Is THERE TOO MUCH COTTON,
Comments on GoverBment's Estimate
by Trade Organ.

The American Cotton Manu- u'actursr,
of Charlotte, N. c., writes as follows Of
the Governments IL, 162. .000- bale esti-
mate:
On the hasty assumption that the es-
innate meant oyer-produc,ion, prices
slumped materially Saturday and Mon
day. A calm examination of the other
side of the case reveals no real cause
for such a recision. 1t is conceded that
the cr>p this year was an early one,
and that somo 300 900 bales were mar
keted In August In spite of this, the
visible supply of American cotton on
the 4th of September, this year, was
354, 1896 bales less than on the same
date the previous year, and this in face
OF heavy curtaiiment of production
by the mills. Add this 054,396 bales
and worldwide short-time movement
equivalent to not less than 1000, coo
bales, plus new mills and extensions,
which will use at least an extra 100000
bales this year - to the total crop of
last year, and it will be seen that to-
tai of IL. l7S,0S2 bales will be required
this season to keep the mills in opera
tion.
Ii prices do not rule abnormally high,
the mills will probably take COZ sidera-
bly, more than their actual require
ments to replenish their very low re-
serve stocks for they were undoubtedly
bare of cotton at the commencement of
this crop year.
1t is safe TO say that the normal in
visible supply, consisting OF cotton in
mill ware houses and manufactured
goods in the process Of distribution, is
from two to three million bales below
that required to preserve legitimate
balance between producer and con-
sumer.

Brother Bob and THE ADVERTISER
are together on the cow question.
There is never an reproduction of
beef In this country. The man who
raises beef in South Carolina suffers
no hurt from the beef trust and is in
dependent of it. Col. j. Wash Watts
is sound on the goat question and many
men who have failed to act upon his
advice are the poorer in consequence
We have not heard from Hon. A. j.
Smith on the subject of sheep but we
are waiting.
Meanwhile, next year the wise wo-
men in Laurens county will raiee tur-
keys and more chickens.
What tho farmers should recognize
is that they have twice as good home
market for produce as they had few
years ago and those who neglect to
utilize its opportunities will have
mostly themselves TO blame.

INTEREST IN LIQUOR CASE,
Pope D. Mekinnon on Trial in Bangor
Court.

Bangor, Nc, March S.-(SpcciaD. The
February criminal terms of the supreme
court, reconvened. this morning, Justice
Savage presiding in place of Justice Pow
ers.
The first case for trial during the term
was an indictment for maintaining d Ii
quCr nuisance against Pope ID. Mckinnon
and Henry Hayes. DemurrefS were filed
by counsel for Hayes on the several
cases against him. The Indictment also
included Eugene Hayden, but he has not
been appreiended.
non. The Globe Hotel has been searched
many times and liquor has been found
there by the officers. The fact of the
sale is therefore not disputed. Mckin-
mons contention is that he sold the hotel
to Henry Hayes. last March, and is there
fore not responsible for what happened
there since Nearly 20 witnesses were
called. today, the entire testimony being
directed at this one point of ownership.
Mckinnon on the stand, denied that he
owned the building, yet admitted that he
held the lease and insurance in his own
name and had since the date of the al
legged sale given two mortgages on the
anteeing that he was the owner. This is
the first actual trial of a liquor case in
Penobscot county for many years and is
arOusinG great interest, as ii is believed
to have an important bearing on the Ii
quor question in general. There was
something of a sensation in the crowded
court room when Hayes, who is under
term, admitted that he had sold liquor in
the Globe Hotel.
The McKinnon trial will probably con-
tinuc through tomorrow.

London, March 9.-The Far Eastern
news published here continues to be
most meagre. The dispatch of Vice
roy Alexieff adds practically nothing
to the accounts of the VladivostOck
bombardment contained in previous
reports.
Tuesdays dispatches from Toxic
make no mention of the rumor that

has been engaged, and the Toxic cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph,
cabling on the night of Tuesday, March
s. says:
mo details have yet been received
of the fight at V!adivostock."
The whereabouts of the VladivostOck
squadron is still unknown and it would
appear to be quite unlikely that a naval
battle has occurred.
The sending of Marquis Ito on Il mis-
sion 10 Corea is regarded here as the
most significant news of the day, and
is believed to indicate virtual pro-
te"tOrate over Corca, which will be-
come the Japanese military base and

STORY OF GEN. FORREST.
How That Interesting Warrior Con-
 vlnced an Alabama Judge.

 William E. w. Yerby of Greensboro in
 the New York Sun.
 l note that you have recently printed several articles in regard to the late Gen N. B. Forrest The General was well known in this community, having spent much of his time here In the ear ly 70s. He was a man of many admir- able traits of character, and one who was very determined to accomplish any thing he undertook.
 The object of this article is to relate an incident that transplred in the Pro bate court of Hale county (of which Greensboro is the county seaD soon after the close of the war between the states --in 1s69 l believe.
 Gen. Forrest was very largely instru- mental In the building of the railroad passing through Greensboro. II was then known as the Selma Marion and Memphis road, and now constitutes the Akron branch of the southern Rail- way
 An election was held to pass on the question as to whether hale county should issue bonds to aid in the con Rtruction of the road. and it was decided in the affirmative. The bonds were duly printed but. the probate judge of the county refused to sign them as required by law Gen. Forrest employed an able attorney and demanded to be heard in the probate court in reference to the matter
 A session of the court was called. the probate judge took his seat on the bench and the generals lawyer arose and made n very learned and exhaustive argument on the subject of the judges duty to sign the bonds.
 In the course of the argument the at
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-07-31

torney had used many high-sounding phrases-such as "nune pro tune ''nolens, volens," amicus curiae, etc The judge, who, by she way, was not a lawyer, seemed to get very angry as the lawyer indulged in these Latin phrases. At the conclusion of the lengthy argument the judge said in very determined manner, addressing the plaintiffs attorney
 Sir I don't give a damn about your nunc pro tunes. your nolens yoleses or your amicus curs. l am not going to sign them bonds!"
 This announcement aroused the anger of the lawyer, and he jumped up and started for the judge, who quickly reached under his desk and pulled six shooter and held it on the astonish ed limb of the law
 As quick as a flash Gen. Forrest, who was sitting near the judge, grabbed the pistol from his hand. caught him by the collar, dragged him rom the bench and very quietly said;
 Wall Jedge. l don't care a damn tune nolens nolens or amicus curi; you are going to sign 'em Come along in here with mer' And the general led the judge into an ante-room, where they re- mained about half an hour. When they came back into the court room the judge was smiling and at once signed the bonds
 What took place in that little private conference between Gen. Forrest and the judge will never be known.
