Statesboro, Ga., Aug. 24 , 1899.
Latest reports from the cotton
markets of the world indicate an
upward tendency.
Count the dead presidential
booms that have been started in
the pas sixt months: Wheeler,
Dewey, Van Wyck, Schley lour,
to say nothing of those that were
Btill-born.
Some enterprising newspaper
correspondent reports Admiral
Dewey as saying that the Filippi-
110 s ought to, and soon will be >
ireed. Don’t you know he
said it, even though he may have
thought it.
The government entomologist,
after careful examination an
liounces authoritatively that the
new “kissing bug” is a reality.
Now let hitn tell whether or not it
is not related to the well-known
smelling bug familiarly called a
“chinch.”
The Herald last week men¬
tioned a list of once prominent
men who had been lost sight of in
the hurly-burly of the past few
years. By an oversight Jacob S.
Coxey’s name was omitted from
the list. He is the fellow who
wouldn’t “keep off the grass” in
Washington.
It is estimated that the Dreyfus
trial now going on in Faris, in
which the offense charged is that
Dreyfus sold information regard¬
ing French fortifications to a rival
government, has taken up more
space in the newspapers than the
accounts of the French revolution
or the American war of secession.
The young white woman from
Rhode Island who has started on
a lecturing tour with the “cullud
ladies” of the Baker family, is not
striking it as rich as she hoped to.
So the “race problem” does not
promise immediate settlement, and
it is doubtful if the young woman
will be able to settle even her ex¬
pense bill much longer.
GoV. Roosevelt has been pre¬
sented by his New York admirers
with a handsome watch charm in
the shape of a baggage check en¬
graved “New York Central and
Pennsylvania to Washington,
1904.” It is not meant to inti¬
mate that these railroad systems
propose to secure his election in
that year, though there is no ques¬
tion that some of the opposing
politicians will construe it that
way.
A couple of newspaper fellows
down in Waycross had a “hot little
time” one afternoon last week.
Brother Perharn, ci the Herald,
became offended at the conduct or
language of Brother Blanchard, of
the Journal, and took him to task
in rather rough style, seizing
Blanchard’s crutch and lambasting
him over the head with it. Blanch¬
ard is a cripple, going about his
work in a rolling chair, but he
stood his ground like a man, and
was about to get the best of the
fracas when friends interfered,
Very naughty! If editors must
fight, they should move to the
Philippines, where it is said to be
badly needed.
Confederate Veterans* Organize
-
Our veteran friends throughout
the -county will remember the call
for a meeting in the Ordinary’s
office on the first Monday in Sep
tember. The object is to organize
a camp for Bulloch county and be
in shape to attend the reunion in
Savannah the latter part of No
vsmber. Camps have already
been organized in nearly every
county in the state, and the re
maining few will probably organ -
lze m time to attend the conveu
tiou which will lie in session dur
ing the reunion.
J 11 Bulloch county there area
large number of the veterans—
enough that a camp may be organ
j Z ed and maintained which will be
a cr ^dit to the county as well as a
source of great pleasure to the old
soldiers. In his address to his
comrades, Gen. Evans says: “We
have reached a-period when our
comradeship has become dearer to
as than ever before, and our mem
ries sacred. W T have made
0 more e
a history for honorable and valiant
warfare which the world acknowl
edges, and our cause demands that
we cherish and perpetuate the
truth.”
Reverting to the reunion in
Savannah, the invitation is ex
tended to all Confederate veterans
of Georgia, their families and
friends to be present on the occa
sion. A low scale of rates for the
occasion will be put in effect by
the railroads of the state, which
will be given general publicity
later. Ample arrangements will
be made for the accommodation
of all visitors on the occasion and
especial provision for comrades of
limited means.
It Happened, After All.
In manufacturing copy Tuesday
morning, The Herald editorial
mill ground out:
Nothing exciting in Atlanta this
w’eek. Mayor Woodward has staul
reformed.
But the remark was premature;
the excitement did happen and it
was the biggest sort of a thing.
In fact, it was a long way ahead of
anything that has occurred at any
of the mayor's festivities. It fur¬
nishes rare and racy reading, tnd
the beauty of it is that the excite¬
ment promises to grow from day
to day until something serious
happens.
In the council chamber of that
city, the question of street railway
franchises was under discussion,
and a good deal of feeling had been
engendered. H. M. Atkinson, a
young capitalist from Boston, rep¬
resented one of the street car lines,
and asked some favor at the hands
of council, which brought on the
fight, Councilman Thompson
was in the minority against At¬
kinson, and was particularly
severe in his remarks before coun¬
cil about the gentleman and the
company he represents. In the
heat of his speech he referred to
Mr. Atkinson as a “blue-bellied
yankee from Boston”—“a cur
wearing the collar of northern
financiers.”
