerable pro portions from this State, so will it from Virginia, Tennessee, the larger part of Georgia and South Carolina. This does not necessarily mean a very large decrease in j the produc tion, for as the area is contracted the system of cultivation will improve and the acres cultivated will be made productive enough to supply all the 1 demands. Eastern North Carolina will be before many years a great .tobacco and but a small cotton growing Sec tion, tobacco disDOSsessingr cotton j - - which it is now doing rapidly with out making much fuss over it, and when this day comes then the farm ers of this section will begin to : pick themselves up and feel that they are alive. The outlook for the future of cot ton is not goldep-hued because its production has increased out of-all proportion to the increase in . the number of people who wear or use cotton, and the increase sf ill goes on not only in this country, but in India, Africa and Southern' Russia, all of which will divide the market with the cotton growers of this country. It looks as if low prices have come to stay and the sooner our planters recognize it the better for them. MINOR MENTION. Notwithstanding the fact that the Secretary of the Treasury informs us that there is more money in circula tion now in this , country than there ever was, reports from-the West say that the demand for money to move the crops is beginning to be felt by many banks. Coupled with this is the statement that the U. S- Treasu ry took in within the week $600, 000 more than it paid out. This illustrates the peculiar system of finances which locks up at centers the money which" the people need in their regular business, and causes a stringency, because I much of - the money declared to be in circulation is not in circulation at all, but locked up in the Government . and other vaults. There may be, as the Secre tary reports, $1,500,000,000 of money in existence, but not in circulation, for these figures embrace not only what is in circulation but what is locked up, which constitutes by far the larger part. "Jack the Ripper," or some other ripper, has been perform ing again in the White Chapel dis trict of London, and, as j usual, the : police were not about and the ripper escaped. This time the victim was woman aged seventy years. The mur derer in this instance was probably nor the original Jack!, but a base imi tator, for he did not disembowel and otherwise mutilate his victim as Jack was in therhabit of doing, but he was no slouch with the keen blade. ! It is astonishing that in a great city like London, in a densely-populated dis trict, such crimes can be perpetrated where people are constantly passing to and fro, and perpetrated with im punity. We are informed that broils and fights are of siich nightly and even hourly occurrence that the po lice pay no attention to them, and this is ' prob&bly the secret of the escape of the murderer or murders infesting that wretched locality. The police pay no attention to the out cries until some one informs them that a murder has been committed, and then they rush in to find a m'utilated corpse, and go hunting for a clew. They are- doubtless afraid ta risk their own carcasses, and give the danger spots a wide berth until they are called upon ! and can't help going, when the racket is over and the. deadly, work done. If a half dozen "Jack the .Rippers" could be turned loose among the. police of London it might have a s alutary effect, and put some, hustle ; into those that Jack didn't put his knife into. '. . ; Advices from the grain Centers in- the West are to the effect that 'the scheme proposed to the - Alliance meif to.hold back their wheat for higher prices is not meeting with an affirmative' response, the -receipts being quite as large as in preceding years at thistime. With the short age in the crops abroad and the de mand there will necessarily be for the surplus of this country, prices' must be high and perhaps those who hold back may realize more than those who market ; early, but if the. holding back was generally pursued the result would be to throw the bulk of the crop on., the market later in the season, faster than fit cottld be well handled and thus -defeat the very- purpose in view in holding back. If the prioes demanded were unreasonably high . it would force consumers to:restrict the consump tion and seek othefaod cheaper .sub stitutes until prices came down VThe . average Western farmer, whether he is tn debt" or not, and most of them are more or iess;canno; ...anorp, 10 hold his grain long, for he must mar ket it during the fair .and winter, when the . frozen . roads are in the best condition for travel, and get it off his hands before the time comes for: bis spring plowing to get ready for another crop. This gives him all he ;can dcy and leaves him no spare time to spend on the road. Hon. Jerry . Simpson , wants - to know why Jay, Gt)uld hauls a hog on his railroad from Chicago to New York for $3.00 and -charges him $15.00. Perhaps there are other people who cannot see the reason either. Mr. Gould might reply that it the $3 hog enjoyed parlor car ac commodations as Jerry does it would be assessed more than $3; If Jerry would put up with the $3 regulations he might come in on the $3 ride. But he wouw Hardly do tnat witn a bouncing bie crap on his Kansas farm and his $5,000 salary as Con gressman. He would rather pay the $16 and enjoy the pleasure of rasp- ing Jay. Clinton prison, N. Y.f seems to be a great shirt factory. There the State employs 441 men in making shirts, to compete with poor women who have to earn their living with their needles. The official reports give 441 men and the putput 56,000 dozen shirts, but the New York Advertiser asserts tnat tnere were 700 men so employed, land wants to know what has become; of the 94,000 dozens not accounted for, from which it is to be inferred that Chn- ton prison, is not onljr running op . . . . position to poor working- women, but that somebody has been doing some pretty hefty stealing ot shirts.

Marseilles, France, discovered " this comet in 1818. Professor Encke, of Berlin, made it the subject of special study. Encke predicted its return in 1822, and it was seen in that year by Sir .Thomas . Brisbane . jii New South Wales. Encke predicted that it would return again in; 1825 and 1828.
