The Condition Of Cotton.

The October returns of the Department
Of Agriculture make a decline in the
condition of cotton. The heavy rains of
the latter part of August have been COR
tinued during the larger part of the last
month, causing sprouting of seed in the
bolls. rotting of the lower and shedding
of the top bolls and foliage Rains and
winds have interfered with picking and
discolored the fibre and reduced the
grade. Recently the weather has been
more favorable, and the quality has
somewhat improved. Some correspond
ents report short staple.
The crop is everywhere late. and light
frosts threaten the early destruction of
the plant; yet killing frosts are still in
the future, and the length of the season
therefore uncertain. The average of re-
ported condition is rs o, decline from
S3.S in September.
Louisiana and South Carolina show
the greatest reduction, and Texas, Flori-
da and North Carolina the least.
The State estimates are as follows:
Virginia, so; North Carolina, 81
South Carolina, rs; Georgia, 70; Flori-
da, SS; Alabama, 80; Mississippi, 81 I;
Louisiana, 70; Texas, 70; Arkansas. SO !;
Tennessee, 81.
The caterpillar and boil worm have
been present in all except the Northern
tier OF States, and have wrought some

Paris green and London purple have
been used less effectively than usual,
the heavy rains washing off the poisonous
powders.

WHOLESALE MAIL ROBBERY.
A POtOfiice Clerk in Buffalo Engaged
in RODbing the Mail.

An extensive and bold mail robbery
was perpetrated at Buffalo, N. Y, by
which most of the arriving mail in that
city from all points, were plundered, and
papers, documents and money extracted
An examination revealed the fact that
the robbery had been general in charac-
acter, and covered letters from Canada,
Peunsylvania, New York State, New Or
leans, Boston and nearly every point
east, west, north and south. There were
In the basket checks, drafts, mercantile
orders, and the usual miscellany which
goes to make up business mail.
Among other things were Louisiana
lottery tickets. There was check
found in which its amount $3l9.90
alone remained intact, bank drafts, a
letter notifying the enclosure of draft
for 81, 464.24, the draft being missing,
and numerous letters notifying of the
enclosure of cash.
The thieves had evidently disregarded
everything but cash, aud checks and
drafts were thrown aside after being
mutilated.
Soon after the banks opened man
named John Shields, a night stamping
clerk in the postoffice presented check
at one of the banks and upon the re-
quest to identify himself, establishing
his connection with the postoffice. he was
promptly handed over TO the police,
Shields did not attempt to deny the
charge of robbing the mail, and is now
incustody. Shields was intoxicated
when captured. The check which he
presented to the German American Bank,
was payable to Jacob Dold, and Shields
had endorsed it with his own name.
The police have not been able to get
any information from Shields as yet, but
they suspect that he had accomplices, as
no money was found on him.

SOUTH CAROLINA REPUBLICANS


AT recent meeting of the State Re-
publican Executive Committee, a COM
mittee of five. was appointed to wait
upon Governor Richardson and present
a preamble and resolution adopted by
the committee, and in the name of the
Republican party, demanding represen-
tation in the management of the general
election in the State. The documents
set forth that in but one county in the
State the commissioner and managers of
elections were al, Democrats; that this
tended to prevent fair vote and honest
count. 1t intimated that the elections
for Electors and Congressmen are now
very corrupt in the State, and spoke of
the Seventh District have been fraudu-
lently taken from the Republicans.
In conclusion, Governor Richardson
was requested, in the name of hundred
and fifty thousand voters, representing
over seven hundred thousand people, a
large majority of the inhabitants of the
State, to give the people Republican
representation on the boards of election.
This they requested as simple justice,
and for the sake of sn honest vote and
idtI COUNT.
Governor Richardson has sent the
committee his reply. 1t was in sub
stance that the elections in this State
were now the fairest in the world, and
were only corrupt under Republican
rule. He would make no change in the
present order of things, for he consid-
cred to accedc to the requests of the
Republicans would not result in fair
and peaceful election. He proposed
appointing as commissioners of election
men of standing whose patriotism and
honesty could be doubted by none. In
conclusion, he said that the committee
could not make their demands in the
name Of any organized arty, as the
Republican party has been SO dead in the
State for years past that their mon !
recognition IS a party was justiiable.

According to a recent writer, what
Napoleon did with the enormous fortune
he left somewhere when sent to St. He
lena, has since remained a mystery. In
1912 se told Marshal Berthier, and also
Bourrienne, his private secretary. that
he had nearly 100, 900, 900 francs, OF
$50, 900, 900 in our money, to his per-
sonal fortune. That he did not expend
it IS certain, for there was no occasion
to do so. Then, as Emperor, the ma
tional exchequer received and honored
MS drafts. In 1906. Napoleon, after
having enriched all his family, had $1J,-
OO0, 900 of his own. The money re-
ceived from the United States for the
Louisiana purchase he used in re-equip-
ping the grand army that fought and
won 1t Austerlitz and Wagram. At
least $1,000, 900 of that money was
never accounted for by the Emperor.
