A Big Cotton Crop.

New ORLEANS, August THE July
report of the National Cotton Exchange
says of the cotton crop: "The weather
conditions during July over the whole
belt have been very favorable to the
growth and development of the plant
such as were needed, whereas last year
they were abnormal. Then drought in
Texas and excessive rains in Alabama
and the Atlantic States put the plant in
very critical condition, requiring the
most favorable circumstances to maintain
its healthfulness. This year there was
no extreme in any State and the condi.
tons were as rule alike favorable to
bottom lands and uplands. Cultivation
has been pushed and crops have been
laid by in good trim, with very little loss
to the stand in cutting out grass. The
plant has grown rapidly and has main
tanned almost perfect health except in
some localities, and as a rule the back.

ON WHICH s1DEg

Our contemporary, the Anderson Jour
nal has for some time past been publish
ing extracts upon the working of the
prohibition law, most of which have
tended to show that the law does not
work we'll, but until last week it has not
contained any editorial upon the subject,
as far as we remember, since the present
AGITATION arose. Last week it says:
The subject of prohibition may be said
to be a live question in Anderson county,
for the matter is frequently brought up lor

every day. The public speeches, and for
that matter the newspaper writings, are
almost without exception al! on one slde

matter. dwell upon the evils consequent

picture happy state of affairs that IS emi-
nently desirable, and urge prohibltion as
reariy,m means to bring about that state OF
affairs. Many do not coincide with the

With the liquor traffic, but on the ground
that strict regulation is more practical and
therefore more satisfactory than attempted

nal will in the future, as in the past, give
publicity to matters of fact and argument
weighing on both sides, but if prohibition
is adopted it sincerely hopes to see those
who vote for it strive toScarry it out.
From these remarks our contempora-
ry's views upon this important subject
are not very clear. In fact, it may be
read either as very mild end timid en-
dorsement of the prohibition movement,
or it may be taken as timorous effort in
tho direction Of fantagonizing prohibitions
or yet again it may appear to be a skillful
exhibition of fence>riding on the subject.
The INTELht1ENcER is strongly in favor
of prohibition. We believe the people
want it and that they ought to have it.
We think it will do our County D great
deal of good, and we feel that It is our
duty as conscientious and candid
journalist to advocate its adoption. We
would like to have the aid of our con-
temporary in bringing it about, and if
we are to have its opposition we would
like 10 know it. The people would like
to know also. Therefore, we would like
for, our contemporary to elucidate its
views on prohibition little more clearly
by saying whether it favors or opposes
prohibition. We know that ne cannot
compel Our contemporary to take posi-
tion on this or any other subject, but we
wish to call its attention to what appears
to be a piece of fence.riding, in order
that it may show its independence by
declaring its true place in The pending
contest. Does the Journal favor or
oppose prohibition?

 Held I'm This City Yesterday-Busi-
 ness Transacted.
 President J. A. Sperry presided at the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Derby railroad held in Good Samaritan hall yesterday morning. Mayor George F. Hol- comb, Herrick P. Frost and N. D. Sperry were chosen a committee to present a list of names for directors for the coming year. They retired and presently presented the names of the present board of directors, as follows: J, A. Sperry, Isaac Anderson, N. D. Sperry, M. F. Tyler, H. P. Frost, John P. Futile, Charles L. English, New Haven; William E. Downes, Birmingham; Thomas Wallace, Franklin Farrell George P. Cowles, Ansonia; Charles Atwater, New Haven; R. M. Bassett, Birmingham. These were elect ed, nine votes being cast for Edward N Shelton, of Ansonia.
 William E. Downes, of Derby, read the act of the General Assembly, passed at the January session in 1885, authorizing the company to issue bonds in renewal of it's first mortgage bonds, which mature in 1888, and also read resolution ratifying such act and empowering the directors to proceed in the matter. A stock vote was required and taken by ballot, the vote being unanimous for ratification, 2,224 shares being repre- sented.
 While the matter was pending MT. Shelton inquired whether, when the first mortgage bonds should mature, the mortgage held by the oity would not become the first mortgage and the bonds now to be issued the second mortgage He was informed that all would be explained later. Nothing further was said concerning it in the meeting, but the president explained to the reporters that the difficulty would be overcome when the bonds were ready for issue by having the city Felinquish it's rights for few mo, ments, remove the other mortgage from the records temporarily and allow the new mort gage to take priority. The bonds maturing are $500, 900 seven per cents. Authority has been given to replace them with six per cents. to run tbirty years. There is some hope of floating the bonds at five per cent.
 T. Atwater Barnes favored a renewal of the negotiations for compromise of the debt due the city, and the following vote of fered by him was unanimously adopted:
 Voted, That the directors of the New Haven and Derby railroad for the time being hereby auth orized at their discretion, and wheneverzany legal and proper adjustment can be made to that effect to make such compromise and settlement of the debt due by the company to the city Of New Haven as in their judgment it shall be within the means of the company to meet.
