When it comes to belylng its
protestations of being the only
genuinely true and altogether
lovely method of registering the
popular will, a styllshly conduct
ed, well handled Mississippi Pri-
mary takes the cake. 1t can give q
convention cards and spades on
counting unmatched resurrected,
mlsfit and all other off color votes.
1t is positively the only system
ever devised under which the
beer keg bum whose only tax is a
poll, and that paid for him, and
who, like a hired horse, is here to-
day and gone tomorrow, can ex-
ercise exactly the same right in
choosing fiscal and other officers,
whom he never saw, and who
never saw him, except before cleo
tion, and then only by proxy, as a
citizen of lifelong residence, and
whose ignorant and debauched
vote neutralizes that of the most
intelligent or heaviest tax paying
citizen of the country. And it is
the only scheme ever devised by
which a man can vote for every
in the race and retain
the friendship of each one. If we
must have primaries let the law
hedge up the system SO as to re-
duce the Coahoma variety to a
minimum.

gate, is reliable. Ii it does no
prove satisfactory We shall make
other arrangements.
We have secured a regular cor.
respondent at jackson, and shall
offer a weekly letter from the cap
ital, dealing with matters OF
general interest over the state.
We shall also have brief letters
from various important points in
the county and Delta. We shall
have a column devoted to crop,
weather and river conditions
which we shall try to make valu.
able, to our readers in the county
particularly. &
BY culllng leading articles from
onr exchanges we shall try to
make our column of state news
useful to all who care to keep up
with the trend of publicNo pinion
over the state. We expect to give
u brief review of magazines and
books each week, which we trust
will prove of interest to such of
our readers as have not the
time to devote to such things
themselves. Our society and To-
cal columns will contain all the
news possibly available to their re-
spective editors, each of whom
will be glad to receive any dots
left at our Office.
We have revised all our adver-
tisements, and have endeavored to

say that our business manager
will esteem it service to have
called to his attention any errors

We invite communications on

making The Times more useful or
attractive, and shall appreciate
criticism calculated to make for

The Times is set up, printed and

The Origin is the title given to a
OF brochure Of tifty-nine
pages, containing q
collection OF four essays by DR..
Bogen. of Greenville, and DR..
Solomon, OF Vicksburg. Though
our authors disclaim any polemi-
cal intentions, it is scarcely to be
expected that an absolute denial
of the fundamental belief of
the Christian religion should fail
to provoke controversy. How
ever, in this brief mention, we
enter, in our own behalf, the same
disclaimer.
As statement follows statement,
each controverting teachings dear
to millions of Christians, we are
impressed with a feature of the
pamphlet much to be regretted;
the feature which, has so marred

History of the United Kingdom;
not one reference or citation in
support OF disputable assertions
and conclusions. The glst OF the
entire argument is stated in the
conclusion; that Jesus had little
to do with establishing Christian
ity, but that its real founder was
Paul, "a narrow-mlnded and
rigorous jew" This isp a mere
uogmatic statement of opinion,
which the reader must either ig-
more, Or, by an exercise of that
blind faith so severely condemneH
by the whole tenor of the firh
essay, accept as an inerrant con-
clusion, without recourse to the

solute acknowledgment of Christ

not by implication, but in specific
terms. In both this essay and the
first is renewed the old attempt |
to make Christianity out a sort of
successor to the Essences; an effort

ole' of theirs.

Passing over, for lack of space,
many points which we might wish
o netice, we should state the
rhine purpose of these essays to
70 to show that whatever of good
christianity may possess is deriv-
d from Judaism; that the

Throughout the state, including
the Delta, and this county, the
corn crop classes unquestionably
poor.
A variety of reasons may be
assigned for this,-not the least
of which is the old standby of
having held out the best land for
cotton and given the cold dirt to
corn and then telling it to hustle
for itself. We know from per-
sonal experience this year, that
when corn was planted in time, on
good, we'll drained land, and we'll
worked, a good crop has been the
result. We had as much rain
as anybody else, too. With Sep
TENDER corn quoted in Chicago at
from 394 to Al cents, the man
who buys the spot stuff, next
Spring, is going to pay some
where in the neighborhood OF s.
cents for it In his crib.

