his piDioned hands called out
Look at the angel. At
the right Mount Moriah and the left Boaz,
and the letter G in the center" Wallace was

Hubbard. Prics s. Co. have started a

cular, dated Sept. 10, Offering two prizes,
one of 81, 900 aud one OF $500, to the persons
or firms who shall name respectively the
nearest and next nearest to the actual pro-
duction of cotton in the United States for
the year ending Aug. 81, 1899. The figures
to be used in determining the question will
be those Of the New York Financial Chron-
icle, or if for any reaSou the Chronicle fails
to compute the crop the figures Used will be
those OF the New Orleans Cotton Exchange.
The money will be paid as soon as the
figures are made up, which will probably be
about Sept 10. 1892 In the event two or
more persons name the same figures or
come equally near TO the correct total, the
winner will be selected Ly lot. Tho esti~
mate will be made and sent on 30 as to

THE CROWD AT THE JAIL.

The Streets Thronged With People.
Only Ofacsrs Admitted.
Morea Kitchen was the fret man hanged
in the jail. and il he had had his wishes
granted he wouldn't have been hanged
there. He was anxious for public execu-
ton 30 that he could die hero's death, as
most negro murderers feel ID to be. He
announced this wish about two weeks ago,
but as the sentence had been for a private
execution his desire couldn't be gratlAed.
Although it was announced that no one
besides the court officers and representatives
OF the press would be allowed TO witness the
execution, Sheriff Roman was besieged up to
the hour Of the hanging with application
for permission TO witness the last tragic act
In the life of Kitchen. 1t was without
avail, though, for each applicant met with
a courteous but prompt and decided re-
fusal
TIE GUARD AT THE GATE.
Deputy Sheriff Higgins had charge Of the
gate, and held in his hand list of those en-
titled TO admis and none whose names
were not on the list could get in. Several
parties offered to pay neat fee to be
allowed to enter. but the deputy had his
orders and was obdurate.
As early as o'clock the negroes began to
gather on Habersham street, in front Of the
jail. and at the hour for the execution the
street from McDonough to Liberty was
sea of black faces. Women made up the
majority, and they talked excitedly over
Kitchens crimes and approved the fate de-
creed by the law. Not a thing could bs
seen from outside of the jail, but still the
fact of being able to look at the big barred
windows aud the knowledge that hanging
was taking place inside seemed to satisfy
them.
CHASED AFTER THE COFFIN.
When the wagon with Kitchens coffin
drove up Habersham street the crowd ran
yelling after it up TO the gates Of the jail
yard. The scene was repeated when the
coffin came out with the murderer's body,
and it was with digiculty that the police
made way for the wagon to pass.
The hanging of Kitchen shows the neces-
sity for Increasing the depth of the galows
room. Had the condemned man been two
inches taller there would probably have
been terrible scene Ia the cell, for his feet
would have struck squarely upon the floor.
As It was, Kitchens feet were barely two
inches clear. 1t would be a practical impos-
sibility TO hang six-foot man in the cell.
Sheriff Roman will, it is understood, call the
attention of the county commissioners TO
the matter and recommend that the floor be
lowered three or four feet.

1.-THE Central railroad will bring l,00O,-
600 bales Of cotton to Savannah this year"
said a Central railroad man yesterday, "if
the Cop is as large as it is thought e. be.
We brought $50, 900 last year and this year
IL will go TO million. You see last year che
Richmond aud Danville was pulling against
the Central and carrying all the cotton it
could away from it. This year it will bring
all it can to the Central Savannah now
has direct connection with Memphis over
the Richmond Terminal lines and will have
the same advantages that West Point has.
The Richmond Terminal can carry ocean
freight to either Savannah or West Point
entirely over its own lines now and the dis
lance is about the same. As the Richmond
Terminal controls its own steamship line
from Savannah to New York and only has
half interest in the West Point line, it
will naturally be to their interests TO favor
the Savannah line. l am willing to bet
that the Central will bring 10000 more
bales of cotton into Savannah this yeor
than last"

1t is hardly believed any longer that this
years crop will equal last years The cot
ton is opening rapidly and being pushed to
market, but a warm, dry October and
sharp frosts in November will finish the
crop. Last year picking went on until
after Christmas, but it will hardly be that
way again soon.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1891-09-19

The fac weather OF the last week which has
prevailed throughout the entire south has
caused the cotton to mature very rapidly,
and is responsible for the heavy increase in
port receipts. The fields are white now and
picking, ginning and marketing are going
ahead rapidly. The general opinion among
cotton men is that the bulk OF the crop will
be harvested by the latter part Of October,
and that it will be rapidly
pushed to mlrket. The experience of the
farmers last year by which they suffered so
heavily in holding their cotton, has caused
them to give up all thought of holding this
year and the crop will como upon the mar
ket rapidly. The result will be that the re-
ceipts during September and October will
about equal last years, but the probability
Is that there will be big drop after that.

The receipts of sea island cotton during
the year just closed were over IS, 900 bales,
the largest crop ever raised, exceeding the
crop of the previous year about 81 600 bales.
The crop was larger than the market would
take and the result was that the good prices
prevailing at the opening of last season
went down rapidly. There is still a surplus
estimated at 20, 00J bales left on the market
unconsumed which has very depressing
effect upon prices.
