In Oklahoma cotton, generally,
has suffered from the drought,
shedding its squares and top bolls,
and in some localities being af-
fected by rust and worms. 1t is
opening up very fast, and the
fields are becoming white. Pick
ing is in progress, and some bales
have been ginned. The damage
is estimated at from one half to
two, thirds to upland, and one
fourth to bottom land cotton over
the Indian Territory and portions
of Oklahoma.

HEAT AND DROUGHT INJURE
THE CROP.
The Continued Deterioration of
Cotton Over the Entire Belt.
Extreme and Unprece.
dented Heat, Most
Severe in South
Atlantic
States.
SUMMARY BY STATES. |

The reports speak of continued
deterioration of cotton, caused by
the drought, and extreme unpre-
cedented heat, which covered the
entire belt but was most severe
in the Atlantic States.
The plant has stopped growing
and consequently is not fruiting,
over large portion of the belt;
while rust, shedding and pre-
mature opening are the principal
manifestations of deterioration.
Insects are damaging in Texas,
where, however, the crop is in
better condition than in any
other State. In Arkansas and
Alabama some improvement is
noted.
Picking has become general,
but ginning is somewhat delayed,
hence the movement of new cot
ton has not yet attained it's usual
size for the season, but during
the first week in September the
movement will be large, except
in Texas, where the crop is from
tNo to three weeks better than
usual.
In North Carolina the great
damage caused by the heat and
drought SC cotton has now De.
come fully apparent many fields
present the appearance which
they usually have at the end of
September; rust is reported in
many counties; bolls are opening
very rapidly every where, but the
bolls are imperfect, generally
being from one half to three
fourths of full size picking is in
progress; still, late cotton in
many counties was improved by
rain, and late blooms are report
ed by correspondents at Moncure
(Chatham) and Washburn Ruth
erford county,. Young corn is
promising only where rains have
been most frequent this week.
In South Carolina cotton CON
times to shed both leaves and
bolls, and to open prematurely.
1t is making no growth, nor is it
fruiting. Where the showers
were followed by bright sunshine,
cotton was scalded. Picking is
general, but is retarded by the
hot weather. Sea island cotton
is suffering severely from drought,
premature opening, and blight.
In Georgia the general crop sit
uation has not improved, but on
the other hand the outlook is less
encouraging than at the time Of
the last issue of the bulletin. Cot
ton continues to open rapidly,
and there is considerable com
plant of rust and shedding, in
many fields the leave have be.

the effects of too much hot. sun

picking is general. The work is
we'll advanced in some sections,
where advices state that, on up.
lands, the bulk of the crop is
open.
In Alabama the first part of
the week was hot and dry, the
latter part cool showery, but over
portions of the State the drought
is unbroken. The general con
dition of cotton shows some i'm
provoment, but the crop is un-
even or spotted. Rust and she'd
ding increased slightly, and bolls
are opening rapidly. Picking is
becoming general, and the pros
pective yield is light.
In Mississippi cotton has suf-
fered from the continued dry
weather and is shedding in most
sections, in some places badly.
Boil worms and rust are reported
from a few counties. Cotton is
opening rapidly and in some
counties premsturcIy. Picking is
general in the southern part of
the State and will begin in the
middle counties this week.
Iii Louisiana reports concern
ing the condition of the cotton
crop are still unfavorable. Com.
plants contib ue to come from
many sections of light fruitage,
shedding, premature opening and
damage by rust, boil worms and
caterpillars. Picking has com
menced in nearly all sections,
and some ginning has been done.
In Tennessee cotton is rusting
and shedding fruit badly, and
failing in prospective yield; late
corn now in many sections is rap
idly approaching the failure
mark, while late tobacco is show
ing the effects of drought and
heat.
In Texas cotton continues to
do well in some sections, but the
crop is not as good as was ex.
pected in some parts of the State
few weeks ago. The hot and
dry weather is telling on cotton
in some localities particularly late
cotton. Shedding continues in
many places. Mexican weevil.
boil worms and other cotton
pests are reported from many
sections and are doing consider
able damage in some localities.
Hot and dry weather has caused
matured bOlls to open very rap
idly. Some picking is being done
in all parts of the State. Picking
will not be general for some time.
The crop is not regular and from
one to three weeks late. The
cotton plant while large is not as
full of fruit as it should be. A
good slow rain would be ben.
eficial for the crop; it would i'm
prove late cotton generally. Cot
ton is generally below an average,
but some localities report an
average crop.
In Arkansas the drought and
heat were broken by general and
heavy rains on the 25th and 26th
of August, which benefited cot.
ton in places, while for other
localities the rains came too late
Picking has begun and will soon
be general. The prospects are
for only half crop of cotton ir
! sections, while other sections will

n Rash Promise.

