THE COTTON CROP.

Bradstreet's Journal of last Saturday pub
fishes the result of inquiries respecting the
cotton crop. The items as given have been
calculated by some of our exchanges to
point to a crop of 4, 100000 to 100000 bales
This, of course, cannot be expected, al
though popular ideas of a deficiency OF 30 to
50 per cent. have been started and repeated
over and over again until people, strange to
saw, are found to believe in such an enor-
NOUS crop. The possibility of a very small
crop cannot be denied, but the probability
runs in a contrary direction as shown on the
Goth of September. Experience teaches that
estimates at this period always fall short OF
the result, and as pointed out on August
II, the crop of 1873! and 1882, which had to
contend with an unprecedented severe
drought that extended over all the cotton
States, and followed the largest crop ever
known, at that time was l7t per cent. small
er than the preceding one, namely, 5,456, ,OOG
bales, against G,000,000 bales.
Neither should it be forgotten that the
acreage planted is five per cent. larger than
in 1882. Planting large acreage and using
a larger quantity of manure, might have
produced crop still exceeding the last. 1t
is to be looked upon as a blessing that nature
has frustrated these efforts, for otherwise
with the large stocks of the raw and manu-
factured article and the stagnation in Lam
cashirc, the value of cotton would, without
doubt, have been greatly deprecated. Now
Liverpool will have arrived at the lowest
point, say middling upland at SD, equal tc
10 cents for New York shipments, without
deducting commissions, and gradual adj
vance may be expected, although it may be
deferred

I tell you that in my district alone, there is

The result of the Commission in other
portions of the State has been about the
same as the above, though from points more
distant from New York than Yorkville the
through rates to New York are even lower
than from this place, and less ''equitable''
than when the railroads managed their own
affairs without the aid Of Commission.
From Abbeville, for instance, the through
rate to New York on first class freight was
last year S1.4O; under the new tariff issued
by the railroads last week it is Sl.G1, being
an increase of 81 cents, and so on with each
class of freight, though the increase from
Yorkville, 100 miles nearer, on the same
class is 26 cents.
With but two or three exceptions, the
press throughout the State makes complaint
similar to the points above cited, from
which we must conclude that the railroad
commission has proved itself a most eyre
gious failure in attempting to secure 'sjust
and reasonable rates" for the people.

DEATH OF A MORMON MISSIONARY.
The Charlotte Journal Observer notes the
death at Whitaker Station, in this county,
on Thursday last, of Charles +. Robason, a
Mormon missionary. The Joannal- Ob$er-
Ger says: "The golden cord that bound him
to the earth was severed at half past one
o'clock, and his immortal spirit was carried
| to Abraham's BOSOM The deceased was a
Mormon divine, sent some time ago from
Southern Idaho to the country surrounding
Rock Hill, South Carolina, to make con-
verts to the Mormon faith. What has been
the reward of his labors we are unable to
say, except that he contracted malarial fe-
yer from which he died. We suppose his
death is attributable to his treatment. Ac-
cording to the statement of Mormon con-
vert, physician is not recognized in their
midst. The elders are their great physi-
cians;' they annoint with oil and it cures
any disease, no matter how malignant. For
their amounting purposes they use olive oil,
and in the case of this unfortunate mission
ary it proved worthless. Our informant
says that he does not think the MOrmons
are making many converts in that vicinity,
although there are half-dozen or more
saints laboring necessarily within one and
two miles of Whitaker"

CONGRESSMAN MACKEY INTERVIEWED.
A recently reported interview in Washing.
ton with Congressman f. w. NJ. Mackey,
of South Carolina, represents him as having
spoken as follows:
"Arthur is the choice of the Southern Re-
publicans. He is more generally spoken OF
for the nomination than any other candi-
date"
"Will he carry any Southern State?"
"Did you ever know Republican nomi'
nee to carry Southern State with the in
famous counting laws they have there:
We can never have an honest count as long
as those laws are permitted to exist"
"What would you have?"
81 would have the Northern Republicans
devote more of their attention to affairs in
the South. Then, perhaps, we would have
some prospect of success"
"Do not your supervisors protect you"'
"Only on a Presidential election, and then
with very meagre results. In Edgetield
county you cannot find a man who will
take the risk which involves service as a
supervisor. There is too much danger OF
being shot down. Northern people have
no idea Of the outrages perpetrated in the
South They can scarcely imagine it when

OUR RAILROAD COAC1IES.-Ihe travel
ing public in this State, it appears, 90 not
relish the idea of being thrown pell NELL
into railroad car with what used to be
the occupants of second class coaches, found
on all trains prior to the creation of our
Railroad Commission. 1t is well known
that everything which might be considered
disagreeable to all lady passengers was gen
orally screened by these second class coaches,
but which will now be distributed through
out the train. TO say nothing of the civil
rights part of it, it does not show the proper
consideration for the delicate and refined
tastes of lady passengers. The law is de-.
fective-the programme Wrong.-Bo""Ve0

TIE PUBLIC SCIIooIS.-The public school
question is agitating the State somewhat.
4 small minority with many silent sympa-
thizers come out boldly against free schools
supported by taxation. These generally
belong to the educated class. We hope that
the only effect Of their opposition Will be to
stimulate school officers to more strenuous
efforts to educate the mass of children. The
first duty of the governments sto protect the
life and property of her citizens. The sec
ond, and equally important, is to see that
all the children are taught to read and
write This makes life decent and respec-
table. There is no danger of our people get
ting too much book learning. The danger
is in the other irection.-GT0iina spartan.

- Kittie, the seven months old orangou-
tang of the Dime Museum, Philadelphia,
died last week. A post mOrtem eXamina-
ton by Professor Chapman, of Jefferson
Medical College, disclosed quite deep abb
scess on the sides and under the surface OF
the tongue, which had caused death. The
heart and lungs were perfectly healthy,
resembling those of child, as did the brain,
which was large and well developed. Pro
fessor Thompson will make use of the brain
in his lecture to the students on Friday
next, tracing it's resemblance to that of a

- Mr.. Joseph Medill, publisher of the
Chicago Tribune, was q witness in New
York, Wednesday, before the United States
senate subcommittee on labor and educa-
ton. The chief cause of the impecunious
condition of the masses of the laborers IN

improvidence. The only way to improve
them was to teach them to save. Too much
of the earnings of labor were spent in liquor i! OF
and tobacco. 1t had been calculated that
the amount annually spent by the laborlng
population in drink was $4O0, 900, and at
least $200,000,000 more was spent in cigars,
tobacco and useless amuSements.
