MR. EDIToR:-I have just re- eeived a letter from my friend, Miss M. Logan Weatherford, Prin. of the Art Department of Harri- man University, informing mo of the death, on the 26th ult., of Prof. z. J. Price, former Prlnci- pal of our city graded school. Sad news, indeed, to his Monti- cello friends! A bright light has gone out; a noble man has fallen; an humble christian, ripe schol- ar, an earnest teacher, brilliant, cultured, versatile, in the very flush and bloom of his power and his plans, he has been called to his reward. His death was trium' phant. Surrounded by his fami- ly and his friends, with all the ministrations that loving hands could offer, he gently felt on sleep, ana his peaceful spirit plumod it's flight to that land
 Where everlasting spring abides
 And never withering flowers.
 With a sad spirit and a mourn ful heart, l lovingly pen this briet tribute to the memory of my deal friend.

 edly being made to handle eHrren- cy legislation in tue intere-t of bondholders. The bondholding class learned from the collapse ot the Stewart syndicate that the market premium is likely to fall considerably if q currency system is adopted which will let loose the bonds held now to secure bank notes. The holders are dis. satisfied with the prospect and are turning every gun under their command on the Carlisle plan. FalSehood and sophistry are burst ing out in | hundred newspapers. The tiercest days of the protee- tionist war against tariff reform are recalled by the roar of the bond proteetionist press.
 As vested righe the tariff pro teeuonists exacted tribute from the trade ot the country from 1862 to 1894.
 Bond rrotectiomsts aud silver minors quarrel sometimes, but they are together in claiming con trol of the peoples currency as vested right. No currency unless 1t maintains q market for bullion, say the mine owners. No currency unless it provides bond market, say the bond owners. No currcn. cy which admits the smaller banks to the note issueing privilege, say the national bankers.
 Mine owners, bond owners and national bankers are exercising he nsnal habit of men in protect ing their own interests. It would be unjust to blame them severely. What justice to the general public requires is ring ing statement from the chief exc ca,ivc which will aeecntnate the truths of the currency question and tell the people why the fero ciods attacks on the Carlisle plan have multiplied so amazingly within the past two weeks.

THE CROPS OF THE COUNTRY.
The Drought has Greatly Injured Get
ton and all Fall Crops.

WASHINGTON, D O., Oct. 1.-THE
Weather Bureau in its report of crop
conditions for the week ended Sept. 80,
says:
The heavy frosts of the week have
caused no injury to the corn crop, which,
as previously reported, is now fully ma
tured and no l-nger exposed to injury
by frost. The weather Conditic rs have
continued favorable for cutting and
gathering corn, which work has made
rapid Roadway.
Tobacco has been cured In fine condi-
ton in Maryland and Indiana, and but
little remains to DO cut in Virginia and
Ohio In Kentucky the heavy frost on
the 30th. caused considerable injury to
late fields, and, to some extent, damaged
housed tobacco.
Under generally favorable weather
conditions cotton picking has progressed
rapidly, except over Central and South
west Texas, where rains have slightly
retarded work and lowered the grade of
cotton. Alabama and Mississippi re-
port cotton all open, and reports from
Alabama and Florida indicate that pick
ing will be completed 10 these States
by October 18th TO goth. In the Caro-
lnas and Tennessee the crop has been
injured by drought.
The following special kilograms were
received by the Weather Bsreau this
morning from the various weather SER
vices:
Virginia Richmond No abatement
of the drought; season closes with pas
lures bare; minor crops suffering tor
rain, and small streams drying up; most
of the tobacco, late corn and fodder Sc
cured; fall p.owiug and seeding much
later than usual, owing to drought.
North Carolina-Raleigh First five
d 4ys Of week extremely warm, followed
by cooler, with frost in mountain sec
tions; drought undated, injuring cotton
and all fall crops; streams and wells
very low; no fall plowing done.
South Carolina Columbia: HIT fol-
lowed by cool weather and no rain;
favorable for picking cotton, but drought
has cut off top crop largely; rice harvest
nearly finished, yield satisfactory; fall
root crops and peas very poor, owing to
drought; ouch hay being made.

They Want Cneap Cotton,

Wilmington Star.
There is one feature in the agitation
for the expansion of the volume of the
currency which has not attracted as
much attention as il should, and yet it
isa cry important feature Practically
speaking, the agitation might be called
sectional. although it is not strictly go,
the South and the West, the great
agricultural sections, contendi1g for an
enlargement OF the volume and for
the free coinage of silver as one
of the means TO that end, the Mid
die and Eastern States opposing 1t
and contending that we have money
enough The former demand the in
crease in the currency because they be-
lieve that this will result in raising the
prices of farm products, the latter OPP
pose it because they are greater con
sumers than producers and are therefore
interested in keeping the prices down.
Five cent cotton and fifty cent wheat
suit them much better than ten cent
cotton and dollar wheat, for the former
means not only cheap raiment and cheap
bread, but it means also that the South
and the West must continue to be Dor
rowers, and to be dependent upon the
money -centers of the East for the money
they need.
