to The World from Montgomery, Ala,
says:
The latest action Of the Farmers Al

tional. Resolutions have been passed
declaring that tine price of cotton Is too
low, and each man pledges himself to
hold his crop until better prices are as
sured. The alliances of aii tine cotton
growing states are invited to participate
in this movement. The crusade for
better prices started in the "Black belt"
which produces two-thirds of Alabama's
cotton, and it bids fair to assume for
midable shape i'll the next few days.
The alliances are now making the neces-
sary financial arrangements to enable
them to hold their crop.

SANTA CRUZ, Dec. 22.-James Harris. a
wood-chopper, was shot and instantly
killed this afternoon in saloon in this city
by Robert II. Majors, who also received
three wounds, one of which is likely to
prove fatal. A petty quarrel had existed be-
tween the men for some time and Harris
had threatened TO shoot Majors. The parties
met in saloon to-day. Harris was drunk,
very noisy, quarrelsome and abusive to Ma
jors. lie had pistol in his coat-pocket and
fired at Majors through the pocket of his
coat without Withdrawing the weapon. Ma
jors is peaceable man, but bold and in
trepd. He reached for his pistol with one
hand and with the ether parted the arm of
Harris, directing his aim downward. Be-
fore Majors could draw his pistol Harris
had fired three shots, each taking effect
upon Majors, one making flesh wound in
the leg, one entering the hip and one the
groin. Majors is o crack shot, and his wea-
pom was scarcely in his hand before he sent
a fatal shot to Harris heart. Harris was
single man, about 90 years of age, and had
worked in the redwoodS about here since
early days. He was considered bad man
when drunk, and all bystanders agree that
he was the agressor and very bitter toward
Majors. r. II. Majors is native of Santa
Cruz and the son of one of the earliest pio-
neers, who came here about 1880 For sew
eral years he has been foreman at the
bituminous rock mines. He never provoked
n quarrel nor turned his back on foe.
When assisting the Sheriff, several years
since. he killed one OF the notorious Vas
qutz gang, and has a local reputation of be-
ing a dead shot.

The production of this war drama, written
by Mr.. George I. Ulmer, at the Grand OPP
era House, last evening, was marked by
large attendance, and so miscellaneous in
its character that it was evident the assem-
blage had been drawn from all classes of our
citizens. We do not feel disposed to enter
on criticism OF The Volunteer" as it
was the first Offering of an untried
play. AS it will run through Christ

be afforded for this purpose. Suffice it to
say that the military features were in

He takes the three In one hand, throws
them up in the air, catches the fork
