Crop Report of Augusta District.
The following report has just been
made:
The Augusta Exchange, )
Augusta, Ga., Nov. 10, 1875. )
To the President and Board of Directors
of the Augusta Exchange :
Gentlemen: We respectfully submit
the following report for the month of
October, as to the prospects and condi
tion of the cotton crop in the district
allotted to this Exchange. Our report
is based on sixty-one replies from
twenty-four counties. Average date of
replies, Ist inst.:
Ist Question —What has been the
character of the weather since October
Ist, and has it been more or less favor
able than same time last year for gath
ing the crop?
Answer—With the exception of some
local rains in the early part of October,
the weather has been dry and very fa
vorable for picking. The majority of
our replies report the month as more
favorable than in 1874.
2d Question —When did you have kill
ing frost in your section, and what
damage, if any, has it done to the
crop ?
Answer—Killing frosts are reported
on the lGth and 17th of October. Late
cotton is reported as damaged, though
tbe injury is stated to have been con
siderable, the crop having matured
rapidly previous to that date. The!
damage is certainly no greater than in
any average year.
3d Answer —What proportion of the
crop has been picked, and by what
time do you think picking will be fin
ished in your county?
Answer—About half of our corres
pondents report two-thirds of the crop
as picked, the balance three-fourths,
and a very few as much as seven
eights. The general opinion seems to
be that picking will be completed be
tween the 15tli and 30th of November.
4th Question —How will the yield in
your county compare with last year ?
State probable increase or decrease.
Answer -Twelve replies indicate a
yield as large as last year ; ten, from
eight to twelve and a half per cent,
less; sixteen, from twenty to twenty
five per cent, less ; twenty, range from
thirty to thirty-three per cent, less ;
and two, fifty per cent. less. The aver-'
age points to a falling off from last
year’s yield of from eighteen to twenty
per cent.
sth Q „estion—State any material
facts regarding the yield not covered
by the above questions.
Some counties are making a fuller
crop than was expected a month ago.
The damage by frost is very inconsid
erable, probably not over two per cent.,
as it only killed the youngest bolls,
without piercing such as were fairly
grown, and which it really helped to
open. Besides, there was but little late
cotton in this section subject to dam
age, most of it having suffered severe
ly from the drought. There seems to
be a general unanimity of opinion that
cotton does not yield as well as last
year, requiring more seed cotton to
make a specified amount of lint.
6th Question —What damage, if any,
do you estimate was done by rust in
your section?
Answer —The damage by rust has
been very unequal in different locali
ties. Our reports range from “very
little” to “twenty-five per cent, loss.”
It is impossible to give an average.
The principal damage was done by the
drought, and consequent shedding.
Very respectfully, your obedient ser
vants, L. L. Zulavsky, Chairman; J. J.
Pearce, F. W. Reid, R. W. Heard, L. C.
Nowell, A. M. Benson, Wm. M. Read,
Committee on Statistics and Informa
tion.
Child’s Funeral.
Ann Schlein.a pupil of the Houghton
Institute, died yesterday. Her funeral
occurred yesterday morning, the usual
ceremonies taking place over the body
at St. John’s M. E. Church, Rev.
Messrs. Evans and Patterson officiat
ing. The session of the Houghton In
stitute was brought to a close about 11
o’clock, the pupils—about 250 in num
ber —under the leadership of Professor
Shecut, repairing to the church, where
they behaved in the most orderly man
ner. After singing the hymn, com
mencing “Jesus, Lover of My Soul,”
Rev. Mr. Patterson made an Impressive
prayer. Rev. Mr. Evans read a portion
of the burial service, and a portion of
the Gospel of St. Mark Y, 37, sup
plementing it with a most touching
address, in which he spoke of the
beautiful Christian life of the deceased,
and the example she set,which brought
many persons under Christian influ
ences. The words of God. Evans
brought tears to the eyes of many of
those present, both young and old.
The pall bearers were boys, and, after
the services in the church, they boro
the remains to the hearse, and the body
of the young Christian was taken-to
the cemetery.
Scene in tlie City Hall.
Mayor's Office — Time, 11 a. m. —Mayor
seen looking ova' Public Documents,
Letters, d'c. —Enter Stout, Healthy
Tramp.
Tramp—“ I want a pass to Savan
nah ?”
Mayor (looking up slowly and eyeing
the fellow from head to foot)—“Where
did you come from ?”
