'rL. wi r ...v.. 6vuoiij, we ueuuee mt ,the correct condition of the crop in the States jabove mentioned: I South Carolina. On the Islands of tht coast of South Carolina, the home of the sea ;island cotton, the reports tend to show a flight increase in acreage, about 10 per cent. ,over last year. The weather is reported fa ToraWo and the plant about as forward a usual at this time of the year. Up to July 10 the prospect for a large crop was excellent, hince that time, however, the farmers report ravages of a peeuliar kind of insect, which is uie uamage upon several ofthelartje (cotton plantations. j 1 This insect is something entirely new and baffles all efforts to destroy it. Specimens oi the soil where the cotton is thus affected have been sent to the United Statesl authorities at Washington for analysis. What tho result upon the general erop will bo! is difficult at this tune to conjecture. The districts affect ed are tho islands of John's, James, Wadma- jhw ana jjjisto, where the finest sea island cotton is grown. In the State of Georgia we find the weath er in the early spring was bad, being too wet and cold, which makes the crop from two to three weeks late. The cultivation was gen erally good up to July 10. and the plant .at that time iu a thrifty condition. "When we consider the erea devoted to cot ton growing through the counties of Georgia, we are led to conclude the general acreage about the same, or a small peri cent less; Imports by telegram July 221 from the sea island eottou growing districts of Georgia, l?outh Carolina and Florida, (with few ex ceptions, indicate a heavy rainfall and cotton showing some signs of rust, blight and shed ding, No caterpillar reported up to date. Quite a number reported the presence of the grass worm. The. plant, in a thrifty grow iug condition, is very tender and susceptible to damage by these enemies of the cotton, and to insure a full crop then? must be the most favorable conditions from this time out. WAUNIXO TO FABMEK3 AND GIXNEBS. Our experience leads us to stato that more damage is done to cotton by inexperienced ginners than any other way. Unless there is great earo. taken the gins will cut the Sibre ba lly, cra-k the seed, and even allow whole seed to get into the lint, which will f;ivo the cotton an appearance .that will affect the prices from one to three cents per pound. It will therefore be to tho farmer's interest io look about before contracting with any one to do hid ginning, and send his cotton to the one who does the best work. The farmer should see that the ginner suns his cotton, an ! puts it through a cleaner lor whipper, to extra H the sand and trash, before ginning it. Otherwise you will not get a ejotton that will grade Jir.-t-clas.j in appearauCe and become 'ijaney in preparation. When this isdone.and the cotton goes to market iu, first-class con dition, we wiil have some claim upon higher prices; I Taking the whole acreage of cotton in the sea island growing districts, wo find a slight increase over last year, but the lateness of the plant, together with its susceptibility to injury during the reaiaiuder 6f the season, and the deterioration of the old seed plant ed, it is diflicult to form au opinion as to the number of bales to be produced, yet our Mr. Robinson, who has full charge! of our cotton department, predicts that under the most favorable eirctirnstar.ct's the yield will not reach over 73.000 or .S0.000 bales. : We 11 ud in the tlires; States of South Caro lina, Georgia and Florida 275 bales of sea island cotton of last year's (crop still un marketed outside of Savannah and Charles ton.

