Maryland, will share Offices with the
State Committee In the st. James Build

COTTON.
The Situation Reviewed and Its Con.
tlnued High Price Predicted.

From the U. 8. Investor Boston, Mass,
Cotton, during the past two weeks,
has sold ut the highest prices seen In ten
years. In 1890 1t sold vt l2s cents. At
this writing 1t is quoted ut 10t cents,
but 1t Is confidently expected by some,
assuming that this year 8 crop does not
much exceed 10, 600, 900 bales, that the
price will reach higher figures, as the
consumption Of cotton, the world over,
IL far In excess Of what II was In 1890,
and the statistical position OF the staple
IL much stronger, 1t will not be wise,
however, to bank too strongly on the
statistical position Of cotton, The price
will depend largely on the demand, and
while European mills are very lightly
stocked, the inquiry for cotton goods at
this writing IL decreasing, and there
are not waiting indications that the
cotton goods industry Is entering upon
u period Of depression, which may last
some time especially among mills max
ing goods for export, unless the troubles
IN China are soon terminated.
With anything like normal demand,
however, II Is ut present difficult TO see
how ut the most there can be any surplus
OF cotton. The current cotton year will
20 ont at the end of August with the
lightest stocks of which we have any
record. The stocks ut the United States
ports have dwindled down to about 1850, e.
600 bales, and In the interior towns TO
about 100, 900. Il year ngo the stocks
at the ports were about 400 900 bales
and In the interior towns about $40 900.
This diminuti0n In the stocks Of cotton
IN the United States has been brought
about, Notwithstanding the fact that ex.
ports since the beginning Of last Sep
iember have been, contrary 10 OK
pecta,ion, smaller than for the cores
pounding time In iS0S-lSDO, being 3 6D5, &.
6il bales this year, against 7 1870 0s0
bales last, IL can thus be seen that II
tho demand for cotton for export had
been equal TO that OF last year there
would not have been enough cotton IN
the United States 10 have supplied H.
Europe has purchased cotton only for
actual needs, She has not purchased
M literally Of any country rs she did
last year. The result II that the stocks
Of cotton IN England and on the con
tinent are astonishingly small, Thus
the total stock In Liverpool Is only 405,
900 bales, against ! 2l3 900 bales u year
ago, and ,000, 600 bales two years ago.
The total continental stocks are only
$40, 900 bales, M against 70t 300 bales
last year and $50 300 bales two years

Noble Sentiments.

No more exalted and patriotic senti-
ments were ever uttered than those
which fell from the lips of WIN. j..
Bryan in closing his address at Indiana
polls. They are words that should sink
deep into the hearts of all Americans
who desire to preserve our institutions.
He said in closing his address:
"Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of
the Committee: can never fully dis
charge the debt of gratitude which |
/ owe to my countrymen for the honOrs
which they have so generously bestowed
upon me; but, sirs, whether it be my
lot to occupy the high Office for which
the convention has named me, or to
spend the remainder of my days in
private life, it shall be my constant
ambition and my controlling purpose
to aid in realizing the high ideals Of
those whose wisdom and courage and
sacrifices brought this republic into
existence,
II can conceive of national destiny
surprising the glories of the present and
the pasta destiny which meets the
responsibilities of today and measures
| up to the possibilities of the future. Be-
hold republic, resting securely upon
the foundation stones quarried by rev.
dictionary patriots from the mountain
of eternal truth-a republic applying in
practice and proclaiming to the world
the self evident proposition that all men
are created equal that they are endowed
with inalienable rights; that govern
ments are instituted among men to Sc
cure these rights that governments de-
rive their just powers from the consent
of the governed. Behold republic IN
which civil and religious liberty slim
ulate all to earnest endeavor and in
which the law restraints every hand up.
lifted for u neighbours injury-a re.
public in which every citizen is SOW
ereign, but In which no one cares to
wear crown. Behold republic
standing erect, while empires all around
are bowed beneath the weight of their
own armaments-a republic whose flag
is loved while other flags are only feared.
Behold a republic increasing in popu
lation, In wealth, in strength and in
influence, solving the problems of civiliz-
alton and fastening the coming of
universal brotherhood republic which
shakes thrones and dissolves aris
tocracies by its silent example and gives
light and inspiration to those who sit in
darkness. Behold a republic gradually
but surely becoming the supreme moral
factor in the world 8 progress and the
accepted arbiter of the worlds disputes
a republic whose history like the path
Of the just, is as the shining light that
shineth more and more unto the per-
feet day. -

Negro Shot.

