THE COTTON SITUATION.
In Some Sections It Is Doing Well, but
as a General Thins: It Is Deteriora
ting—Better Sermons Looked
For-The Other Crops.
The weekly report of the National
Bureau of Agriculture contains inter
eating matter to the farmer and mer
chant alike.
It shows the condition of cro..sall
over the U Lion and what each crop Is
doing.
On the subject of rainfall, it makes
these observations: .
More than the. usual amount of rain-
fall occurred in the northern, poriici of
the cotton regionkastox the Missis*-np|,
in southeast Florida, northeast Michi
gan and in limited areas in the Ohio
Valley and to the-west of the M>ssis-
sippi. General rains occurred a ong
the Allegheny range, while the light
showers are reported in all other sec
tions east of tl«e Jtocky Mountains ex
cept in southeast Texas. No rail, oc
curred on the Pacific coast.
The season rainfall continues to ex
cess from Alabama northwestward to
New England, and generally on the
eastern slope of the Ko--ky Mountains
as far east as the Mississippi, except
over the greater ‘portion of Louisiana,
where the deficiency amounts to about
40 per cent: of the normal rainfall; the
same deficiency exists in northern Flor
ida.
On the Pacific coast the rainfall was
generally in excess, except in central
California, where the rainfall for the
season has beeu from one to two inches
less than usual, but near Portland and
Olympia the deficiency amounts to about,
fire inohos.

Then follows a discription of the
growing crops in all the suites. Below
is given what the report ha? to say con
cerning the crops in the Southern
states:
Louisiana: The weather has been un
favorable to cane and cotton; rust and
shedding being reported from northern
parishes, and qool nights injuring the
top cotton crop. Bice is being harvest

Arkansas: The weather has been fa

of cotton has fallen off -from 10 to 25
per cent.
Texas: Unless general rains fall
within ten days late cotton and the top
crop will be light- Cool weather has

The Alms and Objects of the “United
Confederate Veterans’* set Forth—
No Politics In the Order.
New Orleans, Sept. 7.—The follow
ing is General John B. Gordon’s ad
dress to the United Confederate Vet
erans, and to all the ex-soldiers and
sailors of the late Confederate States
of America. It is published simultane
ously to-day all over the S<mtb, with
the view of calling the attention of vet
erans in every Southern state, to the
importance of forming camps without
delay, and appealing to them to join
the “Benevolent, Social and Histor
ical” organization of United Confeder
ate veterans. Any details or informa
tion desired, copies of constitution or
blanks wanted, will be promptly fur
nished by applying to General George
Moorman, aqjutint general and chief
of staff, New Orleans, La. Correspond
ence solicited.
ADDRESS OF THE GENERAL COMMAND
ING. .
. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 3. 1891.
To the ex-Soldiers and Sailors of the
Confederate States of America.
The convention of delegates from the
diflerent states which assmble in New
Orleans June 10, 1889, effreted a gener
al organization known as the “United
Confederate Veterans ” It is designed
as an association of all the bodies ot ex-
Confederate veterans and sailors
throughout the Union. The conven
tion adopted a constitution and did me
the great honor to elect me general,
which position I accept with peculiar
gratification. Preliminary to the issue
of any orders I wish to call general at
tention to the
OBJECTS OF THIS ASSOCIATION
and to enlist in their accomplishment
the active co-operation not only of every
survivor of every Southern arm, bat
also that large contingent of sons of
veterans, who, too young to have re
ceived the baptism ot fire, have never
theless received with you the baptism
of suffering and sacrifice.
The first article of the constitution of,
the association declares: “The object
and purpose of this organization will
bo strictly social, literary, historical
and benevolent. It will endeavor to
unite iu a general federation ail associ
ations of the Confederate veterans, sol
diers and sailors now in existence or
hereafter to be formed; to gather au
thentic data for an impartial history of
the war between the states; to preserve
the relics or mementoes ol the same;
to cherish the ties of friendship that
should exist among the men who have
shared common dangers, common suf
fering and privationa; to care for the
disabled and extend a helping hand to
the needy; to protect the widow and
orphan and to make and preserve
the record of the services of every mim-
bar, and as far as possible; of those of
our comrades who have preceded us in
eternity.”
The last article provides that neither
discussion of politia&l or religions sub
jects nor any political action shall be
permitted to the organization and any
association, violating that provision
shall forfeit its membership.
GOOD OBJECTS.
Comrades, no argument is needed to
secure for those objects your enthusias
tic endorsement. They have burdened
your thoughts for many years, yon
have cherished them in sorrow, pover
ty xad humiliation. In the face of mis
construction yon have held them in
four hearts with the strength of relig
ious convictions. No misjudgment can
defeat your peaceful purposes for the
future. Tour aspirations have been lif
ted by the mere force and urgency of
surrounding conditions to a plane above
paltry consideration of partisan. tri
umphs. The honor of the American

