Doleful Account Of the Cotton Crop

DOIetuI AccOunt OF GH6 COJJOH CrUp.
NEW YORK, June IA st. Louis dispatch
says: "The accounts from the South are Of the
most dismal character, and correspondents are
unanimous in predicting failure of the cotton
crop in the Northern belt line, owing to inces-
SAINT rains ana cold nights. Whole sections of
land heretofore devoted to cotton and tobacco
have been plowed up and corn substituted.
Cotton seed, which was sold by the planters to
the oil companies last fall at the rate of SO per
ton, is now being purchased by the former for
seeding at 20 to % cents per pound. The sales
are Off cash, and as most of the planters are
without money they have no incentive to con-
tinue the cultivation of cotton, but they are
sowing corn, oats and wheat in order to obtain
supplies to carry them through tor another
wear.

"P" and Prohibition.

To the Editor of the Press:
"P," in yesterdays Argus, tried hard to
prove that he lives in rum-selling and rumt
guzzling State. Well, he ought to be ashamed
of it. He attempts to show that because that
is the case, the Republican party is not the
temperance party of the State. What has that
to do with it anyway? "P" may as we'll say
that because the world full of sin and wicked
ness, the Baptists, the Orthodox or the Metho-
dists, do not advocate the spread of the Gospel
or the regenerati ion of Man.
That the majority Of temperance men in
Maino belong to and are identified with the
Republican party no one pretends to dispute.
That the majority of Christian people belong
to and are identified with our churches is an
undoubted lact As to the success, either OF
religion or temperance, it has taken more than
eighteen centuries to christianize the world,
and it isn't accomplish yet But as that is
no argument against it, neither is 1T any argu-
ment against temperance that liquor continues
to be sold in the State after a trial OF the law
covering quarter of century.
Does ''P" expect temperance people to work
with a party who do all they can to promote
intemperance by joining hands. Protective
associations, composed OF liquor dealers and
distillers, and party which itrains every
nerve to secure the rum vote, and with whom
the rum element of our State Is openly ldenti-
fed.
Why not ask few of our solid, respectable,
God-fearing, law-abidr g, church-going citi-
zens to join a gang OF counterfeiters, or to
break into bank? Go slow, friend P; things
NAV look different to you as you become deve-
oped. We have known fresher men than you
to improve-but not often. j. .. W.

THE Houston Sun says the money paid as

Yes, but they were very useful vagabonds at
certain era Of our history.
THE Houston Sun thinks that Grants
efforts to have Fit John Porter reinstated Will
"soften the hard feelings thousands OF ms
fellow citizens have to him." Now, unless
these hard feelings" are caused by Fitz ohm
Porter's case, we contend that they are enter

unworthy the American CITIZEN.
"TUE LIGHT makes an uncalled for per-
sonal attack on the character of ohm Han
cock. [-Brenham Banner.
1t depends upon how you look at it. Han
cock IS member of congress, and an un-
blemished character and heightened qualities
are claimed for him by his tiunkles, we think
that sufficient to call forth the truth: that Han
cock has gained wealth by questionable sharp
p~actice-lhat he was convicted OF perery and
an attempt to bride senator OF the 18th leg
islatlre-that he recently secured his election
to congress by the most unblushng and I'M
scrupulous use of money,-that IN private
life he lived for twenty years social
leper; if these things are all true is it not in
the interest of decency that this mans career
be understood before his ambition is allowed
to soar any higher. Hancock made an un-
called for and untruthful and unmanly personal
attack on the editor of the LIGHT during the
campaign, and we are paying him back with
some disagreeable facts, all of which can be
substantiated.
