come here to Columbia, and there may no.

a great deal of regret to discuss a subject whit
I-have feared for a long tune. No one will der
that there is a larga amount of" hereditary pr

cannot, be? overcome in a day, and I think

for persons, of color to bring this subject ni
There are many white men on tins floor wb
' "i?ye injured themselves by their devotion t
'?.the interests of the colored race. They hat
I! "been charged "With a deane to make the negi
rule the State. The passage of this bill will ti
proof to their minds that this view is corree
and if any evil should result from it, on yo
will rest the responsibility. I do not thin
there are many persons of color who are i
favor of voting themselves into a hotel or an
other place where they are not wanted, and
. would like to see more pride among the colore
- men on this floor than to attempt to vot
themselves into a body or society in which the
- are not wanted. The moment this matte
becomes a question of color it will drive i
great portion of the white Republicans out o
the party, it will array race against race, ant
furnish the best argument that the Demo
eratic party can use. It has been said tba
- social equality hes at the bottom of this bill.
It is for this reason that I appeal to the cati vi
born colored man who know the people of th?
State, and the prejudices which exist, not tc
' come in conflict with them. In the matter o
- business such a policy as is suggested will bc
most destructive. It may destroy hotels alto

ness which aepends for its life upon a hcense
Why should South Carolina go in advance o:

colored man privileges, whioh there he never
has asserted or claimed. Why then press thie
State in advance of the most progressive State
in tue Union in this progressive age ? Ljdesire
to call your attention to the fact that when
'thu bill is brought to a vote there are white
men on this floor who will not have the manli
1 - ness to oppose it.
" DeLarge. I call tho gentleman to order; he
< is speaking of members and calling them whi te
men. I object to the language used. ' The
Speaker did not sustain the point of order.
t Mr. Fern tex. The member may find as much
fault as ne pleases, but I tell him that the day
this question is made one of color I shall take
sides with my own race. When you array race
against race in this manner every white man
*^wno has any self-respect, unless he has a politi?
cal object in view, will quickly determine on
which side he belongs, but this is not tbe
question sow. I am here to tell you that you
are making a d ange roua .expriment, an
on 3 I will not register my vote in ta'
Bprirging so suddenly an issue fraught
disastrous results. I also tell the coloree
pie that the rights whioh they now enjoy a
the sufferance of. the whites. Trou have c
temporary majority. There is no emigi
from Africa, and your poplation Increasei
slowly, while the white man with wealth,
ligenoe and energy, every day adds 1
strength and influence of his race. Yo
therefore engaged in a most dangerous
cedure. Some of you like myself have
thrown into your present position by rc
tion-by accidental circumstances, and
hooves us to exercise the power thus obt
with caution and judgment.
Look about the State and you will find s
tenths of the colored barbers making a du
tion of color.
Jones, of Georgetown (colored). Doei
gentleman know any such establishments
Mr. Fe niter. The member has probably
refesad the services of a colored barber n
very town. This is a question which, ii
judgment, will largely affect the future
perity of the State and the welfare of the (
ed man. The majority of the colored peo]
the country won ld oppose this measure,
only intended to satisfy a few and to mab
lit ical capital for others who are depending
the colored vote for their promotion. I
that I sacrifice a large amount of populari
this floor and away from it, but I am o
those willing to face any responsibUity that
demands, whatever may be the cost to nv
My advice is, let this bill alone. I shill
ag&isst it?
B. C. DeLarge. If I had not heard the
mencement of the argument of the gentle
from Sumter, I should have concluded tbi
was attempting to pass the bill by a large
jority.' My objections to the bia, aa I ba*,
ready stated, wero not' to it a principles, bn
canee I wanted more uine for its considera
. and, if necessary, .ita. amendment. I beli
that it co old be bettered. Since that! has
been granted, I shall support the measure
its present shape. The gentleman from Sui
who has prated so much about the injury
was to be Jone.by it, has furnished us wit
admirable campaign document. Theargur
ne has used is an appeal to every colored
on this floor to vote for the bill without hesite
or modifiai tion. He has driven -in the
wedge he seems to dread eo much.
Now, the points he makes about social ec
icy are entirely foreign to the subject Nei
this, nor any other bill passed by the body

