Hope for the Planter.

AUGUSTA, GA, September 26.-The
Chronicle will publish in the morning a
letter from Alfred B. Shepperson on the
crop outlook. in which he says: Upon
the basis of the Agricultural Bureaus S
estimate of the acreage and its September
estimate of the condition, the yield indi-
Gated is only about 6,5o0,oOo bales. The
condition of the crop as reported by the
Bureau on September l, was lower than
for any year since 1888. The crop OF
1854 was l,237 900 bales smaller than
the crop of 1882 SO. To the 6,500.0Oo
bales indicated according to the Bureaus S
estimate must be added the amount OF
old cotton left in the interior, of which
an extreme estimate is 250,00O bales.
Supposing all the old cotton to be mar
keted this season, and l have no doubt it
will be, this would make the commercial
crop according to the Bureaus indica-
tons about 6,750, 900 bales. I am merely
pointing out what would be the result If
the Bureaus estimate should prove 20 De
correct, and in this connection it may be
proper to say that the Bureaus estimates
are generally too low. / do not think
there is shadow of doubt about the fact
that the present prices of cotton are much
lower than the cost of production, except
to those planters who have the best
facilities for producing it. When an arti-
Gle of such universal use as cotton is
pressed below the cost of production and
coincident with that fact there should
come the fact of short supply there
must of necessity be an advance, fol
everybody will then realize that the arti
Gle is too cheap"

Col. Crandall's Racket.

WASHINGTON, D. c., September 30
Col. Lee Crandal,, who Travelled with
Gen. Weaver and Mrs. Lease in their tour
of the Southern States in the interest of
the candidates of the Peoples Party, has
returned to Washington. Col. Crandall
was an officer in the Confederate army,
gallantly serving in Louisiana regiment.
He says the treatment accorded Gen.
Weaver and his party in .5e5sSouth was a
disgrace to modern civilization. When
the mob found out tina. a.:.leshad been in
the Confederate army he says that they
assured him that had they 'fnown it he
would have received civil treatment.
Speaking of the prospects of the Peo-
ple's Party, Col. Crandall takes rather a
roseate view of the situation in Missis-
sio7i md says Weaver and Field will re-
ceive the electoral vote of Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, North Carolina, Florida, Cali
fornia, Nevada, Oregon, Colorado, Kan-
sas, Nebraska, a2d Minnesota, good
prospects in Virginia, Texas, Georgia
and Arkansas. He counts Tennessee and
West Virginia as certainly Republican.

Mr.. Bearden in Reply to 'Patron.'

MEssRs. EDITORS: reply to Patron
thus: OF all the Little things ever knew
for any one to pick up to try down an
other with Patron" certainly has the
least. If he had made full statement
ut first the public would have seen there
was nothing in it. will now state the
case just as it was. In January, 1891,
the trustees, together with the patrons
of Bethel school met and employed ".
A. Sheldon to teach school for them.
Circumstances were such that Mr.. Shell
don could not take charge for few days,
and the patrons, desiring the school to
commence at once, it was agreed that my
daughter teach as assistant teacher for
Mr.. Sheldon, which she did teach for
eight days. BE it understood that she
was not employed as q public teacher,
but as an assistant of W. A. Sheldon;
that he paid her for the services rendered
as an assistant teacher out of his own
private funds; and this was the under
standing and agreement, both of the
patrons and trustees, and 1 can prove the
above by the reliable and truthful patrons
of the school. j. w. BEARDEN.

On Monday last Mr.. Cleveland pub

nomination for President of the United

The letter is scarcely half the length
of President Harrison's, but is q strong
and forcible statement of the Democratic
creed. Heneglects none of the important
issues OF the campaign. but meets them in
that direct, manly way for which he is so
noted. Being the great apostle of tariff
reform, he states his views i'll command
ing English, which carry with them the
conviction OF their truth.
He then passes in review Inc f@Es@ oi!l,
currency, pensions. paternalism and
several minor public questions. His
manner of treating all these issues shows
the wisdom OF his nomination for the
national standard-bearer of the Demo
cratic hosts of America. aud cannot but

State News Of Cotton.

AUGUSTA, GA, September 26. In
South Carolina and Georgia the largest
grain crop since the war has been raised
this wear Consequently the cotton acre
age has been materially reduced. The
reduction for both States, at conserva-
tive estimate, is placed at from 20 to 80
per cent. In the Augusta cotton district
20 per cent is the reduction as compared
with the last crop. Forty per cent less
of fertilizer has been used than last year.
The present condition of the crop in this
section is not good because Of unfavora-
BILE seasons.
CHARLEsroN-Cotton is in fair condi-
ton. The quality so far is very good.
The yield will be at least l5 per cent
below that of last year.
NORFOLK. VA.-The cotton production
in Virginia is confined to few counties.
The acreage this year has been reduced
25 per cent. The plant is small and back
ward. With late autumn it may make
two-thirds of crop.
RALEIGH, n. C.-The cotton crop IN
North Carolina in the Eastern half of the
State last year was fairly good, while
that of the rest of the State was indiffer-
ent. The State agricultural bureau
stated the condition at s2t this year. The
crop in Eastern Carolina is poor. In the
central counties it is up on some planta-
tons. Where rain fell there will be a
good yield The State agricultural
bureau states the present condition at
67f, decline of nearly II points in con-
dition. Business men do not think the
decline in the condition is quite so gene
raj, but put it at not less than 10 points.
The acreage in this State was considera-
bly, reduced.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA.-The cotton crop
in this section of Alabama does not show
so great falling off compared with last
year as that in the cotton belt proper.
It is more than 10 per cent. In the rest
of the State, however, rains and floods
and rust combined to do great damage,
and the decrease may go nearly as high
as 20 per cent. 1t is possible that the
complaint of the farmers. may be exag-
gerating the damage, but the receipts SO
far bear out the worst predictions.

IOLal. .So,c%o,"f i,'1V
This table is of extraordinary import
ance. 1t shows that in the commercial
world to-day there is more silver money
in use than gold. Also that even gold
nations" like England and Germany,
cannot Danish silver from circulation.
But the silver nations are completely
free from gold curre1 icy.
France is to-day the most prosperous
nation on the globe, and France has 100
millions of silver against 900 millions Of
gold. The population Of France is about
one-half that of the United States, and
while she has 700 millions of silver cur
rency. we, the silver mining country,
have but 49, millions of silver (not two
thirds of that sum actually and then not
full legal tender.
The idea that nations using silver to
such an extent-and not producing it
could erpor. their silver to this country
and ''food'' us is most supremely ridicu-
lous. England is buyer of silver in
this market every day in the year-and
yet silver is there demontized. Last
year she took from US 10: millions of dol
lars in silver.

Don't be fool. Put on your fannels
as soon as they are needed. Don't do a
foolish thing in thinking that you are
hardening your constitution by wearing
insufficient clothing in the early fall.
The system at that time is very much
relaxed and is more sensitive to cold than
in the middle of winter. The heat of the
body must be kept up, and he who goes
out in cold weather without his coat or
without his fannels makes. an unneces-
sary draft on his vital powers. He had
better husband his vital resources and
not endanger his life by doing an idiotic
act. No man, or woman either, ought to
wear wet shoes. AS well put poultice
to the feet as wet shoes. Keep more
than one pair Of shoes, and keep rub
bers, too. And, young man, if you are
looking for wife, court a girl who has
sense enough to wear heavy shoes in
winter.
