CROP IS NOT LARGE ? TPRICE SAYS THE COTTON YIELD IS EXAGERATED. Says He Thinks that the Cotton Pro ducers are Guilty of Financial Suicide, In a letter to Gov. Colquit, of Tex as, endorsing Ms call for a meeting ?of the Governor of i:he cotton States to devise some plan by which the cotton planters can be saved the millions of dollars they are losong by selling their cotton at the pres ent low prices, Mr. Theodore H. Price, the great cotton dealer of New York, offers somevaluable sug gestions and gives his views on the cotton situations. The following ex tras* from Mr. Price's letter will be read with inteest: "My work, In connection with the cotton picking machine, has, for the past two months, taken me into .numberless; cotton fields throughout the State of Texas, and I have had an opportunity to make a compara tive study of the crop that few men have enjoyed. I do not think that the crop is much in excess ofthat of last year and I am more and more impressed with the arduous and un remitting toil that is required to produce cotton. I have felt for some time that the producers of cotton were guilty -,of financial suicide in their present competition, as to who would sell their cotton cheapest, and I there fore express my sympathy with and hearty approval of your plau to call a meeting of the Governors of the cotton States, with a view of con sidering the situation. Under normal . conditions, I be lieve that the cost of producing cot ton is 9 cents a pound. And when ?#e- take into consideration the in vestment and the hazard involved in the planting and cultivation of cot ton, to say nothing of the picking, it is ridiculous that the South should ?eil its cotton without profit, and at a loss if the grade be below mid dling, as a great deal of this year's crop promises to be. "The question is not a local or sectional one. It is true that the price of ctton affects the entire bus iness structure, and the 18,000,000 of people resident in the cotton States, but the importance of the i issue becomes natural in its scope, -^i^n we remember nearly all our ex ports ?t cotton constitute nearly our -whole bgl&r?ce oi trade, and that it Is wilh Cotton tftftt we pay our debts to Europe. If the prfcg ?* tne article is depreciated our debt-laying pow er is Impaired. "Although in ?ur?pe and ?mer1 Sca the spinning industry is highly organized, and in America, at least cur spinners are the beneficiaries of an exceedngly high tariff, I think I am correct in stating that the spin ners of the world would rather see cotton selling at a stable than at an abnormally low-price. It is only be cause each spinner fears his compet itor may be able to buy cotton cheap er, and so produce goods cheaper, that he procrastinates in securing his supplies at a time when the cot ton producers of the South, through their own fatuity, are daily depre ciating in value the results of their painful toll. ; "One pound of cotton 'produces on the average five yards of cloth. An advance of 5 cents a pound in cot ton therefore means an advance of less than one cent a yard in the ?cost of cloth. The world requires all the cotton goods that can be made from an American crop of 14,000,000 bales. In ten years it will require the equivalent of 20,000,000 bales of American cotton, and a cent a yard, more or less, is a difference that is not appreciated by the thous and million consumers of cotton goods. "On the 'ither hand, 5 cents a pound on a ? rop of 14,000,000 bales means $350,100,000 annually to the South and to the United States. It means the difference between impov erishment and prosperity for the people in this section and It means a difference of $35 0,000,000 anual^ ly in the basis of our credit abroad. "While the meeting of the Gover nors of the Southern States that you have called Is a step in the right direction, I fear it will be wthout effect unless at that meeting some definte and concrete proposition is agreed upon that will afford relief from the present situation. The num erous agricultural organizations of the ?South have, in the past, from time to lime met and passed resolutions calling upon the farmers to hold their cotton, but in every instance the farmers have ignored these reso lutions and proceeded to sell their cotton, so that their last state was worse than the first. "Their inability to hold their cot ton was made clear by their disre gard of the resolutions and those In terested emphasize the weakness of the situation as thus expressed. As a matter of fact, it is impossible for the farmers of th South to hold their cotton during the first two or three months of the season and 50 per cent of the crop always comes in eight by December 1. "Practically all the cash and cred it resources of the Southern States ere tied up in the planting, culti vation and picking of cotton, and to ?withhold the crop from the market when it is ready to be sold would be to disarrange the entire credit machinery of this sectiou. If, there fore, your convention shall only have ?what I may describe as a conversa tional result, it had, in my opinion, better not be held. "It seems to me, however, that a practical, definite and v^orkable plan can be formulated at your pro posed meeting, which, if carefully worked out, will afford great relief, fit the cotton world realizes that the Southern States are seriously bent ppon helping themselves, the decline BRILLIANT CHURCH WEDDLVG. Mr. H. O. Dawson and Miss Rath Holman Happily Married. One of the prettiest church wed dings that has taken place in this city for some time was. that of Mr. H. O.

Convicted of Attempted Assault on a White Woman. Clinton Glover, the negro fiend who attempted to commit an assault on a highly respected white lady at St. George on the night of August 15 last, was convicted on Thursday of the diabolical crime at St. George and sentenced to be hung by Judge Devore. The case consumed the en tire day Thursday in the Court of General Sessions. The jury, after be ing out an hour and a half, returned a verdict of guilty without recom mendation to mercy at 7 o'clock Thursday evening. The testimony was to the effect that on the night of August 15 last, about 10 o'clock, a negro entered the home of a highly respected white lady, and attempted an assault upon her. Several testified they heard the woman's screams. An examination of the anm of Clinton Glover, ac cording to one witness, revealed the fact that it bore a fresh scar. On the window sill of a room in the house in which the assault was at tempted was found a piece of human skin. The tracks leading from the place were measured and the meas urement tallied with Glover's foot. Bloodhounds were put on his trail and he was caught. The white woman upon whom Glover attempted the assault is high ly respected in the community, and when- the alleged crime was com mitted, on the night of the 15th of last August, feeling ran high. The sheriff had to spirit the accused ne gro to Charleston for safe keeping. When he was brought to St. George for trial Thursday there was no dem onstration pointing to unlawful pro cedure. Everybody seemed to ,be willing to allow the law to take its course, feeling sure that the prison er would get his just deserts. Glover was represented by two col ored lawyers, Daniel Summers, of Charleston, and Jacob Moorer, of Or ange burg. Solicitor Hildebrand was assisted in the prosecution by the Hon. Walker S. Utsey, of St. George. The defence did not put up any wit ness; the State put up ten, some white and some colored. Ten jury men were challenged by the defence and two by the State. Five were ex cused. The jury which sat on the case was composed of representative men. Attorney Moorer asked the Court to direct a verdict of not guilty. Clinton Glover had been around St. George for several months before the attempted assault was committed. He was supposed to have been an es caped convict, and he is said to have borne an unsavory reputation. One of the witnesses testified that the negro had been seen banging about the premises where the crime was at tempted all day of August 15. THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC.
