Conditions in Texas

Mr E L) Smith Writes Tliul

Fall Short.
The State.
Conditions in Texas as protiayod
l?y Mr 10 I> Smith arc vuiy
far from losouto as lar as cotton
is concerned. In his le.lcr lie
nays that the crop cannot equal
that of last year's hy one-half
million hales and that almost
everywhere replanting is necessary.
! 4lt ruins and no cotton planted
in Texas yet,"' Mr Smith says in
u letter from Tyler, Texas. " The
farmers have stopped soiling their
spot cotton hero, being convinced
at last that Texas can't make a
crop, no matter what the others
do.
4 4 From C>.il vest on on the south
of this place, wherecvcr 1 have
been, farmers, hankers and merchants
unhesitatingly tell me
that it is the worst prospect they
over saw for Texas to make a cotton
crop I've been in the Slate
now ten days and it has been
raining every day. I find one
factor in the reduction mnttci
which 1 never had explained hefort).
Mr Woody of Galveston,
an old cotton man, and a clost
observer, told nie that one rousoi
for Texas' largo cotton acreagt
last year was mainly due to tin
fact that in tlie winter previoin
the wheat and out crop was killei
by cold, and the farmers not il?<
land in cotton. This whs callec
out by my saying that fron
Shievoport to Dallas and fron
Dallas to Galveston I'd seet
thousands of acres in wheat anc
oats in which 1 saw last year'i
cotton stalks.
"No one can predict what thi
Texas crop will be this year
With all the favorable condition;
ot last season, the State mad<
500,000 bales less than her larges
crop. Sho has no chance witl
present conditions of making with
in 500,000 of last year's crop.
"While 1 am writing a terribli
storm is raging just south of here
Even where cotton was plantoi
the rains have so washed am
packed the land that repluntinj
is necessary. Altogether th
prospoct for Texas is as bad as i
can be.
"This is a grand country. Th
boll wcovil may prove a blessinj
to the State at last. This is t hay
grain and cattle country par ex
cellenee 1 'think tho prospect
are that those who have held thei
spot cotton (and other) will bo re
warded for their putioncc am
faith.
"Lot mo say in conclusion I ha
I've in no sense overdrawn th
picturo or misstated the fact
about tho conditions here,
leave for South Carolina ncx
week. After all, South Carotin;
is the best Stale in tho union."

Order for Mag* Made by the
Cbarleaton Concern.
Special to The State.
Charleston, May 11*?The idea
of a more general utilization of
cotton hags instead of jute is
spreading, as was evidenced this
morning in the receipt by the
Royal Rug and Yarn factory of a
largo^ordor from the Orange Rice
Mill company of Orange, Texas,
for bags, the mill having determined
to use cotton instead ofjnto
bugs. The correspondence of
President. (Jr A Wagner shows
that theie is a general interest in
tho subject and as a result of tho
agitation, thtro will bo a greater
demand for the southern staple.
A number of very large order
have recently been received by
the Charleston mill and there
seems to be a general appreciation
of tho benefits and advantages of
cotton bagging over jute through
this section. A* a result of the
incroasod demand for cotton flagging,
the mill is putting in additional
machinery and erecting
more houses for its opeiatives .
