Mitchell, for personal reasons, has de
cided tv withdraw from (he race, and
it is hoped tho executive committee
will now declare Captaia Bailey the
nominee and rescind their action call
ing another election.

129 PERSONS DROWNED
The Vessel Goes Down In Bight of
Land With Groat Loss of Life.
Falmouth, Eng., Oct. 15.—The
British steamer Mobegao, Captain
Griffiths, belonging to the Atlantic
Transport company, bas been wrecked
In the vicinity of the Lisard, between
the Manacles and the Lowlands. It is
believed that about 129 persons of her
passengers and crew were drowned.
Only 45 survivors have reached the
shore. t
The officials of the Transport com
pany believe that most of the passen
gers were Americans who were re
turning home.
The Morgan left London for New
York on Thursday, having on board,
as far as can be ascertained at present,
59 passengers and a crew of 115 offi
cers and men.
£When the steamer was seen to De in
distress, lifeboats put off from shore,
and every effort possible was made to
save the passengers. The coast at this
point is extremely dangerous, and has
been a scene of numerous wrecks.
The general opinion at present is
that the machinery of the Mohegan be
came disabled during a heavy easterly
gale which was blowing, and ran
ashore and foundered. A number of
tugs which pul out from this port to
the assistance of the Mohegan were
compelled to return without being
able to approach the vessel, owing to
severity of the weather prevailing.
The South Is Prosperous.
To inquiries sent by the New York
Journal of Commerce to leading bank
ers throughout “tho cotton belt” of
the United States that paper prints a
□ umber of replies:
”1. Does the present low price of
cotton seriously threaten the prosperi*
ty of the South?
“2. Has there been generally, or in
special sections, any reduction in the
coat of raising cotton? If so, to what
extent?
”3. Are there any other offselts to
low prices for cotton?
“4. Can any profit be made by the
planter on 5 cent cotton?
“5. Are general business conditions
in the South sound and promising?”
The concurrent testimony is (l)tbat
the South is prosperous notwithstand
ing 5 cent cotton ; (2) that the cost of
raising cotton has been reduced great
ly in the last two decades; (3) that
farming bas been diversified so that
cotton largely is becoming a “surplus
crop”; (4) that there is still some
slight profit to the farmer even on 5
cent cotton, and (5) that general busi
ness conditions in the South are en
couraging.
The invariable report is that the
South never was in better condition,
with debts smaller and fewer, and
money less scarce. Frank Hawkins,
president of the Atlanta Clearing
House Association, makes.the follow
ing striking statement:
“If the South could have got 7 cents
for this crop, it would have been like
the West getting a dollar a bushel for
wheat. Had this crop brought 7 cents
New York could not have loaned the
South a dollar next year.”
This is good news from the South
and shows that that section of the
United Blates, like all the others, is
succeeding in its training for the great
struggle for possession of the world’s
markets, which struggle the new
century must be expected Jo usher in.
That Joyful Feeling
With the exilarating sense of renewed
health and strength and internal cleanli
ness, which follows the use of Syrup of
Figs is unknown to the few who have not
progressed beyond the old time medicines
and the cheap substitutes offer
ed but never accepted by the well-inform
ed.

FOR STEALING A HORSE.
Two Negroes Now Occupy Cells In
Spalding County Jail-
Rev. J. E. Russell, of Orchard Hill,
drove to this city yesterday afternoon
and bitched bis horse in the wagon
yard at Bass Bros. After attending to
some business, Mr. Russell went after
his horse and buggy, and they were
not to be found.
He reported the affair to Chief Ison
who gave the case to Officers Gordon
and R. S. Ison to work up,
The officers soon learned that a ne
gro man and woman were seen to drive
out of the lot in the buggy, but the
only description furnished was that
they were mulattoee.
All coons may look alike to some
people, but they didn’t to these two
officers,-and with the meagre descrips
tion furnished they went to work, and
by 8 o'clock last night Oliver King
and Lollie Benson were in jail.
When first arrested Benson declared
he had nothing to do with the disap
pearance of the horse and buggy, but
after being closely questioned by the
officers he finally admitted to stealing
them and told the officers where they
could be found.
It was a good piece of detective
woik on the part of Officers Gordon
and Ison.
Langford Not Guilty.
The jury in the ease of the state
against Tom Langford, charged with
the murder of Sheriff Gwynn, of Pike
county, returned a verdict of not guil
ty yesterday.
The case bas been occupying the
court al Zebulon for several days.
Langford was defended by Tbos. E.
Watson, and the evidence was entire
ly circumstantial and not strong
enough to convict
