THE INDEPENDENT CHURCH.
The Architects Plans for Its Rebuild
ing Completed.


ing Completed.
The plans for rebuilding the Independent
Presbyterian church, destroyed by fire last
April have been completed, and the archi-
tect, Mr.. Preston, has submitted them to
the building committee. The plans are
those of az edlfice as near like that which
was destroyed as it is possible TO design it
from the limited details accessible to the
architect.
The church, it will be remembered, was
Totally destroyed, and all that Mr.. Preston
had TO guide him in the design for dupli-
cate of it was a few photographs of the ex-
terror and interior, and the measurements
of the foundations. With this very meager
groundwork the architect has succeeded in
producing a duplicate, which will doubt
less meet the approval Of those who best
remember the old church and its graceful
steeple.
The fact that there were no drawings of
any description save the photographs
already mentioned to assist the architect in
his study and labor, is the cause of the
apparent delay in getting the plans. This
delay might have been prevented had the
suggestion made some yeers since by the
late Gen. j. +. Gilmer been carried out,
namely, that plans Of the edifice should be
made and put away in a safe place so that
in the event of the destruction il could be
rebuilt. That distinguished gentleman's
fears were fully realized, but his views had
never been acted upon.

THE FLORIDA SEA ISLANDS.
Cotton Men Anxiously Awaiting New
From the Cotton Crop.

Cotton Men Anxiously Awaiting News
From the Cotton Crop.
There is some anxiety here on account Of
the storm in the sea island cotton belt of
Florida, or whether the track of the storm
reached there. II it passed over that sec
tion Of Florida with the same violence as it
did in other parts of the state it is believed
that considerable damage must have been
done to the crop
There is yet no news from that section,
ell the news seemingly being from Jackson
vile. Even if the wind was not as violent
as at Jacksonville, where the rainfall was
said to be the greatest on record
for the time, or If it was the same in
the counties of Alachua, Hamilton,
Madison, Brevard and the western
section Of the state, considerable harm
would be done to the cotton, which is fully
matured, being beat out by the rain and its
grade injured.
The Charleston Nel0s and Courier of
yesterday says; IA prominent planter of
Yonge's Island, who was in the city yester-
day (oefore the blow came upi, gave rather
gloomy account Of the outlook on the sea
islands. The plants, he said, had been
stripped of most of the leaves by caterpil-
lars in places where Paris green had not
been literally applied. The drought, too,
had curtailed the yield somewhat.

Myriads of the Little Insects Blown
into the City by the Storm.
"Did you ever see SO many crcketsP'
everybody asked everybody else last night.
The little bugs hoped about on the hotel
counters, in the ticket offices, book stores,
bar rooms, and, in fact, they were all about
wherever there was a light. They looked
fresh and happy, but terribly out of place,
as they hoped about on the hotel registers,
sticking to the writing pens and flying of
into the guests faces.
Where did they come from? That is the
question. A countryman who lives up the
line Of the Central railroad possibly gives
the most reasonable cause for their advent.
The gentleman was registering his name at
le of the hotels when a cricket hoped
down on the ink and smearing the liquid on
the page hoped upon the mans collar,
leaving his impress there
in assonishment as he reached up
and caught the little fellow on
his collar. Eyes, sir" he continued, ''it
is a regular country cricket. The woods
ont our way are 'chock' full NV 'em now.
Fish bait They are the best bait to be
found. The fishermen are catching them
now and penning them until a rainy day.
The countryman said that the storm the
other night brought thousands of them oat
as does every rain, and he believes that the
heavy wind blew the little fellows into
town. He said that be had known of such
cases, and that is the way he accounted for
the crickets that are so abundant now.

TWO oFBIoERs AT OUTS.
"Clubby" Sullivan and Marshal harris
Have Each Otner Arrested.


