ATHENS COTTON MARKET. MADE A LEAD MINE OF HIM SWIFT VENGEANCE ON A MURDERER AND WOULD-BE rapist- A Negro Brains an Aged Lady with, an Axe and Attempted to Outrage Her Niece—A Mob Biddies Him with Bullets. Charlotte, X. C., Jan. 24. —News of a terrible crime which has few parallels in the state’s criminal his tory is received tonight from Cumber land! county near.Fayetteville. Yesterday about noon a negro by the name of Bill Brewington, who is a very desperate character, was strolling about Wade’s Station on the Gape Fear aad Yadkin Valley railroad, planning devil ment in bis heart In a little village liv ed anaged l&dy by the name of Miss Charity McAllister, and with her lived her nephew, Alexander McAllister, and young lady relative. Soon the negro had his plot perfected and when no man was near the house he entered with an axe concealed under his coat, but this he laid down secretly before anyone obsery ed him. THE CBIHE CONTEMPLATED. The crime which he contemplated was the most diabolical and fiendish. He had been told that Miss McAllister had in the bouse $400, and this he first propos ed to put in his pocket, even if murder was necessary to do it. Next, he pro posed to commit an outrage upon the person of the young lady and flee. Without making any signal, he walked though one room and closed the door be hind him,leaving his axe in a convenient place. He then, when face to face with Miss McAllister and the young lady, said. ‘‘Younglady, standstill. Don't at tempt to leave or give any alarm—if you A CIRCULAR LETTER iMuetl by m Saruuuih Guano House to their Customers. do, ipstant death will follow.” SCATTERED HER BRAINS ON THE BLOOD. He then grabbed Miss McAllister by the hands and commanded her to give him the key to her trunk.but she scream ed; and the negro, fearing her screams would be heard,dragged her to the room door where he had left bis axe and tak ing it in his handhe scattered her brains upon the floor. The young lady, who was compelled to stand by and see all this, fainted, and while they both lay upon the floor the negro ransacked the house, but lound no money. He then walked to the young lady and was in the act of committing the outrage when footsteps were heard and he ran out through the back yard to the woods. PURSUED AND LYNCHED. It was the old lady’s nephew coming and when he opened the doer. of his murdered aunt, the ghastly sight greeted his eyes. Through the window he caught a glimpse of the negro fast running into the woods. He, without waiting one mo ment, with gun in hand, started*in pur suit. Soon the news of the fearful tragedy spread and in a few minutes, more than a dozen indignant citizens with their blood boiling and well armed were on the fiend’s track. He was head ed off within about two hours and with out allowing him one moment’s grace his body was riddled with bullets. Savannah, Ga., Nov. 15, 1888,—Wjll it not pay you to keep posted about the course of the fertilizer market? We think it will, and take the liberty ot giving you our views. Prices on kainit and all manufactured fertilizers have already actually advanc ed anywhere from $2 50 to $4.00 per ton abnre last year’s figures, and we look for a still further advance later in the season in the same way and for the same reason that it came last year. At the beginning of last year the stock of fer tilizers carried over unsold in Southern Ports from the season before was not far from 45,000 tons. The demand took all this and caused every Southern fac tory to run one month later than usual, winding up the season with acid cham bers and storage bins perfectly empty, so that at the start this year no one had anything on hand, and had only eleven months to manufacture in instead of thirteen, as they had the past season— heuce the supply will not he equal to the demand. This'of itself would cause a guarded advance in prices, but manu facturers will probable not realize every advantage from this before February 1st. The actual advance, already accomplish ed has been forced upon manufacturers to their detriment by many other causes, especially the following: 1st. The miners of phosphate rock found that they must quit the business they had been conducting with loss, and they raised the price of their goods from 25 to 35 per cent, over last year’s prices. 2d; Ocean freights from England and Germany have advanced to such a high figure that all potash lots now cost much more than last year, this advance being in some cases as muclf as $3.00 to $400 per ton. This freight advance adds that much to the cost of all potash in this country, and also prevents the im portation of English acid phosphate to any extent. Formerly this foreign acid has been brought here in considerable quantities, and had a tendency to keep prices down below a profitable figurr No relief can be anticipated from this source, as freight may be still higher. 3rd. Makers of blood tankage, cotton seed meal and other sources of ammonia had their factories cleaned out by the demand last year and have charged and obtained prices this season 25 to 30 per cent, higher than last year, with sup plies still scarce and hard to bay, and certain to remain so. The same state of things apples to Northern manufac turers, but. besides this they cannot com pete successfully with the low and un profitable prices prevailing during the last few years in the South; this with the fear of adverse legislation, making it impossible to conduct their business with safety and profit, is gradually forc ing them to withdraw more and more, sending less goods every year; and thus forcing up prices as the capacity of Southern factories has not increased sufficiently to supply the quantity con sumed.

