Hector d. Lane, President of
the American Cotton Growers
Protective Association. before
leaving for Galveston last night
issued circular to Southern cot
ton growers.
Mr.. Lane says:
New Orleans, Sept. 7, 1895.
To the Southern Cotton Grow
ers:-In the discharge of my duty
TO you as the president of
your association | have personally
examined the cotton crop in all the
cotton States, as far as one man
can reasonably do such thing,
and have received many commu
nications from entirely reliable
/ sources in every part OF the South
ern cotton region.
The crop is nowhere above, and
in all, save few favored localities
is below the average. All possl-
bic causes, except frost, have COM
bined to produce this result, the
causes varying with the locality
drought, rust, boil worms, army
worms, excessive rains and she'd
ding. 1t is generally three weeks
late, and in such condition that
frost at the average frost date
would be disastrous, and before
that time a calamity. The plant
is notably deficient IN fruit, and
the bolls are small and badly de.
yeloped.
] do not pose as statistisclan,
and no one but a reckless guessel
can make any accurate forecast Of
the size of the crop before frost
but, from my knowledge of presen
crop conditions, venture the
opinion that this crop cannot in
any in any event exceed 1000, ooe
white 6, 500, 900 bales is by NJ
means improbable.

will be ample and that eve

In my humble Judgment. if til
consumers of cotton here an
abroad believe that the maximum

the strong probability of its bein
below that figure, there would b

Kosciusko, Miss, Sept. 10. '95.
HoN. FRANK JOHNSTON, Jackson,
Miss.
Dear Sir: Please pardon us for
again writing to you about q mat
ter Of public concern.
The Board OF Supervisors of
Attala county some months ago
exercised the powers conferred
upon them by section 36o5 OF the
Code of 1892. a few months ago
for the convenience OF the electors
in different portions of the county,
they changed the boundaries of the
election districts by proper order
and notified the commissioners OF
election of the changes so made.
Now the question that comes be-
fore the commissioners is this:
Can they at any time before the
election transfer the names OF the
qualified electors in the new dis
tricts so made without them being
formally registered over again ?
We think there is no doubt what
ever OF their authority to do So
and as the question is a simple
one we would like for you to an
swer on the reverse side OF thl'
sheet your opinion on the subject
Your friends truly,
DODD & ARMISTEAD.
The Kosciusko star. (Kosciusko, Miss.) 18??-1898, 1895-09-13
The Reply.

Gentlemen-l agree with you
that the commissioners OF election
have authority at any time before
the election to cause the reglstra-
ton books to be changed in con
formance with the change of dis
tricts. | do not think that persons
already registered are required to
re-reglster.
Very truly yours,
FRANK JOHNSTON.
Attorney-General.

OBITUARY.
''In the midst of life we are in DEATH"
Never did these words come to COM
munity with more force than they did
in the sudden death of Mrs. DR.. Roberts
last week Tuesday evening. Seldom has
one come to live among us who has
such warm place in the hearts of all as
did she who has just gone. She was ever
an earnest christian, and Jealous to work
in the cause of the master. Mrs. Rob.
erts was the president Of the society Of
Christian EndeavOr, and her place there
will be hard to fill, and we feel
that we cannot submit to this dispense
tion of providence and our hearts
will go out in sympathy to this stricken
and sOrrOwing husband.
The funeral services were held at her
home Friday afternoon at two o'clock.
They were conducted by Rev. Gray, Of
Spencer. Her casket repOsed amid the
floral emblems which were beautiful and
fit representations Of the one just passed
away. The Sunday-shOOl class Of little
girls, whose sorrow at the loss of loved
teacher seemed more than they could
bear, followed the casket with the Christ
ian Endeayors to the depot where they
awaited the four o'clock train for the
east, going to Antwerp, N. Y, her former
home. Her husband and brother and
sister from Chicago accompanied the re-
mains.
