Hubbard Brothers Cotton Letter

New York, Sept. 17.-Our market
opened with sales OF January at $50,
9.S3, closed at 9.85, and after selling
at 9. 94a9. 95, ruled at 9.93 st p. m.
Liverpool was adversely affected by
the failure of the old firm of John
Wrigley & Sons, who have been con-
nected with the cotton trade for over
a century. The failure was due to
corner in Egyptian cotton, conducted
by them during the last month. Good
reports from the New Egyptian crop
probably made it impossible for them
to dispose of the cotton they were
obliged to receive. The opening here
was affected by the adverse advices
from Liverpool, together with the
realizing by the South. This cotton
was bought by local interests on tue
belief that the receipts were too light
and the weather TOO cold, although the
predictions were for warmer weather.
Reports were circulated Of frost at
Corsicana, Texas On this the last ad
vance to 10 cents for December was
established. The local feeling is very
bullish on the belief that the light re-
ceipts will bring Europe into the mar
ket as buyers. September was strong
on short covering. The market sold
off on attempted realizing by the early
buyers. Outside support did not come
in on the noon advance. The spot
market was steady and unchanged.

The Eros's Feeding.

Mr. Frog bas an enormous mouth for
his size. and if we were to put finger
inside it we would find that he has q
row Of teeth in the upper jaw and that
his soft white tongue. unlike our own,
is attached in front and is free behind.
When he wishes to catch any insect he
throws out the free end Of the tongue,
then draws it in so rapidly that it is
difficult to see whether he has been
successful or not. AS the tongue is
coated with a gummy fluid. the insect
sticks to it and is carried back into the
mouth, which closes upon it like the
door Of tomb. Frogs, however, are
not limited tc one mode Of feeding.
They often leap open mouthed upon
larger prey. which includes besides IN
sects small fish. mice, small ducklings.

WATER POWER OF The SOUTH.
photographic Bureau is Making
Special Study of it.

Washington, Sept. 4.-The hydro
graphic work of the United State geo.
logical survey in North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Tennessee, Mississippi and Florida, in
charge of Nj. Maxcy r. Hall, hydro
grapher, and Mr.. B. M. Hall, consult
ing engineer, is furnishing the public
with information concerning the flow
of the streams at all seasons of the
year, the amount of fall on tie rivers
and the locations of the man, 1erge
undeveloped water powers in thai re
gion. These data, which enable inves
tors to estimate with certainty the
amount of power that they can realize
at any shoal, have been the causes Of
a great many recent water power de-
veiopmeants.
Some of the powers in process of
development are: A 48-foot dam on
the Chattahoochee river at Bull Sluice,
near Atlanta, Ca, a 36-foot dam on
the same river at Gainesville, Ga. !; a
5O-foot fall on Oconee river at Mil
ledgeville, Ga. I; 96-foot fall on Tow
anga river near Griffin, Ga. !; two pow
ers on Chestatee river near Dahlonega,
Ga. 29-foot fall on Catawba river at
Rock Hill, s. c., and large powers on
Broad river at Carlisle, S. c., and on
Congaree river at Columbia, S. G..
Many others have been recently pur-
chased by capitalists who are getting
ready to begin work. The Chatta-
hoochee Falls Company has 50-foot
fall on the Chattahoochee river at
Columbus, Ga. and the Coweta Power
Company has purchased three other
shoals of fifty feet each on the same
river just above Columbus The At
lanta Electric Company has purchased
the Thornton shoal with 32-feet fall
at Winnings, eight miles from Atlanta,
on the same river
These are only few of the large
southern developments that are posi-
lively assured The highest fall in
the South with large volume of water
is at Tallaulah Falls, on Tallulah
river, where head of 525 feet can be
utilized cheaply by dam and canal.
The largest power in the South is at
Big Muscle Shoals, On Tennessee
river in Northern Alabama, where
100, 600 horsepower can be developed.
Before the United States geological
survey began it's work the public had
no idea of the constancy of the streams
and the great value of the water pow
ers in the southern Piedmont region.
There are no large waterpowers in
Florida and Mississippi, nor in the
coastal plain of Alabama, Georgia and
the Carolinas, but the artesian water
supply, the phenomenal springs and
the underground streams OF these
regions are being investigated to deter
mine their economic value and their
scientific significance.

CARE OF PlVEMENTs.
Heavy Loads on Narrow Tires
Destructive to Streets.

