enforcement of the dispensary law in
Charleston is rough and knotty
problem. 1t ought to be enforced
there, out how is it to be He who
answers that question is modern
Solomon" One Of the reasons why
the dispensary law is not enforced in
Charleston is discreditable TO the pub
lie sentiment in that city, for the fact
has been alleged and admitted from
the beginning tha. Charleston was to
be recognized as an exception to the
general rule. Public opinion there
has been encouraged from the outset
to accept the theory that the dispen-
sary law was Incompatible with
Charleston's traditions, interests aud
surroundings, and hence the viola,
tions of the law are looked upon as
more virtuous than it's enforcement

The Recent Rains in Texas.

To the Editor of the News and
Courier (: Having seen so much writ.
ten about the cotton crop, and SO
much wild speculation as to the re,
suit of the recent rains in Texas and
their beneficial effect upon the crop
of that State, and having had prac-
tical experience Of ten years in grow
ing the plant, will venture to say e
few words en- this subject.
AS 20 the effect of the recent rains
on the cotton crop; every intelligent
planter is aware of the fact that
when cotton ceases to grow from
lack of moisture at least ten days
will elapse, after the rain comes, be-
fore the plant will commence to grow.
After this new growth commences it
will be one month before the bloom
appears, after which two months will
elapse before the opening of the fully
matured boil
From these facts it will. be seen
that it takes over three months for
the cotton to mature after the falling
of seasonable rains. Now, how can
any reasonable man say that the
recent rains in Texas will affect the
yield of the cotton now !? 1t is per,
fectly absurd. As as rule the cot
ton market is influenced to great
extent by the estimates contained in
letters written by men who have no
experimental knowledge of the nature
and growth of the cotton plant.
