GRIGGSAND G0vERN0RSHIP
Is Satisfied With His Present Position,
ana Has no Idea of Becoming a
Candidate for Any Other Office.

For the past several days a rumor has
been going the rounds Ct the press OF
the state that Hon. j. NJ, Griggs would
be candidate to succeed Governor
Gambler at the close of the latters
second term in 1902.
The report was without foundation,
and came as a surprise to Judge Griggs.
He has no designs upon the governors
ship of the state nor any other position
except the one be now occupies as
member of congress from the second
district and in positive and pointed
way sets at rest the statement to the
contrary.
In talking of the rumor to a News
representative Judge Griggs said:
"No person has been authorized by
word or intim8tion from me to even
suggest my candidacy for the high of
flee of governor at any time; and you
can say for me that | am not now, and
so far as human foresight can declare
certainty thee years hence [ shall not
then be a candidate for governor.
81 am well satisfied With the position
now hold, and with increased experience
| hope to be able to render better service
to the people of my district in congress.
"ShOuId | ever determine to make the
race for an Office other than the one
now hold the news will not slip out
indirectly, but will go straight from
me t. the people"

Columbia Echoes.

Sam Steward, one of the crew Of
the City OF Columbia, was arrested
on Tuesday last and charged with
using threatening language towards
Captain Walker, the master of the
deceased steamer
Steward was arraigned in the Dis
trict Court yesterday, and his case
was continued as the Captain was
unable to be in attendance. The
arrested man stated to the Magis.
trate that he left the unfortunate
steamer in the boat with the Captain
and had charge of the Captains
personal property, among which
were two bags containing coin to the
amount of $4,000. He and some of
his mates called upon Captain Wal.
ker at the Office of the Superintend-
ent OF Public Works and asked for
money, the majority OF the crew be-
ing starving and without cent.
They asked for SIS each and were.
told that there was no money, but
eventually they were offered $4 each.
The case was remanded till this
morning when Captain Walker APP
peared and stated that Steward had
said that he would come to Walkers
house and not Stalk hut act" The
Captain thought that such language
implied threat
Steward gave evidence and denied
that he ever had used such lam
guage. He repeated his statement
Of the previous day, and claimed
again that he had taken care of
$1,000 for the Captain after they left
the sinking ship.
Judge Wilcox in discharging the
man warned him and his friends not
to modest Captain Walker. The
learned Magistrate said, "You have
lost one leg in your claim for wages
when the old steamer went down; if
you kill Captain Walker you will
lose the other leg, and then your
claims will have no legs to stand on
whatsoever"
Steward is suspected OF being a
deserter from one OF the colored
regiments, and is held in custody for
investigation. He has 80 far been
unable to explain how he landed in
these Islands.

The tonic has the good qualities

more palatable and composed Of

tonic ard medicinal remedy for

That there should be men who
can claim American birth and citi-
zenship and still uphold our present
labor laws is rather surprising. Yet
we don't think that anybody will be
greatly astonished by finding Mr.. @.
l.. Wight in that category. Mr..
Wight is the president Of great
steamship company and has many
men in his employ, but he certainly
has the most peculiar ideas in re-
gard to wages and other matters
that we have ever heard advanced
by an intelligent man. Mr.. Wight
writes: "I can see no fault in our
present system. Smart, provident
men do not need assistance in COM
ing to this country, nor do they need
contract with an employer to
secure steady work at good wages.
Improyident, lazy or stupid men
need to be assisted to come to the
country and a penal contract is
necessary to secure their service
after arrival"

Mr.. @. l.. Wight is in favor OF the

come to the conclusion that the men

The Cotton Markets.
yEJy YORK COTTON MARKET


New York, Sept. 25.-Excitement was
at fever heat when the market for cot
ton futures opened this morning. and
during the early hours trading was very
heavy. Shorts were panic stricken and
eagerly snapped up offerings in the
nearby positions on the call. Trades
made simultaneously in different parts
of the ring represented n difference of
to points for tho same options at
times.
The main cause for the excitement
was a sudden advance Of ~ points in
futures at Liverpool, and rumors that
the European cotton trade, bearish by
nature was thoroughly demoralZcd by
the recent action OF our market, as
well as the continued unfavOrable news
concerning the crop. Officially our mar
kct opened steady at an advance of
II to IL points. This rise was soon in
creased to a matter of 16 to 10 points,
or to n level OF 40 10 5S points over
the figures current week ago Satur-
day. Shortly after the call profit talk
ing on n large scale. i'll connection with

but later figured as one of the leading
buyers.
The general under-currcnt OF scnt-
ment was strongly favorable to still
higher prices, and every weak spot
started buying afresh for long account
The news from the cotton belt took on
even more pessimistic view to-day
than at any time thus far this sea-
son.
The crop was said to be short In
nearly every section OF the belt, and
spot dealers were experiencing no diff
ficulty whatever IN securing advanced
prices for desirable grades. New Eng
land spinncrs and Southern mill own
ers were reported to be competing with
exporters. The movement from interior
towns continued to lag behind that OF
Il year ago.
