Cotton During July.
The New Orleans Times- Democrat!
printed in its issue of July 31 re- i
ports from correspondents throughI
out the cotton belt in which a comprehensive
history of the cotton
crop during last month was given.
* The service rendered by the TimesDemocrat
was particularly timely
Pand useful by reason of the uncer?
tainties occasioned in the public
mind by the trouble in the Statistical
Bureau at Washington. Reviewing
the results of the investigations
made by its correspondents,
The Times-Demoorat comes to six
interesting conclusions:
|$. "1. Taking the belt as a whole
jrc the status is pretty much what it
was at the end of June. The change,
? if any, has been in the direction of
slight improvement.
"2. The crop is exceedingly
V spotted, sharp deterioration in some
districts being offset by equally
K marked betterment in others.
"3. There has been some further
abandonment of original acreage in
consequence of excessive rainfall."'
u4. Generally speaking there is
too much weed and too little fruit
Es
u5. The boll weevil has made
its appearance in some parts of
Texas, but no important damage
, appears to be expected.
"6. The situation may be summed
Bjfc; }
up by saying that the outlook is
^ #. a j.1 1
' critical, -feriect weamer anu a
rj-q late frost must be had to avert a
jj|? disaster."
These opinions are not, of couise,
final, but they are unquestionably
|V valuable. The Times-Democrat
seems to have used the utmost pains
W; in collecting and collating its facts,
and it deserves thauks and appreciation
at ^ie hands of the cotton
? interests of the country for this conJ
|
* tribution to the general understanding
of a situation upon which so)
?? inuch depends industrially.?Ex.
Where he Stands.
And I now sav that if the legisfe
l*fniv? iuiiir in newer does not. at its
next session, change ;he law so as
to reform the system, I will under
take, if I am living and well next
summer, to tight for a legislature
that will reform it. I do not stand
|fr for a debauched and corrupt dispensary.
I will not fight for such.
But I do staud for rht* system as it
was tirst inaugurated and regardless
of consequences to myself, will
fight to purify and maintain it. 1
repeat what I have already said be*
fere. It is useless to talk about sell
jiug Jiqnor in South Carolina under
iuiy system of license, high or low,
I have declared, and 1 believed n to
be true, that a saloon would never
be open in South Carolina again.
Destruction of the dispensarv will
mean of course a free rein for those
who sell liquor illicitly, but 1 prefer
to see it sold thus rather than
?ee it placed iu the hands of individuals,
a private monopoly created
with the greater demoralization that
would follow. Fnllv one third, if
aot more, of ^Jiose who are now
howling for the destruction ot the
dispensary are avowed candidates of
high license, and tHe prohibitionists
dupe themselves into the belief that
when thev have succeeded with the
'V
.aid of these men in destroying the dis
_
- ? pensarv,
that they can maintain prohibition.
H it I predict that the
I tight will always he between prohibition
and the dispensary rather
than between prohibition and license,
and in any event I shall use
everv instrumentality in my power
to antagonize giving the right to
ell liquor to private individuals.
I want this matter settled entirely
apart from my jwrsonal and political
fortune-;. It is a much greater
question for the people of South
Carolina as to how thev shall wise
ly and best govern the sale of liquor
' than as to whether I or some one
j else represents them in the Senate.
I know there are many men wno
will vote for me regardless of their
former political affiliations and of
their present attitude on t .is ques*
itionandit is probable that there
will be main who will be aggrieved
at niv activity in dealing with this
this question. 1 can not help that..
I have the same right and interest J
in local affairs as any other citizen
and niv elevation to the office 1 now
t
hold would have been spurned had
T felt that I would be deprived of i
* . '
freedom of .speech and action because
of it. I piefer to retire to
private life if it is the will of the
people of tile State rather than surrender
mv convictions o i this important
matter and play the coward
in dealing with it.?(Senator Ben
T id man on the Dispensary.)

One Cause of Federal Graft.
"There would be less grafting 111
the public service if the President ,
and the members of his cabinet remained
in Washington long enough to
become famiiiar with the business of
their repective departments."'
This somewhat sensational state- !
J
nient was made by a prominent }
member of Congress, who has had a
wide experience in Washington. lie I
w is commenting upon the sudden |
spasm of economy on the pa rt of the
Administration and the half-hearted
pursuit of some of the sin ill fry
grafters in the agricultural department
and the Government printing
ing office.
"It is not surprising that department
officials, in many instances,
are tempted to take advantage of the
opportunities afforded them to graft,
through the carelessness of their
superiors," continued the Congressman.
"During my long experience in
Congress," he added, "I do not refill
any administration where there
has been so much absenteeism from
Washington on the part of the high
officials of the Government. In
private business affairs successful |
men seldom get out of t ?ueh with
their own interests, and they are not j
given to unloading too much liide{Hjndence
upon employees, who aie
not supposed to shoulder extraordinary
responsibility for the mere
love of work.
"Since Congress aujourned last
spring there has scarcely been a day ;
when the President and all the mem- i
Uis of his Cabinet could be rounded ;
up at their posts of duty. It is all'
verv w-ll for the President and his I
Cabinet to visit, officially, all sec :
lions of the country at intervals to |
better acquaint themselves with the
wishes ami desnvs of the people
thev ar * supposed to r e p resent.
There would be no ground for com- ^
. plaint if it eiiued there, but the juvs-'
ent administration seems to be of a
roving nature, so that to-dav there'

The Constable's fcxcuse.
A story in which an Irish member
of parliament tells of his rough
treatment at the hands of the police!
while addressing his constituents in
Gal way recalls to the London
Chronicle an anecdote illustrative
of the attitude of the royal Irish
constabulary toward the Nation-:
aiist members. During a dis-! I
turbance at an eviction a constable
brought his baton heavily down on I
the head of a young man who happened
to be the reporter of the
irislt Times. "Don't you know I!
am a member of .the press?" in-;
quired the reporter. "1 beg your j
pardon," said the constable, "I'
thought you were a member of par-1
liament,"
Why Sho Rejoioed.
She put the book down with n
sigh. |
"What is it, darling?" he asked.
"Ah, dearest, I'm so happy!" she
replied.
"But you had such a sad look in
your eyes just now."
"I know. I've been reading about
the unhappiness that the men of
genius have to bear.- Oh, Alfred,
