COTTON CROP ESTIMATE. C
We have received n letter from
Price A McCoriniek, New York, in
which they givo the latest estimate J
of the cotton crop according to New t
Orleans figures, also giving the per- H
centuge of the crop in sight December p
1st for 12 years, which shows agon- r
| eral average of 51.11 per cent, of the c
\ crops in sight on December 1st for ^
I the 12 years. The crop in sight this i
! December 1st is 1,511,000. If this ?
; amount is 51.11 per cent, of this t
! years' crop then the total crop of this {
! yeur will bo in round numbors 8,850,j
bales. As (here has been n great in- (
! crease in the number of American (
I mills, the American consumption is (
necessarily much larger than hereto- ,
fore, while Kuropean consumption is
just as great us ii was when thero
'was a 11,000,000 bale crop. This
being t.ho case, some one is going to
bo badly short on cotton pretty so<?n,
and wo hnvo no doubt it will be the
mills of Europe which have been liold'ng
back trusting in tlio accuracy of
Xeill's estimnto of an 11,000,000 bale
crop. The American mills, being on
the ground have had more sense und
judgment and have been buyipg
right along nt the advance, and have
bought up a good bulk of the cotton.
The foreign mill men will have their
eyes opened to the true state of affairs
pretty soon aud then they will make
i a spurt to secure tlio balance of unmarketed
cotton, and up will go the
price. It must also be remembered
< that there is an increased demand
iroin Japan, China, Canada and Mex!
ico. With the mills in operation now
it is safe to estimate that nothing
less than a crop of 10,.">00,000 bales '
will supply the demand. It is pes- j
-ibio that tho surplus n< cumulated
" by the mills of Europe during the
1 >!st d or 1 years may tide them over
' this year with what they can grab of j
K the remainder of t his year's crop, hub i
out of this surplus a deficiency ^of
2,0tH.),0O0 bales this year will have to be j
supplied. This will force them into ,
the market witi. early purchasers for
the next cot I on crop. W'c now have j
the situation in hand in the b' u.th,
and by a little ju licious management
on the part of our farmers they can
easily reverse the usual order and
. can demand u price for their next
, year's crop, simply go to work at
r once ami prepare for a diversified
s crop, and plant for a short cotton

i there will be enough mills in the

mer to put his wholo depondeneo in I
his cotton crop. A short crop, at a j
high price will pay him much boiler
than a largo crop at half price. U
our farmers manage intelligently I

at the start next year. Cotton ought ,
now to ho bringing to 10c iude.t 1 of ;

\iXAL IS OF VITAL IMPORTANCE.
The Baltimore Manufacturer's
tccord has taken up the subject of
he resolutions adopted at the recent
ession of the Southern Cottou Spinicrs'
Association, at Charlotte, N. C.,
egnrding the opening of an isthmian
lanal, expansion for commercial dorelop:nent,
the need of American
narino service, etc., and has addressid
a letter to prominent raoa all over
he country asking an expression of
dieir opinion on the following points:
"The need for the development of
the American Marine through gov?rnment
aid to afford adequate facilities
for our increasing commerce with
the world."
"Tho importance of the construction
of nn isthmian canal."
"The demand for a steady expansion
of our navy and the control of the
Philippines by the United 6tates as a
strategic point In the cast in connection
with tho development of our
trade with Oriental countries. "
A number of replies were published
in a recent issue of the Record,
and without a singlo exception tlie
replies heartily endorsed the opening
the canal, setting forth the great advantages
to be derived. The general
impression seems to be that, as wo
have come into possession of tho
Philippines, we cannot alTord to give
them up for various reasons, anil that
the war should be brought to a speedy
termination by Dotting tho necessary
troops on tho islands to accomplish
t his end.
The advantages to ho gained by the
United States in the way of commerce
nro very great, as it would open up a
great market for our manufactured
goods, agricultural implements and
iron industries. They favor the open
door policy with China and the preservation
of the integrity of live
Chineso Umpire, they ull advance
sound arguments in support of their
viows. The canal should he cut by
all means and should he done by our
own government, it is one of tht
greatest needs now fc-lt by our country,
the advantage of it in case <>l
; war is almost incalculable, and we
' should own it so that in case of w.w
( we could control it. In our hmnhh
( judgement we think Congress should
i hasten to arrange for this measure It
go through, in fact we are so heartih
this incasuro the people would rise uj
with one accord and call them blessed,
j In regret to the Philippines there will
j never ho peace on the island witli
' fm.ir. _

! they are under the control oJ
the United Stutes government. Having
been oppressed, persecute! and
treated with grave injustice 1:1 the
past, it is no more than could be expected
of them to lo<>k with mistrust
upon the prospect of coming under
the control of (lie government of u
now power, but we believo that when
our government has taken charge,
and demonstrated by our laws and
method-, that their rights and interests
will be protected, they will welcome
if as a God send to them. We
think that when they have been sufficiently
educated to be in a position
to govern themselves they should be
allowed to do so. It is very evident
that they are unlit at present for self
govermnont. The war should b} vigorously
prosecuted to an early ltnish
and peace brought about in tho Philippines,
there are 18,000,0 > people
there who can use the products of our
mills. With the isthmian canal, the
Philippines, and an adequate navy
and merchant, marine service the
United Slat to would soon be recognized
as tho greatest nation on tho
globe. 1*11o fruit is ripe and only
awaits the plucking. From tho numerous
replies published by tho Manufacturers'
Record we clip that of our
own mill president Col. T. C. Duncan,
which runs parallel with tho sentiment
expressed by the others. This
[etter will bo found on 1st page.
A very serious charge is made
iguinst Prof. Mear.*, of the Codur
Springs Deaf and Dumb Institute, by
3no of tho girl pupils. Prof Moars
s old enough for hor grandfather,
the girl and her child aro now in the
jnunty poor house, her name is Dora
lenkins, a pretty girl of ]">. It is
laid tho evidcneo is strong against
Moars. Prof. Mears omphalic illy
lenies the charges, and ho and ids
.v' fe resigned their positions as Lenchts
in the Cedar Springs Institute,
vhcre they have been teaching eight
rears. Mr. Mears will fight the
iharges in the courts, and is conident
that he can easily prove his
nno.-encc. He says it is a conspiracy
iguinst him.
An order has been approved by
Soertary Gage requiring that internal
revenue stamps of 10c or over shall
not only bo cancelled In tho usual
manner, but shall be mutilated to
prevent being cleaned and used again.
Some industrious individuals must
have been working a racket on Uncle
Sam by using stamps tho second time.
J. J. Tinsley ex-clerk of the count \
board, has plead guilty to live cases oi
forgery and all the other cases
against him were nol prossed. The
court sentenced him to hard labor foi
one year in each case, making five )cars
in all. It is understood that he has refunded
to the county all the money he
got and tho county h is lost nothing
through him.
The 1'rohibitionisls havo uppointed
a committee, with Mr. A. C. Jones
as chairman, to prepare resolutions to
submit to tho Prohibitionists of the
! Slate. These resolutions have been
submitted to and approved by the
State Kxecutive Committee. They
stand on the principle of general prohibition
throughout the Stato and
want no compromise measures by the
Legislature.
The Soul hern ran the first train
carrytng the officers of the road, over
their new track from Columbia to
Savannah lust Thursday. The run
was the finest on record. Xo such
run has ever been made over a new
road bed. The train made tho run
at the rate of seventy-four miles pei
hour without mishap. A big b mquel
was tendered tho party on their ar
rival at Savannah.
