A party Of timber land dealers just
in from the mountains some twenty
miles out from Gate City report that
cougars are very numerous in that sec
ton. The woods are literally full of
them, and they are frequently seen
during the day. and also the blood
stained snow in many places shows
where they have killed deer. But the
worst feature of the brutes is their
habit, ommon to the feline races, of
caterwauling at night. A pair of these
animals growing and fighting in the
back yard Of ones camp all night is
no joke. The party was composed Of
eight men, all accustomed to life in
the woods, but, they say, were never
so badly frightened before in all their
woodland experience as they were dur
ing their last trip. Their hair stood
erect and the blood CONCEALED as the
muTderous cougars "ht and fit and
scratched and bit and struggled in the
mud, till all the ground for miles
around was covered with their blood"
Deer are becoming plentiful in the
mountains again, and the cougar is
living high and feeling good.-Portland

by the strange action of a wei in that
town. The water in the well has sud-
denly become hot without any appar-

whether the phenomenon is due to
chemical action of some kind or to
heat from the interior Of the earth.
The well is about fifty feet deep, wall
ed up, and about three feet I'm diane
ter, and was built by the Kirby Mill
ing company. Since the water became
hated It has risen up to within ten
feet of the top OF the well. and and is
perfectly clear. The temperature Is
said to be about 100 degrees.

THE COTTON MILL MERGER.

None of the Richmond county cotton
mills will go into the Fries merger, but
will continue in the ownership and pos
session of the men who erected them
managed them. We have no doubt that
the owners of these mills will in the
long run congratulate themselves upon
preserving their independence and
identity. The Dingley bill gave the cot
ton mill industry black eye. For the
past two years they have not prospered
Many of them have lost heavily. This
condition has induced quite number of
them to look favorably upon the merger
and to go into it. We believe the skies
will brighten and the cotton mill indus
try will again become prosperous as be-
fore the recent depression.
1t is much better for the State for the
mills to preserve their independence in
, the long run, even though it might seem
best in this period of depression to do
otherwise. We are aware that some of
the best cotton mil men in the State
look with favor upon the Fries merger.
1t is in the hands of honest men. But
it has in it the seed of a gigantic cotton
mill trust that might ripen into an
agency that would work injury to the
Southern cotton mill industry.

A RIDICULOUS ESTIMATE,

In their weekly cotton letter, the con-
sentative cotton firm of ]. H. Parker &
Co., OF New York, referring to the esti-
mate of Mr.. Neill that this years crop
will reach II, 100000 bales minimum,
with possibility of 100000 bales,
says:
eve regard this estimate as ridiculous.
But nevertheless it had considerable eff
feet on the Liverpool market. The Uni
ted States Census Bureau issued a re-
port this week giving. the amount of
cotton ginned up to October 18th as
about six million bales, and estimating
it as 60 per cent of the crop; which
would indicate total crop of less than
10 million bales. The Agricultural Blu
reau reports up to date certainly do not
confirm the big estimates of Messrs
Buston and Neill, but are rather in ac-
cord with the estimate of the Census
Bureau and that of Mr.. Price.
There is always wide difference Of
opinion at this season of the year as to
the OUTCOME of the crop, but we are still
of the opinion that this crop is
moderate one, if not shorter than that of
last year, believing as we have stated
in our previous letters, that any excess
over last years crop must come from
Texas and Arkansas"
They estimate that the spinners will
need II 100000 bales or more to meet
their requirements. The estimate is
general that the consumption will be the
largest on record this year.
