THE COTTON CROP.
Report or the Department or Agri-
culture for the Month OF August.
lBy telegraph to the Dispstch.l

tBy telegraph TO the Dispatchl
WASHINGTON, September 10.-The
September report Of the Department OF
Agriculture makes the average condition
of cotton S3.S-a decline of 81 points
since the last report. The general ave
rage is slightly higher than in 1887 and
1886, when it stood mt S2.S and 81. re-
spectiyely. A decline, while slight, has
been general throughout the cotton belt,
except in North Carolina and Tennessee,
where more seasonable weather has re-
suited in a slightly improved condition.
Local damage has resulted in the Caro-.
linas from both drought and excess OF
moisture, rainfall during the month be-
ing unevenly distributed.
Rust is general throughout Georgia,
and with drought ald shedding OF bolls
has seriously reduced the condition Of
the crop.
Alabama has suffered from heat AM
drought. and in some sections the month
closes with apprehensions of damage
from excessive and continuous rainfall
The decline in Mississippi and Loulsi-
ana is the result of the marked excess of
moisture during the last two weeks Of
August. The severe storm which swept
over the States on the 18th and 2Oth
prostrated the plants and continuous
rains have beaten out the bolls and
caused some rotting.
The crop in Texas was beginning to
suffer for moisture when the rains OF the
latter part OF the month came, making 1t
seasonable over the greater part Of the
State and breaking the threatened
drought and arresting the decline IN the
condition which had set in.
The Arkansas average has been lower
ed by locally unfavorable seasons,
drought in some sections and excessive
moisture. especially toward the close of
the month, III others causing the reduc-
ton.
The month was favorable in Tennessee,
seasons good, and but little complaint Of
rust.
The State averages of condition are /:
Virginia, 81 North Carolina, 81 South
Carolina, S3 ; Georgia, S5 Florida, 80 !;
Alabama, 81 Mississippi, So Louisiana,
~ Texas, - Arkansas, 81; Tennes-
see, %. The crop is generally somewhat
late aud picking delayed by unfavorable
weather. Caterpillars and boll-worms
are frequently mentioned, and doing
damage where not vigorously fought.
The first is found most frequently in
Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana. while
the latter is noted chiefly in Texas. twill
of course be understood that this report
relates to the status on the first day Of
the month.

RenuhIican ward.meetlngs.

The Republicans of the city were to
meet in their respective wards last night
to choose delegates to represent them in
the convention of the party in this dis
trict to be held at Henrico Courthouse
Thursday to nominate candidate in OPP
position to Hon. George ID. Wise. The
drenching rain made the night unfayora-
bic for any very jubilant political demon
stration, and hence the assemblages were
no doubt small but enthusiastic and
effective"
The Malone wing of the party is in
great majority here, and it may be well
expected that the man "the little Gene
raj desires to have the place will get the
nomination.

mr.. Charles monorabry Discharged.

Mr.. !. |. Charles was before the Po-
lice Court Yesterday morning to answer
the charge made against him by Rosa f.
Lee Of stealing from her money and
yalusbles amounting to so.
The woman stated that she met the
accused last Tuesday night, and then re-
lated how her money was stolen.
MIR. A. e. Becker, superintendent OF
the Union News Company, took the wit
ness-stand, and stated that Mr.. Charles,
who is a news agent on the Danville
railroad left Richmond Tuesday morn
ing at half-past 2 o'clock, made his run
to Charlotte, n. c., returning to Rich

SO it appeared that he could not pos
sibly have been the offender. and he was
at once honorably discharged.