degree. He knows that as well as any mern
This is a matter that must retra?ate itself
Bide of all law, and we should be little bc
than fools were we to attempt to int?fere y
that subject at all. If the gentleman did
desire to make political capital for our enen
he would have assisted us a great deal by i
in g nothing, because he has used a line ol
gnment calculated to do injury not only to l
xxly, but to the people for whom he prece
to care so much, lt was a line of argus
which compelled every man to adopt a c er
course whether he desired to do so or uot.
own self-respect required him to do it. I ti
no auch trifling objections will be made ag
George Lee (colored), of Berkeley. I h
tins amendment will prevail. The gentler
from Sumter has said a great deal about so
equality-about breaking up the Bepubii
party, and about everything else save the qt
tion before us. Kow, if ho knows anything
all, he knows that every plank in the Bep
lioan platform is based upon equality bel
the law-equality in every particular in wh
it will regulate itself. Soc i al equality is a th
which does not enter into this question at
and if it did, it would be opposed with bet
taste by our side than by bim. n
The gentleman has referred to suffrage
Massachusetts. Let me tell him there is
distinction nude there on account of race
color, nor ia- there a. single inhabitant of i
State who live? out of' the sight of a sehe
house. It is under these circumstances tl
they have an educational qualification.- I
there is a statute, also, which makes it crii
nal for any man to establish a distinction
any kind on account of race or color.
'j he gentleman has said that this meast
will break up the Republican party. If he
not frankly and openly a Republican, let h
come out, as did his friend from Lexingt
(Mr. Lewie),- and declare himself, BO that '
may know where he stands: .but while !
works with and is .sustained by this party,
becomes him as a man to sustain al! the
measures, of which this is ons, which are o
erdated to secure its integrity, increase i
strength, and enlarge its influence.
Now I was not one of those who accompani
the excursion to Greenville a Bhort time ag
but I understand that on arriving there t
members had no place to go for a lodging. '.
.meet inst such an emergency aa this, 1 am an
ions that this bill shall pass, so that tho
having hotels shall be made to pay the penal
if they deny the accommodation a whioh we d
maud. And to this end, I appeal to every R
publican on the floor to pledge himself to i
equal and exact justice to all. That is the e
sence of this bill, lt is all we want ; it is th
which is secured touchy the Constitution
the State and the Reconstruction Acta of Co:
gross, and it ia what we must have.
B. B. Elb ott (colored.) of Barnwell. I wi
one of a number who doubted the expedient
of bringing for ward this bill at tli9 present tim
but after listening to the gentleman from Sur
ter, I should be recreant to my identity ti I r
mahned in my seat. That gentleman hi
.drawn a distinct line between the races on th
floor. He has told us that when the issue
made betwe rn tte white and the colored ma
he will be mund on tbe side of his own rac
I do not blame him, bnt I say that when he <
any other man dra .TS that line of distinction,
also stand with my race.
I desire to notice some ot his remarks, brief
but plainly. The gentleman alluded to suffrag
in Massachusetts, a State which, I thank Got
I am able to claim as the place of my na ti vi t
He tells us that we have an educational anal
fixation connected with the suffrage tnen
Either he forgot or purposely refrained to te
us why. Prior to the year 1857 Massachusett
allowed universal suffrage. Every man was
citizen. After the Bop iiblican party sprang int
life and in its boyhood grappled the Democrat;
giant, the people with whom the gentleman ;
identified (the Irish) began to be import?e
They were worse than the slaves of Africa, an
were found to be willing tools in the bands of
Copperhead Democracy that would have crust
ed me and my people, and antagonized the Dei
