THE COTTON CROP.

The cotton crop in Eastern
North Carolina will not exceed
fifty per cent.of an average crop.
A wet year is a bad year for
cotton, and as a rule the crop is
over estimated when there has
been an excess Of rain,
Il does seem to US that the
price Of cotton will be higher as
soon a. the cotton buying world
ascertains that the crop is really
very short. The forecasting of
the snowy staple, in ABOUT like
the forecasting of the number OF
fish one. will catch on the next
summers outing, but after all the
number caught depends to a GER
tain extent upon the number OF
fish in the stream.
With the light before US, il
seems that there should be no uns
due haste in marketing the new
crop Of cotton.

Resolved. 1st, That we view
with a degree Of seriousness the

raised, ought to receive a price in
keeping with the small supply.

the fixing of the price Of cotton
seed by the Southern Oil Company
at a price less than last year, as
unjust and against our interests,
therefore,

of this meeting appoint a commit
tee of two from each to wnship to
meet similar delegates from other
counties in the State in a State
Convention TO be held on the 25ta
