THE COTTON PROSPECT.

The cotton crop throughout the entire cot
ton-growing section will fall far below the
yield predicted few weeks ago. In Alabama,
in addition to the heavy freshet of one month
ago, which damaged the crop in that State to
the extent of millions, the caterpillars have
appeared and stripped the fields. Some fields
are said to be so overrun, that the worm can
be ladled up in the burrows by the handfulls
The estimated crop is ten per cent. below the
yield of last year. But little complaint of the
caterpillar reaches us from North Carolina
but rust and blight have materially damaged
the crop in that State. From Mississippi the
complaint of blight and rust is universal, and
the prospects are gloomy. Information from
Arkansas is even less encouraging. In the
section of Indian Bay, no rain having fallen
there for seven weeks, the crop will not yield
more than third of the usual average, while
in other portions of the State not more than a
half crop will be made. Advices from Geor-
gia and Florida indicate an increase of the
caterpillars and consequent falling off of
the crop.
The reports from different sections Of our
own State are equally discouraging. The
Sumter Ne,us reports that the veritable army
worm has made its appearance in several
neighborhoods, and has attacked the cotton
crop with its usual destructive energy. For
tunately, the crop is we'll advanced, otherwise
the plant would suffer much heavier disas-
ter. In Abbeville the rust has made its ap-
pearance, and the caterpillars are also doing
much damage The corn crop was also in
jured in Abbeville county by the recent heavy
freshet. The Orangeburg Times says the
cotton crop in that county will fall greatly be-
low the figures anticipated month or six
weeks ago. In some sections of the county
the cotton has borne no new fruit since the
2Oth of August. In the vicinity of Charles
ton the caterpillar is reported as devastating
the fields, in many of which the plant is still
green and covered with young forms and bios
SONS. In some sections of this county, we
learn the worm has appeared, and from the
counties of Anderson and Laurens its work
is reported as very destructive.

POLITICAL ITEMS.

POLlIlCAL ITEMS.
There are 112 Greeley and Brown clubs
in the twenty-one Assembly districts of New
York. '". ..'
Elections occur next Monday in Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Indiana, Dakota, Iowa, Ne
braska and the District of Columbia.
The Vermont State election, which took
place last week, resulted in majority of 25,-
900 for the Republicans. The State election
in Maine occurred on Monday last.
Governor Jacob, Of West Virginia, who
has been claimed as an anti. Greeley Democrat,
it is understood, will write letter in a few
days in which he will declare in favor of the
election of Greeley and Brown. '-.
The Boston Herald remarks that "there
are really but two parties in the present crisis
of the country; those who wish to shake hands
across the bloody chasm and those who are
determined to continue shaking their fists at
each other"
- The Hon. M. P. O'Connor, who has been
urgently requested to take part in the Lib
eral canvass in the Eastern States, left Charles
ton Thursday evening, and will probably
speak in Boston and New York in the course
of the next week.
Judge Mackey says that in case Grant re-
fuses to accede to the demands of the Regu-
lar Republicans for the removal ef certain U.
S. officials in this State, seven electoral votes
will be rendered Mr.. Greeley from South Car
olina.
Governor Jewell says that the Greeley
detection in Connecticut is like the ignis
tatasus-you chase it up, and it disappears.
1t is like the stories Of ague-none here, but
they have it in the next town. The only de-
serters are ex-ofice holders and unappreciated
office seekers.
The Liberal and Democratic State Con-
ventions of New York were in session in Sy-
racuse, last week. A committee circumference
between the two parties was appointed, and
the proceedings were harmonious. Each par.
ty is represented on the ticket, the Liberals
having the Lieutenant Governor and Prison
Inspector, and the Democrats the balance Of
the ticket. Francis Herman is the nominee
for Governor.

1915. In the Legislature the Democrats will
have majority of IA on joint ballot. The
Democrats also elect five Congressman out of
eight.
1t is said the two remaining outlaws of
Robson county are endeavoring to effect
their escape from the State, as they are now
not exactly as safe as formerly-a half dozen
vigilant and determined young men being
constantly on the lookout for them.

A Snake Story.

And now we are told that the
snake is not devoid Of affection. II
mourns sadly as the cooling dove
over its lost mate. We are rath-
er sorry to hear this, as it has al
ways been our habit to widow as
many snakes as possible. But we
will not solemnly swear to do SO
no more until we try what effect
sentiment will have when we see
a reptile crawling at our feet. A
Kentucky exchange tells the fol-
lowing: "Some time since man
named Barger, who resides in
Cumberland county, while getting
tan bark in the woods, killed a
very large rattlesnake, tied it to
his wagon and drgged it home.
The next morning he found the
mate TO it cUiled up under his wag-
on, having followed the trail of its
dead companion for the distance
of two miles, leaving its track in
the dust all along the route"

Gum Arabic. q

What is it, and where does it
come from2 In Morocco, after
the rainy season, or about the
middle Of November, a gummy
juice exudes spontaneously
from the trunks and branches
of the acacia tree. 1t gradually
thickens In the fufrow down
which it runs, and assumes the
form of oval and round drops,
about the size Of a pigeons egg
of different colors as it comes
from red or white gum trees.
About the middle of December
the Moors encamp on the bor-
ders of the forest, and the har-
vest lasts for full month. The
gum is packed in large leather
sacks, and transported on the
backs Of camels and bullocks to
seaporfs for shipment. The har-
vest occasion is made oneof great
rejoicing, and the people for the
time being almost live on the
gum, which is, very nutricious
and fattening. Dissolved in wa
ter and combined with other in
gradients, some of which are
necessary to prevent its becom-
ing mouidy or sour, others mere
adulterationsy it becomes the in
dispensable mucilage sold by

the gentle burglar has sent a let

ing where this little treasure was
hid in Boston. 1t has been found
accordingly, and It's location, to-
gether with the letter, will be u.s.

The Mobile Register says:
s'The negro voters Of Alabama
may ponder this fact with much
profit: Virginia under Demo
cratic rule, has established over
seven hundred schools for the
colored man, while South Caro-
lima under Radical rule, has not
only done nothing for them, but
the Radical State government
has stolen all the school money
and broken down the negro
schools that were already estab-
lished." le

ment of Tennessee took the
