Farmers

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 80. \ Farmrs aad !
merchants throughout the eottol-pro-
ducing states, stirred up by the ire
mendous slump in prices to the lowest
point in three years, have entered into
an agreement to burn 100000 bales
of cotton rather than see the prices
pounded further down because of a
surplus of the commodity.
The farmers are indignant at the
slump and announce their readiness
and willingness to sacrifice hundred /,
of thousands of bales for the benefi
of the masses. The first bonfir,,
Wednesday was started at Fort Gaines,
where 300 bales were carted to one o.
the principal streets of the town, and
as,the torch was applied large crowd
paraded with much spectacular cere-
mony.
In several other towns similar scenes
were enacted, and it is estimated that
more than 100000 worth of cotton was
DESTROYED throughout the state. Farm.
ers are greatly worked up over the sit.
uation and it is impossible to predict
where the movement will stop.
The proposition to burn 100000
bales, with a view to prevent further
decline in the price and make if posi-
BILE an advance. is no hasty act on thu
part of the farmers. They have con
sidered the matter and have fully de-
termined on the plan. The 2,OOO,00'
bales, with 500 pounds to the bale ant
at seven dollars per hundred pounds
would amount to sacrifice of $4,000,

Watchers on shore marvel that the

been washed from the deck or rigging OF

steamer was swept by mountainous
waves that left only her funnel visible
from Fire island and Thursday the chilly
blasts had coated her sides, deck and
rigging with ice. The condition of the
steamer herself was unknown to those
on shore, but it was feared that she could
hardly be fit to live in and that the seas

crew must be extremely uncomfortable.
Sailor Swept Overheard.
The liner Yucatan, which arrived in
the Mersey from New OrleAEs, had ter
rible voyage. Heavy weather was en-
countered almost all the way across. AT
the height of the storm the quartermas-
ter, while giving orders to the deck
hands, was washed overheard. He was
seen holding up his hands in the trough
of the sea in an appeal for help, but moth
ing could be done, the deck being clean
swept by the breakers, and he was car
ried astern and speedily lost to sight.
Another Steamer in Distress.
Richmond, Va, Dec. 30.-Life-saving
crews from the Hatteras, Kennakeet and
Curds Hill stations on the North Caro-
lima coast, have just started off to the
unknown steamer stranded on Diamond
shoals. The distressed ship, with which
there has been no communication, lies
IN the same position last reported and a
portion, if not all, of the crew are sup
posed to be safe on board as torch lights
were seen burning on the steamer until
daylight Thursday. The sea is very
rough, but is going down. The vessel
is eight miles from shore.
