The question of a successor to Hon.
j. Taylor Ellyson, in the event he de,
clines to continue longer as chair
man of the Democratic State Com
mittee, is now being discussed by the
politicians and the names of Senator
Thomas Martin and Hon. Peter J .
Otey are mentioned in that connec
ton. Either would, perhaps fill the
place acceptably to the people of
Virginia, but as both might be open
to suspicion OF using the place to
further their own political aspira-
tions, they would prefer probably,
that some one else. be called
to the leadership of the party
Some one ought to be selected,
OF whom there could be no suspicion
that he had an axe to grind" and
might use the position for that pur
pose.

The prospects of Hon. J. Taylor
Ellyson are somewhat brighter than
they were few days ago, but are not
sufficiently rosy yet, to indicate that
he might be the next Governor. He
has captured of late fifty delegates
or mc1e, but Major Tyler is still far
in the lead and needs only about 375
delegates to give him the nomination.
Mr.. Ellyson and his friends, however,
it is stated, are very far from giving
up the fight for the Gubernatorial
nomination and insist that the coun
ties yet to be heard from will give
them a majority of the delegates.

At a meeting at Tammany Hall on
In dependence Day, the reading of a
letter from Mr.. Cleveland was re-
ceived with misses, but Mr.. Bryan's
was greeted with cheers. Mr.. Cleve-
Ind being an invited guest, his letter
sh ould have been treated with more
courtesy, and the Tammanyites gave
an exhibition of bad manners in act
ing as they did. But Tammany Hall
democrats, like most of the demo
Gratis of the country, seem to be i'm
pressed with the idea that he is no
longer one of their number and to be
unable to Withhold expressions OF con-
tempt for him on any and all occa-
sions. He declined the invitation,
perhaps, because he no longer feels
at home among democrats A mis-
take was made in inviting him to be
present on the occasion.

The Roanoke Times says; 1.-THE

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN,

Washington, Sept. 15.-The weekly 8 a. n., Sept. IS, 1897:
 The week has been excessively hot and for the most part dry in nearly all sections east of the Rocky mountains would have been most favorable to corn, but in most of the important corn states the crop more particularly the late planted, has suffered seriously from drought and is being prama ture.y rlpan- ed Much of the crop is now safe from frost and cutting has begun in the more northerly sections. In Nebraska recent rains will improve late corn, and with favorable conditions in Iowa, during the next two weeks some of the late corn will make fair yield, the early crop hav- ing been rapidly ripened under the ex- cessive heat of the past two weeks, with some detriment to quality. In Kansas most of the early corn has been cut and the late planted is suffering from drought. Subsequent weather condi- tions win have but little effect upon the crop in Missouri, where it has been seriously and permanently injured.
 Cotton has generally suffered further injury during the past week, and its gen eral condition is less favorable than re- ported in the previous bulletin. Marked detororation is reported from the Caro- linas, Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas and Oklahoma. Heat and droubht over the greater part of the cotton belt has stop- ped growth and caused premature open ing shedding, while rains in Florida have retarded picking. Scattered heavy rains have also interefered with picking in portions of Texas and caused slight damage by washing out open cotton in places, but improved the crop, which is still growing. In portions of southern and central Texas late cotton and the top crop over northern Texas, will not mature unless frost is unusually late. Cotton has opened freely throughout the cotton belt; picking has made rapid

LITTLE ANXIETY FELT.
Montgomery's Excellent Condition Makes Yel-
 low Fever Slightly Feared.
Special to The Ags-Herald.

Special to The Age Herald.
 Montgomery, Sept. 15.-The three new cases of yellow fever reported from Mo- bile last night have served to create 0 good deal of excitement here. Mobile has been, until yesterday, in such di- rect communication with this city that very natural nervousness exists here.
 All persons who are known to have been in Mobile within twenty days are being made to leave the city, and if precautions count for anything, Mont gonery will escape. Practically all in- teligent persons are agreed, however, that yellow fever can get no foothold here. The city is too clean the water too pure and the sewerage too nearly perfect. There arc no ponds nor stand ing water hereabouts. The old cypress pond which very greatly influenced the spread of the disease here in 1873, has long ago been drained and dried. In '73 the water supply was taken from sllan- low wells. Now it comes from deep ar tesian wells. Thsn the sewerage of the city was very imperfect, the surface sewerage even being indifferent, and the unpaved streets absorbed and held the filth, decay and disease. A splendid sys- tenn of the Warjng patent sanitary sewers is now in use.
 Very few people appear to be leaving here, and while there is considerable talk and excitement, th;re is really very little anxiety apparent.

The officers statements of the condition of the association will be thor oughly investigated and every book and paper in the house will be examined Last month several shareholders of Ma con, Ga, instituted proceedings to force the association into the hands of re- ceiyer.