At the time this very indecent
language was flowing, Mr: Atkin¬
son was sitting a few feet away
wincing under the the scathing
tongue-lashing, and resolved to
avengo himself at the first oppor¬
tunity. A row immediately after
the adjournment of the meeting
was only prevented by strategic
efforts on the part of friends.
However,tho thing was not hushed,
and all day Tuesday Mr. Thomp
son carried a heavy walking cane
in anticipation, he publicly
acknowledged, of an attack from
the man whose feelings he had
injured. During this time Mr.
Atkinson was growing no cooler,
and confided lo friends that ho
expected to have satisfaction • for
his injuries when the opportunity
came.
And it came about dark Tues
day evening when he, riding down
the street on a car, espied the
councilman walking in an oppo-
8 ite direction. He got oil the car,
turned back, and the first thing
anybody knew Mr. Thompson was
lying on the ground with Mr. At
kinson astride of his neck pum
moling him in the face at a furious
rate. The councilman had his
stick at the time, but was taken
sc , by surprise that he had no time
to use it. The trouble is thought
to be not yet ended.
So Atlanta did’nt let the week
pass without an excitement, and a
good one, too.
Without knowing anything
about the merits of either side,
The Herald hastens to extend
con gratulations to Mr. Atkinson
f or t } ie complete re/enge he has
had from the excitable, though
perhaps honorable councilman,
an( ] hopes, if the feud continues,
to be favored with the full details,
For Economy’s Sake.
Everyone has probably noticed
tiiat when a lady goes shopping
she always carries the pocketbook
her hand, and not infrequently
the city papers report the purloin
ing of such pocketbooks by sneak
thieves. The question has fre
quently been asked why the ladies
do not conceal their purses about
their . . Clothing , . „ when , they , out,
go
to which the answer has been made
that ,, , the ,, contents , , ot „ the ., pocket- , .
book are not worth so much trou
ble. Besides, if the purse were in
her pocket the sneak thief would
probably tear her gown iu trying
to get at it, damaging the garment
to the extent of a couple of dol¬
lars; while, if he snatches it from
her hand he tears nothin? and the
lady loses only about 9/ 111 casil,
some samples of dress goods, a 3/
lace handkerchief, two 1/ postage
stamps, two wads of chewing gum
and six visiting cards—total value
not exceeding 17/, or a total saving
of $1.73. Therefore it will observ*
ed that ladies carry their purses
in their hands as a matter of
economy.
Neill’s Cotton Estimate.
The power for good or bad which
a single man is capable of wield¬
ing in a financial way all over the
country was demonstrated in a
forcible way last week, when the
cotton futures took a sudden drop
on account of Mr. Neill’s estimate
of the incoming crop. It is stated
that in three days the cotton
planters lost at least $25,000,000
as a result of his prediction of a
large crop.
For years Mr. Neill has been
figuring in cotton, and, unfortu¬
nately lor the growers, has a few
times been fairly close in his ad¬
vance estimates of the probable
size of the crop. He has missed it
oftener than he has hit it in the
past ten years, but these times are
not taken account of, and when
his estimates are in favor of the
spinners they take him as good
authority and set their prices ac¬
cordingly. Therefore when Mr.
Neill says “a big crop,” the spin¬
ners say “a low price,” aud govern
themselves accordingly.
This year Mr. Neill’s estimate is
particularly damaging, from the
fact that it is about twenty per
cent, more than other well inform¬
ed cotton men have thought it
will be. He having been compar¬
atively close m his estimate for
the past two years gives him harm¬
ful power which every man who
sells a bale of cotton will feel.
Until it is shown that he has over¬
estimated the yield, the spinners
will offer prices according to his
estimate. • Though the general j
opinion is 1 a the cron will not!
exceed 10,000,000 bales, Mr. Neill s
estimate places it at 12,000,000,
which, being more favorable to
the spinners, they have adopted as
their guide in buying.
In the season of 1892-3 Mr.
Neill was 1,000,000 bales out of
the way on a crop of 6,750,000; in
the summer ot 1895 he was wrong
by 2,000,000 on a 7,000,000-bale
Crop, and his estimate of 9,000,000
on the crop of 1896-7 was wrong
by 1,000,000, which certainly
proves that he is not infallible, yet
that does not alter the extent of
the damage which will be done to
cotton growers by his big estimate
for this year.
A change in the form and size
of money orders will be made by
the pastoffice authorities. The
new shape will be about that of a
bank check.
