Personally^ do not Relieve the •rop oonditiofi is as good as reported, but if the producuon esoeede the oorsnmptionat will be s^carely *p to the Southern Cotton Aaeociation to devise some means by which this surplus cotton will be withheld from the market. It is absurd for the growers of ootton in the South to -allow an over production of five hun dred thousand or a miftiou bales to be used against them to beat down the prieeof ootton below the oost af production. This oetton question must be -held es a busioese ^proposi tion. We should grew it for the money there is in it and if we do not get nsonei’ out of it we should know the reason why. Kvecjbody will ad mit that eo far as South Carolina is concerned, this has been the most expensive crop she lias ever grown. The prosperity which comes as a result of rennmerative prices .for cot ton must not be checked. Every Southern man should give his best time and * talent to the solution of this proposition. The idea suggested by the Jierea sub-division is accepted by the writer of this article. J think it important to thesucoess of the en tire South that we hare correct re ports on crop conditions and it will aid me an making county reports to the head office in Atlanta. There fore 1 ask that each sotHlivision of Colleton name or designate some one an their club to collect these reports, and nil others interested in the wel iare of his home and country, though he may not be enrolled as a member in this great work, to make reports to me at Getainger, S C, of the true con ditiou of cotton by the 23ud of each month promptly, as my report must be in by the 25th of each month. These reports mast be on a normal condition of crop as compared with last year's crop, giyiug growth and vitality at the time of reportings with causes ot failure, and number otacree abandoned, where there will be no baie«> of cotton . acres planted.

Each one of thee* gentlemen has what he calls his platform of principles. Hoke looses him*- If as a great reformer— favoring r^gro disfranchisement and th^.tetter regulation^ of railioad traf fic; while Clark claims himself to be the ouly true organized democrat. Ail this is a mere bagatelle. As it is well known to men *-Lo are acquaint ed with them, these two men have always been bed fellows in politicr. 1 hey have been closest friends in each other* confidence in their individual efforts to shape things as they with. What now happens both wants to be (tovernor and that at the same time. Thia strong desire in both has given rise to personal abuse and raillery which far exceeds the limits of decency. ^ Tin* other candidates, Col J U Estill of Savannah, farmer Janies M Smith and Judge Richard B Russell are fine men. They are well qualified for the office of Governor. It is my belief, it is oth*’r men’s belief that either one of these men would make a better governor than Hoke Smith or Howell. The question now arises, will the people of Georgia leave out, in their choice, their test men for the sake of either one of the two men who have been in an incessant quarrel with each other for the office? It remains to be seen. Crops in this part of the State, at the present outlook, are very promis ing. The cultivation has generally been good and they are tree from weed and grass. The season was mostly dry and the first part of the sumnier, until July the 14th, the rains have been almost daily. Corn and cotton are in a vigorous state of growth and development.
