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. DRB3 1.N A NEW LIGHT. MaJ.

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. in dismissing his contest, the com mittee 4s sustained by the following authorities: Code, sections 60, 1339-30; Acts of 1803, pages 134-63; Oa.. page 689. 71 a., page 206 ; 77 Oa., page 644; 83 Oa., page 180; 03 Oa., page 207-11.

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* SERIOUSLY CUT.

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.