Six shots fired in rapid succession
called the night police and people living
in that section to the vicinity of the
compress Tuesday night, where it was
found that Arthur Sewall the negro dray-
man, had been shot through the fleshy
part of the right leg above the knee by
Sam Walton the negro Waterman at the
compress. g,
The officers on their arrival arrested
both and after Sewall's wound had been
attended to by a surgeon both were re-
leased under bond. Walton claimed to
have acted in self-defense and circum-
stances appear to bear out his assertion,
as Sewall had gone down there in com.
pany with another negro, and armed
with fence picket had tried to renew
an old quarrel he had had with Walton.
Sewall had on several previous occasions
also attempted to involve Walton into
an alteration.
The case was called for hearing Thurs.
day in Justice Ferguson S court and was
continued until next Monday.

They We're Hungry.

Two weeks ago Bud Galloway, w. H
Ross, w. A. Briscoe and Dan Hunt
started out with wagon, team and driv-
er to explore the country of the Indians
toward the setting sun, Okmulgee being
their objective point. Last Friday W.
A. Briscoe came in by train and his
first stop was q restaurant, where he
ordered meals for four and then sat
down and did not stop until every platter
was clean. Saturday w. H. Ross, Bud
Galloway and Dan Hunt returned-also
by train and went through like per-
Torrance. They all claimed to have
had most enjoyable trip. But their
friends were suspicious and during the
past week their suspicious have been
abundantly verified, for it began to leak
ont that they had had only one square
meal since they left Van Buren,, and
that was after having robbed a hen roost
of five chickens. which Dan Hunt de.
clares on oath had twelve legs and he
says Briscoe ate every one Of them.
They started out with high hopes and
returned hungry and covered with dust.
Their wagon came to pieces almost be.
fore they left town and Bud Galloway
and Dan Hunt had to sit one on each
side with Ratchet to keep the tire on.
Kind-hearted Indians directed them to
fine fishing streams fifteen or twenty
miles out of their route, which did not
have rs much water in them as the
sprinkler leaves on Main street. They
took nothing but side meat and corn
meal and told their friends how they
would live on young squirrels, turkeys
and bear meat, and all they killed was
one solitary squirrel, and that had be.
come so old that 1t had lost both sight
and hearing. They all agree that fat
hog meat Is the greatest delicacy on
earth and that 1t only took such a trip
to make them realize it.

until after the new crop be.

replenished until after the new crop be-
gins to move, when the American mills,
which are only moderately stocked, will
begin to buy. One conclusion seems
unavoidable, that If the English and
continental mills are to continue to make
goods, they must make very large
purchases Of American cotton, which In
addition to our home requirements, will
require larger crop than we have during
the past year (about 1000, 900 bales).
1t must be borne In mind in this con
nection that The Indian crop will proba
bly, be much smaller than the average,
and that the Egyptian crop also will be
much reduced.
OF course it is too early rs yet to make
anything like reasonable estimate of
the American cotton crop, which Is now
growing-so many things may happen
in the course of the next few months to
affect the yield. A conservative guess
would be 10, 900, 600 bales, But II 1t is
no larger than this, in view of deficiencies
to be made up, 1t Is difficult to see how
q further advance in the price OF cotton
can be avoided, unless the demand

portions. The weather reports thus far
have been the least favorable In those
sections where the most cotton to the
acre is raised. In sections where less
cotton Is raised to the acre, weather
conditions have been fair In the up.
lands Of Texas cotton looks we'll but
rain is greatly needed there.
The outlook then Is for continued
high price for cotton. 1t seems un.
fortunate for the mills that this should
be so just at the time when prices Of
cotton goods are declining, which, II
continued, will Of course, wipe out what
margin Of profit now exists for the
manufacturer, and may necessitate a
reduction in wages, subject which is
already being quietly considered by the
management of number of our mills,
