As our farmers are talking about re-
ducing the acreage in cotton in order
tolessen the production, and thus raise
the price, these figures might be
studied with profit. Supply and de-
mand seems to have regulated the price
of cotton in some Of the seasons since
1926, but it is such tickle thing that
it is difficult to discover it, for in some
years, when there was decrease in
the supply, cotton brought lower
price than in years when larger crop
was made. fTSngGh or Wit: udge by the

hAhGSTON CITY.

A correspondent writing us
from Lsngston City, Oklahoma,
has this to say of that enterprising
town: "Before visiting this place
| had heard and read much of it's
marvellous growth and enterprise.
| had heard of its weekly news
paper, its bank, its hotels, lis mag
nificent residences, its road streets
and its large and rapidly increas-
Ing population. On my arrival l
found the report to be absolutely
true, except 10 few particulars
hereafter to be noted. l found
that the newspaper was alright,
except that it is printed in a town
some miles away; the bank was
doing good business, except that
it was situated in a town about
so miles away; the hotels were
large and snacious hnt wnrn oi'"

it would take you week to find
out.
ANOTHER COLORED MAN
APPOIN TED.

In the appOlutm mt of IL III
John +. Cook as Assessor of th
Dis rict Of Columbia, the Hon.
Commissioners exhibi'ed not oni
W sd IN. but a desire to be just
and fair TO the C ,lored citizens of
this District. MIR. Cook wa not
a candidate and did nothing hat
ever t. influence the action of the
appointing power.
Ex-senator Bruce, feeling that
the race should be repr, sented on
the Board by a man of character
and standing, and Knowing that
the duties TO be performed by The
Assessor would require Il high or
der of intelligence and ripe eA
perience, suggested To Mr.. Cook
sometime since, that he should
allow his name 10 BE- used in thi,
connection, to which Mr.. Cook
finally consented; Mr. Bruce uu-
dertaking to do whatever was
necessary to bring about the ap-
pointment. There were others
of course who indorsed Mr.. Cook
for the place, but the appointment
was brought about under the
management OF Mr.. Bruce. The
appoin meut is highly gratifying
to all classes of our citizens and
should be especially gratifying to
Mr.. Cook, since it came to him
entirely uns ,ught. He has held a
number of responsible positions
In this D strict and has always dis
charged the duties in way to
reflect credit upon himself and
the race with which be is identi-
fed.
The Washington bee., 1891-05-30

Under the above caption in our
last issue we said, tlst two col,
ed gentlemen, would in few davs
be appointed to responsible posi-
tions. Scarcely had the BEE left
the press when the appointment
of Mr.. Cook was announced.
For the information of our read
ers, We will state that other color
ed appointments will be made
before long. Every prediction
that the BEE has ever made in
regard to these matters has been
verified, in fact the BEE is now
known among the people as "the
great prophet" But we begin to
feel that we shall have to abandon
prophesy and the recording OF CO. .
ored appointments under this ad-
minlstration, for the reason that
President Harrison makes these
appointments so rapidly, tnat we
are scarcely able to keep up with
him; still, since our readers insist
upon knowing what has happened,
what is happening and what will
happen, we shall feel compelled
to give them the news.

THE BEE.

With this Issue of the BEE the
management is pleased to say it
enters into its 10th year and the
prospects OF having a bright fut-
ure is assured. Notwithstanding
the prophecy of its enemies and
the opposition of its opponents,
the paper seems to meet the ap-
proval of all good citizens. Every
effort has been made to satisfy the
demar ds of reading public and
to maintain Journal that will
vindicate the oppressed.
With no desire to discourage
those who have entered into the
field OF journalism, aud those who
are struggling for existence, the
BEE is fixture. In thanking it's
friends and patrons for what they
have done, in keeping a live, a
fearless and outspoken organ, the
editor assures you that the BEE,
will within a short period make
it's appearance ottener. 1t is an
absolute necessary that the race
should have a daily at the capitol
of the nation; one that will truth
fully and fearlessly defend the
interest of a rising people.

"SYNDICATES.'

Now and then you will read in
public print of some responsi-
bic persons throwing to the breeze
some KIND of a scheme. The lat
est is an alleged "News Syndi-
cate" In print to outsiders it
reads fair, but, to those who know
the character of the men 1t is like
soap bubble. This alleged "syn-
dictate" is without foundation cir
culated by irresponsible and unre-
liable Negroes who have been
hanging around Washington for
at least two y, ars.

The idea of a man who is only

and a wife and child to support,
and the other recently kicked out

and be only received $55 per

see that it is fraud upon its face.
Two of these individuals have been
connected with all kinds of

"The resignation racket" is still

A GOOD WEEK OF WEATHER FOR CROPS.

Boston, July 10.-The New England Meteorological

"The week Just passed has been for the most part
very favorable for the farmer. Haying is now
general in the Northern States and is completed in
some sections in the South. The crop continues 10
turn out much better than was expected and is OF
superior quality. Corn and tobacco have made fine
growth Potatoes promise well in the North but IN
the SOUTH where digging has begun, they found to
be very small Applcs do not promise well as has
been reported in New Hampshire and southern Yer
mont They are dropping off considerably
Ithaca y. V. July i9.-The New York state Weather
Bureaus crop bulletin says:
The past week has been exceptionally favorable
for harvesting and considerable proportion of the
nav wheat and rye crops have been secured in eX-
ccllcnt condition. excepting in the northern section OF
the state where the work is less advanced. Wheat
and rye have generally good color and well filed,
while hay is in most cases, of excellent quality. The
amount Of hay averages from one halft 10 twotiTs OF
the usual crop in western and southeastern New York
and the great lake region and from twotrds to nearly
full average yield near the central lakes and in the
eastern, central and northern counties The yield OF
wheat will probably be fully equal TO tho average
amount and Of rye nearly crop is expected
Barley is less satisfactory in quantity and quality than
other grains.
Growing crops have generally come forward well
during the week, the advance being especially rapid IN
the cases of oats and potatoes. Corn is still rather
backward but grows rapidly. Potatoes worry gen.
orally reported 70 be in excellent condition. -.
The apple crop Is good in the central Hudson valley
but over the greater part OF the state the yeld VIII
extent previously reported. Other tree fruits, well
as raspberr1es, are generally IN good condition.
