9 o'clock the cotton acreage convention

He represents the Texas alliance. The dis
custom will relate to the reduction of the
acreage in cotton and generally upon the
handling and classification of cotton, pick-

a Belief That He Was Ssndbagged
and Robbed.
KANKAKEE, ILL. Sept. IA strange
case of loss of memory is reported from the
county hospital. On Thursday young
man, about 30 years Of age, was picked up
by an officer and turned over TO the county
authorities. He could remember that his
home was ten miles south of Aberdeen,
Miss, but he could not remember his name,
nor could he REMAINDER where he had been
since Sept. l. On that day he left his
fathers house with over 300 10 pay of
some colored hands who were working on
the plantation. He also had a
fine gold watch on his person. Both the
watch and money have disappeared. He
can recall his fathers first name and says it
is David B. B., but beyond that his mind is
blank. He is well dressed and has every APP
Pearance.of belonging to tirst-olasss outh g
ern family. He complains of pains in the
back of his bead and neck aud it is the gen.
eral belief Of all those who he talked with
that he has been sandbagged and sent north
by negroes who knew he had the money.