Estimates on the cotton crop for the season of ’88-89, are now in order. The merchants in the different cotton markets are making their calculations and giving the results. The crop last season amounted to 7,- 000,000 bales, and the merchants of Au gusta are inclined to place the crop at the same figures this season. The Charleston merchants place the crop at 7,500,000 bales, but it is con ceded by buyers, that they are far above the mark. Friday a B W. reporter visited several prominent buyers of this city and asked for their estimates on the crop for ’88-89. Mr. R. L. Moss was first seen, and said: “1 will place thp estimate at 6,800,- 000;’’ Mr. George Mason at the Reaves Warehouse Co. “I don’t think $ho receipts will far over 6,850,000 bales.” Mr. Joe Ash. ”1 should place the estimate at 7,000, 000 bales.” Mr. Jankower: “I think 6,950,000 hales will come pretty close to the receipts this season, Coi. S. (J. Dobbs: “The cotton crop I should say will reach 6,800,000 bales. ■ It will be neces sary to have a great increase before they reach seven millions.” Orr & Hunter: . “We place the estimate at 7,OCO,000 bales.” Capt J. H. Rucker: “I should say the receipts would reach 7.200,000 bales. f ':■■■>£ The Henderson Warehpuse Co: “We place the estimate at 7,000,000 bales.” The recent rise in cotton has caused the interior warehouses and farmers to rush it on the market. In conversation with a prominent c.tton buyer yester day, he said that the receipts at all of the cilies and, at the ports, were exceed ingly large, which showed that the far mers or the warehouses had been hold ing back for a good price.

A large crowd witnessed the drawing and everything passed off to everybody’s satisfaction. We.wish we had a buggy, a stove and a sewing machine for every subscriber on our books,but as we had oitfy one of each we had to resort to a drawing to decide as to whom to present the prizes. The drawing is perfectly simple and absolutely fair. We take our subscrip tion lists-and dr aw off every name;: that has paid up in advance. Opposite eaph name we put a number beginning with 1 and numbering to the end. We then place these numbers on* common gun wads and put them in a closed box. In another ho: we place an equal number of wads, all blank save four on each of which the name of one of tho prizes is written. Some gentleman then draws one wad at a time from both boxes until some number matches with the prizes. Suppose the wad bearing the number 25 is diawn and at the same time a wad bearing the word “buggy” from the oth er box. We refer to our list and the name opposite 25 takes the buggy and so on u&til all are drawn. The drawing took place at 5:30 o’clock, and our office was crowed, Col. Zeke Edge managed the drawing which resulted as follows: Stove—F. M. Matthews, Point Peter, Oglethorpe county. $25 in Gold—Henry Thomas, of El- berton. Bug^y—W. D. O’Farrell, of Athens. Sewing Machine—P. H. Adams, of Wilkes county. Everything passed off most satisfac torily. The prizes are held subject to the order of the winners, who will please call for them. The B.anner-Watchuan prizes were the topic of conversation Saturday. Every one seemed satisfied with the drawing, especially the winners. Those who drew blanks say they have no cause to complain, for they will get the worih of their money in the subscrip tion to the paper, - Mr. P. H. Adams, the gentleman who drew the sewing machine, is a promising young lawyer of Wilkes coun ty. He is a graduate of the University of Georgia, and at present is unmarried. Here is a chance for some girl to get a good husband, a sewing machine and a year’s subscription to the B.-W. Mr. Thomas, who won tho $25 in gold lives in Elberton, and is m the livery stable business.- He was] telegraphed Friday night of his good luck, and in reply be states that be will subscribe to the B.-W. to his dying day. Saturday he telegraphed Mr. L G. Swift, who is now in the city, to call and get his prize. It had already been sent him in the shape of a check for $25. Mr. Matthews, the winner of the stove, is a farmer in Oglethorpe county. He is of coarse delighted with the re sult of the draVRng, and has kindly in vited the B.-W. force to come out same time and partake of a\ country dinner prepared on a Charter Oak stove. CapL O'Farrell, of Athens, will take a ride in bis prize buggy a3 soon as the weather clears off and the streets ;dry. This was the leading prize given away. pany Never Who Captain Snellinss Appointed as Offi cers Friday.
