YORKVILLE. S. C. :
THURSDAY MORNING, NOV. 15, 1883.
THE NEXT CROP.
A Mobile correspondent of the Marion
True Democrat says: "Should the farmers in
the cotton States awaken to the duty of the
hour, and reduce the area of cotton next
spring, to about 15,000,000 acres?giving the
extra 2,000,000acres to grain and grasses?the
effect on prices would be salutary, and the
dawn of a new era would appear." The
same writer insists on a judicious system of
home-made fertilizers and thorough cultivation,
and confidently believes that 12,000,000
acres in cotton will produce all that the
world will take at remunerative prices, and
that the lands now under cultivation in the
cotton States would, under such a system,
give profitable employment to an increased
population of 5,000,000 souls, and would produce,
in addition, all the grain, hay and potatoes
needed, and subsist hogs, cattle and
mules sufficient to meet the entire Southern
demand.
READ YOUR POLICIES.
Twelve years ago an insurance agent,
now a ward politician in Atlanta, induced
Mr. Massey, of Macon, to take what Massey
claims was a ten-year endowment policy in
the Cotton States Insurance Company. Massey
took the policy without reading it,
stinted himself for ten years in order to get
money to meet heavy drafts on him for
premiums, and at the expiration of the
time, took the well-preserved policy out of
his chest and went ot Atlanta for his fortune.
Arriving there he was told that the
paper was but an ordinary life policy and
he would have to die to win. He instituted
suit against the company for equity,
and the case has just been decided by the
Supreme Court. The Court decides that by
. the use of ordinary diligence Mr. Massey
could have known what the paper was, and
refused relief. Insured people in Georgia
are now reading their policies very carehilly.

V THE COTTON CROP.
Returns to last Saturday from the corps of
correspondents of the Department of Agriculture
at Washington, relative to the cotton
crop, show a slight improvement, since the
last report. The weather has been generally
favorable for picking, and in portions
of the fields the- top crop has yielded
better than was feared. There were no
frosts in October except on the Northern
border of the cotton belt, and at least an
average length of seasons is already assured.
Returns give county estimates of average
yield per acre aud aggregate product compared
with the crop of last year. The indicated
product, considering rate of yield and
acreage, is nearly 86 per cent, of last year's
crop. The averages of yield per acre are :
North Carolina 160, South Carolina 143,
Georgia 132, Florida, (for sea island and upland,)
98, Alabama 128, Mississippi 175,
JLouisiana zz?, Texas iw, ivrKansus zov, ieiinessee
181. The product compared with
1882 is: For North Carolina 80 per cent.,
' South Carolina 84, Georgia 90, Florida 98,
Alabama 91, Mississippi 80, Louisiana 86,
Texas 80, Arkansas 87, Tennessee 95.
PROHIBITION IN GEORGIA.
Georgia had an interesting campaign on
the liquor question during the past week
in the five leading counties. The wholesale
liquor dealers, whose business is being
badly broken up by the continued restrictions
upon their trade, sent out agents with
whisky to influence the voters. In Taylor
county, Cooper King, a drummer of a Macon
wholesale house, after buying twentyfive
votes with twenty-five drinks, was
arrested and is held under twenty-five warrants.
The county was carried by the whisky
men. In Meriwether a little fight was
made, resulting in a victory for whisky.
In Floyd, prohibition was also defeated.
Campbell county, however, voted prohibition,
and so did Cattoosa county. Actual
prohibition now prevails in over one-half
of the State. In the elections to come the
wholesale whisky men of Atlanta, Macon,
Augusta and Savannah will enter with vim,
furnishing all the liquor needed free. Free
whisky absolutely controls the negro vote.
In Worth county, where prohibition now
prevails, merchants have resorted to the
subterfuge of selling brandy peaches. The
grand jury now in session have taken hold
of the matter, and the merchants are begging
for a chance to reform.
LAST WEEK'S ELECTIONS.
Important elections were held in ten
States on Tuesday of last week. Public interest
was centered mainly upon Virginia
and New York, as being regarded pivotal
States, and the fact also that in Virginia a
powerful effort was being made by the
Democrats to rid the State of Mahone bossism.
