1890, II years ago, and when the census
cotton reports of that year were made
public they demonstrated that the fig
ures of the estimated acreage were
wrong to the extent of several million
acres. The official report, which we
hope to receive in November, will give
us the actual number Of acres planted
in cotton for the crop of 1S99-1900, and
we can see at GLIMPSE what progress
has been made since the last official
figures were secured for the crop OF
1SS9-1S90. The report of the census on
the cotton producing industry will,
am confident, be the most nearly per-
feet and altogether the most satisfac-
tory ever issued in this country, and
would say as much concerning the gen
eral agricultural reports for the entire
country"

COLONEL Julian S. Carr, of North
Carolina, has endorsed Senator McLau-
rim, and the opposition papers are
claiming that he is sour because of his
defeat for the United States senator
ship. Were it not for the fact that Col
onel Carr is one of the wealthiest and
most generous men in the South, II
would probably be charged that he has
been bought. There seems to be but
little disposition anywhere to admit the
possibility of political views being
based upon patriotic judgment.

IF the report of the revival of Chi
nese trade is true, the news will prove
very gratifying throughout the south.
There is no telling what the Chinese

section; and there is no other one thing
that is better calculated to bring about
a widespread trade revival.

Away up toward the front end of the
