The Cotton Area,

George B. Loring, United States
Commissioner of Agriculture, deliv
cred an interesting address at the
Atlanta Exposition last Wednesday,
in which he said:
"The cotton area in 1879 was ii 462, =
439 acres; the area Of the ten cotton
States is 456, 900, 900 acres. The cotton
crop is not evenly distributed in these
States; it is almost unknown
in the whole mountain sys.
TEN Of the South, on the slopes,
as we'll as SUBMITS and broad table
lands Of high elevation, which are
suited only to products of a high tenn
perate latitude-mixed farming, grain
growing and orcharding; it is grown
mainly on the limestone belt Of South
western Georgia, Central Alabama and
Western Mississippi, and in enc or
two other sections. In general terms,
one-tenth Of the counties yielding
cotton produce half of taat crop. The
largest average yield per acre, accord
ing to the census, diseloses local belts
Of greatest productiyeness, as follows.
The richest cotton land in the State is
on the Mississippi above and opposite
Yicksburg. The highest county aver
ages in three States prove the superi.
ority OF this distriet-East Carroll, il
Louisiana, Chicot, in Arkansaw, anl
Washington, in Mississippi. These
respectively, stand for the largest ratl
Of production in these States. Thi
cotton belt yielded in 1879 but littl
less than a bale per acre.

One can only infer from the growth of
the Ohauviniet sentiment, which has
coalused the discussion of the canal
question as to Peru. 1t is not wholly,
perhaps, matter of sentiment. 1t is
true Blaine has resigned, and Ameri-
cans will have no longer to admire the
glowing periods on which he has
maintained the pretensions of his
country, but American diplomacy is
uniform. 1t will be much the same

Nashville World: The guilt or in
nocence Of the Senators charged will
have no influence whatever on the
settlement, though we believe that one
Senator has said that it it turns out
that the law was the result of bribery,
he would be in favor of wiping it out
Of existence, although he had sup
ported the bill. The law will stand as
the law of the State. no matter what
may be the result ofthis investigation
II it is not declared unconstitutional
by the Supreme Court, it will
unquestionably be repealed, or at least
made imperative by the next Legisla-
ture. The committee is charged with
an important duty. 1t is not so much
question as to whether the 100 3
measure shall stand, as whethtr, when
the people elect agents to transact i'm
portant business and make laws by
which they shall be governed, they
shall be held strictly to account for a
faithful performance of their duties,
and not be influenced by corrupt mo-
tives to depart the plain line Of duty.

MEMPHIS has scored another tri.
umph in the success of Milburn's 5
Eclipse hulljug gin at Atlanta over all
others. This should be an incentive
to many Of our business men and CAPT.
talists to engage in manufacturing
enterprises. There were over
twenty competitors for this prize,
one or two, however, seeing they had
no chance, withdrew. The feeling
ran very high, and the gin contest
really attracted more attention among
people interested in cotton than any
thing else on the grounds. A set of
rules had been adopted, which some
Of the gin manufacturers sought to
turn against the Eclipse. Mr..
Milburn himself was on the
ground with Captain McDermolt to
supervise the running ofthc gin and
to watch every point, This gin seemed
to win the greatest favor, but a tech
meal construction of the rules and
conditions of running seemed to be
rather against the Eclipse. When the
LEDGER's representative left Atlanta
Saturday morning it seemed very
doubtful whether the Milburn
gin would be awarded the
prize but it was, aud Memphis tri,
umphs over tho best work that can b1
turned out in Massachusetts,. Verify

manufacturing centers of New
England are not transferred to the
South, VIC may at least expect to sec
their duplicates in an improved form

HIS EXPERIENCE.
How Little Interest Business Men
Take in Politics.

