i iVOL Y1L THE COTTON FIELDSFurther Discouraging Reports From Sooth Carolina and LouisanaA correspondent of the News ami I (\>uri> r writes from Marion county, S. (J., as ft N,ws; I see the estimate of the cotton I 1 crop for South Carolina is put down I at !U) tier pent, manlier than last. (year. When the returns are all in it will lie found that this is too conJ servative an estimate. So far as Marion county is concerned, the cotton crop will bo at least 50 per cent, below last year. In the first place there was at least 15 per cent, less area planted; then, too, <?() per cent, less of fertil/.iers were used. The heavy rains of July cut off the July [ crop, the main crop in this section. The August drought, with the high temperature, Masted the top cotton and hut little was left. Last year up to this time there had been shipped from this point 128 hales?This year only 51 hales. I . heard one of our best farmers say that last year he made 145 bales of cotton, but this year on the same land with equal manuring he is satislied that he will got only 05 bales. He has already picked out 25 bales and his estimate on what is left in the field is It) bales. His judgment on such matters is rarely at fault. Last night I heard another good farmer say that last year on 43 acres of land he gathered 51 bales of cotton, and this year on the same land lie would barely get 30 bales. The same farmer runs a public gin in his neighborhood. Up to last night he had ginned this season 130 bales?last year up to the same time he had ginned 280 bales. A correspondent of the Charlotte Observer writing from Shreveport, I.a., takes this gloomy view of the outlook in the Led river valley, one of the lincst cotton sections in the country: About Shreveport the people who raise cotton are despondent. All this lied river valley was overflowed laie in the spring and the replanted crops have not done well at all. I met to-day Dr. Dixon, a large planter, who lives about twenty miles north of Shreveport, on the lied river, and lie says that in a scope of country in which he lives there is ordinarily made about 15,000 bales of cotton. This year he says there will not be 5,0(H) bales made on the same land. Coming up from New Orleans, I noticed that the cotton plant was small and not well fruited It seemed dull in New Orleans, but in Shreveport it is worse. I am told that west of here in the black land of Texas the crops are good. | Saturday NightV . ifappy is the man who has a little ' home and a little angel in it of a Saturday night?a little house, no matter how little, provided it will hold two or so; no matter how humbly furnished^provided their is hope in it.

"In all my experience 1 never witnessed anything more glorious. There were no artificial lights in the chamber.

He spoke to his wife about an hour before he died; and his words to her were the last he uttered. Lady Tennyson bent over her dying husband and he whispered to her. His features in death boro a look of absolute peace. Lady Tennyson bore her athictionwith a fair degree of fortitude, but is nearly prostrated by grief and fatigue. Soon after tho poet's death the sky which had been clear, became cloudod and the liodit. of the ninnn vvna nh -0 " ?" " "" scured. Shortly afterward rain fell heavily, and the scene contrasted strongly with that which had ilium inated the parting hours of the great poet.

