TnE LOTION CROP,

The question of paramount
importance to the South, from a
purely material point of view. is
uuguestiOnably the probable
size of the cotton crop. and yet
there is 10 one thing the extent
of phieh can he less accurately
guessed. Even the best authOTi-
ties on sHch matters viii as yet
scarcely venture an opinion,
while the cotton trade general
" admits divergence of views
embracing over a half million OF
bales
Ia spite Of all this uncertain
", however. there is no question
Of an actually short crop invOlv.
ed, but the point debated is how
much above the average viii the
yield be.
We have said, aud with Jus
tee, that the South has n vital
interest in this question, for no
other industry gives employ
ment TO as many people Ia this
section rs does cotton While

aud Southern planters are no
longer dependent on the single
crop system. still it Is the basis
of trade with Us. and on il the
farmer depends for his fund OF
ready money or its equivalent
in supplies.
The past scaEOn has not been
an ideal ORe for cotton grown 2,
succession of droughts and
floods having 80 retarded the
crop that il Is many weeks late.
and consequently more exposed
than usual to the dangers of an
early winter Yet ia spite oi
al past damage and danger TO
come, il is probable that the
acreage reported will at all
events insure as large n crop as
last year.
The sale of last years WELD
was very lucrative to the South.
IN fact did mucn TO bring about
new era OF prosperity, hence

ally small figure. and cousump-
ton has nearly outstripped pro-

to lock for a large demand aud

crop.
Our cotton planters have eve

The following incident, which
occurred IN the life OF Governor
Geary, of Pennsylvania. was re-
lated by Howard, an Episcopal
minister of New York.
The governor was nj social
dinner at which Intoxicating
beverages were passed. which
were refused by him. THIS act,
80 unusual in men OF his Ta1k,
was cOmpIimented By = friend
who sat near him. who asked II
be might know how he came to
the possession of such princi
pies aud the Governor replied
/ in substance as follows:
MY father was a rich farmer,
and enjoyed sith his family The
temporal blessings of that class
of men. But he took to drink.
Piece by piece he sold of his
personal property, and then acre
by acre the farm went to pay his
bills ut the tavern, aud TO sup
port the family; for father was
neglecting bis work for the CON-
panions OF the bar room. Thus
things went on until only a little
land and "A wretched house re
manned of his once magnificent
estate. But worse than this, be
bad lost that noble manliness
which had once characterized
him. The loving husband and
Indulgent parent bad been lost
in the fumes of drink. OF this.
mother was the nest ksenly sen
sitive of any one. Hers was
the heart ache that only the .wife
of such an unfortunate man
knows. The tears that she had
shed over our blasted prospects,
'and especially the husbands,
whom she vet loved were bitter
and sealdiDg. Her grief was
eating at her yitals and cry ing
up the fountains of her life.

There was q considerable crowd at Bill
Robinson's headquarters, playing some
game, when dispute arose about 8
quarter, and all of s sudden Seek Henry
rose from the table and fred st Noah
Moore twice and st Bill Robinson once,
and one shot at random while retreatiDg.
Seek Henry and Noah Moore waived ex-
animation this evening before Justice
Mosely, and had their bonds fixed at $3.50
each.
John Holmes, a colored deputy, was
shot at twice at Smiths store by unknown
parties while making an arrest. There
was no one hurt at either place, which
was almost miracle.
