Cotton Crop Estimates. Owing to the excellent picking sea son, there is a disposition to increase the estimates of the cotton crop. La tham, Alexander & Co. estimate the crop at 11,000,000 bales. The crop of last season—the season of 1901-1902— was, it will be remembered, 10,681,000 bales. According to their information, the States that will yield less this sea son than last are Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Louisiana. Those whose yield will be greater are Arkansas, Mis- sippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Oklahoma Territory and Texas and Indian Territory. The increase in Texas and the Indian Territory will not be nearly as great as it was thought earlier in the season. Last year it was 2,993,000 bales, and Latham, Alexander & Co. place the yield this season at 3,200,000. Taking the whole cotton section into consideration, this season has been very much more favorable for the crop than the last was. A marked feature has been the very mild fall, and as the plant matured early it has had ample time to ripen. Pampered Dogs. Every dog must have his day, and in the canine controversy now raging, let him make his protest. What would be the language of its howl ? “Save me from my friends.” “Give me liberty or give me death,” Who can but pity the pampered animal in the unnatural en vironments furnished by its selfish mis tress, who for a fad and fashion must keep a “dorg?” Dragged ignobly by a chain when it takes its outing, twisted and pulled, debarred from the choice bits of offal which it loves, slave to its owners’ whims and kisses, I truly pity them. Both mongrel, puppy, whelp and hound, And curs of low degree. Let the little child come in now for the caresses and care lavished on the brute, and both will be happier for the change.—New York Times. Probate Sale. John W. Dunbar, C. C. C.
