TMeIjOMINO COTTON CHOP.
Ncalla estimate of the cotton crop
for 1SU1, as reported lu the Telegraph
a few dny* ago. Indicates that there
will bo put on the market 8,900,000
bale* u» a result of the season’* effort
on the part of the cotton farmers. If
till* estimate Is correct, and from other
report* there M reason to believe that
it 1. approximately so. It means that
there will bo no material advance In
the price of cotton this year, ami It Is
altogether probable that Hie price may
go lower.
Thefc are, it is true, many causes
whirl! may result tn a very serious cur
tailment of the yield. It Is a danger-
ous thing to risk a prophecy on the
probable outcome of the cotton crop,
when la many section, of the cotton
belt the crop Is hardly lald'.by,.' In
ticrgln, for Instance, tlic heavy mins
which have prevailed for some days
In various sections of tho state may
causa shedding and rust, while the
backward condition of the plant on uc-
oount of tho severe frosts of the late
spring makes tho danger from the lwll
worm a serious thing. In the extreme
southern portion of tho cotton twit,
from tho Atlantic to Texns, however,
Hie crop Is practically assured, and. it
will be a big one.
The Telegraph Is of tho opinion thnt
the principle laid down In these columns
several mouths ago, that tho problem
whit* oonfroots our middle Georgia
farmers is not how to get a high price
fur their cottuu so much ns It is hew
oottan can he raised at a protit when
Hie price is so low. Tho Telegraph re
iterates what It said then: tlmt the only
possible solution of this ipiction is that
our farmers must live at homo. They
must raise their own Huppliex. Cotton
must lu Central Ucorgla, in fact In all
except certain scctlou. of the cotton
country pocullorly favored liy nature,
become a surplus crop, llie ready
money crop, so to speak, while all
those farm Ruppllc* which can I.)
mlsAl nt home must Ire. If this Is not
done, cotton culture ill Georgia must
Ire carried on at a loss or not at all.

jA REPLY TO CHESTER PEARCE
By tho Chairman of tho Democratic Ex-
ocuttvo Committee of Houston.
TO tho Editor of the Telegraph; In
your issue of July 38 appear* “A Card
From Chester 1’caroe," which, under The
pretense of a reply to your Fort Valley
■poctal of July 17, lo an attack upon
tho organised Democracy of Houston
county.
Ao the udlclal head ot that organist
tlon I down it my duty to notice dir.
Ptarae'a caqd for the purpoae of remov
ing fatso lmprerslon* created tool.-by
upon tho minds of your reader, outside
ot our county. Our own people need no
Information, pay no attention to Mr.
Pearce’s dying kicks and are perfectly
sstlaflcd with the artlon of tho Demo
cratic executive committee In relallo
lo Mr. Peorce'x so-called copical.
The Hateman-Fagnn contest -was
contest before the legislature aver the
election' bf a representative mid was
settled In favor of the contested by the
Domocrttjo house of representatives
Georgia tn ISM.
The Dunoin-Colyer case Is the only
contest bvor. nomination In the hletory
of the Democratic party ■ f .lotwton
county. The Democratic party ordered
a primary to uomlnate candidate, for
county officers on n certain day In the
fall of ISSt. The managers at the pre
cincts were ordered tojm-et at the court
hous. to consolidate the vote and de
clare tho result. This they did. after
correcting certalnn alterations of the re
turn. from one of the .precincts which
was apparent on their face and not dis
puted by anyone. This gave the nomi
nation to Mr. Colyer over Mr. Duncan
hy • majority of 7 vote* From this re
sult Mr. Duncan appealed to the execu
tive committee. The committee met and
after -wrangling over the apped all day
they derided that tt was too big a job
to overhaul the entire primary election,
a. Mr. Duncan r-eonested them to do.
and Instead of dismissing the contest, as
they should have done, they decided to
recommend both Colyer snd Duncan to
the Democratic voters of Houston coun
ty. This violation of taw ami Injustice
to Mr. Colyer was signally rebuked by
the people tn the overwhelming major
ity given to Mr. Colyer In the election
following.
I fall to see In the Duncan-Colyer con
test any comfort or precedent for Mr.
Pearce. In the light it that contest the
present executive committee acted wise
ly In conforming strictly to the rules
snd laws adopted hy the Democratic
mass meeting held the flrat McmUy in
April, ISM. for the government of the
primary election for this campaign.
That meeting adopted the laws gov
cmlng the election of members of the
legislature with the following exception
pertinent to this discussion:
"The managers'of *,ld primary shall
consolidate ttie vote ns provided by the
elate law and shall turn over their con
solidation to the chairman of the ex
ecutive committee, who*shall declare
tho result by publication.’’
. The primary was held June 29 and on
the 30th the managers consolidated the
vote nnd turned over their consolida
tion to me and I declared the result by
publication In the two county -papers
of July fc and C.
This declaration made Judge Giles, ns
Well as Mr. C. O. Gray, tho Democratic
nominees for representative*.
I had received In the meantime no
notice of Mr. Pearce's Intentions to con
test. On July 13 Mr, fan* requested
me in writing to convene the executive
committee on July 20 to hear his con
test. tn which he stated that he would
then and there submit testimony before
the committee.
I therefore mailed a notice to each one
ot the forty-two members of the com
mittee, urging them to assemble at the
court house on the day and hour re
quested by Mr. Pearce.
Tlilrly-on* of them did assemble, two
of them being dlsqusltHed and fifteen
being a quorum. When the committee
entered upon the consideration of Mr.
Pearce-s contest ’ they, found that in
brining It he had Ignored nnd disregard
ed the plain rule* and laws adopted by
the party for the regulation of the pri
mary election and contests arising there
undpr. ft.) The chairman had declared
Judge Giles the nominee by pufBlralton
more than five day* nfter the election
nnd without any notice from Mr. Pearce
of his Intention to oonte«t‘, and his con
test was therefore barred.
(2.) Mr. Pearce hnd not served Judge
Giles in person with a notice of hla In
tention to contest and the grounils
thereof, and the time and place where
to take testimony and the names of his
witnesses. A paper which purported to
be n notice set out that Judge Giles had
received Illegal votes at certain pre
cincts without ststlng that they
had not niso voted for Pearce nnd with
out staling the name of n single Illegal
voter nr why the vote was illegal, nor
the -.lumber of his Illegal votes at any
one precinct nor nt nil ot them together
nnd without stating thnt the result wss
thereby changed. It also stated that
at one of these precincts the managers
.I*/* • wo ™J further stating that
wa* thereby changed.
This paper had been served by the
deputy sheriff by leaving a copy ait
Judge one*’ residence July 14, and
stated that Pierce would submit tesH-
K ony before the committee on July
. Upon all these charges of Illegal
voting and management Mr. Pearce
hud taken no tsstimony whatever, nor
did ihe offer to submit any testimony to
-the committee, on he 'Md notified the
ohn'lnrran he would do Ih requesting
him to call the committee togetner. On
the contrary, he gravely requested the
committee no appoint a sub-committee
to take testimony in hi* case and So
report the same to a subsequent meet
ing.

