1t is added that the gathering
season has been exceptionally fine
in all sections and the crop thus
far has been secured in good con-

account of urgent demands from
spinners, who carried over very
small stocks into the new cotton

In connection with this estimate
of the New York firm of IL, 800,

A. j. Wick of the firm of Hayward
Vlck & Co., leading cotton deal
ers of New Orleans, while in the
city yesterday stated that he did
not believe the cropI would be
over II, ,25O,O00 bales, and that
in view of this indication the price
should not be less than 10 cents.
A special telegraphic canvass
made by The Journal of Com.

crop of II, ,275, 900 bales. These
three estimates seem to be un-

Murders Of His Brothers.

Macon, Ga, November 90
Additional reports of the tragedy
in Tatnall County, Georgia Sat
urday, in which A. j. Edwards
was killed and Coy Edwards hea-
ten by the negro Davis, say that
the wife and mother of the two
men notified Eugene Edwards of
the occurrence when he returned
from hunting trip.
He started in pursuit of the
negro, catching him just as the
negro got even with y man nam
ed Wray who was driving a wag
on. Edwards fred, the load
striking the negro, who returned
the fire. The negro lodged be-
hind the horses head andEdwards
behind the tail of the wagon.
With Wray ducbing between
them, they fired as they caught
sight of each other. Edwards
was wounded in the face by a
splinter Knocked from the wagon
body by one of Dsvls's bullets,
bat the boy kept firing and re-
loading, using bird shot. Not
until the third load struck the
negro did he reel and stagger to
the roadside, whereupon the boy
ran to him and emptisd both bar
rels Of his gun into his body.
Then he jumped upon the ne
groes body and stamped out any
life that rem aimed.
A great crowd gathered and
wanted to burn the body of the
negro and lynch his family. A
counsel ef cousins of the Edwards
family prevented this however
though the crowd was particular

that Davis was from Bullock
County, where he had belonged
to an allegei "Before Day Club"
that was said to have brought
about the murder of the Hodges
family and the burning of then
home.
