Liverpool Market Calmer.
Liverpool, Sept 14 -Thc cotton
market ia calmer today. A decline
was caused by disappointing New York
advices and sales for September and
October delivery here against purchaser
of actual cotton in America.
Expelled For Hazing.
W. E. Curtis, writing to the Chicago
Record of the classes at West Point,
says : "Ths new cadets had a fairly
easy time in camp this summer, and,
thanks to Superintendent Mills, they
passed through the ordeal of their initia?
tion without much hazing or 'deviiing'
from the older cadets There was only
one case of hsziog so Ur as discovered.
Cade? Harrell, of South Carolina, a j
member of the third etas.*, entered the
bath room where a 'plebe.' or freshman,
wa.-- taking a bath and compelled him
to go through certain physical exer?
cises, and fioaliy to s'and upon his
head. Lieutenant Smith, who happened
to be passing, beard Harrell's voice,
entered thc batu room, demanded an |
explanation ami ordered Harrell to
report at once at the superintendent's j
office When Lieutenant Smith's i
charges were handed to him a few !
minutes later, Harrell admitted his
guilt and was instantly expelled He !
ofiered to resign, but it wa-; not '
permitted. He sought thc intercession j
of the senators and representatives .
from his State, but Colonel Milis allow?
ed him no consideration, for thc reason
that he, with others bad made a pledge
to stop hsziog."
A Shut Down Probable.
! The Mill Situation at Augus
i
ta, Georgia.
? _
j Interviews with the various mill
presidents yesterday shewed the out?
look in Augusta to be gloomy enough
and unless the price of cotton fails
within ihe next few days hundreds of
operatives will be thrown out of
employment Several of the mills
have little cotton on hand, but when
that is consumed a shut down is
aimost inevitable
President Chaffee repeated in sub
stance his statement to the Chronicle
the night before The Sibley mills
would tak' jntage of the high
price of i .ton and shut down for
repairs OL the wheel, which might
possibly consume two or three weeks
time
The King mill has also posted a
notice for a two weeks ?hut down.
Mr Stewart Fhinizy, president of
j the Augusta factory, said he had
! cotton enough on hand to run for a
week or two and thal no action would
be taken this week
Mr T I Hickman, for the Granite
ville Mfg Co, said they would con?
tinue to run as long as they could
"swap dollars/' in order that they
might give the operatives employ?
ment, out if thc situation became
critica!, of course the interest of the
stockholders would have to be con?
sidered.
No instructions have been received ?
regarding the Southland mill.
Mr James Verdery, president of j
the Enterprise, said that if the cotton
goods prices did not improve, at the
present price of cotton, the mills all
over the country would be compelled
to shut down
Mr Chester Clark stated that no
action had been takeu in regard to
shutting down the Globe mill.
Mr Thomas Barret said that the
Aiken Mfg Co would continue to run
on full time, but a notice would be
posted next week that the Langley
mill would run on half time.
As about 9,000 people will be
directly affected by the shut down,
much anxiety is felt over the situa

Drummers for Bryan
Mr Bryan Lawrence, proprietor of
ihe Planter* hotel, has just returned
from New York and has some very
interesting reflections lo make on his
trip The feature of the joint which
struck Mr Lawrence most forcibly
was the political situation in New
York city It seems that the metro
polis, by ail signs, will go for Bryan
in the election next November. In
speaking on this subject Mr Lawrence
said :
"I have never seen such a change
of political sentiment in any city as
that which I faced in New York.
Fours years ago Bryan's name was
scarcely mentioned-everything was
McKinley Now there is nothing
but Bryan talk Everywhere a per
SOD goes he encounters Bryan pic?
tures, Bryan badges and Bryati talk.
Every sign indicates that Bryan will
sweep the city 1 did not meet any
of the State politicians, but the city !
is surely for the Nebraskan
"Another thing that is surely true
in connection with the coming elec
tiou. is that the traveling men, the
drummers, are going for Bryan by a
large majority Nearly 9t> per cent
of them will be democratic on ac
count of the republican party foster- j
ing thc trusts. I notice that right j
here m my own hotel I talk with j
the men who stop here and nearly !
everyone of them wilt vote against j
McKinley and trusts You can read
all the republican literature you I
please about the drummers being j
solid for McKinley but its all a fake I
Tiie travelling men are for Bryan and
don't 3'ou forget it."-Augusta
Chronicle.
Senator Foraker is quoted as having
said he would aa soon to tho eenie- i
fer? as to have to ?nabo a speaking tour '
tor McKinley in this campaign.