•Mr. Pearce endeavored to partially
cure the fatal defets of his proceeding
by offering an amendment In which ho
set out the names of certain lllgeal
voters, Who, he alleged, voted for Giles
and nett for Mm, and -whtoh, he ’said,
changed the Yesulr. If the- voters
charged In hta amendment with voting
illegally at Fort Volley are specimens,
then Mr. Pearce had no case on the
facts. ...
1 know these men, and I Say unhesi
tatingly that they were qualified to
viite at the Democratic primary. The
above 4a a statement of the action of
the committee and show* how untrue
Is 'Mr. Pearce's bold assertion thnt be
"came after careful investigation be-
lore the commlOtce with oompetent and
most highly respectable evidence to
show that several times a sufficient
number of Illegal votes were polled for
his opponent to change the result.”
No one acquainted with the Inte pri
mary 1n cur county ibelloves Chat the
result would have been changed had
the committee gone Unto a. close and
honest Investigation of every suspected
vote and preclnot. 'Many weeks of time
of tin- committee, parties nnd witnesses
would have been wasted, Ithe -1 voters
Vexed Willi ohcirgss and countar-
chargcs of illegal voting, which is -a
crime; the party unity and success en
dangered, and all this to aid Mr.
tv r.-g-ndl.-sK of rule. In his search
after a spffiolSRt number of. illegal
votes to overcome Judge Glleo’ nomi
nation.
If the contest had arisen out of n
regular .election and ithe facts and
pleadings were the same an those
passed upon 'by the committee, then the
house of MtnHWtV would have
settled Judge Giles’ title to his sent In
his favor under t'he clear principles of
law cited above. Is his title to the nomi
nation to be held less sacred by the
Democratic party of Houston?
Tt Is well known in the county that
air. Pro roe, in searching for Illegal
voters for Ids so-called contest, disre
garded and Ignored Illegal votes cast
for Mm. nnd hence ids motives were
ndt to purify party nomnfttkma and
dbfaln honest results, but to Secure
his own nomination. Mr. Pearce ought
to know (for he has been o Justice of
the peace for several years) that crimes
ns well <i» private rights are barred
by Statutes of limitation and 'their re
dress frequently rendered Impractica
ble by negligence In pursuing the reme
dies laid down 'by law.
I do not believe that a single disin
terested, unprejudiced and skilled law
yer. nor a single 'disinterested, unprej
udiced and sound Democrat gave Mr.
Pearce advice and sympathy tn favor

