ALLIANCE DEPARTMENT. J. F. NISBETi Editor. HIGH PRICES FOB MEAT. Secretary Wilson's PredictionHe Says Nothing About the Meat Puckers' Trust. Chicago, Oct. 8.?"This year's ? corn crop will be one of the largest in our history," said Secre tary of Agriculture James Wilson, who| is in Chicago with the Presidential party, to day. "The total yield, it is estimated, will be between twenty-three and twenty five hundred millions of bushels. There will be plenty for manufacturing and feeding, and. we will have all the corn to Bell that anybody wants to buy. To what extent the crop will be shipped abroad will depend *argely upon the price it will bring. The high prices offered for meats will incline the farmers to use their crop for feeding purposes. "Where stock is to be found the corn will be fed, unless the price be high. A considerable percentage of the crop will be cribbed, as the farmers generally are well off, and getting good prices for their products, so they can afford to hold their corn up. "Meats are likely to be high, because in the last few years our population has grown faster than the meat producing animals. Then injudicious grazing on the semi arid regions of the West has been destructive, and many of those range States do not have over 50 per cent of the animals they had /Si'i. un-y years ago. l,Tbe British in the Transvaal war, should it occur, will want Our canned meats.

Darlington, Oct. 9.?A horrible crime was committed in Darling ton county, Dear Lamar, jester day afternoon, for which at least three negroes will pay the penalty with their lives. Two ol them are now in jail, and it there ib nc attempt to lyuch them maiie before court conveues two weeks from today, they will be couvicl ed without a doubt and handed, tor they have confessed the com mission of the blackest crime ttiat has ever darkened the lair namt ot Darlington. If the other party is caught he will doubtless be spared the suspense of waitiu? two weeks to meet his doom. The details of the crime are toe horrible to be published, but rtiey have been told over and nvei again all over this county today It is sufficient to say a highly re spectable young lady ot Lsmai u a . .l. i >_ _i urn* puucrtsu ?i tuo uauus ui hfveral black brures, and she now Ilea iu a dangerous condition fear fully mangled and bruised. The two negroes who are now in jail admit the commission ol their fearful deed and say that i1 was accomplished only atter ? terrible struggle with their vie tim and only after they had choked her intoinsensibilitv, and that when they left her they thought her dpad. Two of them only were present, the others having gone away and had not gotten bark in time to take part iu tht deed as was their intention. One of the black brutes now in the custody of Sheriff Scarborough bears on his clothing staine of blood from his victim, and tbit now owes his life to the tact and skill of the deputies who secreted him from nn ancrr mnh unri brought him to Darlington through the swamps under covet of. the darkness. The people are arouted for miles around, aud justly so. The third negro, one of those who assaulted the unfortunate girl, has not yet been captured, but he will be if he is in Darling ton couuty, and if he happens to fall into the hands of any of the present searching party his hours of life will be but few more. There was a deal of talk of a mob coming to Darlington tonight for the purpose of lynching rne two negroes who were stolen from its fury last night. It was at first thought by the citizens that, an effort would be made to I induce the governor to order a special term of court for tomorrow or next day and give the poor wretches a speedy trial, but as court convenes here two weeks from today, anyhow, it was afterwards decided to attempt to stay the wrath of the angry men and allow the law to take its course. A partv of representative, hut sympathetic men went to I.nmar this morning to try to persuade tho?e cooler ones there not to at! tempt any mob violence. While ' these men fn 11 v realize the justice of the anger and the desire for i revenge on thp part of the rela tives and friends of the girl, thev ! nevertheless know that it will be better to have a legal trial and a i legal execution than to have the (negroes lynched There can he no doubt that the prisoners will he i convicted if they are allowed tn ; have a trial, for one of them has admitted that thev did it and has : told the tale in detail.

V.eJ =f " v* t Hard Enough I ^ WashigPowdei! COTTON TESTED BY FIRE. Experiments at Lowell Show the Advantage of American Koundlap Bales. I he Koundlap bale of the Americau Cotton Co., the Lowry hale ot the Planters' Compress" Compauy, and an ordiuary square cotton bale were subjected to a thorough going fire test in Lowell, "***" Mass., June 8th by the Associated Factory Mutual Fire Insurance Companies ot the United States, t<>r the purpose ot determining the relative fire hazards o> the several methods of baling cotton. Two small frame houses, exactly u like, and some distance apart had been erected on a vacant plot and the space beueath them filled (with hoards and cotton waste, over which ten gallons of coal oil were poured, in one building eight American Koundlap bales and one square bale were stored. In the other, eight Lowry bales and one square bale. The torch was applied and the flames were permitted to burn one hour before being extinguished. It was as not a blaz as cotton could well be subjected to. There was no test, of the square bale, owing to th? fact that when the superstructures collapsed, which they did a few minutes after being fired, one of the square bales fell away from the flames and then the other was removed. It was evident and generally conceded that the American Koundlap bale stood the test m iinh bat tne ibnn b u T < a rrr ?? tf bu 1 a HI II? a? noun tiitin lur IJW TT i y uaiu* Nearly all the wires on the Lowry . hales were burned ofr and the bales elongated from their original length of 3 feet 3 inches to 6 feet and over. This exposed the cotton in the Lowry bales to the flames which were eating into the hales at many points when the fire was put out. Two of the Low rv bales broke in two and were more badly burned than the others. The American hales stood up splendidly under the severe or deal rhev neither unrolled nor extended in length, and only the outer surfaces exposed to the intense flame were burned. This latent t"*?bt, was only another triumph f r the American Cotton Company's Roundlap bale. The cotton saved from the fire will ho enrfnilv picked "over and the salvage reclaimed will be weighed.
