SPEcuLATING ABOUT CoTToN.-The
cotton crop has got the experts guess
ing. The late crop, the short crop, and
the uncertainty about how much Of
their crop the farmers are holding back
for higher prices leaves the experts In
a very undecided state about the fu-
ture Of the cotton market. According
to the New York Commercials:
A great change Of sentiment has
come over the textile interest. as refiec-
ted in New York dry goods circles, dur
ing the past ten days, which is finding
vent in the making of wagers that mid
ding cotton will reach 10 cents before
the first of January and II cents dur
ing the current commercial year.
Just what European spinners are do
ing can be surmised only, but that they
are not far behind-if not ahead Of
their Yankee competitors in protect
ing themselves against the sharp and
rapid rise now believed to be foreshad-
owed, we have abundant experience to
draw conclusions from in their favor.
1t is to be hoped this speculating
about cotton will not induce too many
people to speculate in cotton. Every
year the south is stripped of millions
Of dollars in the cotton futures mar
ket. 1t Is to be hoped this year that
our people will not add gambling losses
to their short crop.-Augusta Chronicle.

THE GRADED SCHOOL.
A COrrespOndent Wants Definite In
formation as to Cost of Building.

A Correspondent Wants Definite In
formation as to Cost Of Building.
Editor Of The Enquirer:
It Is with much regret that note the
apparent Indifference manifested by
the people Of this town relative to the
very important matter Of building and
equipping a suitable home for the gra-
ded school. There may be few ctti-
zens in the town who are opposed to
erecting a school building Of any kind;
but IL there are the writer does not
know who they are. 1t will be remem-
bered that an architect prepared plans
for what the trustees consider the size
and style building needed and the
statement was made that the building
fully equipped with suitable heating
apparatus and sewerage arrangements,
and also the cost of the necessary
grounds. would be "about $15, 5,0OO.' II
will be remembered also that same have
expressed the opinion that building
that would answer every purpose, fully
equipped, could be erected for $4,000,
and possibly less. Now, while the wri-
ter does not know whether or not the
latter Is correct neither does he know
that the building. grounds, etc., as re-
commended by the trustees Will cost
SIS, ,OO0 It may cost more or 1t may
cost less, and this matter Of doubt as
to the actual cost of the building and
equipment suggested, Is, in my opin-
ion the principal cause of delay, and
in this connection it Is my purpose to
make a suggestion to the board Of trus-
tees, which If adopted, will settle
the question as to the actual cost of
carrying out the plans as originally
suggested, and will enable the taxpay-
ers to act intelligently in regard to the
matter.
Here Is the plan: Allow all RESPONSE
BILE contractors who care to do so to
submit sealed bids for furnishing all
material and erecting and equipping
building strictly in accordance with the
plans as prepared by the architect, and
then let the trustees secure options on
several sites for the building, at
specified price. After this information
has been secured and made public, 1t
is the opinion of the writer that there
will be no especial trouble to secure the
requisite number Of names to a petit
ton asking that an election be order
ed for the purpose of deciding whether
or not the necessary bonds shall be Is

sued. While every. member Of the
board Of trustees has the confidence of
the taxpayers, and all that kind of
thing, still the writer has discovered
that many taxpayers, while favoring
the erection of the kind Of building
needed, are not willing to vote for the
tax unless they know in advance exact
ly what 1t Is to cost, and the writer Is
free to admit that he Is one Of that class.
Conditions demand that the matter be
settled without unnecessary delay, and
any person who will pay a visit to the
present inadequate quarters Of the
school between the hours Of a. m. and
p. m, on any day when the school is
in session, will agree. with me.

