DIVISIONS IN THE AiD}TiEsfsE CAN'T

We have noidea, even if the Locofocos shall
get through National Convention harmoni-

We have now before US the cali of a meet,
ing III Madison county, Georgia, to consider
the propriety of holding another Locofoco
Convention at hlilledgevilIe, on the ground
that Mr.. Calhoun, who was nominated by this
late Convention, is not the choice of the NDcs
mocracy of Georgia." and that that Conveii~
ton transcribed its powers in acting Upon the
Presidential question at all. "a ~
The Raleigh Register has recently pubilsh+
ed series of powerful numbers, addressed
"to the Democratic Party proper of North
Carolina" the object Of which is to show thai

The luck of an old Sailor.-Sone inoui-
ries were made a few days since, by Samuel
Kellogg, Esq of Hartford, at the request of the
British Consul for the whereabouts of one
Edward Benson. The person sought for,
turns out to be an old tar, living in the town
Of WetbersGeld, Connecticut, who on hearing
OF the anxiety respecting him, made visit to
Hartford to ascertain why he, an old sailor,
poor and unknown, should be inquired for,
through the public press.
The New Haven Times says, that the result
was in finding that he was entitled TO a pen
sion from the British government of nineteen
gnineas year since 1923, and six guineas a
year extra for extra wounds; making upwards
of two thousand four hundred dollars now due
him, with an income for life of twenty-five
guineas year. This was Of course glad news
to him, for he was very poor, with o family
of ten children He was pressed into the Bri-
tlsh service from an American whale ship, and
served under Lord Nelson; was in several
batiies--at Trafalgar, among others-and re-
celved i'll different actions, four or five severe
wounds, so that on two occasions he was laid
up in Woolwich hospital for months. He is
now seveniy'four years Of age, hale and
hearty old man, contented and of good cheer
with many of the characteristics Of his craft

a lIINT.-Mr. Estabrook, formerly clergy
man OF AthOl, in this county, was we'll known
for his waggish turn of mind no less than for
tervent, unaffected piety, and genuine benevo-
lence. here are many anecdotes connected
with his long hinistry-and he died al very
advanced age-which are well worth preserv-
ing. Towards the last of his life PROPOSE
ton was made in the parish, or as itthen was, in
town meeting, to increase his salary to an "a
mount corresponding with the increased ex-
penses of living, and the increased wealth Of
the society. The motion was in fair way
of passing, when, to the surprise of every one,
the old gentleman rose and. begged his friends
not to vote larger sum for him. He asked
it as favor of the parish. Some one inquired
il it was not the fact, as had been stated, that
the present salary was insufficient for his sup
port Mr.. Estabrook admitted this, but beg
ged that they would not vote him a larger
sum. His friends pressed around him to in
quire the reason, which he declared peculiar
and Of rather private nature. On being
pressed, however, he stated his inducement TO
the course ne had taken. He declared that he
was opposed TO voting any more. because Il

KENTUCKY has put her helm hard down for
paying her debts. She has, by wise nego-
tiation with her banks, corrected the old mis-
take of giving State bonds for Bank shares, and
exchanged back the shares for the bonds, get
ting both parties out of debt. Her debt is by
this operation reduced to about three millions !;
and to pay off this, the Legislature have mpos-
ed heavier taxes than are paid in any other
State. Most of the circulating bonds for four,
five and six dollars, issued in 1911 to the a
mount of three hundred thousand dollars, have
been funded in thousand dollar new bonds.

RESTRAINTS ON MARRIAoE.-Sir J. X. Bruce
gave judgment in the Vice Chancelor's Court
last week on point respecting Wills. A teetaior
in 1881 made will, by which he gave a share Of
his estate TO his daughter and her issue; but by a
codieil, added in 1896, lie provided that his pro.
perry should pass over TO other persons if his
daughter should ever marry. The daughter did
marry, and the "oiher persons" stepped forward
to claim the money. The Judge said that all
such restraints upon marriages were weld by the
English law and tho declaration Of the Court
was that the lady should keep the money.

THE COTTON CROP OF 1872


THE COTTON CROP OF 1872
Mr.. Editor;
/ discover, BY the late advices rom liver
pool, that the cotton crop Of the United States
IS estimated at 100000 Bales. This esti'
mate is, no doubt, based upon letters which
have been written in this country, 70 CONNER
cal houses in England, and other parts ofEu.
rope. The object Of this communication is to
place the subject before the commercial and
Agricultural community, 80 ~he thai runs may
read" The late Treaty Of Peace, concluded
between China aud England, must, ere long,
open an extensive trade between the former
country and the commercial world.--And ifthe
interior Of China is penetrated BY tn English
and Anglo Saxon race, the cotton fabrics, TO
a great extent, must be and by a people who
have hitherto lived, bs j: weres within them
selves. The population Of China is estimated
at three hundred millions Of people-what a
vast quantity Of coslon fabrics it viii take to
elOlhe this population in the most &c nolhical
style The effects Of this war will no doubt,
rebound to the interest Of the christian word,
and tie cotton Planters Of the South.
My estimate Of the cotton crop Of U. States
for the year 1912, Is two millions and seventy
one thousand bales. The CO ton crop Of this
country inthe early part ofthe season o'eyery
is over estimated, both in our own county
and in Europe. Estimates are made wiiholt
any data-and oten from the al captaRaum
remarks Of persons travelling through the
country unacquainted either with the sultiva-
ton or tie yield Of the cotton plant. The crops
IN North Carolina and Virginia have always
been small, owing to the northern latitude OF
those states. But owing to the heavy rau
and storms which prevailed there, when the
crop was 10 full maturity, it will be small-r this
year, than it has been for a numb er Of yesrs.
The crops in South Carolina and Georga
are much better than they we're in 1910 aud
II but from correspondents, | do not believe
that they win exceed the ero1s 1889. In
Florida, the crop was much injured By rains
and storms, during the falI-wilh the excep-
ton Of east Alabama, the crop of this State,
will fall short Of the crop Of 1889. In north
Alabama, Tennessee and Louisiana, the crop
will not exceed that Of 1889. In Mississi p
(the Soulh-West) since 1889, more than four
thousand hands have been removed 10 Texas
and there are many large plantations now lay.
ing as perfect wastes.-In East Mississippi
from personal observations, l am ander the
impression, that the crop Of 1912, viii exceed
the crop If Is39.--Below you have an esti-
mate ofthe crop, and at the enl Of the season
you viii find that the cotton crop Of the U. s.
has been oyerestimated in Europe and tbs
country, by nearly half million Of Bales.
