Parsons, july 20.

Conespondence.-Politi were red hot in
Parsons to-day. The Republicans Of the
Eighth Congressional District met here to-
day for the purpose Of nominating candi-
date for Congress, and it was the largest and
most representative body Of Republicans
ever assembled in the district.
w, +. IIinkle, Of Hardin County, was nom
mated, after a spirited contest with P. H..
Thrasher, of Selmer, and other candidates.
Mr. Thrasher's name, however, was the only
other placed in nomination before the con-
vention. There was some OF the smoothest
manipulating and most ingenious tactics
brought into play by the champions of the
respective candidates that was ever seen in
this district before.
Hon. James Jefreys championed the cause
of Mr.. Hinkle against the field, and after put
ting through some very skilltul and we'll
planned parliamentary tactics, he had smooth
sailing in landing his man and having things
all his own way. Jeffreys was made perma-
nent Chairman of the convention.
Patriotic speeches were made by many
leading Republicans ofth district who were
in atte1deace and by all the defeated candi'
dates, who took their defeat as matter Of
course and promised their every support to
the nominee. The new Executive Commit
tee is an usually strong one, A. B. Mitchell,
of Saltillo, being its Chairman, and Bob Hin
kle, Of Savannah, its Secretary.

Growers are Cheerful.

From every cotton state we
have reports of encouraging and
promising conditions. Cotton
growers are cheerful over the out
look, and while few Of them are
anticipating any material advance
IN prices they are cOnsoled by
thought of a good yield Of cotton
and the splendid crops Of grain
made throughout t he South.
When the corn crop in the cotton
states is short the grover sees
hard times. 40 matter if the cot.
ton yields bountifully and prices
are profitable, the profits are con-
sumed, eat up, by reasons OF the
money he has to pay for corn and
fodder Corn is an essential to
the cotton grover Of the South;
without enough Of it or cheap corn
his splendid crop Of cotton and
good prices is not recompense,

Of better times for the cotton
growers of Texas than they have
enjoyed for many years. And

An exchange quoting from a
writer on the early history OF
Porto Rico, says that the men and
unmarried women wore no clothes
and the married women wore
aprons that descended to about
half the leg; besides this they
wore nothing save a few feathers
in their hair. The wives of the
chiefs wore aprons to their ankles
except on state occasions, when
they too dressed party style and
wore short aprons. To keep the
festive mosquito and his pals from
taking all underhold, they painted
their bodies abundantly with
much skill-to be well painted
was to be well dressed.
