Two SHOOTING AFFaAYs.
A Grocery Keeper Shot Last Night,
and n maehinist This Morning.

Last evening was enlivened by a cheer
ful shooting sffray, on the cerner Of Com
merce and Fourth streets, which, however,
turned out to be Of no great importance.
Nobody was killed or even badly hurt
The attempted sensation was enacted
about eight o'clock last evening. The
principal actors were John Geoghegan
aud man named Mike Mullowpey, late
of the Fire Department Geoghegan
was the one who got shot. A scuffie took
place between the two men whes pistol
went off and this gentleman was wounded
slightly on the forehead and on the
back of his head. Mr.. Mullowney
not being hurt enough to go to bed,
like the other. was conveyed to the sta
ton house. He will have an examine
ton today before magistrate. Geoghe'
gan was examined last night by DIR.
Lynch, and found to be in safe, healthy
condition.
THE UThEh.
Another shooting sffray occurred this
morning about ten o'clock near the cor
ner of Main and Washington streets, in
front Of hardware store. The shootist,
who is machinist, named Douglass B.
Duesberry, who works at the machine
shop of the Memphis and Charleston
Railroad, and man named Martin Con-
way, who works in the same establish
ment. A difficulty took place between
them last Friday, when Conway gave
Duesberry black eye with piece ofiron,
and kicked him severely in the side.
This morning Conway accosted Dues
berry on Main street, and it is alleged
threatened to shoot him; he called the
attention of those in hearing to the re-
mark, and squaring himself around so as
to get Conway between him and the
wall, drew an immense six shooter, laid
it across his left arm very deliberately
and fred twice. Both shots took effect
in Conway's left hand and arm, and be
bled very profusely. A crowd quickly
assembled. Conway was assisted into a
drugstore and Duesberry was assisted
to the station house by the police. The
wounds we're severe, but not dangerous,
| though producing weakness from loss Of
blood. Mr.. Duesberry was very cool
throughout. He will probably be brought
before magistrate this afternoon.

TIE CoTTaN CROP.
Three Million BALES.


[From the New Orleans Picayune August ISL
We see that the Northern papers estimate the cot
ton crop OF this season at the above figures and
that et twenty-five cents per pound which 1t fs sup
posed 1t VIII sell for and not less, the South will re-
celye $500, 600 OO0 We believe that there is cotton
growing SUFFICIENT to make S.0oO00 bales. but the
question Is can II be picked nnd sent to the market.
The calculation Is this:-It taxes one hand to make
four bales and OF cOnrse, $50, 900 labores 70 make
10000 900. We have not that number OF field hands,
ana when We deduct the laborer5 necessary
to cultivate sugar. rice, tobacco. corn and
wheat, and deduct also the population OF the cities,
towns and villages, 1t Will be seen that we are short
OF the labor necessary to secure 100000 bales With
more labor the South can supply the world with cot
ton. Efforts are making TO induce immigration this
way but we are not sure thar any considerable num-
Der from Europe Will come here to cultivate the soil
The On,y country where we can look for any mate
rial increase of labOrers ie China. An experiment
Will be- made next season to cultivate cotton with
Chinese lab0rers ana II II should be successful
the increase then In the production of cotton In the
South viii be great enough to supply the demand,
aud cotton raising in other countries VIII be aban-
dOned. We hope we may secure 3,UCOo 600 bales. but
fear there Is not sufficient labor TO secure that
amount.
