The New Orleans Cotton Exchange
has issued circular setting forth that
IN view OF the numerous complaints
during the current season of in.
sufficient covering of American cotton
and the inferior quality of bagging
used, which have led to much loss and
damage to cotton in transit from the
plantations to the mills. and the fact
shat such loss must have fallen upon
the growers OF cotton, it joins heartily
IN any and all efforts looking to much
needed improvements,
In relation to the quality of bag
Bing, the experience of the current
neason demonstrates the absolute ne.
ceaHlty for material OF ct least two and
Two and half pounds per yard, closely
woven and caleudered to q sufficient

farmers and shippers of cotton from
the interior, the absolute necessity for
compliance with the suggestion and
She inevitable fact, that if 1t IS not
needed, allowances for loss in weight
ana extra expense incurred in trans
poftstion must lead to O serious cur
ssIimens of profits, if not positive losses.
To baggng manufacturers the circu.
lar remarks that if they continue to
place upon the market the fiimsy mate
rial furnished during the past few sen
sons, they are likely to have much of
thelr stock thrown back on their hands.

HAS IRE >"Uras a CHANCE,

1t Is very kind IN the Washington
Post to advocate Southern man for
tho Presidency, and it is quite certain
that oil Southerners will appreciate its
advocacy, but after all, has the South
chance to secure the prize, Is n uues
ton about which there is great diver
sity Of opinion. There are many nble
and patriotic men in the South who
would do honor aud credit to the posi-
ton, and in truth there is no valid
reason why Southern man should not
be made the Chief Magistrate of tho
country, but has the time come when
| such dessderatum can be reached, is
the question.
There IS more true Americanism in
the South than any other section of the
United Statcs-more genuine patriot.
ISM, more ludlcious conservatism, aud
! as much ability, and could Southern
man be elected, it would be great
thing for the country at large, but that
Sontherner could reach the goal, no
matter how able, how pure, how patri-
II
otto, how qualified by the highest aud
broadcast statesmanship, is matter
much to be doubted. 1t would be a
great thing for thorough unity OF
country, aud as the highest and most
positive proof that sectionallsm was
buried forever, If citizens OF the South
should be elevated to the seat of the
Chief Executive of tue country, to
again preside Gin the home of our
fathers" but also, moro is the pity, the
time is not yet when this result can be
accomplished. That it may come, free
from all sectional aspirations and divis.
ions, is the hope of every lover of the
republic who knows no North, no
South. no East, no West, but d united
and happy country.

his son, nephew OF Edgar E. Lucken-
back, of Norfolk, Va, in tow OF the
ocean tug w. A. Luckenback, intending
to proceed thence by the inland passage
to Key West under her own steam.

Drought Damaging Late Crops.
WASHINGTON, Sept. "a The weather
bureau In Its report OF weather crop
conditions for the week ended Septem-
Der 90, says: This Is the second sue
cessive week Of phenom aaally warm
weather over most OF the country east
OF the Rocky mountains, with On entire
absence OF rain over much OF the CEN
tral valleys, Atlantic Coast and Gulf
States. Corn, except small part of
the late crop in Ohio and Indisna is
now safe from frost. The weather GOA
aitions OF the week have been generally
favorable for outing and gathering
corn, which work is in general progress.
Inc warm, dry weather has also been
favorable for cotton picking, which has
made good progress. The reports gem
orally show that cotton has opened rap
idly during the week, and that the ex-
oeedingly warm and dry weather has
forced the young bolls 10 open prema-
turely. Complaints of damage by in
sects have continued to decrease. While
the growth OF late tobacco has been
checked by drought, the warm, dry
weather has bsen very favorable for
housing and curing
Throughout the Middle Atlantic
States, and generally in the Ststes of
Ohio and Central Mississippi valleys,
fall blowing and seeding have been
much delayed, owing to drought, and
general rains in these sections are much
needed to place the soil in condition for
this work. Freezing temperatures &C
CURED throughout the Central and
and Northern Rocky Mountain regions,
which, with snow to considerable depth
in portions OF Idaho. Wyoming and
Colorado, put an end to the growth of
vegetation generally In that region. and
caused much injury, especially to fruit
trees, in Utah and Colorado.
The following special kilograms were
received by the weather bureau this
morning from the various State weather
services:
Virginia = Richmond: Excessively
hot, dry weather, making crop condi-
lions critical; ground baked; pasture
burning up; no fall blowing or seeding
done; fodder mostly saved, but some OF
1t poor from firing; tobacco cutting and
curing progressing; crop generally in
fair condition; many farmers feeding
and watering stock.
North Carolina-Raleigh: Very alb
normal unfavorsble week, with intense
heat glaring sunshine and uubroken
drought; cotton opening prematurely,
late blossoms and small bolls shedding;
turnipsr potatoes and peanuts suffering
from drought and fsll blowing i'm DOS
sible; rice harvest under way.
South Carolina-Columb ia: Excessive
heat and no rain favored cotton picking,
but young bolls a-e opening prema-
turely, growth having stopped; good
harvest weather for all crops; too dry
for growing crops or fall seeding.
