Tight shoes pinch.
Dust and warm weather. That’ll do.
Local news is as scarce as hen’s

“ Old Frobs ” scents rain in the dis

Tie-backs are scarce these warm

Turtle soup and oysters on the half
shell are now the rage.
As usual, our market reports will be
found complete and quotations correct.
Old man Doble will be here this fall
with ten fine racers, including Gold

The last rain that fell in this city
was on August 22d, and the amount
84-100 inches.
A number of our dry goods mer

chasing their fall stock.
“ Ever he sen’ for yau, you go,” as
one negro said to another yesterday,
when speaking of the Recorder.
“ Why is a kiss like a sewing ma

Yes, and you get awfully “tuekin”
sometimes.
Checker and chess boards are begin
ning to disappear. The busy season
has checkmated the dull one.
Cotton is weak and on the decline.
It wiil probably remain at about the
present figures ‘for the next eight or
ten months.
There wiil be a meeting of the Rifle
Club next Tuesday evening at the hall
of the Oglethorpe’s, Cos. A, to arrange
for another contest.
Ex-Comptroller Peterson Thweatt is
given credit for influencing the stay of
collection of the State cotton tax.
There is life in the old land yet.
She left for Augusta yesterday

We expect that one of them belonged
to the young lady, too. We know that
oue of the belles of Augusta was ex

as high as the Gate City.
The next Legislature will likely pass
a law making it a heavy penalty to ap
peal a frivilous case to the Supreme
Court, and Superior Court judges will
be clothed with additional powers in
the premises.
“ Sam, wha’s dis yere place dey call

Augusta has more babies and young
children than any other ten cities of its
size in the United States. We’d like
to have G. Washington Childs send
down a few obituary notices. We don’t
want him, however; he’d scare them
all to death, and we need a few as an in

First Contest of the Richmond Rifle
Club.
The first contest of the R. R. C. took
place yesterday morning at 7 o’clock,
promptly at the appointed hour. The
Club “ toed the mark,” and after a
few preliminaries in arrangeing the
targets, the men proceeded to business.
Capt. Daniel appointed Mr. Jeff Jen
nings and Mr. Hackle to keep the
score at the target. The Club purposes
sending a Team to Macon, and from
the record made yesterday it will be
easy to have the Club respectably rep
resented.
It must be remembered that shoot
ing off-hand at 200 and 300 yards, with
a six-lb. trigger, is not at all easy to
accomplish satisfactorily. The Spring
field rifle is the one used by this Club,
being the recognized military rifle of
the State. Then taking into consider
tion the rifle, long ranges and heavy
trigger —besides, this is the first prac
tice of the Club—all will certainly come
to the conclusion that the scores made
below, out of a possible 25 at each
range, are really creditable to the men
of the R. R. C. ‘ The target was 6xß:

Five shots were fired at each target.
The above is certainly remarkably line

had never shot farther than 100 yards
before. After a few more trials a team
for the State fair will be selected.
Attempted Suicide.
Whenever a man is determined to
kill himself, by all means let him do it,
for such a man hasn’t brains enough to
carry him through the world, eveniu
this age, when brains is not the stand
point from which a man is judged.
Certainly when a man makes tw T o, and
even three, attempts to shuffle off the
mortal coil, his wants should receive
attention from the public, and if he
has an inkling for a watery grave, a
bath tub should be furnished him if
nothing else be at hand; but when
the placid waters of the Savannnah
afford such splendid opportunities for
ambitious and enterprising brainless
men, there should not have occurred,
as was the case yesterday, an unsuc
cessful attempt at self-destruction. The
fact is. the would-be suicilq’s nose
could not root deep enough in the sand
to allow him to submerge his head. It
was ankle-deep when he made the at
tempt, and just at the foot of Mclntosh
street a person would have to wade
nearly over to the Carolina shore to
get a full bucket of water. A printer,
who, for some time past, has been par
tially deranged, owing to trouble, went
to the river at the foot of Mclntosh
street, and after yelling good-bye,
plunged into the sand. There
wasn’t water enough to drown a mos
quito. The would-be suicide splashed
and took on worse than the negroes do
when they get religion. That he might
not injure himself from over exertion,
a negro man standing on the bank,
saw the propriety of rescuing the
demented man, and after a deal of
porsuasion he finally concluded to let
the matter stand over until last night,
when he said he would without fail go
to sleep with mud turtles and cat fish
iu the Savannah. It is really said that
he twice before attempted self-destruc
tion, but we have our opinion of any
one who would tell such a tale, for a
fact. Whether the gentleman succeed
ed iu his purpose last night we know
not, but it is safe to presume that he
was not so stupid as to go down to the
river at night when no one would be
likely to be around.
The Course of Cotton.
[New York Bulletin, Sept. 7.1
The market throughout has been in
a more or less slow condition, and
since our last review few really new or
interesting features are developed.—
The feeling among nine-tenths of
the trade is unquestionably “bearish,”
"and the changes established on values
are at a lower level, but the modifi
cation of cost as compared with last
year, and the prospect of some dan
ger overtaking the crop, cheek, as yet,
any movement of magnitude on the
“short” side, and prevent, to use a trade
term, a “jumping upon” the market.
We ssy possibility of danger to the
crop, as a probability does not seem to
be considered just now. From a few
sections complaints have been received
of slight injuries, but the general tenor
of the advices on the Exchange as to
the condition of the plant and the state
of the weather, up to the present wri
ting, seem to be accepted as very favor
able, while a goodly percentage of the
trade consider that, though a little
delayed thus far, the receipts will soon
commence to run well up to the totals
of last year. The foreign markets, too,
are void of any encouraging features,
aud while this may be, and to some ex
tent undoubtedly is, a reflection of the
feeling here, there is a strong belief in
some quarters of a decided undertone
of demoralization abroad. On the bull
side of the question we hear of no ar
guments at the moment, except that at
ruling rates cotton appears to be cheap,
and that there is a chance that the
promises of the bears may, through
some unexpected source, prove weak.
“ Spots ” have been less active than
last week, and the outlet confined al
most exclusively to home calls. The
increase of cost before noted had the
effect to check inquiry on foreign ac
count, and with subsequent weakness
and decline at Liverpool, accompanied
by “ blue private dispatches, shippers
were entirely driven out of the
market, especially as no correspond
ing favors were allowed by the hold
ers here, except on poor and undesirable
lots of little use for any purpose. Spin
ners, too, became more cautious, and
operated on a much closer calculation
to actual wants, though with no other
point from which to draw supplies,
most of the prevailing demand came
here. The cost has remained much the
same and particularly so on grades
from low middling upwards, the broken
assortment and moderate general
aggregate of stock enabling hold
ers to retain much advantage.
Stained cotton, too, has ruled pretty
steady, and only the low quali
ties have offered easier terms for
buyers. There has not, however, been
any rolling up and laying away of sam
ples when a really full bid could be ob
tained, the tone of the contract market
increasing receipts at the Southern
ports, and the probable arrival of new
cotton within a short time operating
against such a policy. The new classi
fication of quotations adopted one year
ago went into effect on the Ist inst.
Middling of the present standard is
worth about %c. more than low mid
dling of old standard, and low middling
%c. more than strict good ordinary, old
standard.
For future delivery a few slight fluc
tuations have taken place, but on the
whole the feeling was slack and values
generally are lower. As before noted,
August went out with a slight “twist”
for a few “shorts,” but nothing of a
serious nature, and the tendency to
'‘bull” prices was not extended into the
present month. Some operators, to
be sure, appeared to have a little con
fidence on September in view of the
small accumulation available and a
belief that the actual stock was less
than the running estimate by several
thousand bales. But when the official
count was made the discrepancy proved
to be comparatively light, the sates of
“.spots” were not quite so free, and
with new cotton coming to hand at the
parts, sellers could not retain any posi
tive advantage. On the later months
the offerings were in the meantime
comparatively free, with now and then
just a faint indication of pressure,
but as stated above the “ bears ”
evidently did not feel well enough
fortified to assume any very decid
edly aggressive measures even though
backed by orders from the South
for “short” sales. Nearly all letters
speak in unusually confident terms
of the prosperous condition of the
c rop, nth picking becoming more gene
ral the prospects favorable for
a a early addition to the supply, the lat
ter in a measure foreshadowed by the
larger amounts already credited to the
interior towns. Under the new system
of quotations in effect since the Ist in
stant, the basis of quotations is mid
dling, which on the present standard is
worth about %c more than low mid
dling of the old standard.
“Hash.”
Bridges W. Smith, that “komikal
kuss” who is the author of “Hash,” a
spicy aud humorous book now in press,
has a side-splitting article in the last
number of the Kennesaw Route Gazette
on the wmnderful “Keely motor,” which,
for want of space, we cannot reproduce.
Speaking of Brown’s wifo he says: “She
was never very beautiful. Even in her
palmiest days there was a sort of vin
egar-factory look about her face that
made it look like it was struck by light
ning.” Brown could organize a camp
meeting of hen-pecked swaius who’d go
him halves iu his opinion.
Personal.
We are pleased, to note the return
home of our distinguished and popular
physician, Dr. H. F. Campbell. The
Doctor has been rusticating for a short
time in the mountains, and from his
looks has evidently enjoyed his trip.
We, with his many friends, welcome
him back. There is always a feeling
of comfort that comes over us when w r e
know such men as ho is are within
r 3ach.