The Methodist church has practically
abolished the itinerant syStem-an eX-
ample which the labor orders are not
following.
For tits safe to affirm that had Hughes
or Wilson come back here, instead of
Warner, neither could have prevented
|, n conference {;
,, An amicable settlement nor
3, Work at full tilt at rate not lower
than % cents ton.
In further confirmation of the labor
order value of the itinerancy, it is
now stated that brother Warner will
leave the region and sister Jones and
brother Haggerty will continue the re-
vival until the erring companies, now
buying coal abroad for their customers,
will ''come t1ocking home?'
But what assurance have we that the
new evangelists will not begin repeat
ing themselves sooner than Warner?
The Georges Creek miner, though easy
to fool with plausibilitics when they are
new, is one Oh tne hardest fellows on
terra f,mo to fool all the time" Posi-
lively from this out it will take at least
one new evangelist every month to keep
him entertained with the fallacy that he
is winning, and laughing at the bleeding
pictures of corporation hearts he is
busting.
So that Mother Jones promise to "stay
until the strike is won," given i'll MA
ternal faith no doubt, like Warmers
fatherly expectation of conference he
didn't want, and all other symbols of
pie-crust already broken, is subject to
exactions upon her oracular powers
which even William J. Bryan could not
supply.
We repcat-amOnga people with whom
the old love must be continually cast off
and the new continually taken on, no
spellbinder, male or female, with due
regard for his or her word, can afford to
promise to stay here forever.

tcpudiateS Free Coinage.

Col. John {. Lcgg, of Baltimore, a
former police commissioner, has repudi
atcd the free silver views which he enter
tanned i'll 1896, and announces that he
will not support his party in the APP
preaching presidential election if the
Kansas City convention rcatfirms the
silver plank of the Chicago platform.
He said:
have come to the conclusion that the free
coinage Of silver at the ratio of Is to l is a
falaCy and that the enactment Of such a law
would be the worst thing that could happen
to the business interests of the country.
-Four years unprecedented prosperity under
the gold standard leaves no doubt in my
mind that gold and not silver is the only safe
basis of value. | was sincere in my advocacy
of the white metal four years ago, but have
changed my views. | will not vote for Nc
Kinley and his imperalistic policy, but,
much as | am devoted to the time-honored
principles of the democratic party will not
support its nominee upon platform declar-
ing for the free coinage of silver
The colonel gives ii very poor reason
for his change Of conviction.
The gold standard has not been par
ticularly on trial during the current
presidential quadrennial, and has borne
10 more relation to the latter'S ''unpre-
cedcntcd prosperity" than i'll the past
it had to just plain, ordinary, humdrum
''proSperity.'
The main boost of the unprecedented
prosperity most largely by
the manufacturers-ha been a tariff
which enables that class to sell its wares
to foreigners at prices far below those
named to our own people. The trust,
governmcntally endowed as an en-
tortioner at home, is "loweSt bidder"
abroad.
The true reason for flop back into
the democratic party by simon pure
Bryanite iS-after mature study | am
convinced that the gold standard is the
only proper, fixed, durable foundation
for commercial system that, as it
reaches around, will eventually enamel

Stone Crushing

County commissioner j. B. Cunning
seems to have charge of the new Altman
stone-crusher, lately purchased by the
commissioners, and has it at work at the
Corrigansville quarries, where, the
Cumberland Times says
The limestone will be crushed and then
loaded on cars with care for transportation
to all points of the county adjacent to the
railroads. The other crusher, brought from
Westernport, will be used on roads not con-
venient to the railroad
The JOURNAL knows nothing of the
quality of Corrigansville limestone but
if it is no better than that around Frost
burg, it is love slabOr" four times lost
to quarry, crush, haul and place it on
road levels.
If, on the other hand, the stone is as
good as the crusher, Mr.. Cunning will
become a public benefactor of the first
degree.

The Gravity of Greatness.

j. ID. Whelpley, writing to the Balti-
more New& from Lincoln, Neb., says:
In Lincoln Bryan is looked upon as good
neighbor, but not as great man.
Another illustration of the Scriptural
axiom concerning the prophet not with
out honor-eXcept i'll his own country
Take Georges Greek, for instance,
where those who have been long known
members of church, even clergymen,
are more or less under suspicion of
treason to labor if they venture to adj
wise, or even express themselves disap-
provingly of policies which lead to idle
ness and loss.
But when Hughes, Wilson, or War
ner-wholly unknown except through
credentials from people equally I'M
known, comes along, his word, revers-
ing the dispenSations, quickly becomes
first, gospel; then law.
Probably it stands to Mr.. Bryan S
credit, therefore, that at home he is
mot looked upon as great man." For
it is possible that the paradox which i'll
the philosophy of human nature plays
havoc with popular estimates of men, if
great at home, would make them small
potatoes abroad. If Mr. Bryan were
great i'll Lincoln, that fact might argue
against the policy of having him regard
ed as great i'll Cumberland If he were
great only III Lincoln he could not be
great i'll Homecoming.
Hence, the advantage under which
men like Mr.. Warner sail They are
great i'll Homecoming because there is
still something about him unknown.
On the other hand, he is not as great
there as he was six months ago because
he is better known. This is the sort of
revolution that goes backward. Hence.
if, instead of leaving, he will stay just a
little while longer he will find his office
of ''Sir Oracle" gradually but surely slip,
ping away from him.
