THE COTTON CROP.
Col. Tillman Will Bet that it Will not

81 will bet NELL $1,000 and post the
money at once that the cotton crop will
not reach 10,J00,000 bales" said Col.
w l.. Tillman to an Enquirer-Sun re-
porter yesterday.
.'As a matter of fact" Col. Tillman
added, 1.-THE crop will fall much below the
figure / have named.
NO living man realizes how small the
crop will be-" said Mr. II. Bussey, of the
Columbus Fertilizer Company, who
heard Colonel Tfllman's remark. Il
have travelled pretty much all over Geor-
gia and Alabama and there is absolutely
no top crop. Picking is virtually over
nearly everywhere and the cows have
been turned into the cotton fields on
both uplands and bottom lands. Such
thing has never been known in these
States before. Scores of farmers have
said to me in the past few days, i have
saved YOU the last cotton | have to pay
for fertilizers. Every other bale of cot
ton made on the place has been ginned
and sold 1t is about a hundred miles
bv rail from Fort Gaines to Buena Vista
by way of Dawson. There as not ten
bales Of cotton to be picked between
these points. 1t is the same way every
where"
AS is we'll known Col. Tillman has
plantations in the Mississippi delta. Few
men are better posted on crop conditions
than he.
Cotton viii sell at s cents in Column

Tilman. more than 80 per cent. of the
crop has been picked out in Georgia and
Alabama, and from 60 to 10 per cent.
has been sold. am not making more
than half as much cotton as J made on
my plantations i'm Washington county,
Mississippi, last year. l have secured
all the information possible from the
delta My business man at Greenville,
]. ID. Smith, of the Beard-Smith Com
pany. writes me that the crop as 30 per
cent. short of last year. lie always
looks on the bright side OF things.
Vardeman, who runs a large public gin
merry at Hollandale Miss, says the crop
out there is 40 per cent. short. l have
here IA score of letters from the delta
country and not one of them places the
shortage as compared with the last year
at less than % per cent.
Farmers have no great amount Of cot
ton left, but my advice to every one of
them is not to sell another bale now.

QUITS GOEBEL's CAUSE.
Detection of Judge Hodge, a Trusted
Democratic Lieutenant.
washington Post.)

Louisville, Ky, Oct. 21.-The political
situation in Kentucky has been fraught
with more than the usual excitement
during the past twenty-four hours. The
most sensational development of the day
was the detection from GoebePs ranks of
Judge John Il. Hodge, of Newport, Ky,
one of his chief political lieutenants and
his trusted adviser and worker during the
convention which nominated him. The
Reputation is due to letter written by
Goebel to eX-Secretary OF State John W..
Headley, in 1896, when there was some
trouble over committee in CovingtOn and
Newport.
In this letter Goebel is reported to have
said: "Hodge is an unmitigated liar"
The letter was made public Il few days
ago. and Hodge immediately demanded
an explanation by wire. GOebel did not
explain, but asked for a conference This
flodge refused to grant, and, as he eX-
PLANTATION was still not forthcoming, he
today wired his resignation from Goe-
bels campaign committee, and gave out q
statement, in part, as follows
II am Disguised with the whole crowd.
No self-respecting man could tolerate
them. ! am preparing a statement which
| will make public, and which will show
who are the liars and double dealers"
Senator William Lindsay today gave
ont an interview ON the situation in Ken
tlclly, defining for the first time his posi-
ton. He stated that he doubted whether
Bryan's trip has had amy material effect
ON the campaign in Kentucky. He said
he favored the Brown ticket.

One hundred years ago next April
Thomas Jefferson was elected president
of the United States. The people of
Charlottesville propose a centennial cell
ebration of the event on grand scale.
They ought to be joined by the lovers of
liberty who believe in self government
in every section of the Republic. In
November 1900 the followers of Jeffer-
som will elect Mr.. w. J. Bryan, "the sec
ond Jefferson" as Senator Daniel called
him. That would be the best celebration
of the anniversary, and the April ceIe-
bration would help it along.

