Woods, Garnet & Co. yesterday re-
ceived advices of the shipment Of ten bale:
of new cotton which viii arrive to-day
This will be the largest shipment OF ne"
cotton received at this port this season, only
| five bales having been previously received.
| Reports Of the receipts OF "nrst bales
! are coming in from the various cities and
/ towns of the state. COLUMBUS received lbs
| first bale Saturday. II weighed 5SS pounds,
! and s0II for cents. Augusta received
its fTst bale Monday, and quite jubilee
was Tnada over it on Cotton Row" 1t was

! Cso-gia chemical works. Manager J.
Pica Smith auctioaed it of in the following
| lively style.
"Ne,icanr man, ami the English buyers made

ures rose, as Capt. smith smlled from one

the former bid 10 cents. Sam Weissiger
called out:
LET us beat Savannah.
"Ten and ons-eighth," said Butt.
This ended is, and after little more talk
ali were done, and Capt. Smith knocked
down the first bale to "the gentleman from
Liverpool"
Reports recsived by the cotton factors
here indicate that the crop is about two
weeks late, aud that the prospects are that
new cotton will move very slowly.
The rainy weather is retarding the har
vesting, and the low price Of cotton is no
inducement TO the farmers 70 hurry 1t to
market Last August the receipts of the
first week were 1855 bales. second
week, 204, third week. 1887,
fourth week 12,1Ol bales. AS there
was very little old cotton left in the ooun-
try, most Of this was new cotton. II there
is no new cotton, however. there is plenty
of old cotton coming 10. The receipts last
week were 1861 bales compared with 1856
last year. Mondays receipts were POI bales
and yesterdays forty-flve bales.
Some Of the most experienced cotton men
Of Savannah are of the opinion that the
port will reosive fully as much, if not more,
cotton the coming season than the season
just nearing completion, notwithstanding
1t has already surpassed all previous
records.
There Is emo ugh OF last years crop left
in the country TO make up for any deficiency
Of this years. said one factor yesterday,

ONE WIFE TOO MANY.

Boston Smells Sent to the Penitsn-
tiary for Two Years for Big amy.
Boston Smalls (colored) was convicted in
the superior court last night of bigamy. and
was sentenced by Judge Falligant to two
years in the penetentiary.
Five years ago Smalls, first wife left him
and moved to Florida. He heard from her
for some time, and finally got word that she
was married to another mao. He made up
his mind that he would 90 and do likewise.
Smalls selected likely looking mulatto
girl, and after short courtsbip. proposed
marriage. She agreed, and named Parson
Weston for the officiating clergyman; but
Smalls objected saying that Parson Weston
married him TO his first wife, whom he told
the girl was dead, aud that he didn't have
as good luck as he had anticipated. He
would rather have Parson Houston tie the
knot, aud the bride-elect consented. A
license was secured in the name of B. S.
Smalls. and the knot was tied.
Everything moved along serenely until
wife No. 2 was told that wife No. / was
not dead, but was living in Florida She
was wrathy at her spouses duplicity, and
laid the matter before Solicitor General
Fraser, who had Smalls arrested.
Both marriage certificates were put in
evidence at the trial. T. 8. Morgan, Jr.,
ESQ.,, defended Smalls, and set up the plea
of insanity for his client, claiming that be
! was weak-minded and was not aware that
he was committing a crime by marrying a
second wife while the first was still alive.
Smalls looked anything but insane, having
an intelligent looking face. Solicitor GEN
eral Fraser knocked the insanity dodge to
pieces by calling the jury's attention to the
shrewdness of Smalls in not wanting Par
son Weston to marry, him to the secon
| wife because he performed the first cere-
mony, and also to the fact that the first
marriage license was taken out in the name
of Boston Smalls, while the second read
! "B. s. Smalls"
The jury was out only about ten min
| utes,

WANT ANOTHER CHANCE.

The s. q. G. Anxious to Cross Bats
With the Q. L. A. in Charleston.
The Sacred Heart Cadets of Augusta are
not satisfied with the defeat they received
by the c. L. A. club few weeks ago. They
claim that the weedy condition OF the OUT
field Of the Bolton street grounds was re-
sponsible IN a large measure for their
defeat.
The Cadets want to play the c. l. A. on
neutral grounds, aud favor Charleston be-
cause It is the best base ball town in the
south. They say that both clubs will make
money by having game there. The Cadets
have sent challenge to this effect TO the G.
L. A. club. but the latter has not yet de-
cided whether or not to acceptit.
