THE COTTON OUTLOOK.
The Plant in Fine Condition-The Sea-
sons Prospects.

The Plant in Fine Condition-The Sea-
sons Prospects.
The average of the agricultural bureaus
report on the condition of the cotton crop
is 81 Clio for June, and for the previous
month 81 2-1O, while last year it was SO 7-1O,
showing decided improvement this year
over last thus far in the season.
Last week the weather was favorable for
the growing cotton in this part of the belt,
and from advices further south it is learned
tuat the rains we're not as extensive or as
steady as they were on the Atlantic coast.
In consequence there was no damage sus-
tanned by the crop. On the contrary
it was benefited by the copious
showers so that advices now coming in
from planters report the crops in good
condition. This condition of affairs verifies
an old saying that dry May and a wet
June augurs well for SPLENDID crops in the
fall
1t is a well-known fact, however, that the
cotton crop is fully two weeks late. This
was caused by the very cool weather in the
spring and the May drought, which neceSsi-
tated repanting in some places The plant
from the late planting. it is said, is coming
up splendidly, and the early planting is
fruiUing rapidly. There are reports of con
siderable grass but this is not to any ex-
tent.
The reports from the sea island districts
in Georgia and Florida are uniformly
favorable. Like uplsnds, however, the sea
island crop is also late, as almost the same
conditions governed its growth Should
the weather continue favorable
from now on, a heavy crop
will be the result both in staple, cleanness
and in an ample yield. The crop has, how
ever, got to weather three of its worst
months when considerable heat is expert
enced, and storms as well as the inevitable
caterpillar.
Cotton should command at the opening
of the season good average price, as there
is little OF the old crop IN sight This is
particularly a healthy sign, inasmuch as
there was large crop produced last year,
showing that the needs of the world keep
pace with the increased production.
The advices from rice show that crop to
! be in splendid condition.

TOO EAGER FOR WEALTH.
a Clever Young Thief in Jail for Steal
ing Gold Watches.


ing Gold Watches.
Justice Naughtin committed James Ben
nett, young man Of IS, to Jail yesterday
for stealing a lady's gold watch from
Desbouillons' jewelry store on July 2, and
for stealing W. r Leaken's gold watch on
July 4, and last night Justice Naughtin
committed Louis Sholes, a young man of
10, whom Bennett duplicates in the larceny,
but Sholes strenuously denies that he is
more than au acquaintance of Bennett.
= The watch taken from Desbouillons' store
had been left there for repairs, and when it
was missed an Inquiry was made at Muhl-
berg's pawnshop, and Mr.. Muhlberg said he
had but short time before taken in a
Iady's gold watch upon which he had
loaned IS. The watch was produced and
identified as the one stolen. The party
pawning 1t had taken receipt III the name
of J. France, under which name, only with
different initial he had pawned a coat.
On July 4 young man, whom Mr.. Mulh-
berg identified as James Bennett, brought
Mr.. Leakens watch TO be pawned, and
when Mr. Mudlberg got it in his possession
be denounced tie party bringing it as a
thief and refused to lend anything on it.
and the young man fled out of the pawn.
shop. Mr.. Muhlberg then hunted up De-
tective Wetherhorn and gave him the
watch, with description OF the boy. and
on Friday night Bennett was arrested by
the detective, tho officer having turned the
watch over to Mr.. Leaken on the day it
was recovered, and before that gentleman
had missed it. Ga Friday Mr. Muhlberg
said he met young Bennett ON the street,
but Bennett ran off.
A MORNING NEWS reporter had an inter
view with the young man yesterday in
Justice Naughtin's office, and the prisoner
accused a young man by the name of
Emery of taking the watch, but later on he
accused young Sholes, and relieved Emery
of suspicion. The conflicting stories go far
to leave the impression that the denial of
Sholes is made IN good faith. Sholes will
doubtless be bonded out to-day, and Ben
nett on tomorrow. The latter Is reck-
less young mau, and has been In trouble
before, having served nine months in prison
in Florida.

South Bound Railroad Subscriptions
Coming In.

! President Herman Myers of the South
/ Bound Railroad Company expressed himself
yesterday as encouraged with the success of
the partial canvass 10 the stock of the rail
road made the past week in Savannah. He
had list Of subscriptions taken which
amounted in round numbers to about
| $4,000, and not half Of those
whom the canvassing committee expect to
call upon the present week have been seen.
The canvass IS expected to close this
week. and Mr.. Myers expressed a confidence
that the amount of stock required of Sa-
vannah will be raised He says that quits
a number subscribed literally, others very
small amounts, and lie cited an incident
where the veteran canvasser, Joseph Hull,
met an excuse with stunning proposition,
which, it IS needless to say, was not &C
copied.
Mr. Hull was talking 70 a gentleman, and
trying to get him 70 put down a good slzsd
subscription, when the gentleman excused
himself by saying that he had to pay 5000
quarterly tax to the city, which made him
feel unable 70 subscribe any considerable
amount to the railway enterprise Mr.
Hull was equal to the emergency and pro
posed to pay the taxes for the gentleman
and pay ) per cant. interest on the value of
lis property if he would turn it over to
him.
All the rights of way for the road Mr..
Myers says, have been secured from Column
Ibia, 8. c., TO Sisters ferry, on the Savan-
nah river, and Capt. j. G. Clarke is now
soliciting rights Of way and donations in
Ehingham county. He is working south
ward from Sisters ferry to Savannah. The
people Of Springfield, Mr. Myers is in
formed, are making strenuous efforts to get
the south bound to come by the way Of
Springfield, and they will hold a meeting
on wednesday, to do what they can to Sc
cure it.
An application for charter of the con-
structlon company is pending in the suDe-
rlor court, and it is believed that in due
course Of legal publication the charter will
be granted. Col. Nike Brown, who has
been active In working up an interest in
the South Bound, is expected to return to

Late advices from Guyton LAST night were
TO the effect that Jacob J. Snider, the well
known carpenter and contractor, was some

an aFtlnclal respiration, and about o'clock
yesterday morning sGcc .eded in reviving
Ihe patient TO such an extent that he could

tang but little hope OF his rec very. The
drug, which 1t is suppos d he procured
"hen he visited the city Wednesday Of last

Mr. Shuptrlne said his bottles are scattered
an over the country, and it does not follow
Ihat IL was purchased at his drug store.
Snlder was absent from his home and
business most of the dav Friday, and when
found by Judge Weitman, about O'Clock
IN the evening, he was lying in one Of the
new, unoccupied houses which lie recently
erected for Mr.. B. D. Rosenbrook of Savan-

and saw that he was Snider, with an empty

Mr.. Snider has been a citizen Of Guyton

OF the contracting and building at Guyton

well. He is about % years old and men,

ago he married MISS Hinely, niece of
Mayor Sweat. and had provided his wife

That Snider intended to take his own life
is evidenced by letter he left addressed to
Mayor Sweat, in which he intimated that
his domestic felicity was not what it should
be. he gave explicit directions as to the
disposition of his remains, and went so far
as to select the hymn which should be sung
at his funeral. He is involved considerably
and gentlemen Of this city said Yesterday
that Snider owes him about $500 The
financial embarrassment appears due to the

the stations were kept open out of the fund
of 100000 at the disposal of the President,
for the prevention of the spread of cpl
demic diseases. 1t was turned over by the
Secretary of the Treasury to the marine
hospital service and the government quar-
antlne stations were kept open.
DIR. Drummer has written a letter to Sur
geon General Hamilton setting forth the
