MIssIssIPPPs HIGH WATER.
Father of Waters Promises Il
Break All Records.

Father of Waters Promises to
Break All Records.
The lower Mississippi valley, from
Cairo to the Gulf, now recognizes that
it may face the highest water ever
known in the Mississippi river. There
has been no high water since 1897,
when the maximum of three and a
half feet above the danger point was
reached at New Orleans and sandbags
had to be placed on the levees to pre-
vent the water from running over into
the streets.
River experts believe that the high
water record Of 1897 will be broken at
Memphis, and at places as far south as
Vicksburg, in consequence Of the COM
pletion of the st. Francis levees, pro-
tecting the st. Francis Basin Of Arkan-
sas from overflow. These are the last in
the line of Mississippi river levees to
be constructed, and for the first time
in history the entire district along the
Mississippi river from Cairo down is
protected from overflow.
Heretofore the st. Francis Basin has
acted as safety reservoir in which a
large amount of flood water was stored
up. This prevented the flood from
reaching its worst, but at the same
time it made it's duration much longer.
The closure of this immense reservoir,
covering many thousand square miles,
has already caused the river to rise a
foot and half over the danger line at
Memphis and two feet at Helena, Ark,
overflowing all the lowlands outside of
the levees. The river has reached the
danger point at Vicksburg and is half
a foot above it at New Orleans.
The Louisiana state engineers antic-
ipate no danger from high water
There was no damage done in 1897 at
the time Of the last flood and since
then all the weak levees have been
strengthened or rebuilt and the levees
throughout the state raised three feet
higher.
The engineer of the Yazoo Miss,
levee district Of Mississippi takes a
reassuring view Of the situation. All
the levees along the Yazoo front of
Mississippi are in good condition he
says, except three and half miles in
Seneca county upon which the engin-
GERS are at work. Steamboat men

CRUM RE-APPoINTED.-The president
on Thursday sent to special session of
the Fifty-eighth senate the nomination
Of the Negro Cruim, as collector of the
port of Charleston, S. c., the first ap-
pointment of Crum having been render
ed invalid by the failure of the last
senate to confirm it.
The presidents act is nothing more
nor less than reaffirmation Of his for
mer insult and outrage of the senti-
ments Of the best people Of the south
and fragrant disregard Of their earn
est and continued protests against the
presidents comfort and aid to the Ne
gro domination.
Waite Republican had applied for the
job recently, but Roosevelt took no no
tice of his qualifications for the place.
The senate committee on commerce,
to which the appointment Of Crum will
be referred, may not report unfavora-
bly, on the confirmation now. One of
the Republican committeeman, who
voted with the Democrats against con-
firmation, Jones, of Nevada, has retir-
ed, and the Republican who will be put
on the committee in his place may vote
for confirmation, thus destroying the
former majority against Crum.
However, Senator Clay and Senator
Tillman will keep up the fight to the
very last and may again succeed in de-
feating the appointment. The whole
case will be rehearsed before the COM
mittee when the case comes up.-Wash-
ington special to Atlanta Journal.

BULLS AND BEARS.
They Are Having a Battle Roya
Over Price OF Cotton.

They Are Having a Battle Royal
Over Price Of Cotton,
The battle between the bulls and the
bears on the New York cotton ex-
change during the past few weeks, has
been an event Of absorbing interest to
the cotton dealing world, and from all
appearances the grand climax Is yet to
come.
Daniel J. Sully, the hitherto obscure
Providence, r. l., man who has sud
denly leaped into prominence by reason
Of his remarkable profits as the result
Of recent advances in cotton, Is leader
Of the bull forces, and Theodore H.
Price, long identified with the bull In
terests, and known in the market here
tofore as one Of the most daring bulls
on the cotton exchange, is the accepted
leader Of the bears.
It will be remembered that two years
ago the house of Price, Mccormick &
Co., failed for about s15,O0O,000. 1t was
because Price had overloaded himself
with cotton in the belief that it would
go higher. Cotton declined to point
where Price was unable to margin his
holdings, and the bottom dropped out,
leaving the firm bankrupt. Within
week or two afterward the market soar
ed upward and remained there, proving
that Prices judgment had been correct;
but that the opposing interests were too
fo, ~, %ha
At the beginning Of the present cam
paign Price was a bull along with Sui
ly; but when July cotton reached 10
cents, Price began selling. and contin-
ued to sell until he had netted a profit
Of about $5,OOO,0 900. Sully however, per-
sisted in buying more, and Is still buy
ing. At one time he had several mil
lions of profits on paper, and on paper
he Is still ahead; but it is question as
to whether his side will finally win or
lose.
Up to Tuesday it looked as If the bull
crowd under Sully, had everything their
own way. March and May optiens
opened at 1925 and 1887 respectively;
but on Wednesday the bears had made
some headway. March opened at 10.17
and May at 9.99. Sully stood his
ground, taking $4,000 more; but outsid-
ers grew nervous under the heavy on
slaught of the bears, and began selling,
and prices for March dropped to $50
and for May to 9.88. The bears contin-
ued to get the best Of it during Thurs
day forcing May down to s.63. although
at the close the bulls were still stand
ing their ground.
Both Price and Sully are represented
as being satisfied with the present sit
uation. Price believes the market will
be forced to lower figures, while Sully
claims that March cotton will certainly
sell at Is cents.

