POOLE TALKS OF PRICElNEW CASES NUMBER 8
SOME UNEAsrNEss IS CAUSED AT PENSACOLA.
Notice May Be Taken of Action Of Car- l rabeIle and ApaIachiceia Citt- sens Toward the Steamer Tarpon.

Pensacola, Fla, Sept. S.--(Speciai)-- People read the official bulletins with uneasiness this afternoon. At o'clock eight cases of fever. the largest num- Der ever given. Three are in one fam fly and have been under surveillance for several days. This was the Ket- terer family. Two cases reported to- day are negro women, one of whom weighs over 200 pounds. The affiiction of the negroes has frightened greatly other negroes. Fisher, the policeman critical condition. with not much chance for his recovery. Charles Neil, another policeman, was among the yellow fever victims of today The general cleaning up crusade has been started in the city.
 Dr. Porter. the State Health Officer. was notified yesterday of aggressive action on the part of Carrabelle and Apalachicola. Fla, citizens toward the steamer Tarpon from this city. The health officer was told that citixena, in defiance of the State health rules. had met the steamer, armed with shot guns and had warned her master, Captain Barrow, to advance at his peril. The steamer turned about and 1t Is ex- pected that she will be in port some time tonight.
 There Is every probability that somebody will suffer for this action. It Is against the laws of the State to turn back vessel holding a pratique card and this Is the case with the Tar pon. Rather than run the slightest risk of contamination with the fever Captain Barrow directed that all freight consigned to him should be ta- ken to the quarantine station, nine miles from the city proper and across the bay. This order of the captain's 's was carried out, and in spite of the fact that she was to have touched at Pensacola this was not done and the steamer made the return trip without having come up to the city at all.
 The report came to Dr. Porter yes terday in the shape of a complaint from the operators of the Tarpon line that she had been refused a landing, one dispatch saying that the dock at Car rabellc was "bristling with guns in the hands of infuriated and determined cit izens, bent upon refusing the steamer admittance to the dock" As- soon as pr. Porter was satisfied that this re- port was creditable he began to toll the Governor about 1t and last night informed Governor Broward of the cir cumstances as learned by the State health office. The Governor promised an investigation, and 1t is thought that since there was such a gross vio- lation of the health laws of this State somo action will be taken.
 There is every effort >being made to eonfne the fever to Pensacola so far as other Florida points are concerned and this is one point that the State health officer is particularly insistent upon.
 The Tarpon does a coast freight ser vice. Running from Pensacola, she touches Rt Mobile, Apalachicola, Car rabelle and other coast towns. She Is large vessel and has been in oper- ation for some years.
 c. P. Winter, who contracted yellow fever three days ago, died tonight. Three other cases were reported after dark.

ests caused his resignation in iss6. ana the paper was managed by q MT. White up to the time of pr. Minors admin istration.
 While Dr. Minor was It's editor The Messenger attracted much attention py its violent attacks upon the works or Edgar Allen Poe. Many editorials Tn The Messenger at that time character ized MT. Poe as a gambler and a drunk ard, and his works as the result or disordered imagination.
 pr. Minor was succeeded in the edi- torial chair by John Reuben Thompson, Dr. George W. Bag1ey and Frank H Alfriend. all famous literary men Of their period.
 The Messenger in spite of it's world wide reputation, was a distinctly South ern publication. it's six known editors having been Virginians, and many of its most prominent contributors resi- dents of the South. Mir. Neale has hopes of its re-establishment at some future date. and is now endeavorfng to find some prominent literary man to take charge. Dr. Minor was the fourth president of the State University of Missouri He was born in Tappahan- mock, Essex County, and was mem her of a famous Virginia family, his great-grandfather having been prom inent patriot and a personal friend of Washington. He was a graduate of the University of Virginia and of William and Mary, and prior to his connection with The Southern Messenger was one of the most prominent lawyers of Pe- tersburg, Va.
 Mir Neale has in preparation the fife of Commodore Maury, at one time head of the Smithsonian Institution here, and we'll known in scientific circles, written by Mir. Minor.

