Latham, Alexander & Co., the well known cotton firm of Ne York, on the cotton acreage or 1898, is one which is both interesting and in structive and although a letter filled with figures, it ought to bo road by everj cotton planter. To publish this letter in full i impossible in these columns, but a portion of its facts and figures can n t but prove ot interest, and show how vitally important this question cf cotton acreage is to the South. "The total crop of 1805-96 wax 7,157,346 bales, and it was Bold at the average price of 8 09 cents pet pound, or t40.82 per bale according to the record of exports and she oflicial figures of the Bureau ot Statistics at Washington. The plant era that year made large food crops, and when the planting season the noxt year began, tney were fortified with every requisite to produco ot ton cheaply. "Last year thd total crop was 8,757,964 bales, and the average price was 7,42 cent per pound, or . $37.40 per bale, the crop yielding, perhas, a larger net profit than for many years, because planters bad few supplies to buy. "The success resulting from the conservative policy which was pur sued these two years did not induce planters to adhere to that line of action; on the contrary, they in creased their purchases of fortilizors this year, and many ot them drifted tack almost to the all-cottonprinci pie, and planted the largest cotton acreage ever known, hoping that the world would pay remunerative prices for tha staple, no matter how large the supply "Last year the amount of cotton marketed to January 1st was 6,398, 192 bales, the average price realized was 7.53 cents per pound, t37,b7 per bale, or $242,939,350. "This year 7.260,033 bales ware marketed to January 1st, the aver age price realized was 6.05 cents per pound, $30.49 per bale, or $221, 358,406. "The planters shipped to market 861,841 bales of cotton more by January lit this year than last, and reoeived for them $21,580,944 less money. In other words, owing to the lower price, induced by over production, the people of the South have lost oa cotton shipped to mar ket by January 1st this year, the total value of 861,841 b iles, namely, $32,724,102, and $21,580,944 be sides, making a grand total loss of $54,305,046. "It is conceded on every hand that the price thus far received for this year's crop has yielded no profit to the plaoter, and even though more than two-thirds of the crop have bebo sold to this date, prices re even yet below the cost of pro duction. "Oa account of the Urge crop and low prices resulting therefrom, it is of vital importance, Dot only to the Sooth, but the whole country, that the co' too acreage for next year be materially reduced.

"The price of cotton is more read ily influenced by the inexorable law of supply and demand than any other article ot commerce, tor no commodity is bo sensitive to fluc tuations, and when a superabun dance is banging over the market, cotton trade in alt its branches is ad versely affected, ".- "jCotton raising in this country is virtually a monopoly two-thirds of the entire prod net iou each year is readily taken by buyers in foreign conn tries, and the planters in the Sonth are justly entitled to a fair re muneration for their labor. .'An over-supply is the only reason why they have to sell 6,090,000 to 7,000 000 bales of cotton to foreign spin ners, without ptofit. "The mere fact that a large crop has been planted affects the price adversely at once, and. continues to affect it until , the crop has been marketed, and it the planters of the South would, determine to largely reduce the acreage, a favorable in fluence upon prices and the cotton trade of the world would at once be come apparent." ; TO CURB A COLO IN WSE DAT Take Laxative liromo Quinine Tub let ?.

"There isn't a more faithful being on earth," said a Georgia business man to a reporter, "than one of our Georgia darkies. Neither is there one more su perstitious, nor vet again is there one who loves better the products of the hencoop. And Cartersville isn't any dif ferent from any one of a hundred south ern towns. When I was down there some time ago, a customer of mine who bad a fancy for chickens and who ban always had more or less trouble in maintaining ownership of them told me be bad a remedy and asked me to go around with him and see it. I wanted him to tell me what ft was, but be in sisted on my seeing Hearst, so I went along with him. and in a few minutes was standing in his back yard before what was to me tbe oddest chicken coop I ever saw. It was constructed of large timbers and there were a dozen places in its walls where a tand could be run in and everything cleaned out within reach. Then there was no fas tening on the door, nor was there any kind of protection to tbe fowls. I couldn't understand bow such an in viting snap could be of any nse to the owner and said as much. " 'The charm is in tbe timber,' said he. '"No.'saidL " 'Fact, just tbe same, 'said be. 'Ton don't see it on tbe outside and yon don't know it, but the darkies around here do, and tbey won't come within 100 yards of that coop if they can help it. I don't care how full of chickens it is. 'Cause why? It is built of tbe timbers of a gallows on which a man was buug about three months ago in another conn ty. It cost me something extra to get it, but it baa more than paid lor itself since I bave bad it, and I am in tbe market now to buy all the secondhand scaffolds in Georgia. If yon run across a sheriff any place with one for sale, let me know by next mail, won't you, please?' Itwasatrne bill," eonoluded the traveling man, "for I saw a darky tried on it, and be refused a big silver dollar to go down to the coop to get a chicken for breakfast "Washington Star.
