THE COTTON CROP.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE
AVERAGES
Ofthe Department and Those Of the
National acknowledgements
ence on the Subject.

New Orleans States. Ga September
20, 1856, j. r. Dodge, Stats iciau Of
the United States Department. of Agri.
culture, wrote 10 g. II. Parker, secre.
tary ct the n tional Cotton Exchange
Of America, ss follows:
II notice that out averages OF con-
dition OF cotton are lower this YEAR
and last than those of the National
Exchange. sssume there mus be a
difference IN the basis OF uni. of Cou-
dltion. Bob methods compare by
percentage with leo a unit which is
used for various purposes the area
OF last year, the standard of peri, Ct!
quail y, the expectation of a full or
perfect crop, and has also bsen used to
indicate the promise of an average
crop. Whet would 100 represent, as
you make comparisons with it, in con-
dition of cotton?
gs"Our reports Issued in August gave
percentage 81, pointing to 100000
bales; September gave percentage 81,
pointing to 1900 00 baes; October
gave percentage S74, pointing TO g.
$4,000 In November we gave no
percentages, but stated that only in
certain States named had October ex-
pectatioAs been real Led, and put the
crop at 6,650000 bales, an estimate
which can b. snown to be remarkably
close to the actual production. A
similar favorable showing can bs made
for the previous year, and wa tju
our work OF this Geason will not dis
appoint ue."
After noting some variations in the
percentages gwen by the Department
aud the Exchange, Mr.. J. A. Rem.
shaw, chairman OF the Central Com
mit'ee on Information and Statistics,
asked that Mr.. Dodge give him his
views fully on the subject.
Mr.. Renshsw replied that they bad
CO.. il d the departments explanation
of the decimal system as published q
few years back; that in both 100
meant full crop, but their under
stan ding was the full producing ca.
pacity of the coil in each State. But,
working On that isis, 100 this season
would mean yield OF 100000 balee. |
The percentages are made monthly
and, be said, relative 10 last year. The |
reply of October 81, 1885, was etalis-
tical matte-. The statement of actual
product was made as follows:

POtheJfaRham Having a Hand

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, November (Which
the Circuit Court convened this MORN
ing the hsbsas corpus case OF d. s.
FotheIinghsm, the Adams Express
messenger who was robbed in his car
two weeks ago of 100000, was called.
Fotheringhsm claimed in his petition
which was presented to the court yes.
terdsy that he was unlawfully and
sgainst his will deprived of bis liberty
by force by the Adams Express Com
pany ar d their agents. The writ was
issued reurnable this morning, when
the case was called, Manager Damsel,
OF the Express Company, his attor-
ney, Mr.. Mcdonald, and Detective
Pinkerton were on hand, but Mr..
Fortheringham was not to be seen,
Mr.. Mcdonald, who is also Assistant
Circuit Attorney, stated that Mr.. Foth-
eringham had been by mistake
taken to the Four Courts instead of the
Circuit Court room and asked
for time TO rectify the mistake and
produce him in court. The Court then
continued the casa until 2 o'clock this
afternoon. The alleged mistake which
necessitated Mr.. FotheriDgham's alb.
seHce from court is believed to have
been piece OF sharp practice by the
Assistant Circuit Attorney, the Adams
Express Oompany's attorney, by which
the messenger was spirited away TO
give the company time to secure q
bench warrant for the latter's arrest,
30 that he might be jailed before he
secured his liberty on the writ of
habeas corpus.
About 10 O'Clock this morning one
of Pinkerton's detectives placed Foth-
eringhsm in carriage at the Southern |
Hotel and told him that he was about
to be taken TO the circuit court, where |
MS hsbeas corpus case was to be tried.
The detective was evidently under in
structions to consume as much time as
possible in conveying the messenger
thlther, for the coachman drove his
horse at walk and in a roundabout
route, consuming about three-quarters
OF an hour in dong 30, at least enough
time to enable bench warrant to be
secured for Fotheringham's arrest.
When the carriage arrived at the
circuit court, Deputy Sheriff Hart
served the warrant and the prisoner
was then taken to the Four Courts
where be was locked up. A short
time Afterwards the grand jury who
had been investigating the robbery
returned an Indictment against him
charging him with grand larceny and
with receiving stolen property. Two
other indictments were returned, one
against "Jim Cummings" and the
other against Richard Roe, concerning
.he identity Of whom nothing is as
yet known.
Mr.. Fotheringham was seen at the
all by the reporter and stoutly Jas
serted that he was innocent Of the
'obbery and knew no more about 1t {

