NEILL ON THE COTTON CROP
Be Predicts a Yield of 8,900,000
Bales.
Texas to Turn Out 2.450.000 of the
Total and the Other States the Re
maining 6.450,000 Bales—His Fix*
ures Based on an Acreage of 21,-
000,000 Acres and Allowing an In
crease of 10 Per Cent, in Yield
Over Last Year.
New Orleans. July 30.—H. M. Neill, the
well known cotton statistician, has
issued a circular letter, which will
be published to-morrow estimat
ing the cotton acreage for the
growing crop as 21,000.000 acres
and the probable out-turn of the
growing cotton crop, if only ten per cent
better yield per acre than last year, as at
least 8,900.000 bales. In this he allows
2,450.000 for Texas and 6.450,000 bales for
•11 the other stales. In putting forth
these figures. Mr. Neill quali
fies them by saying that it is
Impossible at this early date
to forecast the growing crop with
certainty, and that while this suggestion
of the crop is given as a conservative cal
culation of probabilities, it must not be
forgotten that the promise to-day is equal
or superior to any previous crop in every
state, and that if each state should realize
a product equal to its previous best crop
we should have an average production for
the country of 216 pounds per acre, which
on 21,000.000 acres would give a crop of
about 9,600,000 bales. Of course much
may occur to blight this brilliant pros
pect, but the conditions at present, he
says, are so good that nothing but a
calamity, such as with perfect conditions
at so late a period rarely occurs, could
bring tho crop down to even so low a
figure as 8,500,000 bales.
Mr. Neill figures that on the basis of an
8,900,000 crop, allowing American spin
ners to take 320,000 more in 1894-5 than
the past year, and with European con
sumption and supply from other countries
the sameasduring the current year, there
will be left over to be added to the visible
supply more than 1,000.000 bales excess by
Sept. 1, 1895, compared to Sept. 1. 1894,
unless such a decline in prices should
occur as would stimulate consumption
and induce spinners to carry very large
invisible stocks.
BALLY OF POPULISTS.
Watson, Hines. Horton and Bishop at
a Meeting at Waycross.
Waycross, Ga., July 30.—'Tom Watson,
Judge Hines, Thomas Morton and S. L.
Bishop were all here to-day. It was the
day they had been looking for to show
their strength, it is needless to add that
they did it. Of 500 men, women and
children, including fifty negroes, there
were about 100 third partyites. They
came from Ware, Fierce, Clinch, Coffee,
Charlton, Wayne and Appling
counties. It was a small
greeting compared with the asser
tion of some zealous third partyites that
there would be 5,000 populists here to-day.
As the democrats began to arrive this
morning it was observed that among them
were the usual number of candidates, but
the populists were backward In coming.
Judge Hines was, at 10 o'clock this
morning, introduced to an audience that
was. as has been previously stated, almost
wholly democratic. He no doubt sup
posed that his hearers were all populists,
fcut bo was soon convinced that this was
a mistake. During the speech, the popu
lists watched the democrats to see if the
judge was making progress. There was
no cheering. The democrats were talking
quietly and the third partyites were dis
posed to keep quiet.
After Judge Hines' speech Watson
made a speech. He was cheered wildly
b.v the populists It was the same old cry
of Watson two years ago, when he was
snowed under by Black. He abused the
democrats. His witty sayings and humor
ous anecdotes elicited much cheering, but
bis discussion of the issues of the day aid
not appeal to the audience.
It is safe to say that Judge Hines made
no converts here to-day.
A CONDUCTOR ASSAULTED.
Nahunta the Scene of an Attack by a
Negro Who May Be Johnson.
Waycross, Ga., July 30.—Npws reached
here from Nahunta this morning that
last night an unknown negro assaulted
Conductor Bull on the passenger train
when it arrived at that ptace. Capt.
Bull was struck by the negro
several times with a billet and
his arm badly hurt. It was dark
and lithe conductor had just stepped
off the train. The negro threw brick
bats at Capt. Bull after he had struck
him with the billet. It will be remem
bered that last night a week ago near
Nahunta. Capt. James Nelson was as
sassinated by Tom Johnson, a negro It
Is believed by some people here that
Johnson, who if still at large, was the
man who assaulted Capt. Bull last night.
It is probable that the officers will renew
their search for Johnson, now that there
is some hopes of his beingin this section.
WRENN’S SUCCESSOR.

