MUZZLE MIR. HENRY NELL.
Causes the Farmers of the South to Lose
Millions of Dollars.

From the COlum bus Enquirer-Sun.
Last September Mr.. Henry Nell, the
statistician, predicted that the cotton
crop for the season would reach twelve
million or more bales. 1t was evident
at the time t, well-informed people in
the south that Neill's figures were en-
tirely too large. Cotton opened early.
Picking and marketing pros resSed with
great rapidity. In fact, the movemene
of cotton was so rapid that many peoplt
not familiar with the facts placed the
utmost faith in Neill's figures. 1t was
freely predicted in some quarters that
the crop would 60 beyond rather than
below his estimate. Naturally, all this
hal depressing effect on the cotton
market. The price went so low as to
break all former records.
Now that the returns are about all in,
1T is known that the Neill estimate was
much too high, and he price Of cntton
has advanced. The advance, however,
did not come until the farmers had sold
their cotton.
The plain English of it is that this
man Nrill and few others, by their
wild guessing, have caused the farmers
of the south to lose many thousands of
dollars on their last cotton crop. The
Enquirer Sun is not at all surprised that
such has been the case. We protested
against NeilPs estimate at the time it was
made, and predicted that 1t would cause
the farmers to lose a great deal CT mon
ey. The same thing had happened be-
fore, on account of the widl and unwar-
ranted guesses of Neil and others, who
really knew nothing about what they
were saying. fins sort of thing has
been going on too long.
Since the farmer has sold his cotton in
the fall the price has advanced from
five to seven dollars per bale. Some,
body gets the benefit OF this advance.
but il is not the farmer who makes it. or
the southern merchant who sells him his
supplies.

Ilearly studied here, Our people have
not been thoroughly understood by your

San Francisco, and hence the Chinese
exclusion acts have been enacted. Those
acts have been in force about Is or Is
years, but am bound to say that the
acts have not been very satisfactory to
either country Those acts We're intend
ed to keep Chinese laborers from this
country, but since the measures have
been in operation they have been inter
fering not only with laborers. but also
with respectable classes of people to
whom they were not intended to apply
and to prohibit them from coming here

blame of those officials who are engaged

would point out to you is that those

not bring about results aimed at by

in China that your people dislike our

VINELAND'S EARL.
A New Jersey Man Who Claims an
English Title and Estate.

En&nSh Title ana Estate
There is in Vineland, n J., says the
Philadelphia Press, a man who claims
to be an English earl
Though known here as plain George
Swifte ne claims to be the Right
Hon. George Goodwin Barnham Swifte,
son and rightful heir to the title and
estates of the late Earl of Carlingford
of Swifte's Heath, Ireland His case,
now IN the high courts of Dublin, will
be Immediately reopened and prose-
cuted to finish by syndicate formed
for that purpose.
In 1915 Lord Carlingford Goodwin
Meade Pratt Swifte) married at Liver
pool. and two years later there was born
a son. The man at Vineland claims to
be this son.
The misfOrtunes of which George be-
came a victim were the result of his IA
ther' S second marriage, which occurred
IL 1868 His lordship survived this
event about year leaving a son. God
win Meade Butler Swifte, the rival
claimant in this extraordinary case.
On the death of Earl Carlingford the
children We're made wards of court and
a receiver was appointed over the prop
erty. Soon after this the stepmother,
the noble claimant alleges, informed
him that she had taken out letters of
administration; that she did not know
which was the heir. She said further
more that she was not bound to support
her stepchildren, and that they would
have to look out somewhere for employ
ment.
George went to Dublin, where he en-
gagged lawyers to prosecute his claim to
his fathers estates lie paid for serv-
ices which were never rendered, and
finally, impelled by necessity, he joined
her majesty's transport Frigate as
fourth officer and sailed to China.
During a second visit in England
Swifte presented his claims as heir to
his father estates and got an opinion
on his case from Charles Hare Hemp
hill, queen counsel. The opinion was
favorable, and he was advised to insti-
tute proceedings.
The next step was to sue for possess
sion. but here again the claimant S
progress was blocked by lack of funds.
Swifte after year Of vain endeavor to
furnish the sinews Of war Started again
for America, this time coming to Vine
land, where he has been working in a
humble capacity.
When 1t remembered that the prop
erty Of the earldom Of Carlingford has
been in the courts since 1864, and that
the rents and other income have been
piling up at the rate of $3.50, GOO to
$500, 600 per year, one can form some
idea Of tie amount OF cash that has ac-
cRmulated.
