enf Term of Court.

twenty-four hours. returning twice TO the
court TO be recharged. and keeping the
entire city on the qui vive of expectation
since going out, the now locally famous
Cunningham jury returned 10 the court
at adjOurning hour tonight, and announc-
ed that they could not agree, four being
for acquittal, and mistrial was declared,
the jury was discharged until the second
Monday in January, and court adjourned
for the holidays. This again puts the
whole city TO Specializing as TO the final
outcome. Tonight Judge Sweat stated to
the Morning News correspondent that I'M
der the law the cases against eX-Cashier
Cunningham and all the indicted officials
of the Brunswick State Bank would have
to be disposed of in some way before this
sessions final adjournment, and the queS-
ton that viii agitate those most inter
ested for weeks vet will be what final dis
position VIII be made of the indictments.
1t is a complicated case involving more
men of prominence and more capital than
any ever heretofore before a Glynn county
The court room at the closing hour was
a scene of compliments, sensations and
pathos. The grand jury's presentments
complimented all the court officials and
laid stress on County Commissioner
ty 5000 this year, for which his salary
was raised 5000 The pathos came in tho
sentences of negro criminals when aged
parents of some were sincere in their la
mentations and grief over the downfall
and conviction of their sons, while the SEN
sation came as grand finale as the prlS-
oners were being conducted out OF the
room jail bound, an explosion of wrath
and invective from Madison Scarlet, Jr.,
sentenced TO one year for larceny. He
turned on the court, jury and officials,
demanded better treatment from his Jail
ers; cursed things out generally and
wound up by threatening to return when
his sentence was out and kill all who
participated in his capture ana convic
ton. Judge Sweat had already given him
the limit, so calmly ordered Scarlett
placed in irons and fed on bread and
water until called for. Jinks Williams;
another negro, then tried about the same
trick, but was soon quoted. At the jail
Scarlet caused much trouble, but was
finally chained down.
Lee Bell the negro who had made
murderous assault on Section Master
Christopher Tuesday night, was indict-
ed. tried and convicted, and to-day SEN
fenced to ten years.

SEA ISLAND COTTON.
The Staple Not as short as Was Sup
posed i'm IoxxudeS County.

DoHtO IN LOW tounNys
Valdosta, Ca, Dec. 2O-The belief mas
been general through this section that
the bulk of the sea island cotton has al
ready been marketed. but the receipts
here for the past fifteen days indicate
that a great deal is yet held back. The
receipts here for December are greater
than for the same month last year. and
last year was the best year on record for
TINS city. Long staple cotton is coming
in at the rate of 100 bales a day, and the
quality is nigh, bringing as much as II
cents 10 Is cents a pound. The staple
grown about ValdOsta is very high
grade, due probably to climatic condi-
lions, as well as to a low, fiat section be-
tween the Alapaha and WithlocOOchee
rivers, which the cotton men claim is
better adapted to the growth Of long sta
pie than any other inland section in the
country. Naldosta cotton In the mar
kets always bring higher prices on this
account. The receipts here will be nearly
as large as last year, despite the fact that
the claim Is made that the crop is short
IN this territory of nearly 30 per cent.
Inc sale of land in Florida by the GeOr-

ADJUSTMENTS

Saturday and last night at the CIunie
Opera house witnessed the largest audj-
ences ever packed into that theater. The
attraction was d. X. Higgins new play
Jack Rose of Tennessee" 4 success
throughout the week, its last nights were
the largest and most enthusiastic Of all.
a better play has not been produced here
by a California author and few as good.
1t has merits OF thought, situation, plot.
sentiment, and wholesome truth that
put 1t well above the ordinary and give il
nigh value. " lille it has been well
played throughout by the stock company.
which at the same time was STUDYING
other plays and drilling its few people on
variety of parts, we can fancy how
much more important a place the
new play would have il it wero
in the hands of specially selected
company OF artists. each member
chosen Tor special fitness Tor his and her
part, aud the company thus selected hav-
ing no other work TO DO than TO produce
this piece. 1t is because OF this selection
and devotion to one thing that less
merltorious plays have achieved SUCH
success under the Daily, Frohman and
similar administrations. This is not said
in disparagment OF the Higgins Wal
dron troupe; no other stock company,
perhaps, could have better presented the
drama, and lis membership is strong in
ability and resource; but stock COM
pany IS chosen for versatile and general
capacity rather than strong individual
ability. 4 picked troupe Tor such q play
as this or Alabama" or The Wife"
might be unequal to holding up it's task
to the level Of acceptance; if worked as is
the stock company al the opera-house.
1t would probably not be equal to the
varied calls upon the opera-house troupe.
Frederick Warde, the tragedian, who
has many warm friends here, lectured in
San Francisco last week for a charity, his
subject being The Plays of Shakes
peare." His audience was composed of
women, and they filled the largest hall in
the city, and very many were unable to
get even standing room or inside tue
doors. So successful was Warde in his
lecture that the women showered bou-
! quets upon him, and fairly put him to the
