Neill's cotton estimate has thrown a ilmper upon the cotton growers throughout the entire cotton belt, and as soon as it was published, down went the price and the hopes of the planters. It really looks as if the frown of ruin is on the cotton belt; every other industry seems to pros per and share in the rise of p.ice ex cept the cotton industry, and why? It i3 because the cotton industry is confined to the South and is its prin cipal product. The people are de voting their entire energies towards growing the staple and do not give enough attention to other products. True, it is not as bad now as it was a few years back, tobacco in some sections came aiong as a God-send; it drove debt before it, and lifted up many who were down under the crushing wheels of misery. Time is a a great teacher, and it will not be many years before our farming peo pie will be forced through starvation to let cotton alone and seek some other crop to get money. Some peo ple attribute the low price of cotton to speculation and we use to think that way, but as we grow older we are convinced that speculation has very little to do with the price, but the real cause is that.quantity exceeds the demand. The mills in Europe and America have cuantities of stock on hand from last year's crop. The manufactured goods are crowding every market, and as long as this condition exists there is absolutely no chance for an increase in the demand for the raw material, and as long as there is no demand for rawv material just so long will the price be kept down. A few years ago wheat in the West lay as dormant as does our Southern cotton now, and the farmers became restless and were disposed to blame the government, speculators and everything else; wheat was flat, and all the grain ele vators were full with no market. All at once the gates of Europe flew open because jhe crops across the ocean failed, and the result was that in a short time the elevators became emptied and the demand for wheat ran up to a fabulous price. The farmers of the West were benefited by the crop failure in Europe, and unless misfortune overtakes the cot ton crops of Texas and Mississippi our farmers need not hope for a bet ter price, and they will find that Neill is not as far wrong in his crop estimates as many writers think. Governor McSweeney in his anxie ty to have the dispensary law enforced without friction has sent out a circu lar letter to the municipalities, urging them to co-operate with him, and it is indeed encouraging to read the replies from the Mayors and Inten dants, all of whom so far heard from promise to aid the governor. If Gov ernor McSweeney finds that the lo cal authorities are making diligent efforts at enforcing the law, his pur pose is to save the State thousands of dollars, now being paid out in sala ries to constables who are stationed in the towns and cities. Every move ment made by the governor shows him to be a man of practical business and not one of these flowery dream ers, and if the people will hold up his hands, it is our honest judgment his administration will be the great est success we have had in many years. Governor McSweeney is a dispensary advocate, at the same time he believes the law should be, and can be,enforced without the fric tion that has heretofore attended it. He is desirous of demonstrating to the people the necessity of respecting all law, and he has adopted a wise course to bring about such a happy result, wve believe. The parties who have not paid their notes to the penitentiary au thorities are to be sued. and it is ex pected that a cr iminal prosecution will be brought against Col. Neal, notwithstanding the fact that be has had the money ready to pay any shortage, the committee would find against him. Under the circumstances we doubt very muuch if a criminal prosecution would hold. Neverthe ing for an indictment, ad it would not surprise us at all, if he does have to appear in court upon a criminal charge. The way some newspapers are mis representing Senator Tillman, re minds us of their tricks in 1890, and it was for. such dishonest practices that the people turned against those newspapers and helped Tillman on to victorv. Senator Tillman made a speech at Greenwood, and the pa peis opposing him are quoting hi) as g.iving utterance-s to sentiments which no sensilble man would make, and if the enemies of Tillman will not give the man credit for the good lie has done, they will at least not have the hardihood to charge him with being a fool. It now t urns out, since all of the papers have taken a whack at Till man for his alleged offensive utter ances at Sumter, that it was not him who said the "Prohibitionists were hypocrites and cowards," but the slanderous charge was made by Hon. E. D. Smith, the man who ran on the Prohibition ticket for Superin tendent of Education. Republicans are pouring in on MC Kinley their advice for speedy end ing of the war in the Philippines, and it is apparent that this is having its effect on the President, for it is now said that 50,000 soldiers will support Otis in the fall for the next campaign against the Filipinos. It was wrong to demand absolute and unconditional surrender of the insurgent Filipinos. What we should have done was to offer them indepen dence under our protection. War would have thus been averted. Now and then the death o! free silver is announced, but no one has yet produced proof of the corpus de licti. Aguinaldo should now place a law yer at the head of his War Depart ment and proceed with the fight. Washmilgpatoni Letter. iFrom or.r Regular Correspondent ) Frequenters of the War Depart ment, which continues to be the busiest of them all, are reminded by the present situation, of the adage about the difiiculty of teaching old dogs new tricks. There is a new head to the department, but the ma chinery is just the same that it was during the Alger regime, and there is the same dhsinclination to tell the public anything that can be hid. Al though it is well known that more men have already been enlisted than will fill the original announced num ber of Philippine regiments of volun teers, and that enlistments are still being made as rapidly as possible. War Department officials say that no o>icial decision has been made to in rease the number of regiments, and that no additional call for volunteers is likely. Th'lis is nothing more than qibbling. It is so certain that more regiments will be organized that lists >f their officers have been made out. As to issuing a new call for volun eers, none is necessary to continue the recruiting up to the limit fixed by Congress-35,000 men. As a mat ter of fact, no call was issued when the present recruiting was begun-a simple order of the secretary of War was issued. Senator Clay expresses the belief that there will be an antiexpansion