This would indicate that tho crop was at least two weeks earlier In ma turing and reaching the gins than in previous years. About 11,000,000 bales. Calculations of the year's total crop, based on tho ginning reports, would, therefore, probably ho moro accurate if figured on the November 14 reports of other years, fn previ ous record years, about 70 per cent has been ginned to that date and a rough estimate of this year's crop might bo placed at a minimum of 14,000,000 bales.

(iront Southron's Estimate of Ona li lies that Are Essential, Lee hated parade, display and cere mony, hated above all things being made an object of public gaze and adulation, says the Atlanth Monthly. His idea ol' high position was high responsibility, a superior was simply one who bad larger duties, and the mark of a getlenian was a keon sense of the feelings and susceptibil ities of others. No one has ever ex pressed this altitude more delicately than ho himself, in a memorandum found among his papers after bis death. "Tho forbearing use of power does not only form a touchstone, bul tho manner in which an individual en joys certain advantages over others is ?i test of a (ruo gentleman.

(Charleston PoBt, 8th.) Probably aa many as 2,000 people, manifestly Grace supporters, gather ed in front of the Hibernian Hall last night, and stood for hours to hear from timo to time the latest reports on club boxes. This crowd was In tho main orderly until about mid night, when lt was pretty well deter mined that Grace was In the lead, with the prospects of staying so, and then about f?00 of tho youngor ele ment gave free rc-in to their joyous emotions, r.rni the next hour or two were filled with scones of disorder and revelry. The windows of the News and Cou rier building, on Broad street, and of the Consolidated Company's office, on Meeting street, were smashed, and a demonstration for Grace had been made in front of .Mayor Ithett's resi dence. Special police squads suc ceeded in finally quieting the disor der. At Mayor Ithett's House. The first movement was made ? lit tle before 12 o'clock, after excite ment in Meeting street ran high, when word was passed along that Crace had a safe lead. When the Evening Post extras hit tho street, at about 11.30, showing Hie neck to neck race at that time, with Wards 9, 10 and ll not heard from, and Grace leading in those wards, the crowd broke Into wild cheering for Grace, and a little later a Grace victory was announced from h.s supporters nt the executive com mittee count. This precipitated the enthusiasm of the big crowd into a desire to ex press their approval by more than mere cheering, especially when Ward 1 workers came in with news of vic tory, and word from one of the Grace men quickly massed about r>00 young fellows into a mob, which thronged down Meeting street to Mayor Rhett's residence, where a halt was .nade, and Grace was cheered lustily and calls were made for Mayor Rhett. One of the crowd delivered a speech from Mayor Rhett's steps, and for some minutes a scone of great excitement followed. Beyond the noise and the massing of this crowd, no overt no? of v'->....T .vi? commit ted, the . rowd .

Grace was1 forced to respond to calls for his ap- | pearance at about l o'clock, when j his victory was clearly established, ! and he was greeted with a remarka ble ovation. To the City Hall Mr. (?race was carried, and there he de- | livered a brief speech from tho steps, ! and Iben was taken hack to ll Iber-I niau Hall on the shoulders of his sup- | porters. Al about :; o'clock Mr. j (?raer was offered a ride about town in a carriage drawn by hundreds of j his supporters, but he decll tod the bono r. A mob man bed down to the olfice of tho News and Courier and there made a hostile demonstration, hurl ing missiles against the lower win dows. As the glass smashed the crowd cheered, and made such a dem onstration that the police were called in to disperse them. This was ac complished without, serious trouble. Before the appetite of the mob for destroying property was satisfied tho windows of the Consolidated Com pany's olfice building at the front re ceived several volleys of stones, and this morning holes in the plate glass testified mutely to thc excitement of the night. This outbreak of last nigh! among some of the younger of the Grace sup porters did not have the endorse ment of Col. (?race and his lieuten ants, and they regret the disorder that developed into mob violence. It was a remarkable crowd, and on tho whole, the absence of lighting and more serious disturbances ls to be wondered at, considering tho pitch of excitement reached by the partisans In iront of the Hibernian Hall. Among the celebrants of the Graco victory in tho streets last night, though not in the crowd Ihn! de stroyed property, were a number of women, who cbceiod and acclaimed i he successful candidate.