A Health Yielding Stimulant.— lt is
suicidal for a man to drink ordinary
liquor, when he feels weak, to enable
him to perform work in hand. The
fatigue which labor produces is in
creased tenfold by the debilitating re
action of the stimulants of commerce,
so that the temporary invigoration
is purchased at a fearful cost to
health. A stimulant, in order to
impart healthful energy, should be
medicated. The reason that Hostet
ter’s Stomach Bitters are so won
derfully efficacious as a restora
tive and preventive is that their
alcoholic basis of pure Old Rye is min
gled with vegetable tonjes and altera
tives, which are the most potent known
to medical botanists. Their immediate
or stimulative effect is to rouse the
dormant energies, and their subse
quent operation is to permanently in
vigorate, through the medium of re
stored digestion and secretion, tlio va
rious organs of the body.

Dr. Price’s Flavorings are rapidly
growing iu the popular favor, as it is
oecoming known that they are pro
duced by extraction from ' the fruit
carefully selected, not made up with
chemical poisons. Each flavor is from
the true fruit and aromatics, free from
poisonous oils and strong, rank taste.
They are natural flavors, obtained by
anew process, which give the most
delicate and grateful taste. They are
of great strength, and bottles contain
half more than those purporting to
give the same quantity. We con
scientiously commend Dr. Price’s flavor
as being all that they are represented.

GUSTA MARKETS.
Constitutionalist Offici >
6 o’clock P. M., September 10, j
Remarks.
As anticipated, trade has a st< tdy and
substantial improvement, and alt) >ugh it
is not as heavy as for the same pel od last
year, it denotes a healthier state c affairs
than it would if business was heav r. One
fact, we are happy to state, is veryrpvident,
and that is that no sin How or unsSimd ac
tivity is prevalent, and the busii|:ss now
done is on a sound and protective basis,
both for the merchant and the clisumer,
and it is better to have it so in p;5 l’eronce
to a forced activity, which would 5° bound
to have an early reaction, and that' eaction
would not only demoralize busiil'ss, but
its premature development and fi-Iceu life
would work the same unstable andlinsound
condition of things that existed if st year,
and merchants are determined this
year not to force trade, but fto al
low it to gradually unfol* itself
as the necessities of home eonsuiltion de
mand, aud thus it rests on a solit jfounda
tion, fend whatever is done can be relied on
as an infallible index to the futurj; but to
wiser sages than we must be Bit to say
what the future will be. But ole thing
may be relied on, and that is, tint pros
perity which we have not knoln for a
number of years will undoubtecCy be the
fruit of the cautious and safe l-usiness
which lias inaugurated this promising sea
son. The undertone in business ciiiles sub
stantiates this, and it can be relief on as a
symptom of a healthy situation agd a sure
sign of a prosperous future; Mid here
again would wo suggest the cfuitinued
economy which has been the prevail
ing mark of this season so ar, and
the present state of things c mipared
with the past, proves the need of ueh. In
the West at present everything it hopeful,
save for the late floods, and the u incipal
reason is, because of that econonle il line
of policy which has so far characterized us,
and Western merchants are deteiiained to
pursue a safe business, and not fo;i trade,
and of the results they have not tlieXlightesc
doubt. The East is perfectly prorlrated on
account of its capital being princlmlly in
vested in manufactories, and the* look to
the South and West for help, anc"ire only
kept from despair by the encoui||ging re
ports from the agriculture* States
whither they hope to gain aSDtanee.
The North feels somewhat yie dis
tresses of the East, but *ro not
in such a bad condition* New
York merchants pursue that sal* line of
policy inaugurated South ard Afest, and
they have no apprehensions of till future,
as they are determined to let tri l l work
out its own course and do no haphazard
business. Ali that now remains bliusure a
complete and prosperous future i:£for mer
chants and consumers to pursuelbe path
in which they now tread, and tley need
have no fear of the consequences. I
Nothing has been doing in flu: :cial cir
cles the past week, and no de: and for
rnouey. Exchange was a little ac ve.
The meat market has been flri all the
week, and prices remained unchai pat until
to-day, when a slight decline t >k place.