Properly cared for, a good pavement
should last for many years and the
real economy in work Of this character
is to build nothing but good, substan-
tial payements at the start and then
see to it that they are protected from
abuse or misuse, says The American
Asphalt Journal. 1t is becoming
generally recognized that the most
attractive and satisfactory pavement
for all ordinary purposes is the modern,
up-to-date asphalt pavement, some OF
which has already been laid in this
city with the prospect that another
considerable stretch of it will be COM
pleted during the present season.
The old theory that asphalt is not
we'll adapted for standing the wear
and tear of heavy teaming is gradually
being discarded, and the claim is now
accepted that good foundation will
stand fully as much as any other kind
of pavement, provided care is taken
to insist on wide tires for heavy loads.
It is in accordance with this theory
that the city Of Chicago is planning
to pave all of its downtown streets
with asphalt, which is far more noise
less than brick, block or cobble stone.
It is fact that is well understood,
however, that the use OF narrow tires
for heavy loads is terribly destructive
to any kind Of street pavement, no
less than to the maintenance OF good
country roads, and there is, therefore,
general tendency to require by law
that all wagons and other vehicles
used in transporting heavy loads shall
be equipped with tires Of a specified
width. A list of the leading cities OF
the country shows that most OF them
have ordinances which require mini
mum of one inch to the ton for actual
loads, while in many of them the
specified width of tires is still greater.
With the growing use of asphalt pave
ments, however, there is general
tendency to require all wagons that
are used to convey ordinary loads to
have tires not less than three inches
in width. while in the cases of extra
heavy loads the tires must be still
wider. In this city there is an ordi-
nance which requires tires three
inches in width for all loads Of 3,O00
pounds or over, but this should be
supplemented by further require
ment that extra heavy loads, such
as coal, stone, machinery, etc., should
have tires four or five inches wide,

FlER NEGRO VOTES.
Democrats in Ohio Bidding for
Colored Suffrage.

Cleveland, Sept. 16.-For the first
time in the history of Ohio deter
mined and organized effort to capture
the colored vote is to be made by the
Democrats, and the plans now being
arranged promise to give the RepubH-
cans considerable worry.
Chairman Salen of the Democratic
State committee has admitted that
that committee intends going after
the colored vote, which, in Ohio, is
no small factor. This vote has always
been awarded to the Republicans,
Iargely by the Democrats making little
Or no effort to capture it, but Salen
says that this year men will be sent
into every county of Ohio in an effort
to organize the negroes into Demo
cratic campaign clubs. Many argu-
ments will be used to secure negr
converts, but the strongest will be
that the Republicans Of Ohio always
get their votes and never give them
any Office.
During the past year there has been
much dissatisfaction among negroes in
various parts of Ohio, notably in
Green county, where they outnumber
the whites in certain townships, and
the Democrats propose to take advan-
tage of this. The many lynchings Of
negroes in States now having Republi-
can administrations will be used as
strong argument in behalf of the john
son ticket. Already several promi-
nent negro workers have been engaged
to aid in this new vote catching
scheme.

LYNGHINe By MOSAIC Law.
Georgia Preacher Claims Biblical
Authority for Summary Ven
geance.

A dispatch from Macon, Ca, says !:
Before a large audience in the East
Macon Baptist Church, Rev. j. D. l..
Hillyer, one OF the leading Baptist
ministers of the State, discussed lynch
law from Biblical standpoint, at
tempting to show that there was
Scriptnral authority for " Judge
Lynch. y Rev. Mr.. Hiilyer said, IN
part:
In time like this, We need to re-
member that We are servants OF the
Most High God; that He has placed
Us here in a free country, and that He
has committed TO US the making and
she execution OF the laws. 1t is I'M
possible for us 10 separate our rellg-
ious and our civil duties. The real
ground upon which capital punish
ment is inflicted, under Mosaic law, is
expiation. It is not simply to punish
the offender or TO deter others, but TO
wipe ont the guilt that would belong
TO the whole people if the crime should
go unpunished.
Our system of trial by jury was
Invented some 900 or roo years ago as
our forefafhers we're emerging from
barbarism. Then substantial Justice
was possible, and sufficiently resembled
the Mosaic to be free from serious
criticism. But that purity of jury
trial has given way to fagrant abuses.
In one way and another, trials are
DELAYED until justice is impossible.
Thus the law of God is despised, set
aside and violated. It is this which
more frequently follows than follows
quick and certin, to say nothing OF
deserved, punishment as the law OF
God requires.
S In our country, the people make
the laws. They feel that this malad-
ministration is wrong, that it does not
represent their will. Ordinarily, the
people submit, but, when one OF
those crimes crime that can hardly
be defined lis committed, the people
can not always wait. And who is to
bsanes This particular crime. under
the Mosaic Law, is punished with
death, and there seems to have been
no city Of refuge provided, but the
avsnger slew the offender wherever
found. y
Because of the prominene of Dr..
Hiliyer, the sermon has created SEN
sation throughout the State.

