THE NEW CROP MOVING
THE RECEIPTS CONSIDERABLY LESS
THAN LAST YEAR.
Lateness of the Crop—Itec Ipts at Suvan
nah—The bauiage by Huit and Worm*
and the Danger From an Early Frost—
Estimates of the Shortage.
The reports from the cotton fields of
the state are beginning to come in, and
indications point to a short'crop all along
the line. The Savannah News gives quite
aD interesting review of the prospect
So far between 400 and 500 bales have
been received in Savannah this season.
The receipts, however, are not as heavy
as they were last year, but the quality of
the cotton is line. From the appearance
of that coming into market there will be
little poor cotton unless a rainy season
sets in and the grades run together. It
is predicted that an early frost will
shorten the crop 1,000,000 to 1,500,000
bales. At preseut the plant is suffering
from rust considerably in this section.
The receipts yesterday were 250 bales,
of which 2:15 were new cotton. The re-
ceipt^ of new cotton Monday were 05
bales.
Cotton factors who have recently re
turned from the cotton fields report that
the condition of the cotton is the same
as several weeks earlier in the season,
that is, badly spotted. Some of it is
early and some late, some good and
some poor, some with rust and some
witli worms, and some without either.
These conditions exist together through
out the whole cotton region, and not
simply varying conditions in different
sections. Consequently the deduction
is that no matter what the season is
some of the cotton will be advanced by
it and sjrae will be retarded. It Is im
possible that the same condition of the
weather should benefit the entiro crop in
its various stages of growth.
The result is that the crop will not
be as large as it might otherwise have
been. Estimates of reliable cotton men
who have made a study of the business
for years are that the present crop will
be 15 to 20 per cent, less than last year's
crop, and that the yield will not be
greater than that of 1889, which was the
largest crop until that of 1800.
Frequent reports are being received of
the appearance of worms ami caterpil
lars in different sections, but the dam
age so far is slight, and it is said that
unless there is a wet season the farmers
will have nothing to fear from these
pests-
Bust in a light degree is generally re
porter A gentleman who has just re
turned from a' trip through southern
Georgia and Alabama, reports that every
field of cotton between liainbridge, Ga.,
and Dothan, Ala., was affected by rust.
This might cause considerable damage,
and might not. With a wet season the
rust would increase rapidly, and would
considerably shorten the crop. The ef
fect of the rust is to destroy the growth
of the plant, but docs not injure that
already matured. It causes the matured
crop to open rapidly.
Estimates as to tho coming crop are
so widely varied as not to bo worth cal
culating upon. It is believed by many
that the crop will be a large one, but
not so large as last year’s.
The receipts for the last few days are
falling behind last year's. This is ac
counted for in two ways. The crop is
two weeks late this season, and on ac
count of the low price it will be mar
keted very slowly. The opinion Is ex
pressed by several factors that there
will be a gradual increase in the price of
cotton within the next few weeks, the
chief reason being that the farmers will
not market their cotton at the present
prices. Only those will sell who are
forced to do so by their obligations, and
the large majority will hold to their cot
ton until the price goes above 8 cents.
It haa been noticed that the banka of
the smaller towna, notwithstanding the
tightness of the money market, have a
large reserve, expecting to advance upon
the cotton crop, so that merchants and
planters will be able to hold their cotton
until the price increaeei. On this ac
count it is thought the present crop will
- be marketed much more (lowly than
OBITCAltY.
Our whole community is lu sorrow, and
mourns the death of one of our nob'est and
brightest young n en. On lust .Sabbith
evening between 2 aud 1 o'clock the spirit
of our young friend, Wallace Ca- non, took
i*s flight to spend an eternal .Sabbath with
Him who redeemed It with his own precious
blood. He had but a few mouths ago reached
the age of twenty-one <21/. Although so
young, yet he had the business qualifications
and experience of a man of more mature
years. He was very ambitious of success lu
business, and yekof such »tri< t integrity and
so honorable in his dealings that be prefered
to sutler financially thun misrepresent or in
any way deceive.
Morally speaking he was classed among
the b*M, and though he never united him
self with any branch of the Chrl-tlan church
yet he beloved and reverenced the people of
God and doubtless intended to be numbered
among them.
My knowledge of him leuds me to cher
ish the fund hope that. Le is in the Better
Laud, wh*re no trials, sorrow's, grief or death
enter.
His eutt'ering though inten-e, was borne
without a murmur
His brother Emery had only been dead
but a few years. Wallace spoke of his
brother several times during his illnes-, aud
told him to reach out fa'her and ue would
go with him. What a pity to lose one so
young, so bright, so coucecraied.
I.ea^ have iheir time to fall,
And flowers to wither at thenorth wind's
breath,
And stars to set, but all—
Thou hast aU seasons for thine own. O
denth.
A large concourse of friends laid his re
mains to rest at Salem Cemetery, b» the side
of his brother, about 2 o’clock Monday af er-
noon. I.-t us arise, chastened and purlfled
by this sad bereavement and adjr*ssour-
selves am w to the woik of Him who doeth

The poet who wrote the above must
have been in the last stages of consump
tion. Perhaps he had only learned, for
the first time, that If he had taken D
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery In his
earlier illness, he would never have
reached his present hopeless condition!
What can be more sad than a keen reali
zation of what “might have been?”
Physicians now admit that consump
tion is simply scrofula in the blood at
tacking the lung-tissues. It is never
safe to allow the blood to remain impure
and it is especially reckless when such a
pleasant, 'harmless remedy as Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will
drive every taint of scrofula or impurity
from the system, causiug a current of
healthy, rejuvenating blood to leap
