Gastonia Gazette, October 13: The
cotton crop is short, very short, In Tex
as. A letter received by Mr.. L. w.
Wilson from his brother Sam at Long
view, gives gloomy picture Of the out
years." says Mr.. Wilson. Yesterday

have cut southern Texas out Of their
routes, and that merchants down there
are boxing up their goods and shipping
them back. Our splendid prospect OF
August 1st has turned out a dismal
failure. .. In the Mecklenburg su-
