H COTTON CROP.

We have received from Latham,
Alexander & Co., Bankers and Cotton
Commission Merchants, 16 and Is Wall
st New York." an estimate of the
United States Cotton Crop of ~1697-1898.
Latham, Alexander 6 Co, we will say
are said to furnish as reliable esti
mates as to cotton and it's price as any
firm known. Their figures are, of
course, not perfectly accurate, but they
are doubtless as nearly so as any that
can now be obtained:
"Basing our calculations upon a n ex
haustive correspondence with all the
cotton growing countless in the Southern
States, reliable information secured
from individuals and from travellers
through the South, and upon the per.
centages of the crop marketed at mum
erous points, say they, the following is
our estimate Of the total yield. by

A FOOLISH MAN.

What would you think Of a man who
fights another man armed with a gun
with all modern improvements when
he himself has but a trifing cid bow
and arrow9 You would probably call
him a fool-perhaps something worse
You would laugh at him. And yet,
did it ever occur to you that the farmer
who refuses to in the Alliance Or
other farmers's organization is acting
just as foolishly2 He is trying to fight
the monopolists who have modern
well-supported organizations, when be
himself is alone, single.handed, using
the same weapons. we might say, which
were used by labor centuries ago.

o TILL A STORY.

A certain newspaper in RaIeigh-''it-
self an organized hypocrisy"-has had
much TO say about the employment, by
Gov. Russell, of counsel to assist the
Attorney General in the important
reilroad litigation pending in the courts,
in many respects the most important
that has arisen in the State during it's
existence. While the statutes do not
contemplate that the Attorney General
Of the State shall appear for the State
in ell matters where the State is inter
ested, as no provision is made for the
expense that would be necessarily in
Cured in so doing, and it would be i'm
possible to do so, and also to be in at
tendance upon the sitting of the Su-
preme court for about seven months in
the year, still one would think from
the wild statements made by the above
referred to newspaper, that not a cent
had been paid for extra legal services
prior to the present administration. A
cursory glance at the Auditors reports
shows that more than $46 600 were
paid out for additional legal help dur
ing the terms of Attorney General
Kenan, Davidson and Osborne. In
some instances it was probably properly
expended, as when the Attorney Gen
eral was not able to attend to the par,
ticular business by reason of pressing
public duties elsewhere; in many other
instances the Attorney General doubt
less could aud ought to have attended
to the same without the employment
of any other counsel. The statutes
authorizing the Governor to employ
Counsel were passed with a view to
giving the legal officer of the State as
sistance in cases Of great Importance,
in which it become necessary to secure
the ablest legal talent to be found to
meet the formidable array Of lawyers
against the State. But be all this as it
may, the examination of the Auditors
ports disclose the facts and lays bare
the contemplate and sneaking hypoc-
risy of certain Democratic lake, grind
ers" and ''oTgan- grinders"

TIME EXTENDED.

Ia 1898 the Inter. State Commerce
Commission passed an order requir
ing the railroad companies to place air
brakes and Other safety appliances
upon their freight cars for the better
protection of life. Recently the rail
roads asked for an extension of the
time allowed to compleCe the work.
Last week the Commission extended
the time two years OF course this
will meet with approval if the time
given was too short. But the Commits
sion should not fail to insist on a strict
compliance with the act of Congress
requiring the appliances. The numer-
Gus fatalities among railroad men by
reason of badly constructed cars should
be a sufficient i rc9ntive to the railroad
companies themselves in this matter.

Continuing, the letter says that
during the month of July the crop
generally promised we'll, and large est
mates of the yield were made, but in
August and September, adverse condl
tions prevailed and a marked deteriora
ton ACQUIRED. Drought was the princi
pal cause. During October and the
greater part of November favorable
weather was the rule, and the crop has
been materially increased thereby.
Although the crop vas planted late,
the drought forced cotton to early ma
turity, and correspondents say up
to this date the crop has been marketed
rapidly.

The clipping from Farmers Voice,

contains some food for thought. The
writer of it speaks a truth, which,
while not generally recognized as such,
is none the less the truth when he says
that a broader and more inviting
field is open to intelligent farmers than
to any other class in this country"
The time has come when the unscien-

their study. For such men there is
really a broad and inviting field.
