number that has ever crossed the

We never had better success in seed
ing a field to grass than when II was
done in August, without any grain or
nurse crop. We have known August
to be so dry that II was thought best
20 defer the sowing until September.
but such years are not frequent, and
when they do come there may be as
good success IN September seeding as

This Is How:

the ticket Of the Union Republican party
and the 1900 voters standing behind it.
He gave a short history of his political
career from the time he was President of
City Council to the time he represented
the city as its attorney.
Mr.. Conrad's address was a history of
the Republican party since its inception
in 1854 and he gave interesting facts of
the rise and fall of the party from that
time until the present period. Speaking
of the Democratic convention at Dover
on Tuesday he said he could not under
stand how the little city of Wilmington
was forgotten when the offices were dis
tributed. He said Kenney was the ma
chine and asked where is Ford?
He was the only speaker and the meet
ing adjourned after he finished his ad-
dress.

almost as though the assertion of the

would sell on good crop news was not
far from the mark, for while the

something fresh would be required to
stimulate offerings. But while there
was so little pressure, il was also
plain that no aggressive attempt was
being made to advance prices. During

any show whatever until a selling Of

DEMERE & HAMMOND's
Daily Cotton Letter from New
York.

New York. Aug. 4.-Strong efforts
were made to rally Liverpool from the
sharp depression of the early morning,
but they were only partially successful.
This did not deter the local bull inter
ests. which was suspected of being be-
hind the buying movement in Liver
pool. from giving this market constant
support throughout the day, thus caus-
ing il to close 3 to points higher than
yesterday prices. From this the world
is supposed to draw their conclusions
that yesterdays bureau meant moth
ing, and that its influence should be
regarded as already passed. The plan
of campaign seems to be to hold the
market at about present level day by
day until complaints of damage arise,
which by industrious circulation, can
be made to scare out the new short
interests. which has recently come into
the market. New cotton though IN
small quantities is beinnng to enter
into the daily run OF business. Offer
ings have been made from Georgia for
shipment from Savannah by Aug 20. in
time for delivery I'm New York on Au-
gust contracts and from Texas for de-
livery IN New Orleans by August %
Both these dates are however. con-
sidered far enough ahead TO permit of
a successful movement to run in shorts
and to unload present holdings before
new cotton can become a weight on
the market. Present bulls may be
found strenuous bears ready TO make
active use of the brilliant crop out
look to bring about the decline so long
overdue. Liverpool is due to come 3
to up tomorrow.

TIFToN TO HAVE BOND ELECTION
To Decide on Bond Issue for school
Building and WaterwOrks.

To Decide on Bond Issue for School
Building and WaterwOrks.
Triton, Ga. Aug. At is almost a
certainty now that within a short time.
Triton will have a modern brick school
building, and a complete system of
waterworks.
This state of affairs was made pos
sible by a few conference last week,
at which mutual concessions were
made, and several conflicting inter
ests harmonized. Agreements made
then. being practically ratified by the
City Council. A $4,000 bond issue was
regarded too heavy burden to put on
taxpayers at once, and Mr.. H. II. Tiff
suggested that a 100000 issue be adj
vertised that $4,000 be used for
erecting a school building and $4,000
for laying water mains of the city.
AS Mr.. Tiff already has a plant in
operation sufficient to supply the city's
needs for several years, he offered to
furnish the city with water at a rate
as low, or lower. than the city could
furnish Il. for term of five years. At
the end of that time, the city would
be in a position to put in plant of
it's own, or he would sell his at d
rate to be agreed upon by a board
of arbitration. 1t is a practical GER
tainy that the proposition will be &C
cepted.

Daily Cotton Letter from New
York.

Daily Cotton Letter from New
York.
New York, Aug. AT the lowest
point this morning the market showed
a net loss of Fac points. At the best
point it was 365 points higher. with
prices in the early afternoon within a
point or two of the best. This we
think shows surprising steadiness, TAX
ing everything into consideration, and
indicates is a matter of prime impor
lance that about every one who cares
to sell has sold. for offerings this morn
ing have not been aggressive, in spite
of the lower cables, generally favor
able weather condition over the South,
and rumOrs that the bulls had over
bought i'm the effort to support prices
yesterday. This morning the bulls have
supported on dips, but sold on all
slight advances, keeping their commit
ments we'll evened up to their last
nights average and have found no diff
ficulty in keeping control Of the stu
alton. Five or six prominent floor OPP
orators stand around the ring as mute
as clans. and the minute a selling
order comes in they all jump at it.
There is an instant of Clamor. and the
market relapses into dizziness, with
prices right where they started.
OF course, we believe that with crop
accounts like this and the new crop
at hand, prices will eventually work
lower. It is a good time to go eau
tiously, with an eye for developments.
