SOMETHING TO REMEMBER.
The Baltimore Sun. after elab
orately reviewing McKinieyism,
closes thus:
“Last, but not least worthy of
the consideration of southern demo
crats, let it not be overlooked that
McKinieyism means the revival of
sectional legislation as a national
policy. The warning has gone
forth from more than one repub
lican platform that Mr. Bryan’s de
feat, and the hoped for election of
a republican congress with Mr.
McKinley, will be the signal for
an effort to deprive the south of a
number of seats in congress and of
a corresponding number of votes
in the electoral college. The pre
text hr this will be the steps which
certain southern states have taken
to protect their suffrage from a de
luge of ignorant and vicious vot
ers and thus defend themselves
from abominations of negro rule.
"Can there be any doubt about
the duty of every democrat in the
south in this election? Does not
McKinieyism stand for everything
which injures and menaces the
well-being and the progress of the
southern people? Surely if there
ever was a national contest in
which the south had the strongest
and best reasons for throwing her
electoral strength solidly against
the republican nominee for pres
ident this is the one.”

Interesting figures Collared by
Manufacturers’ Record—Next
p.<ve~e Figures in 1865
Bankers in the country towns of
the south come in close contact
with their local agricultural, in
dustrial and business interests, and
are in a position, therefore,to judge
accurately of those conditions and
to reflect the sentiment of their
respective communities. Recog
nizing that fact and believing that
just ai present conditions are most
interesting iu tne south, the Man
ufacturers’ Record recently sent a
letter to a bank in every county
seat of the south asking for infor
mation as to present facts and as
to the outlook for the fall and win
ter. In reply many letters have
been received and are published in
this week’s i>stie.
The majority of them, coming
from the cotton growing sections,
point out that while the crop is
short, the very high prices now
prevailing will more than offset
the small crop and give the farmers
greater profit on cotton than for
many years. Some of the letters
from other portions of the south
are less hopeful by reason of the
small corn crop, due to the severe
drought.
In connection with the cotton
situation, it seems probable that
the crop wil! be at least 9,000,000
bales, and possibly more, though
some able experts anticipate that
the yield will be considerably less.
Even should the crop reach 9,500,-
000 bales, the great shortage in
the world’s supply will probably
maintain prices at not much be-,
low the present level ot about 10
cents a pound, or, roughly speak
ings say SSO a bale and if it should
tall below this figure, prices ought
to correspondingly advance. On
the basis of 9,500,000 bales, this
would give a valuation of $475,
000,000, whicn would be by far the
most valuable cotton crop raised in
this country.
That of 1865-66, raised just af
ter the close of the war, when cot
ton was commanding an average
of nearly S2OO a bale, and when
the crop was 2,200,000 bales,yield
ed $432,000,000, and the next was
the crop of 1890-91, of 8,600,000
bales, which was worth $430,000,-
000. The average value of the
cotton crop of the six years from
1893-94 to 1898-99 was $300,000,-
000, the lowest in that period be
ing $282,000,000 for the crop
of 1898-99, which was 11,274,000
bales. Last year’s crop of 9,400,-
000 bales yielded $363,000,000, or'
$81,000,000 more than the preced
ing crop. On the basis of a pos
sible valuation of $475,000,000 for
this year’s crop, the difference to
the south as compared with the
| crop of 189 S-99 would be over
,$190,000,000. Taking last year’s
crop and this crop together, and
the total valuation on tlie basis of
an estimate of $475,000,000 for
this year’s will be $838,000,000 for
the two years, against $602,000,000
for the two preceding years, show
ing a difference in favor of the
cotton planters of the south of
$236,000,000 for two small crops,
against the two preceding crops,
-ach of which exceeded 11,000,000
bales.
It is, of course, possible that the
yield will not only fall below
9.500,000 bales, but, if this should
be true, the price would probably
advance to a point sufficient to
make up the difference. But even
with 9,000,000 bales at the present
selling price of SSO a bale, the
value would be s4so,ooo,ooo,which
would still be the most valuable
cotton crop which the south ever
produced.
With a probable valuation of
$450,000,000 this year, and pos
sibly a still higher value, the south
will doubtless be in better financial
shape than for many years.
Is 1890-91 a crop of 8,650,000
bales, the average price per pound
of middling uplands in New York
for the year being 7.03 cents,
brought $430,000,000, and from
this figure there rapid de
cline to $264,000,000 in 1892-93.
One of the indications of changed
conditions in the south is activity
in railroad building. While thi>
is general in nearly all southern
states, it is particularly marked ii.
Texas and Alabama, both of which
promise to make records during
this year. In Texas, the South
ern Pacific has let several contracts,
representing more than 100 mile
age, and the International and
Great Northern Company, the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe, the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas, the
Cane Belt and the Texas Central
railroads have extensions and con
nections planned. In Alabama,
the Louisville and Nashville, the
Southern, the Central of Geoigia,
the Alabama and Tombigbee, the
Chattahoochee Valley, the Tennes
see and Alabama Mineral and the
Carrollton Short Line roads are
making extensive improvements.
The feature of the southern iron
market at present is the export de
mand. With reasonable rates and
available ocean room the Birming
ham district would be for the pres
ent independent of the domestic
trade.
SENATOR MORGAN
Says That the Republicans Under
estimate Bryan's Strength.
Washington, Oct i. —Senator
Morgan came to the capital today
from his summer home at Warm
Springs, Va. He is not taking an
active part in the democratic cam
paign for Bryan.
‘‘Alabama has made up her mind
how she is going to vote in No
vember,” said Senator Morgan to a
Sun reporter. “I believe every
thing is pretty well settled with
the exception of one or two dis
tricts where the democrats and
populists are having a little trou
ble with each other. As to the
probable outcome of the presiden
tial election I think no one can pre
dict with any certainty. Bryan’s
strength is underestimated by the
republican committee. They are
trying to combat it in the west in
the wrong way.
‘T have thought from the time
that a western trip was planned for
Governor Roosevelt that the re
publicans had made a mistake.
There are more men in the west
who have made up there minds
how to vote in propotion to the
population than in the east. West
ern men are still of the character
of the pioneers and are men of
strong convictions and they decide
firmly how they stand upon public
questions. I mean a greater ma
j >rity of them do than in the east.
T lere is more wobbling of the
great majority in the east than in
the west.
“That riot in Victor, Col., will
not meet with the approval of the
western people, such things don’t
enlist approval in any community.
Alabama is just as firmly settled
for Bryan as any state could be,
but if Col. Roosevelt will go there
I venture to say he will receive the
best of treatment.”

