Eleven Million Bales Limit Of the Crop.

New York, September 14.-Reports
from the entire cotton belt the past few
days have been of such a character and
unanimity of opinion with regard to tho
deterioration of the cotton crop that con-
viction is strengthened and we feel the
necessity of sounding warning note to
the cotton world, opposing all estimates
of large yield and standing firmly by
the heretofore expressed opinion that
conditions to-day do not warrant belief
in crop exceeding IL ,OO0, 900 bales, ex-
treme maximum. There are many rea-
sons sustaining this view, aside from the
deterioration now going on, the critical
stage of the plant generally admitted,
the limited period for recovery and prox-
unity to frost; but the most potent of all
is the indisputable fact that Texas will
find 1t physical impossibility to pro-
duce in excess of 100000 bales, 80 long
as the boil weevil holds full sway and it's
ravages remain unchecked. The rest of
the country will have to yield 5000, 900
bales in order to exceed our estimate.
The most hopeful, therefore, must real
ize the seriousness of the situation for
the spinner who does not take heed and
acquire his supplies from the earliest
possible moment and on basis that will
meet his requirements for the year.

Widespread Conspiracy.

Chicago, September 12.-By the ar
rest Of eight men last night, tho whole
sale grocers of Chicago struck an initial
blow at widespread conspiracy by
which they have lost thousands of dol
lars worth of merchandise in the city.
Other arrests will be made to-day. Ac-
cording to the confession of one of the
prisoners the scheme was worked in this
manner:
For instance, a driver would take 60
bags of sugar out of the warehouse.
Then he would drive around to some re-.
tail grocer, who was "in" on the play,
and would deliver perhaps Is of the
bags to him. That done he would do
liver the other 45 to the Wholesale house.
The receiving clerk would check up for
60 sacks received and in this way the
theft would not be detected until it was
found that the stock on hand was be-
coming depleted.

Not War, but Massa ere.

The Macedonian organizations, says q
dispatch of q recent date from Sofia,
Bulgaria, are preparing memorandum
to be presented to the representatives OF
the powers, in which they will declare
that the insurgents intend to resort to
reprisals for the Turkish atrocities. The
memorandum gives detailed information
of villages destroyed and the massacre
OF their inhabitants. 1t declares that
$4,000 men, women and children have
been slaughtered and 100 villages burned.
In the list of villages given only two are
in the vilayet of Adrianople. Others are
principally in the Monastir yilayet. The
memorandum repeats the statement re-
Gently issued by the insurgent general
staff at MoDastir that the Turks, instead
of fighting the insurgents, have insti-
tuted general massacre of the Chris
tians. The organizations declare they
are issuing the present memorandum
because they are no longer able to re-
strain the bands from retaliation and
henceforward the responsibility will
rest with the great powers.

Lord Bond Case.
AT DRUG STORES.

Columbia, September 10.--The Supreme
Court has at last decided the Lord bond
case which has been before the public SO
long and has been the subject of so much
discussion in the Legislature.
The decision of the Supreme Court is
that the State Treasurer should strike
off the books about 49,, 7,O0O which it was
claimed the State owed to the former
holders of the called Lord bonds that
were either lost or destroyed during the
war.
The Legislature in 1902 passed an act
authorizing the. State Treasurer to strike
from the books claim for this money,
about $4,000. Governor MoSweeney
refused to sign the act aud it was re-
turned to the Legislature and passed
over his veto. Attorneys for the bond
people secured temporary injunction
against the Treasurer until the case
could be heard in the Supreme Court, a
point being raised in reference to the
two-thirds majority necessary to pass an
aCG over q veto.
A two-thirds vote mean two-thirds of
quorum, as the constitution in cases of
impeachment states that two-thirds of
all the members elected shall be necessary
for impeachment, bnt that in all other
proceedings the word "eleoted" is left
out, thus showing that the intention of
the trainers was that two-thirds vote on
anything else meant simply two-thirds
of a quorum.

Lack OF Rain Hurts Cotton.

Americus, Ga, September 14.-Unless
general rain comes, and that quickly,
the cotton crop of this section will be
vastly reduced from former estimates.
Already the loss sustained by the pro-
tracted drought is enormous and this is
being a sded to as each day passes with
out needed moisture for the parched
plant that lies limp and wilted under a
blazing September sun. Vast damage
has already resulted and the end is not
yet. In some Localities here there has
been no rain in many weeks. The
growth of the plant is checked, forms
have fallen OIL, the leaves are turning
yellow and bolls opening prematurely.
Even general rain now would not re-
pair half the damage wrought already,
but would relieve the situation very ma.
terially. Even the smaller CROPS show
perceptibly the effects of the parching
sun, but the greatest loss is sustained in
the damage to cotton. Already the loss
sustained will reduce the crop here seve-
raj Thousand bales, it is said.

sElFIsHNEss.

