Two Hundred thousand Bales Not
Yet Sold.

The new year has dawned with
prosperity and good feeling all over
South Carolina The cotton situation.
is serious one. but fortunately the
terrible slump came after the state
had gotten fully on its feet in a fnan-
cial sense, and the bulk of the cotton
now being held is in the hands OF
those best able to hold it. A repre-
sentative of a large cotton buying firm
was sent here from New York about
ten days ago, and he has persistently
tried to buy cotton, but ia the ten
days he has not bought over two hun
Edred bales. This shows that there is
no disposition to sell, and that the
holders do not have to sell.
The next question IS: Is the cot
ton here2
ItEcertainly is, and it is being held
for better prices, and those who hold
it are not going to sell It at present
prices. simply because they do not
have to.

An Epidemic of Matrirnonv.

An epidemic of matrimony with
chorus girls has broken out again in
the British peerage. Three young lords
and marquis are depicting the stage
Of the same theatre. Contrary to the
-ocent announcement by the solicitor
Of another peer that as soon as he
had married an American heiress his
debts would be paid, these theatrical
alliances can have no financial motive.
Yet the chorus girl marriages seem to
turn out as we'll as those arranged
on purely business principles. And
marriages out of their own circle keep
the British peerage more virile than
the continental nobility with their in
terminable quarterings.

COIN COLLECTORS EXCITED.
Strange Story of the Georgia So Piece
Of 1880.

Deputy Collector of Customs Hamil-
ton yesterday finished, says The New
York Journal of Commerce, an inves-
tigation which has been in progress
for two months into the loss, while in
transit from London, Of a five dollar
gold piece coined by the state of Geor-
gia in 1880, permission having been
given by the United States govern
ment. The story Of the complication
attending the loss Of the coin, as re-
lated by Mr.. Hamilton, is as follows:
A London numismatist forwarded to
prominent cein collector in New
York a rare coin known as the "Geor-
gia five dollar gold piece Of $780, Of
which coinage only three are supposed
to be in existence, two in the hands Of
collectors in this country ana the one
in question. Somewhere between Lon
don and New York the Georgia coin
disappeared from the package in
which it was wrapped with other coins
and antique jewelry. A month later a
Brooklyn man of high standing visited
tf:ezNeW York collector and showed 10
airn- one Of the Georgia five dollar
eoIeces. The collector Immediately
Gained it as one which had disap-
peared. The Brooklyn man said taat,
he had purchased it for s575 from a
numismatist and offered to produce
the seller. The numismatist was found
and vouchsafed the information that
he had purchasd the coin from man
who claimed to have had it in his
possession for many years. He has no
record Of the name and address Of the
original seller. The coin collector took
no stock IN the story and asked the
collector of customs to Investigate.
This was done, but no results were OBJ
tained, as the customs authorities
could in no way identity the coin sold
here with the one shipped from Lon
don. The millionaire collector was adj.
NSed to sue in the courts for posses
sion OF the coin, and interesting legal
proceedings are expected very shortly.
The names oe the parties concerned
were not given out by Deputy Collec-
tor Hamilton. The question worrying
coin collectors just now is: Are there
four OF the Georgia five dollar pieces
in existence?

WILLAMETTE
DEFEATS
MULTNOMAH
Only Oregon Team That Lower
ed Their COIOrS---POrtland's
Third Defeat in Sixteen Years

erywhere in evidence and a large see
tion OF the grandstaad was occupied
by members Of the young peoples so
eiety Of the sunnyside Methodist
church, who carried pennants and col
ors and joined in the willamette yells
and songs with as much vim and en-
thusiasm as any student Of the old
school.
The reports that have been eiTeulat-
ed in the papers that Multnomah was
woefully weak this year may have been
true when they were started, but they
are far from true now. Such men as
overfeld, Saunders, Mcmillan, HOran,
Jordan, Woodruff, Blanchard and
James are not to be found on every
team. Indeed it is doubtful if any
team in the country can boast Of so
many stars But they lack team work
and speed, both Of which can only be
acquired through training, and this the
club men have not had.
The brilliant features Of the game
we're the running in Of a punt by Mace
for so yards, another run through the
line Of 20 yards by the same individ-
ual, and the magnificent punting Of
Coleman. It was in Punting and the
handling Of punts that the Salem men
clearly Outelassed the Portland players
and as it was their deficiency in this
line that lost them the game last year
Occupied with q MultnOmsh referee)
so it was their excellence in that, this
year, which enabled them to gain the
victory.

lightest guard In Oregon, was pitted
against tho mighty Saunders, aud
though the club men concentrated all
their strength on him, and made most
OF their gains through that part OF the
line, they were neither very great nor
very consistent, and when tho big In.
dian was taken back Of the line, they
ceased almost altogether. Philbrook
played a good defensive game and did
his share Of advancing tho hail when
given chance TO tuck Il under bis
arm. KellaT and Pollard played their
usual star ball while the work Of Cole
man, Patton aud Henkle, on the ends,
was far from "weak. II was mag
niheent, Multnomah tried 10 get
around, or by, those weak Cd ends on
various occasions, but not once did
she make her yardage In that manner.
In the back field, while Mace made the
only sensational runs Of the day, he
did not make yaFdage as constantly
as Raider and Long The work Of all
three men on defense was equally as
good as their offehse, while Henkle,
who played defensive half, played even
a better game there than at end. He
and Nelson, the little center, were the
only ones who succeeded Ia breaking
through that powerful line ana down
ing the man with the ball for a loss.
Nelson is without doubt the best cen.
ter in the Northwest, for his size, il
not regardless OF size. In Saturday .
game he was pitted against a man
many pounds his superior in weight,
yet he played him TO a standstill. Pat
ton at quarter and defensive end play
ed the same consistent game that he
always does.
For MultnOmah, Coach Overheld,
who was given a place on the "An
American" team, Horan, James, saun-
ieTs and Mcmillan played the best
game.
While the Willamette goal Was never
n any serious danger, the eollegians
we're within striking distance Of the
'lub mems goal line three different
lines, and the last half was played al
most altogether in Multnomah terri