Game Laws of South Carolina.

There have already been number
of complaints, says the State, that the
game law is being violated. 1t is said
that the summer has been very propi-
tious to the raising of partridges and
the fields are full of young birds
which in some localities are meeting
with wholesale destruction at the
hands OF pot hunsers. In view of this
fact, it might be well for the sports
men who love sport for its own sake
to become familiar with the game
laws SO that they can prosecute pot
hunters and stop the determination OF
fedglings.
Following is digest of the game
law of 1902:
Non-residents required to pay Ii
cense of S25 to the county treasurer OF
the county where the. visitor may. be
for the privilege Of hunting in the
State. Not obtaining said license be-
fore hunting or shooting, shall be
deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and on
conviction fined not more than $50.
This act does not apply to persons who
kill game on their own land.
It is unlawful to kill deer or to
worry them with dogs between the
first day Of February and the first day
of September, except in the counties
of Clarendon, Georgetown, Colleton,
williamsburg, Marlboro, Kersbaw,
Rorry, Darlington, Marion and BeTke-
ley, in which counties it shall not be
lawful between the first day of Febru-
airy and the first day Of August. Fire
hunting is prohibited.
It shall not be lawful between the
first day of April and the first day OF
November to kill any wild turkey,
par ridge, quail, woodcock or pheasant
or between the first day of March and
the first day Of August any dove; or,
at any time during the year, to fire.
light any of the birds named.
It shall not be lawful for any per-
son, except upon his own lands, or
upon the lands of another with the
consent of the owner thereof, to net or
trap partridge, and it shall be un-
lawful for any person to sell, offer for
sale, or ship or export for sale, any
partridge, or quail, or deer, or wild
turkeys for the space of five years
from the approval of this act; provid-
ed, that nothing in this act shall pre-
vent the importation for sale of cny
partridge or quail. Any person vio-
lating this section shall be guilty OF
misdemeanor, and upon conviction
shall be punished by a fine of not ex-
ceeding $50, or by Imprisonment in
the county Jail for term not exceed
ing 80 days.

New York Alone Doubts the Rule
of Prosperity.

The New York Herald says: Merchants.
manufacturers and bankers Of all parts OF
the country, in interviews secured by the
Herald, express themselves as satisfied
that no diminut1on of national prosperity
is in sight. The only note of doubt, and
that smothered one, is heard in New
York city. Elsewhere the confidence is
shared by all.
No financial stringency is reported
save in the metropolis. From the Middle
West word is sent that the country banks
are not asking for any assistance in fur
thering the process of moving the boom
ing crops.
The steel companies are proceeding in
manner suggestive of confidence in con-
tinued prosperity.
The farmers of the South we're never so
well off, other crops besides cotton bring
ing in munifcent returns. On the Pacific
coast business is in highly satisfactory
condition, every industry reporting brisk
trade and excellent prospects.
The mercantile agencies do not report
any more failures than at the same Pc
ried a year ago. Trade journals print

various parts of the country that bespeak
an optimism almost unanimous.
No reductions in wages are reported II
any part of the country, and the stoppage
of work in New England cotton mills and
Pittsburg glass works is declared to be
merely temporary and not significant as
affecting future consumption OF finished
products.
The steady progress toward peace in the
New York building trades disturbances is
taken to indicate resumption of easier
money, for it is estimated that with 5O,,
600 men idle here all last summer at least
S5oo,0o0 in wages has been withheld every
week from circulation in channels where
the tide of cash ebbs and flows.
The transient buyers have brought more
money to New York this autumn than ever
before, an they have left more extensive
orders and taken away with them better
qualities of goods than previously. This
has tended to Offset tho undepiable dull
ness in the wholesale dry goods district
that has prevailed for some time.
