FARMERS, HOLD BACK YOUR COTTON. ’ It is evident that a deep-laid scheme has been concocted to rob the southern farmer of his honest rights by depressing the price of cotton through the medium of Neil, the cotton “expert ” Eng lish spinners are behind this move ment. and if the receipts of cotton continue heavy their scheme will succeed. The crop is undoubtedly short from 1,600,000 to 2,500,000 bales, and the drouth throughout Texas and the southwest continues day by day to cut it still shorter. In view of these conditions, the thing for the southern farmer to do is to hold back his cotton for a higher price. It is bound to come, and that, too, within the next 00 days, if the market is not glutted at the opening of the sea son. Ask your merchant to help you hold back your cotton, allowing it to come on the market gradually, a few bales at a time. If you have given a cotton note for guano let that come along, but hold back the balance as long as possible, or until prices show a material advance. Cotton is opening prematurely, and the receipts will naturally bo heavy if the staple is put on the market as fast as it is picked and ginned. Hold your cotton for higher prices! You have everything to gain and nothing to lose by doing sc, for certainly the price cannot go lower than it now is. The decreased yield warrants 8c for cotton, and if the farmery will but use discretion/,urf'market ing the product thfjy will be get ting this price by November 15th. . Again it happens. Just as the ctfj.on miyfket begins to advance Neill comes along with a bear pre diction. He maintains that we are to have a 12,000,000 bale crop, but says nothing as to the losses from rust and flood in Texas, or the increased demand. Mr. Neill remains the friend of the cotton buyer. But the price lias risen and it is evidently the English opinion that it will continue to rise. There are reasons for the belief. The damage in Texas is positive and considerable. There has been a limitation of the acreage. The drouth prevails all over the South. The demand for cottoD goods has increased very greatly. The mills have contracts that will keep them busy until next spring and their old stock of the staple is running low. The conditions, therefore, are such as to indicate, if anything, a steadily advancing market with good pnc»s for the cotton farmers in the fall.— Gainesville Eagle. •IX INDICTED FOR MURDER. Gainesville, Ga., August 18.— The Hall county grand jury, which was called together iu special ses sion by Judge J. B. Estes last Wednesday, adjourned this after noon at 4:80 o'clock. Mark Bell, Ollie Bell, Charley Tanner, Heurv Towery, Tom Bryson and Taylor Hamilton were indicted for mur der. No other business was taken up by the grand jury save a recom mendation that the public loads of the county be given attention by the road commissioners. Also a recommendation that no special term of court be held before the first or middle of November. Judge Estes announced tnat he thought it would be advisable to wait until about that time to hold a special term to try these cases, but that he would take the matter under advisement and announce later when he would call the special session. Three of the parties indicted, vis: Charley Tanner. Tom Bry sou and Taylor Hamilton are now in jail, the two first named bein': here and the latter in Atlanta, i Warrants have beeu issued foi - Mark and Ollie Bell aud Henr Towery. The specific remedy for trouble of i 4jic blood, kidneys, stomach, liver, is j Hood’s Sarsaparilla, the great blood purifier. TK FAVOR OF WHITE PRIMARIES. lii his speech before the Georgia Agricultural society the other day, President Brown declared himself in favor of white prima ries. It has been one of the curiosi ties of politics that for years dur ing which the cities have found it necessary to resort to white pri maries for the selection of office holders, in the country the nogro vote has been permitted to hold the balance of power. As a con sequence of this participation in politics, the negro has been made more dangerous in the very dis tricts where danger wag most nat urally to be expected from his presence. There never will be any telling the amoumt of demor alization and bad government which has resulted from this courting of the negro vote. In lonely and seclued places, where there was not present the majestic force of law, through officers ready to uphold it, negroes have been corralled together and made much of by politicians looking for their votes. Inflated with an undue idea of their importance from the atten tion thus given to him, these ne groes have become unruly, turbu lent and impudent. Crimes have followed and then the communi ties where they have occurred have been compelled to rise in self defense against the criminals —misled wretches who were led into error by the familiarity by which they had been treated. One of the first communities in Georgia to dispense with the ne gro vote altogether was the city of Atlanta. During the prohibition campaigns in this city it was seen that even a holy cause was ren/ dared unrighteous when vrifu through the maudlin gatherings of drunken negro ruffians. It was the part of wisdom which ludf our people thereafter to determine that in all future contesfi/the ap peal should be made fiAhe white vote only. As the oAultof this determination the Primary elect ions of Atlanta Jfiave been con ducted with grcfot decorum and satisfaction, jko much so that other cities, liugered with the old pla», o:ie by one dropped it and ha ye come to the determi nation abide by white prima ries hereafter. Tire necessity which led to such ac,Won in the oities is even greater yh the rual districts. There, if anywhere, the hand of the white man should be supreme, aud on no account should the negro be called in to adjust differences be tween rival white men. President Brown, in speaking in favor of white primaries, without reference to the question of the ultimate destiny of the negro, has spoken wisely; and it is to be hoped that every county in Georgia will de cide to have its affairs directed by white men only.