WHITE. 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.

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.