Atlanta, Ga.. July 30.—The announce
ment of the appointment ofC. A. Bensco

Haskins; Receiver, T. H. Overby;
Coroner, N. McEeod; Surveyor, H P.
Cowan; Treasurer, W. A Furguson;
Clerk. J. W. Lancaster.
These gentlemen will be elected beyond
doubt, as the populists are so weak that
they have failed to get any one to accept
a nomination.

METHODISTS IN CONFERENCE.
Some Interesting Statements in Re
spect to Fruit.
Tifton, Ca , July 30.—The annual
Methodist conference of the Cordele dis
! trict, that has been in session here for
! several days, closed to-night. It has
been conducted by Presiding Elder
Stubbs. About 100 preachers and dele
gates have been in attendance, and the
meetings, though largely routine, have at
tracted largo congregations and much
good spiritually has been accom
plished. Among the visiting distin
guished Methodist ministers and edu
cators in attendance were. Rev. T T.
Christian of the Christian Advocate, Rev.
P. S. Twitty of the Andrew- Female col
lege. Rev. Bascom Anthony of Valdosta,
Prof. McGath of Emory college. Prof.
Demming of Wesleyan college. President
W. A. Huecaby of the South Georgia col
lege. and others.
The fruit growers of this section have
reason to be delighted at the result of
their crop. The grape crop has been very
large, and the prices have been exception
ally high. The Tifton grape has sold
along with grapes from other sections at
an advance of from 10 to 25 percentabove
their competitors. This is said to be due
to the very fine flavor of the varieties
grown here, and the care that is taken in
preparing them for market. Mr. W. O.
Tift of this place, who had the only crop
of the famous Elberta peach in
Georgia, has shipped about 300 bushels
to New York, and they have sold readily
at an average of 810 per bushel.
Judge Hines, third party candidate for
governor, and Tom Watson will address
their followers here to-morrow. The day
will be lost to them, however, for there
are very few populists in Berrien.
GEORGIA S TAX DIGEST.
A Slump of From $25,000,000 to $30,-
000,000 Looked for This Year.
Atlanta, Ga., July 30.—Tax digests
from fifty-one counties received at the
controller general's office show that there
will be a gigantic slump in taxable val
ues in Georgia this year. The fifty-one
counties that have made their returns
show an aggregate falling off of 84,600,000.
Four'out of the fifty-one counties show a
slight increase. None of the larger coun
ties have yet returned their digests. Ac
cording to the estimate of Capt. C. M. Fur
low, digest clerk of the the controller
general’s office, the total falling off in
values this year will be between $25,000,-
000 and 830,000,000. This is based on a
careful study of the figures. Last year
the digests showed a falling off of nearly
812,000,000. This was charged partly to
the operation, or rather the abolition of
the county boards of equalization, which
had increased the returns largely in 1892.
Th'- year, however, there is nothing to
attribute the slump to except the geu
eral depression of the times. I-ast year
the amount of taxable property returned
to the state was in round numbers $450,-
000.000 against $462,000,000 for 1892. Up
to 1893 there had been a steady increase
in returns for some years back, of over
810.000,000 a year. In 1890,however,the in
crease was 830,000,(KM). The big slump
this year will affect the revenue of the
state considerably. The legislature will
have to scale appropriations and ex
penses, to meet it.
POPULISTS OF LOWNDES.
J. L. Wilkes Nominated for the Legis
lature by Their Convention.
Valdosta, Ga., July 30.—The populist
convention to nominate a candidate fic
tile legislature from this county, and to
select delegates to the Waycross con
gressional convention to-morrow was held
in the court house to-day. It was at
tended by about 175 voters.
Resolutions were adopted denouncing
tho policy of the present administration
and of the democratic papers, which have
supported Mr. Cleveland's financial pol
icy.
,1. W. Hagan, the chairman, made a
speech while the committee was drafting
the resolutions and selecting names for
the legislative race and the congressional
convention. His arraignment of the dem
ocrats and his rosy hued prophecies as to
the success of their party this fall was
greeted with enthusiasm.
J. L. Wilkes was nominated for the
legislature. He is a promising planter
and a good man.
Tne populists have no hope in this
county, and their enthusiasm is only for
the moment. The democracy will sweep
the field with little trouble. A hard
fight is being made by the populists for
the negro vote.
TAXATION OF STOCKS.
The Supreme Court Renders a De
cision Exempting Them.
Atlanta, Ga., July 30.—The supreme
court to-day affirmed the decision of the
lower court in the case of the mayor and
council of the city of Macon against the
Macon Construction Company. The case
involved the interesting question of the
right of the municipality to levy a tax
upon the stock of a corporation. The su
preme court holds that the stock of a cor
poration is a liability, not an asset, and is
is. therefore, not subject to taxation by a
municipality.