lara tion of Independence, that all men are bor
free and equal and endowed by their Create
with certain inali?nable rights. Finding tbi
condition of affairs, the Legislature of Masse
chusetts passed a law that no man should b
allowed to vote unless he could read and writ:
Wo found that many were debarred that priv
lege because they had come from the swamp
and bogs of Ireland. I am glad, however, to b
able to say there were few men of my identic
in Massachusetts deprived of such a boon b
such a cause.
It was with bad taste, therefore, that th
Sideman from Sumter drew such a line c
tinction. But since the issue hos bee]
made, I accept it, and much as I douoted ch
expediency of considering this bill, I sha!
now press il and vote for it, with all my ener
gy. If necessary I will make it stronger, act
stand upon the consequences.
The gentleman says it is we who are array
ing race against race. I deny it. The bil
contemplates nothing of the kind. It treab
only of public carriers, of persons engaged ii
public business, requiring license ; and I asl
the gentleman from Sumter, if we could dc
less as legislators than provide that no dis
tinction shall be made against us ? Would ii
not be bad taste for us to debar ourselves fron
the enjoyment of privileges we create foi
others?
Mr. Speaker, I hope that every man on thu
floor who claims to be a Republican will vote
for this bill. I will not insult the dignity ol
the House by appealing to race, or asking a
man to voce for it because he is either white
or black ; but I ask him simply on the ground
that the measure is right, and proper, and in
accord with the principles involved m tho whole
scheme of reconstruction.
Mr. Stoeber, of Marion (white). I am a Re?
publican, and have the principles of the party
as much at heart as any man, but, neverthe?
less, I deem it inexpedient to force this bill at
the present time, or until the fill elections have
taken place. I shall not, therefore, vote in
favor of it.
Rev. B. F. Jackson (white). Mr. Speaker, I
am not surprised at my difficulty in obtaining
the floor on this question. To my mind it is
one of the most vital issues that can bo pre?
sented either in this State or in the Union.
Hence, it is not surprising that it bas awaken?
ed so much discussion and excitement. My
heart is this morning rejoiced by the thought
that I am a member of tho Republican party
the citizen of a nation tho government of
which is based upon the rights ol manas man.
Our forefathers came here from tho old coun?
try in the midst of winter, suffered all the hard?
ships of a New England chino at chat inclem?
ent season, and exposed their Uves to the ven?
geance of the savage, that they might create a
colony where the rights of mau could be re?
cognized, aclinowledged and enjoyed. From
that colony has sprung up a people; from that
people a nation; from that seed a tree which
has* overshadowed all this land. The princi?
ples then planted we enjoy co-day. We are now
told that these principles are not to be realized;
chat we most not represent and acknowledge
the fruit which has been growing for two hun?
dred years; that we must not legislate in ac
oor?an co with the great principles of An
hberty and Justioe, which are the ret
these early straggles. We are told by
bera of oar own pvty that' it ia inexpea
recognize them, at this time-in other '
that we most still remain unjust.
Sir, I am no man for expediency. It ie
diency which has well -nigh ruined the i
Compromises have nearly overthrown on
eminent, and I believe in them no more
two hundred years we have been working
the idea of expediency, and the doctrin
deluged oar land in blood.
Sir, I am for meeting this question he
now, and better now than six months hi
better because we can meet it in South (
na in a manner that will be felt to the ex
ty of the Union. Thia State is peculiarly
ted, and we are watched. South Caro
conspicuous from the fact that shebas a
Republican majority, in proportion to hei
bera, than any other Southern State; fro
fact that her legislation in tbe present

