PROSPECT OF A LARGER CROP.
If the present promise is fullfilled
the cotton crop of 11)02 will be larger
than has ever before been gathered
along to this time. The acreage is
greater than in auy other year except
in 1001, when it was slightly in exoeBS
of this year’s figures, hut the condition
uow is much better than it was then
The oondition was never, at the end of
May, better than it was at that date
this year, except in 1S0G and 1887, while
the acreage then was not as great as it
is now. A record-breaking crop wii
be gathered if the present prospeota
are realized, bnt, of coarse, a ohange
can oome between now and the end of
the season. Good crops in the leading
prodneta would be of special benefit to
the conn try this year, and the outlook
in moat staples is bright just now.

DOES NOT STATE THE CASE.
And now Ed. Brown is to be disci
plined because he did not throw hia
Panama in the air for Joe Terrell.—
Angnsta Herald.
This does not state the ease fairly,
Mr. HU), who is spoken of for chairman,
is the close personal and political friend
of the snooesafnl candidate for the
Democratic nomination, and it baa at-
ttays been the rale for the nominee of
the party to name the chairman of the
naw committee, #ho, by reason of his
position, becomes the manager of the
campaign. To say that Drown “did
not throw hia Panama in the air for Joe
Terrell,” ta 10 say, we presume, that
he waa not Terrell’s friend and suppor
ter in the late contest. If this is so, he
onght not to be made the chair
man of the convention, which
carries with it the chairmanship
of the state executive committee. It
wonld be a little remarkable if suppor
ters of Mr. Terrell, who will control
the convention, ahonld make a man
chairman who was not a Terrell man in
the primary. A platform is to te
written and that platform is expected
to incorporate the ideas and principles
for which the successful candidate
stood. The chairman appoints the
platform committee. It wonld be a
remarkable; procedure for Terrell’s
friends to pat this power in the hands
of a man who did not support him and
hia platform. To follow the good old
rale wonld not amonnt to anything
like “discipling” Mr. Brown any more
than the fail are to make a chairman
ont of any other man in the state who
wasnot a supporter of the anejesaful
candidate.—Maoon Telegraph.
right into the McKinley camp an,! east

In both these campaigns the great
body of independent voters were all
gold men. There was something in
the argument for “sound money,” as
the geld Democrats and the Republi
cans called it. which at pealed peculi
arly to the independent voter. The
argument was pitched by the artful
managers cf the campaigns in such a
lleged Hoard bill and other items
amounting to about $100. Da, Shaw-
had tiled a counter-suit for supplies
amounting to $S5 more than the other
suit and was seeking a judgment for
the excess.
Shortly before 10 o’clock the two
men met and a spirited conversation
ensued. It is claimed Dr. Shaw catted
Colonel Boykin a liar, at the same
time striking him a heavy blow ovqr
the head with his cane. Colonel Boy
kin immediately instituted a vigorous

to follow his conscience like a jack o’
lantern
Now, this conscience of the indepen
dent voter is what is going to count in
the congressional campaign in the fall
and in the presidential campaign in
1904.
'I he independent voter does not be
lieve in Pnilippice atrocities of the
army abroad or in American atrocities
of the trusts at home. He does not be
lieve in either Hanna or Roosevelt, and
it seems certain that the Republican
nomination has narrowed down to these
two. Hanna is a machine politician,
the arch machine politician, of all the
Republican parly. The independent
voter is a reformer and dreams what
the late Senator Ingalls called the
iridescent dream of pnrity in politics
When Mark Hanna passes athwart the
vision ofisneb a dream, it is straight
wav turned into a nightmare.
Roosevelt was a civil service reform
er. He has backslidden and fallen from
grace. He appoints Olarkson to office
and henchmen of high and low degree
The Civil Service Reform League has
repudiated him. He has been “playing
politics.” The independent voter
knows it and distrusts him.
No matter who is nominated, the
trusts problem, with the tanfficoroiary,
is going to play a very conspicuous part
in the coming campaigns. The trusts
have grown apace until they have
tonched the independent voter on the
pocket, which is a place where he is
very sensitive. The old money ques
tion may be dead. The new money
question, which every independent
or Democratic voter and many a Re
publican voter formnlates to himself,
shall I go on paying tribute to tho
trusts? will carry the elections for the
Democrats.
The trusts and the Republicans bare
gone too far.
ments panes were flying through the

the belligerents.
The sheriff’s office was hurriedly no
titled of the battle that was being
v.-aged. and the officers of the law
hastened to separate the two men.
They did so only after the sidewalk
had been made to present a gory ap
pearance. The case over which the
fight' occurred had to lie postponed, as
neither of the men were able to attend
court.

THE BIADFIE10 IECUUT0I CO.. ATLANTA* GA
Knocked From Fast Flying Train by

Atlanta. June 17.—-While a fast train
on the Southern railway was passing
through Varnell, Ga., enroute from
Chattanooga to Atlanta, at about 4
o’clock yesterday afternoon Robert IT.
Nelson, the fireman, either fell or was
knocked from hie engine by a water
chute and instantly killed. The on-
glneer, alf unconscious of the acci
dent, kept on his way for about half
a mile from the scene of the accident,
when he noticed that his fireman was

when it was found that Nelson was
not aboard the train was backed to*
ward Varnell, where Nelson had been
seen last by the engineer.
The mangled body of the man was
found beside the water chute at Var
nell, and It Is thought that when tho
train passed Nelson was on tha out
side of the engine and was hurled ti
hls death by coming in contact with
the chute. When discovered the un
fortunate fireman had been dead for
several minutes, and it is probable
that hls death was Instantaneous.

train and brought to Atlanta, whore
tho relatives of the dead man reside.

Springfield. III., June 16.—Tha Dem
ocratic state convention to be held to

conservative conventions held In this

posed to declarations on these points
are some men who have been In the
past enthusiastic partisans of Bryan. ,
The convention will declare hotly
against “government by Injunction,”

effect.
