Cotton In the Memphis District.

Hill, Fontalne & Co., in their circular
for September, covering the Memphis
(Tenn.) district, say:
The season on an average is twenty days later
than last season, and serious damage would re-

Mississippi, 26l4 per cent decrease; Arkansas,
252a per cent. decrease; Alabama, 2j per cent.
decrease; Tennessee, 24i2 per cent. decrease.
The average date of killing frosts in this dis
trict IS October 25, and the estimated yield az
given above is based on the belief that this
season will continue favorable. A frost earlier
than the average date would materially reduce

ToDTDE OF POTASH

1t would be very difficult to prejudice
a physician against the use of Iodide OF
Potash. Every intelligent medical stu
dent knows that Iodide of Potash is con
sidered by very high authority to be a
specific for severe blood diseases. The
only objection TO its use in simple solu-
tlons is that it deranges the stomach and
ehects the kidneys. Certainly it's pro-
ionged use in simple solution would do
more harm than good, and for this rea-
son many physicians recommend it ta-
ken with DR.. John Bulls Sarsaparilla.
When thus taken it leaves no evil after

LARRY's LATEST BREAK.

Ryan.
ATLANTA, Feby. 15.-Larry Gannt to
the rescue!
That expresses the latest phase of the
noted Ryan case. Editor Gannt, when
he was doing editorial work on the ALI
ance Farmer, spent good deal of space
in Steve Ryan's behalf and throwing mud
at the various newspapers in the state
who did not coincide with his cratic
ideas.
Since retiring to the seclusion of Wat
kinsville he has conceived an ambition
to go to congress from the Eighth dis
trict. And now in order to prevent the
people from forgetting him entirely he
has conceived the ridiculous idea of get
ting Steve Ryan released from Fulton
county Jail, where he was sent for con-
tempt of court several months ago be-
cause he refused to tell what he had
done with money that belonged to other
people, when his big dry goods house
failed. Larry evidently wants to pos
as hero, or leader, or something like
that for he has issued the following cir
cular to the various sub-alliances
throughout the state
ITO THE ALLIANCEMEN OF GEORGIA.
''WATKINsvILLE, Ca, Feb. 2.-There
now languishes in the Fulton county jail
Mr.. Stephen A. Ryan, young man
whose only crime is that he has not the
means to pay the debts demanded by the
courts. Mr.. Ryan is a victim of that
barbarous and brutal law-we thought
wiped from the statute books of the
state of Georgia-imprisonment for debt.
His fate today may be your fate tomor-
row. Steve Ryan is the first martyr, but
unless the people rise in their majesty
and place the brand of condemnation up
on this ruling of our courts of law, a fell
on's cell awaits every debtor in Georgia
''Now, will call upon every freedom
Georgian, who is opposed to the re-enact-
ment of this outrageous law, to at once
sign and send petition to Governor
Northen expressing their condemnation
of this ruling by our courts, and asking
that he at once release Mr.. Ryan from
prison, as our governor is the only pow
Ell that can now save him. Lose no time,
brethren, in signing your petitions. For
ward them to me at Watkinsville, Ca,
and they will be promptly presented
Remember that you are not doing this
for Steve Ryan, but to rebuke dreadful
precedent that is forging letters for the
thousands of poor debtors in Georgia for
whom our jails ace gaping unless they
get relief. Act promptly, for the petit.
tons should be in by March 1. Call
your alliance together and get to the Pc
tition every signature you can. Yours
fraternally, T. L. CAN'T"
The unique ex-editor thinks the circu-
lar will result in petitions from 100, 1000
people, which, presented to Governor
Northen, will induce him to release Ry-
an, if for nothing else, for political effect.

ALL FOR THE LIGHT.
More Stock and More Interest
in the New Company.
FOR A SITE THAT WILL
BE CONVENIENT TO WATER AND
FUEL FOR THE PLANT-THE OLD
COMPANY REMOVING ITS STOCK.

The members and stockholders of the
new electric light company continue to
push the project with unabated vigor.
At the meeting on Monday evening ii
committee was appointed to see Messrs.
Birkbeck, Markle and Coke for the
purpose of buying land that would be
suitable for site. The company wishes
to have the building convenient to the
railroad, in order to avoid the necessity
of hauling fuel any considerable distance,
and also where water can be procured
as cheaply as possible. The amount of
stock subscribed has now reached $12,-
100, and the books are still open for
additional subscriptions. There is no
difficulty in disposing of shares, but the
organizers wish to give all fair
opportunity to procure some, thus
making the company one in which every
citizen can take an interest.
A communication was read at the
meeting from the Thompson H custom
Company, of Philadelphia. This firm
and offers to erect a satisfactory building
and put in first-class plant for ST., ,5l5
The offer, together with several other
communication regarding machinery,
etc., was laid over.
The Freeland Gas Company, the name
under which business was done by the
former electric light company, began on
Tuesday to remove some of its machin-
cry and material from the building on
Washington Street. This was venture
that cost money, and the parties compos-
ing the company will certainly profit by
their experience in the electric business
here. They made several Intellectual at
tempts to sell their plant to the new
company, but the latter does not propose
to deal in old tin or anything of that
sort. They intend to give the business
men and people here light and service
that will not only be credit to them
selves, but also credit to the town.
The company is not making any rash
promises that it will have electric lights
here next week or next month, but it is
moving along quietly and laying for it.
self foundation that will be solid and
worth standing upon. The conservatism
of the members, who are counting upon
the cost of everything before taking any
decided action, is good point in their
favor.
There are certain drawbacks regarding
the site for the plant, which, if over
come, will result in an immense saving
to the company, and it is expected that
these will be removed soon. The gen.
tlemen interested in the matter are
known to have the welfare of the town
at heart, and they may be relied upon
to overcome any difficulties which will
come in the way of progress. 1t is ex-
pected that the company will be in
readiness to commence work within a
few weeks, and when once started it
will be pushed as rapidly as possible
The rates will be made as reasonable as
can be afforded, and it is hoped that
every business place in town will be
illuminated with the electric light
When this improvement is made Free
land will again take its place as the
leader of the coal region towns.

1t must be evident to even the most
casual reader of the reports of the ac-
tions and methods of the managers of
the "new deal' in anthracite that they
are sharp business men, intent on getting
ont of the business they are engaged in
every cent which can be had. They are
by no means philanthropists and we do
not know that they are posing as such to
any extent. In order to attain the end
in view stoppages of production are
ordered for certain number of days
each week; they also marked up the
prices of coal in certain markets; there
are economies practiced of every nature
and description in the way of discharges
of employees of the various grades in the
several branches.
All this is, of course, with but one
intention, and those who buy coal for
consumption or to retain will do well to
carefully watch the several moves which
are being made. The price of anthracite
coal is to be higher than has been the
case for some time past.
The leasing of collieries by the parties
to the new deal so as to secure the out
put of certain individual operators for a
term of years gives some security to the
new powers that be against the cutting
of rates, and it also quiets the individual
on the question as to what is a fair and
equitable rate of toll to be charged for
carrying anthracite coal.
With an average price but ten cents a
ton better than was the result of the
price received for the sales at the tide
during the last six months of 1891
coal, the result to the acquiescing oper-
ator by the terms offered and agreed
upon would be forty cents ton more
than he obtained previously, as the tolls
on the percentage plan are far less than
the old fixed rate. There is an immense
profit, however, under the new deal on
the whole traffic, so that the chances for
earning the increased dividends are
much improved.