TEXTILE SCHOOLS

That the South will become
the cotton manufacturing centel
of the world is merely a question
of time. There are too many
millions interested in the industry,
and the interests involved are toe
vast, for Europe or New England
ever TO abandon this line of manu-
featuring, and 1t wonld not be best
for the South for either to do so,
but the logic of conditions must
eventually dominate the situation,
in seeing the bulk of the cotton
crop pass through at least the first
stage of its Transformation into
a product in the section of its
growth.
There would be as much sound
sense in shipping seed in sacks to
New York, to he converted into
oil, as there is in shipping cotton
in bales to New England, to be
converted into cloth. The first
proposition we should regard as
absurdly illogical; the latter we
accept, as a matter of course.
1t has ceased to be question
whether such an economic farce is
to be perpetuated-on this the
South has long since passed judg-
ment; it now only remains to be
seen how rapidly her decree may
be executed.
In bringing about this peace
full industrial revolution no one
factor is destined to play a more
prominent part than the school
for teaching the science and art OF
converting our raw staple into the
finished product.
We must do something more
than invest capital in mills; not
until the South has demonstrated
her capacity to furnish the trained
skill ard brain to make the opera
ton and output of these mills
the equal, in every essential par
of the operation and pro-
duct of mills in other sections, will
she have attained the full measure
Of her possible success. 1t is fol- ,
" for New England to recognize
The competition of Southern mills
IN coarse goods, and at the same
lime ridicule them as manufactur- {
srs OF finer stuffs. I
It is to the textile school that {
We must largely look for the
speedy accomplishment OF all our
possibilities in this line, and no s
Mississippi legislature ever did q i
wiser thing than did our last, in .
for such a school. In j
he general diffusion of benefcent Q
.esults, it's establishment will q
,ventiate in more good to the
State at large than will accrue
rom all the mills to which chart I
re- have been granted this year. i
New England has long recog /
lizcd the prime Importance OF '
mel, institutions, and, as competi- c
ion from this quarter emphasizes s

Every season brings us a surfelt
of advice from editors, farm COM
missioners. ct cetera, as to how to
market the crop; and each season
sees just exactly the same degree
of attention paid to the advice by
the men who do the marketing.
"Pick, gin and sell" is about as
good plan as we know of.

If there is anything about when
it is harder to form an opinion
worth expressing, than a cotton
crop, we have never discovered IT,
The nature of the land, the time
Of planting and the manner OF
cultivating may make q difference
between two crops, growing prac-
tlcally side by side, so material as
to make a statement as to the
condition of either utterly worth
less as an index to the state OF the
other.
The distribution Of cotton over
such an area as it covers, empha-
sizes tremendously the difficulty
of securing reliable information
as to its growth, condition, prob
able yield, etc. Fully one third,
and possibly more, of the men who
report on crop conditions couldn't
tell you whether the rows on an
ear of corn are even or odd, or
both, and do not really get into a
cotton field more than once in five
wears: do not know whether cot
ton should be four, fourteen or
forty inches in the drill to give a
fair stand; could not tell blight
from shedding nor q sharpshooter
from a blowgun, and imagine, be-
cause field shows up big weed
and looks green from a car win
dow, that they can see a bale to
the acre on it. To be even fairly
accurate, crop reports should be
based upon system of personal
inspection, by competent parties;
the same parties to cover the same
territory. from year to year, if
possible.
However, what we should have
and what we have, are two en-
tirely different propositio ms, and
we must make the best of what is
now provided, and hope for some
thing better.

The Commissioners of Agricul-
ture, in convention at Raleigh, N.
C., have issued an estimate, of
1884, 500 bales for the present
crop. They give Texas 1890, 900
and Mississippi $4,000. Admit
q ten million bale crop, and the
supply is still short of the worlds
needs, and s cents minimum, for
middling benders, should be COM
manded in this market throughout
the coming season.

What with Akron and New
York Just now, and Pana in the
recent past, our friends across
the line are having troubles
of their own. "A few papers
seem TO have been forced to q
conviction of the general incor-
rectness of previously asserted
opinlons,-bnt this is only tenn
porary. In the course of time
we may look for such changes of
heart to become permanent, but
at present they are only the evan
result Of sudden shocks to
cherished ideals. The ideal has
yet to be abandoned.

The last government report, for
the week ending Monday, 9th,
shows a decided similarity between
the districts into which the state
is divided, the Delta, Northern,
Middle and Southern sections all
reporting dry, hot weather, con
siderable shedding and cotton gen
orally beginning to open, with
boil worms doing more or less
damage.
We have never yet seen crop
that was not more or less damaged
by boil worms and shedding dur
ing the month of August, and it is
impossible to say to what extent
the damage from these causes diff
fers this year fir om the average.
In so far as Washington county
is concerned, planters, generally,
report considerable damage the
past ten Or fifteen days from both
shedding and worms. This
is particularly the case with light
or sandy lands, though by no
means confined to them.
On fresh lands cotton is still
blooming and there is enough in
this shape to make the frost date
cut considerable figure IN the
county's output.
