The Cotton Crop-Prices Going Up.

The Cotton CrOp-Prices Going Up.
This newspaper is being impressed with the
fact that the cotton crop will be very short.
The indications now are that the price will
20 much higher. We may have eight cents
cotton before Christmas. But, Of course, it is
possible for the price to 60 lower than 1t Is at
present.
The future Of cotton is something that no
living mortal has yet been able to foresee,
and the wisest man In America may in his
predictions miss the mark as tar as the least
experienced observer.
We wish 1t distinctly understood that we
give no advice TO anybody in reference 10 the
selling Of his cotton. We are now, however,
satisfied that the crop will be small one.
AS to whether this fact shall affect the price
the reader Is as able 10 judge as we are.
In all lines Of mining and manufacturing
the prices have gone very high, aud the mines
and the machinery are taxed 10 their fullest
limit. This being true 1t would seem that
agricultural products may rise in price, and
thus equalize everything.

The Price OF Cotton.

The Greenville News very naturally made
mistake in quoting the price of middlng
cotton In Atbeville. Cotton in Abbeville as
in Greenville had sold higher than the price
noted for the quality named. There is a
grade Of cotton which sells higher than mid
ding. Cotton, as we understand, is sold on
basis Of middling, while the different grades
are higher or lower. as the circumstances may
warrant.

Quite a lot Of oats has been sown during the
month OF September. The demand for seed
has been greater than usual.
The indications point to larger crop OF
wheat than has been planted for many year.
Some wire fencing has gone out OF town,
and more attention will be paid to cattle
raising.
Fall gardening will receive attention.

OUR DEEP WE'LL.
The Supply of Water is Reasonably
Good

The air compressor has been put in our
deep we'll, and all the water is being brought
One hour and sixteen minutes flow of the
we'll fills the reservoir. Or in other words {:
In rs minutes 5000 gallons of water is drawn
from the well-about one hundred and
twenty gallons per minute.
This Is about twice as much water as we
formerly got by the pump. While the supply
is not as great as we could wish, yet. by eco
nomical use, the city may be very well sup
piled for ordinary uses. -
It Is likely that all irrigating contracts will
be Withdrawn, and that hereafter flowers and
vegetables must 60 without water from the
well.
In case there should be water for irrigation
purposes meters will be put in, and the
charges will he by the thousand gallons.

A Pile Driver.

An old grey whiskered Chinaman
was charged in the District Court
this morning with having opium in
possession. He produced certifi-
cate from the government physician
showing that he was entitled to a
certain amount of the contraband
goods. He was in possession of
more than his certificate called for
and claimed that the extra dose was
due to the fact of his possession"
Of piles. The Judge referring to the
piles feared that the "wharves"
might enter similar plea and the
officials be seriously hampered in
their work, and he piled up the fine
to the tune of $50, expressing the
hope that the old Pile (atus) will
make test case and it be finally
settled whether the Government dis
pensary is dspensary for opium
ad Rbitun.

He Is Crazy.

Sam Killaa was sent to the Insane
Asylum by order of the District
Magistrate this morning. The man,
who is 78 years of age, is very mad
indeed. He believes that he has re-
ceived a message from Washington
stating that arrangements have been
made for the return of Queen Liliu-
okalani and that her restoration is
the order of the day. The old man
was quite violent in uphoIding his
ideas, and it became necessary to
lock him up.
