Dr. Win.' A. Hammond,, is discuss ing the subject, "Have We Two Brains ?" Judging from the number of high tajiff protectionists there still are a more pertinent inquiry would be, "Have we any brains at all?" Ex-Czar Reed remarks: "We saved sound money mthe House in 1890."

' : May 13th, George T. Winston, Ll!d., the recently installed President of bur State University.;! Dr. Winston needs no endorsement at our hands. This course certainly merits for the committee and the Association thanks and hearty support, especially . since it is their announced, policy to make . no money by it, but to devote all that may be earned over and above expenses, to the enlargement and improvement of the course for next season. The sched ule of - prices for the Course Tickets is only two-dollars and a half to members of the Association, and three dollars to non-members, with no extra charge tor reserved seats. We hope the good citi zens of Wilmington will recognize the value of these unselfish efforts by meet ing this work more than half way. i ' CONCERT. Iiast Right at Luther Memorial Hall.

Columbus, Miss., reports three fourths of the crop already gathered. Futures closed steady inNew York; October 7.887.90; November 7.98 8.00; January 8.34. yj -Middling cotton on the Wilmington market was dull yesterday at 1 cents. Same day last year, quiet at 9J cents. y Receipts of cotton at this port yes- ' terday were. 1,339 bales; against 2,541 bales the corresponding day last year. - The picking season in Alabama thus far is said to be the finest on re cord, and the gathering and marketing of the crop unprecedentedly active. Twenty tramp steamship are now loading with cotton at Savannah. The receipts at that port last week were 80.000 bales, the largest on record. This looks like business. : A telegram from Helena. Arkan sas, to the Commercial and Financial Chronicle' . says: Owing to the fine weather the crop is being gathered and marketed rapidly, but is claimed to be at least 25 per cent, shorv-of last year, y Advices from Dallas, Texas, say: We have had dry weather all the week and crop gathering has been active. .The character of the picking season is of unusual importance this year, for the reason that .all the unpicked cotton that will mature at all is now open and await ing picking. On account of the July and August drought there is practically no top crop. Sehman Bros, hold to the opinion that the sharp decline which is obliged to result from the depressing influence of the present big receipts will, jn turn, be followed by 'a sharp and speedy re covery, They predict a greater and more severe decline before the rebound, which, however, they beiieve is sure to come when the world discovers that the crop really is short, and that the present big receipts are the result of the neces sities of the farmers, and not an indica tion of an unusually large crop. The proposed combination of the Sea Island . cotton planters pf South Carolina to prevent the sale of selected seed and so maintain the price of the staple grown on the Islands has been abandoned. A hew variety of long staple cotton, totally distinct from Sea Island cotton, hut having a staple of from an inch to an inch and a quarter, is coming into market in large quanti ties, and it is believed that by careful selection a variety of this cotton can be obtained that will compete formidably with any of the Sea Island grades. The demand for fine grades of Sea Island cotton, moreover, is already decreasing, and some planters who have grown them have been compelled to give up their cultivation as unprofitable.
