GOSSIP FROM GREENYILLE.
In the Mountain City
The Two Courts-Flow Judges Bryan
and Orr do their Work-A Blue Ac-
count OF the Crops.
TFRoM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENCE

GREENVlLLEi .. S.s OepleluUeE 10.
The Mansion House and private boarding
houses are full, and there Is as much company
here as there was before the war. Travellers
are the lile of this city. The families from
Charleston are numerous. Among them are
ex-Mayor Macbeth and family, Oliver Middle
ton, Esq, and family, and Judge Bryan and
family. The city Is all alive. New stores are
opened and the prospect OF the R. A. A. L.
Railroad with their workshops, and the work
shops of the G.. and G. Railroad, make bright
the prospects of this place.
Two courts are sitting here-the United
States Court, Judge Bryan, and the State
Court, Judge Orr. They are very different
men in appearance and method of doing bust.
ness. Judge Bryan Is ''cilizen' in look and
method of work. He does everything with
scimetar. Judge Orr Is intensely country" In
appearance, and works with sledge-ham-
mer. Judge Orr is great favorlte on the
bench with the bar, the Jurors and Witnesses.
He works all day, takes recess tor dinner, and
is at 1t until dark. His charges decide nearly
every case. Heis not profoundly legal, not
phllosophcal-hates metaphysics, but takes
sense views OF every subject, that a jury easily
understands the case and can make verdict.
was yesterday In Judge Orr's court, and
witnessed curious scene going on. E. Z.
Stokes, Esq, candidate for Congress at the
last election, was pleadDga case, and claimed
a verdict for the full amount, not fifty per
cent. as is usual In this court. He charged
heavily on the Judge; alluded, every few
sentences, to his fifty per cent. opinions; pro.
nounced them to the Jury, Judge and full
court unjust, unpatriOtlc, unchrislian, dis
grace TO one OF the Old Thirteen, and went on
in that style for long time. lett him In the
midst. Judge Orr has great self.control, and
bore it all silently. 1t was too personal, and,
beside, indiscreet and i-dmed. The fifty per
cent. verdicts have seen their day, and are
near an end, and, although demorallzlng, the
few remaining cases will likely be settled as
their predecessors have been.

first picking was fine, all you could wish; the
second will be good, and that ends 1t. There
will be no third, fourth or flfth as usual; and
this field is O specimen of The cotton all about

the whole crop will be gathered here by Octo-

sEN.IroR SCOTT and THE KU-KLUy.
Telegram to New York Tribune.l

WASHINGTON, September IA.
Senator Scott has received aud forwarded to
the President the original letter denying the
charge of recent outrages and disorders In
Spartanburg County, 8. c., which was sent
from Charleston on the 7th instant. Accom-
panying this, Senator Scott addresses the
President personally, explaining the alleged
misintormation. The dispatch contradictlng
Senator SCOTS letter declared that no
outrage had occurred there since the
subcommittee OF inquiry left that Sec
ton. The senator says: 1.-The aggra.
waited case mentioned in the paper SUBJ
mtted to you, as having occarred in Spartan
burr County, was that OF man named Quinn,
who was stated to have been brutaily whipped
in Pacolet township, 10 that county. lhe letter
of Colonel Gabriel Cannon, and another letter
of DR.. q. w. Cummings. both reaching me To-
day, and herewith submitted, taken together,
show that the outrage was committed
in Union County, short distance from
the line of Spartanburg, while Quinn was
there on a visit TO his brother.n-law; that
Quinn is a citizen Of Spartanburg County,
and that one of the persons arrested for the
offence ia also q citizen OF that county,
The senator thinks that the denial is in reality
a mere evasion, as the crime charged was COM
mtted on citizen of Spartanburg, just over
the line, and probably by his teliow.citizens OF
that county. He afirms that, in calling the
Presidents attention to TINS and other acts,
and possessing full knowledge OF the state OF
opinion in that region, demand for the pro.
ciamation of martial law was clearly In accord
with his duty, and the views OF q majority Of
the subcommittee Of inquiry. The report,
which accompanied Senator Scott's first letter
TO the President, was from Colonel Merri l.,
Commanding in Union County, and is now oa
fle In the Attorney Generals office.

NEW YORK, September l6.
Professor Mahan went on board the steamer
Mary Powell, this morning, at West Point, on
his way to New York. Nothing peculiar was
noticed in his manner, but about an hour after
he Jumped from the steamer forward OF the
wheel into the river. He was undoubtedly
struck by the wheel, as his body did not come
to the surface. Boats were lowered and every
effort made to save him without success. His
act was undoubtedly deliberate, as his coat
and overshoes were found in the vicinity
where he made the fatal Jump. He went on
board the steamer With his housekeeper, who
seemed to have suspicious that the old gentle
man was in trouble. He said TO her: Don't
follow me about" He succeeded In getting
away from her and disappeared. He was
seen to make the fatal leap by one OF the
pilots, who gave the alarm: Professor Mahan
was man about seventy years old, apparent
ly hale and hearty. A search will be made at
once to recover the body.

The question now arises what will be the ag-
gregate ofthe cotton crop of 1912? We believe
mat we give outside figures when we say that
it may possibly reach two and quarter MIL
lions of bales. Our reasons for believing that
there will be small crop this year are based
upon the fact that the early rains In January
and February prevented the farmers from pre-
pairing their lands properly; that tne crop was was

Georgetown.
The Times, OF the l4th inst, says 1--WE last
week mentioned that the rice harvest was In
terrupted by rain which commenced on the
Tuesday before. We are sorry to say that the
rain continued, with high winds from the east
and northeast, until last Monday, rendering IL
out OF the question TO either cut or handle
rice. This must necessarily cause damage and
serious loss to the planter. The rice birds, too,
are doing incacuabe damage to the crops

The Albany, Georgia. News says:
Since the storm of last week, this section
has had rain enough for a tidal wave, and the
whole face OF the earth Is flooded. Cotton is,
of course, suffering seriously. 1t has had no
sunshine assistance TO recoverfrom the effects
of the cyclone, and the consequence is the
bolls are dying, and the young fruit cannot
mature. We are assured that the damage Is
much greater than WIS supposed last week,

counties. It Is now evident that Southwest

any previous year, and that We are safe In an

Reports from Florida.
A correspondent OF the Savannah News
writes from Lake City, Florida, on the 10th

Having experience Of forty-hve years as 9
farmer, I have never seen such a failure oil

will be one-third OF a cotton crop gathered this
year from this point to Orange County, dis
lance of about two hundred miles. was there
during the storm, and I examined the crops
very closely on my return, and found that the
storm had washed of nearly all the leaves anc
forms. The rust In many places has almost
entirely destroyed some farms In this vicinity
and, to take everything into consideration,
do not think there can be one-third OF coltor
crop, long or short, gathered this year.

have been purchased by Messrs. Coles, SIzer &
Brink, who are now negotiating with parties
With view to re.establIsh powder manufac-

be better arranged for the manufacture OF
powder than any similar Institution 10 the
United States. Every provision is made in
their construction to prevent explosion, the
powder during Its various manipulationss,
being placed in comparatively small quantl-
ties in different compartments. During The
war the greater part Of the powder used by
the Confederate armies was manufactured at
these works, and their capture by the Union
forces in 1863 or '6f would probably have
caused the surrender of the Confederate forces
much sooner from want OF ammunition.