AUGUST POLICE REPORT.
Department Collected S1,592.O0 During
 the Month,


 The August report of the Police De- partment of the city of Montgomery shows that the guardians and preserv- CTS of the peace are doing a valuable work for the city. The report not only reflects creditably on the men of brass and blue from a viewpoint of arrests made, but of convictions and money collected on fines.
 During the month of August, 3l,592.05 was collected. This amount more than pays for the services of the entire day force of police and will pay one or two of the night men. The work of the special officers has been decidedly good and financially beneficial. This force Is composed of Officers Payne, Graham, Jackson and McDade and during the month they recovered and returned to the owners $340 worth of stolen prop erty. In addition to this, they worked up evidence, made arrests and secured convictions in a number of cases.
 During the month, l65 white males and fifteen white females were arr rested There were 203 negro males and forty-seven females to come under the Jurisdiction of the Police Depart ment. One hundred and seventy-five arrests were made by the day force and 2S0 by the night contingent.
 Some of the charges docketed were as follows: Assault and battery 32, arr rested on telegram 4, burglary and grand larceny 6, carrying concealed weapons 5, crazy 16, concealing stolen property 1, disorderly conduct 1S2, em ,bezzlement 4, larceny 27, quarantine or dinance 2, robbery 8. suspicion 31, Sun day law violations 10, sanitary ordi- nance 36.
 The occupations of those arrested were as follows: Cooks 19 clerks G., engineers 3, farmers 12, gamblers 2, la borers 106, lawyers 4, merchants 10. musicians 3, no occupation 67, prosti- tutes 21, thieves 20, washerwomen 29. weavers 8, walters 6.
 Sergeant Gladden. Harrison, who com piled the reports and who is considered one of the most efficient of city off, cers makes the following recommen- dation:
 There were 1,172 days of labor fur nished the Street Department for the month of August for which the Police Department gets no credit and which in the annual statement does the Police are charged with provisions, clothing, offset these heavy expenses.
 If the Police Department in this city was given credit for its work as in other cities, and all prisoners bound over to the grand jury the defendants in these cases are often held at police headquarters for days, until the detec- ttves get sufficient evidence to warrant Q conviction. The Police Department is charged with feeding. etc. and get no credit. It is nothing more than right that the county pay the city for the expenses until they are bound over by the Recorder"

 Hardly had the paper been on s ss rounds ten minutes when astute cotton buyers began saying, well, we VIII give you 10 cents today" There was no jump on wall Street. The tenants of Montgomery, however, got ID cents for their cotton

 Comparatively few of the land own CTS were seen yeatsrday but the paper will be pushed throughout the country and it Is thought that when a meeting of the landlords is held the first part of next week. many signatures of the most prominent land owners will have been sectred.

Called Down Mayor Bil.s.

There was a thrill of excitement in the City Court this morning when Re corder Laney issued orders that Mayor Bliss be brought before the court and explain why he persisted in creating a disturbance to. the extent of causing some disarrangement of the city's ma chinery of justice.
 The City Court Is held in the second story of the city hall, and at the foot of the stairway Is the battery room It was in this room that the Mayor was standing. giving orders regarding the fumigation of some premises. The or ders were given in a loud voice to a thick headed negro. and the talking being at the foot of the open stairway, disturbed the proceedings of the court very much. Several times the court sent down to have the loud talk cut out but the talking continued until the recorder sent down two officers and had those making the disturbance brought before the bar. There was home inter- est attached to the proceeding when 1t was seen that 1t was none other than Mayor Bliss and a city employe. Re- corder Laney reminded them of the dis turbance they were creating. and in IittIe more nice language told them 1t must not be repeated. The Mayor gave a very satisfactory account of why the conversation had been held and was ex- cused.

OF AGRICULTURE
 RETURNS FROM AsHEvILLE.
He Thinks Minimum Price Fixed for Staple by Cotton Association May Be Changed at Fu-
 ture Meeting.

