fit of the Kings Daughters Hospital.

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch
SrAUvToN, Va, November THE small
vote in this county and city is taken as an
indication that the straightout Democrats
do NOT relish voting for Farmers Alliance
candidate. The entire vote for city and
county is only about 400. Theusual vote
is about 5000.
A very ENJOYABLE amateur performance
was given OF the Opera-House last night
for the benefit of the Kings Daughters
Hospital. The two comedies, ION the
Stage" and "Chums,n were presented.
Misses Hullihen and May end Messrs.
Hultz and Baker deserve special praise.
About $500 was realized.

The New Crop and Its Marketing.


In its annual cotton report the New York
Chronicle has the following to say on the
subject of the new crop:
A year ago we said in this report with
reference to the cotton crop then maturing
''that the largest cotton crop ever raised
was in sis ht." Quite as positively it can be
stated this year that the crop now making
is sure to be smaller than that of last year.
This conclusion has. indeed, been apparent
from the start. Even away back in June,
among the deductions in our acreage report
we affirmed, after remarking upon the I'M
certainty of the outlook: ''Perhaps we may
say the promise of to-day is that we shall
have good crop. There is, however, a
chance that we shall have a poor crop;
but there is no possibility of our having
'full' crop"
Now, however, as the 1891 product is
reaching maturity, and as we have in hand,
in reply to inquiries sent out, detailed re-
ports of the present situation from all parts
of the South, closer approximation to
probable results is possible. Summarizing
the growth since our acreage report was
issued, we would say that in the Atlantic
states and in a large portion of Alabama
and Mississippi and in the Memphis district
in all Of which the crop had very late
start, the plant is late still, and over
the most of those sections it is fully as
backward as it was in the earlier months.
ton mentioned although of Tennessee and
Arkansas it is true to a less extent than of
the other states) rains have been excessive,
more especially during the last six weeks,
and at some points caterpillars are reported
to have done considerable harm. We can
not think that in any of the states named
the yield this year will equal the yield of
the perfect year of 1890. In Texas and in
Louisiana the reports encouraged the belief
of full crop until very recently. Now,
however, Texas reports that the drouth
siderable part of the most productive cot
ton-producing portion of the state, and had
not been broken at latest dates, has done
very material harm. What the exact out
come of all this will be, it is Of course too
early to determine; but taking the perfect
,sconditions of year ago to make comparison
with, we see no way to avoid the conclusion
that material deduction from last years
yield will have to be made in estimates.

The Dime, Piled On.

A nlmble witted young man who writes
for the newspapers on current topics, at SO
much per column, made up his mind few
weeks ago that the possession OF type
writing instrument would greatly increase
his earning capacity. He talked with his
wife about the matter, and she agreed with
him that the purchase of a typewriter
would be good investment. But how to
make the purchase was the question. The
"nimble witted' had very little ready cash,
and he was not in a position to command
credit to any considerable extent.
Upon inquiry he found that typewriters
were sold on the instaliment plan, ten dol
lars down and ten or twenty dollars a
month, as might be agreed upon. He
bought an instrument for 800, and agreed
to pay twenty dollars per month. Then
his wife and himself made a private agree
ment that each and every ten cent piece
that came into the possession of either of
them should go into box and be applied
to the payment for the typewriter. Under
no circumstances was either of them to
spend a ten cent coin.
