COURT MARTIAL FINDINGS
TO BE SENT IN TO-DAY.
Severe Sentence for Capt. r.. M.
Hitch Predicted in Atlanta.

1t is expected that the findings of
the court-martial which recently sat
in Savannah to hear evidence on the
charges against Capt. r. M. Hitch,
and Lieuts. Nell, Morrison, Cone and
Griner, will be presented to the adju-
tant generals office to-day in Atlanta
and will be at once transmitted to Gov.
Terrell.
1t is probable that he will approve
or disapprove of the findings in each
particular case within the next few
days, probably by the early part of the
coming week.
kilograms sent out from Atlanta lean
to the opinion that Capt. Hitch will
receive some more serious punishment
than a reprimand, and that he will
probably be dismissed from the service
Strict secrecy is maintained by the
members of the court, and, of course,
the Atlanta public knows much less
about the doings of the court martial
than Savannah.
No developments have taken place
here to change the original forecast
of the result as made by the Morn
ing News, during and after the trial

FIRE HORSE DIED
OF BROKEN HEART.

Immediately following his transfer
from the fire department to the streets
and lanes department Bob Glass" one
of the veteran fire horses condemned
some time ago, died. The fremen say
1t was broken heart that caused his
death. Others assert that he became
disguised with the prospects of spend
ing the rest Of his life toiling like an
ordinary horse and committed suicide.
However that may be, he was found
dead in his stall yesterday morning
when the men went to feed him. He
had been sent to the city lot Tues
day and had not been put to work at
all.

REGISTRY FOR
NOVEMBER ELECTION CLOSED.
who Are Now Eligible to Vote for
President and COngressman.

VINO Are Now Eligible to Vote for
President and Congressman.
The registry books for the coming
presidential election have closed and
all who have not registered will not
be able to signify their choice for
President next month. The total reg
istration is now 5,397, figure consid-
cred as heavy for a year in which there
are no local contests to liven things
up. OF the total number, twenty-five
registered yesterday in order to get in
on the presidential contest.
Only sixty-five voters registered aft
er the state election, the total registra-
ton at that time being 1892 At the
time the primary was held the total
registration was 5,16O, making 1877 vot-
ers who have registered since the prl-
mary. The total number will probably
be swelled by an hundred or more be-
fore the city election in January.
Many questions have been asked as
to who were now eligible to vote i'll
the presidential election. All who reg
istered this year before O'clock last
night have the privilege. Persons who
were registered in time for the primar-
les or the state election have the right
to vote, as do also those who regis
tered after the state election. No more
reGistries, however, will land a voter
in the eligible list of presidential vot-
ers.
Immediately after the presidential
election, the books will open again for
the city election. Those who have reg
istered for any of the three preceding
elections are eligible for that election
Others must register sometime between
the reopening of the books and Dec.
Is, when they close again for the city
election

Unprecedented Prosperity of Ne

Mr.. Peoples said that the negroes in

richer than they have ever been in
their lives. 'All of the troopers have
done tremendously well, and with the
good price of cotton there is an album
dance of money all through the coun-
try. Even the laboring classes have
plenty of money. Wages have been
higher than former years, and many
planters are paying 60 cents per hun
bred for picking cotton, and when the
last picking is done, Is cents will be
paid. The average hand can pick from
300 to 800 pounds of cotton per day"
Mr.. Peoples said that in his section
Their is plenty of labor under
ordinary circumstances, but the fact
that nearly the entire crop, both early
planted and late, opened about the same
time, made it hard to get enough

SEVEN LOCKS
IN COTTON BOLLS
S ABNORMAL FRUITION.
MIR. II. H. PEOPLES HAS MANY ON
HIS SOUTH CAROLINA FARM.

Mr.. Peoples Has just Returned from
South Carolina and Says the Col
Ored People Have Not Been So
Prosperous Since the War-An
Cotton, He Says, VIII Have Been
Picked Out in South Carolina by
Nov. HE Has Had no Trouble in
Securing All the Labor He Needed.
Cotton bolls with four and five locks
are not uncommon. Bolls with six
locks are most unusual and never be-
fore this season have bolls with seven
locks been heard of, but they are to
be found in many localities.
Mr. H. H. Peoples, of Savannah who
is engaged in extensive cotton raising
in South Carolina, says, that he has
found any number of bolIs with seven
full sized, we'll developed locks Of cot
ton in them. The bolls are very much
larger when open than the one with
the usual number of locks in them.
Mr.. Peoples says he has been living
on a cotton plantation off and on all
of his life, and never before did he
see such a phenomena. His atten-
ton was called to several of the pro-
digies by one of his employees, and he
brought several of them back to Sa-
vannah with him. Mr.. Peoples has
not changed the seed he has been u.s.
ing for the past ten years, and attrib-
utes the excessive fruitfulness of the
cotton to the prevailing good seasons.
Many Have Finished Picking.
Mr.. Peoples said that many plant
ers in South Carolina have already fin
ished picking their cotton. There are,
he said, but few fields where there is
even any scattering cotton, and all
will be finished by Nov 1.
In all of my experience in the cot
ton raising business have never seen
a season just like this said Mr. Pee
pies. 1.-The seasons have not only been
ideal for the growth of cotton, but
have kept down the grass, and have
in no way interfered with the gather
ing Of the crop. When the cotton
picking season is over there will be
less cotton left in the fields to rot in
this section. 1 venture to say, than
ever before. The class of staple is
the best. and colors are excellent, all
the cotton having been bleached per-