NOT ALL ARE "SAPPERs. 4"

I'm his able argument before Judge
ground that the Federal courts are the
bulwark of the Constitution and not the
''sappers and miners of the Constitution"
as Mr.. Jefferson said. 1T largely depends
upon the Judges. In the early days of the
Republic the Federal courts sought to
usllrp power 1t was against such usur-
patton that Jefferson protested. For many
years the Federal Supreme court has IL
llrmined our history by dts breadth and
integrity. even if Shiras did change his
mind so quickly. The just criticisms
against Federal judges OF recent years
has been directed at the newly created
circuit judges nearly all of whom have
corporations whose interests they have
served to the injury of the public. The
whole batch of them ought to be put out
of office, and the whole Federal Judiciary
made as pure and as worthy of respect
as the Supreme court of the United
States.
Government by injunction" introduc
ed and extended by these new Federal
Judges is responsible for much OF the
latter-day lack of faith in the Federal
courts. The people can be trusted to
give the respect to all courts to which
they are entitled. If they err at all it
is in the direction of the too much re-
spect for unfit Judges.

The management of the penitentiary
continues to give trouble. Recent IN
vestigations by a committee of the Leg
islatme and a committee of the board of
directors of the penitentiary disclosed
that ONE Lewis Summerell, a farm SUI
pervisor had been guilty of the inhuman
treatment of convicts under his charge.
The evidence seemed to be clear and
convincing. Yet at n meeting of the
penitentiary board last week Summerell
was white washed. "A resolution was
adopted saying. in effect, that Slrmmerell
had made a mistake" and he is retain
cd in his position; whereas, if there IS
any truth in the evidence offered before
the investigating committees, he should
have been promptly discharged and a
criminal prosecution shoull follow. Some
of the Democratic directors who voted
to white-wash Summerell say in eXtenu-
alton of their action that he will be dis
charged january LIST next. This is no
excuse. If he is guilty of one-tenth of
the things charged against him he should
have been discharged at once and then
prosecuted for crime. If he is not guilty
it should be so stated plainly and with
out equivocation.
The truth is the whole penitentiary
management is an unsavory mess. line
Democrats, who comprise a majority OF
the board of directors, should either man
age affairs entirely in their own way or
they should resign and .let the other
crowd have the credit and the infamy
of the management. The mixture is one
that is no credit to anybody and one that
will undoubtedly give the Democratic
party trouble in the future.

law vigorously, and Mr.. Goebel is hav-

Here is "A sample of his replies:
Il see my friend, Dick Knott and my
friend, John III. Whallen, have organized
an honest election league. That is a COM
bination OF the pharisee and the black
leg. If Capt. Kidd 300 years ago had
had his piratical craft manned by the
members of Dick Knott's and John
Whallen's honest election league, Capt.
Kidd would have been a deckhand in a
week. And the time will come when
the old devil will swoop down on that
gang of purifcationists. He will fasten
his claws into them and the struggle
will begin as to whether they are to fly
away with the devil or the devil is to fly
away with them.

State, and compliments and pistols for
two are ready for any emergency.

Although Smmmerell has been eXoner~

not alter the fact that the evidence sub

sufficient to Warrant a grand jury ln

are never satisfied with AN investigation
conducted behind closed doors, and if he
is really innocent of the charges made
against him. AN acquittal by jury OF

Ano1her Mime strike.

Ottumwa, Dec. 5.-A strike was inaugu-
rated mt the Star coal mines southwest of
the city Monday morning which has
thrown in the neighborhood of sixty men
out of employment.
Four mule drivers, working in ID. III.
Daum's coal mine employed at a salary of
81. SO per day, struck for an increase to
50 90 per day with an eight hour schedule.
When they appeared at the mines Mon
day morning, they had evidently made all
arrangements for this coup d'etat and
they made their demands before entering
the mines.
On refusal of Mr.. Daum to comply they
refused to go to work and as the miners
could not get out their coal without the
mule driver to haul itup to the slope they
were Obliged to return home. This neces-
stated thirty men loaflng. As there was
no coal to haul, the transfers, who are
employed at the mine, could not work. so
there was another layoff of about twenty
five men.
Coming at this time it will work a great
hardship in the management of the mine,
as we'll as upon the Miners who have fam
lilies to support. When Press reporter
called upon Mr.. Daum Monday fternoon,
however, he stated his determination OF
holding out He says that he has given
in all that he intends to and that the men
will wait a long time for him to comply
with their demands
