LETTERS TO SANTA CLAUS.

There has been such an avalanche Of
Santa Claus letters during the past few
days, that we have found it difficult

THE CIRCUIT COURT.

The case Of Samuel Friedheim VS..
the Manchester Cotton mill, which was
in progress when the last issue Of The
Enquirer went to press, was concluded
Saturday afternoon with a verdict for
the defendant.
The plaintiff in this case owns a
tract Of land below the defendants
mill, and complains that he Is being
damaged because the defendant Is pol
luting a stream that runs through the
land with sewage, etc. He wanted
damage in the sum Of $1,000 and an in
junction against further pollution.
Upon the convening of the court
yesterday morning, all the fourth week
jurors were present or accounted for
with the exception Of w. H. Blackwell,
who had not been found, as follows:
s. H. Evans, A. F. Ruff, ]. E. Thom-
as, Julian B. Johnson, Jr., H. w. Ad-
kins, w. T. Williams, J. L. White, ].

The following were excused by the
court upon satisfactory showings:
A. F. Ruff, J. B. Johnson. Jr., S. G.
Moore, s. P. Pearce, L. ]. Massey, B.
M. Lee.
After the organization Of the juries,
the court took up the case Of c. Scott
Wilson, administrator vs.. the Southern
railroad, a suit for damages on ac-
count of the killing Of the PLAINTIFF 4
son, Rainey Wilson, between Smiths
Turnout and Ogden, about two years
ago. The testimony introduced by
the plaintiff, failed to disclose any le-
gal responsibility on the part Of the de-
fendent, and after listening to consid-
cradle argument, the court granted a
non suit.
Because the attorneys on one side or
the other In the various other cases,
had business at the supreme court, 1t
was not practicable to get up another
case, and the jury business Of the term
fell through. The jurors were dis
charged this morning.
The court Is now engaged on equity
business, with which 1t will be occu-
pied during several days of this week
and several days Of next week.

- Bluefields, Nicaragua, December
12: 1t Is learned from an authorita-
tive source that reign Of terror Is
being maintained In Managua and
that not less than 500 persons identi-
fed with political affairs are in chains
in the prisons. A Catholic society
has been ordered to cease sending
food to the prisoners, and these are
in fair way to starye to death, as
they are allowed only 2 cents day
for food. Corporal punishment is
meted out daily to various alleged Of
tenders. Zelaya. in order to create
an impression that the sentiment Of
the people of Managua is hostile to-
ward America and Americans, recent
ly ordered Amelio Estrada, a prom
inent Liberal and brother Of the rev.
olutionist, to organize a demonstra-
tion against that country and people,
but this he refused to do, and Zelaya
had him arraigned on a fictitious
charge. Further authoritative dis
patches received here state that 500
of Zelayas forces have been entrench-
ed for the purpose of preventing the
American marines from passing over
the bridge into Corinto. Scouting
parties are out in every direction to
determine the objective point Of Gen.
Vasuuez. who has asked for two days
extension Of the truce to enable him
II communicate with Zelaya. As Gen.
Vasuuez is in possession Of a telephone
system over which probably 10 MIN
utes would suffice to transact his bus
iness with Zelaya, this request is re-
garded with suspicion, and 1t has been
refused.

VIEWS OF w. p. BROWN.
c1tton -ulI Leaders Tell Why Prices
Are High.

S~tton -u1 LedoorS ieIl why Prices
Are High.
The estimate of the cotton firm of
W. p. Brown & Co, of New Orleans,
leaders in the bull movement of the
season, placing the total production at
l0,S00,000 bales, IS of considerable in
terest to cotton men everywhere This
firm sends out the following report:
Ny investigation shows that Geor-
gia and the Carolinas have produced
full average crops, but all the other
states have practically made failures,
caused by drought, extreme high tenn
peratureS and the ravages of the boil
weevil Texas was damaged more
than any other state on account of the
weevil. The weevil did great damage
also in the states of Texas, Arkansas
and Mississippi and the damage would
have been still greater had it not been
for the extreme heat and dry weather
which checked the weevil, but dar:-
aged the crop. This being a fact,
think ] can safely say that this crop
never had chance to be big one.
The boil weevil Is spreading rap
idly and will very likely cover the en-
tire state of Mississippi and probably
good portion of Alabama within an
other year. This, in my judgment, will
prevent a full crop being raised next
year, and until something is discover
ed that will destroy the weevil, bump
er crops are out Of the question, as 1t
is a known fact that the weevils do a
great deal more damage to cotton
crops in woodland section than they do
in the open prairies of Texas. To il
lustrate, Louisiana produced in 1904,
100000 bales. and l estimate her pre-
duction this year at 275,000, and this
shortage is caused principally by the
ravageS of the boil weevil, so it ism I
hard to picture what we may expect in
the way of a cotton crop when the wee
vii spreads over the entire cotton belt,
when we glance at the great destruc-
ton the weevil has done to the cotton
crop of Louisiana.
"As far as the spinning and conSum-
ing world is concerned, it is very un-
fortunate that this years crop is such
a small one, as big one was never so
badly needed. the consumption has
been and is now running on a basis
Of at least 13.500,000 bales annually,
and with such a small crop. of course.
il means much smaller consumption.
though l feel confident that spinners
will take and spin every available bale
of cotton that has been grown this
year. and will also spin up the small
reserve supplies that they carried over
from last year. l never believed, how
ever. that spinners stocks on the 1st
of last September were more than
normal If they had been. they would
not have taken the great quantity up
to this time that they have. With the
exception of last year, spinners' TAX
ings of American cotton since the lst
of September are the largest on rec
ord (they took last year 1881, 200, and

THERE is a good deal Of matter be-
ing printed about the doings of Pres
ident Zelaya in Nicaragua. and much
of 1t goes to show that the country Is
in the hands of a gang of freebooters,
who are using their positions to COB
BILE the revenues and even to steal pri-
vate property. One story has 1t that
it is a common thing for Zelaya and
his crowd to confiscate the property Of
well-to-d do people by charging them with
being traitors. These stories seem to
Justify American intervention at once,
If they are true: but as to whether
they are true Is the question. 1t Is
very we'll understood by the best in
formed Americans that many such
stories are manufactured by interested
persons and sent out from various
Central and South American coun-
tries. purely for the purpose Of making
ientiment in the United States and
preparing the way for safely doing in
those countries the very things that
the rulers of those countries are charg-
ed with doing. The stories may be
true as to Zelaya and his crowd. and
again they may not be true.
