Mrs. Thomas A. McCarley, formerly of
Seneca, committed suicide at the home
sof her husband in Laurens county last
Sunday by hanging herself in a closet
with a piece 0 f.cotton cloth about three
wide. a correspondent of the
Neus gives the following
account of the. sad event: Previous to
the suicide Mrs. McCarley called her lit
tile s:x-yase-old daughter in the room
where she cas-, and, taking the child in
sher arms, told the child II lay her arps
her neck and kiss her, and then
gaTe:her full directions as to where her
clothes were. The child, suspecting
what her mothers intentions were; COM
menced a close watch of her actions to
prevent her.frcm taking her life if pos
sible, but the child soon forgotitand was
in the yard playing. Thinking :of. her
mother, she ran in the house, but it was
too late. The mother was already dead.
The family was at home as usual. Mrs.
McCarley has attempted to take her life
twice before. She was about forty years
old and a member of the Presbyterian
church. She had been in Ill health for
some time and at intervals had been trou-
bled with mental alteration. Mr.. Nc

he had expected it for some time.

GLASGOW, KY, April 12.-Henry Rag
land, colored, was placed on trial SaIur-
day for car breaking. He was one OF
many colored men induced to go to work
on a railroad in the Adirondacks, where
he claims a brother was murdered and
he was brutally beaten. Ragland had
scarcely pleaded to the charge when he
began to foam and bark. He was seized
with spasms, and his yells were horrible.
He attempted to bite the Judge and 9TH
ers and caused a panic in the Court room.
He was not tried, and will die soon. Rag
land, it was subsequently learned, was
bitten by a rabid dog last August.

WASHINGTON, y. c., April 1.-THE fol-
lowing is officially furnished at the
Department of Agriculture: "The cotton
acreage reported by the eleventh census
for 1889 is compared with the official and
commercial estimates. The census area
is $685. 600 acres. The statistical return
of that year made the breadth 100000
acres, which is $40 per cent less than
the census figures. Latham & Alexan-
der's estimate was 19,979,00O acres, or
2 ITO per cent above the census. The
Financial Chronicle estimate was 20,309,-
$50, or 3 $40 per cent above the census
statement. The Department estimate is
the lowest and also the nearest to the
census. The commercial estimates come
from dealers and are high, while the
growers, though urged to be accurate,
are slightly conservative in their own
interests. This sustains the Depart
ment's COZ .ention that its estimates are
not exaggerated and cannot injure the
farmers"

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 12.-Rain
has set in again and much more damage
willbe done by floods. No trains have
run to Memphis over the Kansas City,
Memphis and Birmingham Road for a
week. In one place the road is washed
out for half a mile, and trains cannot be
run for many days yet. In Marion county
large iron bridges. across the creeks and
bridges were swept away.
Near Pearson's Mil, John Livingston
and two children, while crossing the
creek in a wagon, were swept away and
drowned. Eight miles South of Carbon
Hill two women were drowned.
A man from Columbus, Miss. says
twenty-five families are believed to have
persisted by the floods around that place.
Near Greenwood 1920 feet of tAe Geor-
gia Pacific track was washed away.
At Gadsden, Ala, the Coosa River is
forty feet above low water mark, and

JACKSON, Mss, April 12.-The first
through train of the Illinois Central for
a week passed here to-day. All Che
breaks are reported to have been repaired.
Northwestern Mississippi is in a terrible
condition. Hundreds of negroes are
homeless and without anything to eat.
Along the river bottoms all the work
they have done toward putting in a crop
has been swept away, together with
fences and much stock. Sevcnty-five
negroes are known to have been drowned.
and many will De found dead when the
waters subside. The greatest loss Of
life and injury to property is along the
line of the Tombigbee River. 1t is not
large enough in the dry season to float a
small steamboat, but to-day it is ten
miles wide. In many instances so rap
idly did the liver rise that small cabins
were swept from the face of the earth
and whole families with them.

The cotton market has shown decided strength since our report of a week ago,
the net advance being 20 to % points from last Fridays prices
The week opened with the startling Jews of the New Orleans fire, vl:"t caused
an advance of some 10 points, lost almost Is Immediately as more reliable news OF
the quantity of cotton burnt was received. Since then the chief point OF interest
has been the crop movement. We arc able Tor third week in succession to report
smaller receipts than fr the corresponding weeks of last year. and W e must confess
that our belief n crop of 9N0N0or over has been rather shaken by these figures.
We still believe that there is enough cotton in the country to reach the above limit,
but we will say canddly that If we have light receipts two weeks longer we shall
lower our crop estimates.
AS illustrating the difficulty of arriving at correct conclusions, we copy the fol
lowing from recent circulars of Messrs. Atwood, Violet IL Co, Of New Orleans:
Mount PLEASANT. TExAs-There is lot more than ) per cent Of crop still to
forward in Eastern Texas and Northern Louisiana: crop prospects bad; out
look for large crop gloomy: estimate of crop SS5o0pD; planting fully &c per cent
less than last year.
NAvAsoTA. TExAs-Cotton in farmers hands in Texas. $4,000 ito 100000, and
no telling how much in warehouses: n decrease in acreage: new land taken
again this ear; crop and pnceso of 92M3 will not be reduced any more than was
that of 9l92.

much behind.
RALEIGH, y. C-Lots OF cotton in the country, and as for talk O reduction OF
til all humbug: There will be just as much cotton as last year.
These ae samples of the conflicting news that reaches us and makes 1t difficult
to orm a correct idea of the situation. On the whole, and while arenewalo OF heavy
receipts would cause a fresh decline in prices. W e would rather advise purchases
