.had safely landed Raymond in
the Mercer county Jail at Princetown.
Through Aliss, who is near death

Identify the negro as his assailant,
the sheriff has little doubt of Raymond's
guilt.
The arrival of Capt. Samuel L.
Walker with 15 militiamen Jubl after
dark made it possible to Bave Raymond's
life. For five hours the sherllf
with 30 deputies held the negro
on a special train which a mob of
1,000 men refused to let move. Upon
the arrival of the first detatchcnent
of militia the sheriff escaped
to the mountains with his prisoner,
while the mob leaders were held at
the point of bayonets.
Three companies of militia arrived
early Tuesday from Charleston,
but upon receipt of news that the
prisoner had been landed in jail, orders
were issued for their immediate

CAN HO LI) OUR OWN.
Hawaii Cannot Approach the South
in Cotton.
The cotton in Hlwaii can never
rival that of the South, according
to Dr. E. V. Wilcox, director of the
government Honolulu experiment
station who is in Atlanta on a trip
cf study of Southern cotton culture.
Ho says that although the islands
produce a fine grade of sea island co .ton,
bringing from 30 to 3 5 cents per
pound, there are only 20,000 acres
suitable for cotton culture. But 1 ,000
acres are now under cultivation.
Dr. Wilcox brought with him some
seed of Cara Vonica cotton to see
whether it can be grown in this soil,
lie says this cotton is perenlel, bear
ing each year from the same stalk,
and requiring only one planting. In
Hawaii, he stated, these cotton
plants are pruned to prevent them
from attaining a height of 10 to 12
leet.

DRAUGHT REPORTS BOAST THE
COTTON MARKET.
l'iy Spell in Texas and Consequent
Deterioration of Cotton Raises
Price on New Crop.
Texas and its dranght has been the
eliief topic in the cotton trade this
week. No rain worth mentioning
hj?s fallen in the sections where it
is needed moBt, i. e., in the central
nnJ southern districts, and there is
a general belief that further deterioration
in the crop has taken place
as temperature have beeu reported
daily at many stations of from 100
to 107 degrees.
The effect of these conditions has
been to cause active buying and a
further rise in the price of the newcrop
months. August has moved up
in comparison with the new crop,
but interest in that month has been
small.
Unfavorable reports are still being
received from some of the Eastern
belt despite the prevalence most
of the time for a fortnight of favorable
weaiher conditions. The crop
in some sections is still said to be
"rati and late. Reports of spot conditions
of the fields are numerous.
Some take the ground that over
three-quarters of Texas there has
been considerable decline in the condition
of the crop since the date for
the last Goverment reports were
riithered. The belief still exists
among many that the total yeild ij
certain to fall below twelve million
bales, unless exceptionally favorable
weather conditions prevail in the remainder
of the growing and tiie
picking season.
The reports of precipitation caused
active selling for both sides of the
account. It is a nervous weather
muiket. Over the region east of the
Mississippi, the weather in the week
has been favorable and reports continue
to be received form not a few
it marked improvtfents in the crop
outlook.
The spot markets at the South
have been quiet. Liverpool spot transactions
on most days have been
small and trade news of late rather
less firm. At times the market has

National President Barrett and State
President of Alabama Farmers
Union Sounds Protest.
Strong opposition to the proposed
plan of John Hays Hammond. Daniel
J. Sully and other cotton men to
establish a chain of cotton warehouses,
developed Thursday at the
opening session of the Alabama Farmers'
Progressive Co-operative uniou
at 'Montgomery, Ala.
National President C .S. Barrett
referred to it in his address to the
convention. He said:
"A meeting was called, Atlanta
being selected to discuss the advisa
bllity of gathering under one business
organization the control of the
union warehouses in Georgia. There
were more than 1B0 such establishments
at the time, the number being
second only to those of Texas.
"It was proposed to have a boss,
a big man to r\in the business to
have it under the control of a few
men. It was proposed to the farmer
to give up his rights and turn the
control over to the boss. A year lat*r
another meeting was held und the
rlan failed to carry.
"I advised that we never surrender
our rights. Hold what you
have.
"The trouble with you farmers is
jou want too much; you are never
satisfied; rest awhile when you get
something and enjoy it; never give
up your warehouses. They refused
to , in Georgia."
State President W. A. Morris in
an interview, declared:
"The Southern farmers, realizing
along what lines their best interests
lie will never affiliate with such a
movement. To block such a movement
will be our strongest effort.
Can any one suppose the Southern
farmers will place the control of the
cotton crop in the hands of another
interest?
"We are well satisfied with existing
conditions as compared to what
the result of the udvent of Buch a
cotton institution would be. I am
convinced the farmers of Alabama
and the rest of the South will meet
this plan with a cold shoulder. It
is not their Interest or the interest

which they do business."
More than seven .hundred delegates
are present.
<.X>TTON CROP BETTER.
\Vith ITrust the Production Will
Be Fairly Good.
The Memphis Commercial Appeal
publishes the following cottou crop
nummary on Monday:
"For three successive weeks cotton
has improved in the States east
of the Mississippi and its promise is
now fair to good. The crop is late
and would be seriously damaged by
tn early frost while later than usual
is needed to allow the fullest
promise to be fatured. The plant
v.MLhiu the past two weeks has
grown very rapidly and is attaining
fair size. It is setting bolls quite
satisfactorily and the firm tone is
decidedly more optimistic.
"Such rains as fell in the past
week were beneficial. They were '
local In many sections, however, and
the Curolinas and parts of Georgia
would be benefited by general precipitation.
"Even in the earliest sections of
this Eastern belt there is very little
cotton that is ready to open and the
movement to market will bo delayed
well into September unless a ,
drought later on, should force premature
openings.
"Roll weevils are active in Louis
ami ana Mississippi and are doing
some more harm than was earlier
anticipated. I
"In Texas no rain fell except in
some of the Red River counties and
.he crop lost ground steadily.
"Cotton is opening very rapidly
in southern and southwestern counties
and is being rushed to market
as fast as possible by the farmers.

ROBBING THE INDIANS ]
SENATOR GORE'S CHARGES TURN*
ON THE LIGHT. ^
Many I>a.nd Robbers Waxing Rich on
Nation's Wards Who Have Great
Ho?lies of Land.
Every Inch of land owned by Indians
is looked upon as the legitimate
prey of the land grabbers."
This statement was made Monc
ay at Sulphur. Okl., by a member
of the committee appointed by the
Mouse of Representatives to investigate
Indian land contracts.
Besides the charges of Senator
Icie that he was offered $a0,000 1
bribe to "boost" bite McMurray con- i
trccts in Congress, the committee i
is inquiring unto Indian land conditions.
"Some of the land-grabbers' '
acl ernes certainly should be called '
to the attention of Congress," said a I
committeeman. "One man, we have s
.earned, has become rich. He kept 1
a list of Indians who owned allott- i
ed lands. Whenever an Iddian i
died he rushed into court, had a i
guardian appointed with the connivance
of the guardian, demanded ?
hat the land be sold under a ridi- !
eeluously low valuation, for a few t
hundred dollars. He has bought 1
whole sections of land. This man, '
who is only one of many, started l
with no capital, now owns 10,000 1
cries. for which he paid the Indians t
an adequate compensation. As there i