cular, August 20.1
The Position, Etc.—The causes that
have favorably influenced our market this
week have been a rapid reduction of the
stock here; an error of 23,01.0 bales in the
London stock—which on being counted on
Wednesday last turned out that much loss
than estimated—and the tenor of the Wash
ington Bureau’s report on the condition of
the crop. On the other hand, our market
has been unfavorably influenced by the
protraction of the look-out at Oldham, tiie
downwird tendency of futures at New
York, less activity at Manchester than was
hoped for, and the rebellion in European
Turkey.
The stock hero now amounts to 837,490
bales, against 910,230 at this date last year,
and there are afloat for this port from
America, India, Brazil, etc., 22,400 less than
last year. The stock in aud afloat for Lon
don is 45,730 bales less than last year. The
error of 23,000 bales in the London stock
we have added to the deliveries of the trade
this week, but it should be distributed over
the thirty-two weeks of this year. We thus
make the stock held by English spinners
to be now only 52,000 bales less than last
year. It will thus be seen the actual sup
ply of cotton in and afloat for Great Britain
Is now.about 143,000 bales less than one year
ago.
The lock-out at Oldham continues and
the general impression now is will not close
until after the wake—a parish festival—the
last week in this month. J his lock-out
over, we may then expect a larger trade
demand, particularly for the 1 >wer grades
of American cotton, which are mostly used
in the Oldham district. This lock-out his
had, and still has, a strengthening influence
on the Manchester market, and hence there
is reason to doubt whether or not the ef
fect has on the who’s been to depress our
market for co ton.
The rebellion of Herzegovina, a province
of European Turkey, has this week attract
ed a good deal of attention. By some it is
is feared the rebellion may spread to ad
joining provinces, and possibly precipitate
tne breaking up of tiie Ottoman j mpire
and plunge Europe into a mighty war.—
Certain it is that this led to a downright
panic on the London and several of tiie
Continental Stock Exchanges on the 18th
and 19th inst., particularly in Turkish and
Egyptian stocks, but our advices to-day in
dicate that the excitement is subsiding,
due, we suppose, to telegrams from the
Continent, which report that “ the three
powers (Russia, Prussia and Austria) are
agreed that tiie Eastern question shall not
be raised,” etc.
The stock of cotton held by English
spinners we now estimate at 90,000 bales,
against 142 000 last year, and 156,000 the
ye ir before at same date.
The Manchester market this week has
been inactive, but prices remain very
stealy. The amount of business doing is
sufficiently largo to strengthen tiie hands
of producers, who therefore show no incli
nation to invite an increased business by
making any concession in price. We now
quote 8/4 lb. shirtings, 7s. 3da9s. per piece.
No. 40 mule yarn ll%d„ ll%d. and 13%d. for

2,061,310 in 1873.
