We can remember no time since the
war when cotton picking was so uni
verssl as at the present time. Gentle
men travelling over the country say
that during the day it is hard to find
anyone in farmers house, every mem

the heecy staple. Farmers have suf-
fered as much as any other class by
the stringent times OF the past four
years and now that they have made
the best crop of cotton since the war
they seem determined, if possible. to
save every pound OF it. Merchants
who have anticipated liVelier trade
this month than they have realized
should not set it down as bad sign.
The best indication we have that
the fall and winter trade will be
good this year, at least better than
we have had for several seasons past,
is that things are now lively in the
cotton patch and dull everywhere else.
The longer this state Of affairs can con
tiuue, the more money there win be in
the country after awhile, and the more
money there is in the country the
greater the general prosperity to fol-
low. CouAtry stores, We understand,
are now doing better than stores in
town. This arises from the fact that
farmers are not taking time to come To
town, but are buying just such things
as they need at the nearest place at
hand. Let no one complain or get de-
moralized because there are so few farm
ers coming to town. They will come af-
ter awhile, and when they do they will
have money to buy the necessaries OF
life, implements, wagons dry goods,
clothing, hardware, lumber, etc.

CANDIDATES for county Offices nomi-
mated by Democratic conventions are
Democrats, and are running as Demo-
Gratis, and will be elected or defeated
as such, and, II elected, will serve as
such. They are in the habit of saying
that they seek non political positions
and that they are, of course, nice
comparison candidates. This would
be we'll enough if they had not gone
into Democratic conventions to secure
Offices and honors. But with what
justice can they dodge the party to
WIN Radical or Greenback votes when
they demorsliza, by this means, the
party which supports Hancock. Han
cock plays q fair, honest, fearless game.
He is Democrat straight and deals
in no nonsense and Hancock suffers
beceuse of this tlmidity of those whose
first duty it is to see that Hancock is
elected. But each proposes to take
care of himself even if it cost US the
defeat of Hanc rex. This policy of
these candidates cannot we'll be
tolerated. They must fight for them
selves, but as we'll for the party and for
its local leader, and this partial treason
can hardly be endured. 1t is not nee
essary for any of them to say they seek
non political positions, and, therefore,
have nothing to say of Federal politics.
They we're nominated as enemies of fiat
money and Kearneyism, and must
make the fight on this issue, or Dem
ocrst will feel at liberty to vote, at
least, for an independent candidate.
Let MS have plain sailing, q far fight
and no more lodging.

CoLoRED men engaged in picking
cotton, who came in on Saturday, re-
ported that the yield of cotton this
season is much larger than it has been
any year since the war. O1e old man
said that the crop could not possibly
be picked out before Christmas, and
tina. on three farms on which he had
picked, for the last Cwo seasons, the yield
this season would double that of either
of the others. Colored people engaged
in picking no doubt speak of the cot
ton crop just as they think, without al
lowing their opinions to be warped by
self interest. The demand for pickers
is still very great, and several wagon
lrads OF people, men, women and
children, went out yesterday
to Join the hundreds who have left the
city before to pick cotton. A white man
stated on Saturday that he had little
boy not six years old who was making
so cents day picking cotton and that
in almost every field men, women and
children, white and black, could be
seen working together, gathering the
feecy staple. Some fields, he SAID,
mad not yet been touched, and al
though all the available force seemed
to be at work, yet there was demand
for double the amount of help at hand.
With continued favorable weather for
picking, no destructive storms and
reasonably late frost, the crop in this
section will be not less than two-thirds
of bale to the acre.

Two NOTED GRAVE ROBBERS.

Our readers will remember the ac-
count given in these columns of the
robbing of the grave of the Hon. Scott
Harrison, in Ohio, Last May, the body
beng found in the dissectlng room OF
the Ohio Medical College. Public in
dignstion justly brands any man as a
scoundrel who will rob the grave of
the dead. But there are two noted
grave robbers in the country, so far
from being the subjects of the peoples
wrath, are universally lauded for
their virtues. The reason is plain.
While the former class steal the dead
bodies of our loved ones to submit
them to the dissectiDg knife, these
only rob the graves to restore the liV-
ing victims to our hearts and homes.
Their names-Dr. PIerce's Golden Med
ical Discovery and Pleasant Purgative
Pellets-are household words the world
over. The Golden Medical Discovery
cures consumption, In its early stages,
and all bronchial, throat and lung af-
fections; Pleasant and Pdrgative Pei
