Total crop ,O73 531 2,4O0, ,423 1897
Of the new crop and its marketing, the
Chronicle says:
With regard to the crop which has just
begun to reach the ports, it is too early yet,
even if we were disposed, to give any definite
estimate. The Agricultural Bureau reports
indicate up to this date condition promising
less yield than the present year. There is,
however, a large class who dissent from that
conclusion, as it is thought that the Mississip
pi Valley is pretty sure to at least make good
the losses in other sections One thing is GER
tain-for nobody questions it-and that is
that the date of the maturity Of the crop in
the various States is still (after all the sum-
mer changes) about as we indicated it was in
our acreage report of last June. 1t must be
classed as late crop, whereas the one which
has just been marketed must be classed as an
early crop. Yet the plant is by no means
every where equally late. In the Atlantic
States and in the upper portion Of the Gulf
States, the difference between the two years is
most marked. In the lower half of Alabama
there is less difference, while in portions of
Mississippi and Louisiana it is fully as for
ward as in 1878. In Texas the drought has
hastened the maturity, so that in a part of
the State the crop is probably in advance OF
last year.

The Commercial and Financial Chronicle
of New York, has completed its statement Of
the cotton crop of the United States for the
year ending September 1st, 1879, from which
it appears that the total crop for the year
reaches 5,O73,531 bales, of which 3,467 ,565
bales were exported, 1,56S,96O were con-
sumed by spinners in the United States, and a
stock of SO, ,110 bales was on hand at the close
of the year. The weight in pounds of the
cotton product is 2,4OO.423,S37, or an aver
age of 473 pounds to the bale. The crop Of
the year just closed is the largest ever pro-
duced in the United States, being 249,761 in
excess of the crop of 1S59,'6O, which was
nearest approached by the crop of 1851,
the crop that year amounting to 4,4S5,423
bales, or 33S, ,297 bales less than the crop Of
1S59-'6O.

- Alonzo B. Cornell, the Republican can
didate for Governor of New York, was born
in 1thica, Tompkins county, January %,
1882 His father, Ezra Cornell, was one of the
originators of the vast telegraph system OF
this country and founder of Cornell Univer.
sity. Young Cornell left school at fifteen.
He occupied various official positions up to
1854, when he ran for Lieutenant Governor
of New York on the Radical ticket, and was
defeated. Since then, and until last year, he
has been employed in the New York Custom
House. He is quite wealthy.
The Republican State Convention of
Maryland, assembled at Baltimore on last

the Republican party generally with regard
to the army at the polls, the Federal election
laws and the questions raised by he'last extra

out were harmonious. and resulted in the
nomination of full State ticket.
- The letter of Gen. Grant to Admiral
Ammen respecting the presidency of the
Nicaraguan Canal Company, is exciting much
comment in official circles. The most impor-
tant part of the letter, however, has not yet
been given to the public, though it has been
read by several of the more intimate friends
of the Admiral In this the General speaks
in very plain terms Of the Presidential ques'
ton. The General takes the same position
respecting this subject that he did in 1868.
He will make no effort to secure the nomina.
ton, and will only accept it if he be con.
vinced that his return to public life will serve
the loyal element or the interests of the coun.
try. He would only accept the nomination
as sense of duty, and not as matter Of de-
sire on his part.

As it is the aim of your county correspond
ents, as rule, to make reports, especially
upon the crop prospects, we have refrained
for time, hoping thereby to be able to make,
positive report; but even at this late hour.
we cannot, from the fact that the opinions of
the farmers of this section are SO widely Diff
ferent:: By some; the estimate Is q half
crop, and by others that the crop will be an,
average one. This difference Of opinion, per-
haps, can be accounted for by stating that the
cotton on some farms was injured by rust,
while on others it was not. II si .as&j
The first bale of the season was sold here,

one Of the kidnapped women as his wife, and
as such they lived together until q few years

THE THEORY OF ADVERTISING.
It is not the habit of the ENQUIRER to beg
for advertising, nor to accept propositions for
that class of work without a fair equivalent.
But while we do not constantly faunt before
our readers and the public such suggestions as
'sbest advertising medium in the South -
"circulation unequaled by any paper in the
State advertising low," and similar express
sions ad q,a,lseana, we nevertheless believe In
the efficacy of advertising, and would COM
mend to business men the rule that specified
amount, as part Of their yearly expense,
could not better be invested than by a system
of judicious advertising. OF the merchants
Of Yorkville we have no complaint to make
on this score Most of them are liberal adver-
tisers, and as prudent business men, IT it did
not pay them to advertise their business, 1t is
not presumable that they would do so. Their
liberal advertising is the best evidence that
they appreciate it's Importance But lest there
should be advertisers who do not feel that
they meet prompt return for the outlay ex-
pended, for their encouragement, and as q
hint to advertisers generally, we copy from an
exchange the following remarks on the ''the-
ory of advertising:''
Some advertisers think that because an ad-
vertisement which appears to-day is not fol-
lowed tomorrow by an appreciable increase Of
sales, the advertisement has done no good and
the theory of advertising is false. Though it
is impossible to insert notice that shall not
be read (let any person put three line card,
sWanted-a dog in the 0bscurest corner and
be convinced of this) it is not to be expected
that the moment a person casts his eye upon
an advertisers announcement he sets out for
the advertisers store. He may not at the
time need any article in the merchants line,
or he may deal with another house. But If
the representation is attractive, he will almost
inevitably, whenever he needs anything OF the
kind announced, turn to the paper where ne
saw the card and give the advertiser trial.
The merchant should regard his outlay for ad-
vertising as he would that for painting his
building or putting up sign-board-as ne
cessary charge upon the whole years business,
the effect of which is not to be perceived i'm
mediately. Men do not SOW wheat one day
and harvest it the next.
The man who has begun to advertise must
keep on advertising if he desires continual
increase in the volume of his business. He
NAV keep a steady number Of satisfied Gus
toners, but the chances are that some OF these
will be detached by seeing the advantages OF
other dealers persistently advocated. He will
certainly not attract new patrons. They Will
20 elsewhere, just as they would seek another
store than his, if, on coming to his door, they
found it locked and the shutters up.