Bradst reels' report for tho past week,says The week presents a larger volurc3 of trade ia many lines and at many points than in the weeks before and ono year ago. The rush of orders for steel and iron leads in interest, displaying remarkable strength. Western 'aiaaufacturers have been obliged to pur chase Eastern bill-Ms to msotj their orders. Less eoafl-.len.ie is placed in last week's ru mors of serious damage to the spring wheat crop in Miunessota and the Dakotas, and an other conspicuous feature of the week is the evidence of reviving confidence on the part of tho Western and Northwestern interior merchants, now that the corn and spring wieat crops promise well. At the South general trade remains of as moderate volume as previously noted. NashviMe and Galveston report material gains. There is a bettor oulljok and feeling at Charleston, but elsewhere mid -summer quiet rules. Aii themi'.ls are;busy at Augus ta, and delay hi paying the sugar lcnuty af fects trade very unfavorably iu Louisiana. Strikes of some importance appear, but do not yet threaten to last long, though a strike iof coal miners may for a time affect business somewhat extensive!;. The hopeful spirit prevailing in nearly ail markets may find its warrant iu spite ef some shortage iu crops. All the indications show mid-summer lassi tude. For the first time since the rne in prices of iron produ-.-ts began there havo been some concessions to retain business and frfforts of new works get orders tend to cheek the advance. In spite of this, tho general average of prices is a shade higher, bar having risen re.'ativeiy more than mill iron has declined. j Business in cotton goods has been the largest in July for several yerrs, reckoning deliveries, but not so large as to be new orders. A further advance! of one-quarter cent per yard has been made with moderato demand for some bleached and brown goods, and prices are firm for sheets .and drills, while colored cottons are quiet with occas ional advances. The demand for men's woolens has been l-ss active with some dis appointment observable, while worsteds have sold relatively better, j There are 221 failures in business reported to Bradstreet this week as compared with 239 throughout tho United States last week, 220 in the week one year ago and 459 in the corresponding week of 1S93. In the like week of 1302 the total was only 155. MISSISSIPPI POPULISTS. State Convention Met at Jackson. Nearly Every County Represented. The Populists met in convention at the eapitol at Jackson, Hiss. Nearly every coun ty in the state was represented. The convention nominated Hon. Frank Burkitt lor governor and a full state ticket. Forty-seVen counties were represented by 122 delegates. A Jra-olution arraigning the democrats for the treasury defalcation and severely criti ising the democracy was passed. The platform demanded economy and de clares for the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, without international agree ment.

MA NATIONAL SILYER PARTY. INDICATIONS WHICH POINT TO 1HK CALLING OP A ' Convention to Organize One. Speech es at the South Carolina Alliance Encampment. To the St. Louis Republic in a special from Columbia, S. C, says: The fact was devel-r oped at the State- Alliance eacampment, which adjuorned to-day after a three days' 11 kii . i 1117 n r 1 1 wo f a 1 : 0 county, mat a scheme Is on foot for the calling of a nation al silver convention to be held la St. Louis In September for the purpose of forming a national silver party. Congressman Latimer, of South Carolina is authority for the state ment that Congressmen Bland, of Missouri, Tillman-, of South Carolina; Marion Butler, of North Carolina, and other silver leaders have agreed upon it, and that the call for such a convention will be issued. Congress man Latimer says that the scheme has been on foot for some time, but that it is only with in the last few days that Congressman Bland I has been induced to agree to it. But now that all things are ready a call for the con vention will be Issued within the next few weeks. The ball was set in motion at the silver conference at Memphis, and since then the public pulse has been felt and the leaders be lieve that the time is ripe for tho movement. At any rate the attempt is to be made. Con gressman Latimer made no public announce ment of the scheme, but in his speech at the Alliance encampment he went so far as to say: 'Let us call a national convention, like our own March convention, and say that we, are for both metals. Then put a man on a 3imple platform for silver and make the race and whip the fight. The Republicans say they won't desert their home. I am a Demo crat, but I am in favor of this early conven tion, and I say to you let's hold it and win the tight." Senator Tillman said: "The only hope is to ally the South and West against the North and East, but don't let us impose the condi tion on those seeking the alliance that we go as Democrats alone. Those people despise that name. The hatred is the inheritance of the war, just as we hate the name of Repub lican. Why, in God's name, shall we stay by her and go down in the rotten old Democra tic ship? I cannot see why any man should 9tand by the Democratic party when it is controlled by such men as Cleveland and Carlisle. For myself, I amwreadyv to throw up the name and give up the party. We must join the people of tho Northwest. The friends of silver are in the majority. Forty five million of the 70.000,000 in the United States are in favor of it. All they want is the opportunity. Shall we let this matter of a name keep us apart? The gold bugs have bought up all the metropolitan papers and the news agencies, and they are all crying the silver crazo is dying "out. There was never a more brazen falsehood. There is no craze to begin with. Our people are only striving with the intensity of despair to re lease our government from the grasp of the "octopus, to prevent the Tories from selling us in bondage to the British gold bugs." LIBERTY BELL'S ITIX ERARY. The Historic Old Relic Will be Ex hibited In an Open Foyer. The action of the Philadelphia City Coun cil on the Atlanta Exposition was to arrange and complete the details for the trip of the Liberty Bell, which is to be transferred to the tjouth during the festival. - Chairman Miles, of the Committee on Cor respondence and arrangements, stated that he had received a letter from Thomas Keen an. secretary of the State Commission, at Ilarrisburg, in which the latter stated that the Pennsylvania building would be com pleted and ready for the reception of the bell by the opening day, Sept. 16th. The historic old relic is to be exhibited in' an open foyer, under a canopy, and by being arranged on castors, can be run on to thej open grounds, in case of necessity, in ten; minutes. No action was taken for the present look ing to a civic and military display in con-r nection with the departure of the bell, as the! cost of tho military display would probably mm have to be taken out of the committee's ap propriation.

