COTTON MUCH TOO CHEAP
IT IS BRINGING ONLY 7 3-10 CENTS
at the oin.
Planters Complaining That This Palls
to Pay the Cost of Production— An
Almost Unequalled Season for Har
vesting Baported-The Prices Other
Crops Are bringing.
Washington, Dec. 10.—The cotton re*
turn* of December to the department of
agriculture relate to the average prices on
the plantations. Complaint of unrera unera
tlve values is general and the declaration
frequent that the crop does not return
the cost of production. A feeling of dis
couragement pervades the reports, and a
disposition to reduce the area is expressed.
The plantation price, which is the
a tual rate for cotton soid at a
gin. averages 7.8 cents per pound. For the
nve years preceding the range was from 8.1
to 8.6, and averaged nearly 8.4 cents.
This decline is echoed In the records of
exportation, which averaged in October a
value of 8.9 oenta, against 10.11 cents for
October of last year, a dr pof 12 per cent.
The state averages are as follows: Vir
ginia 7 cents, North Carolina 7.4 cents. South
Carolina 7.4 cents, Georgia 7.4 cents, Florida
7.8 cents, Alabama 7.3 cunts, Mississippi 7.3
cents, Louisiana 7.8 cents, Texas 7.1 cents,
Arkansas 7.3 cents, Tennessee 7.3 cents.
An almost unexampled season for har
vesting is reported, with packing, ginning
and marketing far advauoed. While the
fiber is at many points short It is clean and
of good color.
PRICES or OTHKB CROPS.
Tne returns of the statistical reporters of
the department of agriculture for December,
duly consolidated, make the average farm
value of the ourrent crops of the year:
Corn, 42.2 cents per bushel; wheat, 85.3;
rye, 77.4; barley, 54.0; cats, 32.2; buck
wheat, 57.9; potatoes, 37.1; tobsoeo, cigar
leaf, 14.1 per pound; manufacturing and
extort leaf, 7.5 cents; hay, $8 39 per ton.
Tbe condition of growing wheat Is re
port -d at 85.3.
lhe price of corn is 2.9 cents per bushel
more than tie average of ten years from
1880, and only 4-10 cents less than the aver
age for the decade from 1870. In the states
of largest production the prices are as fol
lows: Ohio 41 cents, Indiana 38 cents, Illi
nois 37 oents, lowa 30 cents, Missouri 38
oeuts, Kansas 34 cents, Nebraska 26 cents.
The latter state, where corn is oheapest, lias
reported a higher value only four times in
fifteen rears, the average value In 1887 and
1890, when the yield was only about twenty
bushels per acre.
VALUE OF WHEAT.
The value of the wheat orop Is 2.5
cents per bushel higher than the
avrage of ten years from 1880 and
has been exceeded only ouoe (in
1888) since 1883. In the states of the Atlan
tic coast and those on tbe gulf of Mexioo,
except Texas, the value is from $1 to 81 15;
in the Ohio valley from 85 to 96 cents; be
yond the Mississippi from 70 in North Da,

years from 1880.
The prioes of all oereals have been re
markably sustained in view of the abund
ance of production.
CONDITION OF WINTER GRAIN.
Returns showing the conditions of the
coming crops of winter grains are not gW
erally favorable. On the Atlantio ooast
some injury is reported on early town areas
from the Hessian fly. The season was not
favorable for seeding In the south on ac
count of continued dry weather, and
germination was slow from tbe same cause.
Kains in the late autumn have improved the
prospect.
In tbe western stab* seeding was late,
the seed bed hard and cloddy, germination
slow and tbe growth feeble until November,
when material Improvement was seen in
most fields. In some districts the Hessian
fly made its appearance, causing some dam
age. lhe average of the condition of the
crop is 85.3, The figures for the
principal states of the great wheat
belt are: Ohio 80, Michigan 92, Indiana
81, Illinois 80, flowa 92, Missouri 73, Kan
sas 75, Nebraska 93, California 97. The
average for New York is 97, Pennsylvania
92. Maryland 87, Virginia 86, Georgia 96,
Texas 70.
Thq condition of rye U a little higher
than that of wheat, making au average of
88.8.

