Rome Tribune - "Those who counted Sena
tor Colquitt out of the race for the succession
have been counting without their host. There
is no longer any doubt that he will make the
race, if we may judge from his own express
ions. These statements were based on a let
ter received yesterday by a gentleman in this
city who Is a personal friend of the senator.
This letter Is before the writer her. of and
from it the following extracts are taken- I
nnd this telegram in the columns of the Con
stitution. If the correspondent Is correct
every possible competitor for the senatorship
in Georgia has a champion at Rome except my-
self ; am I so completely ignored in Rome as
not to even have my same mentioned. I have
thought and think now it is premature to dis
cuss this question, but It seems others are
discussing it and I feel a natural concern that
committals should be made in advance
of the proper time for considering the ques
tion. I have not declared mvself as a candi
date. but my friends have a right to suppose I
will be unless I withdraw from the race. AU
I have to ask of them at present Is, that if
they can prevent It they will not allow candi
dates for the legislature to be selected with a
few of opposing me.”

suddenly came together in an encounter. A
short sAffie ensued, when they fell to the
floor, Charlie on top, with his hand at Walk
er s throat. A gentleman near by attempted
to separate them, but before he could do so
two pistol shots rang out. The weapon was
in the hand of Walker, Charlie receiving the
contents in his body. It was

serious, and a physician was hurriedly sent
for. Dr. Scott responded, when the wounded
man was taken home where he lingered until
Sunday morning, and at 6 o'clock breathed
his last. Soon after the shooting Carmichael
surrendered himself to Sheriff Glass, and

trial. Justices Bunn of McDonough, Sullivan

the witnesses to the homicide, no cause of
trouble was brought out in the evidence,

sultation of the presiding officers the case
was dismissed upon the ground of self-de
fense.

New York. Feb. 3.—The Industrial stocks
still lead the share market In point of activ
ity and advance. Sugar was the real feat
ure, moving up from 78%e toßo%c on dealings
of 44,300 shares. The stock was In brisk demand
throughout, it appears that there has been
a material Increase In the short interest of
late, owing to a belief that the placing of
sugar on the free list would cause a break In
the price of the stock. Washington, as well as
local operators, sold heavily, but the ex
pected break did not come. In fact, certain
operators, when they became aware of the
extent of the short interest, made up a little
pool to squeeze the bears. The latter were
quite desperate to-day and resorted to unus
ual methods to check the rise In the stock.
First, they reported the death of ex Governor
Ames of Massachusetts, who is understood 10
he one of the largest owners of the company’s
securities, and then they killed off Director
John J. P. Spaulding of Boston. Of course,
there was not the slightest truth in either of
these stories. Outside of the demonstration
against the shorts Sugar as well as Lead,
was strengthened by rumors that the
Senate will modify the Wilson bill materially,
so far as these products are concerned, when
the new tariff measures come up before It.
Chicago Gas and Lead were strong. Chicago

