THE COTTON CROP

The probable extent Of the
present cotton crop remains one
Of the most interesting problems
agitating the South The season
is late this year, aud many reasons
have conspired to throw more
than usual doubt upon the output.
The character Of tho crop move
mrnt affords no satisfactory cons
palison with recent years, and
besides there has beer a scarcity
of official esiimates as to the
probable outcome.
Oh Saturday Bradstreets JOUR
nal, an ably conduc cd Now York
periodical, published an estimate
based upnn several thousand re-
plies 10 inquiric3 in every section
of the cotton belt, Indicating the
probable yield to be 6,s00,O00 to
$3.50, 900 bales. The method of
arsivIng at this conclusion, as eX-
| pa ned by the Journal in question,
IS not reassurln9, as it is frankly,
statcd that the aggregate sub
,tancc of the replies received
Indicated yield Of only $780,
600 biies, to which was added 3
per cent as an allowance for the
general tendency to underestimate,
as Indicated by plst experience.
4 The crudity of the whole sys-
tenn Of crop estimating IS 50 evil
dert rs TO desc vc t, be always
boru,. in mind by the public, 50
that these publications may be
accepted for what they ,eally are.
namely, simple estimates, and not
uracalar pfedic IONS.
Opinions differ widely among
cation men as to the extent Of the
crop. estimates rnnning from
$500, eco ali the way up To H.
2O0,0 bales although It must be
confessed that tie Iargerestinat~s
have fewer friends than they had

WASHINGTON LETTER.



Senator Beck 5 absence has
been seriously felt in the Senate
since the republican tariff bill has
pscn taken up. He is the one
democratic Senator who has the
whole subject at his tinge.s' ends,
and hope that he would he able
10 resume his seat at the present
session, together with the idea,
/ which for some reason was pre-
yalent among the democratic SEN
ators, that the republicans would
not take up the tariff ut this ses-
SION, has doubtless prevented the
democratic Senator's from prepar-
ing themselves to m Ike as stout n
resistance as was expo ctcd of hem
to he passage of the bill. This
may be rrmedicd yet, but as it
stands now, the democrats of the

It is Printed il Irish.

=
The Gael, the first journal pub
lished in the interest of the Irish
language, lies before US. 1t is a
sixteen page monthly; one half be-
ing Irish and the other English. 1t
gives easy lessons in Irish, transla-
tions, poems, historical sketches and
general correspondence in Irish and
English. Our Hibernian friends
will be pleased to read this piece OF
intelligence, for, up to the founda-
tion OF the Gael, they had no jour
nal in their old national language.
The Gael is the representative of the
movement for the preservation and
cultivation of the Irish language
initiated by the late Archbishop
McHale, the Rev. Ulick j. Bourke
and other leading Irishmen. These
were again resoiutely supported by
British and Continental philologists,
such as Prof. Blackie of Scotland,
DIR. Deventer. Royal College, Sile-
STA, Germany; DR.. Schuchardt, Sty-
ria, Austria: DR.. Windisch, Leipsic,
Germany, and DR.. thinner, Griefs-

preserve the Gaelic language for
pathological purposes-Dr. thinner

in order to obtain knowledge of it's

auspices, its uniqueness and low

Well let the reader into lit lie
secret. Nine tenths of the real OPP
position to Gov. Taylor comes from
the brazen fellows who tried to boss
him and failed and lot of others
whose pas and uncles and cousins
didn't get an office they applied for.
Their opposition makes the COVER
nor stronger with the people who
admire sturdy character. The &C.
cret is this: These fellows, to make
the opposition seem stronger, have
"mentioned' prominent gentlemen
all over the state for governor in or
der to turn the local papers for
their townsmen, and thus they make
it appear that all these papers are
opposing Gov. Taylor. It's SLY
trick. Notice, the Columbia Herald
tries to side track The CITIZEN on
Mr.. Ewing. We are for Mr.. Ewing
for anything he offers, ordinarily,
but be is not a candidate now and
The CITIZEN cannot be switched of
the main Taylor track by any such
shrewd game. When the conven-
ton meets and these papers and
their friends have paid the last sad
tribute of respect to these "men
toned" gentlemen in compliment
tary ballot, the Taylor phalanx will
be formed and sweep down on the
convention like the waters at Lo
dore. The gentlemen whose pas
and uncles and cousins and things
failed to get an appointment had
better come with umbrellas.

The World Advances,


We venture to assert that every
reader of this pager has pride to a
greater or less degree in the ap-
pearance of their attire; and all
will agree with US, that no matter
how neatly one may be dressed,
soiled and unpublished shoes mar
the appearance OF the individual.
Yet when one considers the often
useless labor of polishing shoes,
when all their lustre will be lost the
moment an individual steps out in
TO the damp or dusty street, it is to
be wondered at that an improved
method of polishing shoes has not
long since been introduced.
But we said "the world advan-
ces," and at last we hail with pleas
ure q liberation from this useless
toll. It's name is VOLTS Acme
Backing" The inventor has justly
named it "Acme Backing" We
have tried it and know whereof we
speak, and can assure all our read
ers that the use of this black ing, il
carried out as the manufacturers
direct, becomes a source of pleasure
and comfort. Knowing it's virtues,
We would not do without il.