Allowed to Issue Certificates.
Atlanta, Ga,, Deo. 10. —The receiver’s
certificates authorized by Judge Newman

contractors, against the Marietta aud North
Georgia. These contractors filed a
bill attacking the mortgage given
the Central Trust Company of New York
by the Marietta and North Georgia. Judge
Key sustained the contractors, giving them
a prior lien on the road. This means that
he will not approve the order issued by
Judge Newman yesterday about the receiv
er’s certificates. The contractors have been
trying to obtain an order for the sale of the
road tor some time, and Judge Key will
now probably order the Tennessee division
of the road sold.

the move of Stephen A. Ryan’s attorneys.
Judge Marshal J. Clarke to-day granted an
order to show cause why Mr. Ryan should
1 not be released and the case will be beard
Saturday morning at 9 o’clock. The case Is
attracting a great deal of interest among
all classes. A sentiment is growing In Mr.
Ryau's favor ana a permanent release is
freely predicted. It is claimed by bis
friends that the merchant prince has not
had a fair bearing and that the supreme
court threw his case out on a technicality
without investigating its merits.
CLAIMS OF HIS ATTORNEYS.
Mr. Ryan’s attorneys say that they will
show by the sworn evidence of their client
and other witnesses that the redeposit sys
tem existed and will show that Judge Gober
made errors in i is calculations, that, if al
lowed, will make Mr. Ryan a free man
again. In short, the attorneys claim that
their client has made a complete surrender
and that this will be clearly shown to the
entire satisfaction of Judge Cla-ke, who, they
cia m, is not bound by Judge (tuber’s de
cision. The attorneys for Mr. Ryan’s credi
tors will fight the petition ou the ground
that tbe case has already been settled and
cannot be opened unless Mr. Ryan purges
himself of oontumpt by paylug over tbe

REWARDS FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR.
The Provisions of the BUI Passed by
the Legislature.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 10. —CoL Jones,
principal keeper of the penitentiary, re
turned to-day from an inspection of the
convict camp at the Dade coal mines. No
apprehension, he says, now exists there or
here that the miners will undertake to
liberate the oonvicts at that camp or any
other camp In Georgia. In response
to a request by Col. Jones, At
torney General Little has furnished
a written opinion on the law allowing oon
viots time for good behavior, passed by the
last legislature. The attorney general de
cides that every convict who deports him
self well, that is to say who has violated no
state law since being In prison,
such as fighting, outting or escaping,
is entitled to have his sentence credited
with “good behavior,” and also that, tho
time when good behavior begins is when
bad oonduct ends. If a convict has a good
record and has not fully fallen from grace,
he can still get his “good behavior"
reduction dating from the time he
behaves again. A man sentenced for one
year gets no reduction, but for tbe second
year he gets two months, and the third and
including the tenth year he gets three
months reduced from each year and over
ten he gets four months of each year
knocked off.