Democratic Editors Addressed by Mr. ! Bland and Senator CockreU. j Th Democratic Free Silver Editors' State Convention met at Sedalia, Mo., last week. The principal address of the day was that of Senator CockreU. He said: ! "The pending financial issue was whether the single standard of gold should be con tinued", or the true ti-metallic svstem re- ! Stored. I 1 ''Every possible effort will be made to con- .ceal, complicate and mystify this vital issue. xei us not ic mistaken or deeeived, nor mis led. The Forty-second Congress with a two thirds majority of Republicans in each house, passed the coinage law of Feb. 12, 1873, which was approved by a Republican Presi dent and established the single standard of. gold, made the gold dollar tttte unit of value, denied any coinage to the standard silver dollar, limited the legal tender value of all Silver coins to five dollars, and thus de stroyed the bi-metallic system. , -"To-day our laws authorize the free and unlimited coinage of gold at our mints into full legal tender money ami thus endow and clothe the gold metal with the functions of money and make the metai equal in value to, the coin, but they did not authorize, or per--mit the coinage of any standard silver dol lars except the bullion in the Treasury, pur-; chased under the Sherman law, thus denying to the silver metal any functions of money. "In the Brussels conference of 18i)2, Mr.! Alfred de Rothschild, a delegate from Eng land, said: "Gentlemen: I need hardly remind you that the stock of silver in the world is esti mated at some thousands of millions of dol-i lars, and if this conference were to break up without arriving at any definite result, there would be a depreciation in the value of that commodity which i would be frightful to contemplate and oiit of which a monetary panic would ensue the far-spreading effects of which it would be hard to foretell.' "This conference, .did adjourn without definite results, nndtoh June 26, 1893. India closed her mints to the free coinage of silver and the commercial value of silver measured with gold at once fell about 15 per cent. Our law of Nov. 11, 1803. repealed the purchasing) clause of the Sherman law and silver fell still lower. By the undisputed testimony of the historic record of events, Mr. Carlisle was right in 187.3 in his denunejytion of tho act of 1873, as, 'the most gigantk; crime of1 this or any other age.' " : Hon. R. r. Bland spoke for nearly twoj hours. In his address, which was frequently applauded, Mr. Bland said: "There can bo no greater question affect ing the wolfaro of the people than the ques-: tion of currency, and we are asked to become! the advocates of a system ot currency sup plied by national banks, The power to con trol the volume of the money of the country will necessarily result iu the enslavement 6( tho people and the breaking dowu of the. power of the States. If all the facts stated! in Mr. Carlisle's speeches in Memphis and. other places be true, and if the doctrines he' advocated are correct, then Democracy as' taught in history and practiced by our fathers was a fraud. Ratio is aa exceptional; question, belonging to Congress, but justice! must bo done to silver by putting it back right where it was in 1873. The, duty of the present generation and the present time is to undo the wrong and wipe out tho crime of IO Ii). ' In conclusion, Mr. Bland said: "In my! opinion the conspiracy which seems to have, been formed here and iu Europe to destroy! by legislation, or otherwise, from thrce-j sevenths to one-half the metallic money of' the world, is the most gigantic crime of the! age or.auy other age. The consummation of! such a scheme would ultimately entail more misery upon tho human raco than all the! ; wars, pestilences and famines that cvesJ . 1 ; . . . t. . . 