 As evidence of the lateness of the cot ton crop hereabouts the oil mills have not yet turned on steam, at least only two of the four mills here yet gone to grinding seed. It Is announced, how ever, that the remaining two mills will begin work on the first of October. There are two causes of the delay, no doubt. First. the crop is late by three weeks, only about fifty bales having been re- ceived at Jackson. whereas several hun dred were sold here before this date a year ago. Second, the farmers are holding their seed till the price shall have reached that fixed by the Farmers union, $l9 per ton, and many of them declare they will not sell at all till the mills come to those terms. In conse- quence of the delay In starting the oil mills a great number of negroes remain idle, or are working only when com pelled to do so.

The Capital of Fashion.

It is the Parisians love of beauty that constitutes his chief claim to leadership, says the Delineator for September. Beau tiful clothes are only one expression of love for the beautiful, and until we in greater number develop this love and strive to interpret it in every form. dress included, we cannot hope to rival the French. A
 The now so general buying of French models is the best possible proof of French influence on American dress. And even though the present agitation against the too frequent reproduction ot French models has justly excited much adverse feeling, the French model shows no sign of lessening its vogue. It is pos- sible that the Frenchman may be more particular about turning out duplicates, and that the Americans who buy will ap- ply their originality to improving their French purchases by means of changes that will make the gowns different. This is the view of The Delineator staff in Paris and surely tbeir united opinion is of value.
