and the school Joined in singing, "Stand
Up, stand up for Jesus" etc. The pro-
gramme was a very good one and the
proceedings were greatly enjoyed by
all. 1t is estimated that fully 800 per-
sons were present, and at intermission
the grounds were literally covered, and
the meeting resolved itself into gene
raj picnic occasion, where all who wish
ed, enjoyed themselves for about an
hour and half in the most pleasant
manner possible.
This Is the first time in the history
of the church that an occasion of, this
kind was mapped out and managed
exclusively by the scholars Of the
school. Sam Strain was the master Of
ceremonies and each scholar acted his
or her part well. so much so, that we
are willing to acknowledge that 1t was
by far the most successful occasion of
the kind that it has ever been our good
fortune to attend. Ills.

goes or not. Mr.. Cleveland argued at
length the benefits that would accrue
to the mills, the cotton producers, the
operatives, and the people Of the south
generally by the further development
Of cotton manufacturing. He was lis
tened to attentively; but received no
applause.
The features of Fridays sessions of
the meeting were the speeches Of ex-
Governor John Gary Evans and Sena-
tor Tlllman. Mr.. Evans announced his
candidacy with great vehemence. He
reminded his hearers how he had told
them in 1897 that McLaurin was poll
tical traitor, and he indicated that at
that time Mr.. Latimer was an accom-
plice, having been a McLaurin man.
He declared that McLaurin should be
pulled down and out, that the people
should be careful not to substitute an
other traitor [Mr. Latimer] in his place.
He was vigorously cheered as Mr.. Lat
inner had been on the day before.
Senator Tillman spoke for about an
hour and a half In his characteristic
style, and was cheered quite literally
throughout. He took hand primary
on this proposition: "All of you who
are Democrats and who understand
the teachings Of your fathers, and are
not after the false gods hold up your
hands," A great many voted for the
proposition; but 1t was not unanimous
or boisterous. On the other side there
was no voting. Referring to Senator
McLaurin's intimation about rebates,
Senator Tillman said: 1T will take
somebody of more character and re-
sponsibility than this man John L. Nc
Laurin to make the people believe that
any dishonest dollar ever crossed my
palm. It will take some one, he fierce
ly continued, with more character be-
hind him than this man has to make
anybody believe such damnable SLAM
ders." But the most significant fact OF
the senator's speech was that which
contained an intimation of punishment
of the cotton mill corporations should
their officers continue to advocate these
new doctrines. The threatened punish
ment included shorter hours for the
operatives and Incorporation Of the
mill towns. At the conclusion Of the
meeting the crowd hurrahed for Till
man.
The Chester meeting was attended
by about 1000 people and was largely
a duplicate Of the Union meeting ex-
cept that the denunciation Of Senator
McLaurin was more bitter and intem-
perate. Senator Tillman called hand
primary on the question as to whether
the crowd endorsed the recent action
of the state executive committee and
got $50 votes. Mr.. Latimer repeated
the warnings made at Union against
the cotton mill owners.

Friday night, aged 54 years.
Gone On n Sea Voyage.
On the advice of his physician. Sena-
tor McLaurin will take his daughter on
sea voyage in the hope Of assisting
her safe recovery from fever. It was
the senator's expectation to leave
Greenville yesterday.
A Choice Of Evils.
At Chester last Saturday. Mr.. Lat
inner explained why he voted for Sem
ator McLaurin in 1897 in preference to
Ex-Governor Evans. He said he did
not care much for either dose; but af-
ter comparing them carefully, he de-
cided that of the two McLaurin was
preferable.

Something over 1000 people were pres

whenever he made n telling hit. His

His line Of speech was similar to that
made at Greenville, and he had the
crowd with him fully on his eXposi-
ton of expansion. merchant marine and
the Paris treaty. In no case was the
applause more pronounced than that

CoRsIcANA. Texas August Think
ing perhaps the people Of old York
would like to know something about
the cotton crop in Texas, have made
special inquiry for the past two weeks.
besides personal observation, and I
find the condition Of the cotton crop is
described by men who. for business
reasons have made personal inspec-
tion of 1t. far worse than the casual
observer would Judge 1t to be. I have
interviewed men Of large experience in
the cotton business recently, and none
have been found who estimate the crop
at more than a fourth of bale to the
acre, while more declare that 1t will
take six acres to make a bale. on the
average, than estimate 1t at five acres
or less. The ground has not been 80
dry, 1t Is stated, in many years, and it
Is declared that 1t would take a steady
rain that would aggregate four to six
inches, to place 1t in condition to fur
nish substance to vegetable life. Sew
eral owners of large ginneries have
been interviewed, and without excep-
ton they estimate that their gins will
not be called upon to press more than
half the number of bales Of last year.
It is said that three-fifths of the cot
ton Of Texas Is made north Of the I. &
G. N. railroad, and reports from all
that fertile section indicate that the
condition Of Navarro county, where
am located, represents the general con-
dition in north and Central Texas. In
deed, it is freely predicted by expe-
rienced observers, that all Texas and
the territories will not make 100000
bales this year. There Is nothing in
the reports from the southeastern
states to indicate that this shortage
will. be made up by increased crops In
that section, and the general outlook
appears to be for a crop far snort OF
the one Of last season. Taken all In
all, 1t is not at all probable that prices
will range any lower for the coming
season than those prevailing during
the season Of 1900-1901.
Cotton Is opening very rapidly, and a
great many farmers think one-half the
crop will be picked In the present
month of August. New cotton is bring
ing u to 10 cents.
The corn and oat crops are q total
failure here. Corn Is selling at 81 to
$1.10 per bushel, and oats are bringing
a price never known before in Texas
65 cents per bushels. The usual price
is 12a and Is cents.
Hay generally brings from "a to, IS
per ton, but is now worth $14 and very
scarce.
I would like to tell the people Of
York county something more about
Texas and her great oil fields as well
as cotton fields, but my letter is al
ready growing lengthy. With kind re-
CARDS to the good people Of York coun-
ty. THos p. McDILL.