New York. Feb. 3.—The Sun in Its review
of to-day's cotton market says: •'The cotton
movement , at least the movement to the ports,
begins to remind some operators of the
“widows cruise of oil.” There seems to be no
let up to it. Liverpool was still depressed, and
in fact, the European markets generally ap
pear to be overshadowed by the big crop
estimates. which have been sent
abroad from New Orleans this season.
Prices dropped here today, owing to the
port receipts and the Liverpool depression,
as well as continued long selling. Hub
bard, Price & Company were understood to
have sold 5.000 to 7.500 bales. Other commis
sion houses were selling for long account.
The short Interest seems to have been In
creased during the 1 a.st few days, although It
is still a narrow market. There was a rally
to day at one time, owing to the covering of
shorts and the fear that New Orleans
receipts might come light on Monday. But the
bears were merely frightened at their own
shadows for lhe New Orleans estimate, re
ceived just before the close was 10.000 to
11 UOU hales, against 8,389 bales last Monday
and 5,316 last year. That drove prices
back to about the lowest figures of the day,
It was stated that the continent now shows a
little more disposition to buy the actual cot
ton after the recent decline. Houses of high
standing here are receiving numerous reports
of exhaustion of the crop at the plantations
and small uncounted inierior towns. But the
arrivals at the ports are what men actually
see every day. and they have a dis
couraging effect on many who have
been operating on the long side. The
iKjrls to day received 10.ok> hales less than
last Saturday. They got 14,250 bales, but ex
pected 40 750 bales. The estimated receipts
during the coming week ranged from 90,000 to
110,000 bules against 80.477 for this week last
year, and it is said that New Orleans will get
40,1X40 bales. The maximum guesses have not
been realized for a couple of weeks. The
minimum figures have come nearest the
mark. Greeks arc said to have bought
rather freely here of late.”
New York Feb. 3 —Klordan & Cos., say of
cotton to day 'This has been a disappoint
ing week with the friends of cotton. The
promised perpendicular drop in receipts has
not yet taken place: but there has been a
material shrinkage in the movement, as com
pared with that of the four weeks ending Jan.
27. and yet prices have yielded fully 18 points
since that date. Liverpool's report was not
regarded as a bail one and our opening was
only 1 to 3 points lower than yesterday s
closing. But the liquidation of long cotton
was continued, and as the buyerpowerseemed
very limited, a furtherdecline followed, March
selling down to 7.68 c. In the last half hour,
there was less pressure to sell and a partiabre
eoveryjensued, March reacting to 7.72 c, but the
announcement that the New Orloans receipts
on;Monday would be heavy compared with the
same day last week, and last year, caused
fresh selling, and renewed weakness. The
close was barelv steady with 7.68 c bid for
March. In .seeking for the reasons why in
the face of the crop conditions that are now
admitted to be rather bullish, cotton not
only refuses to advance, but hag actually de
clined, the chief factors will be
found, to a market already overbought,
the unsatisfactory condition of trade,
and the exceeding narrowness of
speculation. At these prices very few of the
bears have the courage to sell shorts, and the
non-existence of any considerable short In
terest Is another very Important element of
weakness. On the other hand, the market
has certainly unloaded a great deal of weak
long cotton during the last few days, and is
in a position to recover rapidly if the move
ment should become small enough to supply
the stimulus. We still regard the course of
prices a almost exclusively a question of re
ceipts. -The estimates of port receipts for the
coming week range from 1C5.000 to llb.ooo
bales, against 80,477 for the same week last
season.”

A Practical Suggestion to Lower*.
This story Is not told for the benefit of those
prosaic creatures who sniff and snort at senti
mentality and love and sweet maids and noble
men, says the New York Tribune. It is told
exclusively for the people who still have a
great fondness for old fashioned lore stories,
and who read from Shelley with great fervor,
and then repeat with him: what are all
these klsslngs worth. If thou kiss not me!"
The experiences were those of young girl
In this city Her first name was Madge. Her
father has a summer cottage on the Jersey
coast. Last August James Stillwell, a worthy
young man and a friend of Madge s brother,
came from his home and business at New
Orleans to spend two weeks at the cottage. I*
was the night before he was to depart that he
and Madge strolled down on the beach after
supper. The large family In the cottage
grew annoyed, angry and sleepy in turns a*
the hours struck and the two failed to return.
Finally everybody went to bed.
Meantime Mr. Stillwell had declared hi*
passion for Madge la regulation terms, sod
they sat blissfully together on a big log. the
waves lapping softly -almost at their feot.
Tho damp fog rolling In from the sea finally
awoke them to the harrowing fact that It wan
late extremely late. Then they hurried
back to the dark and silent house. Every
body was fast asleep, but Madge was equal
to the occasion. Up and down the stairs she
tore shrieking gleefully at the top of her
lungs: “Jim and I are engaged! Jim and I
are engaged!"
Jim went home the next morning, and
Madge took a book and went and
sat on the big log all day. She sat there the
next day also, with the hook, and the day
after that. She was badly sun burned, and
sunburn didn t become her: but. then, who
was there to look nice for. anyway!
The big storm arose, and disaster came.
The log was swept away by the rolling waves.
Madge was Inconsolable. Then a miracle in
tervened In behalf of true love. The winds
and waters brought back the log, and Madge
found It on the beach. She promptly hired a
team of oxen, and had the precious trse
hauled up far beyond all wandering tides and
dashing seas.
Then Jim came again. He had tbs log
sawed in two. One halt he sent to New Or
leans. and cheerfnlly paid *3l 50 In express
charges. He bas It in nls room. Madge has
the other half 111 her room in this city. Her
father had to have the floor strengthened,
and the meu swoie frightfully getting the
thing upstairs. The bark is wearing smooth
now. and It will be comfortable to alt oa after
a few years. Besides, as Madge Mgs, It
makes such a dear phiiopeue.
