Lo|ies was into his cups too deep last night, but he was dragged from thence to the Barracks when* he made night hide ous. His howls could he heard for half a dozen blocks. He rattled the iron doors and screamed to his heart's content, He told the turnkey that he was going to com mit suicide before the night was over; that h had just enough I“hlnky-pinky” in him to kill himself. The turnkey offered to pass rum in n |cl>th* lin* but the hinkv-junky seemed to have oozed out and he did not accept it. He will appear before the Mayor to-mon-ow SHORT HAND WRITERS. The Objects of the Proposed State As sociation. The movement among short hand writers to organize a State Association is generally indorsed by the fraternity. In the past few years short hand has tieen brought Into gen eral use by all largo mercantile houses and corporations, until It Is looked ujon as an absolute necessity for the transaction of bus iness. The number of short hand writers is increasing at a rapid rate and like all other professions, it contains good, bad and indif ferent members who can be had at salaries commensurate with their ability. “There are,” said a short-bond writer of a dozen years' experience, to a Mor.vi.no News reporter last night, “many who enter upon the study us a mere mechanical trade, and who overlook entirely the intellectual qualifications which are indispensable to a due fulfillment of the multifarious functions of a short hand writer. To iearn to write phonetically eighty or ninety words a min ute,” he added, “can be accomplished in a few months, but that is simply a beginning, and yet thore are many who ac cept positions when thev have become thus far advanced, and with but limited scho lastic training. Even should they attain the requisite speed for all practical purposes, and not more than one in ten ever does, their lack at knowledge of the rudiments of the English language unfits them for the practice of the profession. Unaware of the extent of their own ignorance and totally unconscious of their mistakes, they blunder through their notes, producing a mass of un connected and unintelligible sentences. “The profession should lie elevated to where it properly belongs, and to accomplish this is one of the objects of the proposed organi zation. An effort will be made to secure the adoption of a rule requiring all appli cants for membership to pass a rigid ex amination in all that pertains to tho qualifi cations of a good shorthand writer. This will Im* a protection to those desiring steno graphic help, mid a certificate of member ship in this association will be sufficient evidence that the holder is a competent stenographer, and not a mere writer of ‘pot hooks.’” KNIGHTS OF LABOR LAW. The Order’s New Constitution to Go Into Effect This Week. The now constitution of tho Knights of Labor will go into effect to-morrow. Action on the passage of tho new laws by the local assemblies was taken by the general board on July 3, and on Friday, as stated in the Mornino News, the formal promulgation of the constitution was made. The follow ing circular has been received by the Savan nah assemblies: “To the Order, wherever found , Greeting: By order of the General Executive Board official notice is hereby given that the now constitution of the order, together with the regulations governing the formation of na tional trade assemblies, having received the requisite number of votes of the local as semblies, as provided by the General Assem bly, at Richmond, October, 183(1, is hereby officially promulgated as the constitution of the order, to take effect ori and utter Mon day, July 11, 1887. As many and important changes have been made, organizers and officers, as well as members, are urged to carefully study the new constitution and faithfully observe its provisions. ” SOUTH GEORGIA MELONS. An Experimental Shipment by Ex press to Boston. The Savannah, Florida and Western rail road sent fifteen carloads of melons from Valdosta on Friday night to Boston by an express train. This is the first shipment of the kind to that city, and the experiment is watched with considerable interest. Four hundred and eighty carloads of melons have been shipped to inaket this year from South Georgia over the Savannah, Florida and Western rood. When it is remembered that these melons bring from SBO to $!<X) per car at the stations from which they are shippod it will be seen that melons bring quite a handsome sum of money into South Geor gia every year. OVER IN CHARLESTON. What la Going on in South Carolina’s Metropolis. The New Brighton Hotel has been opened for the season. Charleston will have an examination for the West Point military cadetship on Tues day. Policeman Quinn, who was shot in the hand while arresting the burglar, Sen brook Allen, is recovering and will return to duty in a few days. Allen is still at the hospital in a critical condition. Tin' physicians have not yet been able to locate the ball, and until this has been done it will he iin possible to formally estimate of the putient’s danger. Mrs. Alice S. Gaskins, of Windsor, N. C., is anxious to have sonic information concern ing her brother, Thomas J. Webb, whom she has not heard from since 1577, when he was employed in the Courier office in Charleston. Her husband has been sent to the insane asylum, and she has been left with a family of eleven children to support. The counters of the several banks and savings institutions have presented a lively scene for several days past. Groups of men and women might have been seen busi ly engaged in collecting dividends and in terest, and with cheerful and contented faces stowing away the shining coin and greenbacks in capacious pockets or satchels. 'The amount thus distributed hv the various institutions is estimated at about $£“>0,000, and the money market has in consequence been decidedly easier. Local Personal.

