ESTIMATE OF COTTON ACREAGE.

In the latest circular letter, Latham,
replies from 2,577 responsible plant
ers, commission merchants and bank
ers. make their estimate of the cotton
acreage which, in their opinion, is
''as approximately correct an est
mate of the cotton acreage as can be
secured" Here is their statements:
1.-THE total estimated decrease in
cotton acreage in the United States
for 1899 is 10 4-10 per cent or 2, ACC, 200
acres less than last year, and the av-
erage planting of the crop is about
two weeks later than last year.
'Our correspondents report that the
reduction in the acreage has been
brought about by the low price of
cotton, reluctance of commission
merchants to make as liberal adj
vances to the planters as formerly,
and the increase in acreage in tobac-
co. wheat and corn.
'In Alabama. Florida, Georgia,
Louisiana, Mississippi and South
Carolina, owing to the continued
drought and defective seed. much
complaint exists of poor stands caus
ing much replanting. and of late
planting not coming up.
''In Arkansas and portions of Texas
there are complaints of too much rain
causing a grassy condition. and coll
siderable damage from worms.
Our correspondents also report a
large reduction in the use of fertili-
zers. viz: 26 per cent in Alahamr,

FURTHER CONSPIRACY BY RADICAL POL
TIClANS,

The conspiracy formed to give the
Republicans an issue in the campaign,
having failed in the trumped-np
charges against Democrats i'll Pitt
county. has now sought to get help
by trying to secure indictments in the
Federal courts. The men selected
now as the victims of Radical malice
are citizens of Maxton, Robson co,In-
ty. A gang of partisan witnesses
have been brought to Raleigh to
swear that reputable citizens were
guilty of infractions of the law dur
ing the last campaign, and upon such
evidence the grand jury will be asked
to return true bills against number
of che best citizens of Robson county
upon trumped-up charges.
1t is not believed by anybody that
the gentlemen whom it is sought to
present are guilty or can be convicted
in any court, but the conspirators
hope to be able to help Dockery in his
contest case and place stigma upon
the name of men of character and
standing.
If Radical conspirators had any
evidence they would have produced it
long ago. Their purpose now is TOO
plain to deceive anybody. The pres
ent conspiracy will fail just as that
failed in Pitt county. The courts can
not be used by the conspirators tic
carry out their designs.

The fire insurance companies have
won in their case against the State Of
Arkansas. When the Arkansas anti
trust law was enacted recently, sixty
three of the companies doing business
i'm the State withdrew. But III test
case brought by the Encouragement
against an English company the State
Supreme Court decides for the COM
pany. 1t holds that the antitrust
law does not apply to outside com,
binations, as of insurance companies,
when their rate agreements do not
extend to Arkansas business. As the
law is construed by the attorncy-gen-
eral, the court says, insurance com
panies which combined to regulate
rates for Hong Kong or other distant
territory, could be excluded on that
ground from doing business in Ar
kansas.

FEDERAL DECORATION DAY.

Yesterday being Federal Memorial
day, it was national holiday, and in
all parts of the country the graves of
the men who died lighting wearing
the blue were decorated with Tags
and flowers. 1t is y beautiful Gus
tom-one that ought never to die.
Federal Decoration 1899, has had
a new meaning for the people Of the
South. For the first time the graves
of its own sons, who fell in The war
with Spain, were the object of Tie
Republics care. Their blood did
muchato cement the new and stronger
union of hearts between the men of
the North and the South.
The significant event of yesterday
was the fact that General Joseph
Wheeler, the Confederate cavalry
leader. was the Memorial day orator
in Boston. That fact has world of
meaning, and the Springfield Repub-
lican views it in the light of a full
fillment of a prophecy made by Gen
eral Horace Binney Sargent in Bos-
ton in 1869, soon after the end of the
War Between the States. General
Sargent said:
81 can respect the grave of any
gallant foe who drew his sword hon
estly, according to his light, for his
native State--for the spot. great or
small, which he had been taught from
childhood to reverence as his supreme
motherland. Comrades, though .e,v
of us may live to see it, | feel sure
that the last survivors of the Grand
Army of the Republic will celebrate
this anniversary after some day of
glory. when the sons of rebels and our
sons shall have fallen side by side IN
some common cause of foreign war,
as our sires and their sires fell side
by side under the eye of the great
rebel, :. =. the Virginian, Washington.
The day is not far distant when the
blue and the gray will be as closely
knit together as the men who wore,
the red and the white rose in battle.

COCKRELL AGAINST THE MON
EY TRUST.

