third quarter being done at two minute

Ryland t was good second choice in
the second heat, some thinking he was in

he got away behind, but went out to do
battle from the half, going the third quar-
ter in 80 seconds. With all that he could

season, and the practical saving of the
entire crop. There is a striking con-
trast between replies as to ultimate
Yields this year compared with last.
Last year 80 per cent. of the replies re-
ceived indicated a decrease, and the
total yield fell off 2. 500, 900 bales. This
year only 55 per cent. of the replies as
t. yield indicate a decrease, while a
much larger number report an increase
this year than last. Replies by States
as to yield show a particularly heavy
falling off from last year in South Car
Ina and in Texas, while noticeable In
creases are announced from Alabama,
Mississippi and Arkansas. Causes OF
the decrease in South Carolina In spite
of a literally increased acreage, are
said to be the great storms In August,
which swept the eastern and western
portions of that State, and also did
much damage in North Carolina and
Georgia. From Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana and Texas, the increased
acreage is due to better prices, and the
planting of land which vas overlooked
last year has been offset In some degree
by extreme hot, dry weather, from
June to August, with some damage by
worms. From these States, too (while
it is admitted the crop has been gath
ert d clean and free from dirt9, reports
of a short and less satisfactory staple
are numerous.
Reports that the bales are lighter
this year than last come from most all
sections. A summary of the returns
received indicates that the total cotton
crop of 1993-I94 will approximate
6, 600, 600 bales,

which appears in this issue. Hehas one
of the finest and best bred herd of
Jersey COWS 10 the country. He is now
making an average of 10 pounds of
butter per week, and part of the herd
are two year-old heifers. In buying
blooded stock of any kind, it is safer
to buy from reliable home breeders, as
the blood is just as fine and you are
not as likely to lose your stock, they

YOU see in the future9 The aneWer
given by some that the ''recuperative
powers of the American people" will
pull us through is unsatisfactory and
unproductive of hope. No farmer can
pay debts by selling cotton at $50 to
&c. neither a a manufacturer run
his mills unless he can sell his products.
The great mass of the people r with
out money, unable to purchase the
product of the looms; yet three fourths
of them have not a second suit Of
clothes wherewith to make a change If
caught in a rain storm. The people of
North Carolina are not alone In this
condition. But distress is CO extensive
with the Southern States. How long
will the people be content in this con
dition9 They have been called "calam-
ity howIers" and probably they were,
they certainly had occasion to howl.
With a contracted currency, every In
dustry p~aralyzed, the government does
not let UP in it's tax demands, but re-
quires the same tale of bricks and that
without straw. This species of rule is
well calculated to engender ~restlessness
and discomfort, and is the best means
to inaugurate revolution. Our people
were not born to be slaves, and they
know when patience ceases to be a
virtue. It may be necessary in the
near future to increase the standing
army, if peace is to be preserved in the
Conquered Provinces j. B. Alec