What Would the World Do without woman f ssks the essayist who starts out to say somethiug new on this oft-treated subject. Of course, the human element of the world would not exist without woman, so the question is gratuitous. It would have l>een far more sensible to ask: What would the world do without the salvation of women, without a panacea for her physical ills and a cure for her peculiar diseases! In a word, wjiat would the world do without Dr. Pierce’s “Favorite Prescription," tile great remedy for female weaknesses! R is indispensable for the ills of womankind. THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JULY 10, 1887. KINGCOTTON PROSPERING ONLY ENCOURAGING REPORTS FROM THE PLANTERS. Tho Depression of the Past Two Years and Its Effect—A General Belief in Higher Prices During the Coming Year -An Extraordinarily Large De mand for Money from the Planters— An Early Gathering Looked For. The cotton crop that is now growing will probably excite more interest than any that has been raised for several years past, for the reason that cotton is almost as good as a barometer of coniine, rial excitement or de pression as iron. It is tho key of commer cial prosperity in the South, and exerts a much more potent influence in this section than does iron, and the success or failure of n crop is of a great deal more importance to the South than the rise or fall of the iron market is to the North. The last two years have witnessed a period of depression. Tho price of cotton declined and remained at a figure that was generally conceded to lie low, but the revival in trade has given promise of a more successful season this coming year, and consequently planters and factors are watching the cotton crop to see what its possibilities are. The reports that have been received so far aro most encour aging. It is true that the heaviest damage to the crops comes in August, still the July reports are such as to encourage the factors into the belief that even after sus taining the customary damage the crop will be an unusually large one, and the return it will bring will be eminently satisfactory. Burin., Clay, Dodge, Dooly, Dougherty, Houston,Jefferson, 1 .aureus, Mitchell. Pula ski, Striven, Thomas, Twiggs, Washington, Wilcox counties of Georgia, and Jeffersouand .Madison counties in Florida, have all sent in very full reports of the condition of the crops, and on tue whole they are flattering. The stands aro all good and give promise of an abundant yield. The fields are clean and are kept in good condition. The plants are healthy and soera strong enough to with stand Che evil influences to which they are subjected. A short while ago there were some com plaints from up the river of a need of rain, but, the plantations there have hat all they needed. The rains have been general, ana while some sections have had quite as much as they need, there has not been too much any whore. The rains have come opportunely for there was danger of drought in some l>arts of the country but that has passed now, and unless there is an unprecedentedly dry spell from now until harvest, there will tie no trouble from want of water. The dry weather that, preceded the rain has, howev er, forced the plant to some extent and it will result in the gathering of of more early cotton than is usual. On account of the dullness of tho past two years, planters have borrowed more money on their stands than usual. The fac tors have advanced more than they are accustomed to, but they are compensated for that in the more hopeful outlook of the crop. Some planters who borrowed nothing last year have boon in for money this year, and in a number of cases tho factors nave had applications for loons from others than their regular customers. In many instances these applications have been refused because of the condition of the money market. The depression of silver in London and the East India trade has caused a sympa thetic depression in the trade of this coun try and a consequent tightening of money. This has resulted in higher rates of interest and prevented tbe factors from doing what they would liked to have done for tho plant ers. They borrowed money from the banks at 5 and 6 per cent, last year, but they can not get it for less than 7 per cent, this sum mer, and, therefore, they have been forced to curtail their loans, to the inconvenience of the planters. But still that is only a temporary disadvantage, for in a short while cotton will begin to move and the stringency of tho market will be relaxed. GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS. Matters of Money and Management About Various Lines. Secretary Schwa n, of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad says respect ing the declaration of a dividend on the first preferred: “No meeting has yet been called for that purpose, but It is not unlike ly that notices may be sent out this week.

A Philadelphia dispatch to the New York Times says: A smooth-faced, thick-set, young looking man, attired in a gray suit and accompanied by two handsome young women, stepped briskly up to the desk at the Continental Hotel office this afternoon and registei-ed in a plain round back hand, “Thomas A. Edison, Orange, N. J.” The young women were his wife and sister-in law. He appeared to be enjoying the best of health, anu said the stories about his being at the point of death while in Florida were without foundation. He said he had coine to Philadelphia to purchase electrical ap paratus lor his new laboratory at Llewel lyn, N. J. In speaking of the Florida trip, lie said be was well pleased with the climate and that he had el ected a permanent labo ratory ou the banks of the Caloosahatchie river, where he will continue his experi ments every winter. One of his most inter esting experiments was in submarine signal ing, by which messages can he transmitted from ship to ship by means of steam whistles operated by keys in the same manner as telegraphic instruments. All his experiments so far have been confined to the waters of the Caloosahatchie, where he has succeeded in conveving intelligible messages a distance of one mile. The principle on which he will endeavor to perfect his experiment is the remarkable facility afforded by water for transmitting sound. Divers in the ocean have heard tlie swish of a steamer's wheels fifteen miles away, and Mr. Edison thiuk:fhe can trans mit his message from ship to ship a distance of at least seven miles. What he purposes doing after he has perfected his apparatus is to have the large ocean steamers equipped with the steam whistle* and transmitters. Under the water line of each steamer will be a sounder, connected with the captain’s cabin by a thin transmitting wire running through a tube. When the captain of one vessel wants to signal another, he will sit down to his keyboard, turn the steam on Ills whistle, manipulate the keys, and send the message out into the waves that break against the sounder. This sound will pass unbroken from wave to wave with remarkable velocity, until it runs up against the sounder of some vessel or vessels which may happen to bo within reach of the volume of sound. As soom as the wave containing the sound strikes the sounder on the hull of the vessel or vessels within reach, the message will run over the electrical wire to the Captain’s cabin, where it will ring an electrical bell. An attendant will then take down the mes sage as it comes from the water, by moans of telegraphic keys, as comfortably and correctly as though he were sitting in one of Jay Gould’s Western Union Telegraph offices receiving news about one of Jay Gould’s big deals. After the message has l>een received the Captain can swing his vessel around, and continue the message through seven miles of water in the same direction, until it strikes another steamer, when the opera tion may be repeated until the whole breadth of the ocean lias been crossed. It will also be useful as a means of signaling by a vessel in distress. Bucklon’s Arnica Salve.
