OCTOBER, --- - 13, 1897.
Il the government report on
the condition of'cotton on the
first ol October can be relied <>n,
it certainly warrants higher prices
for cotton. We know how the
crop is in this staie which is put
at 71 by that report. The same
report puts Texas at 04, which
means but little more than a halt
crop lor that great cotton state.
NOTES AN]DOOMMKNTS.
Some people seemed to be surprised
when they found out that
a majority ol the members of the
Legislature were in favor ot holding
on to the Dispensary law in
spite of Judge Simonton's efforts
to kill it. But it wasn't surpris
ing at all to people who had
enough confidence in the ineni
hers of the Legislature to believe
that they thought South Carolina

ami not to a Federal .Judge. .Nor
was it surprising to anybody who
wasn't loo blind to see, and
thought the Legislators could see,
that the Dispensary even with
Simonton's original package
houses, is vastly better than any
other system that has been tried
here?or elsewhere. I don't believe
anybody can dispute this
who has eyes to see.

there is a wonderful change in r