OUR LITTLE GRANDCHILD
CIeRDsed, Purified and RenutiRed
by the CuticurA Remedies

1t affords me pleasure to give you this ro-
| port OF the cure OF our little grandchild by
your CuTIoURA REMEDIES, When six mon tbs
old his lett hand began to swell and had every
appearance of alarge boil. We poulticed it,
but all to no purpose. About Eve months
after 1t became running sore. Soop other
sores formed. He hen had two Of them on
each hand, and as his blood became more and
more impure 1t took less time for them to
brOak out. A sore came on the chin, be-
meath the under lip, which was very often
sivs. His head was one solid soab, discharg-
ing a great deal. This was his condition at
twenty. two months old, when / undertook
the care of him, his mother having died
when he was little moro than year old, of
consumption (scrofula of oourse). He could
yak little, S5t could not get up II he fell
ing no use Of his hands. Immediately COM
menced with the CUTICURA REMEDIES, using
the CUT1CURA and CUTICURA SOAP freely, and
whom he had taken one bottle Of the Curl.
cnred, and he was improved in every way.
We were very much encouraged, and con-
tinued the use of the Remedies for year
and half. One sore. after another healed, a
bony matter forming in each one of these five
deep ones just before healing, which would
finally grow loose and were taken out; then
they would heal rapidly. One Of these ugly
bone formations | preserved. Aftor taking
dozen and a half bottles he was completely
cured, and is now, at tho age Of six years,
strong and healthy child. The scars on his
hands must a ways remain; his hands are
strong. though we once feared ho would
mover be able to use Thorn. All that physi-
CLANS did for him did hiS no good. All who
aw the oh Id before using the CUTIoURA
REMEDIES and sec the chill now, consider II
a wonderful cure. If the above facts are of
any use to you, you arc at liberty 10 use
them. MRS. Il, S. BRIGGS,

Mr.. Dodge accounted for these dis.

ment's basis of comparison is on an
ideal unchanged crop, etc.; and the
exchanges basis is comparison OF &C.
tual yields with averages Of condi-
ton; and, second, there was evidently
too hasty G nerslization, the decline
to 80 being too marked. A great deal
more correspondence ard statistical
matter passed between the two gen.
tlemen, and Mr., Dodge concluded bis
letter OF November 81 as follows:
Finally, the differences appear to be
these: Our reporters, standing in the
cotton fields, make the capacity of
their lands, with usual culture and no
drawbacks, this basis OF comparison;
yours, looking from distances that
lend enChsntment to the view, try 10

Good girls from the hearts to the lips
Pure as the lily is white and pure.
From its heart to its sweet Leaf tips.
The girls that are wanted are home girls.
Girls that are mothers right hand,
That fathers and brothers can trust to.
And tine little ones understand.
Girls that are fair on the hearthstOne,
And pleasant when nobody sees;
Kind aud sweet to their own folk,
Ready and anxious to please.
The girls that are wanted are wise girls
That know what to do and to say.
That drive with smile or a soft word
The wrath of the household away.
The girls that are wanted are girls of
sense,
Whom fashion eau never deceive;
Who can follow whatever is pretty,
And dare, what is silly, to leave.
The girls that are wanted are careful girls
Who count what thing will cost;
Who use with a prudent, generous hand,
But see that nothing is lost.
The girls that ave wanted are girls with

They are wanted for mothers and wives;
Wanted to cradle in loving arms,

Brother Grady, of the OOnstitN-

We know not what that extIa0rdi

and East Tennessee may be doing
in Atlanta, but the common im-
preston elsewhere is that the men
from Nutmeg States are not only
squeezing all OF our Southern oil
out of cotton seed, but putting an
extra anaconda twist upon the
planters who f0oliShly sell their seed
at u mere song aud buy commercial
fertilizers at the North for higher
prices, intensified by rates OF inter

beggar almost any people. The

people Will smile at Brother Grady's
assertion that SOutherBers are
sqeezing instead OF being squeezed

of charity, arising from baked
beans and New York post plandial