HOW CZOLGOSZ WILL DIE.
The Routine Performed In the Case
Of an Ordinary Murderer VIII be
Pursued In His Case.

of an Ordinary Murderer VIII be
Pursued In His Case.
Cgolgosz, the assassin, who must die
under the laws Of New York state
within the week beginning October 2S
will pass the remainder Of his days on
earth in a monotonous manner. He
occupies the fifth cell in 'murderers
row" in Auburn State prison. There
were four condemned men In the row
when Czolgosz arrived, and he took the
only remaining cell. Despite the fact
that he is the last one sentenced and
to reach the prison where his closing
days are to be spent, his execution is
ordered to take place first. His fellow
murderers, whose crimes made Stir
only in the localities where they were
committed, suffer the same penalty as
the assassin who threw the entire ma
ton into mourning.
When the grated door was closed on
Czolgosz on September q, 1t signaled
the fact that the condemned would
never leave the cell until such time as
the officers Of the law charged with
putting him to death by electricity
should take him to the execution cham
Der. There are two guards on duty
constantly in the corridor on which the
five cells face. These cells are In the
basement, in the southern wing, and
removed from the general cells. CZol-
gosz's incarceration in the condemned
cell precludes his seeing anyone save
the guard, members of his immediate
family and clergyman. These per-
sons have access to the corridor as Of
ten as they see fit to call, or as often
as Czolgosz may desire.
The rules Of the prison department
allow the condemned to- eat whatever
he may see fit to order and on the day
Of the execution he may have a new
suit Of black Many criticize adversely
the giving of the assassin the right to
select luxuries, feeling that he should
be kept alive on the plainest diet. II
he should choose to order birds and
fancy dishes. it will be the duty of the
warden to provide them.
The putting to death Of Czolgosz for
the terrible crime he committed Will be
the same as that Of any other con-
demned man in capital case On the
morning of his electrocution, which Will
probably be October %. Czolgosz will

suit of clothes, and then be permitted
to have a meeting with his spiritual
adviser. The witnesses to the carrying

chamber which contains the electric
chair. The condemned, when he and
his spiritual adviser have finished their
devotions, will be marched from his
cell with the clergyman. and surround

will proceed to the room where the wit

There was never before In. this coun- Ftry such wide scourse Of heat as the
 press reports of yes HEAT HERE tarday chron.c.ed. It AND extends all over the ELSEWHERE, country. It Is not in
 the nature of a wave but has settled down upon the whole United States like great smothering blanket. The death rate Is appalling, and tonight millions are praying for rain CT that the stihing atmosphere may be rent and torn apart by light ming flashes. Nearly all the fatalities reported have occurred north of the Ohio river. Minneapolis. Q far north ern city has contributed liberany to the death roll.
 Those who have always lived in the mountain or inter- mountain region of the western United States can form no adequate idea Of the extent of the suff5 ring caused in the eastern cities by heat. Prostrations used to be called sunstrokes, though, as a matter of fact. death has always been less fre- quent in the sun than in the shade A swelteiing night is really mere dangerous than tha burning day. It Is in the night time that mothers sit by their stricken children, and watchers wait by the aged and weak praying that they may be kept alive until the faint morning breeze shall bring re- lief and strength against another day and then perhaps there will be a fall Ing temperature. The power,ess strug- gle against heat is remindful of the dreadful sufferings of the inhabitants of the Dutch cities surrounded by the armies of Spain and psrvaded by famine and disease.
 Southzrn Arizona has the reputation of being one of the hottest regions in the United States. and Phoenix. Tue son and Yuma are made to vie with each other fer the heat record. Yet
 
 suffering from heat in any one of these places. A half dog men have died in Phoenix within the last nine years ap- parently of heat prostration. but with. out a single exception the victims had been indu'glng in a debauch covering periods varying from two days to ,wo weeks But for the heat some of them might have recovered from the debauch and but for the debauch their lives would have been in no peril. The death of no woman or child in PhJ5- nix has ever been traceable to heat The days of the weakest invalid nave never been shortened an instant by 1t.
 So heat in Phoenix is merely an ar- ncyance and not a menace. 1t makes men sit around and cuss and so 1t puts their immortal souls in jeopardy.

Amity between the United States and Germany may perhaps be pro- noted by the action of Harvard uni versity in conferring the degree of doctor of laws upon the German ann bassador. Conspicuous honcr was shown to him; his ofiicia rank was regarded as next to that of the gover- nor of the commonwe alth, he was complimented by the Latin orator, and he was cheered by the audience. Such International episodes are more common when Engllshmen are the ob- jects of them. But there is more need of good feeling for Germans now thaa for any other foreigners.
