President LincOln'S Dream

Inquiry had been made as to army
news on the first meeting of the cabinet
and especially ii any information had
been received from Sherman, says
Gibson WelleS in his diary. according
to the Atlantic. None of the members
had heard anything and Stanton, who
makes it point TO be late and who has
the telegraph in his department. had
not arrived. Gen. Grant, who was
present, said he was hourly expecting
word. The president remarked it
would be had, no doubt, come soon.
and come. Favorable. for he had last
night the usual dream which he had
preceding nearly every great and i'm
portant event of the war. Generally
the news had been favorable which
succeeded this dream and the dream
itself was always the same. / in
quired what this remarkable dream
could be. He said it related to your
(my) element-the watcr-that he
seemed to be iii some singular indie
scribah!o vessel and that he was moving
with great rapidity toward an indefinite
shore. That he had this dream pre-
ceding Sumter. Bull Run, Antietam,
Gettysburg, Stone River, Vicksburg,
Wilmington, etc. Gen. Grant said
Stone River was certainly no victory,
and he knew of no great results which
followed from it. The president said
(that) however that might be, his dream
preceded that fight.
II had" the president remarked
this strange dream again last night,
and we shall, Judging from the past,
have great news very soon. think it
must he from Sherman. My thoughts
a,e in that direction, as are most of
yours.
l write this conversation three days
after it occurred in consequence of
what took place Friday night and but
for which the mention of this dream
would probably have been noted.
Great events did. indeed. follow, for
within II few hours the good and gentle,
as well as truly great man who
narrated his dream closed forever his
earthly career.

]. H. EASTMAN
Invites His Friends to Join Him Tonight
in the Court House-An Alignment
on a Live Issue.

My friends and supporters are re
spectfully asked to meet me at the court
house Tuesday, September 20, at 8 pm,
for the purpose Of organizing my cam
paign for mayor 90
Were the choice for mayor purely a
personal matter, | should feel hes1tan-
cy in asking my friends to give the time
from their private business to further
my individual interests; but it is a mat
ter of public concern. The advocates Of
the commission form of government are
to be congratulated on the overwhelm-
ing victory they have won at the polls,
and they are entitled to have it inaugu-
rated and tried by its friends.
In the beginning I aligned myself with
those who favored the proposed change
in our municipal system, and | an
nounced my candidacy for mayor only
under the commission form of govern
ment as | did not care for the Office un-
der the old charter. For those who diff
fered with me as to the expediency or
wisdom of the change, have no criti-
cism; we both acted as we thought for
the best interest of the city; they had
the same right to their opinion as |
have to mine; many of them were my
friends and supporters. I am not ego
tistical enough to say that they were
wrong and l was right, but I sincerely
believe that | was right as the future
will show.
| believe that every citizen, and par
ticularly a candidate for office, should
carefully study every new problem in
municipal government and give the citi-
zens the benefit of his ciews, whatever
they may be. In every such question in
the future, as in the past, | shall deter
mine to the best of my ability what is
best for the city, and then take an ac
tive stand one way or the other. Very
respectfully, J. H. EASTMAN.

WEATHER AND CROPS
Except in Texas Cotton Is Late All
Over the Belt-Weather Has Been
Favorable for Harvesting Corn.

New Orleans Picayune Sept. 10: The
past week has been generally favorable
to the crops from a weather standpoint.
There has not been very much rain in
the cotton belt except in southern Texas
and along the immediate coast of the
gulf. The tropical storm which was so
much feared passed inland through
northern Mexico,> and consequently did
no damage to the cotton crop, but gave
southern Texas abundant rain.
Towards the end of the week temper
atures have been somewhat too low in
the central and eastern parts of the belt,
which may be considered drawback, in
view of the 1ateness of the crop and the
consequent risk that it may be damaged
by early front before all of it has had
time to fully mature. Except in Texas
the crop is late all over the belt, and
only very recently has picking become
any way general.
The weather has been favorable for
lilS lldt SSSlEiiS VI lllS Soiil SlOpt SASSpt
along the gulf coast, where too much
rain has interfefed. The South as a
whole has produced a record corn crop,
hence it is highly important that favor
able weather should now permit of the
yield being saved in good condition.
The rice crop is proving somewhat
disappointing III the matter of yield per
acre, and too much rain has delayed har-
vesting and shipping operations. The
crop will be smaller than last year, but
nevertheless sufficient for requirements.
A period of dry weather is now desired
by farmers to permit them to gather and
ship the balance of the crop in good
condition.
In the sugar district reports containue
TO be optimistic as to the condition of
the cane crop. Rainfall hah been some
what unevenly distributed, too much in
some places and too little in others.
Still the cane appears to be growing
steadily and a heavy tonnage is now in
dicated from all appearances.
In some parts of the sugar district too
much rain has interfered with fall
planting and the gathering of hay and
corn, but the growing cane has not sdf-
fered. Dry cool weather from now on
is desired to mature the cane prior to
the opening of the harvest season, which
is still month off

THE COTTON CROP
In the Northern Belt 1t Is Maturing IT.
regularly-No Injuhy Would Result
From Frost.

