no forgiveness How differently is

Ihese acts contained no exemption of

oi 1907. nor any other amends-
tory act availed of by the company.
1t will be noted that under the act of
1889, above referred to, the several

TO change the terminus from the city of
Raleigh "to some point at or near the
river Roanoke;;' and to own steamboats,
AS to two of these privileges, the
increase of the capital stock, and the
owership of the steamboats,, the court
says no privilege of exemption attaches.
Why is this2 Because these privileges
were not in the original contract-the
charter act of 1833-which alone con
tanned the exemption clause in its 10th
section. Then may we not fairly con
clude that inasmuch as the charter &C,
which gave authority to build to Raleigh
only exempted the property of the com
pany Of that road which was built tt
Raleigh? Isnot this view further con
flrmed when the court says: "These
Acts (the said act of 1885 beins
embraced) contained no exemption from
taxation?'

AN ESTIMATE OF THIS SEASON
YIELD.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Bradstreet's re
port on the cotton crop of 1928 says:
The cotton crop of 1892 will be short,
on this point there is unanimity of
opinion quite unsurpassed. Our advices
as to decreased cotton acreage published
last spring are fully corroborated. The
report of Bradstreet contains the sub
stance of results from 1885 correspon
dents in 871 cotton growing counties, an
average Of nearly three replies to each
county; in all covering about 95 per cent
of the cotton growing area in the United
States. Though weather during the
pickings of this year on the whole was
not as good as last year, it still was so
favorable for gathering the crop through
out q large area as to be worthy of no
tice. The fine showing made by the
Carolinas, Georgia and Florida is worthy
of note. In Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi
ana ard Texas the showing in this re
spect is good to fair. Tennessee enjoyed
fair weather. In Arkansas, however
complaints of cold, wet fall are almos
universal and this no doubt has had al
important influence on the yield. Start

following the coast west we find the mos
favorable answer to the questions as t

reports regarding picking weather. Tn
same is naturally true as to the quality
