His Last Poem.

The Charleston Post says the last
production of the lamented CARLYLE
Mckinley was a poem Of two stanzag,
which was published in The Century
for July Of this year. The poem was
published under the caption OF "The
ToilerS," and was undoubtedly the
poets farewell to the world in which
he lay suffering when he wrote it.
The beautiful little poem best sums
his philosophy OF life and shows his
unperturbed spirit more clearly than
could any words of those who mourn
the passing OF the golden hearted
gentleman whose genius inspired it:
All day the toilcrs sigh for rest,
Nor lind it anywhere.
The sun sinks in the darkling west.
And they forget their care;
Tired hands are folded on each breast:
The Lord hath heard their prayerl
Through all our lives we pray for rest,
Nor find it anywhere.
Then comes the Night with balmy
breast,
And soothes us unaware.
wonder much-"And is it Death.
Or but an answered prayer?"

The State says the government is
sending out in South Carolina,
through Section Director Bauer, stat
istics concerning the boil weevil. The
Weevil is making rapid inroads in
Texas and from July Is to August 81
it became known in many new locali-
ties in the Lone Star State.
Cotton continued to make good
growth and is fruiting and boiling
well, with bolls opening and and some
picking being done; on account OF hot
weather aud boil worms the crop has
suffered some damage over nearly all
portions OF the section, especially over
the Chickasaw and Choctaw nations.

ed; generally the crop condition and
prospect continues good" says the
Oklahoma and Indian Territory re-

The Texas report is not more cheer

suffered decidedly from the dronth

counties. Boil weevils are punctur-

southwestern, central, eastern and
coast divisions and are doing much
damage as far north as Dallas, Kauf-
man and Hunt counties. The bolls
open rapidly, in some localities prema-
turely, and picking is now in full pro-
gress. The staple is generally re-
ported to be rather short"

LAST YRAR's COTTON CROP.
It Amounted TO Little Over Ten
Million Bales.


Million Bales.
From New Orleans the totals Of
Secretary HestteeT's annual report oif
the cotton crop Of the United States
were given out Wednesday evening.
They show receipts of cotton at all
United States ports for the year,
1882, ,222, against 1874, 1O4 last year;
overland to northern mills and
Canada, 939,94 against 1,O83,383;
southern consumption taken direct
from the interior Of the cotton belt,
1878, ,2O9, against l.920,072, making
the cotton crop Of the United States
for 10000 amount to 1O,O11,374,
against 10,727, $50 last year and 1O,-
$50, $50 the year before.
Colonel Hester has made his usual
investigation into the consumption of
the south and has received reports by
mail and telegraph from mills consum-
ing cotton in the cotton growing
states, Including wooden mills that
have used cotton and the results show
q total Of 1,091, 252, but of this 1OO,-
043 were taken from ports and in
cluded In port receipts. This shows
that the mills of the south have used
up All bales less than during
l9O2,03 and 1878 less than during
1901O2, the decrease being due to the
unsatisfactory condition Of the goods
trade and the relatively high prices OF
the raw material compared with the
manufactured product during most of
the season.
Colonel Hester's full report will be
issued Thursday or the day after and
will contain interesting and valuable
facts, showing the consumption Of the
south by states, the takings and con-
sumption Of northern mills and the
worlds consumption Of American cot.
ton. He will also give the crop by
states and facts in. relation to the in

1t is said that probably never since
the Civil War has there been such suf

and New England among cotton
operatives and manufacturers. The

Gone to Rest.

Carlyle Mckinley, the sweet spirit

earthly work and now rests from his
labors. For twenty years he was the
chief editorial writer of The News

lived. To use the language of The
State "he was ageniuS, we might say,
and yet lie was just steady toiler.
Day after day, quietly. unostenta-
tiously, modestly, he has gone about
his work. The products OF his brain
Lave been seen and talked about and
have left tteir impress sion but the
man himself has been hid, as 1T we're,
behind the journalistic entity which
he has done SO much to make. A
recluse, we might almost say, and vet
he knew human nature too we'll not
to be a man among men; a scholar,
he surely was; philosopher, poet
and perhaps prophet The editorial
anonymity has concealed the author
ship OF many OF his best writings, but
he has given 10 the world several
works that will live. His poem. 'Sa.
pelo," is indeed gem. His "a Appeal
to Pharaoh" is a work which goes to
the bottom of the race problem and
offers a 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 nest
