THE COTTON CROP.

Liverpool has been trying very hard to
keep down the price of American cotton,
and has dscountenanced recent reports
that the crop is to be short. But indica-
tions now are that Liverpool will wake
up some morning TO find that these re-
ports are correct. and that an advance
in price is Irresistible
We have been reading closely the re-
ports in the newspapers OF South Caro-.
lima. Georgia. Mississippi. Louisiana, and
Texas. and unless our contemporaries are
utterly unreliable. the growing crop has
been damaged by drought on the one hand
and too much rain on the other. and
while fairly large crop will BE- harvested.

Tom Watson IS out in an interview in
which he says that by the time the fall
campaigns begin there will not be a silver
Democrat in the country, as men holding
silver views will be compelled to walk in
to the Populist ranks and leave the old
party organization 10 the gold men.
1t did look that way at one time. But II
will not be. The Democrats VIII aban-
don free silver and return to the princi-
pies Of the fathers. We put our predic-
ton against that OF Mr.. Watson.

we quite agree and that IS why The
Times urges that the advocates OF the
primary plan for the selection Of our
senatorial nominees go in heart and soul
for a Iegalized primary. II the proper
effort is made, such law can be gotten
through the next Legislature.

Bossism seems TO be very unpopular IN
the State OF Maryland, not only in the
Democratic party. but in the Republican
party as well. The Democrats retired Mr..
German because Of his determination to
boss the party and Senator Wellington
has been severely reprimanded by the
Republicans for the same reason. This
IS an indication Of better things in Ameri-
can politics.

yesterday a remarkable cane which had
been brought from Nelson county. 1t
was at It's thickest part about three
inches In diameter and was somewhat
over three feet in length. In appearance
II looked as IL a good big piece Of tim
Der had been taken. smoothed on, and
then twisted into the shape OF a spiral
column, with the numerous convolutions
winding about central axis with perfect
regularity. This wonderful cane, how
ever. was not fashioned by the hand OF
man. but was formed in natures work
shop. a little old field pine and honey
suckle vine began 10 grow at about the
same time. and the vine growing stouter
with passing years, twisted itself about
the trunk OF tree The strong stem Of
the vine kept the body OF the tree from
expanding but in between the coils Il
bulged out and gained healthy growth.
When the tree was cut down. the vine
was removed. and thus the remarkable
stick was obtained. -Lynchburg News.