COLOR LINE IN WAsHINGToN.-Durin
the last few days the ladies gallery
in the house has been opened to Ne
groes.
This has never been the case before,
and the innovation at this time, when
the Negro question is so prominent IN
the newspapers, is considered signifi-
cant.
The gallery in question Is the one to
the left of the press gallery.
1t is reserved for women and their es-
corts, and when the gallery Is not FULL
men of respectable appearance who
have no women with them are some
times admitted. Negroes have never
heretofore been admitted.
In some way it has apparently be-
come known among the Negroes of
Washington that the ban has been ta-
ken off so far as the gallery Is con-
cerned, and they have been patronizing
it very extensively. Many Of them have
come without bringing women with
them. Parties of three or four have
been entering the gallery.
Today there were more of them In
the ladies gallery" than in the gal
leries usually occupied by them.-

A WRITER in the Augusta Chronicle
takes the ground that there Is no dan
ger Of glutting the cotton market with
the next crop for the reason that it
will take 1900, 900 bales to reduce the
price to cents. and even If 12,OOO.OOO
bales should be raised, it cannot all be
gathered. There is some plausible
foundation for such rosy view OF the
situation; but still it will be well
enough for every farmer who raises
cotton to be sure and plant enough
corn to feed his stock, etc. The south
cannot do a more foolish thing than
to get into the same old rut from which
It had to look to the west for bread
and meat.

SENATOR Tillman held the govern
ment up for $47,245 for the benefit OF
South Carolina last Tuesday. 1t was
a claim Of the state against the Federal
government on account Of certain ex-
penses incurred during the war Of 1872
and 1915. There is a law under which
such claims, properly approved, may be
paid. This claim had been investigated
by authorities operating under that law
and this authority found that after
considering offsettihg claims, the UNI
ted States government owed the state
Of South Carolina 81 cents, under the
laws governing legislation, no appro-
priation can be made except upon
majority vote of both houses; but there
is an expediency rule providing for leg
islation by unanimous consent. 1t
was during the last hours Of the ses-
sion. The house had already declined
to agree to the appropriation Of the
sum demanded by Senator Tillman.
Differences between the house and
senate on legislation is settled In COM
mittee of free conference. 1t is the
rule here for the house which has pro-
posed legislation Objectionable to the
other house, shall recede in the event
of disagreement. The senate allowed
Senator Tillman's amendment provid-
ing for the appropriation in question as
a matter Of courtesy. If the house
had agreed it could have been all right.
When the matter came up in free con-
ference, however, the house declined to
agree. Senator Tillman had the floor
Of the senate when he heard Of the
hitch. He had so arranged the matter
beforehand. Promptly upon receipt OF
the information, he announced his
programme. The general appropriation
bill and the general deficiency bill re-
mah,ed to be acted upon, and unless
they passed then extra sessions Of the
house and senate would be necessary.
He declared the evident fact when he
explained that he could easily hold the
floor until the next day, and he an
nounced that unless there was an
agreement as to his legislation, he
would do so. The house conferees saw
that unless they came to an agreement
the cost to the government would be
many times the amount of this bill and
the Inconvenience to themselves would
be very great, so they yielded. Thus
Senator Tillman secured the appropria-
ton. The incident argues a bad state
Of affairs all around. We are not pre-
pared to say what was real justice un-
der the circumstances. If South Caro-
lima Is entitled to this money she
should have it, and If she is not enti-
tied to it, the conferees should have
taken the threatened consequences
rather than yielded. However, just or
unjust this bill may have been, the cir
cumstance shows that an unjust and
dishonest appropriation could be forced
through by exactly the same means.