seltishness, or living for self, is
one of the many sins that is dragging
SO many people down to death and
hell. Oh, but some one says charity
must begin at home. i say 30, too.
But living for self, and not looking
out to see what we may do for
others to help them along, is not
charity. Charity is the love of God
in the heart; therefore We have to
receive it in our hearts before we can
extend charity to others. Giving
things we do not need, such as old
clothes and many other things we
could mention, is not charity.
Charity is pure love, is kind to every
one, is not selfish nor stingy, but is
always ready to lend helping hand
in every way possible to those in
need of help. Tn First Corinthians,
18th chapter, we read that charity
never faileth and is always kind.
But look at the people who claim to
be living for God that have no
charity or sympathy for those in dis-
tress or trouble and are so stingy it
is almost like taking an eye tooth to
give the weary and hungry meal,
or do an errand of mercy. We
should examine our lives daily and
see if we are living in obedience to
the commands and will of God. We
need not be afraid of doing some
kind act to comfort others. We do
not gain the favor of God by being
all for self. Just think of what He
gave for US, His only begotten Son
to die for us, and then 80 many peo-
pie not willing to give poor, worn
out pilgrim morsel to eat without
grumbling about it. 1 feel it is high
time for one and all to put on the
whole armor and live for God, 80 we
may get home to heaven. We can
not be Christian and live Just for
self. So if any who read these
lines think that let them read First
John, 3 and II, and also search the
whole book, whicL will knock all
such props from under them.

WIN Myers May 30 In Jail in Virginia.

Will Myers, murderer of Forest Crow

the exposition, may be under arrest AT
Pocahontas, Va. Chief Ball received q
letter this morning from t. f. Felts,
chief of police of Blue Fields, Va,
stating that's a DR.. Fitzgerald had confessed
to another prisoner while in jail there
that he was wanted in Atlanta, Ca, for
murder.
When searched the man had in his
possession piece of paper upon
which was written the namc of "Harry
Myers and Crowley" He is now in Jail
at Pocahontas and will be held until the
Atlanta officers are heard from.
The murder of Forest Crowley, the
well known young Roswell man, is still
fresh in the minds of Atlantians, but
there have been so many men arrested
for Myers that the public is rather
skeptioal of those who are now arrested.

The policeman tried in vain to close
the door on the crowd and keep II
closed, but even with the assistance of
the now terrified murderer it was useless.
While Mooney was thus struggling
Brimkley turned and fled from the office
by the rear door.
The mob saw the escape, and headed
by Mooney, streamed down an alley in
pursuit. The negro ran several blocks
before he was finally oyertaken. A team
ster began lashing the negro across the
face with his whip, the victim being
held by dozen men and boys. While
the mob was trying to drag the MUIR
derer away a patrol wagon arrived with
three policemen, who together with
Mooney, fought their way through the
struggling mass of men, while bricks
and stones rained on them from every
side. AT the police station Brinkley
tainted from terror and when revived
begged to be put in q cell where no mob
could get at him.

Sheriff Placed Under Arrest.

On Saturday night last, in the county
of Saluda, at the county seat, those who
ran out of their places of business upon
hearing several pistol shots, found the
body of Bob Church, negro, lying in
the street near the corner of Main and
Church streets. There was a bullet hole
through his head, and in few moments
the negro had breathed his last There
was no one in sight. A great sensation
was created on Monday evening when
the coroner's jury, which had been in
secret session since the occurrence. adj
journed and the coroner, without inti-
mating to any one the nature of the yer-
dict, walked across the street and going
into store laid his hand upon the arm
of W. Lee Rhoden, the sheriff of Saluda
county, and informed him that ne was
under arrest upon the charge of murder.
Tho coroner took him to the sheriff's
office and he is still in the custody of
that official. Having arrested the sheriff,
the coroner let it be known that he also
wanted Matt w. Berry, young man
who resided about eight miles from
town. Berry had been in town the day
of the crime and had left the morning
after. Hearing that he was wanted he
came to the county seat and surrendered
himself. 1t now transpires that the
coroner's jury rendered verdict oharg-
ing the sheriff and Berry with the crime
upon the testimony of Hope Coleman
and John Jeter, negroes, who swore that
the fatal shot was fired by Berry or
Rhoden, they could not tell which.
Coleman also swore that he heakd Berry
tell Rhoden few minutes before the
shooting that he intended to kin man
and Rhoden promised to help him. None
of the white men who were near the
scene of the crime could tell who fired
the fatal shot.

A Cough Is Only a Symptom.

A cough is not disease, but sump-
tom of disease. A cough always indi-
Gates that either the throat or lungs are
affected. When the mucus lining of the
throat or lungs becomes inflamed the ir-
ritation causes coughing. Don't neglect
a cough. 1t may be the symptom of Sc
rious throat or lung disease. Rydale's
Elixir kills the germs that cause the
trouble, soothes the irritated mucus
membrane, gently stimulates the nerves
that control the respiratory organs and
thus helps nature to speedily restore
normal conditions and healthy action.

Stomach Trouble Causes Heart Trouble.

Heart trouble is almost always caused
by stomach trouble. The stomach fails
to digest all the food, and the residue
ferments, forming excess of gas which
distends the walls of the stomach, caus-
ing pressure on the nerves and arteries
that lead TO the heart. This causes the
heart to palpitate or skip beat occa-
sionally, or both, which is usually very
alarming, causing grave approximations.
kydales Stomach Tablets will prevent
this trouble. They digest the food and
prevent gas from forming in the stomach.
If there is no gas in your stomach your
heart will not trouble you. Sold by j.
