Death of an Ettrick Lady-Return
of DIR. ROsebro.

PETERSBURG. VA. August 22-(spe-
ciaL)-Miss Lottie Isabel Nugent. a
charming young lady OF Etrick, eldest
daughter of Mr.. Samuel Nugent. died this
morning; aged q years. She was de-
voted church woman. and for some years
had acted as organist at the Methodist
church In Ettrick.
Rev. DIR. J. w. Rosebro. pastor OF Tabb-
Street Presbyterian church, returned
home to-day, after a three-months' So
journ abroad. He Is looking remarkably
well. and says he enjoyed his trip more
than words can describe. He was heartily
welcomed back by his congregation. Dr.
Rosebro attended the Pan-Presbyterian
Council, and travelled much through
England and Scotland on his bicycle. He
will occupy his pulpit tomorrow.

From the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
Uncle Sam Is a liberal contributor to the
campaign fund this year. Few people
realize how liberal this patriotic person.
age is in this matter. His direct contri-
button this year is something over 81, 400
COO. This is very moderate estimate.
The fact that no accounts are kept makes
it impossible to ascertain the exact
amount. This amount covers the more di-
rect contribution and does not take into
account that which is done Indirectly
According to the very lowest estimate,
the two parties, through their distribut-
ing agencies, have sent out 10000, 900 pieces
of literature under congressional frank
The probability is that this estimate is
altogether too low. Mr.. Hanna has sta
ted that the republican committees have
distributed 6OO,OO0,OOO documents. The
democrats have not distributed anything
like as many, but their number is unus-
ually high. 1t is likely that at least a
third of all the documents sent out were
parts of the Congressional Record and
were sent under frank, free of postage
These documents are sealed in envelopes
and would be subject to letter postage IL
not sent free The average postage would
be cents or more per piece. Taking the
low estimate of 4OOOO, 900 documents. the
postage would amount to 100000.
This is one item. There is a good deal
besides that Uncle Sam does.
The printing Of documents is paid for
by the committees, but to very large ex-
tent they are saved the cost of compost
ton on speeches and congressional docu-
ments through the use of stereotype plates
made at government expense for the Con-
gressional Record. How much this gov
eminent contribution amounts to IL would
be difficult to calculate. II is not n direct
expense to the government. In addition
to the parts of the Congressional Record
which so through the mails free under
frank, there are many documents from
the departments which so free as official
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-11-08

in the correctness Of any such estimate,
Notwithstanding the heavy movement we
are now facing. We cannot believe that
the receipts for the last of the season will
equal those for the corresponding period
of last season; but even If they should be
the same, the crop would still be
less than 100000 bales. The average
weight of the bales, too, is several pounds
less than in 1894 and 1895. Spinners every
where are narrowly watching the crop de-
velopments and unless there should be in
dicatons OF a much larger yield than
100000 or even $4,000 bales, it is gen.
orally conceded that prices viii go higher.
To our mind, the most serious menace to
the market at the moment is there are al
together too many bulls waiting to sell
out their holdings at a profit, and who, II
they cannot get profit, will presently get
tired and unload at a loss irrespective of
what the market may hereafter do. No
matter what the intrinsic merits of cot
ton may be, every trader knows that the
first effect of this general unloading pro-
cess is to cause sharp and accelerating
decline. Having In view the danger OF
such a slump we are inclined to advise
our friends not to be carried away by bull
enthusiasm, but, upon any hardening in
values, TO sell their holdings. We think
chances are that they will be able to re-
place them at lower prices but everything
Will depend upon the receipts"
New York, Nov. THE Sun says of cot
ton: Receipts at New Orleans Monday
are estimated al 14000 to 5000 bales.
against 1O472 bales last week and L, 800
bales last year. Houston expects on Mon
day 1850 to $500 bales, against 1852 bales
last week, and 6,6l5 bales last year. In
New Orleans January declined 2 points,
but recovered and this advanced points.

men. The River spinning mills and the Sla-
tersville cotton mills at North Smthheld
will run on full time Monday and thereaf-
ter.
Northern spinners have taken thus far
this season AIS 203 bales, against 463, 251 last
season. To-day futures here opened to 5
points lower, recovered the loss on most
months, but later reacted and closed quiet
and steady at a net decline of to points
THE speculation to-day was quiet and
featureless and of the usual Saturday half
holiday character. At the opening, prices
declined slightly. The Liverpool market
was lower and some selling orders were
received from that market, but in the alb
sence of any decided selling pressure for !
local account prices rallied on predictions !
of colder weather and frosts in South Car !

ranging from $4,000 to 100000 bales"
