tricts referred to. even with the most Ia
vorable weather, to complete planting in the
aitire cotton belt before May Is. This. wo
all know, is a late start, and while II is welt
enough to boar In mind that perfect weather
conditions might be had after that date. we
must also not forget that with late start, IL
is necessary 70 have such conditions In order
TO obtain a crop anywhere near what we
might need this season, and what we nearly
all calculated upon producing, and what, 1t is
now evident. the farmer had IN view when
commencing this crop, as his arrangements
and plans were upon scale that indicated
the largest acreage and heaviest use OF fer
filters on record.
The next four weeks will determine In a
largo measure whether we shall hayo
small moderate or large crop.

And now it is said that the Addicks
Republican leaders are very much con-
cerned about their chances for admis-
sion to the Republican National Con-
vention, and are making frequent pill.
grimages to Philadelphia to consult
about the matter. What the con-
vention may do is Of course problemati.
cal, but it always seemed reasonable
to expect the admission Of both deleRa-
tions, allowing to each half vote. AS
the denomination Of Mckinley is a
foregone conclusion, Mark Hanna has
not the incentive, as was the case four
years ago when ''we skinned dat skupk''
at st. Louis. of making sure of six
Mckinley votes as against six votes
that we're unpledged and might have
proved doubtful Now hrs chief con.
cern is for the electoral vote of Della.
ware, and naturally he will want to
get the factions together for common
electoral ticket. And so the Addicks
Republicans may have half representa-
tion at the Philadelphia Convention,
but We cannot see any reasonable ground
for their claim that they will be ad
mitted to the exclusion of the Regular
Republicans

BOYD'S BILL NOT PASSED.

Levy Court Asked for the Commitments,
But They Have Not Yet Been Presented.
:. The Levy Court convened again
Tuesday afternoon, but transacted no
business and adjourned until Tuesday,
june 9Th. Permission will probably be
granted by the bridge committee to tho
Elks to use Washington street bridge
in carnival week.
The court has as yet taken no further
action on the bill Of Mayor Evan q.
Boyd of New Castle, who wants
81, sol. rs from the county for com.
uniting 6,005 persons to jail and record
ing judgment against each. Although
Mayor Boyd reduced the bill from
81, 4O2, after the court first held it up
and Every Evening showed it up, he is
still whistling Tor the money.
The last action taken by the court in
the matter was to ask Sheriff TAYLOR to
produce the commitments, ATTORNEY
John il. Rodney having suggested that
they be examined. Sheriff Taylor told
a reporter sometime ago that the COM
mitments were in his office, but ne did
not allow view of them. A member
OF the court, when asked Tuesday
about the status Of the subject, said
that the commitments had not been
produced.
No bills were passed by the court
Tuesday. The county has a balance of
about $4,000. '