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. I8.-The fol-
lowing summary Of cOrron crop condl-
tions will be published by the CONNER
cial Appeal tomorrow:
The cotton crop is coming to maturity
in irregular manner. In all parts of the
South, save the most southern parts,
there are needs of a frost In all sec
tions also there are fields which have
apparently come to full growth and will
make no more cotton. In such as these
the bol1s are opening rapidly. 1t ap-
pears that on the whole the past two
weeks have brought the crop toward
maturity more rapidly than the farmers
had anticipated. AS a result there are
some complaints of shedding in the val
ley and the Atlantic states. In the lat
ter, however, the shedding does not ap-
pear to have been so great as is usual
for the season.
1t is estimated that so per cent of the
fruit in the stalk in the northern district
is matured and can not be hurt by frost
In southern Texas, southern Georgia
and Louisiana estimates on the matured
cotton run 80 to 100 per cent. In Okla
homa and Arkansas the crop appears
taller than elsewhere. Some of the
Oklahoma reports say that early COM
plants of damage by boil worms were
overstated, although it is evident that
the promise is not quite as brilliant as
at one time indicated.
A late frost would add considerably
to the yield. The making of top crop
will depend, however, upon late frost
Farmers are generally marketing cot
ton freely.

Another interesting feature of the
Louisiana exhibit will be the elaborate
photographs and diagrams showing how
the engineers have given each reclaimed
farm independent waterway transporta-
ton to New Orleans by making all the
drainage navigable canals and connect
ing them with navigable rivers, bayous
and lakes, which in turn connect with
the Mississippi.
Still another interesting exhibit will
be an embossed and framed copy of
Louisiana's constitutional amendment,
carried two years ago, which perpetually
freed from all taxation all money in
vested or to be invested hereafter in
land reclamation and land development
work. The great activity now being dis
played in retaining South Louisiana
marsh lands was wholly impossible until
this constitutional amendment became
effective, and the benefits following close
on the heel of its adoption have encour-
aged the rural districts to support other
broadly wholesome legislation.

INCREASE IN POPULATION.

The Times-Democrat' Baton Rouge
special says: The only sections of the
State showing an increase in population
equal to expectations are those lying
adjacent to the Illinois Central railroad
In Northwest Louisiana, Shreveport and
surrounding country, there is a distinct
gain. The parishes along the Mississip-
pi river show little or no gain and in
most instances a falling off in popula-
ton. This is attributed in some of the
parishes to the departure of thousands
of negroes when the cotton crop failed
a year ago and labor migrated to Mis-
sissippi. The possibilities of the State
are comparatively unknown, and the
means of securing immigrants used in
other sections of the country are un-
tried.

POPE Plus
His Disapproval of the Dress of Women
of Fashion.

Atlanta Constitution Rome special of
Sept. II: Pope Plus x. is, above all
things, a reformer. He is up-to-date in
many respects, but there are some things
concerning which he holds to old-fash-
ioned ideas. He loves old friends, also
books, the old style of music and the
good old-fashioned style of cooking. The
holy father, however, thinks the world
of fashion is about fifty years ahead of
the time. He recently declared that
some women were running mad in re-
spect to dress. He was not averse to
women making themselves attractive; in
fact, it was their nature to do so, but
he said there was wide difference be-
tween fashionab1y dressed woman and
a woman whose dress bordered on the
indecent. He has requested bishops to
use some remarks on the subject.
Acting upon his suggestion many
priests in Milan, Turin and Venice, the
latter his old home, have taken up the
matter and in their sermons have de-
nounced women, young and old, who ap-
pear publicly in "scandalous attire" One
priest at Milan said that women of that
class were a menace to their families
and to the community He also said a
woman who appeared in the chanticler
outfit needed either the care of an ex-
pert on mental diseases or the surveil-
lance of her relatives. Many women
indorse these utterances.