Tramp (somewhat confused and point
ing in the direction of South Carolina),
—“ Well, somewhere over there ; I for
get the name of the place, exactly.”
Mayor—“ Was it Smithville?”
Tramp—“ Well, I can’t exactly tell.”
Mayor—“ Can’t give you a ticket.”
(Exit tramp in a hurry.)
The city saved §2.75 In that inter
view.
“Trade” Competition.
A fellow with a hand organ, of an
excrutiating wheezy tone, started his
grinding mill near the Union depot
yesterday morning. He had for an as
sistant a one-legged boy, and had
drawn a crowd, and was in the full tide
of success, when his hopes were dashed
by the appearance of a pair of rivals.
The new comers had an accordeon, and
they commenced a tune, as an ac
companiment to their voices, in the
endeavor to sing a song—and such
voices. They would make a veudor of
fish, turn pale with envy, and charm
the heart of a wood sawyer’s appren
tice. The singing did the job, for the
poor organ grinder, with his wheezy
organ, moved off, leaving the field to
the “ beautiful ” singers.
The Post Office Scales.—An enor
mous amount of printed matter is
weekly weighed in tlie newspaper and
periodical department of the Post Office,
which is situated in the first story, on
the side opposite City Hall Park. The#
weighing is done by two Fairbanks’
Platform Scales, each of which is an
accurate test of any weight from one
pound to ten tons. The clerks In oharge
of the work say that the scales are as
sensitive as a magnetic needle and give
perfect satisfaction. The machines oc
cupy very little room, and trucks load
ed with the papers to be weighed are
easily driven upon tlie platforms.
Wednesday is always the busiest day
of the week in this departmeDt*of the
Post Office, the amount of mail matter
weighed yesterday being not less than
one hundred tons.— New York Evening

MATHEW SHEBON, ESQ., PRESIDING.
November 12.
Thomas Howard, a negro, paid in
§ls for drunkenness.
David Lumpkin and Mollie Simp
kins, both of the sunburnt American
tribe, were charged with disorderly
conduct. It appears Lumpkin has
separated from his wife, and a quarrel
took place about a child, in which Mol
lie, as the “next best friend” of David,
put in some arguments which the court
held to be threatening, and the couple
paid | sls for exercising i heir rights
as free Americans.
Building Churches.
[Southern Christian Advocate.]
The erection of new houses of wor
ship is au indication of denominational
progress ; and if judiciously and law
fully conducted, is just ground of re
joicing to every one interested in the
prosperity of the church. But there is
reason to fear that the important chap
ter on the subject iu our book of Dis
cipline has been so repeatedly and reck
lessly disregarded, that it is doubtful
whether one in one hundred of our
members knows that there are such
specific directions as it sets forth, or
whether one-tenth of our preachers
give them any place in their memories.
Iu the main, these directions are judi
cious and wholesome, and their faith
ful observance would have saved us
countless troubles and no little humili
ation.
“Let ail our churches be plain and
decent,” is an injunction which had its
origin in the infancy and poverty of
Methodism, aud was manifestly de
signed to check auy silly and sinful
ambition to ape the expensive archi
tecture of wealthier communions. With
the increasing opulence of our people,
however, the necessity, and indeed the
propriety of a rigid observance of this
rule, passed away. There is not only
no valid reason why a church edifice
should not correspond in costliness and
elegance with the private residences
and public buildings of the community
in which it is located, if the congrega
tion erecting it are able to pay for such
a building; but there is every reason
why the Lord’s house should represent
conspicuously and pre-eminently the
culture and means of the worshippers
who use it.
Now, while wo rejoice to know that
commodious and handsome chureh ed
ifices are going up according to the ne
cessities of tlie people, we do protest
most earuestly against such expendi
tures in excess of the resources of the
j congregations as leaves them with an
embarrassing debt. It is more dis
reputable than for a gentleman to dis
; port himself in fine clothes while he
I leaves his tailor unpaid. Wo do not
I say that no congregation should build
J a more costly church than they are
able to pay for within themselves ; but
we do say that if they must seek aid
from abroad, the assistance should be
secured before the outlay is made, and
not to cancel a debt which they had no
moral right to contract.
Apart from the constructive dishon
esty involved iu pledging ourselves be
yond our means to pay, the influence
of a church debt is “evii, only evil, and
that continually,” as long as it exists.