Republic, the just pow
al government, the equal
states, the integrity of the constitution
al union, the sanctions of law and the
enforcement of order have no class of
defenders more true and more devoted
than the ax-soldiere of the South and
their worthy descendants. But you
realise the great truth that a people
without the memories of
heroic suffering and sacrifices are
A PEOPLE WITHOUT A HISTORY.
To cherish such mt m iries and recall
such a past, whether crowned with suc
cess or consecrated in defeat, is to
idealize principle and strengthen
character, intensify love of country and
convert defeat and disaster into piW
lare of support fur future manhood and
noble womanhood. Whether the
Southern people nnder their
changed conditions. may
ever hope to witness another civili za-
tion which shall equal that which be
gan with their Washington and ended
with their Lee, it is certainly true that
devotion to their glorious . past is not
only their surest guarantee of fnture
irogress and the holiest bond of unity;
>ut is also the strongest claim they can
present to the confidence and respeot
of the other sections of the Union.
NON-POLITiCAL.
In conclusion I beg to repeat, in sub
stance at leut, a few thoughts recently
expressed by me to the state organiza
tion, which apply with equal force to
this general brotherhood.
It is political in no sense except so far
as the word “political” is a synonym
of the word “patriotic.” It is a broth
erhood over which the genius of phil
anthropy and patriotism, of truth and
of justice will preside; of philanthropy,
because it will succor the disabled, help
the needy, strengthen the weak and
cheer the disconsolate; of patriotism
because it will cherish the past glories
of the dead Confederacy and transmute
them into living inspiration of fnture
service to the living republic; of truth,
because it will seek to gather and pre
serve as witnesses for history the unim
peachable facts which shall doom false
hood to die that truth may live; of
justice, because it will cultivate na
tional as well as Southern fraternity,
and will condemn narrow
mindedness and prejudice and passion,
and cultivate that broader, higher,
nobler sentiment, which would write
'on the grave of every soldier who fell
on eitherside: “H'eielies an Ameri
can hero, a martyr to the right as his
conscience conceived it.”

Big Shipment by Lake.
Chicago, Sept. 7.—Vessels were char
tered here to carry 1,750,000 bushels of
grain to Buffalo. Not only were all the
boats now in port taken by the grain
hat nearly all the fleet to
ve here this week were also char
tered in the rash. Every vessel on tUe
; {Teat-lakes not tied down by contracts
uhis week was called for and still the
shippers wanted more. Rates were ad
vanced to the basis of 3 cents on corn
and 8£ cents on wheat. The rush was
understood to he owing to the fact that
the corn clique, who had largely sold
their holdings for October shipment
from New York decided that it was
now time to get it started from Chi
cago.
Horrors of an Insane Asylum.
Parkersburg, W. Va., Sept. 7.—A
detailed acconnt of the horrors of at the
Western Insane asylum in this state
have been made public. Suicide has
followed suicide, it is charged, for some
time among the inmates, and they have
all been attended by the most horrible
circumstances. Men have killed them
selves by boiling to death and suspen
sion by ropes from windows. All this
has been done in sight of the guards,
and no investigation has been made.
There seems to have been no inquests
on the dead, and a general inefficiency
is manifested in the management.
Plans for a High Building.
Chicago, Sept. 7.—Plans for the Odd
Fellows’ Temple to be erected in this
city have been prepared. They provide
for a building as high as the Washing
ton: monument. The entire ground
space is bnilt np to a height of fourteen
stories. Above tins the building ex
tends six stories in the form of a square
cross, the four spaces at the angles of
the main building veing left vacant.
Above this is a tower-shaped structure
fourteen stories high, making thirty-
four stories altogether, with an aggre
gate height of 556 feet. The estimated
cost is $2,500,000. The ground space
covered is to be 177x233 feet.
Double Tragedy on a Steamship.
San Francisco. Ang. 7.—Ceylon ad
vices give details of a doable tragedy
which occurred on the steamship Ho-
henzollem, which left Aidelaide Jane
22. Lawrence M. Davidson eloped with
iffiaa Ayliffe, his wife’s sister, and re
ported to be a daughter of the register
general of births of Aidelaide. A war
rant had been issued for their arrest,
and it is presumed this came to their
knowledge, fer, as the vessel reached
port, Davidson shot himself through
the head and the girl swallowed
nine, dying shortly afterwards.
An Old House Assigns.
Baltimore, Sept. 7.—John Moore and
Charles J. Moore, trading at Robert
Moore & Co., wholesale dealers in doth
on Baltimore street, near Hanover
street, have made an assignment for the
benefit of the creditors for Carl Victor
trustee. The bond was for $100,000.
The firm has been in existence about