lepublican presidential ticket in the field next year, and that such men as Tom Reed and ex-Secretary of the Treasury Boutwell, of Mass., will sup port it, and that its vote in Ne'N Eng land will be large enough to throw the electoral votes of those States to the Democrats. That nearly all of the negroe's trouble has its origin in bad advice, given sometime thoughtlessly and not a few times with the malicious intention to make trouble is well known to those who have taken the time to study the race problem. A Washington lawyer deserves a place among the bad advisers of the negro. He stated, in an argument in defence f a negro who was charged with be ing disorderly and found guilty and fned, that his client would have been justified had he shot the policeman ho arrested him. If some negro desperado who heard that statement should kill the first officer who at tempted to arrest him for some petty rme, wouldn't that lawyer be an accessory to the murder? The administration crowd is really becoming alarmed at the extent >f the "nigger" animosity to Mr. Mc Kinley, and the word has been passed around to the "nigger" office hold ers to whooixp it up for the admninis tration at every turn, and especially to try to counteract the anti-McKin ley talk at the gathering, in Chicagvo, to be known as the Afro-American Council. The negro voters of Ohio have it in their power to make it im possible for the Mc~inley-Hanna candidate for governor to be elected; consequently, they are being 'jollied" by everybody connected with the adminstration, but some of those "niggers" are just smart enough to make it plain that an office with a good salary attachment is the only sort of a jolly they will take from the ad ministration. The revival of the story alleging the intention of ex-Czar Reed to ie main in Congress and lead the fight against expansion, on the floor of the House, probably had no more sub stantial basis than a desire to worry those republicans wvho for one or another reason welcome his ret ire ment from Congress. Even if he re mained in the House, he woold not lead the fight on imperialism; that patriotic duty will be performed by a democrat. I Representative Bankhead, of Ala., was in Washington this week. He was indignant because of a publica tion several days ago alleging that he attended an nti-Tryan meeting at Saratoga. Speaking of it, he said: 'I havn't been in Saratoga and it is well known that Alabama is a Urvan State. We will send an instructed Bryan delegation to the next national convention. Bryan is the logical can didate, and he will be unainiously nominated, and he will be elected, too." The Sampson el*igne taking advant :ge of the alisence of Mi. \lcKiulev and Seeretaiy Long, is again schei it-g to -et orders issued by the Navy Department for Saumpson's squadroni to go to sea to meet Almiral Dewev aid escort him into New York har bor. Sampson isn't satislied wit b his attempt to rob Schley of honors bravely won, but has the nerve to try to share in the honors that will be bestowed on Dewey, and unless the clique is called down by Mr. Me Kinley or Secretary Long, he may succeed in getting the desired or ders. Already acting Secretary Al len has ordered Sampson to prepare plans for the participation in the navy reception of Dewey. STATE OF OHIo, CITY OF ToLEO ', LUCAS COUNTY. F i J.

A Camp Instituted in Manning. General Joseph L. Stoppelbein, deputy soverign commander for the Woodmen of the World, in this State, instituted Water Oak Camp, at Mlanning, on last Friday night, aud duly installed the following oflicers: Dr. C. B. Geirger, consul commander; J. H. Timions, adviser lieutenant; 11. A. Wilson, of Alcolu. past cIsuil; S it. \N'.' ing, banker; Iate .11. Lryea, clerk; Jarnes M. Windhamu, escurt; Dr. C. B '.iger, physician. When Gien. Skopppelbr i tiir-t clim? zto anning many ol bis Iriends tillJ him otoit it woul be impossible to estibdish a camp here, owing to the- lack of irnterest taken it, fraternal orders; he promptly replied that he bad "heard it befo-r"," hut as the grand success of Woodcraft was owing to a large extenit to its persistent tield work, he pro p~oed to show the people that a flourishing Camp of Woodmen could, and would be established here, and that it would be a blessing to the community. It must be ~aidt to his cred.t that his indefatigable eergy h.as been amply rewardled and we trust that Water Oak Camp will thurish. \With Dr. Geiger at the helbi, we canno: but predict success. The new miembiers re very enthulastic over the order ando the deputy has c ansent to altlow the charter ist to remain opien fir a few days in order hat others may come in as cbarter mem >ers at the regulitr charter tee of $10. It .s :ndlerstood that all of the officers have lbe iecssary bhwnks for applicants. There are about one hundlred Coups in Sout h Carolina at this time, and the Order , very popolar throughout the United tates and . Canada. Woodcraft is to enable its maembership .o miniister to the ufflheted; to relieve dis ~rese; to seek empiloymenit for those with ut it; to cast a sh.eltering arm about the le:enseless lhving; to give an honorable burial to its sacred deal; to place a per uan-,nt token of thetir esteem upon hi, rave; to so impress thte grand doctrine ol :he brotherhood of man upon its member ship as to muake it an inmportant factor in :hir daily lives; to encourage broad, chari iable viewh; to make them more intelligent atizens, truer friends, gentle sons, uwore :houghtful brothers, more considerate hus bands and more reiasoniable fathers. It is not for the advancemient of the interests of ny denomination dogma. It is not a re ~ruiting ottice for the saloon, or an Asyluim or that class of men who are too lazy of body and mind to make an honest offort n their owvn behalf in the battle of life. It for mutu:a benefit when misfortune as uals theta. It is for substantial aid to heir loved ones when they are gone. It s for the entertadinment of their families, ad friends in social sessions, lud thus Lore firmly weld the fraternal bonds. vhich so pleasantly unite them, and finally t is to build a progressive and piermanent astitution, which shall prv a "valiant Knight' in the defense of home, and couna :ry through the coming aiges. It is for so ial benefits upon the highest social prin ipes known to the morad law. It is for bu-ineiss benefits upon sound, conserva ive business principles. With such objects in view its wonderful sieccss is easily explained. Owing to pressing prolessionial engage teats Genieral Stoppelbein could remain n town but iwo or three days, but he promises to make another trip here soon indi by his aid and encouragement foster ;he local camp until she is well unmder way. A special~ meeting of the camp will be held 'riay evening to receive further maei bers. 3Iillions Given Awamy.
