great yield of corn, the south is
reasonably sure of a prosperous full
winter. Twelve million bales
of cotton is a conservative
writing. The puce for fall
months is really we
expect.
Peaches brought into Georgia

and the smith's melons and
tables have netted two or three
times as much. The sooth's cotton
will give us half a million dollars

line, but wheat will be per cent
short. Bo the west will barely
hold its own.
In the east, the presidential
campaign and a slow iron and steel
market are depressing general
business.
Last winter the South's cotton
money went a long way to avert a
general panic. Now it looks as if the
south will again furnish the money
and the prosperity for the nation.

I find that every effort along that
line causes a division in sentiment,
not only among masses bat
among our wisest statesmen. This
division of sentiment does not arise
entirely from our sympathy for or
against temperance but from the
beet method of bringing it about.
There are thousands of good men in
North Carolina who are opposed to
the Watts bill not because they are
intemperate or believe intern per

defeated the very purpose for