outrage, injustice and dime; but a h

lion, hy tue election of tho present Legial
and by the induction into office of the pi
government, bas been forever redeemed

Now sir, I deny that to meet this issue
here will influence tbe fall elections to 00
advantage. But if I hou?ht it would dc
would still meet the issue. Even thou j
were to lose the election in the fall, I wou
let it be sacrificed-let the American peo]

Sir, I believe that the votes of this pp
when they roll up their majorities for G
and Colfax, will testify how ready they a
meet this issue, and for one, I believe th
will strengthen the Republican party to e:
ciate and firmly stand upon the policy set 1
in, this bill-namely, that tbe invidious
tinctions which existed in the past are he
forth to be buried in oblivion. These pi
dice?, must be- crushed out, because to yied
them wfll be to yield to the vital issues inv

I have occupied heretofore, which I ore
now, and shall always endeavor to maintab
I remember the time, Mr. Speaker, when
a boy these principles of justice and lib?
wen? instilled into me. by my father i
mother. ' Even in my childish years, I lear
the wrongs and sufferings endured by the
pressed and enslaved people of the South,
i was taught that no nutter what was the ct
of his altin, a man was a mon, and that the
of God as well as of society require i that
should be just to all classes ana condition!
humanity. These principles have grown w
my growth, and strengthened with
strength. I have heard them reiterated
?rablic meetings and in our churches, espec
y on our fast days, when perhaps tho pas
took for his text some selection from the Sci
turee like this :
"He that ruleth over man should he jus
ruling in the fear of God;" or UKO this : 1
this the fast that I have chosen, that rr
should bow down his head like a bullrush
day fer a mau to afflict his soul ? Is not t
the fast that I have chosen to loose the hoi
of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens t
to let the oppressed be free, and that ye bu
every yoke ?"
I determined then that my strength, int
lect and labor should be expended in pron
ting the cause of justice, lifting up the p<
and the down-trodden, and pleading with :
people to adopt the great principles which
at tue foundation of all true republican gi
ernments. I stand here to-day realizing i:
great measure the hope and ambition of :
youtb.
Now, sir, there is one question to wbic
wish briefly to advert. I rotor to the subj
of social equality. I deny that thu) bill cont?
plates social equality. Ita object is simply
secure in every business transaction equal a
exact justioe without an invidious discrimh
I tion on account of race, color or previous ct
ditton. The bill has nothing whatever to
with social equality. If two mon sleep in a 1
tel, or sit at the same table, or are guests t
der the same roof, or travel in the same cc
veyancc, tho idea of social equality is not n<
essarily involved. It is not BO uuder thc pr<
ent circumstances, and no law that we c
malte will force it upon the people. This if
question tnat must regulato itself, and depaa
solely upon the mental culture, character a
habits of those who may be brought into soc
relation. It cannot be regulated bv law.
I repeat, therefore, tbat tho provisions of t
bill are eminently proper, and if this body, wi
its majority of colored mon, do not declare tb
tho discrimination now made in business trat
actions, is invidious and contemptible, tb
will be false to their race, recreant to thc
duty, and unmindful of tue lessons of the bot
For two hundred years thu white has opprot
ed the black man of the South; absorbed b
earnings, grown rich upon the sweat of h
brow, drawn his life-blood and crushed his ai
bition. And now that tbe colored citizen hi
risen in bis might, and demanded tbo pr?
leges enjoyed by tho former owners of the so
demanded education and a participation in tl
enterprises of the age, shall the white man 1
permitted to crush out this desire, and pc
petuato thc unjust distinctions which bave e
is ted in the past? Is it consistent with It
publicanism, or with the theory ot JUT goven
ment, that these things shall be ? Is tree Soul
Carolina still willing to enforce those prcji
dices which underlie the history of a pone
during which the bodies and souls of mon wei
held ia a bondage worse than death ? I do n<
believe it, and for one am glad that this bi
has been brought up, so that hy our votes n
may record our determination to blot out tl
last vestige of a government which refused t
recognize all men as equals before the law.
W. J. Whipper, of Beaufort (colored). On
fact which impresses me very strongly is tb
absence of so large a proportion of our whit
Republican members. If l had not been bei
when the resolution was passed to drape tb
Speaker's desk in mourning for the late Mi
Stevens, I should have supposed that they ha
been killed off by the Ku-Klux-Klan and w
were mourning their loss. 1 look for some c
our congressional aspirants-for some who ar
aspiring to be commissioners-for others wb
have been elected as Republicans and who de
pend for their positions upon the black vote
but they are ail gone. This fact satisfies m
alono that this is a very important question,
honor that band of men (the Democrats) wh
sit yonder determined to vote against this bill
but for those who pretend to be Republican
and ore lurking around tho committee room
to avoid voting upon it, I have a supreme con
tempt. The gentleman from Sumter (Mr. Fer
riter) Bays that many Republicans bare los
their standing at borne by becoming identifi?e
with this party. Let me tell him that if his ii
the course the f intend to pursuo on this flooi
they will lose everything here also.
The question of social equality that hasbeoi
raised, aud about which the gentleman pratec
BO eloquently, is simply the old bugaboo will
which it is sought to intimidate the weak. Th h
is a question which will regulate iteelf, and nc
law can compel me to put myself on an equality
with some wbito men I know. Oar race do nol
demand social equal ty. They aBk simply tbeii
richts. Nor do they ask it as a favor. They
demand it as justice because tbey are men.
For two hundred years the white man of this
country has been closely allied with the black
man, and proof of tbis will he found in the fact
shown by the census of 1850, that there is a
mulatto in South Carolina for every white man
entitled to vote. Go to Virginia and you will
find 70,000. Or to Tennessee, and you will find
41,000 mulattoes. That is what I call the re?
sult of social equality.
Tho gontleman from Sumter says it will
break up the hotels. If he will go with me to
the kitchen of a first-class hotel he will see
there a big black man handling tho meat that
is to be eaten in tho dining room. Go to the
clining room and he will find him passing over
the plates with all the familiarity in the fl
Go to a ?rst-olass barbers shop, ana yon

