A PLEA FO&
LESS COTTON.
The English manufacturers
are getting our cotton for al-
most nothing. Your family
needs potatoes milk and but-
ter garden vegetables and or-
chard fruits such as peaches
apples appricots pears and
blackberries. Joshua said to
the children of Israel "Choose
ye this day whom you will
serve." I say to you will you
raise nothing but cotton or will
you raise such things as your
family needs? Will you work
forthe millionaire factories of
America and England or will
you work for your family?
Dear reader will you not this
moment resolve that you will
raise the things mentioned
above for your family? Cheap1
cotton for England of milk
and potatoes for your family
which will it be next year? Cut
this out and paste it on the
wall and read it for a reminder
every week for six months.

THE FINEST WEST
POINT SCHOLAR.
From the Boston Herald.
It is a solemn fact that Capt.
Carter of the United States
Corps of Engineers who is
now before a court-martial
charged with conspiracy to
defraud the goverment out of
something like 5000000 was
the finest scholar who ever
went throifgh West Point his
record being unparalleled in
the history of the institution.
He has since been reckoned
one of the finest officers in the
service and for that reason
absolute confidence was repos-
ed in him. His superiors never
questioned his acts. Dash-
ingly handsome wealthy and
cultivated he was selected
eight months ago as military
attache to the highest embas-
sy that at Lo'ndon. And now
in the belief of those who have
examined his accounts as an
engineer there is enough evi-
dence to send a civilian to
prison? for twenty years1
POSTAL' DEFICIENCY.
Postmasters Generally As-
sert that Reductions
Are Out of Ques-
tion. Washington January 22. .
About forty postmasters haVe
answered the circular sent out
by Postmaster General Gary
asking what savings cotild be
made in the administrations of
their offices in order to avert a
deficiency in the postal ap-
propriation; Nearly ail of them
set out that their offices are
now being run on a nominal
basis and that a further reduc-
tion in the Avorking force is out
of the question. A few excep-
tions td this rule admit that
some savirig might be made
but say it will cripple the exist-
ing service to cut down the
force of employes. Meanwhile
personal remonstration against
any reduction in force that will
impair tfie carrier delivery is
being made to officials here.
Now that congress has been
effectually acquainted with the
probable airlount of the defi-
ciency and the determination
to cut a number of deliveries
if no appropriation is made to
meet it the opinion is express-
ed that some aid will be given
to th&-department. Evenifit is
not forthcoming officials sz.y a
good purpose will be ac-
complished by the information
received from the postmasters
in reply to the circular of in-
quiry in that it will serve as a
basis for future calculations of
requirements of the service in
the localities affected.
THE ECCENTRIC
RIO GRANDE.
Washinton Post.
"This Rio Grande can prac-
tice more eccentric dodges than
any other stream I know of"
said Mr. Joseph Copelarfd of
Laredo. Tex. at the Raleigh
"Its navigable use are almost
nil owing to the numerous
sandbars that obstruct the chaf!
nel and it isn't deep enough
to interfere to any extent with
smugglers' who carry on
ly trade between the two re-
publics. It is when a big fresh-
et comes along that the Rio
Grande is really In its glory
and shows to best advantage.
It will take a strip of Texas1
territory and lard it over on
the Mexican side or put Mex-
ican soil under the protecting
wing of the stars" and stripes!
with the greatest impartiality.
It plays no favorities that river
doesn't when it fs in a
mood for transferring real es-
tate from one government to
another.
"Last summer it played a
scurvy trick on the United
States garrison at Fort Ring-
gold. The soldiers get their
drinking water from it but a
heavy rain came along and

channel was away out of its
old bed and the pipes were
left high and dry 200 feet
away from any moisture. Theii
dispatches were sent to Wash-
ington and the damage was
repaired at considerable ex-
pense. Hardly had the works
been put in condition again
when here comes another rise
and dnce more the stream lefts
Ringgold in the lurch for its
water supply.
VA this the commanding of-
ficer waxed wrath and set a
letter begging that the post be
abandoned. Life was too
short he added to wraste in
trying to accommodate one's
self to a dad gasted river that
was rain descended arid rather
than to be subject to the
vagaries of the Rio'Grande he
preferred to move. 'The warv
department however conclud-
ded to give it one more trial;
and the post is still there.-"
