The following letter which we take
from the Magnate Ohronlole will be
mod with Intermt:
Bear Sir: Tim contention of the
Southern Cotton ▲aacolatlon, held In
AaherlUe, N. a, on the eth, haa ad-
journad, and paaaea down Into hlatory
•a a meet Important meeting. While 1
waaln bopea tint thla meeting would
-ftx twelve eenta aa the minimum price
ter cotton during thla aaaaoo, which
price, when the atie of the crop la
taken Into oonalderatlon, la cheap,
they thoughtdlfferently—eleven oeota
minimum waa agreed upon aa the oor
mat figure, and ao, from now on
eleven oeota la the minimum price to
be demanded by all loyal farmerafor
their cotton during thla aeaaoo. When
ten oonta per pound was fixad last
February by the convention In New
Orleans and demanded by the farmers,
all manner of fun was made of the far
men,and their aaeodatlon,by the Wall
Street gang.but not ao now;tbey know
by experience what the fanners mean
and bow well they will carry out their
. agreements. If the farmers will prove
loyal, and I believe they will, you will
eee cotton selling from eleven oenta
per pohnd inside of two weeks. Don't
rush your cotton on the market too
rapidly, fellow farmers. Market It
■lowly. I~ believe we have the short
est crop we have had In years. And,
If sufficient labor can be gotten, the
crop In Georgia and Sqpth Carolina
will be gathered by October fir «t, and,
.from the best information I can get,
the remainder of the cotton belt la in
the same fix. As soon as It dswna on
the spinners and speculators bow short
this crop is you wiU see a rush for the
for the staple, and up will go prices.
Keep your oottoo, draw enough money
on It to pay your debts so as not to
block th* <rheeis of odmmerce and
trade, pay your merchants, that they
may In turn pay the wholesale mer
chants from whom they bought the
goods add you. When you do this no
one has a right to quastion your right
to bold your cotton and demand a fair
lurloe for It. The rapid marketing of
cotton during the last ten days is re
•ponatble for the decline in price*; be
patient; market slowly and you will
make money by It. I ^xp ot to see
cotton eeli lor fifteen oentsby JUT
uary 15th; therefore In my Judgment
to rash ootton on the market means a
lorn of money to you; but as before
advised, while demanding justloe for
yourselves accord Justloe to others;
draw suffletent money on your ootton
and pay your debts so that the man
you owe can pay bis debts and busl-
nssa will go along smoothly. 1 no
tice that the census bureau Is out
with a report of ootton ginned up to
September Itt.showing that 469,500
balsa of the present crop was ginned
up to said date. This Is a bad show
log tor the crop and demonstrates be
yond question that the crop la in
poorer condition than recognlsxl and
claimed by experts. No such an
amount of ootton would have been
opened In August If the crop was In a
healthy condition. More than half of
the cotton opened In August was
forced open by the dry, bet winds we
bed. Lots of the bolls were unma
tured. Opened because the plant bad
1 ft all of lie vitality. Suob oondl

I expected to see a fall report from
Mr. North at this time. I expected

A dispatch from New Orleans to
the Atlanta Constitution says from
nformation received here It la bellev

which sank Admiral Togo’s flagship,
the Mlkaaa, and at the nme time
threw light upon the cause for the
remarkable marksmanship which de
vested the Russian Baltic fleet la the

Joseph Morgan, of tbls city, brother
of Oharles Morgan, formerly gunner
on Admiral Sampson’s flagship, New
York, states that the American gun
ner JMned the Japanese navy and was
a member of the crew of the Mlkaaa.
Gunner Oharles Morgan Is said to be
one of the thirty-five American man-
o'-warmen who deserted at Manila and
Joined the Japanese navy.
It was ha who fired the first shot at
San Juan. Porto Ktoo, and subsequent

in the United States navy.
Morgan's skill as-a gunnar was cele

yard at New Orleans, told,him his
brother deserted at Manila, and, with
thirty-five comrades, Joined the Jsp

A BOLD ROBBER.
A I /one Highwaymen Held-Up and
Robbed a Coach*
A dlspath from Lounder, Wyoming,
says a typical WCatera stage robbery
by a lone highwaymen took place be
tween Myerevllle and Rengls, on the
Rooky Mountain Stage Company's
run, last week. Toe highwayman
took all the valuables from the ex
press box, ’ robbed the mall sacks,
and took tbe cash from the three
passengers and the driver down the
trail, with Instructions to keep going
without looking back on pain of be
lug ■hnt
The stage with its three passengers
was bowling along aa a good rate
whan suddenly the command to halt
rang out and a masked man arove
from behind a boulder, two guns In
hie hands, oovarlng the driver. With
a curt remark that “the first man
who attempts to resist will be shot, ”
tbe highwayman forced tbe |
gen and driver to alight and range
themselves with tbelr backs to him
and their hands above their heads
“If any man looks round I’ll kill
him,” said the robber.
After busying himself a few minu
tes with tbe mail and axpreae, the
robber forced each man to step back
of tbe lined-up people and took tbelr
pocket-books one-at a time. He re
fused watches, but took all the pis
tola in sight. All were ordered Into
tbe stage and went on their way.

A dispatch from Klnat, N. D., says

by a former Youngstown man there

found about Herilg's neck Is supposed
to be tbe remainder of the veil, sa he

An iron pot containing 850,000 In
gold coin, tbe newest of which was
115 yean old, was found on the farm
of James Rivers, near Chesterfield, 8

and Will Edwards, a negro, while en
gaged recently in digging a ditch.
Tbe pot was carried to a point 2
miles away and burled near a creek
bank. When, two days later the
finders went after the pot It had mys
teriously disappeared. The negro
chargee the white man with having
appropriated the money and hidden
it from him, while Teal declares the
story la all a joke and no pot was un
earthed. Edward sticks to his story
and has produced proof of Its genuine

has associated with him one of the

since been working on the ease,

the majority of which are In school

the Democracy, as a national org'nli

'‘sumptuary lawt,” such as statu .or j
prohibition of the liquor trafflj, the
most and tbe beet kind of prohibition
Is now found In the few states that
are solidly planted In the Democratic
columns. The Boston Globe notes with
Interest tbat while Maine le growing
more and more uneasy about the sys
tem of prohibition, and getting ready,
for a campaign of rcsubmission to the
people of the whole question, Geurgf
and South Carolina an earnestly
log prohibition. The Globe statesihat
already In Georgia 103 counties have
no license, 28 have dispensaries, aad 6
have high license. The effort no w le,
says the Globe, to have the legislature
provide a system of “State option”
under which the six counties enjoy
would'be wiped out. Our Boston eun
temporary adds that:
“In South Carolina there le a re
markable movement to close np tbe
dispensaries, and Senator Tillman pro
pbtea to leave the question to the
Democratic primary. The prohibition
Ists in South Carolina, aa will as In
Gecrgla, are confident that tbelr cause
will win If presented tebthe people.
“At the same time It ls eurlous that
the opponents of prohibition In Maine
and Kansas, where the system has
been tried, are as confident that tbe
people are ready to vote against a oon
tlnuanoe of tbe present regime as tbe
Georgia and South Oarollnan prohibi
tionists are tbat their case needs only
tabe presented to find acceptance at
tbe hands of the people. ”
