Mrs. Mary Oden created a scene in Judge
Lows court yesterday morning. 1t was during
the hearing of the case of Mrs. Gilley. charged
with disturbing the peace, that Mrs. Oden
became SO belligerent as to slap the face of
Attorney Treadwell. Mrs Oden was on the
stand being subjected TO severe cross-examin-

offending attorney and give him two resound-
Ing siaps on the right jaw. Mrs. Oden was
promptly told that she was in contempt of

glzed and promised to do SO no more.

Mayor Pingree was received like a con-
quering hero on his return to Detroit last
evening from the republican convention at
Grand Rapids. He was escorted to the city
hall by a procession of a thousand men, his
carriage being drawn by long line of ad-
miring citizens. The parade halted before
the Pingree & Smith shoe factory on Jeffer-
son avenue, and the gubernatorial candi-
date was showered with bouquets thrown
from third-story balcony by the factory
girls in his firms employ. The mayor was
more visibly affected by these tokens of re-
lie occasion. and could not conceal his emo
ton. The procession moved on to the Cam

Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan were allotted the
drawing room of the Pullman coach, every
section of which was occupied.

Mr.. Bryan himself left Nebraska for New

marked his political career. He feels some
anxiety about the reception which his
speech will meet, yet his confidence that it
will be success overweighs his doubts.
His friends in Nebraska look to it for a
reflex influence which will strengthen free
silver in the west, and Offset the effect of
the trip which Major Mckinley is expected
to make through Nebraska. Should Bryan 8
speech disappoint expectations, or should
his reception in the east not be what has
been anticipated the result will unquestion-
ably be unfavorable to the free silver cam

cooperate with the committee in en-
couraging and promoting the culture of
tobacco, cotton, canaigre and other crops
heretofore overlooked as a consequence
of the universal orange craze.
Unfortunately the farmers have not
shown the general interest the situation
demands, and comparatively few of them
have attended the meetings called prin-
cipally for their good. However, few
attended, and they, with the committee
and goodly number of citizens Judi
rectly interested, discussed ways and
means by which those who desired in

above mentioned crops might secure
that inform alton and seed for planting.
It now remains for the farmers to do the

Sea Island Cotton.

We recently referred in these columns
to the small area of lands along the
South Atlantic coast adapted to the rails
ing of fine grade cotton, and that it
would be profitable to raise the plant for
even the seed, to say nothing about the
lint, as the farmers in the interior were
compelled to get fresh seed every few
years from the islands, in order to keep
up the fiueness of the staple. We notice
that the Brunswick Times Advertiser
has also called attention to the question
of planting sea island cotton.
Bruins wick is about forty miles north
of Amelia Island, and what our neigh
Dor says of Glynn county is equally
adaptable to Nassau county. The Times
Advertiser says
If there is anything that should In
terest the people at this time it is the
story of how cotton planting may be
made 20 pay the largest interest. The
Times Advertiser boldly asserts, right
now, that the best cotton land in the
state is in Gym county,
The proof of it is IN these facts. It is
the only true sea island cotton area in
the state.
The same labor will make as many
bales of sea island cotton on Glynn
county lands as is grown of the short sta
pie inland. The Glynn county sea island
cotton is worth from 30 to Is cents a
pound.
There is not land enough in the South
that will grow sea island cotton to break
the fancy prices that it commands. The
art IN textiles is increasing its demand.
It's silken threads are warped into seven
tenths of the silk that is woven. There
is not a fancy fabric worn by woman
that does not create demand for it. and
except the few thousand acres of South
Carolina islands, the peninsular of Glynn
stand as the only accredited producer of
| true sea island cotton.

in the state, and, for one hunrded miles