GEORGIA S CONVENTION.
Indorsement of Cleveland's Financial
Policy the Main Issue.
Atlanta, Ga., July 30.—Lawyars and
well known figures in politics from all
parts of the state have begun to arrive
for the meeting of the State Bar Associa
tion to-morrow and the state convention
on Thursday. The attendance on the
bar association meeting will be unusually
large on account of the state convention
following so closely, most ot the lawyers
being interested in that event.
Col. Atkinson came up from Newnan
to-day. He will have headquarters at
the Kjmball house. It is understood that
Capt. William Howard of Oglethorpe
county will place Col. Atkinson's name
in nomination before the convention.
The absorbing question in relation to
the convention is, what will be done
about indorsing the administration. As
the clans gather and this question is dis
cussed, it becomes more and
more apparent that the issue
will be squarely made and squarely
met in theconvention. Both sides appear
to be confident and consequently are out
spoken in favor of taking an unequivocal
position. Those who stand with the ad
ministration. and they appear to be in the
majority so far, will not be satisfied with
anything half way or ambiguous. They
say they want only an honest and fair ex
pression, as the sentiment of the party,
confident that the administration de
serves and will receive the commendation
of the convention.
Those who differ with the policy of the
administration also say they are willing
to have only the outspoken sentiment of
the people. They concede Mr Cleve
land’s integrity of purpose, but want the
convention to go on record candidly as to
an indorsement of his financial views and
his construction of the Chicago platform.
KILLED ACCIDENTALLY.
Thrown From a Buggy and Skull
Fractured.
Odum. Ga., July 30.—Mrs. Polly Ben-,
nett, wife of John J. Bennett, and sister
of Mr. D. H. Moody of Brentwood, Ga.,
was thrown from a buggy yesterday after
noon by a runaway horse and instantly
killed, her head striking a stump, frac
turing her skull. The horse received a
scare at the evening passenger train on
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor
gia railroad about three miles from this
point, and about the same distance from
Brentwood. Miss Daniels and one of
Mr. D. H. Moody’s boys were in the buggy
with Mrs. Bennett. They escaped seri
ous injury, receiving only small flesh
wounds. They had been to Sabbath
school, and were returning home. The
body was taken to Mrs. Bennett’s home
at Brentwood.
Tampa Beats Gainesville.
Gainesville, Fla., July 30.—The Gaines
ville base ball club played Tampa this
afternoon. The weather was very threat
ening at the opening of the game, but
there was a good attendance. Rain fell
at times during the game. Tampa beat
Gainesville by five runs. The score was:
Tampa 9. Gainesville 4. Only eight in
nings were played. Tampa and Gaines
ville will play another game to-morrow.
SATOLLI’S WAR ON RUM.
Archbishop Corrigan Will Enforce the
Monsignor’s Decision.
New York, July 30.—The World will to
morrow say; “Archbishop Corrigan has
written a very important letter to the
editor of the Wine and Spirit Gazette, in
which he makes an authoritative
statement with regard to the
decision of Mgr. Satolli affecting
Roman Catholic liquor dealers. The
archbishop’s letter was called forth
by an editorial recently published in
the Gazette, which says of Mgr. Satolli’s
decision: “It will not be enforced in the
cities of the country. Fully two-thirds of
the retail liquor dealers of tne country
are Roman Catholics. Some of these are
liberal contributors to church funds. We
appreciate fully the delicate position in
which Archbishop Corrigan and the
other bishops of the Catholic church
in this country are placed b,v the decree
of the papal delegate. We voice the sen
timents of a large majority of the liquor
dealers of this city and Brooklyn in say
ing: ‘We dare Archbishop Corrigan to
enforce in letter and in spirit the decree
against the liquor traffic just issued by
Mgr. Satolli. the papal delegate Let the
archbishop do it and watch the conse
quences. ’
“The archbishop's letter is in his own
handwriting. In it he says: In reply to
your expressed wish, 1 have the honor to
say that I loyally accept the principles
laid down by Mgr. Satolli,
both in their spirit and to the letter.
More than this, no Catholic can refuse to
accept them.
•• As to the fear of the consequences, I
have yet, thank God, to learn what fear is
in the discharge of my duty.’
“ ‘Please remember, however, that ac
ceptance of principles is not to be con
founded with the blind application of the
same on all occasions and under all cir
cumstances." ’
A COMMENT ON THE LETTER.
■ The editor of the Gazette, P. J. Smith,
has this to say about the arch bishop’s let
ter ’The answer does not entirely and
squarely meet the issue. It is not a ques
tion o! accepting a principle laid down by
the head of the church, but of
the courage to carry out in let
ter and in spirit the principles
iust proclaimed by the papal delegate
in the face of seemingly adverse public
sentiment. The issue is: Will the arch
bishop give orders to refuse admission to
Roman Catholic societies to any one en
gaged either as principal or agent in the
manufacture or sale of intoxicating
liquors, and will he instruct the clergy to
deny the rights and privileges of the
church to liquor dealers who sell on Sun
day !'
" The declaration of the archbishop
seems to justify the conclusion that in
the discharge of his duty he will enforce
these principles, although ho does not say
so in his letter in distinct terms. Future
developments will show how far this con
clusion is justified." '
End of a Strike.
Gladstone, Mich , July 30. The strike,
in which *OO men were involved, practi

