The Cotton Crop.

WAsH1NaToN, October 20.-The
October report of the cotton crop,
made by the Department of Agri,
culture, shows a material decline in
cotton prospects, a fall in general
percentage from 85.6 to 80. The
State averages are as follows: Vir-
ginia, 90; North Carolina, 81; South
Carolina, 88; Georgia, 80; Florida, 81;
Alabama, 80; Mississippi, rs; Lcuisi-
ANA, SO, Toxas, ~ Arkansas Sc;
Tennessee, 83. The largest deterio-
ration has been in Tennessee, Missis-
sippi, Arkansas and Louisiana, the
fertile and productive bottom lands
of the mississippi Valley. The
cause is too much rain. Excess of
moisture, coupled with lack of sun.
shine and reduced temperature, dc.
lays opening, causes immature bolls
to drop and full grown ones to rot,
and induces %sprouting Of the seed.
The same cause discolors the open
cotton @ the ground, and dis
charges the coloring matter Of the
hollis, staining the fiber. The value
of the crop will be somewhat re.
duced by discoloration. Tho high
expectations of tho early seasons
were first reduced by early droughts,
and later more seriously by moro or
less continuous rains, from North
Carolina to Eastern Texas. In the
more Southern districts thcrc is
some complaint of tho boil worm,
with little mention of the caterpillar.

In the Court Of Sessions at Abbeviile
last week Sam and Marion Nash were
convicted Of lmurder and sentenced TO be
hanged on December u. These are two
negro boys aged about13 and ii years
respectively. who killed their uncle. q
negro named Nelson, by striking him IN
the head with an axe while lie was IN the
act Of making q fire to cook dinner.
They then hitched q mule to his body
and dragged 1T some distance and con-
cealed 1t in q gully. They claimed that
he was cruel to them, and That they were
prompted to the deed by his wife.
Throughout tho trial and when they
stood up and received sentence OF death,
they were as u~nooncerned as two sheep
and appear to have no conception Of their
impending fate. An effort will he made
to have the sentence COMMITTED.
Tho fourth Quarterly Conference Of
the Walhslle charge an,es held IL the vel

Walhalla, D.H...A. Smith; Zion, Henry
Leo; Double Springs, G. w. Hogsed
Laurel Springs, M.xM. ,Grahl. The first
Quarterly Conference of tho new year
will be held In the Walhalla church. The
Presiding Elder preached both Saturday
and Sunday at eleven O'Clock, with his
usual power and effectiveness. The sor.
mon on Sunday morning, preached from
the first three verses of the fourteenth
chapter of the Gospel by John, was re-
markably touching and deeply spiritual
But its solemnity and spirituality were
greatly marred by the necessity of taking
up n collection for the District Parsonage
at its close and before the Sacrament OF
the Lords Supper was administered. 1t
is always unfortunate to have tho spirit
ual effects of a sermon thus destroyed by
some ~oxtraneous matter, whether intro
duced of necessity or otherwise. In this
case it, was doubtless unavoidable, and O
handsome collection was lifted.

Hon. w. j. Nortken, the Demo-
CRATIC candidate for Governor Of
Georgia, says iii the Sosahegn Ct5-
huators aSince the farmers have
interested themselves in matters Of
public concern, theirs has been some
apprehension on the part Of
the disturbed that they would att
temptsradieal revolution thoroughly
destructive to party Interests, and
damaging to our system of governs
ment and the best interests of tho
country. In tho minds Of the
thoughtful and observing these fears
are groundless, as, in all the history
Of our people, the farmers are known
to form the most conservative ele-
mont in our government. Indeed, it
is known to be true that the farmers
make the balance Wheel III our sys-
tenn; they steady its movements,
tShatb may n0ts override and crush
out the weak, nor grow and develop
in the interest of the strong"