Captain R. R. Poole, Commissioner of Agriculture, returned yesterday from Asheville, N. C., where he attended the meeting of the Southern Cotton Asso- citation.
 Captain Poole has been closely identi- fled with the association ever since the inception of the movement leading to the organization in New Orleans last January. He has attended every meet ing of the organization and said yes- terday that the Asheville meeting, which adjourned yesterday morning. gave added confidence in the stamina Of the Southern Cotton Association. He fully believes the price named by the body as a minimum for this years crop will be adhered to generally.
 DO you think the minimum price will be raised?" was asked Commits sioner Poole.
 T don't know whether it will or not. do know, though. that the price fixed in Asheviile is only temporary and 1t is likely that it will be changed at fu- ture meeting of the association. The date of the next meeting has not been fixed but the chances are that 1t will be held some time about November or December either in Atlanta or New Or leans Then the price will be altered If 1t Is seen it, for that late the cotton yield for the whole South will be off1- cially and accurately known"
 Commissioner Poole expressed his belief that about 90 or s5 per cent of this years cotton Is now open. This applies to the whole South and Is based on the observation and official reports of the Commissioner.
 It Is the idea of the subordinate or- ganizations of the Southern Cotton As- sociation in every State in the South to make their organizations more per feet in order to enforce universally the minimum price named by the Asheville meeting. The leaders of the parent body realize fully that the success of the association and the welfare of the cotton growers depends upon the fidel- ity and activity of the county and pre- cinct examinations.

 Serious Difficulty.
 Tuscaloosa, Sept. s.-(SpeciaI)-- News has been received here of a shoot ing at Holt when Win Hardin, a 19- year-old boy. shot and perhaps fatally wounded Berney Winchester. From what can be learned, it seems that the two were in an argument when. after some woTds. they engaged in a scufFie. Hardin shot twice and the second ball, a 32, penetrated WincheSters abdomen. They were attending a dance at the home of John Hardin on the opposite side of the river from Holt when the difficulty occurred. Harlin was arrest ed this morning by SheFiff Kyle. eharg- ed with assault with intent to murder. He immediately made bond. He is the youngest son of E. Hardin, one of Tus- caloosa's oldest and most substantial citizens.
 Ed Moore, young man living on Seventh Street. caused quite stir in the neighborhood where he lives late last evening when he ran his father from his home and afterwards used very abusive language to members of ly despatched and Moore was carried to the city prison.
 News has been received here from Elrod that the sawmlll owned there by the Fordyee Lumber Company was completely destroyed by fire, This mill was q large one and the loss will be total. as thsre was no insurance. IL will be immediately rebuilt.

By sheer pluck land owners of Mont gomery County yesterday made many dollars for their tenants, for the mer- chants of Montgomery and for the peo- pie of the county in general. They pulled the spot cotton market.
 Influenced by spectators on Wall Street, the spot cotton market of Mont gomery opened yesterday at g 7-S cents per pound. Court Square and the streets thereabout, for years the centre of the cotton industry of Alabama, was thronged with farm wagons, driven by anxious tenants and each containing more than one bale of cotton. The tenants wanted to sell. This Is the be- ginning of the business season. It is the buying seasons and the renters wanted money to buy their little me- cessities and the little luxuries that the opening of the season entities them to.
 On Wall Street yesterday there were a number of men who wear fashionable clothes in the morning and in the even ing. They get the fashionable clothes and the price of wine by being able to force the price of cotton down and take money away from the rugged farmers, who must sell to buy bread. They made money that way yesterday but not one cent of their gains came from Montgomery, Alabama.
 The tenants and small farmers of this county would reluctantly have sold their staple. The cotton buyers would have bought it eagerly for 7-s cents but land owners of Montgomery Coun- ty, who had tenants selling on Court Square decided otherwise. The land owners recognized that under the com bined influence of short natural crop and the acreage reduction of the South ern Cotton Growera' Association, cotton should bring into the hands of the farmer more than s7-S cents per pound. Ten cents would be the minimum for a fair price. A quick consultation was held between some of the more prom inent cotton growers. These men may have punched themselves on a curb

Famous Literary Messenger May Be

 The re-establishing of the Southern Literary Messenger, which at one time exercised a salutary influence upon American literature, was indefinitely postponed by the death of Dr. Benja- min Blake Minor, of Richmond, last month. Mir Neale, of the Neale Pub fishing Company. said yesterday that arrangements for the re-establishing of this famous old magazine were well un- der way when the death of Dr. Minor was announced.
 pr. Minor was editor and proprietor of the publication from 1s43 to lS47, having succeeded Edgar Allen Poe. He was tle only man living who had been associated with The Messenger in q high capacity, and was justly regarded as one of the most important factors in the upbuilding of this great move nnent to Southern culture
 The Southern Messenger was estab- lished at Richmond in 1884 by James E. Heath. From the time of its estab- lishment, Edgar Allen Poe was one of The Messengers contributors. and in 1sas became its editor. Other inter-