Bat when the colored man asks tobe rt
sized as a man, and to be protected wil
stooping to tho performance of menial di
then he becomes an objeot of aversion, am
member talks about social equality, and ii
ines he must take you into his arms i
?>robably wonld your sister if she was
oolong. This is an outrage upon the coi
man. I want you to know that the black
bas been identified with the developmei
this country for two hundred years, and
every great struggle for the preservatio
her Uberties. In the language of Joh]
Whittier, their bones whitened every fie
tbe revolutioo, their feet tracked with t
the snows of Valley Forge, and they par
of all the hardships of the old prison ship
sey. Again, in the war of 1812 they respo;
to tbe call of their country; aud in the bra
a black man was conceived the idea of del
ing Ne A Orleans with cotton bales. Aga!
the late rebellion the services of the black
were required; and although he was at
told that this was a white man's war. it can
pass that they bad a little more dying t
than was agreeable, and he was allowed tc
list. The result was that when the war ole
two hundred thousand loyal colored
marched to the musio of the Union. Are i
men to be told that they are not to be c
with fairly, justly, and in accordance with e
principle of justice?
We are told that this measure will defeal
election of Grant and Colfax. My reply is I
that if doing right will defeat Grant and
fax, let them be defeated. If we have g<
stoop and cater to the prejudices of me
order to'effect euch an object, it were bc
they had not been born.
This bill proposes simply to prevent a
crimination on account of color in the com
of that business which depends upon the E
for licenee and protection. Remember tha
coiried the State in tho last elections, and
BO under an order ot General Canby, wi
forbid these distinctions as applied to corni
carriers, and if we cannot carry it again ut
similar circumstances the Booner we yield
control to others the better.
Let this bill fail, and what will be the ree
You, members of the Legislature, who hap
to have dark skins, will be compelled to rid
the smoking car, while others, like the pei
man from Sumter will sele t his seat m I
portion of the train wbich be pleases. I
this bill, and the condnctor who dares to
criminate against yon may be brought to ;
tice.. We have to thank God that there'
majority on this floor who cannot vote ot!
wise than for this bdL It is your duty to ;
it. I am not afraid of those who I know
vote against it, bat I do desire th it every
publican on this floor, white or colored, s.
record his vote, and to this end I call for
yeas and nays. I was about to say that 11
my eyes on some of these Republicans, bi
have not. You can't keep your eye on th?
but I have marked them.
The question was on the adoption of
amendment "oommon carriers or.
: Whipper withdrew his call for tbe yeas i
nays. It waa renewed by Mr. Smith, Dei
erat, and sustained.
Elliott moved a call of the House. Geo:
Lee said he wanted to see where every n
stood.
The call of the House waa made, the E
geant-at-arme being instructed to bring in
err man.
The question waa then taken, and was dec
ed in the affirmative as foL'ows : y eas 73, nays
[Many of the negro members were so excii
that they shouted "Yes, yea, yeal" Otb
aimply said "Yea, forever." The latter seen
the moat popular reaponae. Several white rr
attempted to explain their vote, but were i
permitted to do aa Several colored men <
oyed the privilege without objection. The
sue made was purely ono of race.]
On motion of George Lee, (colored) i
words "or charter" wereinaerted after the wc
"license" in the first section, and it waa th
ordered to a third reading.
The second section was then read.
Cain (colored) moved to strike out the wot
"six months" and insert "twelvo months."
Whipper seconded th a amendment.
Mr. Bollock (Democrat) endeavored to seen
a call of the yeaa and naya, but the chair c
cided it waa not in order.
Mr. Smith (Democrat) moved to atriko o
the word months and insert days. Yot
down.
Sasportaa (colored) moved to strike out t
words "five hundred dollars" and insert "a
thousandvdollars."
Both amondments were agreed to.
A great deal of manoeuvring was resorted
by the Radicals to prevent tbe Democrats fro
being heard or recognized. Tho previous que
tion waa called as soon aa some of the sectio:
were read.
Mr. Frank Sloan (Democrat) called the atte
tion of the chair to the fact that, according
the rules of the old House of Representative
under which they purported to be acting, the
was no call for the previous question.
The Speaker pro tem. said he couldn't he
that. Where the rules were not laid down f
tho guidance of this House, he moat act in a
cordance with general parliamentary rule
This pat a stopper on the Democrats, who d
sired to record their votes.
Air. S toe ber (Republican) desired to expiai
The House refused.
C. H. Wilder, of Richland (colorod), obtaii
ed the floor and was permitted to explain h
vote. He said the bill was impolitic, and won'
do ac injury to the party. Under certain ci
enmatanecs and at a proper time he would ni
hesitate to introduce such a measure hi ra s el
but at present he deemed the wholo thing m
wi-e and calculated to do an immense amooi
of harm to his race.
Various attonipta were made to "gag" Wild<
in his bold defiance of so large a majority, bi
ho stuck bravely to his text, and showed a di
grce of moral courage that was refreshing.
Sections 3 and 4 then passed by a vote of yea
71, nays 20.
fl. W. Purvis offered tho following as an ac
ditional section, but it was voted down :
"All associations holding a charter of incoi
poration from tho State, which shall discrim
nate as to membership on account of race, coi
or or previous condition, shall forfeit sue!
charter."
The question then recurro 1 on passing th
bill as a whole to a third reading, and on mo
tion of Mr. Crews (Hepublican), tho yeas am
nays being taken, resulted as follows :
Those who voted in thc affirmative on thc
passage of tho bill were :