Showing Up McKinley. New Yokk, October 11.?Representatives of the business clubs of this city, which advocate the election of Cleveland and Stevenson, have issued an address to the voters in which the principle involved in i L ft? -mr % %% me Mciviniey Dill is roundly do nounced as a long step backward in the direction of feudalism and as leading to the creation of a class of citizens protected by the Government from the operation of natural laws against which the great majority of citizens have to contend. The address alleges that tho price paid for such protection is fealty to the Republican party, and liberal contributions of money for its perpetuity. The charge is made that the alleged solicitude cf tbe Republican party for t\ie workingmen is not sincere, and, in support of this statement, figures are given which are intended to show that protection neither protects the laboring man nor aids in the industrial development of the country. "Ho True to You )NWAY, S. <J., ' Among the clubs singing the address are tho following: Produce and maritime merchants, drv goods trade, stock, petroleum, colTee and cotton exchanges, hide and leather, jewellers, fur and hardware trades, and lawyers, insurance men s and custom house brokers end forward ers' organizations. A Colored Bishop's AdviceAtlanta Constitution. Nashville, Tenn. October 11. (Special.) Bishop John M. lhown, of the African Methodist Episcopal church, is out in an open letter appealing to members of his church to either vote for Grover Cleveland or stay away from the polls. Bishop Brown, who lives in Washington was here today on his way to Pulaski where he will preside over the Tennessee conference. He says he has changed his politics because his race has nothing to hope for in the republican party. lie says he does not believe it to the negroe s interest to ally himself solidly with any 0110 party, but he should vote with that party from whom he has most to expect. 111 an open letter addressed to the members of l is church and which ho gives out today Bishop Brown comments on the fact that the negro has for thirty years voted the republican i:ni. 11- . - ..; - < i ( unci* wiiiiuui rccognmon. uc con trusts this record with that of Mr. Cleveland's administration and points out Hcts of Mr. Cleveland's showing his friendship for tin* negro, lie then says: "The question conies to us what is our duty? Shall wo vote for Mr. Cleveland or for the person who has no thought of the negro except on election day? It is not social equality we asl< for, but wo do ask that we ho treated fairly. I now appeal to you dear brethren to think before you act and do not act so as to engulf yourselves in other and more severe diflicultjes from which all the future will be unable to extricate ourselves or our children. If you cannot consistently vote f<?r Mr. Cleveland, then stay away from the polls. We have asked for bread but we have received a stone. The time has come for us to act decidedly. Yours for humanity and the race, "JOHN M. BltONVN." Bishop Brown says he has talked to many intelligent negroes who conclude with his views. Edward Atkinson nn state BanksAtlanta Constitution. Mr. Kdward Atkinson, the wellL tinii/B nnr\n/vrniof l*i?o ?? l??l t i>> 'IMm I1IIVIIH vvvnuiiiiot) 11 <i o <% Ii;i,u I ill 1 II*' Boston Herald in which ho takes the position that the time lias undoubtedly come for the repeal of the 10 percent tax on the issues of state banks. This clear-headed financial expert sees no way to have an elastic currency that will adopt itself to the conditions of our internal commerce unless wo revive state banks. '1 he volume of national bank currency is all the time contracting, and these banks must in the course of a few years become extinct. It is time to provide for a change in our financial system, or the country will be so inconvenienced by its lack of a proper circulating medium that the popular discontent will drive the government into an inflation of currency that would be disastrous. Mr. Atkinson says: The popular cry of a few years since for more greenbacks, and the recent fie.mind. e^nneinllv in ?!>.> ? , J south and the fvir distant west for the free coinage of silver dollars, may be almost wholly attributed to the lack of elasticity in the circulating medium, consisting of a limited amount of United States legal ten. der notes and national bank notes. The increasing demand of the country for more notes or sonto kind of instrument to bo used as money suitable to be passed from hand to hand in small transactions has enabled the country to absorb the silver notes issued as a representative of the silver in the treasury. The necessary use of these silver notes in daily transactions in connection with other forms of circulating medium, has, up to this time prevented their being returned for redemption to the treasury in any dangerous manner; thereby the treasury has been enabled to maintain tho whhlo volume of currency up to this time at a parity with the lawful unit of val uo, or dollar made of gold. How long can this course be con tin ued?. It has loner been manifest that a substitute must of necessity bo found for the national bank notes. Sooner or later, earlier, perhaps, than most people expect, the United States bonds which are available to secure the circulation of the national bank notes will be paid or purchased in pursuance of the sinking fund act. What then is the alternative?. It is rightly the function of the United States government through congress to forbid the states by a prohibited lax from organizing a sys r Word, Your Work and Y THURSDAY O tem of banking in order to facilitate the tariff of their respective states, or to enable each state or each neighborhood to conduct its own transactions on the security of the capital and credit of its own citizen? And again he makes this point: A ? <> 11 u? tmmiln ill t fun iliulnnf stall's uiul territories to bo deprived of or forbidden to provide themselves with a currency or circulating medium, which is not capable of being forced upon any unwilling person, but which may rest wholly upon the confidence and credit reposed in the management of local banks by the people of that special neighborhood, i secured in such a way as each slate j may Hud suitable and safe? The effect of the prohibitory tax upon the state batik notes is to do; privo states of the opportunity to | servo themselves. It is a merely partisan pretense to say that this is a movement logo back to the "wild ! cat'' currency of fifty years ago. He is not afraid o? wildcat money. I In these days of quick and ready i communication a state bank would ! not bo able to force a bad note upon the coihmunity. If a state bank is i not properly guarded and supervised, and the people distrust it, there is no fea" that its notes will circulate, or if they do they will bo quickly presented for redemption. The natural conditions of business are our | safeguard. The people demand an elastic and safe currency and capital ists will find it to their interest to supplv it as soon as we restore the j state banking system Mr. Atkinson thinks that this should not be made a party question, lie advocates it as a sound financial reform. Wo commend his letter to our republican contemporaries as a complete answer to the charge that the advocates of state banks are simply a crowd of southern adventurers who i.csire tn Hood the country with wildcat money. ?? The Colored People. More than two hundred years ago a vessel landed on the James River I in Virginia. The people watched it las it steamed up to the harbor did not think it different from other vessels they had seen; yet it contained such cargo as had never been landed on American soil. On this Dutch Man of War were twenty human beings who were brought there by men greedy for gain, to he bought and sold Other countries had been buying these poor captives, and our ancestors said, Why not we? So they did, that day, in August, 1020, buy these twenty souls for the purpose j of holding them as slaves. There were many protests from all over the j land aga:nst this bartering of hui man souls; for the right thinking men in all ages have looked upon bondage and slavery as a revolting, but there wore also many who did not think it wrong, or who were too callous or avaricious to care; so our land hecamo filled with These peo pie. Since their introduction among us it has been a grave question with the God-fearing men of the United States as to what could be done for their moral and spiritual improvement, for we must not forget that they come to our forefathers without knowledge of God and Christianity, depraved and barbarous. During the long years of slavery much was done for them by Christian masters and mistresses whose own hearts, warm with the love of God went ont with strong desire, that these his creatures should know the blessings of tho gospel of Christ. The writer well remembers a Sabbath afternoon scene, vividly impressed upon her childish mind, when the sei vants from a large plantation came up to tho master's house whilo he with open Bible instructed them, as was his custom. From its organization our Home Board was instructed by the Southern Baptist Convention to use all diligence in its efforts to give to these 1 - 1. ii f ' ? ? puupiu h auowiougeor tne trutn that alone can make one froe. That it did faithful and honest work can he shown by the fact that its missionaries sent among them reported many conversions; while through the work of these, and that of many of the best Baptist preachers of our land, there were ?t the close of the war, hundreds of thousands of Baptists throughout the South among ho negroes. They canto to our ancestors uncivilized and barbarous. Freedom found most of them with some knowledge of God's word, whilo many of them wero haptty Christians trying to do his will. Many men felt when freedom our Country" CTOBER 20, 1 came to thutP that our responsibility was lifted, but not so thought our Homo Hoard. To day its interest in this race is more a'ive, and its efforts more active than ever before. The Hoard is awake to their needs and longs to rouse the individual Christians of our land to the fact that at our very door are those who need and want I'tdicrimia tmmliiixr If iu ~ fe* ?? ? i.ot necessary for us to take a step to line this branch of work for God and humanity. In our own homes we can aid thom by example and instruction, it is our duty and God's I command to us to teach all nations, and we should not fail to remember, pray f<?r and help the colorod people i of the South. Shall we feel an interest in the salvation of all other races, and shut our eyes to the great needs of this one in our very midst? Well might the Master say to us as to his disciples of old, ''lift up your eyes and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest." We have but to lift our oyes to see the grand results that will come from earnest work in this vast field of labor. Let us pray that God will givo us Christian grace to be willing ! to expend ourselves for even tho poorest of his creatures, looking to him for wisdom and guidance, ami for the blessing he never fails to bestow upon all work done in his name.

