THE COTTON CROP.

Nearly every year, just before the
opening of the cotton season, there are
reports that indicate a falling of in
the yield. There is talk of rust, she'd
ding, black root and caterpillars. No
doubt all of these evils are present in
various parts of this state, though it
is doubtful If in any of the counties
age as to threaten to cut off the yield
to an alarming extent. There may be
here and there a locality where the
caterpillars are doing a great deal of
damage and other localities where
there is rust or shedding to an extent
that will cut down the yield very con-
siderably, but there is nothing in the
reports yet to justify the opinion that
there will be a marked shortage in the
yield in this state. On the contrary,
the indications are that the total
yield will be fully UP to what it was
last year.
In other cotton states the prospect is
that there will be an average crop. In
some of them the yield will be above
the average and in others a little be-
low it, so that the number of bales
this season will probably be somewhat
larger than it was last season. OF
course much depends upon the wealth
er conditions for the next few months.
Bad weather and early frost
would cut the crop short many
thousands of bales. There is
one part of the cotton terri
tory where the crop is almost a total
failure. and that is Oklahoma. The
weather conditions there appear to
have been against it.
1t seems to be safe to predict an I'M
usually prosperous season for cotton
planters. The price of cotton is high
and the indications are that II will re-
main so. though 1t can hardly be ex-
pected that IL will continue as high as
It is at present. There is a dearth OF
cotton. however. and there will be a
brisk demand for all that will be Of
fered.

DIAL Of the Milledgeville boy who was
convicted of misdemeanor in Flor

camp where, IL is alleged, he was so

TENS of the states in which the lash
is used on the convicts into bad re-
pute.
Gov. Terrell should insist upon a
Thorough overhauling of the whole
convict business with the view OF IN
PRODUCING such reforms as the sys-
tenn stands in need of, in order to re-
lieve it of it's most Objectionable feat

gest reforms in his message to the
Legislature at the next session of
that body. 1t is evident that the Leg
islature, from the resolution it passed
in respect to the use of the whip on
women, is ready to provide for any
reforms that may be shown to be
necessary. One of the reforms should
be the adjustment of the fash as a
means of correction. The doctor at
the prison farm says that it is bru-
talizing and degrading. Assuming ne
is right, there should be no hesitation

The Kangaroo's Money.

Andrew Carnegie brings each year
from Scotland new collection of
Scottish stories, says the New York
Tribune. One of last years gathering
concerns an ignorant, farmer.
This farmer, over a glass of whisky,
sympathized one day with the COM
plants of an old friend of his, a ped
dler. The peddler said the times were
always hard in Scotland; the people
had no money there; it was a poor
place to get along in.
What you say is true" the farmer
agreed. why don't you emigrate to
Australia, lavish? Australia's a grand
place, by all accounts"
1T used to be-" the other returned.
"but it is no longer. Australia is as
overcrowded now as any other land.
1.-THE coast may be-" the farmer ad-
mitted but the interior I'm sure is
not GO to Australia, lavish, and
push into the interior"
1.-THE INTERIOR" said the peddler.
"There's nothing there but kangaroos.' -
The farmer thought that kangaroos
were some foreign race of people.
"Well, lavish" he said reproachfully,
isn't a kangaroo's money as good as
any other man's?"

RECORD FOR SEA ISLAND.

Three striking facts present them
selves in the consideration of the sea-
son for sea island cotton that closes
on Sept l. These are that the re-
ceipts will be the largest on record,
that prices have been maintained and
that the demand has been so strong
as to leave but slender stocks.
Planters and the trade have much
from which they may we'll derive COM
fort in the situation. A new season
is approaching, and the prospects are
excellent. Practically no uncalled for
stocks hang over to offer their threat
of slender demand and low prices. On
the contrary, there is a bright prom
Use to be drawn from the contempFa-
ton of a season that bears off the
palm for production, and throughout
which there has been a steady de-
mand.
The crop in sight to date for the pres
ent season is 1O4,613 bales, of which
Georgia receipts show S5,225; South
Carolina, 12,497, and Florida, 6,S91. I'm
til this season 1896 had the record, when
the sea island crop was 1O4,557. Stocks
at the several ports are about 1000
bales.
In view of past seasons, when, with
production not nearly so heavy, prices
have been lower, that drawing to q
close is remarkable. A few years ago
it would have been regarded
as remarkable for so large
crop to have commanded such
uniformly good prices. Fancy
Georgias this season have held
their own at 20 to % cents pound.
Consumers have found new uses to
which they put the long staple, there
by charging the demand and serving
to make the market firm.
While satisfaction may well be felt
in the sea island situation and the
prospect, planters should not permit
this to render any the less careful
and intelligent their preparations for
the next crop. They should take ad-
vantage of every means to insure a
fiber of the finest length, strength and
quality. Back to the nursery of the
long staple they should go for their
next years seed. That nursery is the
islands of the South Carolina coast,
where the finest fiber of the world is
produced. After one or two years of
reproduction the quality of the long
staple grown away from those islands
begins to deteriorate. Let the planters
see to it that they have fresh seed,
for the sovereignty of the sea island
product must be sustained. When it is
at its best it is far superior to the fiber
of the products of the Mississippi Del
ia, of Egypt and the richest uplands
of the Southern Cotton Belt. The finest
grades of sea island have no COMPETE
tors. Let it's standing be maintained.
Talk has been heard of long staple
cultivation in Cuba. Many maintain
that the crop cannot be successfully
and remuneratively raised there. That
it can be in South Carolina, Georgia
and Florida there is no question. There
are thousands of acres in these states
that are adapted to the production of
sea island cotton. A great area of this
land is not planted. at all. Good prices
and a growing demand should lessen
it's extent

Americans should be grateful to Sir
Thomas Upton and the Englishmen
who have preceded that thorough
sportsman in the effort to win the
Americas cup. This gratitude should
extend, too. to the wealthy sportsmen
of the United States who have spent
their money so freely in the building
of yachts to defend the trophy. Since
the time of the ancient Greeks. even
since that of the Chaldeans, spectacles
have been dear to the human heart.
Though to but a comparativel few is
given the pleasure of witnessing the
great races between the contending
yachts, all the country enjoys the OPP
portunity to catch frequent bulletins
of their progress. This is the greatest
land of the earth for sport, and all
questions of general interest sink into
insignificance in comparison with the
races of the great single stickers.
While bulletins are coming in and while
crowds gather about the boards at the
newspaper offices, others in the COM
mercial avenues. offices and stores and
in the quiet of the home ask whats
the news from the yacht racer" 1t is
a free show; it is noble sport. Thanks
to the men who afford it.
