C., July 6.?It is stated here on good authority by a man who has traveled over the entire belt within the last few weeks, that the cotton crop of the year will be fully 18 per cent, lower than that of last year, although the government report puts it at 11. This authority says that a close scrunity of the conditions in the various parts of the country can leave no doubt whatever that the crop of 1905 is way below that of 1904. Several causes, it would appear, tend to the belief that the crop this year will be below that of 1904, and that the price, in consequence, will be more to the liking of the producers. The first reason assigned is that while the reduction in acreage is not what it was intended to be, it is, nevertheless, particularly noticeable that much of the land planted in cotton last year is either being planted in other crops this year or being laid off. Throughout some sections this reduction is more notice able than in others. Besides the redaction of the crop, it is said that in some sections of the cotton belt excessive rains have set the farmers bo far back in their work that they have found it impossible to catch up, and in consequence have abandoned large parts of their fields. They were, it seems, unable, after the rains stopped, to keep up with the grass, and fche.only thing to be done was to cut off a large part and go to work on the other. Scarcity of labor is also tending to a large redaction of the crop this year. This has had a most telling effect on farm work and the result is that much work has been neglected simply because there was not sufficient labor to handle it successfully. In many sections of the country where negro labor is used almost exclusively, there has been a noticeable lack of help, and many hands have quit the farms for what they call "public successfully." The result of this large reduction in the cotton crop cannot have any other effect than reducing the total number of bales to the ten million figure. That being the th9 case, it is not at all improbable that eleven or twelve cents will be the prevailing price for the staple this fall. Col. Richard Cheatham, of Georgia, well known as an expert on cotton raising, said today that the estimate of ten million bales was substantially correct and that in his opinion twelve cents would be the prevailing price when this year's crop is marketed. Colonel Cheatham was further asked what the general reduction of the crop would be, and he replied that on account of the conditions n 11 .1 i * i t namea, me reaucuon would oe considerably more than that placed on it by the government report. "In my opinion," he said, "there will not be as much cotton raised as is now anticipated, and the price will, or ought to be, at least twelve cents."

Considering the great amount of work there is put upon'the publication of a newspaper, aDd the coBt of getting it out, there is nothing made and sold which brings so small a price.

The Dispensary Under Fire. The Carolina Field. In different parts of South Carolina persistent attempts are being made to bring on a genera! attack on the dispensary law and to root it out. As an entirely independent observer which has no axe to grind The Carolina Field thinks the attempt unwise. If this general fight were for the purpose of enforcing the law and of remedying what evils may exist then it would commend itself to thoughtful men. But the same tactical blunder is being perpetrated that enabled Senator Tillman, at his last election to score the greatest triumph of his career. It is clear to anybody, not blind to facts that the present fight is in the interest of high license many openly claiming it and maintaining a stand fnr hioh Haaiira Ifc is true that other counties besides Pickens and Cherokee might vote out dispensaries, and under the law they have the right to do so. But that does not affect in any way the principle at issue. In its very essence the dispensary law is a popular law, depending for its support on popular will. It is the only law, so far as is known, that Strike Home 1 ?if he cares to do so?can tell g tie about the bulk coffee he g t, where it originally came from, g it was blended?or With What 1 when roasted?

ERS EVERYWHERE gives protection us well as reveme back to the rural districts Uader high license it is inevitable that towns will again pass into the control of the liauor element and the experiences of tbe past be revived People who shout about ''Blind Tigers'' now apparently forget that they flourished under high license and always will. The whiskey dealer is sure to have his fences to handle goods after hours and in places of unquestioned bad repute, thus bringing about the worst alliance on earth, that of dives and bar rooms. As Jefferson Davis pointed out high license is in its essence un-Democratic. It fosters a preferred class so powerful that wbeD once in power it is practically impossible to do anything but bow to its will. Any reader of magazines knows enough of the fearful corruption of the great cities to learn what awaits the community that entrusts its city government to this element. If the good people of South Carolina will turn in they can enforce tbe dispensary law, and if properly enforced, it is the Dearest approach to a Rnlntinn of the Honor Question vet devised by man. State monopoly exists under both prohibition and the dispensary. Under the dispensary there is power provided to regulate and to reap the revenue for the State. Under prohibition there is no power and the result is chaos, moral and material. The Diamond Cure. The latest news from Paris is that they have discovered a diamond cure for consumption.
