THE TEXAS COTTON CROP.

A special from Galveston to the HOus-
tor (Texas) Post says that the farmers
of that section of the Empire State are
arranging to hold their cotton for the
better prices which they think are GER
tain to come. The Cotton Growers AS
ISOLATION has made arrangements with
the banks of Galveston to secure an adj
vance of $50 per bale on their cotton as
soon as it is shipped and then they
can hold their cotton as long as they
wish by paying an interest of six per
cent on the money advanced. The spe-
cial adds:
..Mr. Peters, who is at the head of the
Cotton Growers Association, says that
the outlook for the crop of the present
season is even worse than it was a
month ago. In Robertson county, where
he resides, he said that month ago he
expected that there would be one-half
of a bale to the acre raised, but that now
he does not expect one third of bale.
His estimate of the crop of Texas this
year is about 2,225, 900 bales; over mil
lion less than that of a year ago. On
account of the shortage of the crop and
the prosperous conditions prevailing
throughout the country at large, Mr..
Peters says that he expects to see 10
cent cotton before the close of the sea-
SON. He advises farmers to market their
crop slowly, not selling over 10 per cent
of their crop per month. The farmers
are being supplied with statistics inform
ing them of the drouths and short crops,
and also of the demand in the markets
of the world"
In North Carolina many of the farm
ers last year held their cotton for a rise
having made money by holding the previ-
Gus year. Last year they lost money by
holding it for the expected rise that did
not materialize. What cotton will do is
always as doubtful as what a woman will
say or what verdict jury will render.
Every indication last year pointed to ten
cent cotton as it does this year, but no.
body can tell whether the price will go
as it should on the short crop.

NOT ANARCHIsT.-AN ASS.

Referring to the statement in an ex-

North Carolina. the Gastonia Gazette
says:
'.Our contemporary had not heard
possibly, of the Watauga Republican who
when told that an anarchist had shot
President Mckinley, exclaimed, Yes, and
Aycock hired the fellow to do it. >"
