LORYEA, Propr. m SInO THE rOLnno nORTAR. 8,900,000 BALES IS LATEST ESTIMATE Statistician at Washington Makes an Estimate. BASED ON MANY REPORTS Continued Investigations Leave No Doubt That the Cotton Crop Is Even Smaller Than Indicated In Previous Bulletins. WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The statis tician of the department of agriculture reports 8,900,000 bales as the probable cotton production for tb United States for 1899-1900. This eslimate is based upon a larger number of both general and epecial reports than has ever before been received by the department in con nection with a cotton crop. While weather conditions during the past 30 days have been mainly favorable to whatever picking remained to be done, so that the general condition of the crop is slightly better than one month ago, continued investigations leave absolutely no doubt that the crop is even smaller than was indicated in either of the statistician's previous re ports. The estimated productive area is as follows: Virginia, 47; Louisiana, 1,179; North Carolina, 1,220; Texas, 6,642; South Carolina. 2,212; Arkansas, 1.726; Geor gia, b,268; Tennessee, 816; Florida. 149; Oklahoma, 199; Alabama, 2,882; Indian Territory, 299; Mississippi, 2,874; Mis souri, 77. Total, 23,522. This is 5.8 per cent less than the past year. The estimated yield in pounds of lint cotton per acre is as follows: Virginia, 120; North Carolina. 193; South Carolina. 165; Georgia, 159; Flor ida, 94; Alabama, 126; Mississippi, 209; Louisiana, 2?6; Texas, 185; Arkansas, 193; Tennessee, 166; Oklahoma, 185; In. dian Territory, 225; Missouri, 195. LARGE BLAZE IN AUGUSTA. Million Dollars Worth of Property Reduced to Ashes. AUGUSTA, Ga., Dec. 12.-This city was yesterday visited by the most disastrous fire in its history. The loss is estimated at $1,000,000. How the blaze originated no one knows. It was discovered in the heart of J. B. White's big drygoods house and spread rapidly to adjoining buildings. The Central hotel property was razed to the ground. Nothing remains but the front wall on Broad street with its empty and smokebegrimed windows. The Masonic hall has only the front wall standing to mark its site, and but a fragment of the outside walls of the Arlington hotel on the front and on Jackson street mark the place where Augusta's bast hotel stood. Schneider's corner is smoked and scarred, but not destroyed, though it is probable the gutting of the rearof the building will mean that it will give way to one far handsomer in its place. At the other end of the burnt district the Dorr building is partly gutted and badly damaged in the rear, but is prac tically intact in front. MINERS ARE IN SESSION. Officers Declare For Open War en the Knights of Labor. BIRxMGH AM, Ala., Dec. 1Z) - The state convention of the United Mine Workers of America convened here today with about 100 delegates present. The feature of the morning session were addresses by President G. W. Young and National Executive Com mitteeman William Fairley, both of whom condemned the imprisonment of National Committeeman Reese in Kan sas and declared for an open war on the Knights of Labor in Alabama. The grievance against the Knights of Labor is that members of that order took the places of striking members of the United Mine workers in Walker county recently. The convention is expected to adopt resolutions condemning the Knights of Labor and a long drawn out fight be tween the two orders is expected. Master Workmon O'Keefe of the Knights of Labor says that if the United Mine workers in Alabama inau gurate war on his organization he will make it a national conflict. VINDICATIONFOR DOUTHIT. State Liquor Commissioner Will Re tain His Position. COLUMBIA, S. C., Dec. .-A little more than a month ago J. B. Douthit, state liquor commissioner, was dis missed under disgrace by the board of control by a vote ef 3 to 2. There was talk by the majority of having criminal proceedings begun by the attorney mn eral The charges were selling contra band liquor and changing labels of goods sent from the dispensary, making it sell for more than it was worth at that time. Douthit was allowed 15 minutes to clear himself. Douthit employed counsel and ob tained an order from Judge Aldrich di recting the board so give him a triaL. After several postponements, occasioned by the wounding of J. Ludley Haselden at Sellers, the board met yesterday to try the case. Haselden was one of the majority who ousted Douthit. Thursday night at a secret meeting he offered resolu tions withdrawing the charges and re ferred the matter to the legislature. The board would not agree to this. Yes terday when the case was called, with out taking testimony, the board, by a vote of 3 to 1, Haselden standing alone, vindiated Donthis, who retains his po sition. The inference of the extraordinary action is that those who followed Hasel den formerly, since the breastplate revelations have decided that is is good politics to go the opposite way. PROHIBITION BILL IS LOST. The Measure Receives Only Fourteen Votes In the Senate. ATLANTA, Dec. 9.-By a vote of M to 14 the Willingham bill lias been khiad in the senate and state prohibition de feated. The failure of the bill to receive the 17 votes which were accorded it was due to the absence of three of its sup porters, Senators Green, Morrison and Thompson. A surprise was sprung by the op ponents of the bill in an amendment to the amendment by Mr. Terrell, provid ing for submitting the bill to the peo ple. The new amendment restricted the vote to the 22 counties to be affected by the bill. It was adopted by a vote of 21 to 18. As amended the Terrell amendment was lost by a vote of 26 to 14. The amendment having been killed, the original bill was then accorded a like fate by the same vote. The opponents of the bill filled the senate chamber with their glad shouts, but is was noticed that the people in the gallery received the verdict with a death like silence. Seaboard Granted Rights. CHARLESTON, Dec. 8.-The city coun cil last night granted rights of way through certain streets to the Chatta nooga, Augusta and Charleston railway, a new line which the Seaboard Air Line has surveyed, and which gives direct railroad connection between Atlanta andt Charlesten Others SMa_ Boast!
