What is Expected Of il Among
the Cotton Fields.

Several we'll known cotton operators
Of this city, feeling an interest in the
last picking Of the cotton crop, sent
kilograms to various locations asking
information about the top crop or last
growth Of cotton, with the following
results:
A dispatch dated November 80,
from Augusta, Ca, says: in Geor-
gia and South Carolina the top crops
amount to but little. The total crop
will be thifty per cent below lastyear,
and fifty to sixty per cent has been
marketed"
From Mobile, November 28; "Top
crop has done better in our section.
The receipts here will be 10 per cent
short, and we have marketed As per
cent. ofthe CROP"
From Wilmington, N. G.; Top
crop killed. Crop 30 to 80 per cent
short, and it is coming in freely.
From Cheraw, s. G. November Is:
mo top crop. Have had cold, heavy
frosts and ice. Crop thirty to thirty
three per cent. short, aud sixty-fye
per cent. marketed.
From Charleston, November %:
TOP crop short of expectations. Ice
here on Friday. Whole crop is thirty
per cent. short, aud ffty-fve Ier cent.
is marketed.
Sherman, Texas, November 28-No
top crop here. Total crop 30 rer cent
short. Whole crop three-fourth mar
keted.
Waco, Texas, November 29.-Top
crop a failure. Our whole crop will
be 45 per cent short of last year. The
crop is now fully two thirds marketed,
In addition the foregoing the Charles
ton News says hat the blighting Of
fects Of the hard freeze Of last Friday
night has been general throughout
the State. The protracted season
of mild weather had caused the cot
ton plant to put forth a new and Wig
orous growth, encouraging many t.
believe that a fair yield would be Sc.
cured, but the sudden freeze hal
ruined the.prospect. Even on Che SCI
islands, where the cold was least Sc.
we're, the young bolls all present
scalded appearance, and the vitality
Of the plant has entirely ceased.

AN r REVENGE.
A Man who Was Kicked Out Of
a House sGets Even"

Little Rock Gazette,l
A serious looking mat went into a
Little Rock saloon and took q liberal
drink OF whisky, but when the bar
tender raped on the counter, the
nan didn't hear, but began to turn
away slowly, like one who does not
want to be considered in a hurry.
The bar tender came out and kicked
the poor fellow, and when the poor
fellow said, Look out, | don't like
this kind Of a joke the bar man
showed him out and handled him
roughly. Late In the afternoon the
same man entered the saloon and
said:
Here is the money for that drink.
| hope you will excuse me, but it is
one of my peculiarities to act in that
way. No, thank you. | don't want
another drink. I've stopped drinking.
But you may do me a favor. | am
going down in the country for a few
days, and | wish you would keep this
bundle until | return"
Certainly, " replied the bar tender,
and the man handed him a neat look
ing bundle. When the nan left the
bar tender put the bundle in the
closet. Several days afterward a ter
rible oder began to pervade the neigh
borhood. Some times when a man
would open the saloon door he would
say "Phew," and cross the street. The
atmosphere became 70 thick with
something that the health officers
came around, and on u occasion the
scavenger stoyAad his cart at the door
and laughingly Jelled that he wanted
to give the place stand off,
The floor ofthe saloon was taken W
and the bar moved, but no dead ami
mails or spoiled oysters were found,
The closet was searched, and finally
the saloon man noticed that the closer
he stood near the bundle the more
miasmatic became the air. Finally HI
opened the bundle and found a dead
cat and a large Mackinaw trout. Then
he remembered the man who wa
kicked from his saloon.

THE CHARGES AGAINST THE SUPERINTENDENT OF
THE SAN FRANCISCO MINT WITHOUT FOUNDATION
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-Ihc commission
consisting of the Hon Alex nder Ramsey, the Hon
Thomas Young and $. o. IIoughton appointed to in
vestigate the charges made by the Hon H. f. Page
against H. L. Dodge superintendent OF the United States
Mint at San Francisco has concluded the investigation
and submitted it's report to the Secretary of Treas
ury. The report fully eXonerates Mr.. Dodge from all
charges preferred against him. concluding as follows:
In conclusion the commission would respectfully re-
that the evidence did establish any of the ma
tcria CHARGES made but did establish facts that in
place OF being "cNrnva- can't" the superintendent has
been economical, and has operated the Mint within
the appropriations TO the extent of $4,000
OF the money appropriated by Congress
for the support of this Mint, besides
having reduced the estimates the appropriations
from year 20 year since the beginning his adninstra-
ton; that instead of being "law defying" he fol-
lowed the .aw and Instructions i'm every particular

honest ana hls administration has been tic

were without any foundation I'm fact, ana were their

that but Tor Such nisiniOrinatOn and the fact that Mr.
Page considered himself a rcved by the discharge of
