Cotton Letter.

New York. June 17.-Both December and
January cotton broke through ten cents
today. The movement of the old and new
crops appeared to be in opposite dlrec.
tons. The next crop has been advanced
to a price sufficiently attractive to induce
heavy short selling, and 1t may be that
from now on the old and the new crops
will part company. 1t Is reported that
ten thousand bales Of cotton have been
purchased by Philadelphia interests IN
Lowell and the cotton IS to be taken 20
New Orleans for delivery on contracts.
As the Philadelphia people own large
share Of the cotton here in New York.
which will undoubtedly be delivered on
July contracts, the purchases of cotton
throughout the country for delivery on
the Southern market, seems to indicate
that the New Orleans people VIII meet
with opposition in what now appears to
be an effort to obtain control OF the cot
ton supply of the country during the re-
mainder of this season Our attitude on
the new crops continues to be the same
that we have expressed since October
passed 934c. 1t may be, OF course, that
the country is in for another failure OF
the cotton crop this year. but it is alto
gether too early to come to that decision
in the month of June. A great many Of
the conservative operators on the floor
say they would not be surprised if the
prices reached on Monday represented tue
high level for great many weeks to
come. The short interest in the new
crops has been pretty well eliminated dut-
ing the recent advance. and as soon as the
crop gets good start and the Southerner
begins his usual hedging against the
growing cotton, the weight at ten cents
a pound will be rather severe.
Cotton futures ranged as follows:

industrial enterprises. All over the
South to-day are being held great in
dustrial, educational, charitable and ag-
ricultural and horticultural conven-
lions that make this fact as clear as
the monday sun. The marble and
granite and coal and iron and gold of
Georgia and Alabama and sister states
now go to all parts of our happily re-
united country. A dozen years ago
this era of great prosperity and devel-
opment was in it's infancy. The first
great convention of the u. c. V. was
held in Chattanooga, Tenn, in July,
1890. The Daily Times issued SOU
venir edition with an elaborate colored
cover. The second page of this cover
was given up to a fine cartoon of Col.
B. W. Wrenn, general passenger agent
Of the East Tennessee Virginit and
Georgia Railway, who was a boy Con-
federate soldier in the battles around
that city, and who at the convention
was a colonel on Gen. John b. Cor
don's staff. He is represented as stand
ing on a marble and granite pedestal,
with coal and iron mines and furnaces
in the background, but his extended
hand points with pride to the "Old
South's" industries-the cotton planta-
tons, the rice fields, the sugar cane
mills, tobacco plantations, etc, and he
thus addresses the world on THE Col
den Era of the South" in prophetic
words: Gentlemen, we are at this
moment standing at the gateway that
leads to the South. The wealth that
is there, hidden no longer from hui
man eyes, flashes in your very faces.
You can smell the fragrance of the
roses of new hopes that fills the air.
You can hear the heartbeats of pro-
gress that come as upon the wings
of heaven. You can reach forth your
hand and almost clutch the gold that
the sun rains down with his beams
as ne takes his daily Journey between
the cotton fields and the coal mines;
the highlands of wood and iron CT
marble and granite; the lowlands of
tobacco, sugar and rice, of corn and
kline; of wines, milk and honey" A
dozen years have rolled on since Col.
Wrenn made that prophetic and COM
prehensive little address, and to-day
its bright fulfllment is seen on Savan-
nah's crowded wharves, in Atlanta's
wonderful growth, in the great coal,

Speed Madness Induces BOastfuI-
ness, Hatred and Violence.
From the Horseless Age.
The conviction is gaining ground
among scientific men that indulgence
in extraordinary speeds of transition
voluntarily controlled breeds in the
human species a form of disease capa-
BILE of development to the degree of
delirium. The disease Is generally re-
ferred to as the speed craze or speed
mania. BY a rather strange coinci-
dence a discussion of this subject took
place at the Societe de Hydrologic ct
de Psychologist, in Paris, only a few
days before the tragic death of Zbor-
owski. One of the speakers, a DR..
Hachet-Souplet, maintained that per-
sons in position to increase their speed
of transition at will are simply carried
away by the consciousness thereof
They have no longer control of them
selves, they are intoxicated. They then
develop chara cteristics which are for
eign to them when in the normal state
-boastfulness, combativeness, crab
bedness, hatred, mischievousness and
violence. These characteristics vary in
fern and degree, but may attain
maximum in the cyclist and automo-
bilist.
According to DIR. Berillon, there is
a strong analogy between the delir-
ious intoxication of speed and that of
morphine. Those who indulge in alb
normal speed simply for its own sake
and without any useful object in view
are mostly degenerates, devoid of all

The friends in Savannah Of Miss Mary
Talbot Henderson of Troy, Ala, will
regret to learn of the death of her
mother, Mrs. Nettie Talbot Henderson,
daughter of Mrs. Mary Talbot, whose
husband, Capt. Bailey M. Talbot, and
her brother-in-law, Maj. Shep. Ruffin,
fell in the battles around Atlanta while
calamity leading their commands into
action. Capt. Talbot left two children,
Mrs. Henderson and Bailey M. Talbot,
a leading merchant in Troy to-day, and
they were reared and educated with
great care by devoted Christian
mother. Nettie became young wom-
an of many sterling qualities and mar

one, and their elegant home was made
more attractive by the presence of three
lovely children, Mary Talbot, and Hell

stricken father and beloved grandmoth-
er, are left to mourn the loss of one
who as daughter, sister, wife and
mother. was a model in all respects
Thirty years ago, although ! had been
a Union soldier, 1 was a member of
the family of Mrs. Ruffin and Mrs.
Talbot, and / can bear full testimony
to the faithful and devoted manner in
which those Confederate soldiers wild
ows took up their double burdens of
parentage and reared their fatherless
children to be useful and honored men
and women. And this was one of the
sad legacies of the Civil War, and fol-
lowed long years of hardship and anxi-
ETY. while husbands and fathers were
absent in the army. We speak of the
heroic conduct of such wives during
that period, but we seldom refer to the
later years of heroic endeavor and con-
slant struggle of those who were made
widows by the war, to rear and edu-
cate properly the boys and girls left
fatherless to their care. Among the
noblest women and most useful men
in the New South" to-day will be
found the sons and daughters Of these
widows of Confederate heroes. Mrs
Nettie Talbot Henderson, who, at the
age OF 43 years, has just gone TO her
heavenly reward, was a bright example
