1sham G.. Harris, of Tennessee.

4SQam ". ndrr1S, OF tennessee.
W.T.. Hale, in Memphis Commercial-Ap
I believe Hon. Isham G.. Harris is
not only doing himself an injury in
not writing his life, but doing the
future an irreparable wrong in with
holding certain facts that can now be
gained from no other source. Iwould
that this would cause him to decide
to 60 to work on his autobiography.
What an interesting thing it would
be-a fortune, too, for his family and
publisher. Blaine, Webster, Clay,
Summertime life of none of these
would compare with it in interest,"
Beginning public life before 1916, he
knew Calhoun and Clay and Benton
and Webster and Jackson when he
was old enough to comprehend their
motives and appreciate their actions
as public men. His memory of these
would make volume, and be of ab-
sorbing interest.
Coming on down toward the pres
ent, he was the compeer of William
L. Yancy, Wigfall, Slidell, Stephens,
Toombs, Andrew johnson and the
great men of war times. What tale
he could unfold of those years -
What vivid emotions could be awak.
ened if he would tell of his associa-
ton with Emperor Macmillan, of his
stay in Europe, of his adventures at
Liverpool when he and Judah P. Ben
jamin, Yancey and Slidell-some of
the greatest men of any time-were
almost on the verge of starvation -
Then, leaving the semi-romantic,
would we not be glad to know what
he knows of the inside of the Conk-
ling-Blaine feud, and of how he but
recently originated a plaza scheme
of some kind-wbieh averted the con-
summation Of one of the most diabol-
ical measures that ever threatened the
South or any nation?
Trnly, Isham G. Harris is to-day
one OF the most prominent figures of
the world. There is slowed away in
his mind some of the greatest Incl
dents of American history-if given
to the world properly, it's attention
would be attracted to him from every
other event or theme, and his great
ness, his wonderful part in the forma-
ton of existing policies and condi.
tons, would be at once realized. And
when bordering on what he has done
In half a century-and that, too,
without awakening slandsr from any
responsible source-one can not but
wonder at the gall of certain Demo-
Gratis endeavorins to impeach his mo-
tives at present and to doubt his
capacity to lead. In his lexicon there
never has been such word as fail
and there never will be

About 300 head of cattle were

The Judge says every indication
points to the Kansas City, Watkins
and Gulf Railroad coming to Shreve-

day.
1t is not as dry down in Avoyelles
as it is up here in Bossier. It is
stated that more turnip seed was
sown during last week than for years
before.
Fifty-fve hundred bales of cotton
were shipped from Oak Ridge, More
house parish last season. The most
conservative estimate for this year is
$500 bales.
Within the last two years nearly
or quite 200 miles of highway or
road has been laid out and worked
in Calcasieu parish, and the work OF
improving the roads is still progress
ing.
Shreveport Judge, Monday: Last
nights temperature (46 degrees) is
the lowest on record for September
at Shreveport during the past "a
years, the next lowest being Al de-
gress in 1881.
In the District Court of Vermilion
parish last week there were thirty
four sentenced to the parish jail
Over twenty of those sent to the
parish prison we're persons who had
violated the road law by refusing to
work the public roads when called
upon to do so by the overseer.
The Avoyelles correspondent of the
Louisiana Planter says: cit begins
to appear as if Avoyelles was trying
to compete with the celebrated corn
land bordering on the Wabash river,
of Indiana and Illinois; but be that
as it may, there is no gainsaying tie
fact that it takes fat corn cribs to
make a country prosperous. New
corn is offering to-day as low as 30
cents a barrel, and will, it is expect
ed, 60 as low as Is cents per barrel
by the close of this month"

The Cotton Crop.

most entirely to q shortage in the
crop. 1t is predicted that the price
of cotton will reach 10 cents before
many weeks. But with the short
crop the money which cotton, even
at 9 cents, will bring into the cotton
States will be more than $4O,0O0,O00
greater than last year, when the crop
was full 100000 bales. Stats
tics compiled on last years crop show
that the money it brought back to
the planters was but a tritie over
$2,5OO,0O0. This year the crop is
estimated by Mr.. Lane, who is well
posted, at 6,5OO,OoO bales. It may
not reach over 100000, and it may
possibly 60 as high as 6,7O0,Ooo.-
But take MIR. Lanes estimate as a fair
one, the crop will, at 8 cents, bring
the planters 1892, 100000.
Statistics show that about 60 per
cent of the cotton raised in the Unit
ed States is consumed abroad. That
means close to $lsO,OOO,OOO, which
foreign countries will have to pay for
their share of cotton. Europe is
shorter on cotton than any other one
commodity and is shorter even than
New England.
Jerome Hill, a well-known cotton
factor, who has but recently returned
from an extended trip through Mis-
sissippi, Alabama and Tennessee, in
speaking on the outlook last Sunday,
said to representative of the St.
Louis Republic:
II have only been back from the
South few days and I find the con-
dition there such as I have hoped to
see for years. The situation can be
briefly summed up in this: Five
cent bacon; 25-cent corn, and 81 and
9 cent cotton. The first two products
are the things the South consumes
and the last is what the South has to
SELL Now, with provisions cheap and
their salable products high, the cot
ton States are in a most fourishing
condition. I make a prediction right
here and you will certainly see it YER
lied to the effect that before the close
of the century you will see rise in
the price of realty in the South of
fully so per cent.
Nov, as to the cotton crop, I
believe Mr.. Lanes estimate is about
right. Last year there was between
100000 and 100000 bales. In
no place in the South is there less
than five-eighths of a crop, and in
many places there is three-quarters.
That, you see, would certainly bring
the number Of bales up to 6,50O,OO0,
possibly up to 100000. While the
crop is short the reserve stock is also
short; so that look for the market
TO continue advancing. Surely the
cotton planter is the best fixed man
in the country to-day"
Col. Hector D. Lane. President of
the American Cotton Growers Pro
tective Association, in an interesting
issued last Saturday says !
no such weather has ever before
been seen in the cotton districts He
puts the cotton crop Of Texas at
|, 100000 bales, or less, and says the
crop this year will not exceed $780,
300 bales. He advises the planters
10 hold on to their eotton-that un-
Ter present crop and trade conditions

Captain Thomas White.

The death of Captain Thomas
White, which occurred at his resi-
dence in Wellsburg. on the morning
of Thursday, August Is, at the ripe
old age of over 80 years, removes
prominent landmark. He came to
Wellsburg at very early date and
lived here most of his long life, one
of our best and most respected citi-
zens. He was an old time shoe
manufacturer and dealer and for
many years did quite an extensive
business, but for a number of years
past has been living retired and for
several years pretty much unable to
leave his room. In August 1862,
he occupied himself in enlisting re-
cruits for Company X, 18th West
Virginia Infantry. and shortly
after the organization of the COM
pany, he was elected captain. His
military service was very creditable,
but his age, 81 at the time, was
against him. His health afterward
failed and during his latter years
he was sorely afflicted, which afflic-
ton he bore with resignation truly
Christian. He was since his early
manhood a member of the M. 4.
church at Wellsburg, and always
lived a consistent Christian. He
leaves quite family of grown up
children, his wife having preceded
him, April ~, 1886, aged 81. De-
ceased was a brother to the late
Richard..White, of Selbysport, this
county, where a number of his de-
scendants now reside. He was also

and Mrs. G. G. Michaels, of Mt.