"Haye you noticed that there is
very little political gabble outside of
the office seeking and Office holding
few?" remarked a knowing one this
morning, and then went on: at seems
to me more interest would be mani
tested in race like the one approach

"Why?" was asked,
Because it is not like an ordinary
municipal election"
How does it difer?"
well, you see Memphis is begin
ming to be hopeful again. She has cast
of the garments of gloom, and it is
evident the old scaly skin has fallen
off and a new one forming. This new
growth is tender and easily
injured. What Memphis wants
is a good, sound government
and as little chronic Office holding
talent as possible in the management
of affairs"
"You havn't any ticket to suggest

"Oh. no. am not talking for my
friends, but simply trying to show that
if there is any time when the solid
business men of the community
ought to meddle in politics it is now.
What has been the result of your
experience as to the inter-meddling of
business men in politics?"
Il have never seen them take much
interest, except in the late race for
Sheriff. Then they worked nobly and
to purpose"
Something quite unusual, then?"
"Yes, as a rule, the very men who
would be benefited by good govern
ment, that is the property holders,
take no part in elections, though they
always see their error and wish they
had after the election is over, and
property perhaps goes down on account
Of a corrupt administration"

sIIsSTsSIPPI AT ATLANTA.


More than six hundred Mississip.
plans visited the Atlanta Exposition
last week. They made fine impres.
sion, and were most cordially well
coined. OF the number about fifty
were members Of the press, who were
distinguished by badges furnished by
the Exposition Committee. Major
r. Walpole, of the Yazoo Herald,
President of tho Mississippi Press
Association arranged for the excursion
and conducted it admirably. A mum
Der Of accomplished lady journalists
accompanied their brethren Of the
press. They constituted altogether as
intelligent and handsome body Of
people as has been seen thus far at the
Exposition. 1t was noticeable fact
that none Of the ordinary dead
head hangers-on were in the party.
Unfortunately for the good name
OF the press, sometimes few such
characters, who have no responsible
connection with any paper, manage to
ring in on public occasions and make a
ridiculous display of stupidity aud
impudence. None of this class ac.
companicd the Mississippi editors.
They manifested good breeding, edu-
cation and respsctability in every
action. Mississippi may well be proud
OF her editors and representatives at
large who spent most of last week at
Atlantis. Besides Major Walpole,
there were two other Mississippians
conspicuous by reason of their posi-
tions and great work on behalf OF
Southern development: Hon. Frank G.
Morehead, President of the National
Cotton Planters Association, and Col.
Ed Richardson, the wealth.est cotton
planter and one of the largest manu-
facturers in the South. Mr.. Morehead
delivered an address in the hall OF the
House of Representatives Tuesday
night Of last week, which was admir-
able in tone and valuable Tor its pre.
of facts. 1t should be cad
by every planter, large or small, in the
South. 1t will arpeqr 10 the Cotton
Planters Joaynal. which he publishes
at Vicksburg, and tbe Cotton Plant
ers' Association ordered 10000 extra
copies printed for general distribution.
Colonel Ed, Richardson has a fine ex-
hi6it OF the cotton and wooden goods,
which ho manufactures on a large
scale at tho Wesson Mills. The goods
arc equal, if not superior, to anything
made at the East, and will outsell
Northern goods in any market. These
mills are usually several months be-
hind on orders. Northern people
look at this display with blank sur
prise, and the more thoughtful manu-
lacturors give an ominous shake Of the
heard. They are thinking Of the
time when there will be hundreds of
such mills at the South. Georgia
may have led off in manufacturing
but Mississippians felt that their State
was not far behind save in the matter
of holding the biggest Exposition the
South ever saw, and came home in
'pired with determination to make
bold push for the front. Who knows
but the next Exposition of this kind
may be held at Vicksburg? We are
Ior Memphis first, say two years hence
when we will have the Kansas City
md some other railroads, but would
be for Vicksburg as the next best
location.

One Of the greatest drawbacks to
the efficiency of the police force is TO
be compelled to wait on the Grand
Jury and Criminal Court several times
week, often several hours each time.
During these periods Of course their
beats are neglected. At times one
summons includes nearly half the
force. The men lose sleep and the
city loses the benefit of their presence.
The officers seem to be oblivious Of all
this.

Clearinghouse Report.
The Discontinued Mail Routes.

NlcEthurg commercial
We learn that strenuous efforts are
now being made by our Senators and
Representatives to have the river mail
routes on the Sunfower, Yazoo and
Tallahatchie restored. This is a con-
summation devoutly to be wished, as
the sudden and unadvised suspension
of these mails has implicated, for
many months, incalculoble hardships
upon the people of our river counties,
upon our merchants here, and upon
the business interests OF this entire
section Of country.