While Senator Cockrell. of Missouri.
is also anxious that the Democrats shall
be actively hostile to the trusts. he says
that the money trust is the worst of all.
'7There is no Disgusting the fact" he
said yesterday, that the financial ques-
ton will be at the front next year. Re
publican campaign orators may talk
about prosperity, but the people-at
least the people in Missouri-will listen
with considerable impatience to their
assertions. Our wheat crop this year
will be Il failure. and while farmers
may not be sold out under the hammer,
there will be a hard time raising money
for taxes and nrany children viii go
barefooted. No the financial question
will not be side-tracked-not even by
the expansion question:
But the Republicans say that they
will settle the financial issue in the
next Congress by legislaion?''
Every move they make in that direc-
tion will be the worse for them,' was
Senator Cockrell's reply. They can do
nothing except along the line of fasten-
ing the gold standard upon the people,
and this is the very thing which the
country does not want.

INSURANCE COMPANIES AND
THE CRAIG LAW.

Weldon, n. c., May so 1899
To the Editor: / have all along been
of the opinion, and am of the some opin-
ion still, Attorney General Walser to
the contrary. Notwithstanding, that the
Craig Bill does not apply to insurance
companies, and it appears strange that
the act is SO construed. There is /;
distinct and separate department of in
surance, with an Insurance Commission.
The insurance companies having com
piled with the insurance laws, and hold
ing State license which says. they are
hereby licensed under the laws of North
Carolina to do business in the State for
one year from April LIST, 1899, to April
st, 1900, ut is preposterOuS to say that
they must still comply with another
law before they can do business. Such
Il thing is unheard-of in any court of
equity, and l verify believe, and l feel
confident that the Supreme court Of
North Carolina will be in accord with
these views, that when the insurance
act was passed and ratified it repealed
all laws and clauses of laws as to in
surance companies. That act of our
Legislature repealed the Craig law, so
far as insurance companies are con-
cerred, and every company holding Il
State license to do business in North
Carolina under the insurance law, passed
after the Craig bill became law, can
continue to do business until April 1st,
1900, regardless of any other law on the
statute books of North Carolina. |
notice that every fire company | repro
sent has complied with the Craig law,
therefore | write as one having no axe
to grind, but simply from a standpoint
of justice to these foreign corporations,
doing business in our State. You can
stick pin here and see if the Supreme
Court of North Carolina will not enter
tain practically the same views.

AT THE NATIONS CAPITAL
WHAT THREE LEADING DEMOCRATS SAY
OF THE ISSUES OF 1900.
Bankhead and Meyer Say Opposition 10 trusts
VIII Lead and Senator Cockerell Says
the Money Trust is the
Biggest Trust

Speaking of the Presidential campaign
next year. Mr.. Bankhead, of Alabama,
said that he did not believe the silver
question would be as prominent as it
was in 1896, although the Democrats
would still be committed to free coinage.
He thinks that the Democrats would
be wise to make an aggressive fight
against trusts, and cited an incident
which came to his attention on the
train. Il travelled" he said, with a
drummer of the Continental Tobacco
Company, who told me that $50 travel
ing statesmen had been laid off by wire
in one day When / asked him the
reason, he said it was because his com
pany had ITO further opposition in GER
tain lines of tobacco, and could transact
their business by circulars sent through
the mail. He told inc that he had been
Il Republican all his life, but believing
that the Republican party was response
bic for the huge combinations that We're
being formed, he would hereafter vote
the Democratic ticket"
Mr.. Bankhead says that Bryan still
continues the, favoorte among Alabama
Democrats, although he hears some talk
of German.
is AFRAID BRYAN WILL BE RE-
NOMINATED.
81 am afraid Bryan will be renominat-
ed" said Representative Meyer, of
Louisiana, yesterday. Il say afraid
because | am doubtful whether he can
lead the Democratic party to victory.
seriously question whether he can even
consolidate again the forces that We're
with him in 1896. If we make silver
the prominent issue, we will be handi-
capped, to say the least.
MY own judgment is that our fight
should be chiefly directed against trusts.
| know that in my own city of New
Orleans the feeling against these COM
binations is very bitter. and has lately
manifested itself in definite form. We
have had Il meeting of the largest and
most conservative merchants, whose
protest against the growth of trusts is
based upon the injury done to small
dealers The men who participated in
the movement are not politicians. but
they see the danger that threatens.
They know that they cannot rely upon
the Republican party to stamp out these
combinations, and the people realize the
same thing. so that the country will
naturally look to the Democrats to make
the fight"