a majority of the men applied for work,
and signed contracts with the railroad

AT BRIGHTON BEACH.
Brighton Beach Race Track, July 30.
The wholesale use of the blue pencil to
day went a long way toward ruining one
of the best programmes that has been of
fered since the meeting began. The
scratches were mostly in the fourth and
fifth races, and in the latter especially
was it felt. Of the nine original entries
in this race, over half were withdrawn.
Nearly half, including the best ones, were
taken out of the fourth. The card at that
furnished a good medium for speculation,
and winners were not easily picked. The
following are the results:

A NEGRO FOUND MURDERED.
He Had Been Clubbed and Shot and
His Throat Cut From Ear to Ear.
Albany, Ga.. July 30.—While Walter
Breitenbach ana Ed Rich of this city
were fishing in Flint river, three miles
above here this afternoon, they found the
body of a large and very black negro lying
on some shoals. They rowed to the body,
and fixing a wire to one wrist of the dead
negro, floated him down to the city,
where a coroner's jury made an investiga
tion. An examination disclosed the fact
that the dead man had been clubbed and
shot, and his throat cut fFom ear to ear
The club and bullet wounds had the aj>
pearance of having been inflicted some
time, but the knife wound was fresh
and still bleeding when the
examination was held. From these facts
it is believed that the negro, whose
identity is unknown, was set upon a day
or so ago, clubbed and shot, and left for
dead in some obscure place near the
river; but that his murderers, subse
quently returning and finding him still
alive, made sure of their dark deed by
cutting his throat from ear to ear. amt
then hinging the body into the river,
where it was found.
The long continued rains are beginning
to seriously affect the cotton crop in this
section, causing it to become affected
with rust.
the third party contingent in this
county amounts to but little as far as
white voters are concerned, but the
Morning News correspondent hears from
one of the leaders that they will more
than probably put out a candidate for
both the Senate and House.
Populists Won Back to Democracy.
Waycross, Ga., July 30.—At Sehlatter
ville. in Pierce county. Col. Charles C.
Thomas of this place made a strong demo
cratic speech to-day. The audience was

negru was put in jail.
CAROLINA'S NEW CRISIS.
Tillman Proposes to Enforce the Law
ae It Never Was Enforced Before.
Columbia, S. C.. July 30.—H. H. Brun
son, the attorney for Silver, the man ac
cused of selling liquor without a license,
and whom Justice Pope refused to release
last week on a writ of habeas corpus, has
served notice of an appeal from the de
cision of Justice Pope to the whole su
preme court. Mr. Brunson alleges
error in the decision of Justice Pope
because he did not hold that the act of
1893 was identical with the act of 1892,
and had been passed upon by the su
preme court; and, second, that Justice
Pope erred in not declaring the act of
1893 unconstitutional, under both the con
stitution of the state and of the United
States.
The supreme court adjourned to-day
and Justice McGowan retires from the
bench, his place being occupied by the
former lieutenant governor. E. B Gary,
who was elected last December. This
places two Tillmanites on the supreme
bench and one conservative.
This move of the attorney for Brunson
is supposed to be at the instance of the
administration, which wishes to have the
color of law for reviving the dispensary
law and for its enforcement. The su
preme court will be asked to meet at
once and decide the matter. It is prob
able that this will be done.
The dispensaries throughout this state
will open on Wednesday, but it is thought
that the law’s enforcement will not be
stringent until the court renders its de :
cision. If the decision is favorable, as it
is supposed it will be, Gov. Tillman prom
ises to enforce the law as it was never
enforced before.
