THE COTTON CROP.

Sa1Q,'
THE COTTON CROP.
sThe fields of the eastern Carolinas
were white with cotton bolls, and the
picking of the crop had commenced.
Most Of it was upland cotton; it grows
about z. feet high. We saw no Sea Is
land cotton, our route lying too far in
land; but wo saw on the poorer lands
a good deal of what they call 'bumble
bee cotton" which grows about 10 inches
high"
1t was about this kind of cotton that a
Southern Congressman told q Northern
member, who inquired the derivation Of
the namo: "Why you see, 1t is 80 called
because humble bee can sit on the
ground, and, by simply turning around,
suck the honey out Of all the blossoms on
plant without moving from his place"
HOW ABOUT THE CENSUS?
II inquired about the consus returns
in every place was in. They told me
that the census Of 1870 was taken by
United States Marshals and their depu-
ties who were many Of them utterly un-
fitted for the work. At least one-half
of these deputies who took that census,
thcy assured me, could not write. The
present census was taken by competent
men. This accounts for a portion Of the
alleged fraudulent increase in the returns.
But the real increase in the population
has also been very great I never saw
so many children in my life; large fami-
lies of them playing around nearly every
farm house, and unusual numbers in the
streets of the towns and villages. There
seemed to be peculiar fecundity every
Where we went But the greater part of
the increase apparent of the census re-
turns, was told everywhere, was, ow-
ing to the ignorance and incompetency
of the deputy marshals who did not half
take the census Of 1870"
THE GOOD TIME COMING.
'"rho present cotton crop promises to be
25 per cent. ahead o'any former crop, and
one planter told me that two or three
more crops like it would repay him
for all the losses of the war, slaves
and everything. Many expressed the
opinion that slavery was never
paying institution, and they could got
along better with free labor, if they
could only get hands enough. There
is scarcity Of labor, and white laborerl
are particularly wanted. 1t used to be
said that a white man could not work In
the cotton field, but that is all nonsense
1.-THE country is being improved by the
cutting up of some plantations into
smaller tracts, by renting 40 acre patches
out to these negroes to till for themselves
By this means the land is better titled
and yields moro per acre than the large
tracts did in the days of slavery. In tht
Western part Of North Carolina we tray
eled through fine farming country
where cotton gives way to corn and Other
cereals"

A Warning to Coal Buyers.

The Journal learns that portion Of the coal
stored inithe> University coal house has taken
fire, caused by spontaneous combustion. a
force Of wOrkmen have been engaged for three
days in .shOveling the surface coal away so as to
reach the burning portion and further damage
wilt probably be avoided. 1t is said that the
fire originated in a couple Of car loads Of coal
that had been exposed to the rain before being
stored. If such is the case orr citizens would
do we'll not only to exercise a wise prccaution
In buying coal, but also that il is not placed
where fire would be Of any damage. The new
coal house is built Of stone and corrugated iron
and no possible damage can occur to it. The
only annoyance arises from the escaping gas
which causes a slight inconvenience to the
workmen around the engines. The University
authorities may congratulate themselves that
both the engines aud coal are removed from the
main building, since it les sens the danger from
fire to- a.great degree and thus saves any fears
that the EmpQria disaster will he repeated here.

From the returns now IN, it appears
probable that the majority for the pro-
hibition, amendment will be about
$500. It: seems that about 10000 did
net vote on the matter at all, but it is
safe to assume that they were at least
not opposed to its adoption. The ma
jority for it in towns and cities, is
larger than was expected. Indeed the
general belief was that they would go
against it, but instead, large majori-
ty went for it. But the vote in the
country was a disappointment to its
friends who had been led to believe
that "the country is almOstisOlid for
it." In fact, larger proportion of the
country people voted against it than of
the town people. The probable reason
is that the subject wasswell discussed
in the towns, but the country districts
were usually neglected.

Senator P. b. Plumb didroyal work
in the late campaign in this State,
having made speeches in nearly every
county. That he has made hosts of
friends all over :tha State is apparent
to anyone The Paola Spirit one of
the ablest among rthe many papers
who have given the Senator flattering
notices this fall has the following,
which we heartily endorse: "Col.
Plumb seems to have taken wonder
fully well in all parts of the State dur
ing the present canvass. He has the
knack of getting. right down into the
hearts ofthe common people. There
is no CANNON about Plumb-he is too
hard-headed andapractical to play the
"royal duke" role practiced by some
ef.our. politicians. He makes no pre-
tentions and is not snowy or splurgy,
and yet he is.sharper than lightning,
TO- use slang expression; unquestion-
ably the ablest politician in Kansas,
and the best and clearest headed legis-
latorrwe ever sent to Washingtons
His energy and industry are the tire
less.motors of one of the braniestheads
in the Nation. No man in tina u: S.
Senate can or will work like Plumb

as WELLS his bOnAoDlie manners and
readiness to appreciate. and enter into
the aspirations and.ambitions OF all
with whom he ceRses in sentact. That
is why his political work has been
effective. He deserves all the praises
that have been .showered upon him
by the press.'