Killing Was Done In Self-defense.
The Negroes Ho Expects to Save
Once Sentenced to Death.
Columbia, S. C., Dec. 10. —One of the
most remarkable cases that has ever been
brought to light in this state developed
in the state supreme court yesterday,
and as a result the necks of the
ten negroes under sentence of death In
Laureus county for teh murder of Thornton
Nance, some ”nionth-.| ago, will be saved,
They were sentenced to be banged on Oct.
24 last, but their attorneys appealed to the
supreme court and the motion yesterday
was to suspend the hearing in the supreme
court and transfer it back to the circuit
court. Tbe ground of this motion was
the oonfession of another negro, Henry
Buber, who was recently arrested, to the
effect that be alone was the murderer.
THE AFFIDAVIT.
His affidavit stated substantially that he
was at the I’otts church on the night of the
murder, that shortly after tLe meeting he
started to hia home, and when about a
quurter of a mile from tho church he was
overtaken and assaulted by Nanca Then
and there, he says, he suot Nance and
killed him. He says he is not related to any
of the condemned, but felt that it was his
duty to make kuown tbe facts in order that
Innocent men may not suffer
on his account. He says further
that any statement or statements that
other persons were implicated in tho killing
is false, lie concludes his affidavit with the
statement that wheu the time comes for his
trial for his life he will give all tbe details and
show that there was absolutely no conspir
acy. He gave this affidavit to the lawyers to
be used as they may think advlsaDle for the
sake of humanity. The supreme court to
day decided the motion and sent the case
back to the circuit court for a rehearing.
MILI S OUT OF BED.
He Will Accept Either the Chairman
ship or Senatorahip.
Washington, Dec. 10.— Mr. Mills doei
not like to stay iu bed, so folding better he
got up this morning, the day being warm,
and walked up to the capitol, riding back
and lying down again. His physician thinks
he will be all right in a day or two, but that
he narrowly escaped pneumonia.
He ought not to have been
out Saturday, Monday or Tues
day', but ho felt that he must go to the
capitol. Mr. Mills oan’t talk for publica
tion about his intentions for the future
without seeming indiscreet, although he
would be glad to deny some of the state
ments about the intentions attributed to
him. It is known, however, that ha
preferred the snafor*hip to the speakership
last spring, aud will take it if his friends
get it for nim. As to the chairmanship of
ways and m ans, there is reason to believe
that he will accept that if it is tendered
him. provided he does not thiDk that his
hands would be tied respecting tariff legis
lation in doing so.

ture will be called iu March or April. The
election of a successor to John M. Reagan
will be one of the duties of the body.
Senator Chilton holds his appointment from
the governor aud although a candidate for
election by the legislature tbe friends of
Mr. Mills are said to bo confident of electing
the tariff reform champion.

AT THE THEATER.
The "Two Old Cronloa” the Attraction
To-night.
"Two Old Cronies” will be at the thoator
to-night. The farce is familiar to the ma
jority of theater-goers. It has beoa se9n
here before iu the hands of Mills, Henshaw
and Ten Broeck. This year it is in the
hands of A1 Wilson, Ed Hofferman aDd Miss
Ada Deavrs. The Augusta Chronicle says of
Wednesday night’s nerformaucein Augusta:
"Two Old Cronies” captured the house and
kept the audience in a roar from curtain to
curtain. Since the first appearance of Mills,
Henshan and Ten Brooch this laughable
skit has never been put on with such effect.
There were many now and side-splitting
jokes, and the horse play was immense. It
is burlesque and rollicking fun from the
start, and applause and laughter are con
tinuous. If you don’t want to laugh, don’t
go to see "Two Old Cronies.”
Passing Dan Roche's yesterday, says the

WAljp FROM WELAKA.
Tbe Winter to Date e Very Mild One.
Prices for Oranges
Welaka, Fla., Idea 10.—The winter to
date has been a very mild on& There has
bean only two frosts, both light ones. Good
froets are needed to make tbe oranges
sweet. Those who have shipped green and
sour o ranges, have received some very poor
returns. The fruit is now very attractive
in appearance, and the trees never looked
better in tbit sectloD. In this locality the
crop is do larger than that of la*t year, and
the same is true with respect to
tbe crop of the entire state. Prices
for orauges on the trees are about
(1 per box, which pays the grower well,
aud there should be munev et that price for
tbe buyer. Since the organization of our
home markets there is nit rhe indiscriminate
shipping to commission men as formerly.
People are busy getting In shape to handle
their orangee. John Dallow is putting up
his, and will have sums 3,000 boxes. The
young grove of Mr. Gartleman is a hand
some sight, some 225 trees, 6 or 7 years old,
baTe a crop of 600 to 800 boxes and are uni
formly full This property is held at $5,000
an l was bought two years ago for less than
half that sum. Vacant houses are
scarce and some people are looking
with a view of locating, and are well
pleased. Lands and property are now in
the market lower than ever. The saw-mill
is doing a good business. Cypress logs are
worth a good cash price. Several machines
are in operation getting cypress logs put of
the swamps on the west side of the river,
and also up the Ockiswaha river. There Is
much wealth in these swamps, but it takes
much ingenuity to get it. Several fisheries
are iu operation at this place, and one that
fishes exclusively for catfish.
