Hr. A. F, Ohurobwell, head of the
firm, who waa near the front of the
store, waa not so busily engaged, how
ever, as to be unable to observe what waa
going on around him.
The oondnot of a certain negro in the
store aroused Hr. OhurohweU'a suspi
cions, and subsequent events proved
that these were not unfounded. When
he thought no one waa watohlng him,
the negro picked up a couple of under
shirts and started to leave the store. Hr.
Ohurohwell promptly gave ohaae, and
waa joined by young Adams and Hr.
Edgar Tompkins, who is also employed
aaa olerk in the store.
The negro, soelng that ho bad been
detected, sprang for the middle
of the street and turned towards
the river. He ran llko a deer, closely
pursued by Hr. OhurohwelL Adams
and Tompkins kept on the south side

negro end Hr. Ohurohwell. Tompkins

Taming his head, ho called to the latter
to “get up aud come on," bntdidnot
stop himself, thinking that Adams had

obstacle.
Messrs. Ohurohwell end Tompkins
continued the abase a short distance,
but were unable to overtake the fleeing
uogro. Adams not joining them, they
xetnrned to the place where Tompkins
heard him fall. The ynnng man still
lay on the ground, and all efforts to

The newspapers of Mississippi and

about cotton seed just now, and the

“In the exeitement throughout the

so great that in places It has been forced

It necessary to form a combine or at

of money.

of ootton eeed prodaots have had asm-
erona oonferenoes lately and that they
are uniformly offering |17 a ton lias
naturally led to the oonolosion that
some agreement haa been reached, al
though tilts Is kept a seoret for fear that
the agreement may ha in violation of
the anti-trnst and anti-combine laws of
the southern states. In Mississippi,
however, the press openly deolares that
the mills lmve oomblned to regulate and
deprociate the prioe of ootton seed and
a demaud has been made npon the at
torney general to bring salt against
those who have organized thin trust to
foroe down prioea.
"At $30 a ton the farmer is getting 13
oents a pound for his ootton. The yield
of soed is half a ton to tho bale of oot
ton. The great iuorease in the valne of
the seed has lmd the additional effeot ot
demorutizieg the octton ginning busi
ness.
"Usually tho farmer has his ootton
ginned or separated from the. seed at a
pnbllo gin, the terms being that the
farmer gets the oottnu and the gin the
soed for ginning it, the latter being sold
to the cotton mills. Thin is equivalent
to pnying the gins, nt tho price tho seed
lias formorly comuiauded, three-fourths
to a cent a pound of cottou ginned. At
the present value of tile seed the funner
is paying nearly two oente a pound,
whioh is an excessive rate. Ho is de
manding a drawback.
"In order to facilitate tho movement
of tlie seed and bring ont more of it, the
Mississippi railroad commission has jnBt
made a big oat in the maximum railroad
rate for handling seed, against whioh
the railroads are protesting Ditterly and
whioh they will tight on the ground that
tt is not profitable to carry cotton seed
at the rates allowed them for its trans
portation."

skill gradually conquered this dreaded
malady other complications developed.
A month ago yesterday Mrs. Hall was
brought to Albany, where, tt was hoped,
the ohange and more oonstant attention
at the hands of physicians wonld bring
abont a great improvement tn her con
dition. For a time, she did grow bet

before she died her strength was grad
