Conditi ON of the Cotton Crop.

We are indebted to Mr.. 81. G. Hester,
superintendent of the Cotton Exchange, for
the following crop report for May, dated
june 10, made to the New Orleans Cotton
Exchange by the committee on information
and statistics, Harrison Watts, chairman:
LoUIsIANA.
From thirty three parishes we have re-
ceived eighty replies, average date May 70,
which report an average decrease in the
area planted in cotton of nearly ten per
cent. A large proportion OF the cultivable
lands OF the river parishes has been inun-
dated, equal to about one per cent of the
whole State, and the waters will subside too
late for farmers to replant. The season is
at least three weeks late, and the weather
much less favorable than usual. The stand
of cotton is fair considering the inclement
season, but its condition is not good, the
plant being small and very grassy. Heavy
Dor is about the same in numbers, but more
efficient. No commercial fertilizers used.
MISSISSIPPI.
We have received 10l replies from thirty
three counties in this State, bearing dates
from twenty fifth of May to fifth instant.
The decrease in acreage planted is small
one to two per cent. The damage from
overflow is confined mostly to the river
counties, and is estimated at about eight
per cent of their production. Weather very
generally less favorable; complaints of too
much rain and cold nights. Stands fair,
though the plant is small and backward.
Crop from two to three weeks later than
last year. Labor good. No fertilizers
used in this State. The present condition
of the crop is not encouraging, the plant
being in the grass and backward, Occasi0ned
by heavy rains. Complaint is also made of
inferior seed in many sections.
ARKANSAS.
We have received fifty-three answers
from twenty three counties dates ranging
from nineteenth of May to second of June),
and they indicate q decrease in acreage of
about eight per cent. The damage by over
flow appears to have been confined to
Chicot, Desha and Drew counties; the first
named has suffered most and to the extent
of forty per cent, whereas the injury in
Desha is estimated ct twenty per cent, and
Drew st ten per cent
The weather is reported equally as favor
able as last year, but in some counties it
has been wet and unseas0nably cold. The
stands are represented as very good in most
counties, although the crop is said to be
about ten days later than last year. The
labor is good, and about equal in efficiency
and number, though somewhat demoralized
in the inundated districts, and the present
condition of the crop, with very few ex-
cepti0ns, is good. Little or no fertilizers
are used in this State.

Eeath of George Sand.

The cable dispatches from London re-
port the death of Amantine Lucille Aurore
Dupin Dudevant, known to the literary
world as George Sand. This remarkable
woman was born in Paris in 1904, her father
being Maurice Dupin, of the French army.
N. Dupin died when his daughter was four
years old and left her to the care Of her
grandmother. lady of rank and wealth,
residing at Chateau de Nohant, whose es.
tate she subsequently inherited. Mile.
Dupin passed three years of her girlhood
in q Paris convent and was known as Q
singularly religious devotee, accusing her
self of constant sin and becoming de-
spondent. When released she greatly
changed. She became possessor of Nohant
in 1921, and the following year married NJ.
Dudevant, q retired officer, with whom she
lived ten years. She then gave her fortune
to her husband, separated from him and
went to Paris, to live by writing. 1t was
at that time that she assumed male attire,
and called herself George Sand, having be-
come associated with Jules Sandeau, her
friend, who was an author. Her published
works are numerous; among them are
Indiana" valentine" "Lelia," me
tella," "Leone Leoni," Jacques" "Spiri-
dion" and "Consuello." These include
all styles of novel writing, bril-
liant, blasphemous, incoherent, fool
ish or morbid, according to the taste
of readers. Later, she wrote LA Petite
Fsdette," and many other stories, which
are in no way Objectionable. She appesrs
always to have been contradiction of hez-
self. The sweeter side of her character
was her love for the beauties of nature,
which was unbounded, and she excelled in
nainfino o. 1-sssS~ F~.- es~s-- 49, r x-%---a
scenes in France. She pr0fessed to disre-
gard the marriage system. and was politely
called . socialist. She saved little from
her large earnings, and supported herself
in late years by writing sketches for the
Rerue des Deaur Mondes.

case move boldly forward in favor Of the
negro. She will move on the principles:
First-That human nature 10 human ma
ture, and that black human nature 10 IKE
white human nature (pro-slavery theories
to the contrary notwithstanding, and that
under the promptings of this law of human
nature the negro will again become fug,.
tive from tyranny, and seek for lite ana
freedom out of the Union if he csn not ind
it within the Union.
Second-Rome will build on the basis
that the Confederate loves his own cause
more than he loves the Protestant Union OF
North America.
Third-That the Confederate loves the
idea Of political independence more than
he hates the negro.
Fourth-Thst the negro power represents
the pivot on which political and eccleeiast-
ical domination are to turn in the New
World.
Fifth-That the Confederate South is al
ready monarchical in sentiment.
These are the elements of danger which
underlie the social and political life of
Protestant republican America to-day.
These dangers are immediate. They can
only be ayerted by the North being true to
the principles upon which the free institu-
tions of the republic are founded. If these
principles are not true, if republicanism is
q sham aud Professionalism is error, then the
= x:ch ~ <hn 1aun Of
archy and the Catholic idea in the New
World rapidly approaches. The black
Catholic and the Confederate monarchist
will in such case make common cause for
mutual deliverance, and who shall say, in
such conflict, that the Papal recognition
of the Southern Confederacy will not be re-
allied!
In it's last analysis all forms of society
must settle finally down upon the Catholic
or Protestant idea. Underneath this strug-
gle for mastery are the hidden forces of
social life which will sooner or later assert
themselves with irresistible power. Above
the conflict is the everlasting purpose of
God. What this purpose is no human being
can tell. Divine wisdom alone eees to the
end. But our reason enables us to sppre-
he9d clearly some of the vital relations of
this conflict of ideas as these affect us sll
to-day. Among these relations We see tee
negro power of America holding q vitality
providential relation to the future of the
cause of Protestant republi can institutions
in the New World. The negro can only be
saved to Protestantism, and the South to
the Union by making the cause Of humanity
and the rights of equal citiz enship the con-
trolling issues in the fnis hing work of
Southern reconstruction. In the meanwhile
Rome looks on and bides her time. B.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:

GOA1Oh EfCbL1CAN.
Under the head of Commercial Brevi-
ties" you publish notice in regard to the
proposed increase of time in the transporta-
tlon of produce of all kinds to and from our
city by means of . tast freight line, and
also Of the intention of giving us daily
local fast freight. I may add here that
this should have been done years ago,
and that the credit of working up this plan
is mainly due to the exertions and energy
of our young friend. Mr.. A. Geale, who can
be found at No. 1873 Poydras street, and who
wishes the support Of all those interested in
the quick and cheap transportation of all per-
ishsble and other matter to and from our city.
Mr.. Geale has been engaged for some years
past in railroad and express circles, and has
now plan in contemplation in which, if he
is ably sustained and encouraged by our
merchants, leading business men and rail
road companies, will tend to decrease the
cost of goods. This plan, if sustained and
carried into effect, will increase to large
extent the revenues OF the railroad COM
psnies, and place within the reach Of all
consumers of that class of goods, such as
eggs, butter, poultry, honey, etc. All those
interested in the transportation of country
produce would do we'll to call at No. 1873
Poydras street, where they will learn some
thing to their advantage. Large trees
from little acorns grow" and wishing to
have the credit placed upon the proper
shoulders, have sent you this oommunica-
tlon, with the request that you kindly give
it room in the columns of your valuable
paper, as such projects should be encour-
aged by our press. A SUBSCRIBER.
