THE COTTON MARKET
About Fifty percent of the Crop
Yet to Be Marketed
Special to the Daily Progress.

Jackson, Nov. 17.-Owing to the
prevalent fear that nothing can check
the downward career of the cotton
market, the staple is now being
rushed to the buyers all over Missis-
sippi, and the interior receipts were
exceptionally heavy during the week
just closed. Many Of the farmers
who held back their early picking in
anticipation of a better market now
selling off their cotton at the best
price obtainable, and the general i'm
preston prevails that the bears have
a death-clu.ch on the situation.
About forty per cent of the Missis-
sippi crop is yet to be marketed, and
usually the bulk of the November and
December picking is marketed Just
prior and during the Christmas holt
days, but this year it will be sold
earlier than usual, The weather has
been Exceptionally favorable for pick
ing during the past ten days, and good
has been made in the fields.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Brookhaven, Nov. 17.-Judge Rob-
ert Powell has just closed a two
weeks term of the Lincoln county
circuit court. A large volume of bus
mess was disposed of and four prison
ers sent to the penitentiary to serve
terms ranging from three years to life.
An interesting legal question IVES
submitted to Judge Powell in the Lin
coin county circuit court, and the
matter is now under advisement. At
the last session of the legislature a
bill was passed to protect ATTORNEYS
acting as counsel for litigants in dam
age suits claims by providing that JUS
tees Of the peace shall make allow
ance in cost-hi l4s-feF attorney s fees.
IN case Judge Powell sustains the
point brought up this law will be
practically destroyed, as the counsel
for railroad company demanded in
a trial Of this nature at Brook haven
that the opposing counsel, being prac-
tically party to the suit, give bond
for costs. The plaintiff had given
pauper's oath, and should the motion
be sustained, it will force the counsel
for litigants to assume equal response
bility with their clients.

OPERATING BIG QUARRIES.
Only Powder Used to Blast Fine
Quality of Granite.

Much stoneis being taken from the
quarries of Donahue and Stewart
on the north side of the Brandy
wine creek opposite Kentmere.
Long lines of fiat cars are at the
quarries ready to receive the stone
which is of a light color and of extra
hard quality. Donahue and Stewart
use only powder for blasting pur-
poses. The object is to get out big
granite blocks and when dynamite
is used to blast there the blocks
crumble. The powder puts long deep
cracks in it without crumbling it
and the stone is afterwards easily
quarried. Another immense derrick
arrived at the quarry yesterday and
was set in position to-day.

The Jessup and Moore Company

which operates the paper mills at
Augustine and which was washed
away last winter by the high floods

without mortar or cement When
the spring freshets swelled the
creek the wall was washed away
and large part of the bank carried
into the race which mole than fill
ed it and greatly interfered with
the water supply of the paper mills.
A portable derrick has been erected
there aud the wall is being con-
structed the same as the former one.

plete the work and in order to have
it finished before this winters storms
begin, the company has employed