A case that promises to give United
States Commissioner Frank Lamar chance
to delve into the law touching the interfer-
ence Of a United States officer when he is on
duty, will come up this afternoon. The
case has already attracted some attention.
Constable "Clubby" Sullivan will be
prosecuted for interfering with United
States Deputy Marshal John G. Harris
while the marshal was enteavoring to
make an arrest. Briefly stated,
the case appears to be this: Night
before last Deputy Marshal Harris
went 70 the theater with several
warrants in his pocket. One Of the parties
whom he said he wanted to arrest was in
the theater. Before he was able to get into
tho theater and make the arrest, Constable
Sullivan, who is q special officer at the
theater, considered that the United States
officer had no business around there and
Harris says that Sullivan told him as
much.
Some words passed between the two
officers, and Constable Sullivan called upon
Policeman Smith to arrest Harris, and the
United States officer was arrested and
locked up in the barracks
until Yesterday morning. Constable
Sullivan charged Harris with disorderly
conduct, and also with carrying conceal
weapons. He says that Harris was drunk,
and was very disorderly in front of tue
theater. Harris was before the mayor yes
terday morning. ana was fiued 50 for dis
orderly conduct He claims that he tried
to get out by giving bond, but the officers
would not accept it. When he got out yes
terday morning by paving the fine, be swore
out a warrant before United States Commits
sioner Lamar, charging Sullivan with OBJ
structing legal process, and he arrested the
constable
Sullivan was before the commissioner and
rendered bond for bis appearance this af-
ternoon. A number Of witnesses have been
summoned by both officers.
Deputy Marshal Harris stouty denies that
he was intoxicated. He exhibited the four
warrants, he said, to the officer who ar
rested him, but no explanation Of the mat
ter would suffice. Oae of the warrants, he
Claims, was against a party whom he was
about to arrest and who should have bee1
bsfore Commissioner Lamar yesterday.
The commissioner said that he
thought that the deputy had exc
cubed the warrant until he was informed
that he mad been arrested and was
in Jail. Harris acknowledges that he had
pistol, but he carried it on his belt where
he had right to carry it. He said that he
was United State officer aud was about
to make an arrest, and the law against
carrying concealed weapons did not apply
to him. The question was asked the COM
missioner if the policeman who made the
arrest Will be brought into court, and he
replied that he thought not. The party
who caused the arrest is properly the one to
be charged with obstructing lo~el process.

in various articles required to furnish such

building committee met Hr Preston, the
architect, at President Comer's house, when
plans for several special pieces of work and
for the new kitchen building were sub
ulitted. BY the advice OF Mr.. Preston, TIE
plan of adding two stories to the latter was
abandoned The architect stated that it
would interfere with the general appear
ance Of the hotel building, and Besides
would keep the air aud sunshine from the
court He wanted no dark corners either
in the building or about il.
The subject of electric lighting was also
discussed. The hotel authorities will be
kept quite busy from this time on arrang-

THE 100000 BALE MARK.
sAVANNAR'S COTTON RECEIPTS
FOR THE SEASON SO FAR.

Figures Well Up to Those OF 1898
Savannah and Galveston Running
a Close Race-Savannah's October
Receipts Expected to Be Very Heavy
The Market Dull Now.
Savannah passed the 100, 0O0-bale mark
for the season yesterday. That number
Of bales was not reached last year until
Oct. l.
While the movement Of cotton is heavy,
it does not begin to compare, with
that of the season of 1SS7-'ss, when the
receipts were extraordinarily large. Sept.
25 Of tat year the total
receipts footed up l39, 1906 bales, while the
receipts for September reached over 5000
bales, the largest ever known at this port
for the beginning Of the season.
Savannah is at present running a close
race with Galveston and it looks as IL Gal
weston will be ahead at the end
Of the year, notwithstanding Savannah
is in the lead a few thousand
bales now. This, of course, is owing to the
heavy increase in the acreage planted and
the splendid weather experienced for har-
vesting. There is no reason therefore why
GalveSton's receipts should not continue
very heavy.
Savannah's receipts are expected TO be
heavy for the month of October, judging
by the number of steam vessels which are
up for aud on their way here.
At present the markets. dull and weak, as

Buyers are compelled to turn their atten-
