THE COTTON CROP.
september Report OF the National Cotton
EXCHANGE

Exchange.
NEW ORLEANS, October 4.-The fol.
lowing Is summary of the cotton
crop report of the National Cotton
EXchange for the month Of Scptcm-
Der:
The great heat of September and
the small rainfall has been unfavora-
bic TOR the cotton crop, and the effect
has forced q lowering Of its condition
TO 10 per cent. against 80 per cent. for
August, 81 per cent. for July, 85 per
cent. for June and 81 per cent. for
May. From one extreme of the cot
ton belt to the other the drought NAV
be said to have prevailed, and as a
natural result shedding has been gen
cral. The weather has proven unIsu-
ally fine for picking, and as many cor
respondents say, labor is working hard
to gather and save the crop. 1t is the
general theory that the cotton growth
is good ono, but the middle CROP is
only moderate and the top crop vcrv
poor. In many portions of several
states ginning had not commenced up
to the date of advices received, while
III other sections, with continued dry
weather, a comparatively early cessa
ton OF picking is predicted, the time
running from the middle to the close
of October. The average condition of
the crop by States is as follows: Vir-
Glnla 80, North Carolina 80, South
Carolina 81, Florida 78, Georgia 80.
Alabama 70, Mississippi Is, Louisiana
%, Texas G5, Arkansas 80 and Tennes-
sec 80.

The Georgia State Election.

AUGUSTA, Ga, October 2.-.In YES
tcaday's State election there was no
opposition to the Democratic ticket
and the vote was very much lighter
thah tour years ago, when q bitter con-
test, TEST for Governor was waged between
Coiquitt and Norwood. The Lcgisla-
turc elected will return Hon. Joseph
u. Browh to the United States Senate.
The Independents were defeated i'm
Burke and Green counties and their
other strOngholds. In several counties
in this section the prohibition ticket
was generally successful but created
no Democratic division. Prohibition
IN one form or another exists in 90 of
the l37 counties in tho State.

Professor Tulpian brought before
the notice of the French Academy OF
Medicine on July 80 no fewer than $50
modes of treating cholera, submitted by
various aspiring therapeutists. The
motive which induced those gentlemen
to trouble the Academy with their COM
munication was by no means disinter-
ested desire to relieve the sufferings OF
humanity; they were one and all candi-
dates for the Breant prize. A merchant
of the name of Breant or Brehant, who
lived all his life in continual fear of dy-
ing of cholera, and who naturally died
of some commoner disorder which never
cost him a moments apprehension, left
some years ago the sum OF f4OOO to be
given as a prize to the person who
should discover an infaIlible remedy for
cholera. This prize is still awaiting a
claimant. 1t will not fall to the lot OF
any of the present competitors, as Pro-
fessor Vulpian condemned all their sys-
TENS and recipes. Warm water, castor
oil and petroleum were some of the spe-
clfics recommended.

Professor W. Il. Rogers produces a
perfect screw by the following process:
An ordinary well-constructed lathe Is
used and cuts of various depths are taken
on a preliminary screw tor the purpose
OF tsbulating the errors of the leading
screw of the lathe as compared with q
standard measuring bar. THIS being
doue, a micrometer screw is used to
vary the relation between the leading
screw and the cutting tool The screw
is kept moving automatically, or by the
hand, so as to always correspond with
the tabulated values, which result in
producing a screw nearly free from the
errors of the leading screw. This screw
is then ground with a nut cut in the
same way; and, if not sufficiently per-
feet. 1t is then put in the place of the
leading screw, and another screw cut
from it by the same method, whereby
any remaining errors are eliminated.

The number of retired soldiers
friendly societies (Krieger.N ereIne), the
formation of which is encouraged in
every possible way by the Government,
is increasing very rapidly in Germany,
the most important being the Krieger-
bund, which embraces 1896 separate
societies, with 130. $50 members. Next
come the Federation of Bavarian Veter-
ans and the Union of Saxony Military
Associations, with 50, 900 members each;
the Federation of Wurtemburg Veter-
ans, with 10000; the Union of West
phaiian Associations. with % ,0O0, the
Union of Baden Military Associations,
with 10, 600; and the Union of Brunswick
Landwehrmen, with 5000. Efforts have
bsen made to centralize all the associa-
tions of the empire under one supreme
military head, but they have hitherto
proved unavailing, as the principal socl-
eties prefer to retain their autonomy
