SULLY EX COTTON KING VISITS COLUMBIA, i f SATS CATION' CHOP IS SHORTMOKE SO THIN FOR OVER 1 TWENTY YEARS. ] ' l iii' condition of the cotton crop ( over the entire South is wrv bad," ( ? . said Mr Paniel ' Sully, the cotton f < manupilator, Friday. "I think it : is worse than it ha< been in the p;ist | 23 years and might further state in j the past it' vears," he continued. ( i*yet with two or three years of bad , cotton crops ana nign p'lces, nr. farmers will be in the best condition that they have ever been." , Mr Sully came to Columbia to j confer with Commissioner Watson A concerning the intelligent market- ;, ing of the cotton crop. Data andj j statistics were secured from the com- ^ missioner in reference to European grading and questions involved in j exportation and baling were brought ^ up, Mr Sully having plans for branching out along these lines. ^ A further conference will be held { on September 28 in Washington at j which John Hays Hammond and!1 others will be present. ] When seen Mr Sully talked very 1 freely, discussing the general con-;( ditions of the cotton in the South, !, 3 l,!o urronta trPTP ' ana me wurn iu?v m= accomplishing toward the materiali- j( k zation of a plan for a more idtelli- ;' |L gent wav of marketing the South'? greatest product. BB When asked what the price of cotton would be he said, "Oh, that depends on certain conditions y1, B but it will be very high, for the '< B consumers will want about 13,000, < 000 bales of cotton, and the yield Jr will be only about 11,000,000 bales, j, ^ produced on about 32,000,000 acres of land." He stated that he had a number! of agents at work in the West and i that the crop was very poor therej on account of the excessive heat and i ? lack of rains. j i "1 notice in traveling through j < Georgia and South Carolina," said i **? Qniiv "that the farmers are! U?? W ? .J ? planting more corn than ever and 11 out of Augusta 1 saw some corn j i that would rival a picture I saw in 11 ooe of ihe magazines theother day | of some two story corn from Kansas, ] and in my opinion the corn crop ' will bring good prices this year. < "With a short cotton crop the 1 farmers will be in better condition 1 than at the present," said Mr Sully. ! "Prices are bound to go up and i should the farmers of the South get 15 and 16 cents for their cotton i for the next two or three years, they would be kiDgs among us." M A very high compliment was paid to Commissioner Watson. A ques- I tion concerning the cotton crop in i South Carolina was asked the com- 1 missioner by one of the reporters, 1 and Mr Sully, placing his hand on < the conimisioner's arm, said, "This ] man's work is being recognized all i over the world." i Mr L A Green of Greenville, the 1 inventor of the new cotton grader, was a visitor with Mr Sully. Mr Green gave a very interesting ac. . ?oudi oi wnai pruuiplcu uim lv invent the grader. He stated that about 15 years ago he was engaged in the cotton buying business at Greer, one of the best known cotton markets in the Piedmont section of the State, and that the house for which he worked frequently called him down on account of his grading. He stated that these occurrences pot him to thinking and he decided that there was a better way of grading cotton, so set to work to invent an instrument for the purpose. I Night On Bald Mountain.

As Seeo io Clarendon The State board of canvassers sustained the action of the Clarendon board and reversed the action of the Williamsburg board, which means that the advocates of Rutledge lose. Now it is proposed by the Rutledge people to pursue the matter further by taking their contention to the supreme court. We are not at all surprised at the persistency of our Rntledge friends. They are a liberal set and are fond of their legal advisers, who we have no doubt, will do their level be6t to earn their fees, and as long as the fee holds out to come, why 3hould they give up a good thing. When you get a good thing shove it along, is the motto of the day, and lawyers are prone to know a good thing when they see it. In the contest before the State board, J II Leeesne, Esq., represented the Clareudon board; in fact, before both boards, and there not being any provision made for such emergencies, there will have to be a provision made at the next session of the Legislature. Mr Lesesne did some very effective work to save Clarendon from becoming dismembered, and his arguments before the State and county boards demonstrated his legal ability and his knowledge of the intricate principles of law which were presented to the boards.?Manning lime*.

The Passenger T rathe department of the A thin tie Coast Line has just issued an attractive d "J-page folder advertising especially the very low home-seekers" excursion rates from Northern cities to points in the South. It is printed in two colors and begins with a general review of the agricultural, horticultural, trucking, manufacturing and industrial features of the entire system and has a short write-up of each State through which the Atlantic Coast Liue passes, namely: Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, (ieorgia, Alabama and Florida, the section being very properly called ' The Nation's Garden Spot." Special mention is made of new colonies, which have recently been and are being formed on the Atlantic Coast Line in the several States, each unde' a separate caption; due credit being given those who are making an effort to attract settlers and in this and other ways, iryiug to build up their respective localities. The folder has a number of at tractive halt-tone cuts ot agricultural and horticultural scenes and several maps showing the location of the various colonies referred to in the folder. These various features are followed by a list of representatives of the Coast Line throughout the United States, and a brief outline of the attractive schedules from the West and from the East via that line. Then follows a table of the cheap rates, followed by the information that the round trip tickets will be sold on September 7th and 21st, October 5th aud 19th, November 2nd and 16th and December 7th and 21st, carrying exceedingly liberal stop-over privileges with final return limit to reach the original starting point within twenty-five days from date of sale. On the back of this folder is a map of the United States east of and including St Louis and .New Urleane, which is likewise printed in two colors. The Atlantic Coast Une deserves much credit for this innovation and for its plicv of activity towards promoting and upbuilding the rich country through 'hich it passe?, and the results otfu ned from the very extensive distribution which is being given this folder in the North will be such, in attracting desirable settlers to the South, that the folder will be issued regularly and in the future probably enlarged as new efforts and enterprises, when known to the company, are created. A very unique feature of this folder is that the outside page contains lines for addressing and stamping the folder which is soarranged that it may be mailed with, out being enclosed in an envelope. Copies of the folder, may be obtained from Mr T C White, General Passenger Agent at Wilming ton, .N U, who will cheerfully mail copies to addresses of any prospecti ve settlers that may be sent him. A Narrow Escape. Edgar N Bayliss, a merchant of Robinsonville, Del, wrote: "About two years ago I was thin and sick, and coughed all the time and if 1 did not have consumption,it was near to it. I commenced using Foley's Honey and Tar, and it stopped my cough, and I am now entirely well, and have gained twenty-eight pounds, all due to the good results from taking Foley's Honey and Tar."
