The Cotton Crop.

The New Orleans Picayune, Of a re-
cent date, says: Mr.. Henry Neill, tho
well-known cotton-crop authority, has
made public his estimate of the actual
Weld of cotton during the present year,
and it must be confessed that the size
of the figures is surprising. Mr.. Neill
believes that the crop win be 10,25O,o00
bales, of which Texas and Indian terri
tory will supply 2,93O,O00 bales.
Mr.. Neilps past record as crop au-
thority entities all his estimates to
serious consideration, and beyond a
question his opinion in the present in
stance will be given weight in Europe.
1t must be remembered, however, that
Mr.. Neill is not infallible, and some OF
his estimates in the past have fallen
far short of the mark.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that Mr..
Neill is radically wrong in the present
instance, and the Picayune believes
that he has actually been misled as to
the size of the crop. The publication.
of his estimate in Europe, however,
can not fail to do great injury to tho
cotton producers by lowering the price
of cotton, unless in the very near fu-
ture falling off in receipts creates
doubt abroad as to the accuracy Of Mr..
Neills forecast.

Reports from Harpersville, Shelby
county, Ala, tell of a riot at the polls
there, in which five men were shot.
The report says the riot started over
the challenging Of a negro's vote. A
negro attempted to vote for w. i.
Aldrich, republican, and he protested
against a challenge. Pistols were
drawn and shooting began. NJ. T..
Bates, democrat, and deputy sheriff,
was the first to be shot, and he was
mortally wounded. The negro was
also fatally wounded. John Flourney,
a prominent democrat, was seriously
shot, and James Pitts, populist, was
shot in the hand. Another democrat
was shot in the leg. Bates and the
negro will die. The greatest excite
ment prevailed the entire afternoon
after the riot.

Mrs. James Summers-Johnson the

many respects, being well known
throughout northern Virginia. She

by some of her descendants, the fourth
generation of which are living, and
the descendants of her former slaves.

The aggregate of Mrs. Johnson's
descendants is over 200, and they
are to be found in every state
in the Union. Three of her broth
ers emigrated from Virginia to diff
ferent parts of the United States and
each became county Judge. After
her marriage to Mr.. Summers she
lived in the same house more than
fifty years and buried two husbands
from it. Mrs. johnson enjoyed perfect
health during her entire life, was never
even troubled with headache, and un-
til ten years ago was able to read and
KNIT without the aid of glasses. She
was an old Ironside Baptist and had
great repugnance for everything that
she thought ought to be classed as
frivolity of life. The body was laid be-
tween the graves of two of her hus-
bands, in the old family burying
ground in Fairfax county.
