to be spared from war, famine and
pestilence and all such whirlwiLds
of destruction. Now that 1t has
passed let us renew our attention TO
business. 1t becomes necessary that
business generally should be adjusted
on other linss. Our merchants viii
be able to buy at greatly reduced
prices, and they will also thereby be
enabled to sell at greatly reduced
prices, and the people OF this city and

the result of liberal advertising

COTTON ESTIMATES.
Experienced Cotton Dealers Say Neil's
Estimate Is Too High.

Houston, Tex, Nov. 9.-Cotton men
here who are familiar with cotton con.
ditions in Texas say Neil's estimate is
entirely too high. He makes the increase
in Arkansas 60 per cent, while it has
never yet been conceded by any extrem-
list too be 20 per cent. The crop in Texas,
it is thought, cannot possibly exceed
100000 bales, as no more per acre can
be grown than in 1891. Farmers have
been rushing their product to market
and they have never had better weather
for picking. The fields are we'll picked
out, fully 10 per cent being out, and the
greater portion of the cotton picked has
been marketed. Houston's receipts
since Sept. are 763,947 against 1,1O6,-
1914 for the entire year of 1893.
Reports from some of the large panta-
tons say that negro tenants who are in
debt to the planters and merchants for
sup plies advanced on their crops, are
abandoning the cotton fields entirely,
telling their creditors that they cannot
pay out, and giving them the unpicked
cotton. They go to other plantations
and hire out as pickers for cash. This
will have the effect of reducing the acre
age, as country merchants and planters
will not dare advance any more money
or supplies on cotton.

THE LETTER MR. CLEVELAND
NEVEN WROTE.

NEN EN w ROI E.
Partisan zeal had almost led us to
reprOach Mr. Cleveland ior not en-
tOrsing Senator Hill Tor governor
New York, but we are glad we d'd
not do it, for since the anxiety iol

by general defeat we have had time
to consider the subject without pre-.
judice. Mr.. Cleveland could not have
afforded to encourage the Democrats
Of New York 10 vote for MIR Hill
as that encouragement would have
been an endorsement of TammaUy
and its methods. The battle in New
York against Tsmmany was more
Than political. Ii WAS CON est OF
I the forces of truth and principle
against the basest prostitution OF OIL
oial position. 1t was Omhination
of the moral elements of that city
against all that was evil in munich
pal government and all that was con-
Eliminating and blighipg to social
lie. 1t was the sword of justice
striking off the heads Of men who
used their high place rs guardians of
peace and morality to protect the
most infamous barter of female virtue
for gold.
Tammany hall had, as it were,
concentered into one head all the
political evils that ever stained the
name of any city, and fortunate it was
that they were all decspitated with
one blow at that one head. 1t pre-
scented exactly the condition that the
reiormer wished tor when he said,
"Would that every enemy of the state
was combined in one head that |
might strike it off at a blOw.n No
people of any moral sentiment who
desired pure government and pTotec-

mittee has brought against Tsmmany
1t was not q party issue. Ii was an
issue upon the Gerry life Of municipal

abandonment of the city OF New YORK

The reunion at Shiloh on the

ball to rolling in which the seeds
of reconciliation for the Blue and
the Gray have been planted and
so we'll fortified that it's expansion
is sure to continue until the re-
hottest confines of this great ma
ton have heard of the good news.
The object of the association is a
noble one, and as it proposes to
give to those who wore the gray
the same privilege to enter the
grounds and erect monuments as
to those who wore the blue, every
body can lend a helping hand
These reunions are to occur on

Il. w. Sims, of Linden, Tenn,
announces himself a candidate for
Congress in this issue of our pa
per. He is so well known and so
highly esteemed by the people OF
this county, where he formerly
lived for many years that it seems
altogether unnecessary for us to
add our testimonial. Our people
know how he contended with pow
erty in early life and how by per-
seyerence he educated himself
and became one of the foremost
lawyers in our part of the country.
He is a strong Democrat, a man
of sterling integrity and great
ability. His political speeches
have been masterpieces of logic,
force and eloquence, and have
done efficient service for the
Democratic party on many occa-
sions. Tho party will not be I'M
mindful of what he has done and
of the bright promise he gives to
make an able representative in the
halls of Congress. His candidacy
is highly spoken of everywhere,
and his popularity with the peo-
nile of this county leads us to the
belief that he will get a very
liberal support in these parts.

To the Voters Ninth Judicial Circuit of Ten
nessee.
Being confined to the Court House all the
while is why write to you, and do not come
IN person to see you, TO announce | am a
candidate for reelection to the office of At
torney General.
1t has been the custom of the country to
give man second term if he performed
his duty well the first term, and made good
officer; and besides, an officer who has had
the office one term is better qualified to per-
form its duties than any new man-the best
service for the country is what the people de-
manipulating my claims on these and other
considerations, | earnestly request your valu-
able support, and will ever remember your
kindness in this respect.
Attention to my daily duties at the Court
must plead my fitness and faithfulness to the
office more than leaving the office to cleo
tioneer for my reelection.
A convention or primary will be held to
send delegates to judicial convention. My
claims are subject 10 the action OF the Demo-
cratic party, and if elected will as heretofore,
perform my duties promptly, and with kind
ness to all.
Hoping for the endorsement of yourself
and friends, am, Yours Truly,