To* the damage of higher considera
tions, it must determine the supply of
the pulpit; it operates disastrously
upon all the benevolent enterprises
whose promotion ministers so health
fully to the true life of a church ; and
leads to shifts aud expedients for rais
ing money altogether discreditable. At
a recent preachers’ meeting in New
York, it was said that the churches of
that city are so burdened with debt,
that, in order to get money, they
are obliged to resort to “clap trap ex
tortions, such as fairs and festivals.”
A Dr. Terry is reported as having said
that “one church has introduced ’kiss
ing festivals,’ and another offers anew
chromo to every convert.’’ This is
simply shocking, and we hope the
statement, if made, was extravagant;
but it is in the direct line of descent
from less abhorrent exigencies created
by church debts, aud is not therefore,
wholly incredible. Let us encourage
and urge our people to build comforta
ble churches—haudsomo ones, if they
are able for them—but let us insist
strenuously that the recommendations
of the Discipline be faitfully complied
with in every instance.
Military.
In the window of Geo. A. Oates’ store,
there is on exhibition a fine photograph
of Company A, Oglethorpe Infantry.
The picture is the effort of Pelot &Cole,
and Is an artistic piece of work.
The recent parade of the Washing
ton Light Artillery has done them au
infinite amount of good. Already,
several applications for membership
have been made.
Yesterday afternoon, the Richmond
Huzzars, under command of Major
Cumming, turned out on the parade
ground for exercise. Owing to a mis
take in the orders issued for the drill,
there was a small attendance, but the
troop did finely. Their commandant is
an accomplished tactician, and under
his leadership, assisted by his able
Lieutenants, the troop is gaining an
excellent reputation.
The Freedman’s Bank Dividend.
Fifty-three of the depositors of tho
late Freedman’s Bank were yesterday
paid their twenty per cent, dividend at
the Georgia Railroad Bank. Amounts
thus paid out ranged from five cents to
§250. The total amount disbursed was
between §1,400 and §1,500.
Rev. Wm. J. White has exercised
much zeal and discretion in forwarding
this matter, and great credit is due to
the officers of the Georgia Railway
Bank for facilitating the payment of
the freedmen. We trust the colored
people will, on all future occasions,
when their moneyed interests are con
cerned, trust to their white friends here
instead of their false “ friends” abroad.
Popular Books.
The agent for the sale of “Dr. Living
stone’s Life and Explorations in
Africa” is now in the city canvassing for
a sale of the work. It is handsomely
bound, printed in clear type, well illus
trated, and full of very interesting
reading of a wonderful man and a mys
terious country. In addition to the
“Life of Livingstone,” the agent has
several other popular and useful books
for disposal. We have a soft spot in
our heart for the “book canvasser,”
and if his wares are worth purchasing,
as they frequently are, we wish him all
success commensurate with his own
merit, and those of his publicatione.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF* THE AU
GUSTA MARKERS.
Constitution a ltst Office, I
6 o’clock P. M., November |t2th, 1875. |
Remarks. \
The week has been a Quiet lone, and the
volume of trade somewhat limited. We are
in the condition of the prudent general,
who counted up at the end of the campaign
that he “had been lmdei atoli - successful,”
became while he had won in4victories, he
had suffered no defeats. Wfhile at other
points, a lack of confidence his been pain
fully apparent, in this city, apetter feeling
has prevailed; no failures t* note for the
week. 'i
Prices remain steady, with*i > change of
quotations. j
In cotton, the market open<|l in the early
part of the week, rather tam i. and factors
showed a disposition to s< J( at current
prices. However, during t|e last three
days, it became evident that the
receipts at ports for the! week would
not equal that of last 'Jeek, or the
corresponding week of lastfyear. Prices
took an upward turn and the jlemand from
exporters as well as consumers has been
quite act ive. The market cjises fully %c
higher than last Friday’s quotations. The
foreign markets at present, <ire evidently
regulated by the receipts *f the United
States ports, towards which they are look
ing with undivided intwest. The question
as to what this crop will amount to, comes
nearer home to us, and the will
soon narrow down to a Comparatively
small difference. It is clainle i by some of
those who have closely watched the course
of affairs, and they appear t| be in the ma
jority, that tho crop will f Jll somewhere
between tlie ligures of 4,000,1|u and 4,150,000
bales. <

The general market has; been dull, even

ded contrast to the condition of affairs pre
vailing during the preceding week or two.
