THE COTTON CROP,
Some Interesting Facts About the
Great Staple.

The opening Of the cotton season this
year finds the crop about three weeks
late, and reports Of large damage to the
plant as the result Of excessive rainfall
in August and the first ten days Of Sep
tember are very general. Careful in
quiry shows that the damage is over
estimated, and that large crop may
be expected. Neill's estimate Of some
time ago was 1000, 900 bales or more
for the American crop, and this re-
fected the consensus of opinion, but
after the rains of dog days the esti-
mates Of damage ran all the way to 20
per cent. The damage from rains is
generally considered worse in Georgia
and adjoining states than elsewhere,
and rust, shedding and rotting of bolls,
have been very generally reported.
Much depends on the weather from
this time to the end of the picking
season. If there is an open fall. with
light frost: the crop will surprise those
who have been figuring on large dam
age. On the contrary, if the weather
between now and the first of November
should not be favorable to the opening
OF the bolls and the maturing of the top
crops, and the frosts should come early
the yield would be much smaller. The
market is now suffering from the weight
Of large visible supply, combined
with the rapid marketing of cotton in
Texas. As compared with other years
the visible supply is as follows:
1898 ............... ..........1, 579, 600
1897 ................1,0 ,090, 900
1870. 6............... 80. 4l4, 900
1895 ................. 2,254, 600
1t is half million bales larger than
that of last year, 105, 200 greater than
that Of 1896, and about three quarters
Of a million less than the enormous
surplus carried over in September, 1895.
The worlds consumption of cotton
has about kept pace with the enormous
increase in the crops. For the six years
ending September 1st, 1896, the aver
age worlds crop was 9, ,799, 900; and the
average worlds consumption, exclusive
of India, was 9; 532, 600, a difference of
only per cent. In 1867 the con-
sumption exceeded the supply by 274,-
600.
The steady increase in the worlds
consumption of cotton is shown by the
following table compiled by the Finan-
cial Chronicle.

We have been told that money is so
plenty in Kansas that the bankers are
in despair because they can loan no
money. How is it, then, says The Salt
Lake Tribune, that the great Kansas
Loan and Trust company has just
failed? Was it because it could not
loan its money? Or was it because
where it had loaned ~ per cent. CT the
supposed value of property, when it
came to a show down, the property
would not bring the ~ per cent? Has

or IS it falling?

Tuesday morning Sheriff w. Perry
Leeand Deputy Sheriff Jacob s. Mey
ers had hot, though short, chase af-
ter a man wanted by State authori-
ties for selling liquor without a
license. His name is John Butts and
it is alleged that he conducted speak
easy at point on the Maryland side
of the river between German and
Nealtown. He was indicted at thelast
term of the Circuit Court for this al
legged offense and the papers put in
Sheriff Lees hands for execution.
He, in company with his deputy,
went to Butts house before daylight
on the morning in question. The
sheriff, after stationing his deputy at
APPOINT near the river where Butts was
accustomed to cross it, knocked at
the door but instead of receiving an
immediate answer he heard foot
steps inside and in very few minutes
a door was opened on the opposite
side of the house and Butts was seen
going toward the river at a rapid rate,
very scantily clothed. The sheriff
gave chase but before he reached his
man Deputy Meyers had him collared
and he was brought to Oakland and
placed in Jail where he will remain
until his case can be disposed of at
the March term of court.

discussing and formulating ways and
! means to secure the location of the
PROPOSED new State Normal School in
Oakland.
Mr. Scott 7. Jones was called to
the cdhair and Mr. BENZ. I'll. Sincell
was made secretary. Mr.. Jones,
upon taking the chair, stated the
otjeot of the meeting and said that a
bill was now pending before the Leg
isaEtureiin which it was proposed TO
loeate and establish am additional
NOrmalschool for the State and that
the lbill'carried with it an appropria-
ton 'Gf.some $4,000 for this purpose.
er'consideaable discussion it was
the sensetof the meeting that com
mittee eof ten be appointed by the
chair to solicit subscriptions, If neces-
sarp. to,select site or a number of
sites suitable for the proposed school,
to appear before the Senate and
House committees at Annapolis and
take .gesssralcharge of the matter and
look after the interests of Garrett
county. The chair asked that he be
given until yesterday afternoon to
name this committee, which was ae-
ceeded to by those present.
Yesterday Mr.. Jones announced the
following gentlemen as members of
the committee: Mr.. A. B. Gender,
Mr.. G. s. Hamill, Mr. Fred A. Thayer.
Mr.. E. H. Sineell, Mr. D. E. Offutt-
DR.. E. H. BARTLETT, Prof U, G. Pal
mer, Mr.. A. D. Naylor, Col. A. G.
tSturgiss and Mr.. Chas. S. Davis
There are several towns in Western
Maryland laying claim to the location
of the proposed school amongst them
being Cumberland, Frostburg, West
ernport, Hagerstown and Frederick
City. Cumberland has offered as a bon
us for the selection of that town as the
location $4,000, but whether this
amOunt is in cash or simply a site for
the erection of the buildings we are
not Informed but the general impress
sion is that her offer consists of the
old academy building in that city.
Oakland is ready to offer any induce
ment for the erection of the building
here. She can present to the Legisla-
ture several available sites any one of
which is far preferable to anything
Cumberland can offer.
The committee appointed by the
chairman of Tuesday nights meeting
is vested with the power to offer a
free site for the location of the build
ings, with ground enough surround
ing to accommodate the growth of
the school for years to come, and will
go to Annapolis within a few days to
lay the claims of the people of Oak
land and Garrett county before the
committees having this bill in charge.
