' Tel. COTTON HTLOOR. ^
There is no improvement to note in the j
position of cotton during the past month,
yet we are of the opinion that the pres
ent low prices will gradually improve.
The certainty that the iast crop will not
esceed 9.000. GOO bales is more assuring
than the uncertainty of previous reports.
There has been a variety of causes to de
press the market to a point lower than it
has touched during the past 50 years.
The ignorance prevailing as to the ex- :
tent of the crop, the large forward move
ment of cotton, the decline in silver,
which affect> d European \rade. and the
conservative policy of close buying. !
which has been adopted by 'the Manches
ter spinners, all these circumstances have
had a bearish tendency. Cotton planting
is now over. and. as far as can be learn
ed. the area will be decreased by 30 per
cent. In Alabama the receipts of ferti
lizers 'his season hate been but 80,000
tons, aft compared with 100.^00 tor.s last
vear. an<t in South Carolina 13$. 000" tons
against 18J>.0?H) a year ago. This shows
conclu i eiy either that rhe area to be j
coi(Tvattvi veil b* proportionately less, oi
that the crop will receive insufficient fer !
Tilization. and mus% consequently, be di- j
micished in yield. The planters, more- 1
over, owing to the low prices received i
for their last crop, are not in a position j
to thoroughly cultivate and care for the
nextrone. Trade abroad cannot be worse, j
but must improve Manufacturers in i
England are holding very small stocks o} ?
cotton, and have been running light, as j
their business was unsatisfactory. Any !
improvement in this direction will at j
once stimulate the market for the raw !
material It should also be borne in :
mind that, in addition to a reduced crop
area, there h a grave probability that the i
next yield w.ll not be' so prolific as the j
last was. for it i* exceptional to have I
three excessive yields during three sue- j
cessive years. From another source we i
tind the India crop to be some 400.000 ;
.short. also that India cotton is beiug de- j
barred from European markets. owiDg to ;
the habit now in vogue of adu'terating j
'he long-staple India cottons bv mixture i
*ith Bhort-staple cottons. So much has
'his been done that, manufacturers ic
India are even compelled to import long
staple cotton from Egypt. The with
drawal of any Quantity of India cotton
from the European markets will cause, by
that much, an -additional consumption of
American, and the low prices, which will
Jesuit inj^he more extended use of Amer
uran cotton, will also tend to its becom
ing more firmly established in continent i
;:! European markets ?American Agii

SHOT WHILE STEALING CHICKENS.
An Anson County White Man a Poor
Representative of His Race.
Wadesboro, N. C.? Robert, or Bob
Jowers, as he was alw i ys cal ed, a young
man about 25 or 30 years of age, son of
Atlas Jowers, waf, shot through the head
by Davis Talton ia the night and instant
ly killed. The circumstances are as fol
lows: Mr. Talton and Jowers were
neighbors, living 2A miles from Wades
boro. About 10 o'clock in the night Mr.
Talton heard a. noise about his fowl
house, wTiich was only a short dis ance j
from his dwelliog. He grabbed bis pis I
tol and ran out of the house, and upon ;
reaching the yard discovered something
coming out of his fowl house and moving j
arouud it, which he thought perhaps was
a dog, on account of its appearing so i
close to the ground ; but to be sure, he j
hailed and no one answered. He then J
fired. Seeing the object move around the ]
fowl house and stop, he took the precau- j
tion to hail again, and receiving no re- i
sponse he fired agaia. About this time j
Buck Birmingham, a young man who as
sociated with Jowers a great deal, ran up
and cried to Mr. Tnlton, ''For God's j
sake not to shoot any more for that was !
Bob Jowers around there, and expected" i
Bob was killed." They goW a light and j
went to the fowl house acd found .Tow- j
ers dead with a bullet through his head, j
A ?ack was found fn the fowl house with
one dead chickec-in it and another with ;
its head pulled off lying outside the sack.
Jowers whs barefooted and Birmingham
had stood off some distance from the j
house, holding Jowers' shoes, while he j
was getting the chickens.
It is said that Birmingham and Jowers
raide the pTot last Sunday to s eal the
chickens and t ike them to a ne^ro hcrnse ?
where they were frequent visitors and i
have ihem cooked- They were both tm- !
der the influence of liquor.
BLANCHARD UP "SALT RIVER." 1
The "Czar" and the "Watch Dog of
the Treasury'' Break Lances.
Washinotob, D. C. ? In the House
Friday over two hours were occupied in
attempts to secure amendments involving
small appropriations for small creeks,
none of which were carried.
Mr Caruth humorouslv appealed for
$3 ,000 forfait river, Kentucky, in the j
name of defeated candidates for office all
over the country. He urged the chair - j
man of the committee, Mr. Blanchard, to
grant him this small boon.
Mr. Blanchard replied that so many j
gontleman had spoken to him abont va- i
rious rivers that he did not recollect the j
gentleman from Kentucky.
- Mr. Caruth naively inquired if the gen- i
tieman from Louisiana thought this state- ]
aient was a proper one to go publicly in- !
to the Record. [Laughter, j Why was
he not more ingeuious iu his remarks?
The "Salt river"' was the one stream in
his district in which he had a special in

1 o'clock Sunday morning and have not j
been captured. s;
Ritchie was a United States prisoces
and was awaiting trial. Head was jail
ed for larceny, but there wa^ grave sus
picion agaiust him for complicity iu the
death of a white man found in a horribly
mangled condition on the railroad track
in December last.
The escape was daring, and was plann
ed with a cunning forethought tlu^
shows the men to be adepts in jail deliv
ery. The exit war- made by removing
part of the sanitary arrangement of the
cell and lowering themselves into the
cess pool and ail chamber underneath the
jail was cut tlirou.h and tmMjrisoners
made their escape over the heating pipe?
of the furnace room; thence they ascend
ed to the jail ofticc antH?Kcnped thton

They were seen by a boy in the street
as they jumped fiom the window. The
alarm was immediately given The men
were pursued and traced as fai as Spar

Cureton, gaiued the !e and in this >uc
cessfdl suit she first discovered th*t the
350 aire gra^t covered tliegreatei part of

will the statute of limitation? prevent her
rec very of Hi's, tract after i he lapse of
s o many years? ' Her lawyers assert that
she is not barrel*, by the statute of limi
tations. for she married Dr. Cureton be
fore she was JJV'^ears of age. and -he re
mained a feme covert, or a mariied wo
man, until 1$?$. when l>r. Cureton died,
and she had begun hi< suit before the

The defendant- io tbis case, involving
manv thousands of dollars and many
beautiful residences, assert that they are
readv for fhe issue and that she cauu?t
