MrMPHIs, Tenn, Aug. G.-The July
cotton report for the Memphis district,
embracing West Tennessee, North Mis-
sissippi, North Arkansas and North
Alabama, to be issued tomorrow by
Hill, Fontaine K Co., will say:
Taking this district as whole there is
improvement to be noted in the grow
ing cotton crop. This is particularly
noticeable in Arkansas and Tennessee.
In these two States the weather has
been most seasontblo and the plant,
although somewhat smaller and later
than usual, is healthy and growing rap
idly.
In Alabama and Mississippi too much
wet W Gather has prevailed and the crop
in those sections is still from two to four
weeks late.
Disastrous rains are reported from
sever counties in Northern and East
ern Mississippi, which is overlooked as
to the cotton lands, causing
serious damage TO both cotton and corn.
1t also caused the abandonment OF some
lands in both of those States which, ow-
ing to continued wet weather, was inn
possible to cultivate.
The critical period has now been
reached, and it Is safe to predict that,
with favorable season from
now on, the yield of cotton
in this district Will exceed that of last
year. An early frost would, however,
curtail the yield materially.

SHARON-S TROUBLES.

The APAEAL to-day gives consid-
cradle space to q correspondence
which gives more of the inside Of
the Sharon-Hiil contest than has
yet been given the public. The
writer pulls aside the curtain and
shows some of the skeletons which
are harbored in the mansions of
the wealthy. None of the San
Francisco papers have spoken so
much by the card, ard none have
so carefully shown the workings Of
the wheels within the wheels in
this famous litigation. The repu-
tation of the litegants is no longer
aquestion and issue. It is simply
en- unseemly scramble for the
spoils of vast estate, which must
soon be decided. Usually the
fight for inheritance begins after
the dead is cold, but in this case
the schemers are at work before
even the funeral invitations are out.
Young Sharon and New!aads are
egging on a fight in the case to save
the estate for themselves, but after
Col. Barnes, Counselor Evans and
Detective Lees divide up what is
left after Miss Hill gets her YER
dict, we imagine that Sharon junior
and Frank Newlands will have
very slim margin to go On.

THE MODERN DANCE.

A communication to the APPEAL
relative to dancing has stirred up g
number of letter writer's who favo,
the dance. We print the pros and
cons of the subject, but with nc
idea that anybody will be the bet
ter, the worse or the wiser after the
discussion is over. There is bad
dancing and dancing which is per-
fectly harmless. A quiet hop in
Carson where young ladies and
gentlemen meet for an evenings
recreation is no more harmful than
a picnic excursion or . sleighing
party. There is a great deal of diff
ference between q dance of this de-
scription and masked ball at Hor-
tieultural Hall in San Francisco,
Madison Square carnival in New
York or q Partisan can can. Peo-
can attend social dances. enjoy the
pleasure of them ard retura home
none the worse morally and
just as we'll qualified to min
lister to the sick next day,
attend church and dispense char
ity to the poor. Making night
of it with disreputable characters,
and being taken home in wheel
barrow at 6 in the morning is an
other thing. People who do not
wish to dance, and people who are
never invited can cry out against
it. But it will not in the slightest
degree change the custom, and
women as good, and as pure. and
as refined as ever drew breath, will
dance as often as they please, and
send their daughters to schoo
where the art is taught, in spite of
all preaching and argument. If
David, who was q man after Gods
own heart, danced before his
Maker unreproved, the rest Of us
may safely indulge in the amuse-
ment-if we know how.
