Killing W. ]. Bryan.

We read in republican paper that
w j Bryan is emphstically dead, poll
tically dead. and yet In the same paper
we read thirteen items, giving q des-
cription of his meeting in New Eng
land. That's good way to kill him
politically. Fill the papers with notices
of his travels, speeches, receptions and
meetings and keep it up until the ma
tional convention meets and he will be
nominated for president by acclama-
ton.

SHORTAGE IN COTTON CROP.

Atlanta Ga. Aug. 19,-Commissioner o. B. Ste
vens Of the Georgia Department of Agriculture
has compiled statistics indicating that the cotton
crop of Georgia for 1900 will be from $4,000 to
20O. 900 bales short of what it was in 1893 Com
missioner Stevens, as president Of the Cotton
States Commissioners Association. has received
reports from Commissioners OF the various States
the effect that the crop in the South as whole
is short. Indications on August were that every
State in the cotton belt would be behind on the
staple with the exception of Texas, reported to
be per cent ahead of the crop OF the last
five years.
The figures prepared by the Department show
that IN Georgia an average crop for the last five
years Is 500 bales. The reports from the ccun
ties of Georgia are that "A per of aver age
crop will be realized Twenty-siX per cent off the
average crop gives 95S S92 bales for the year,
against estimated crop for 1893 of between
1000 900 and 10000 bales.
II is further estimated from the reports in the
hands Of the Commissioner that the cotton acreage
is per cent less than in 1899.
