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.

His eutt'ering though inten-e, was borne without a murmur His brother Emery had only been dead but a few years.

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 through the veins. A Good One on Troy Holder. One day this week Sheriff Troy Holder of Lumpkin, went over to the Chatta hoochee river to arrest a negro whom he wanted. Arriving there lie found his man, who saw the sheriff about as soon ns the sheriff saw him. lie was sitting in a tent near the river and had just re turned from a tishing trip and had a large lot of fish near where he was sit ting. When he saw „Troy he made a rush for the swamp arriving there in safety, but leaving his fish. Troy look ed at the fisu and the retreating form of his man. He at once made up his mind. Stooping down he counted out his lish, J She h; Domestic and Foreign and of General Interest. A Vienna dispatch states that the members of the Traveling Foreign com mittee of the Chicago Columbian fair commission, who are at present in this country with the object of bringing to the attention of the Austrians the ad- vantages of exhibiting at the fair, have met with flattering success in Aus tria. At Holyoke. Mass., Maurice Healey, who was shot Friday by C. H. Voight,*a German jeweler, has died. Voight was immediately arrested and will be held for manslaughter. Healey was 24 years old. and was not of the party which as saulted Voight The latter says he fired his pistol in the air simply to scare the hoodlums. An Agency, Mo., special says: A cloud burst in the vicinity of the junc tion of the One Hundred and Two and the Platte rivers caused a great loss of property. The river rose 2d feet in six hours, and twelve or fifteen farms were ruined. Houses, barns and stock were swept away and crops in the fields ru ined. Many narrow escapes are rejiort- ed, but no lives are known to be lost. The congregation of the Rev. .1. H. Hausman at Rochester, Pa., met. and by a vote of 87 to 12 refused to accept his resignation. The resignation was tendered by Mr. Bailsman who is trav eling in Europe, at the request of the board of elders who objected to declara tions of Mr. Bailsman favorable to the stand taken by Professor Briggs of New York. The congregation, in endorsing Dr. Bailsman, practically uphold Pro fessor Briggs. The two factions of the Mormon church at Independence, Mo., have at last got their troubles into court. They have been at war over the temple lot for several years, and now suit has been filed by one faction asking that the property lie taken from the faction which has it in charge ami given to the jietitiotiers. The importance of the suit arises from the fact that this is consid ered a sacred lot, aud upon it will he built "a temple to the Lord. ” At Shoals, Ind., a large crowd on Sec ond street watched an English sparrow deliberately hang herself and one of her voting to the same string. The bird had built her nest just under the eaves of a house. She first twisted one end of the string around the neck of one of her brood ami then twisted the other end about lier own neck. Fixing the slack across a projection she shoved the young bird off ami then hopped off herself. Both are still hunging there.