Their efforts were crowned with greater
success than was supposed could be achieved
with the odds against them. The popular
Democratic majority in Virginia will
reach 20,000. The Legislature is Democratic
by a majority of 24 on joint ballot, and
the Readjuster or Mahone party is routed
and disrupted. In that State the victory is
compared with the Hampton success in
South Carolina in 1876.
In Massachusetts, Robinson, Republican,
defeated Ben Butler by 10,000 majority.
The State voted Republican, though political
divisions were lost sight of almost en
tirely, ana tne question was jsuuer or anuButler.
While Gen. Butler was the Democratic
nominee for Governor (though Butler
had but recently been a bitter Republican)
thousands of Democrats refused to support
him, and voted for Mr. Robinson, the Republican
nominee ; and, on the other hand,
thousands of Republicans refused to support
Robinson, and voted for Butler. The issue
was narrowed down to a personal one?Butler
and anti-Butler.
In Connecticut the Republicans have won
a very substantial local victory, although
the result has no possible bearing on Federal
politics. The election was for members
of the Legislature, and the result is a large
Republican maj ority i n both branches. The
State has a Democratic governor elected last
year by a majority of 4,000.
Minnesota elects the Republican State
ticket as she always does.
Mississippi elects a Legislature with an
overwhelming majority as she was expected
to do. The joint Legislature will stand,
130 Democrats to 25 Republicans and Independents.
The Democrats elected 11 out of
12 district attorneys.
In New Jersey the Democrats elect the
Governor (Leon Abbott) and a majority in
both branches of the Legislature. The Republicans
made a strong fight there and
their defeat is a severe one.
Nebraska, which was long ago conceded
to the Republicans, helps along the Democratic
tidal wave by electing Savage, the
candidate of the Democrats and Anti-Monopolists,
Judge of the Supreme Court over
the Republican nominee, that being the on
! ly office seriously contested. The Republi-!
! cans defeated the combined Democrats and
I Anti-Monopolists last year by 23,000. This j
j is an astonishing Democratic gain. j \
New York has elected the Democratic 11
| State ticket with the exception of Maynard, T
: candidate for Secretary of State, who was j
beaten by the liquor men on account of his ^
prohibition record. The Legislature is sup- j
posed to be Republican, although the ac- j
counts regarding it are still very confused f
and conflicting. The Republicans have certainly
gained very heavily?much more
than was expected, although a loss from the
mammoth Democratic majority of 192,000 o
last year was known to be inevitable. The ?
latest revision of the returns from New
York giveCarr, Republican, for Secretary of
State, 17,663 over Maynard, Democrat. e
Chapin, Democrat, for Comptroller, 16,- j
284 majority over Davenport, Republican. c
O'Brien, Democrat, for Attorney-General, s
8,776 over Russell, Republican. The majority
for O'Brien does not include the figures
of Kings county, which will probably give
him 2.000 more. The Assembly will be v
composed of 72 Republicans and oG Demo- 1
crats. The Senate stands 19 Republicans v
and 13 Democrats. In Brooklyn, Lowe, Re- *publican,
for mayor, had 1,840 majority. J1
Pennsylvania has elected the Republican 1
candidates for Auditor General and Treasu- c
rer by 2,000 majority. This is a heavy Republican
loss from last year when the combined
Republican vote exceeded that of the n
Democrats, who won by a plurality over s
the divided opposition, by 32,000. The h
Democrats carried the State this year by I
18,000 majority outside of Philadelphia, but p
that city gave a Republican majority of si
20,000. f
Maryland elected an entire State Democratic
ticket, the majority for McLean, for
Governor, being about 8,000. Both branches
of the Legislature are Democratic. n
ECHOES OF^THlT ELECTION. *
Politicians in Washington are inclined to n
the opinion that the elections of hist week ,
materially change the political aspect for ?
the Presidential race. Republicans who '
have recently been despondent now believe v
that the "grand old party" has a fair fight- s
ing chance for the next Presidency. Hope
has taken a fresh grip and the signs of
promise are considered abundant to warrant
rejoicing. Government officials go about i
with smiling faces once more and the clerks v
are elated. y
The ground for this, in the language of a 11
high official, is: "We would have been
beaten already had we lost both Virginia ii
and New York. The loss of the latter and d
the gain of Virginia would have been an ^
Equivocal victory. We should have renuirnri
thp Virginia and North Carolina _
electoral votes to offset' New York, and the J
carrying of any Southern State in 1884 was, n
and is, stiil doubtful. Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts are Republican States, and I
never doubted the result there. Now, what
this election means is that the real battle ci
ground is shifted to New York again. The t<
next candidate must be a man who can f
carry New York. It is a triumph for Ar- F
thur. Look at it as you may, it gives him F
a surer footing for the nomination. It also ?
