K'lilor Camden Chronicle : ? Tlio recent communications in your QoluoaD>t suggesting a p Uu to raUe, oy popular subscription, a fuml for the relief of I). J, Mully, ace based upon such a niiscoritMjw tlou of the facta in the career of that pyrotechnic speculator, that a bi ief statement of tho true condi tion of affairs might not he amino* especially if it should deter South cm farmers from contributing to this cause. Lust year Sully, by a very accur ate system of correspondence a>l over the cotlou belt, ascertained in advance of the government estimate, that the crop of 1903 would be verj abort. Ho thereupon begau his bull campaign, not to benefit the formers, but to enrich himself, a) though his efforts were advanta tff.oua to those faruien* who held Uslr cotton. If the crop had been large, Sully would ha vp been Mg grcssivel y .bearish as lie was bullish In show that he Im not working for tb? cotton producers, I would stale that after tho publication on the ?_fi.rd '"at of the goverrnnentestimate allowing a yield for llila year of over twelve million bpleg4 Sully immedi ately turnef^Fankly beWish, and the next day in the New A'.uk papers ?a*de tho , prediction that cotton would sell at live cenls.
