Henry Burrows vas found guilty of

charge cf murder. He killed Alex
Haynsworth by striking him on the

that the deed was supposed to have been
done iu the heat Of passion was 40 exc

took charitable view of the case aud
rendered a verdict Of napslaughter, and
uuder this verdict Henry Burrows
would have received no more than JUS

sCoAsr LINE SHORT CUT.

The Augusta Chronicle Of yesterday
contained the following Of much con.
cern to South Carolinians
ut is stated that the Atlantic Coast
Line is now surveying the route of an
extension of their lite that will put
them great deal nearer to Augusta
than at present.
"Tbe information is to the effect that
the new line will be roo from Denmark
to Martins Station OF the Port Royal
and Western Carolina division of the
Charleston and Western Carolina.
s.The reason for the building of this
short line is obvious. The Atlantic
Coast Lioe DOW owns the Charleston
and Western Carolina aud, at the sane
time, is running it's trains into Augusta
over the tracks of the South Carolina
aod Georgia.
"By the construction Of this short
line it would be enabled to reach this
city over it's Own tracks for the entire
distance
just when the work Of grading,
spd of laying the tracks will commence
can not be stated. It is believed that
the Coast Lioe in the future will make
a very strong bid for the business of
this section aud that by shortening it's
route to the east and running over It's
owu tracks it will compete, DOT only
for the passenger business, but for the
freight to such an extent that Augusta
will enjoy even lower rates than she
COW has to the eas. and from there"

to show the undeoiably enormous losses
that tho South has invariably sustained
when more cotton vas produced than
necessary to supply The waits of the
world
Ii we should bring the tabulated
figures made then. up to this date.
the losses to the farmers on this
years crop would appear still more
startling !; and, with the condition OF
affairs now prevailing throughout the
world. the necessity for a reduction
in acreage this year should appeal to
every farmer with greater force and
induce him to largely increase the
production of food crops
The planters of the South have no
encouragement to plant cotton large.
" this year, with the Aoglo-Ru
Chinese complications existing in the
East, which might before the new
crop could be marketed, greatly re-
duce the value of cotton and the
strained relations of our own Gov
erDment with Spain. which possibly
might result in war, staring them in
the face.
Even with permanent peace exist
ing between all the nations of the
globe, the consumptive demand for
cotton would not be sufficient to war
rant the production of another such
large Americas crop as last year An
inevitable loss to the whole South. I'M
our opinion, would surely follow.
From a recent circular of Messrs
Ellison & Co Liverpool, the highest
authority on cotton consumption in
the world, we make the following ex
tract as to future prospects:
"In oar Annual Report issued in
January. we showed that with an
American crop of l0,750, 600 bales,
aud a consumption of about $780,
tOOG bales, the stock of Americon cot
ton in the ports of the United States.
Europe, and the surplus stocks at the
American and European mills would
be about 1900. 900 bales. against
only 100000 last year. and we re-
marked that in regard to the future
of prices everything would depend
upon the prospects of the new crop.
"Wi,h as great reduction in
acreage as took place in the spring of
1895, We should see a repetition of
the upward movement in values wit
messed in that year but, if planters
are satisfied with present prices and
do not reduce the area planted. then
cotton will become greater drug
than it ever has been in the his
tory of the trade, and planters will
not get anything like present
prices "
In their report Messrs Ellison &
Go. based their calculations upon
crop of only lO.75o,o 900 bales, when
9,975,AlS bales have already been re.
ceived, aud the indications favor l.
900 900 bales or more
The present unfavorable outlook
for prices Of next years csop
should induce every merchant in the
South to use his influence with
the planters to cause a mark
ed reduction in acreage. which
would be surely followed by
better prices and greater confidence
in general business operations
throughout the South
Yours truly,
Latham, Alexander & Co.
