Mr. Marlon Erwtn was the attorney In action brought In the United States court yesterday. Mr, Walter P. Coitbett, the well known cx-Unttod States marshal of the south ern iltstrlct of Oeoiula, has brought suit against Uncle Sam for the sum of $1".C0 f-ir back fees that ho claims nre due him fur services rendered while serving out tho term of his onto©. ' (The case ts tn ©very sense an unusual one. Mr. Codbett’s claim Is that he served a tnmiber of writs during hta term of oltlce for which the government has never paid him the fees due. He nlleitcn that the law allowed him lb collect mileage at the rate of 6 cents tier mile on both writs when serving Uvo on the same trip, and that now tho government has only allowed mileage on one writ, on the ground that where two writs were served lot the Ham© trip onty single mileage could bo allowed. Mr. Cottbett believes, however, that he can get the double mileage anil ■ hoisted Ms Hag for the fray. The main ground upon which the ©tilt will be sustained La that under a recent decision of the supreme court In Maine double mileage was allowed when simitar easo to that of the ex-inamhaf was put to teat. In this Instance court sustained the plea that the marshal bud n right to ehaive fees on every writ served, without regard to whether two trip! br more were made. SOME HKEDAM SNAPS.

Go, The cotton crop of Georgia Is safe, so far as itfie boll worm and rust ure con- corned. Is the opinion of Mac-an cotton men after they nravw made toe mo3t diligent Inquiry throughout the state. In a few Interior counties, said one wareflouaemeo, there has been some slight damage by boll worms, 1m t it ts nothing serious and will have no ef fect on the crop or tile price. This sec tion of the cotton growing suites will come out alt right on 'the co'JOcm crop, and there are many who say the grow ers of Georgia will clear money on the crop matwl'ihetuntUnig tihe low price. Others, however, are equally'as positive that tde planters will tlo well to .pull out even, but all ore agreed that the cotton planter can better afford to hold crop and sell -When he wuntB to, as the majority of them have ’abundance of corn land meat and wEI not be com- pt-Med to rush their cotton into market to raise ready money with which to buy supplies. There have .been some reports from Florida to the effoot that 'tihe boll worm was tdanraglng the cotton In certain localities, but the extent Ot the rarage3 there has been so small that little no tice Unas been taken of tit, Very little attention hits been given to such re ports os have been received from Texas on this line; ua far ns can be •learned the damage Is small. The cotton men ihere have heat'd nothing from their correspondents wl'h regard to the existence of 'the boll worm 1n Georgia, and It Is earnestly hoped that t he cotton 1ms wot been a t tacked by this destructive anC'Diul. If there were any devastation of the crop in Macon territory by the bull worm tt la reasonable to believe, and it la very .probable, tih'at tho tMaoon cotton mew would 'have onve infortturtlon about the matter from their corre spondents. The cotton men «iy the Necv York people are tihe 'best -posted in tho coun try -when it cameo to the condition of the cotton crap, arid If there ts any sertou3 doenage .to any ponton of tt It is -Indicated' alt once by tho effect on the market. If t-here had been any ez- -terretve destruction at the crop by 'the boll worm, or from any other source, It would have -been natural for cot-ton futures -to have -advanced, but. Instead of that, wl'tihln the tot two or three days, they Wore docffhied from live -to six points. The fuimre -market Is one ot -tihe host known- barometers, when it comes vo indications of the conditions of the crop, arid If asiyChing ser.ous happens 'there -i3 tKilble to be u sudden tluotu-atlo-n aa soon os ft become known. THE COTTON CROP. The Railroads Will Apportion tt at Junc tion Points. There will be a meeting tomorrow In Atlanta of the traffic men of the South ern railroads, with a view to taking some action with regard to the appor tionment of the chiton received at the Junction points behxeen the different lines which convoste for It. It tt exoerietl that till tho lines south of the Ohio river and cast of the -Mis sissippi wltl he represented and that there avlll -bo conslderalble discussion with regard to the business which each line is to handle. The .prevailing belief am'ong railroad men Is that a h.tnno- nitous agreement with regard to the ap portionment avlll Ibe reached. The Idea Is not.-os some have stated tt, to nporiUon the cotton crop among tho railroad*. This has been done from year to year itml the cotton received r-t junctions has ibeen apportioned nmons the different lines competing for It on a percentage Ibasl*. If no harmonious ar rangement can he made the hoard of arbitration of the Southern Railway and Steamship lAsspokirlon "Will be call ed kn to settle 'the dlfferenoc and estab lish tho proportions. The cron this-year Is likely to be much larger than it was last, and the rail road companies are already doing a wood transportation Ibuslnees. This fact may brink; about acme difference be tween the traffic men. as they are nil now getting s good share of business and none of them mill -want to see any of It withdrawn from their lines. This is a matter which haa always deeply In terested the porta tf the South Atlantic coast nnd which haa seemed to them to procure certain dlscrtminuttona In fa vor ot other ports. These port* will, therefore, watch with Interest the prog ress of this meeting. The railroads hold that It U not the differential rate be tween any two ports which creates a discrimination Jn favor of one over the other. Ibut that it ts a question of the total rate bv water and land from the starting point or the cotton to Its desti nation across the water. It Is the sea rate they say which need* reducing in onler to allow Sa vannah and other porto In a simitar condition to compete with other ports in the shipment of cotton. Savannah haa taken steps looking to the reduction of that rate amt there la some pntiablllty of the shipment of cot ton through this port being larger than It was last year, -reaardlcra of the In crease tn the amount of the crop.
