Cotton Company Case.
New York. Sept. s.-Charles f. Kim
bali of Summit, N. J., and William C.
Lowering, Taunton. Mass. to-
day were appointed receivers
for the American Cotton Com
pany for the New York district by
Judge Lacombe. in the United States
Circuit Court. The New Jersey courts
yesterday appointed the same men re-
ceivers with bonds of 5000 900. The ap-
pointment of to-day is to enable the
receivers to handle the assets and bust
ness of the company in this state.
The American Company was organ
lied with a capital of $4,000. 900, which
was later increased to $1,000 900. It's
difficulties are attributed in the papers
of the petitioning creditor and stock
holder, Frederick Y. Robertson. to a
lack of sufficient capital. The COM
pany owns or controls nearly 200 cot
ton and ginning plants.
Nearly 81, 1000 900 of liabilities will ac-
crue next month. and the papers filed
say the company is without funds to
meet them.

RATHER IN A BEER CASK
The Kind Of Snakes They Found in
VaIdOsta Beer.

Valdosta, Ca, Sept. s-A clerk in
the Windsor saloon yesterday found
a ground rattlesnake coiled up in the
straw in which a cask of beer was
packed. He was carrying the beer to
shelf in his arms and when he re-
turned after the second or third arm
full he found the reptile coiled on
clump of the grass, poking out its
tongue at him. The snake was about
eighteen inches long How it got into
the cask of beer is a mystery, though
it is supposed that it was in the grass
in which the beer was packed. The
snake was captured and was placed
on exhibition in a large bottle.

lance in solving IL. We see the scrub
oak growth s~pringing up p~rofusely in
this section as the succeeding forest tree
where the pine had not long ago n
monopoly. There Is no more familiar
sight than the complete substitution o.
this now well known scrub a for all
other trees on the sand hills. The ques-
ton is did this scrub oak grow up from
roots or from acorns and IL from acorns
where did the needed acorns come from
for such large and dense forests We
have not seen with our eyes nor found
anybody who has ever seen many
acorns on a scrub oak tree. The acorn
theory Is unsatisfing. The root theory
is no solution either. Roots OF
such growths imply that We had these
trees here before whereas they are en-
tirely new. Where did these scrub oaks
come from anyway, is the question.

IMMENSE CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

1T is a desperate battle the two politi-
clan parties are waging in New York
state. Tt is predicted that a big vote
will he polled there and, in fact, in all
the states which are classed as doubt
full. The campaign funds are tremen-
dous too. The Charlotte Observers
New York correspondent sends his pa
per the following regarding the money
being raised for the campaign:
New York. october 6.-It is expert
political opinion that a larger amount
of money will be expended in this state
during this campaign thar has been
used in any election that has hitherto
been held in the state, whether nation
al or gubernatorial. At the last elec-
ton, the republicans are credited with
having used something k $3.50, 900,
while it Is not believed the democrats
were able to procure more than $50, 900.
Already the democrats have several
times that amount subscribed, with the
distinct understanding that every dol
lar OF 1t Is to be used in New York.
1t is said that some corporate inter-
ests in this city that necessarily had
dealings with Tammany, from time to
time, had let down liberally, while sew
eral hundred individuals had contrib
NNA ~ IN @oAo "1kh &AS
understanding that the money was to
be used to bring about the defeat OF
"Odellism". Democratic lawyers here
a subscribed a large amount, and
the writer heard the assertion made
that the democratic state committee
now had available something like $780,
600, with the campaign hardly begun.
1t is generally believed to be true that
Governor Odell has asked the republic
car national committee for about $780,
900, and it is taken for granted that
Mr.. Odell's state committee will duplf-
cate the amount. Some there are who
profess to believe that the republican
campaign fund for exclusive use in the
Empire state will approach pretty close
to the two million mark, for the pres1-
dent wants to carry his state, and
Governor Odell is seeking just that sort
of vindication. The impression has
gone abroad that apathetic conditions
prevail everywhere. There was a lot
of complaint about general apathy" In
Maine, but a big vote was polled there.

SECRETARY SHAW'S ELECTION
PREDICTIONS.

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw has
made his forecast of election results.
He gives the democrats the solid south
Roosevelt the solid republican states
and adds to them Connecticut, Della
ware, Indiana, New Jersey, Rhode Is
land and Wisconsin. The other states
he places in the doubtful column. His
calculation gives Mr.. Roosevelt two
hundred and hfty-four votes out Of the
four hundred and seventy-six in the
electoral college. We suppose Mr.. Shaw
talks in this way to keep up the cour-
age Of the men of his party. He knows
it would not do for him to give to the
public a correct statement OF the stu
alton. Wisconsin should certainly be
placed in the doubtful list. The recent
supreme decision on the question
of the ticket almost insures the cleo
ton of the LaFollette state ticket.
What its effect will be on the national
ticket annot be predicted, but it is
certain to be of considerable advantage
to the democrats. According to Mr..
Shaw's figures Mr.. Roosevelt's MAORI
ty will he seventy-two, against Mr..
McKinley's of one hundred and thirty
seven -four years ago. Take New York's
thirty-nine votes from what Mr.. Shaw
gives Mr.. Roosevelt and add it to what
he says will be Judge Parker's vote
and it will make the figures two hum
dred and sixty-one for the latter and
two hundred and fifteen for h repub-
lican candidate. This is much nearer
what the result will be than Secretary
Shaw's figures.

"a point of order sustained prevented
a discussion in the house of deputies
of the general council of the Episcopal
church on the action of Bishop
Potter in the opening Of the Model sa-
loon. Hon. j. C. Buxton, of Winston,
a delegate to the council from the do
cese of North Carolina, introduced a
resolution criticising the bishops ac-
ton. A Boston delegate raised the
point of order that the house of deputies
could not criticise the conduct of a
member of the house of bishops. II
Bishop Potter still thinks his action ON
the occasion of opening the saloon was
right we should think he and his sup
porterS would invite fair discu ssion
of the question rather than to cut it off
by parliamentary tactics. This looks
like they are afraid to let the members
of the council express their views on
the subject.
