Heavy Decline in Cotton.

last year. The statement proved bet
ter than generally expected, and was
followed by a rush of liquidation that
carried prices off sharply. Earlier in
the day the market had shown declin-
ing tendency and prices at noon were
about 6 to Is points lower. In less
than ten minutes after the report was
read, September sold at II. Ii, Octo-
ber at 1920, December at 9.95 and
January at 992, these being net losses
of from IL to 26 points. Then realiz-
ing by early sellers relieved the strain
and led to sight recoveries, with the
market very irregular and unsettled.

Bennettsville, Sept. "a we'll dress
ed woman has been here during the

description lead many to believe that
she is the same woman who has been
travelling over North Carolina on a
begging tour, giving different stories
of misfortune in the many towns sho
visited.
She made insulting remarks to sew
eraJ people here who refused to give
her anything. At one of the hand
soonest residences in town, where live
cultured and wealthy family, she
found the lady Of the house in hot
weather attire and the men at work at
the barn. Looking up at the house
she said: "Looks like common people
live here; thought they We're genteel
people,
The lady, who is the embodiment
of kindness and generosity, paid no
attention to the insulting remark and
gave the woman a quarter. AS she de-
parted she asked, care there any rich
people around here, or are they all
common people?' She succeeded in
collecting several dollars and moved
on TO some other unsuspecting town.

ATTEMPT to Lynch in illinois.

Shawneetown, ILL.,, Sept. IA mob
of fifty masked men went to the jail
here early this morning and demanded
that Jailer Galloway turn over to
them John Griffin, colored, who was
under arrest for an attempted assault
on Mrs. Joseph Hobbs, white wo-,
man, near her own home. Griffin had
been frightened away by the woman's
screams and had been arrested a short
while afterward.
When the mob demanded that Jailer
Galloway turn the negro over to them,
Galloway armed himself and, after rea-
soning with the men from the Jail
door, he warned them that an effort to
force the jail would be at their own
peril. The mob, in spite of the jailer's
words, made several Intellectual at
tempts to break down the jail door,
finally dispensing about daylight.
Many of the colored people are tax.

them have, in fear OF a race riot, left
the town.
No trouble has followed the visit of
the mob to the Jail this morning, but
preparations are making to take the
negro to Carmi for Safekeeplng.

WEALTH IN our SWAMP LANDS.

does not speak well for the progress

CARTER WILL SOON Be OUT.
Convicted Army Engineer Will Be
Released November 28th.

Dispatches from LeavenWorth, Kan,
state that on November 28th next
Oberlin n. Carter, ex-captain of engi-
neers in the United States army, will
be released from the Federal peniten-
tiary. He will go free after an actual
service of three years and seven
months. He went to the penitentiary
in April, 1900.
Carter was originally under i've
year sentence, but he was held ten
months in custody as a military
prisoner at Governors Island, pending
appeals, before going to Leavenworth,
which time is always allowed in the
case Of a military prisoner, and he
gained seven months more by good
conduct. At present he is hospital
clerk and prison flower gardener,
places which he has held most Of the
time since his incarceration.
AS. the day of liberty draws near
Carter is manifesting high spirits. He
seems undecided as:to what he will
do when discharged. One of the first
matters to receive his attention will
be the suit pending in the United
States Circuit Court at Chicago,
wherein S723, ,OG0 is at stake. Property
consisting of stocks, bonds and cash,
formerly held by Garter, is in escrow,
and suit is pending to determine
whether Carter or the government
is entitled to it.
Carter feels sure 81 winning the
suit. If he wins he expects to devote
most of his time to mining engineering
and to the development of his mine
properties. Of late he has been study
ing mine engineering.
When Carter was sent to Leaven-
worth he talked much of his anxiety
for civil trial He said that he want
ed to have his case passed upon by a
competent civil court, and that on his
release he would 60 to Savannah and
demand trial at once Of late be has
not been talking this way.
It is said, however, that be is very
bitter against Greene and Gaynor. and
would willingly appear in court to
testify against them. The govern
ment's extra efforts to have them
brought from Canada now is said to
be a desire to place them on trial
soon after the release of Carter.
Carteris now a trusty or first grade
prisoner. Trusty prisoners are per-
mitted to GO outside the walls on er-
rands, but Carter does not desire this
privilege. On the contrary, he would
not go outside the prison walls unless
forced to.
He would run risk of meeting
military officers whom he knew when
he was in the service. An army officer
is forbidden to recognize or speak to
Carter under penalty OF dismissal
from the service. Carter's sentence
included this order.
In his Imprisonment at Fort Leaven-
worth Carter has suffered doubly. The
military surroundings have constantly
tended to remind him of the past.
