Mr. B. F. Cooper who killed
Will liarifctt a'negro a few miles
West of Meigs about a month ago
was nolprossed in the Superior
Court of Thomas County. Monday
morning.
It will be remembered that Mr.
Cooper confessed that he killed
the negro, but that lie killed him
t > protect himself, • that at the
time the negro was adyancing on
him with a knifie.
The corners jury that investi
gated the killing at the time
failed to agree up n a verdict,
and a majority verdict was
found.
The Grand Jury, last week in
dicted Cooper for murder, but
when the case was sounded, and
the attorneys had looked into the
evidence, it was decided that .t

present season. Weather condi
tions'over the belt will more or
less be ignored and the trade will
turn its almost undivided atten
tion to the'question of the size of
the yield. Crop estimates from
various - expert;,and private- bu
reaus will do more than any
thing else to control thp course
of prices day by day. •
The trade Is,,as usual, having
a hard time iu forming .decided
opinions regarding this.season's
crop. In.abdpt a mohtlj the De

growth this year,' and between
now end that time hundreds of
private guesses -will be’ made.
Thus far the experts have failed
most dismally to get together in
their crop opinions. The highest
serious estimate o.n record is 15,-
750,000 bales w hile, the lowest.is
13,500,000. Of late the istyle is
beginning to accept 14,000,000
bales as the dividing line of opin
ion.
Another report on ginning by
the census bureau will be issued
Saturday, This report will carry
the crop down to Nov. 1, and
may have statistics 'in it which
materially will x alter. some crop
views. By probably the majori
ty of cotton men it is considered
that ginning has made good head
way in this last period, but there
are many bulls, who thank un
favorable weather has hindered
it because of its effect on pick
ing.
