From the above figures it will

the fact that his popularity here

old district represented by him,
but even in the new counties his
value, as a capable, useful mem
Der, was known and we have no
doubt the seacoast counties of his

him. Through his efferts large

upon him than in the past. We

Grenada county is to have its an

THE ROAD LAW.

The present Road Law, enacted
by the Legislature of 1900, where
by the counties of the state may
work the public roads under the
contract system, taken as whole,
is an excellent law, and under its
workings our county roads have
been greatly improved, and IN fact
we now have the best roads ever
known in the history of the coun-
ty. But section Z, of this law
should be amended, for as it now
stands, its strict enforcement
would mean a hardship upon the
farmers. This section refers to
the payment of the Communication
tax of So, which ii provides must
be paid prior to September LIST,
of each year, or in lieu thereof
the person taxed shall perform
eight days work on the public
road, and affixed the penalty for
the failure to do either, as fol-
lows: Each contractor shall re-
port the names Of those that have
worked opt their time under him,
to the Board of Supervisors, who
IN turn shall make report of
same to the Sheriff and taX-col-
lector, who shall then regularly
proceed to the collection of all
delinquent road tax; and any per-
SON who fails to perform the re-
duired amount Of work or to pay
said tax, shall be guilty of mis-
iemeanor, and punished by the
courts as other misdemeanors. "
We all know that the farmers,
upon whom the large proportion
of this tax falls for payment, are
not prepared to pay the tax i'm
posed, by the LIST of September,
and their tenants arc busy gath
ering the crops, hence little cot
ton is marketed, and all are minus
the ready cash, and the strict en-
forcement Of this law would mean
IL Jail full of prisoners guilty of
"misdemeanors." But our Sheriff
has placed a liberal construction
upon the law, and wisely, so we
believe, by extending the time fol
the payment of this tax to Octo-
Der LIST. thus enabling those liable
to the road tax, who depend upon
cotton for their cash money, to
settle without any great inconye-
nience. This act on the part of
our Sheriff will meet with gene
raj approval, and Its adoption by
every county in the state, work
ing its roads under the contract
system, would prove a great con.
venienco to the people, and III
fact little short of a blessing. Gun
legislators will confer a favor up.
on their state by using their eff.
forts TO have this section amend
ed or repealed.

THE BUREAUS REPORT.

The following is the monthly re-
port of the cotton crop.
Washington, Sept. 3, 1902.
The monty report of the statis-
tician of agriculture shows average
condition OF cotton Aug. 20 to have
been 81, as compared with SI.o OIL
July rs, TIA on Aug. "a, 1901,
6S.2 on Sept. I, 1900, and ten
year average of 1877.
The present unprecedented low
average of condition, which is two
tenths of point lower than the con-
dition Sept. /, 1896, is due mainly
to the reports from Texas and Ala
bama, in both of which States the
prevailing conditions are nothing
less than disastrous.
The average for Texasis points
lower than at the corresponding
date i'll 1895 and 1901, and is the
lowest ever reported for that State.
In Alabama, also, the crop is the
poorest ever known.
Georgia reports 9 points below
its ten-year average, the condition
figured being one point below the
corresponding averages i'll 1899 and
III 1900.
The condition in Louisiana is the
same as on Sept. I, 1900, or g
points below its ten year average,
but its condition is still 8 points
above that at the corresponding
date in 1900.
South Carolina is within I point
of its ten-year average, and North
Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas
are ?, 7 and I points above their
respective ten-year averages.
There are general complaints Of
premature opening and imperfect
development of the bolls, and from
South Carolina, a State whose re-
ports are far from being the most
unfavorable, the statement is made
on the authority Of ginners that
about ID per cent more seed cotton
is required for 5oo-pound bale
than in an average year.
JOHN HYDE, Statistician.
The mathematical meaning of
this document is a mere sum i'll pro-
portion. If in 1901, with all acre
age substantially similar, Septem-
Der condition of TIA gave crop of
10, $50, 900 bales, then a condition
of Ga should now indicate a yield
of 9,97I 900 bales. OF course, any
such statement of the case leaves
all-important factors out of the ac-
count. The prospect may become
darker as time wears on, i'll which
case it is fairly evident that a shot
gun quarantine will have to be es-
tablished to keep the remnants from
vanishing into thin air. Even as it
is, Mr.. Hyde's pronunciamento
should bring thinking-caps into
fashion, and the head-gear should
be made of wool, or some other com
modify which is not purely veal. -
The simple fact is that the govern
menPs report implies famine Of
the most far-reaching sort, and pro-
hibitive prices would prevail as a
matter of course. He who runs
may read-and so may he who
falls. -Times-D
