Crops are not so good as was supposed
cotton, particularly, having shed off much
fruit from the lower limbs. The cotton
worms are webbed up abou; in places, and
in few days the second crop will appear
to depredate upon the cotton, butt is to be
hoped, from their spaceness now, they
will not cause much loss; and, by the time
the third generation make their appear
ancc, The cotton viii be so we'll matured as
not to be seriously effected by them.
Everybody is busy picking cotton, and,
from the present outlook, we anticipate a
fair price to compensate the planter for the
labor and anxiety of mind bestowed upon
its production.
The Long Point club had a meeting on
Saturday and elected delegates to the coun-
ty and beat conventions.
While agree with "Soribbler" as to the
necessity of conventions, regret to say,
from my observations, they are not con-
Quoted in as fair, honest and equitable 4
manner as in days of yore. Too much dis
position on the part of some to boss them !;
and most generally they are run in the in
terest of weak aspirants, not at all subserv-
ing the wishes of the majority. Even in
primary meetings to select delegates, lists
are made out, handed around and suffi-
Gent number drummed up to secure the
appointment of said list, who are all known
beforehand to be in the interest of certain
aspirants for position, regardless of their
qualifications for Office or acceptance with
a majority of the people. These facts star
ing us in the face, with the great number
of office-seekers abroad, creates much fear
as to the action of our county convention to
assemble on the 9TH of September. Aspi-
rants from every portion Of the county be-
ing in the field with their welded friends
as delegates, much wrangling and confusion
may De expected. 'f-iiis. ifpossiole, Should
be avoided, and will suggest, for the con-
sideration of delegates, plan by which
harmony and unity may be produced.
Form committee of conference by select
ing from each beat delegation one or more
well informed, discreet, impati members,
to whom shall be referred the names of all
candidates for each and every Office, and
who, after a full, free and honest canvass Of
their merits land no candidate should be
considered meritorious who is not fully
competenU and strength of the names sub
mitted to them, should report the proper
ones to the convention for ratification as the
candidates. And, should said committee,
after passing upon the names submitted for
any one Office find them all too weak or
incompetent, let them drop the entire list
and select other strong and efficient men for
the position.
The condition Of our county is such,
that if we wish to free ourselves from the
Senegambian rule that has so long fettered
our people, We must be willing to make
sacrifices Of friends and adhere tomeasures
of the old time honored Democratic senti-
ment.
Bring out our best men, as it will be bet
ter for US to have competent men defeated
than to put incompetent ones in Office.

KIDNAPPING The swine
hunters have kidnapped nearly
all the hogs, shoats and pigs in
the business portion of town
and a good many in the more
remote portions. Only seven
or eight were captured on Fri
day. One tall thin razor-back-
ed hog is out yet, but he is fleet
footed and can slip through the
opening in paling fence. A
special reward of two bits is Of
fered for his apprehension and
delivery at the pound.

account for the milk in the

RUNAwAY.-In this section of
the country we are blessed with
gentle horses; many Of them.
especially Texas horses, not
having sufficient energy to run
away. On Tuesday fine team
belonging to a Bohemian ran
away, on Sandy street with the
fore wheels of wagon. A wa
gon standing on Sandy street
had one fore wheel knocked
off. The horses continued on
their run, knocking down a por-
ton of the awning at Zeits' cor
ner, near the depot, and finally
stopping at the corner of Quit
man and St. Charles streets.
The owner will have small bill
of damages to pay. This is the
first runaway we have had for a
couple of months or more.