Here is an address they will issue to the : Allianoeinen, standing the future I policy, etc., upon which any one can have his political opinions: To the Alliance and public of South Carolina Representing the board of directors of the Alliance Publishing Coin pany, the undersigned committee begs to state that the Cotton Plant which has been heretofore publised by that company litis been this day leased by Mr. .1. W. liowden for a term of years, and under such restrictions as appear hereafter in this ! statement. The solo causes which led to this I action by the board were business j considerations; that is to say, purI suing this course the directors hope to improve the paper in such manner that interest in it will serve to make a financial and general success .1... c... 1 I 111 mo i mure ussureu. It was found that to conduct the j paper under tlio direct uianagcniont of a board of directors scattered over tlio State, complicated matters to such a degree that it was difficult to make a business success of the enterprise, and it was decided that to place it under the direct supervision of an individual who was qualified and interested was the proper course to pursue, hence the change. The only matter in the transfer, and the only provision in the contract that can be of public interest is that the editorial policy of the paper will he in accordance with certain rules prescribed by the board of directors. That the paper will bo a power for good, and that its helm shall bo so guided that material progress shall ho subserved and public good , promoted, wc havo only to refer to the well known gentleman who comJ po.so this board, and in whom the people of South Carolina places the most implicit confidence.

It wil not agree to give high places in the people's service for money.

Wo cull for means not only to spread the truth among the people, and to aid in getting to the polls tho full and honest vote of the masses, but also to detect, to prosecute, and to punish crimes against the purity of tho ballot, wheresoever in the United States they are perpetrated, and by whom sover committed or directed." "Every indication points to tho defeat of the Minneapolis candidates and to the trimnphant election of Cleveland and Stevenson. The popular will clearly favors the Democratic cause. All anxiety about the State of New York is allayed and she will give her electoral voto to our candidates. All reports from Independent and Conservative sources in other parts of the country are exceptionally promising. With vigilance and timely action everywhere, which, with your aid, we pledge, an honest ballot will he polled, counted and declared throughout the country, and if this is done defeat is not possible.
