RAYMOND, MISS, Nov. 3--Out of
1.40O electors entitled to vote at this
precinct, but 1874 exercised that
privilege to-day. The coIored popDla-
tion manifested no interest whatever
and the whites stood upon the streets
talking of other matters. There being
no opposition either to the State oT
county ticket, the Democratic ticket
received the entire vote.
Col. Leche, State assessor Of Louis.
lana, who has been here for a week on
more, left this morning for New
Orleans in fine health and spirits.
Gov. McEnery remains at CoopeF's
Well until Thursday, when he will 10
to Baton Rouge and from there to the
Exposition opening.

TIE October cotton report to Brad
streets Journal is based on Lila re-
plies from correspondents in 576 out of
654 cotton growing counties in the
South. The Semptember report indi.
Gated that no improvement had taken
place from previous conditions except
in the States of Texas and Arkansas.
The present report indicates a
further decrease in the prospective
yield in the Carolinas, Geor-
gia, Alabama and Florida. Texas.
Arkansas and Louisiana showed a Ger.
tain amount Of gain in the general con-
dition, while the crop in Mississippi
and Tennessee just about held its own. /.
Taking the cotton region as whole,
the prospects Of any top crop being
gathered may be.set down as undoubt-
edly bad. The conclusion here reached
only emphasizes our report of last
month, in which the failure Of the top
crop was indicated.
