The Cotton Crop Prospect.

1.-THE most unfavorable crop season in
forty years." coming from the lips Of the
commissioner of agriculture, is a state.
ment that challenges attention.
An interview with Mr.. S. M. Inman,
printed elsewhere, lends emphasis to the
statement Of Commissioner Nesbitt, and
explains it's meaning.
The cotton crop of the current year is
100000 bales larger than that of last
year, and 1850, 900 bales larger than that
of two years before. Mr. Inman explains
that the growth ofconsumption, annually,
is equal to about 100000 bales. From
this it follows that 100000 bales of the
present years crop is drug upon the
market, and accounts for the low prices.
The season of 1890 was phenomenal
all the way through. Not only was the
winter and Spring weather most favora-
BILE for farm work, but the cotton.picking
season permitted the fullest garnering Of
the crop. This immunity from loss by
the elements contributed almost wholly
to the great surplus upon the market.
Following upon this remarkable year
for farmers, the statement of Commits
sioner Nesbitt is an intimation that the
coming crop may be one of the smallest
of recent years. Mr.. Innman puts the
loss in yield at not less than half a mil
lion bales. The fact is that every days
bad weather from now on will reduce the
acreage until it will be problem as to
what the crop may be.
Dispatches from Alabama and Missis-
sippi show that the condition in those
States are fully as bad, if not worse, than
in Georgia. To compensate for this loss,
there will be better prices for cotton on
hand when the fact becomes established,
and short crop next fall will mean bet
ter prices then.-Atlanta Consultation.

Washington Talk.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Seuator
Hampton's Democratic associates in the
Senate do not propose to allow him to go
into retirement without a formal express
sion of their high esteem for him per.
sonally and politically.
1t was originally intended to dc as the
Republican Senators propose doing for
Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, give an
elaborate dinner party in his honor.
Senator Hampton, with his characteristic
moGesty and dislike of ostentation, gave
his friends to understand that while he
appreciates their friendly intentions his
health will not permit him to attend the
proposed dinner.
Senators German, Ransom and others,
who has the matter in hand, at once de-
termined that they would not permit
great national character like Wade
Hampton to depart from the Senate
without distinctive mark of apprecia-
ton from his Democratic associates in
that body. It is, therefore, proposed in
lieu of the dinner party to present him
with handsome piece of silver, appro-
priately inscribed, as slight token of the
love and regard of his late Senatorial
companions. A committee has been ap-
pointed to select the design and make the
presentation.
SeBator.elect Irby was an interested
spectator at the closing scenes in the
House of Representatives today. He
occupied q seat on the floor of the House
between Representatives Tillman and
Perry. He evidently received a straight
tip that the proceedings in the House
would be more exciting than the closing
exercises in the Senate, so he stayed away
from the latter body, and was repaid for
his attendance in the House by seeing one
of the most exciting Congressional clos
ings in the history of our Government.
Speaker Reed was as vindictive and
partisan in the last few minutes of the
session, as he was in the midst of his ar.
bitrary performances when enforcing his

Tie Phosphate War.

the great phosphate war to-day. It was
a big gun and comes from the United
States Courtin the shape of an injunction
copy of which has been served on the
Phosphate Commissioners and on the Ii.
censes operating on the Coosaw territory
under their permission. The order grant
ed by Judge Simonton, which is in the
nature of a temporary injunction, and is
directed to Governor Tillman, Attorney
General Pope, Comptroller General Ell
lerbee, J. D. Montgomery, and G.. b..
Walter, and eDjoins them from entering
upon or in any manner interfering with
that part of the Coosaw River heretofore
occupied by the Coosaw Mining Compa-
ny under the Act of 1876 ; or from in any
manner or way interfering with or inter.
rupting the occupancy and quiet enjoy.
ment of the said Coosaw Mining Compa.
ny thereof, or with the continuance by
them of their mining operation therein,
and from authorizing, or assuming to
authorize Others to enter upon said
territory, 6f to dig or to remove phosphate
rock, OF deposits therefrom, or from any
portion thereof, and from instigating or
encouraging others to do 30.
The Injunction also applies to the
Carolina Mining Company. which seems
to be the name of the anti Coosaw
combination that was granted licenses by
the Phosphate commission to mine in
the Coosaw territory. The injunction Is
peremptory, and is to remain in force
until further hearing of the case. The
complainants have given bond to the
court in S2,50O to secure the defendants
against damages in case the injunction is
dismissed. The defendants can, by giving
eight days notice, move to dissolve the
Injunction. The effect of their injunction
will be to stop the mining of phosphates
in the Coosaw territory by all parties till
the case is finally settled, which will be
at an indefinite time.-Specias to the
Columbia Register.
