The Bulloch Herald. OFFlClAL ifil OF TJiE COUNTY. ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR. PUBLISHED THURSDAYS. Entered at the postotUce at Statesboro, (la., as ■second-class mail matter. Office in the rear of Dr. Holland’s Oil lee on South Main street. Call and see us. The Herald. 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. Ordinary’s Notices. FOR LEAVE TO SELL LANDS.
