Some writer suggests, that as Eng

When we reach a point where our
cotton will be manufactured at home
will be impossible for foreign syn

material. The worrd will be compell
ed to have our manufactured product,
and our manufacturers will get good
prices and be able to pay the p’aoter
considerably more than the cost of

Cotton Acreage. 1
Washington, May to,—The cotton
report to the department of agricul
ture for May relates to the progress of
planting and tbe contemplated acre
age. T he proportion of the proposed
breadth a'ready planted on the- ist of
May was 85.? per cent, which ap
proaches vcT?-c'-osely the arei usually
planted at that date, which is estimated
at 86 per cent.
The returned estimates for the
several states are as follows:
Virginia, n.
North Carolina, 85. s,
South Carolina', 90. t
Georgia, 92.
Florida; 92.
Alabama, 93. '
Mississippi, 85. - -
Louisiana, 87.
'^Texas, 8*. - >:*
Arkansas, 71. v v •
Tennessee, 76. • 1 ^ ‘
These figures indicate that planting
is wed up to the average as to time. '
Die only states that are behind in
planting are Virginia, where the de
lay is caused, by the cold .backward
spring, Texas caused by foe extensive
drougth and backward spring, and
Arkansas and Tennessee where the
extensive ratnfaU and cold weather has
retarded operations, :
In some districts the correspondents
report drouth, while iti others the re
turns show the retarding cause to be
frost and excessive rains. Germina-*
tion has been slow and the growth of

Editor Irwin of the Southern Al

not be a candidate for governor. In
an interview with the Constitution on
the subject, Mr. Irwin says :
‘I have not talked with Mr. Wat*

him last he had no intention of mak
ing the race. In fact his mind was
engrossed with other considerations
at the time aud I should judge that
nothing was further from his thoughts
than making the race for governor.
If he should enter the race he would
undoubtedly have the support of the
alliance throughout the stale, or at
least-that part of it identified with the
people’s party.”

The debate on the question whether
the south is worse than tbe north
the north is as bad as the south in the
matter of .lynching criminials, is
neither edifying nor profitable. It
makes no particle of difierence whether
the mob in Michigan which burned a
white woman was more malevolent
than the Texas mob which resisted a
negro. They were both mobs and
they committed ap act which is a dis
grace to nineteenth century civiliza
tion. Mob’rule means disorder, and
it should be discouraged by - every
patriotic citizen. As to north or south
there is no chance for controversy; as
to execute a criminal and acquitting
an ianocent man, these are the impor
tant, and the only important, matters
to consider.—-New York Herald.

could-deviie some p’an by which alf
sections wou’d equally profit from
convict labor. The scandals which

only to excite astonishment that any
