Reputation Of the Late
Capt. Whitman.
Was Ugly in Temper and
Often Abused His Men.
Little Sympathy With His Methods
OF Running Vessel.

Georgetown, Aug. 90. Tho captain of
large three-masted schooner in the coast
wise business, who resides in town with
in few miles Of here, relates few
stories Of the career of the late Capt.
Whitman of the schooner Pecker He
declined TO have his name or that Of his
vessel used in connection with his talk.
lie SAID that tho murdered captain did
not bear the reputation of boing tho kind
hearted man that some have pictured him.
Most all of the masters OF vessels con
siderod him tricky" One of his acts
was to abuse his men when nearing port
so that they would desert the vessel He
would thus save paying them their wages
lt was owing TO some crookedness that
no was turned out of tho schooner Hattie
A. Marsh and new master by the name
of Mehaffey was put in his place. lie was
always having trouble with his crew. and
men who went one trip with him were
very careful TO avoid coming in contact
with him again. He had bad temper.
and only last spring he had some sort OF
difficulty with his owners. The captain
said that he believed when the other side
OF the story was told IL would show that
the captain was up To some kinu Of
tricks" with his men.
While the men who follow the sea arc
generally no angels, and have To Ee ruled
with firm hand. not much trouble is
found If they got what thsy know they
are entitled to- Every man "before tho
mast" does more or less growing, but
this is natural 10 him and but little at.
tention is paid to IL. They resent brutal
ity ana skin game just as any man does
ashore. Very little sympathy was felt
among masters of vessels with Can't.
Whitman's methods on board ship.

COTTON WAY UP.
Operators Buying In Large Quanti-
ties Wages Will Rise.

Atlanta. Ga. Aug 25.-The big jump
cotton has taken within the last few days
is already making itself.felt throughout
che South. Manager Fisher of the At
ianta Mills says that for some weeks past,
I'm anticipation that cotton would follow
the upward .rend ot wheat. operators
have 10 n bu; irg in laree quantities, ard
tho result rs tDat they arc stocked for
some tine to come. lie said that the ad
vance would soon be perceptiDle in the
altered prices of their products.
II the advance continues for any length
of time. wages will experience "a great
rise. The spinners say the only unpleas-
ant feature of the advance is that farmers
and cotton men may be induced to hoard
the years holdings in the belief that
prices will go still higher. and in this
way there may be some difficulty later in
the season in supplying these mills with
raw material. AT present the large stock
on hand removes this source of danger.
