Pressure of | j the most pronounced .sort is being j j brought to bear upon the cotton! | growers of the South to break up j itheir holding movement and thus! bring into the cotton growing market! such a mass of the staple as will enable the enormous speculative short i interest in this city to depress prices, j | so that the bears can close out their j ! market gambles by shifting their I losses upon the growers of the South, i As December draws near and the! I members of the big bear pool are | j confronted with the possibility of' ( | paying prices at present ruling in the j South, or even higher prices, for cot- j I ton with which to cover their short! , | December contracts, they are resorting to desperate means in the hope I . of extracting themselves from a most j uncomfortable position. Stories of l the wildest sort have been circulate . ed freely with the idea of convincing ! the banking interests that the cotton ' growers, by keeping their crop out 1 of the market until better prices could be obtained, have deranged | the entire normal market for foreign , exchange and are adding to the ' money stringency from which the ' country is suffering. In this their j efforts have been entirely unavailing. { The banking interests, knowing the > facts, have refused to take this view of the situation. They are satisfied 1 that the trouble lies with the exj change market and not with the cot> ton market; that it is the inabilityof r j buyers to finance purchases that is de> 1 1 ~ kvinmn/c nf f <rr?!H jLa.yjf*j? -"-ft v.* ? . 5 from abroad. The real trouble responsible for the ^ threatened squeeze in December opI tions in New York is not due to a I speeu lati ve long interest because none 5 exists; it is due to tremendous short , interest. The bear pool, headed by Theodore H. Price, is currently ret ported to be short more than 300,000 bales of the December option, a Against this speculative short interest are the hedges held by the spinners and exporters who need theoot, ton for legitimate manufacturing and j exporting. The need of the hedge k "longs" has inspired the current premium. This also has given an opportunity to the speculative shorts to circulate a story that some thousands of bales were being shipped j back to New York from Liverpool to cover contracts. This report, however, met a speedy- death through - - - - * 0 * ? the action of foreign spinners in rasing every available bale of spot cotj ton in tne Liverpool market on the ^ very day after the reshipment story e was started. The latest among Mr. Price's intere esting moves in the hope of inducing ^ the Southern growers to aid him to get cotton fo New York for the purr pose of covering the short contracts of his pool, is a widely advertised offer to deliver currency to the South t ir exfehange for cotton. As his offer is good only up to 90 per cent of the t selling price of the cotton, and as he announced that the prevailing New " York premium on currency, now ; ranging around 4 per cent, will have to be- paid by the cotton shippers, t such a move is by no means benevolent on Mr. Price's part. It also shows how badly Mr. Price wants to t get cotton here for December delivery. a The entire situation, as regards Den cember cotton, has resolved itself into a struggle between the Price pool on the one side and the tremendous bona fide demand for the actual cotj ton on the other. This demand reri sisted all the ideas of the men in t:.e bear pool and now, satisfied that the s cotton on their contracts is required o for aninnincr and exporting. Price n - ?-# ? and his associates appear to realize i- that their only chance of averting e tremendous losses on their transactions lies in a complete breakdown of the entire holding movement, thus a forcing the growers to sell their crop t at ridiculously low prices. It was not long ago that Mr. Price [. was speaking disparagingly of what v he termed the New York "papercontracts." Now that he is heavily short of these "paper contracts" he is surprised to find that the delivery e of actual cotton not only is wanted i. but is demanded on them. If the holding movement is mainn tained at its present strength the s Price bear pool may be compelled to o pay the growers the price to which r thev are entitled. It is the chance of n the Southern growers to make them e pay on the full basis. j Indicted For Peonage. y Thomas M. Graham and J. B. Gray ham, large naval stores operators in s Escambia county, Alabama, were indicted on Thursday by the United u cifut/.rf irrund iurv for neonaore.