Atlanta, Ga., Sept 8 —[Special.]-
The special order this morning was
Mr. Dun woody’s pilotage bill.
This bill seeks to amend the pilotage
laws, so as to create a compulsory sys
tem of pilotage for coastwise vessel as
well as for those coming from foreign
points. It prescribes other amendments
to the pilotage laws,&nd states the num
bers of lioensed pilots who shall serve
at each along the Georgia coast
Mr. Dunwoody made a strong speech
advocating the passage of the bill. He
presented many strong arguments as to
why a compulsory sytsem of jiilotage
was necessary for all vessels entering
the seaports of Georgia, coastwise as
well as foreign vessels. He oonld not
see why one class should *be excepted
and the other class he compelled to em
ploy pilots.
The . opposition to the measure he said
came for monopolists and vessel;owners
who here opposed to paying the pilo
tage, and was confined to a few men in
Savannah who belong to this class.
He then went on to show how the pi
lots were a protection to life and prop
erty, and in this capacity they imperill
ed their own lives to protect vessels.
Pilotage was taxation for the benefit of
commerce. It would also protect the
pilots who were honest laborers.
Mr. Norman of Liberty opposed the
bill as he stated it would have a tendency
to increase the freight rates on lumber
and naval stores to such an extent that
the profits would be swallowed up.
Foreign vessels were contracted by
foreign capital and should be made to
pay the tax, while home vessels should
be given some privileges.
Mr. Ryals, of Chatham, thought the
measure a manifestly nnjostone. The
measure was a compromise measure,
and had been settled six years ago to
Savannah’s entire satisfaction. He saw
no necessity for the bill and hoped it
would not be passed. He moved to dis
agree to the report of the committee.
This motion was lost, the ‘report was
agreed to and the bill was passed. .
to garnish wages.
The substitute for the bilL by Mr.
Ethridge of Houston to amend section
3554 of this code so as to make 25 per
cent of the wages of money men, me
chanics,and day laborers Bubject to gar
nishment was taken up for a third read
ing.
For this bill Mr. Holtzclaw of Hous
ton offeied a substitute making oue
half of such wages garnisbable where
they were not under $20 per month.
He thought that daily, weekly and
monthly wages should be garnisbable
to this extent in order that a man might
he made to pay his honest debts.
Mr. Reid of Putnam thought some
such laws should be enacted for the pro
tection of the merchants of the country.
He favored the substitute of Mr. Hoi-
tzelaw.
Gilbert of Muscogee said he could not
refuse to vote for an honest measure,
at present only 2 per cent of the business
men of the country succeeded in. their
business, and only40 percent, made a
living. The others generally failed be
cause the law* of the country were in
favor of the dishonest man. This j bill
should pass so that the poor man and
the laborer would not be compelled to
pay in part, the debts of the dishonest.
Mr. Everett; of Stewart, opposed the
bill and substitute, as he thought the
whole of a man’s wages should be sub
ject to^ garnishment.
Mr. Swain, of Gordon, opposed it
also, and Mr. Humphreys, of Brooks,
moved to indvfiuitely postpone the
whole matter.
This motion wuY adopted, and this
kills the bill for this sesion.
REQUEST REFUSED.
Mr. Ryals, of Chatham, asked that
the .pilotage bill be withdrawn from the
senate where it had been transmitted.
Mr. Hartridge spoke in support of
this request, saying that he though
some measure could be formulated
which would be just to all concerned.
Mi. Dunwoody opposed the request
which was refused.
A resolution for the releif of Mrs,
Juiia McConnell, widow of an ex-Con-
federate soldier was passed.
Mr. Williams, of Richmond, intro
duced a, hill to provide that hereafter
sheriff’s sale in Richmond county shall
be at the court home instead of at the
market boose.
Mr. Landrum’s bill to appropriate
$5u0 to renovate and repair the portraits
of distinguished men which are now
stowed away in a room in the capitol,
and to hang them in appropriate places
was passed.
IN THE SENATE.
The only thing of importance done in
the Senate 1 was the passage of the school

Auburn. Sept. 7.—The report issued
from the state polytechnic institute by
Director P. II. Mell, on the weather
conditions in Alalvuna, furnishes valua
ble information. The rainfall was be
low the aven ge for the week just closed.
The August ci routlx continued, until the
latter part, ot tue week, but the rains
that fell on the 2d and Sd were general
over Alabama, and the long dry spell
seems now to be broken. The weather
has continued cool with an average per
centage of sunshine.
Until the middle of the week the sea
son has continued unfavorable for all
growing plants, and the condition of
cotton report-din. the last bulletin re
mains unchanged. The showers that
came on the 2d and 3d, though greatly
beneficial to all crops-hku’turnips ana
potatoes, still they are rather late to be
of much advantage to the cotton. The
weather is more than apt to-be more or
less cool from this date until the crop is
gathei ed. so that all bolls that are form
ed after Sept. 10 are not apt to to ma
ture very good staple unless the season
is unusually backward.
It is currently believed that even
though the cotton crop is cat off, and
there will he, in . all probability, a
smaller yield than that produced in
1890, still the -fanners will realize more
money from its sale, became the strin
gency of the money market has pre
vented the banks from advancing on the
crops as large as in former years, and,
therefore, the fanners, as a general role,
have pat the crop in and will harvest it
with less borrowed money. There is
another encouraging fact in the outlook:
The large amount of corn that has been
gathered in all sections of the state has
considerably reduced the quantity of
western corn that has heretofore been
bought by the farmers.