Negro Meets Death by Jumping
From Freight Train.
The dead body of a negro was
found early Sunday morning lay
ing beside the railroad track near
Rogers Station. It proved to be
that of Will Wofford, who had
been in the employ of the Iron
Belt Mining Cos., and who made
his home at Rogers.
He was in town Saturday night
and was seen to swing a ladder on
a freight box as the train passed at
nine o’clock, and was in an intoxi
cated condition. It is supposed he
jumped from the car when nearing
Rogers, as the train does not stop
there, while it was moving at its
usual speed, and the injuries re
ceived in the fall caused his death,
The flesh on one foot was ground
from the bone by a car wheel run
ning over it. His head bore a gap
ing wound supposed to have been
received by hitting the end of a
cross tie.
Acting Coroner Justice Cobb
held an inquest over the remains.
The verdict was that the negro
came to his death by his own care
lessness.

HANNA WILL NOW
CLAIM EVERYTHING
Monster Campaign Fund to Be
Poured Into Doubtful States-
NO LONGER TALK OF APATHY-
Leaders Plan to Spend Money Ob
tained From Trusts and New
York Syndicates.
Washington, Sept. 30. —Demo-
cratic leaders, it was stated at the
headquarters of the democratic
congressional committee today,
have received authentic informa
tion legarding the plans the re
publican managers have decided
upon for the disposition of their
monster corruption fund.
It has been learned that the mil
lions which Mark Hanna has rais
ed from the trusts are to be dump
ed into the states of Maryland,
West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, with the intention of de
bauching enongh voters therein to
make certain the selection of Mc-
Kinley and Roosevelt electors.
The original republican plan
was to concentrate the work with
the corruption fund in a single
state, believing that New York
was safely republican, and by mak
ing certain of one of the doubtful
states in the Middle West, the elec
tion of McKinley would be insured.
This plan was changed, it is stated,
because of the alarming uncer
tainty with which the New Vork
situation has come to be viewed
now.
“I have positive personal know
ledge that the republican managers
have practically -'ompleted their
plans for debauching the election
in certain states,” said Secretary
Kerr of the democratic congress
ional committee today. “In a few
days we will be in a position to ex
pose the most gigantic plot to win
an election through corruption
that has ever been exploited in the
history of American politics. The
details will be made public in due
time.”
It is learned here that not all of
Mark Hanna’s time during the last
week or two has been devoted to
the strike of the coal miners. It
is said that he has been calling
some expert manipulators of elec
tions in former notorious campaigns
to consult with him on “how to do
it” again in the states they are
best acquainted with. It is said
that one expert informed him that
the only way to do it in Indiana is
the way it was done in 1888. Re
ference was had to “blocks of five”
system.
It is understood, however, that
the general scheme finally agreed
upon contemplates keeping thou
sands of voters away from the polls
in the several states selected.
There are millions and millions of
dollars to be divided among five
states, with the possibility of work
ing the same game in some of the
rural districts of New York state.
After collecting his money Mark
Hanna is through with his wail of
apathy and overconfidence, and
from this out it is his policy to
claim everything with the utmost
extravagance. Maryland, Ken
tucky, all the Middle West, Mis
souri, Kansas, Nebraska and South
Dakota are to be claimed as sure
for McKinley. The object, it is
believed, in claiming many states
that the managers themselves se
cretly leave to rainbow chasers is
to divert attention from the states
where the dirty work is to be done.
Chairman of the
democratic congressional commit
tee paid a hurried visit to Wash
ington today, returning to New
Yord tonight. He was closeted
with Secretary Kerr and others,
and carries back with him valuable
information regarding the repub
lican plots which are outlined
above.
