THE GEORGIA COTTON CROP*
The following Georgia special in
the New York Times gives some in-
formation of the cotton crop in this
State:
"From first to last there has not
been a rainy day daring the cotton*
picking season, so that the entire
crop presents the highest grade. The
unexcelled weather for picking is also
a guarantee that the crop has been
pretty well marketed.
"Now attention is being directed
toward the size of the crop saved.
To take one county as an example, it
is estimated that the cotton crop of
Talbot county will be 2000 bales
short, which, at 9 cents, (the pre
vailing price in former years,) would
amount to $90,000. Then the pres
ent indications are that there will be
a falling ofi of about $7 50 per bale
in the price of this year’s crop, which
is estimated at about 10,000 bales in
the connty, making another loss of
about $75,000.
'These two sums added amount to
$165,000, or a redaction in the rev
enue from the cotton crop of about
$12 each on the county’s 14,000 in
habitants. This would indicate a
shortage of 200,000 bales throughout
the State.
has already said : "Nothing can be
done, however, without money. But
where is the money to come from ?
There are very few who wonld con
tribute more than a few dollars un
less they would be benefited by hav
ing Georgia represented at the fair.
And they wonld contribute nothing
at all unless they could be assured
that the exhibit wonld be one of
which Georgians would not be
ashamed.”
The first thing to be done, there
fore, is to get the railroads interested
in the matter. Let them seek to
make it a great display, then others
will follow, relying upon it that the
exhibit will be snch as the Empire
State of the South will be glad to call

LARRY GANTT’S ADVICE-

ance Farmer urges the farmers to
hold back their cotton. He says:
We are opposed to meddling in
the private affairs of our members,
and while frequently asked for our
advice about selling cotton, we de
clined to express an opinion.
But since the staple has gone be
low eight cents, we say to every far
mer in Georgia, don’t sell a bale un
til an advance takes place. It costs
you more than the price now paid to
raise cotton, and don’t give away
your toil to the speculator.
There is no cause or reason for
this decline in price. The crop is

A CUTTING SCRAPE
TOOMBS DUBOSE SICK.
The numerous friends of Rev. F*
T. DuBose, all over Georgia, will be
seriously concerned to know that he
has been quite sick at bis home in
Chickamauga for the past few days.
Mr. DuBose was taken very criti
cally sick last week and a telegram
was received by his relatives here in
Athens a few days ago sammoning
them to bis bed-side.
The latest news from the sick man
is that he has typhoid fever, and is
quite dangerously ill, though evis
dences of improvement are noted.
Rev. Mr. DuBose is well known all
over this part of the South. He is a
grandson of the immortal Robt,
Toombs, is a graduate of the State
University, has been one of the lead
ing editors of Georgia, and is now
prominent among the ranks of Meth
odist ministers.
Everybody hopes to hear of his
recovery.

Columbia, S. C., Nov. 26.—Another
personal encounter occurred in the
state house. This time it was between
A. E. Gonzales, general agent, of The
State, and M. F. Tighe. correspondent
of the Charleston News and Courier.
Gonzales approached Tighe and, pro
ducing a copy of the News and Courier,
read therefrom« portion of Tighe’s ac
count of the other fights, which he de
nounced as a lie Upon repeating it.
Tighe struck him. Gonzales responded
by kitting Tighe under tbe left eye, cut
ting a gash which bled profnsely. The
two men then clinched and rolled over
on. tbe floor, Gonzales being on top.
Both men fought gamely for several
minutes. Finally, when they had both
got up, Tighe said:
“You are my physical superior, but
m fight you in any way a gentleman
ought to fight, and I challenge you
now." -r -
Gonzales implied that Tighe could get
all the fight he wanted out of him in
any way ho desired.
Tbe row occurred just outside the
door of the hall of the bouse of repre
sentatives, whilst that body was in
session, and many members rushed out
tothesbene. Shortly thereafter Repre
sentative Burns brought the affair to
the attention of the house, but action
was postponed.
Such was the remark that was pro
voked by the scenes in} and around
Athens yesterday.
The fourteenth amendment was on
hand by a large majority and the
crowded streets were black with ebon
It was a scene that locked more like
“do Fofe o’ July” than a Thanksgiving
day in midwinter. Rut it was nothing
more than everybody at all familiar
with the customs and faith of the col
ored brother, knew it would be.
Whenever the negro gets off on
“holler-dsy” he seeks the biggest
crowd that "he can fiud. If there hap
pens to be a circus anywhere near at

certain to be right there and nowhere

lower regions couldn’t frighten them

THE MACON CONVENTION.
December tbe fourth is the day
set apart by the citizens of MacoD
for holding a convention of Georgia
editors for tbe purpose of arriving at
some plan whereby tbe State of
Georgia may si cure a display of her
unbounded resources at the World’s
Fair in Chicago.
Id spite of the flat and decided re
fusal of the Georgia legislature to
pass a bill appropriating money to
tbe World’s Fair exhibit from Geor
gia, the people of the State are very
enthusiastic in their desire to have
their Ctnte represented there. They
are not responsible for the many
foolish and obstinate doings of the
Georgia legislature, and this is one
of them. The people of Georgia
