BRADSTREET's REPORT.
1t shows Large Crop Yields and I'm
diminished Trade and Industrial


diminished Trade and Industrial
Activity.
New York, Sept. 26.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Large yields of nearly all crops have
been secured. jobbing trade activity is
undated. manufacturing industry in
nearly all lines is running at full speed
retail demand is improving, railway
and water transportation interests are
pushed to handle business offered, and
the only unfavorable feature in the
situation is the growing tension exert
ed by the anthracite coal strike, which
now finds cold weather almost mere,
and industries in many lines threatened
with interference caused by the en-
HANGED price of the bituminouS proc
uct Collections In a majority OF IN
stances remain good, most OF the eX-
ceptions being noted at the South,
where the feeling, owing to reported
shortages in yield of cotton, Is trlne
less optimistic.
At the South heavy rains during the
cotton picking season has been an IN
favorable feature so far as afrecting the
gathering of the crop already open is
concerned. but beneficial to the late
crops in Indian Territory, Texas and
Florida, and, In TACT, Wherever IheS
have fallen.
At the East business is reported good
in nearly all branches of the New
York dry goods trade, and the outlook
is very encouraging. The strength OF
cotton goods, based largely on the po-
sition of the raw material is notable
Among the industries the feature
Of transcendent interest is still the
enormous demand, greatly in excess of
the supply, for iron and steel in its
cruder forms. The scarcity of coke is
as marked as ever, and number of
furnaces are now shut down with en-
suing great loss to operators, who are
unable to take advantage of the pres
ent enormous demand. Buying of for
eign iron and steel is liberal, despite
advices from the Central West that
consumers find difficulty in utilizing
some of that already imported.
Business failures for the week num-
Der ITO, as against 1877 last year.

VALDOSTA NOTES.

Stirring Interest in Education.
Double Roller Cotton Gin In
vented.
Valdosta, Ca, Sept. 26.-The people
of Hahira, in the upper part of the
county, had a great educational rally
yesterday, the object being to stir up
interest in a central school at that
place with wagons to haul the chill
dren up from the neighboring COM
munities. There was a large crowd in
attendance and a number of fine
speeches were made on educational
lines.
Mr.. w. w. Webb was master of
ceremonies and addresses were made
by Col. ]. G. Crawford, Prof. E. w.
Edwards, State School Commissioner
Merritt and Prof. M. A. Shaw. There
was a very large crowd on hand and
a splendid basket dinner was one fea-
ture of the occasion. Owing to the
heavy rain, the dinner was served in
the school house and the room was
packed with people to partake of it.
Mr.. w. H. Baskin of Mineola, claims
to have invented a double-roller gin
for sea island cotton, which is the first
practical gin of the kind in use Mr..
Baskin is having a perfected gin made
by the Valdosta Foundry and Machine
Company, and he claims that 1t will
revolutionize the method of ginning sea
island cotton.
He claims that it will do twice the
work of the single-roller gin without
extra cost or power. He also claims
that his gin will be self-feeding, which
will do away with the expense of a
man to feed it. He also claims that
another new feature of his gin will be
the mechanism used for vibrating the
moving knives. This is done by chill
ed eccentrics revolving in a yoke. The
working parts of the machine. Mr..
Basl<in claims, are adjusting,
hence remain in the same relative DO
sition all of the time. If the gin proves
to be what Mr.. Baskin claims for
1t, 1t will be one of the greatest in
ventions that has ever been brought
out for the handling of sea island cot
ton

Columbia, s. c. Sept. 26.-An I'M
usual case was tried in the Circuit
Court yesterday at Anderson. Walter
Gilmer, a 12-year-old white boy, was
tried for assault and battery with in
tent to kill. The prosecutor was Wad-
dy Murray, another boy of about the
same age. Both boys were accompanied
in the court room. 1t is said parental
spite was the cause of the case being
tried. The boys had been employed in
the Pelzer cotton mill. They had a fight
in the mill one day last November and
the Gilmer boy cut the Murray hoy
on the neck with a pocket knife. It
was a painful wound, but not at all Sc
rious. Murray's father had a warrant
issued against the Gilmer boy for as
sault and battery with intent to kill.
The magistrate sent the case up to the
Circuit Court and the grand jury found
true bill 1t is said the solicitor did
not know the age of the defendant un-
til he was arraigned in court, and he
did not put much vigor into the pros
ecution of the case. In his charge to

NOTORIOUS
WOMAN GOT
HIS FUNDS

DEg MONIES. May 2l.--sensa
tional testimony was given In the
trial today Of Letson Ballet. the al
legged mining king at Baker City,
Ore, who II accused OF fraudulent
use OF the United States malls. Mrs.
Alice Young, OF San Francisco,
Balliet's private secretary, said upon
orders from Ballet she had In divers
cases turned over to notorious
woman OF San Francisco various
sums belonging to the White Swan
Mining Company.
It IL probable that no one is more
familiar with the devious methods Of
tho accused than the witness. She
was his friend at a time when he
had but few, and conducted his bust
ness while he was once before on
trial, using, II is stated, money from
her own funds TO assist him. In re-
turn he discharged her a short time
after his liberation, presumably be-
cause she knew too much of his
methods. II IL thought n large por-
ton OF Bailiets revenues went for
meretricious purposes.