1. : ... . . r j t 1 ... touii iu mo uisiuiy 01 m worm, we, still believe that silver's restoration is abso-: lutely necessary to the prosperity of thisj people, and we will follow Carlisle and hi.?' record as a member of Congress and not' Carlisle and his record as Secretary of tho Treasury.". IIILL BUILDING IN THE SOUTH. This Year Promises tobe an Important One for the Textile Industry. The Louisvillo Courier-Journal , says: Last winter Massaolnisetts became so alarm ed oyer the prospect of losing her cotton mills that a Legislative committee was sent down South to investigate tho extraordinary advantages offered by this new manufactur ing region. This committee was followed by another of manufucturers. While their in vestigations were not wholly discouraging to New England enterprises, the manufac turing States of the South were given an ad vertisement of priceless value. The result ia seen in the American Wool and Cotton Re porter's list of the new mills under construc tion in tho United States during the first six months of the year. . The showing is a remarkable one. North Carolina takes tho lead with thirtv-one new mills and a number of costly onla.rHwtontsrofT old plants. South Carolma has twenty-two, Georgia fourteen. Alabama five, Texas and Virginia three each. Arkansas two and Lou isiana one. Pennsylvania comes next to North Carolina, with twenty-nine new plants, and New York, with twenty-three, finishes ahead of South Carolina by a bare nose. Massachusetts has only nineteen, and New Jersey exactly as many as Georgia. This year promises to be an extraordinary one for the textilo industries. The number 'of new enterprises begun during tho six months is 201, while for the first six months ;of 1894 it was only 116, and the total for tho 'year was but 2C3. Tho proportion of cotton mills in the 1895 plants is very large, therq being 73 of these to 33 woollen, 57 knitting, 16 silk and 17 miscellaneous. Not only does the South build a fine pro portion of these new mills; she also has soma of the largest to her credit. Tho principal ones are the Georgia branch of the Massa chusetts Cotton Mills, at Rome, with 30.000 spindles and 1,000 looms: the Hampton, S.C., Cotton Mills, with 50.000 spindies and 200 dooms, and a 30,000 spindle mill at Granby, S. C. It is hard to guess how much this vast out lay of capital mean3 to the whole - country, but especially to the South. Manufactories have been so scarce down this way that a few go a long distance; but this will not al ways be the case. Thn this activity iu mill building means a great awakening in tho texile industries and better prices for raw products. In the face of the new clip wool is advancing rapidly, rising 2 cents a pound last week, although the imports are remarka bly heavy. Cotton i? certain to go up. too; but even if it did not the planters would profit indirectly by having the new ma ket at their doors. - The South will never hold all the cotton mills in the Union. For a long tlm; yt Massachusetts will r tain her sceptre. S ill, her advantages are beeoniioj r.ppart-i.t t the world, and in the future the will capiur ,the majority of the nw enterprise SO 3IOKrT SEED.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. First Examination of Government Printers Under Civil Service Rules. By Our Regular Correspondent. The first examination of applicants for ap pointment as compositors in the Government Printing Office, since the employes of that establishment were placed under civil service rules, is now being held. There are mire than two hundred applicants, and it vill take the rest of the week to complete tho x amiaation of them all. Those who get .he required percentage will be placed on he eligible list and appointed when there iro vacancies or when more help is needed at ;ho G. P. O. Judging from their talk the "comps" who have taken the examinat on are not overburdnArl - with . mA-2wiU i the wisdom displayed by the questions asked. One of them, who had wide experience bUh in newspaper and job offices, and who is cre dited by all who know him with being a first class all-around printer, being equally at home when setting type, making up or read ing proof, was asked what he thought. of I ho questions asked at tho examination. Ho re plied: "Some of them were good, calculat ed to show whether a man had the kno vl edge every first-class printer should have but others were, in my opinion, absolute rot. dealing with matters haying no connect ou with any of the practical branches of craft with which I am acquainted." tho A business man who has just returned from a trip through Florida says: "Th pro is intense interest in Florida over tho'GV. an revolution, und every scrap of news frbm the seat of war is eagerly sought for and read with avidity.
