Cotton Letter.

Americus, Co.. March 14.-Ihefe
was practically no news to exp ain the
heavIness this morning with the pos
sible exception of disappointing ca
bles and weather better than expected
At this rate what little long interest
there is left in the market will soon be
shaken out while In the mainline q
large short interest is growing in Oc-
tobers and DEFENDERS, especially in
the former month. The comparative
steadiness in the afternoon was due
entirely to the failure of spots in the
South to follow our decline here. We
notice the heaviest short sales that are
being made are from sources that were
most optimistic when cotton was two
cents per pound higher. The techni-
cal position is stronger and the worlds
demands are apt to be enormous. The
market, of course, has sustained q
severe blow and nov for the presenst q
scalping affair would seem to be logical
but on declines we favor buying cot
ton, giving special preference to the
October option. The local exports for
the season thus far are 4, 1856, 900. Local
spot quotations reduced Is points.

morrow.

to Death-Plisoner Shows No Re-
morse When Told of ResuIt-Mr.

After lingering for twenty-four hours
Mr.. Jared Davis, who was shot in his

Hicks, negro farm hand, died yes
terday morning from the wound infiic"
ted, the ball having penetrated his

Mr.. Davis was one of Sumter's best
known citizens, an industrious and
successful young farmer, and his tragic
death is generally deplored among q
wide circle of friends.
The funeral will take place &c day at
DeSoto, near his home.
The particulars of the tragedy were
told in the Times Recorder yesterday.
Mr.. Davis reprimanded Hicks for car
rying pistol in the field, contrary to
the established rule of the plantation,
whereupon the negro shot him.
Mr.. Davis was unsrmed, and had
made no attack upon Hicks, the wit
nesses all state.
After shooting down Mr.. Davis the
negro turned the gun upon Mr.. John
Davis, brother of the deceased, and
fired once at him. Then jumping upon
the mule he had been blowing Hicks

rendered.
When told yesterday of his Victims
death it is said that Hicks betrayed
little remorse, merely saying that he
was sorry, and that the reason be shot
Davis was that he feared him. The
murder has caused much indignation
in the community.
Mr.. Davis was a quiet, sober and
industrious citizen and his death is
deplored He leaves wife and three