? laces Tilden in the front again, for many
democrats think he is the only one who
can carry New York. There is no reasonable
hope of us breaking the solid South. .
Let it go and Mahoneism with it. We 11
must have New York, and yesterday's re- d
suit shows we can get it." fr
The President has openly expressed disappointment
thatMahone was defeated, but
he is so well pleased with the gains in New
York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and n
elsewhere that he is not greatly disheartened.
He had hardly hoped for a Ilepubli- .
can victory in Maryland, though he had
been Heartily anxious to aid lur. iioiien. r
Secretary Teller says that he considers But- ?
ler dead as a door nail, and that Mahone is f,
lying very low, but he is not positive that
the Iteadjuster may not have life enough
left to stand on his feet next year.
In New York it is conceded by the more
astute politicians of both parties that the
elections have demonstrated several things 01
which must exercise -a commanding influ- ,
ence in the future. Firsts that the greatly
reduced Democratic majority on the State
ticket, with the defeat outright of Maynard, T
as secretary of State, eliminates Governor c<
Cleveland (who insisted on Maynard's nom- p
ination) from the possible list of Democratic
candidates for the Presidency. Second, v
that the capture of both branches of the
Legislating by the Republicans defeats the e
programme of "Boss" Kelly, and secures to si
the Republicans the United States Senator T
to be elected by that body in 188-1. Third, ^
that, as a consequence of this, the "Boss"
will be unable to play the anticipated role
of dictator in the National Convention. ^
Fourth, that Ben. Butler, as a possible h
Democratic candidate for the Presidency, a
has been relegated to the same category with s
Governor Cleveland. Fifth, that the ex- p
periment of running a prohibition candi- ^
date 011 a Democratic ticket will never
again be repeated in this State as long as t<
German and Irish votes are required ; and d
lastly, that the election of a nominal Republican,
Setli Lowe, as mayor of Brooklyn, p
with the help of the Citizens' organization
and the Independent Democrats, is a severe,
if not a fatal, blow to "Boss" rule over
.there. There is one distinguished Democrat,
however, who, I am told, is supreme- ,
lv happy at this turn of things, and that is
the venerable statesman of Gramercy Park.
One of his most trusted friends said this d
: ?i ii?
murmur wiuiuui nit; Augment tiKuuiwtu- u
tion, "The way now is clear for a renomina- f(
tion of the old ticket. Cleveland and But- (j
ler are now bowled out, and no other man
but Samuel J. Tiklen will be able to carry
this State next year." I cannot ascertain
whether the house-warming at the Gramer- C'
cy Park mansion, which was to come off T
immediately after the election, if the result a
was satisfactory, and to which the Tarn- 1,
many magnates were to be invited, has '
been indefinitely postponed. Mr. Kelly (1
would not talk about it this afternoon. ^
With a Democratic State majority of near- p
ly 192,000 a year ago cut down now to a com- ti
parative nothing, along with the loss of sl
secretary of State, and this, too, with all 'fi
the factions pulling in the same harness, no
wonder "he was not in the vein." a
The New York Tribune says: "Tuesday's fl
work makes Republican success possible in v
the next presidential election. Last year ?>
showed what a mere administration candidate
could do in New York. This year
shows, under the most adverse circumstances,
what candidates simply Republican
can do. With equal unity of effort next 0
year, and the candidates as acceptable, New
York may clearly be made a Republican 1
State in the presidential contest." In regard
to Butler's defeat the Tribune says: ii
"In the interest of Republicanism we
would be inclined to regret this result. The C(
defeat of Butler removes him from the list
of Democratic candidates for the presi- ^
dency." j.
