a patient, ill with pneumonia, Monday
morning, that hope for the ultimate re-

merchant, mad been abandoned.
The physicians in attendance, how
ever, refused to commit themselves
beyond the statement that Mn Fields
condition was less favorable than on
Sunday.
At 9:15 a. m. Monday the following
bulletin on the condition of Marshall
Filed was issued by ais physicians al
the Holland house:
Near the end of the seventh day
of the disease, Mr.. Fields condition re
mains critical There Is as yet no i'm

When this bulletin was issued Mr.
Fields pulse varied between 60 and

Cotton Letter.

Americas, Ga Jan. 15.-The South
ern Gotten Association has completed
It's labors and the world is rubbing it's
eyes trying to realize what has been
To hold the balance of this crop is bad
enough, from the standpoint of con-
sumers, bat to still further curtaiI the
small acreage which yielded during
the past season less than 10, 500. 900
bales is the most serious possibility the
industry has faced since the Civil War.
In fact, it is SO serious that arguments
pointing ont the impossibiIIty of farm
ers carrying out either proposition are
listened to half-heartedly. At present
rate of consumption $4,000, 900 bales
will be needed to fill the worlds wants
the coming season. An average crop
on an acreage of 100000 would be
only 100000 bales. Here is ample
room for anxiety on the part of the
spinner He knows the limited capac-
ity for increase for India and Egypt,
and he knows also the danger that an
insufficient monsoon might cut short
the Indian yield 500. 600 bales. If the
farmer is in ear nest, the coming season
will have to face supply far short of
ri quirements and prices must advance
to figure which will make the snit fit
the cloth. This is the possibility
brought up by the action of the con-
ventioD, and we must confess it is
serious one for the spinner to contem.
plate. The movement of the crop will
attract unusual attention during the
remainder of the month and February.
This amount in sight to date is already
49, 900 bales behind the ten million
crop of two years ago, and by March LIST
it will probably be running on basis
of 100000 bale crop. OF course com.
parison with the single year of 1908 04
will hardly be convincing, but before
March LIST comparison with the two TO-,
700, 900 crops of three and four years
ago will be reduced to busis of 10.

further reduction. Liverpool due 2 to

Washington, Jan. 15.-President
Roosevelt mas announced the appoint

Quindaro institute, at Quindaro, Kans.,
to be register of the treasury in sue
cession to Judson w. Lyons. Charges
We're preferred against Vernon, but
they were not sustained by the inves-

Lyons was at the White Houye and

The fact that Lyons is Republican ma
tional committeeman from Georgia did
not save him. Vernon, of Kansas
had the Endorsement of Booker T

This turn down of Lyons, coming
coincident with the announcement that
Rucker is to lose out and that De

Dead Body ManaIed.

Atlanta. Jan. 15.-With a package
of clay which she had secured for
her breakfast held tightly in her hand,
the dead body of Charlotte jenkins, a
negro woman, so years old, was run
over by an outgoing river car near
the corner of Bellwood and English
avenues Sunday morning at 6 o'clock
Owing to the sharp curve where the
car track runs off of Bellwood avenue
the motorman was unable to see the
body lying before him until too late tc
stop the car. The coroner was noti
fed and an inquest held, and it was
determined that the woman had died o.
heart failure and had fallen across the
tracks.

J. Smith, who was shot twice on last

searching parties are now securing
the country for the murderer.
The report, reaching here that he
had been caught and lynched, is stout
