NOT BECAUSE OF ACTUAL
WRONGS.

Wilmington Messenger.
If the time ever comes when there will
be an instruction and blood will run in
the streets and torches put to our homes"
by negroes, it will not be because of ac-
tual wrongs done them by the whites, but
by reason of passions aroused at imagn-
airy wrongs and infiamed by such utter
ances as those above quoted from the Rev.
Mr.. Masses address from the pulpit to
his congregation.

RIDICULOUS RANT.

4N4DIOO1~OOIo 4N-A%N =
Washington Post.
The idea that the Southern negroes are
still slaves of their white masters is
ridiculous rant. If the blacks are abused
in the South, why is not the North filled
with them? If they are better off in the
North than in the South, why do most
of them stay in their native States? 1t is
true that many of them are denied the
privilege of voting, and it is an interesting
fact that the constitutional provision that
has been found most effcacious in eff
fecting this denial was borrowed from
the fundamental law of the common
wealth of Massachusetts.

Talking About Cotton.

From J. H. Parker & Cos. weekly cot
ton letter the following extracts are taken:
For the first time in the history of cot
ton an improvement during August in the
condition of the growing crop has been
officially recorded. In all previous sea-
sons there has been invariably an aver
age deterioration during that month, even
when some specially favored sections have
shown considerable improvement. Dur
ing the month just passed, however, the
gain in all quarters, except Texas and the
Insignificant area in Florida, has been
quite marked and the general average has
thus been brougt up to. the very high
figure of SIP. Those who work by rule
of thumb will Immediately calculate that
with an acreage of 29000,000 such cOndi-
ton should assure a yield well in excess
of II 600 900 bales, and far beyond the pre-
vious record crop of II, 275,OOO bales. Per
haps this promise NAV be realized, but
we may be pardoned for calling attention
to some obstacles i'll the way of such a
probability. The first and greatest of
these is the acknowledged lateness of the
crop. The painful dearth of receipts in
the face of prices high enough to draw out
strongest evidence of the fact that fewer
matured bolls are now on the stalks than
ever before at this late date 1t follows
that, if the plant is only as far advanced
as it would be on August 3rd of a normal
season, it must have August weather for
its proper progress and development.
Here we have, therefore, the imperative
need of hot, dry wather for the next three
or four weeks. Again, crop four weeks
late will enter the frost period with a
great proportion of its fruit subject to de-
struction by frost. These two vital points
must be kept in mind in all calculations
of the probable outcome. 1t is possible
athat we may have August weather
throughout September, and it is also pos
sible that the fall may be very late one
but it would hazardous, from business
standpoint, to assume that these fortunate
possibilities should make happy conjunc-
ton. Should either fail of realization, the
result would be material reduction from
the theoretical outlook.
Such is the situation from the crop
standpoint. The price question next de-
mands consideration At first blush, ten
cents for the new crop deliveries certain
ly looks high, and with any assurance of
a good yield, such a level could not be
maintained There are plenty of specu-
lators who are willing to take chances on
the prospect, and these have been selling
short very freely. They claim that 12c
and over, now being bid for immediate
shipments, will draw flood of cotton to
the ports before the end of September,
and that the movement will effectually
dispose of all predictions of abnormally
small receipts. Time alone will decide this
contention, but those who now promise
so much are the same who proclaimed that
$4,000 bales of new cotton would come in
to sight during August, while the actual
arrivals were less than 1900.

Friends Of the forestry industry Of Mis-
souri, have expressed some apprehension
lest 1t should not be adequately repre-
sented by the Missouri Commission at the

day:
Il do not think that any one has cause
to fear that the great forestry industries

scented at the Fair.

necessarily mean that we are limited to
that amount, and am certain that every
member Of the Missouri Commission in
tends that the Forestry, Fish and Game
Department shall have everything that is
required to properly display its i'm
portance."
From members Of the commission 1t was
ascertained that the exhibit of Forestry,
Fish and Game would be one OF the most
elaborate and attractive at the Fair.
In the Forestry, Fish and Game building,
Missouri has been allotted n large space.
The exhibit booth will have an Ionic front
1eS feet long. IS feet deep and covering 3,5sS
square feet.
The extreme parts Of this BOOTH which
will be connected by Porticos with the

estry exhibit.
The commission calls attention to the
fact that Missouri possesses the largest
woodenware factory in the world, and at
Poplar Bluff is the largest stave factory
in the world.
SPECIMENS OF LOGS.