1 his, however, was to be expected after tho
unusually severe "twist”jof tho October
“corner,” and matters have been gradually
adjusting themselves intoinore legitimate
shape. On futures, then* has been some
shrinkage, but spots showyhe most decided
decline on quotations, though thodecline in
actual value is considered Jberely a nominal
one, as rates were simply iirced up at the
close of last month to aid |in carrying out
tlie speculative manipulations, while it was
a well known fact that buyers who would
positively take cotton out* of tho market,
could, at all times, find . accommodation
materially below the so-cejlod ruling rates.
No positive plan of operations has been
developed for the future, neither the “bulls”
Or ‘ bears” having, as yef, sufficiently re
covered from the late tussei to venture
upon free movements, b>it rumor has it
that plans laid some ttnje ago are being
quietly matured, which wj.il culminate in
an attempt at least to handle this month’s
contracts in a manner si.jiilar to those on
October. The prospects {for success on
such a movement are as yjt very doubtful.
The effect of the recent full rales is already
to bo seen in the free arrivals at tho ports
and the steady aceumulfjlion of stocks,
-while the severe ordeal fthrough which
they have just passer induced the
“bears" to act witli great cju‘e, and prevents
much of an extension of tae “short” inter
est. The sentiment of tile entire regular
"Trade” also is most decidedly against
further “coiners” as tending to prostrate
legitimate business, aud h|irt this city as a
centre for distribution. lifieed, it is claim
ed that many of the leadirj? buyers are al
ready seeking supjdies elsewhere, and we
are told by one iirin thtf; they alone can
clearly trace a loss iu comjnissiuns of very
considerable magnitude tii che baneful in
fluence of the October “ooifier.” Customers
have flatly refused to opeijite on a market
where it is utterly impossible to decide up-,
on any fixed value for bond fide goods.
Very few orders of magnitude hare been
received on the market for futures during
thewoek, and tho current, business was
light, at times almost at ajitand, and only
kept alive by the smal£ operations of
brokers. Values have marl) light fractional
fluctuations, with the ave.fige range a lit
tle lower, but no serious baak. In view of
the full supplies in sij&it, the steady
arrivals and the absents of auy im
portant demand, tho inequation in maay
quarters has been to selL though no one
has had the bravery to dee so freely. Tho
fear is that the “bulls” a e working their
cards to induce liberal additions to the
"short” interest for a wee, or so, and then
again put on the screws. -The general in
fluences, botli foreign amj domestic, have
shown nothing particular ly stimulating,
and, taken altogether, th position, in ap
pearance at Last, was weaje.
On “ spots ” the business during tho ear
lier portion of tho period i?nder review was
quite limited aud confine,, almost exclus
ively to small parcels puked up by spin
ners to meet some urgent- necessity. Ex
porters finding “short iLtices” cheaper
than s tmplo lots negiecte.| ;he latter until
they could buy at 13% gents, and then
took enough to fill a ftf? orders await
log this limit. The regular monthly
count of stock made an aggregate
of nearly 70,000 bales, of which, how
ever, some 38,700 were on shipboard
awaiting clearance, and thus verifying the
statements of last week that shippers had
received largely on contraot. This fact
and not very encouraging advices from
abroad have undoubtedly contributed to
ward checking much fresh demand on for
eign account. The available stock here
has increased, and in nearly all case 4 was
freely offered at declining prices,the falling
off on quotations from the close on October
30th to present writing amounting to
1 1-l Ge. per lb. The amounts available' to
arrive, too, have been liberal without many
buyers, and stock at the Southern ports
was offered very cheap at times. Assort
ments few, and there is less difficulty ex
perienced in making selections than a week
or so ago.

A Valuable Work.— Dr. R. V. Pierce, of
Buffalo, distinguished in surgery, and the
general practice in the profession he
honors, has made a valuable contribution
to the medical literature of the day, in a
comprehensive work entitled “The Peo
ple’s Common Sense Medical Adviser.”
While scientific throughout, it is slnglarly
free from technical and stilted terms. It
comes right down to the common senso of
every day life. Dr. Pierce is a noble speci
men of American manhood. He has sprung
from the people; and, with many sympa
thies in common with the masses, has
sought to render them a substantial ser
vice in this the great work of his life.