000; except in the County of Charleston, where

Drifile, colored, introduced the following

A resolution was adopted providing for the
appointment of a joint committee from the
two Houses to inquire and report what busi?
ness was of the most importance for the Gene?
ral Assembly to transact at the present ses?
sion.
The rest of the session was occupied in read?
ing bills already noticed, and in the discussion
of the militia bill, which was bitterly contested
at every step by the Democratic members, who
fruitlessly endeavored to encumber its pas?
sage by dilatory motions. Fending its con?
sideration, the House adjourned.

Jillson introduced a bill to provide for the
appointment of a Board of Commissioners for
the Penitentiary, which was read the first

Charleston was taken up and passed, with an
amendment requiring persons offering to vote
for municipal officers to establish a thirty in?
stead of ten days' residence, aa proposed by
the bill.
The Senate then adjourned.
ITEMS OP STATE NEWS.
-Of the fifty men now composing the garri?
son at Aiken, 9. G., o.ily two are Radicals. The
soldiers everywhere are for Seymour and Blair.
-At a Radical gathering near McConnella?
ville, in York District, on Saturday last, John
Moore, a peaceable, honest and industrious col?
ored man, avowed himself a Democrat, when
he waa set upon by a large number of negroes
belonging to the Loyal League, with stones and
sticks, and beaten nearly to death.
-JosephP. Wallace, Esq., has been commis?
sioned as Clerk of the Court; Captain B. H.
Glenn as Sheriff; Frank C. Harris as Judge of
Probate, and Calvin vVhi sonant and Major B. F.
Briggs as County Commissioners for tbe
''County" of York. The commissions are sign?
ed by Governor Scot; and F. L. Cardoza, the
negro Secretary of State.
-Dr. Barton, a well-known citizen of Orange
burg District, is making a fine orop this year.
There is in this nothing remarkable, seeing
that nearly all Orangeburg is doing likewise.
But what is remarkable is the fact that Dr. B.
ia making a finer crop this year with four white
laborers, Iban he did last year with twenty ne?
groes.
-The Orangeburg News says: "A cool spell
of two or three days has dono cotton no good
The past week haa been devoted by our friends
in the country to stripping fodder; and all seem
pleased at the number of seemly cars of corn
that are to be found on tho stalk." Fodder, too,
is abundant. Bice' ie very promising, and
planters are happy and grateful.1'
-The Barnwell Sentinel Bays: "In this dis?
trict we continue to hear the most cheering
accounts of the crops, both corn and cotton.
The quantity of cotton planted is small com?
pared to that of last year; but what there is
looks well, and will turn out well. The corn
crop is the best that has been known for years,
and the yield will be larger. Intelligent plant?
ers think it may be bought for fifty cents a
bushel. A good time is coming."
-The Chester Standard says the cotton crop
is tbxivhig finely throughout tho district. The
want of rain at the proper time, in some sec?
tions, has somewhat shortened it, but still, aa
a general thing, good crops will be realized,
tho growls of naturally dissatisfied persons to
the contrary notwithat&nd ng. We make our
statement on tho supposition lhat it meets
with no unforeseen accident. In every other
department, the farm and garden bids fair to
meet tho requirements of man and beast.
