We're 3057 negroes and %, $3.50 whites
in the colony, One-ninth of the pop

years afterward, there were only
1852 negroes in the state, an increase
of 800, or less than 80 per cent in a
century and a quarter, while the
whites had, during the same period,
increased to 17O,649. The negroes,
who had constituted one-ninth of
the population, were reduced to one

39l2 negroes in Rhode Island; in

Tne Cotton Crop.

The report Of the National,
Cotton Exchange presents u very
favorable showing of the condi-
ton of the cotton crop through
out the South. In the Mississip-
pi Valley the situation is very
satisfactory and in strong con-
trast with the situation last year.
All things considered, the
Southern planter has no reason
to complain of his luck this
spring or his prospects ut the
present time. There are mary
contingencies, of course. to be
pissed before there can he al as
surance of II large crop. The
weather for the next three
months may change the situation
and the yield is largely depend
ent upon the character of tho
picking season. But it is enough
that the crop has been pitched
well and is now in good state of
cultivation with fewer drawbacks
than for several years to give
more confidence and justify con-
graduation.
The last two seasons have been
unpropitious, and small crops
have been made, and on the law
of average it is time for a change
in the programme. The staple is
bringing II very good price. and a
considerable part of the worlds
previously accumulated surplus
stocks have been consumed, so
that u large production now will
not demoralizc the trade and IN
ducc abnormal deprcssion.-N.

their praise of the public school OF

accord admit chat it exceeds any il,

be granted to Prof. Preston, its

position 1t now occupies as an insti.
tute of learning. Elect Prof Pres

man that Mississippi now needs to

none who would better meet the
requirements than Prof. Preston,

greatly rejoice ut an opportunity oil

The party has never drawn check
on Col. Hooker that he did not

and deserves any honor that can
be conferred upon him by the PEG
ple of this State for in honoring

in the COplahan, but having ascer.
tanned that he would not, / No
will. You know that "U. No" don't
know what he ought to know; and
that il, that democracy will not
join with prohibition, for wherever
and whenever this was done dem.

States Senate by the Legislature of
Illinois. Will DR.. Ro van tell us
why a democratic county sent re.
publican to the Illinois Legislature
so that Logan could be elected 1t
was democracy imbibing the un.
tasted spirit of prohibition.
The antl.prohibitionlsts have as
good leaders as any party in Copl.
an ever had, for Instance. Park
Ware, the merchant prince. He
would probably not desire to enter
the political arena, but If he could
be prevailed upon he would make

Why They Oppose Lowry.

There are some papers in the
State which are friendly to Lowry,
but oppose him because four years
is long enough for any ono to
hold the Office. They would object
to any other man just the SAME.
Among the number is tile Water
Valley Progress which says:
The Progress does not oppose the
denomination of Gov. Lowry per SC
but it is opposed to q second term
Of four years. Four years is long
enough for any one to hold the
Office of governor. The precedent
of re-electing him for another term
of four years would be q bad one.
1t is virtually making the gubcrna.
torial term eight years, If then
eight, why not. twelve and THUS
al IN fnitMm as there is no consti.
tutional limit. 1t IL q dangerous
experiment, for this reason we OPP
pose Gov. Lowry's denomination.