WEATHER INDICATIONS.
Washington, Ao*. I.—For Georgia:
Shower* Thursday afternoon; north
west winds.
Receiver H. M. Comer of the Central
rid road returned Tuesday on toe City of
Birmingham from New York, where he
ha* bam in attendance on the recent
meeting of the Southern Railway and
StekmHiip Association and incidentally In
conference with thoee In charge of ihe
Central's new plan Of reorganisation.
With regard to *he plan' Mr. Comer
said no matorial progress had been made
since hla last visit to New York. It is
practically a .holiday .n New York -low,
he Mid. &hd many of the director* at
torneys and others connected with those
companies srtilch are Interested In the
plan axe away from the city. They have
left the torpid heat of tha methopolls and
have gone to the mountains or seashore
where they can enjoy the warm nwnths
In a cooler atmosphere.
Some slight progress has been mode
within the laat month, he said, in the ax.
rangement of the details, but nothing of
Importance is being done, or can be done,
at tho present time. It may be a month
or two yet. Mr. Corner said, before <ne
plan is announced to the public, but he
did not think that would materially
change the time at which It will be put
Into effect. If it cannot be done In Opto-
ber, he said, it will be done some time be
fore January, which will answer all pur
poses.
Mr. Comer's principal business In Now
York was to attend the meeting of the
Southern Railway and Steamship -ssocl-
atton, which waa held at Man? at tan
Bruch. At that meeting he laid an agree
ment was prepared which -was satisfacto
ry to moot of the lines In the nssoceatlon.
It waa practically the same thing, he said,
as -the old agreement. The association
will hold another meeting In New Vork
August 27. for the purpoee of fully perfect-
log the agreement, at which tone It is
probable that a few minor ohangea will
be mad?.
Mr. Comer said he supposed the freight
differentials would be put back to 11 cent)
per too, as they were reduced to 6 cents
only to allow the lines to the Northern
ports to get their share of the business.
This would be no guarantee, bemever,
that they will bn retained at that figure,
as they may fluctuate from time to time.
With regard to the reports that are con
stantly being published to the effect that
the Central railroad- system Is to be con.
trolled by and operated as a part of Ihe
Southern railway, Mr. Comer said: "Tlio
Central railroad eswtem. will be preserved
and operated on a separate line. As a
matter of course, tbe Southern railway,
controlling the majority stock, can elect
the road's officer* but tt will be operated
aa a separate and Independent' line, and
the harmony will exist tn the mainte
nance of rates. The business that Ilgttl-
mately belongs to each of tho lines will
he permitted to go to those lines without
the Illegitimate competition, cutting of
rates and giving of rebates that has here
tofore existed. This has been well under
stood, and it will be carried out."
Mr. Comer sold all parties seemed to
be well satisfied with the showing made
by the rood during the ,ast year, ending
June 99. Consld.-ring the conditions tnd
circumstances which nave surrounded tbe
business Interest* in ever section, 'he gen
eral opinion, he said, v.-ps that the road
hns done exceptionally well. Mr. Comer
will go to New York again about August
22.
The reduction In nates made by the
Southern Railway and Steamship Associ
ation about June L dup to the action of
certain Eastern lines, will be dec!ared»t>fr
today, and rates will go back to the nor
mal basis. A good many of tho lines have
lost money through the reduction, but
many of them have likewise been .aught
a lessen that they will not aoon forget,
and that is. 4t will not pay In tho kxig
run to use Illegitimate methods of s«ur-
Ing business that properly belongs to
other line*

RACES YESTERDAY.
How the Horses Ran at Brighton Esaeh
and Saratoga.
Brighton Beach. Aug. L—T'he regular
crowd was on hand today and the talent
felt sure they would have no trouble
In picking Hie -winners, ns the blue pen
cil had done some effective work, but
to their sorrow favorite after favorite
finished second or third and even In
toe ruck. The faithful plunged heavily
bn Klldetr In the first race, as though R
were all over but the shouting. Jordan
had a few friends, too. and the race re
sulted In one of the pretUest finishes of
the meeting. The talent fared no better
In toe second race. Their selection was
Blackhawk. He made a bid for victory,
but the moment he found himself
pinched by Golden Valley, a 10 to 1 shot;
he gave up lgnomlnlously.
What promised to be a grand feature
of the day was the liandlqap race. On
account of scratching the race was prac
tically a foregone conclusion. Slroco led
from the flagfall to finish and won driv
ing by a length. Hugh Penny ran sec
ond all the way and Panway finished In
the ruck without having been In the
hunt. The other horeeo that carried oil
honors today were King Gold, a 6 to 1
shot, in the«third event; George Dixon
in the Fifth and SL Anthony In toe

today. That was in toe fifth race, when

The cither races were dhlefly remarka
ble for upsets. The attendance today
was good, although there seems to be
considerable grumbling at the hour ;u
which the races begin. The track was
dry and fast. The talent were In hard
luck at the outset fiodsy. Banquet, who
had been looked upon a* the surest
kind ol a thing In the first race, was
badly pocketed in the stretch, and fall
ing to get out was beaten by both
Merry 'Monarch and Rey (El Santa
Anfa. Gen. Hurllnghnm, Who had
been made second choice, toll'd to be
placed. Gallllee was lnsta led favorite
in toe Bccond largely ow-lng to a Up
given out early In toe day by Doe
Street. Galhlee, however, came In
next to ktat, Kentlgeraa getting toe
larger portion of the money, with Du
cat In the second place. ,
In the third Tom -Skidmore, whose
running 1 at Brighton Beach wa® of *
high calibre, was made second choice
In Hie ring to Clementine, but he won
handily by % length and a half from
toe latter, who beat Llaela three and