DOCK NELSON TO BE HUNG 1 ji EVECLSKO* TO TAKE PLACE FRIDAY, DECEMBER SIXTH. Civil Cases Being Tried This Week. r Richardson Gets Verdict for $27$ Against County. When The Herald went to press : last Wednesday the case against J J G. Gutekunst, a white man of Den-! mark., charged with buying seed cotton at night, was being tried. The j s?v TwitH- i j uj ? wav a. xa.vv.x^a.,, -- - ? . out agreeing upon a verdict, and at nine o'clock that night the judge ordered a mistrial. We understand the jury stood eleven to one for conviction. The case of Charlie Morris, charged | with the murder of his cousin, Levy j ! Morris, near Olar, was continued, as neither the defense nor the State were ready for trial. Jim Washington, a negro, who killed another negro on Mr. D. E. Matheny's plantation near town last summer, was tried and found not guilty, it being clearly a case of self defense. M. B. Kennedy, who was found guilty of assault and battery with intent to kill, was refused a new trial, but the judge said Mr. Kennedy had great provocation, and fined him only $25. which was paid. John Gale, the negro who was found guilty of house breaking and ' ' +?*r\ HfCvQYV: | , w<xt> w ww* j w*.**, in the penitentiary. Gale broke into the house of another negro. John Anderson, the negro who was found guilty of manslaughter for the killing of Willie Cutter, white, at Midway, was sentenced to serve 20 years in the penitentiary. Nothing was dond toward trying Addison Johnson, the negro who Is in jail charged with the murder of M, B. Vara, but we understand that Johnson's attorney will make a motion for bail next week. Dock Nelson, the negro who has been in jail for ?ix months or more under sentence of death, was resentenced to be hanged on Friday, the 6th day of December. Nelson's attorney appealed to theState Supreme' Court, but he never perfected the 1 Li/)/] 4-LiA on_ appeal, anu vac jwjjuwi >mu ?*rpeal dismissed. In the meantime the county has been put to the expense of feeding Nelson for nearly one year. The criminal business was concluded by Thursday afternoon, and civil cases were taken up. A number of judgments were entered and several orders of reference taken. The case of Austin Branch, receiver, vs. S. G. and L. K. Mayfield, resulted in a verdict for the defendant. Florida Cotton Oil Co. vs. J. A. Kennedy. In this case the- jury brought in a verdict for the defendant. Jno. F. Folk vs. Benjamin Graham. The jury gave a verdict for plaintiff for $695.80. This was a suit over some land, and was the second trial. At the first trial the jury found a verdict for plaintiff for $1,200, but the judge set it aside and granted a new trial. ' The case of T. W. Richardson vs. Bamberg county was entered upon Monday. The jury retired Tuesday morning, and after deliberating several hours, brought in a. verdict for the plaintiff for $275.00. This was the second trial of this case, the fori mer case resulting in a mistrial. Our readers will no doubt remember that it was a suit for damages against the county because of an alleged defective bridge. Mr. Richardson's mule ran away with him and threw him out of his buggy, breaking his leg, ! which had to be amputated. He 1 claimed a defective bridge was the cause of the mule running away. The case of Elmira S. Durant et al s vs. J. E. Byrd and D. B. Rhoad was ' commenced Tuesday afternoon, and the jury went out about midday Wednesday. At the time of going to press Wednesday afternoon the jury is still out. This is a case involving the title to some land. The case of J. B. Guess vs the Atlantic Coast Line railroad is now being tried. This is a suit for damages. A train on the Coast Line struck a horse and buggy belonging to Mr. Guess, and injured his son and a young lady who were riding in the vehicle. Ambiguous. A Washington correspondent who used to run a newspaper in Iowa, accordingto Harper's Weekly, tells how the heavy advertiser of the town once entered the editorial offices and, with anger and disgust depicted in every line of his face, exclaimed: "That's a fine break you people have made in my ad. this week!" "What's the'trouble?" asked the editor, in a tone calculated to mollify the indignant one. "Read it and see!" commanded the advertiser thrusting a copy of the paper in the editor's face. The latter read: "If you want to have a fit wear Blank's shoes." It appears that the czar has at last secured a douma that is as tame an? easily managed as "Uncle Joe" Cannon's. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ . LEWIS CONNOR SHOT TO DEATH. Killed by -Darkle? Rush at MSficau Station oo Saturday. Eu.OB.EE, Nov. I9.?Lewis Connor was killed by Rarkley Rush ax MUhean's, a station about ten miles bekwr here, Saturday, as a result of a previous shooting affair between Connor and H. T. Rush earlier in the day. All of the participants are white, young Connor and Rush each being i ?l nn -1J XI T Jc anout years v?u. xa. a, xm<ou jld the father of the slayer of Connor. * The causes leading to tike terrible affair are revolting. It appears that bad blood existed between the participants for some weeks. He was the son of the late Benson Connor, at one time a man of considerable' means and with large connections. He recently left his mother's home, near Holly Hill, and came to Spend some time with his aster, Mrs Sue C. / Cannon, to whose home he was carried after, being shot and given all possible medical attention, but be died several hours later. / There were fully 300 people present at the inquest and not the Least sign of violence was apparent, the crowd being orderly and quiet. The facts as brought out at the inquest were substantially as follows: Mrs. S. C. Cannon, aster of the dead man, testified that H. T. Bush -U.A ?3 lar AMMtlU wj Kri muuauj ao?uv uvi and she told her brother of the affair who went to the store of the former, which is only a few hundred yards" from the Cannon home. After indulging in a very heated quarrel both men drew their pistols and be- -a gan firing, Rush receiving a slight flesh wound in the arm and Connor coming away unhurt. Returning to his sister's home he met her on the * rM way to the scene of the trouble. She prevailed upon him to go back to the store and make the matter up . with Rush, Arm in arm they returned to the scene of trouble and Jg just as they reached the store young Barkley Rush fired on Connor with a double-barreled shotgun loaded with buckshot, the entire load taking ; l|2j effect in the abdomen and thighs. I He released his hold from his sister's embrace and fell. Here the testimony conflicts, as some of the witnesses testified that Connor fired four shots at Rush, and others say he |S threw his pistol awav when be fell mortally wounded. Sir. J. S. Strock, who was some distance from the (M shooting, testified that he heard both pistol and gun shots. There is said to have been bad -' VSm blood between young Rush and Con- '; Jg nor and that defamatory reports, which those who know say are true, were circulated by Rush on the latter. The dead man up to a few years ago bore the reputation of being a quiet and sober young man, but for the past several y^ars he has been regarded as a dangerous character. ii The slayer of Connor and his father, H. T. Rush, are tenants on Mrs. S. C. Cannon's place. The verdict of the jury was that Lewis Connor came to his death by gunshot wounds at the hands qf Barkley T. Rush and that the killing was in self-defense. * m The body was taken charge of by Undertaker W. H. Dukes, of Orangeburg, and carried to the dead man's mother's home early Monday morn* fi-- P/innn. nrqa foiron mg. inc BUlJfCi VI Wtuivi nii? charge of by Magistrate T. M.

Furman Moody was shot and mortally wounded at his home, in the Mechanicsville section of this county, last night between sunset and dark. From the information obtainable today it seems that Mr. Moody was out ( hunting yesterday, and on returning to his home last night he was passing the corn field of Mr. Bright Williamson, which is located near Moody's house. Hearing someone in the field breaking corn he lowered his gun from his shoulder and called out to -*m know who was there. The response was, "Isaiah Bostick," followed instantly bv the firing of a gun, from which a load of shot struck Moody in the breast and abdomen, one ball going througn the abdomen and intestines and lodging in the spinal column, causing paralysis. Rescue parties came to Moody's relief and, following the tracks from the corn field to a wagon near by, they traced the same up the road towards Society Hill for some distance, and found 1 that the wagon had quit the road, turned around and came back toward t tvm tracks leadincr to the UU111IA.1) vwv v. ^ house of Gady ? rah am. It seems that the horse of Gady Graham is the only one in that community which is shod all around, and the tracks fol- 9 lowed were of a horse shod all around. ' Gady Graham and Isaiah Bostick have both been lodged in jail to-day. THey deny any knowledge of the crime committed. Mr. Moody is one of the most inoffensive young men in the county and the citizens of that community are very much wrought up over the occurrence. Mr. Moody married Miss Jennie Baskins about four years ago and they have one child.
