both appearing at the bend two miles be-

arrival at the city froat there was hardly
one minutes time between their whistles

Washington, Sept. TO-. The cot
ton report Of the Department of
Agriculture shows decline from
the August conditions of the crop,
which was 71.9 to 10.S per cent,
decline of Il points. This makes
the lowest September condition of
the plant since 1881, when it was
reported at 20 per cent. The next
lowest since 1881 was the condi-
ton of 1898, when it stood for the
same month at 13.4. Cotton suf-
fered severely during the month Of
Angus from the drouth which char
acterized the early part of the
month, and the excessive rain
which succeeded it. The presence
Of boil worms has worked great in
jury, and the crop has been injured
by shedding and rust. The causes
mentioned by the Texas correspond
ents for the deterioration i'll the
State are as fellows: Drouth, hot
weather, foods, boil worms. There
is a striking unanimity in the pes
simistio tone adopted by correspor-
dents throughout all the cotton
raising states. The State averages
are as follows: Virginia 81, North

that the light within thc ring has
been redeemed by refraction
through the lower stratum of our
atmosphere. A 'well-detined blu
ish band, in advance OF a field Of
red light, was a feature Of the
earth's shadow as it advanced up
on the illuminated portion of the
moon, This band would indicate
some otratiiication of our atmos-
phere, if the color came from re-
fracted sunlight. 1t was in this
blush band that the western rim
shone brightly at the beginning OF
totality, and later the eastern limb,
toward the close of the total phase.
1t would seem that total eclipSeS

pose of gaining further knowledge
of the earth's atmosphere. The
phenomena of the moons eclipse
have not yet been sufficiently ex-
planned, and careful study for q Sc
ries of years is needed to deter
mine the nature Of some of the APP
pearances during totality.

W. II. Moore Convicted of Illicit
DiStilling.

Meridian, Miss, Sept. 1O.-The
first case called in the federal
court this morning was that of the
United States vs. w. H. Moore,
wherein the defendant IS charged
with the illicit distilling Of whisky.
Moore is white man, u native Of
Leake county, and was arrested in
March last year alter his still had
been raided by internal revenue
officers. From the evidence in
the case 1T is learned that the au.
thorities, being of the opinion that
! Moore was engaged in distllling
"moonshine" whisky, went to
to his house and demanded the
KEYS to his smokehouse. Moore
refused, but on being informed of
the probable effect of a persistent
refusal, gave in and surrendered
the keys, protesting, however, that
he was not distilling whisky, but
was manufacturing cotton seed OIL
Wien the officers entered the
smokehouse they found no oil Of
the kind described, but plenty Of
corn meal and several bottles Of
bug Juice of a very inferior
kind, also the pharaphernalla of a
/ still. Moore reluctantly admitted
that he manufactured the whisky,
but swore differently on the stand
yesterday. The trialof this case
consumed the entire morning, as
quite number of witnesses were
examined on either side. The de-
fendant was represented by Messrs.
Miller and Bastin, while District
Attorney R. c. Lee conducted the
prosecution. The man was con-
victed, but sentence was deferred.

When the new tari q went into
effect the advocates of Mckinley
reciprocity loudly lamented the
loss of trade which they said wonld
be sure to result from the aban.
donment of their darling policy.
They boasted especially of the ad.
vantageous reciprocity arrange
ment that had been made with
Brazil in opening market for
American products in that country.
Yet the official returns of commerce
show that since reciprocity has
been abolished the exports of the
United States to Brazil are greater
than ever before. In 1892 these
exports amounted in value to Sl4.-
29l, ,S15, in 1898 to SD, ,3SS, 124, in
1894 to Sl3, ,S66, ,O06, and in 1895

cles of nails and barbed Wire have

more than 100 per cent.
We are clearly in the presence
Of a great trade revival, and the
Southern farmer ought to reap his
share of the harvest of high prices
No country can take his place in
supplying the world with cotton.
He is not like the wheat grower.
Wherever the sun shines and the
rain falls, wheat can be grown.
The American cotton belt is sui
generis, and has no counterpart on
the earth.
The present situation is entirely
under you control. The combined
spinning capital of the world an
aggregate five times greater than
the combined wealth of the Roths-
childs.-is arrayed against you, and
under their banners march a plum
dering band of spectators and
gamblers, whose trade is to lie and
to bear false witness against the
industry of 10000, 900 of people.
The manchester Guardian boasted
last year that England did not
care if the farmer owned only the
rags he stood in, as long as Eng
land bought the cotton he pro-
duced cheap.
This guerrilla band of specula-
tors and estimaters would take
even his rags away.
Their main hope and argument
is that the South will market and
sell the bulk of its crop in four
months.
A New York circular Of Sept, 3,
says, "The bears are watching
hopefully for an increased move
ment." Such movement would be
to them the sure sign Of the reall.
zation Of their hopes. The spin
ner will then stay out of the mark.
ct until it breaks with the accu-
mulated weight of cotton, and the
speculative bear will offer more
for sale in a day than a principali

Careful observation Of the lunar
eclipse Tuesday evening tended,
saws the Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle, to show that the test
proposed to determine whether
the moon was partly Illuminated
during totally by the radiation of
absorbed sunlight was insufficient
to determine the extent and char
acter of such radiation. Fifteen
or twenty minutes after totality
the illumination Of the crescent Of
the new moon, or the moons west
ern rim, with a blush white light,
seemed to Indicate that this por.
ton, long in the SUMS rays, was
throwing of absorbed sunlight, and
was. therefore, much brighter than
the rept Of the moon, which had
received less, and was Of family
reddish, hue. At that time the
northeastern quadrant WAS com.
paratively dark. While the west
ern rim was undoubtedly brighter
than any other portion of the
moon during totality, it could not
we'll be compared with the light
which appeared on the eastern
rim toward the close of the total
phase. 1t was apparent that the
moon during totality passed
through a hollow cone of blush
white light. During the middle
of the eclipse the moon barely
touched the ring of blush hight,
and was of a reddish color. Pos,

the moon was near the middle o.
