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. the; chop . ssrr cation. 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 ed with good yields. Warm rains need ed. - - * Arkansas: The weather has been fa vorable to all crops save cotton, which continues to deteriorate; the cool nights have heenjnjurions and the condition 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 checked the ravages of the boll vtbrrn. Cotton picking is progressing rap'dly. Ground is too dry for plowing. Tennessee: The growth of cotton eked by cool nights. 'Ate tobacco doing well. Pall AT TENTION VETERANS. GEN. GORDON SPEAKS TO HIS OLD COMRADES IN ARMS.

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 GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.

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.” GENERAL ORGANIZATION.

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.

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.

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 bill which requires that all the public schools in the State shall be held for six months during the year. It also makes each militia district a school district. This is a sub stitute for several hills reported by the Senate Educational committee of which Senator Irvine is chairman. They will Halte Money This Year Not- w.th-taniUnjr the Short Crop. 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. LABOR DAY. Workmen Have a Great Time Throaeh- out the Canntry. Atlanta, Sept. 7. —Labor day was r served generally throughout the juntry, especially in the larger cities was the day a festive one, and thon- -ands of honest American workmen gathered together while the bands were playing and flags were flying and form ed lines -of marches, that contained in each hundreds of men who gain their daily sustenance by the sweat of the brow. The greatest parades were had in Chicago, New York: and Baltimore, hat those m other cities were none the less grand in considering the relative sizes. VThai Old Crow Saw. Guthrie, L T., Sept; 7.—Cfid Crow, the Cheyenne chief who went to Pine Ridge agency a few-weeks a«o in search of the Messiah, has returned, and is now engaged in detailing to his brethren on FonrMile creek the wonderful things he saw. Old Crow also visited Walker’s Lake, Nev,, at which place he says he saw myriads of fairies who were the recognized children of Christ. He re ports all the Indians in that region as dancing, a> l declared that he will re turn to Walker’s Lake in a week or two and pursnadd the new Christ to come here with him. His influence with the Indians here is rapidly increasing, and he now has a large number of followers. Elopement and Death. Washington, Aug. 7.—The wife of T. A. Mitchell, a real estate agent of this c. j, eloped in July with Lomas K. Hall, a printer. Mrs. Mitchell is of Italian birth, and Mr. Mitchell took a fancy to her while she was selling matches. The eloping couple went to Baltimore, where Hall was taken se riously ilL He was brought to this, city by bis mother, while Mrs. Mitchell left tor paits unknown. She was arrested iniHagerstown: Md., at about the same time Hall died in Washington. Mrs. Mitchell was arrested at the instigation of her husband. Martin Caused the Shortage.
