THE COTTON CROP.
A Fail OF Seven Points in the Staples
Condition.

The monthly cotton crop report Of
The New York Journal of Commerce
as generally anticipated shows the
condition Of the crop to have declined
during the month Of August.
According to the special reports OF
this Journal there was fall of
points during the month. Reports
were received from over 1900 CORES
pondents, their average date being
August "a. The condition reported is
ia compared with ST. 4 last month,
and is about points lower thar a
year ago, but between s and / points
better than in 1902 and 1901.
The most serious decline is in Tex
as, where condition is reported at IS,
a drop OF IA points during the month.
Wire advices received since these re-
turns suggest still further deteriora-
tion owing to the hot and dry wealth
er. The declines OF to 8 points in
Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana
are also significant, as these states
combined produce considerable more
cotton than Texas. Excessive rain
followed by drought and then shed.
ding and rust were the principal caus.
es OF lower conditions in most states
except where in addition to unfavora-
Bile weather the boil weevil is doing
considerable damage.
Our correspondents express consid-
erable alarm over the raVages Of the
weeyil, but year ago, it will be re-
called, these pests caused much ex-
citement in the infected regions, al
though subsequent estimates made by
the government statisticians, placed
the damage to the entire cotton crop
from this cause at less than 3 per
cent, and the Texas yield declined
only 26,900 bales with the previous
year.
In Texas the crop is fully one week
early. In other states it is generally
one week late. A year ago the crop
was two or three weeks late. In Au-
gust, 1903, the condition advanced
about 3 points, but dropped over y
points during September OF that year.
On the labor question it Is worthy
of note that the correspondents gen.
orally report no important difficulty
on that score. Missouri is the only
state showing improvement. This
was three point to condition OF 49,.
Oklahoma remains unchanged at 81.
Otherwise the declines eXten1 from
l point in Georgia to IA points in
Texas. The condition in these states
being 81 and IS respectively. North
Carolina declined points to 81, South
Carolina points to 80, Florida I
points to 81, Alabama ! points to 7e,
Mississippi points to>79, Louisiana
points to 10, Arkansas points to
IS, Tennessee points to 53, and In
dian Territory 8 points to II.

Gone to Rest.

Carlyle Mckinley, the sweet spirit
ed and beloved friend, has ended his
earthly work and now rests from his,
labors. For twenty years he was the
chief editorial writer Of The News
and Courier, yet we doubt if one
tenth Of the readers Of that great
newspaper knew that such a man
lived. To use the language OF The
State 'he was genius, we might say,
and yet he was just a steady toiler.
Day after day, quietly, unostenta-
tiously, modestly, be has gone about
bis work. The products of his brain
Lave been seen and talked about and
have left tLeir impression but the
man himself has been hid, as it were,
behind the journalistic entity which
he has done so much tc make. A
recluse, we might almost say, and yet
he knew human nature too well not
to be a man among men; a scholar,
he surely was; a philosopher, poet
and perhaps a prophet. The editorial
anonymity has concealed the author.
ship Of many Of his best writings, but
he has given to the world several
works that will live. His poem, "Sa-
pelo," is indeed gem. His Appeal
to Pharaoh" is a work which goes to
the bottom of the race problem and
offers solution that is brave, and
bold and yet philosophical" In his
death the State loses one Of her truest
and most devoted sons, and the
press Of the South one of it's most
gifted and brightest ornaments.
Modest as a maiden, retiring in dis
position, Carlyle Mckinley was most
lovable man, and those who knew him
best will regret his death most. Peace
to bis ashes.

tect and Contractor.

The summons in the matter OF the
State Of South Carolina against Frank
P. Milburn and others was fled Tues
day with the sheriff Of Richland
county. The charges are very direct
in their wording and the plaintiff
asks for damages in the sum OF $780,
900 for the unsatisfactory manner in
which the State house was completed
through the alleged fraudulent and
collusive agreement 20 cheat and de
fraud the plaintiff. -
The summons was drawn by Messrs.
Mitchell and Smith of Charleston, at
torneys employed by committee con-
sisting Of Senator Aldrich and Repre-
sentative T. Y Williams to prosecute
for damages under authorization OF
recent act Of the legislature. Ap
pended to the summons, is a copy Of
the contract between the State Of
South Carolina, through its commits
sioners, with Mr.. Milburn, and a
statement from Senator Aldrich in
regard to the findings OF the legisla
tive investigating commission, OF
which he was chairman.
The complaint AYERS that Edward
J. McIlvain, J. G.. .Unkefer, S. B.
Goucher and Jas. G. Johnston, form
ing the firm Of McIlVain, Unkefer &
Co., and Frank P. Milburu, architect
are the defendants against whom th-
suit is brought. The paper recites
that in February, 1900, the legisla,
ture set aside sl75, 900 OF the sinking
fund for the purpose of completing
the work on the State capitol, and
that the commission, with Gov. NJ. B.
McSweeney as chairman, selected
Frank P. Milburn as architect, and on
the llth of August, 1900, contracted
with the firm above named, the price
being s15S, 306.
It is charged that Mr.. Milburn
drew the contract and that upon his
certificate the contractor was paio
the whole Of the contract price wher
"the contractors claimed to have per.

contract.