—Atlanta Consti tution. The editor of the News-Herald is gratified to see a change of heart in Editor Howell ou this subject. Just this thing we contended for in the state convention last year, but Editor Howell was crosswise on the question then. In fact, he “sat down” ou our resolution when it went before the commit lee on platform, of which he was the chairman. But “it’s better late than never.” The scales have fal len from his eyes, and he at last sees the danger of negro domina tion. We shall renew our resolu tion at the next convention; aud since Editor Howell has become a convert to our way of thinking we shall expect his assistance in get ting the party to emphatically de clare against the ignorant, venal vote being used by democrats in their county primaries. The Texas Grangers, uow in ses sion, advise farmers to combine to hold cotton back ; disposing of it piecemeal, one-third in September and October, one-third November aud December aud oue-third iu January aud February. Unless prices improve, this policy ought to be popular, as far as circum stances admit. Neill's estimate, which the Grangers denounce, would not have had the power to sustain price depression last year and will not this year, unless cor robated by receipts.—Vicksburg Herald.

During the past week the fluctu ations in cotton on the New York exchange have been very marked, with an upward tendency. Futures advanced Monday 22 points, and on Tuesday made a further advance of 17 points. , Heavy pressure lowered the latter advance, but Wednesday the mar i ket closed strong, at a net advance i for the day of 7 points, Januarys closing at 6.19. English spinners who discredit Neil’s 12,000,000 bale estimate i have sent trusted agents to Texas, • Georgia and other cotton states to report on the crop, and when they see the actual damage there is i bound to be a sharp advance, ■ when their report is submitted. , The News-Herald predicted last i spring that cotton would sell for 8c per pound this fall, and we have every reason to believe that this prophecy will come true. However, this price will not be at tained until November or the firsrf of December. f We advise farmers to hold im<d\x cotton till the true situation m as certained, feeling that prices later in the seasaM will be at least one cent per unund more than they will be to obtain at the opening of tjfe market. NEILL'S IHEUICTKIN While cotta/ men generally are looking for a smaller crop of cot ton for tha/season that is soon to begin, Mt. Henry M. Neill of New Orlean/annouDces that the crop will 1» an exceptionally good one, and lhat in volume it will equal, if \£ dosen’t exceed, the crop of tltfe season now near its close. It /is unfortunate for the cotton growers that Mr, Neill has on two or three occasions guessed pretty closely to the cotton yield, so that he has iu a measure the confi dence of the cotton spinners of Europe. His estimate of the crop for the seagon beginning with Sep tember will have the effect of causing European spinners to buy just as little as they can get along with, hoping by reducing the de mand that they will be able to get what they want at even lower prices than those prevailing. Mr . Neill is about the only cot ton man who thinks that the crop will be a large one. The opinion prevails among cotton men quite generally, that the crop has been badly hurt in several of the states by the drought, worms and rust. The yield is being cut down also by shedding on an extensive scale. From what we have seen in the public prints the opinion among well informed cotton men is that the crop will be considerably be low that of the season just about closing. Mr. Neill has no superior means for discovering the actual condition of the crop in the various parts of the cotton belt. From what Mr. Cutts, a cotton buver of this city, says, he is not as well equipped for keeping in touch with all parts of the cotton belt as many other cotton men are. He watches the weather and bases his predictions on the infor mation gained from that source. Ami yet this man has it in his power to cause the South to lose millions of dollars annually by predicting a large crop and thus leading the ootton spinners cf Europe to make their purchas es ou the basis of the large crop It is true that they run the risk of having to pay a high price later in the season if it should then ap pear that the crop would be a small one, but if they can get a low price fixed at the beginning of the season they can manage to get a good supply at low prices before the shortage really becomes known. As for the cotton far mers, the most of the smaller ones market their cotton just as soon as it is picked, and therefore a high price later in the season is of no benefit to them. There are many cotton men in this country who are muoh better informed in respect to the cotton crop than Mr. Neill, because their means of obtaiuiug information are very much greater, but, un fortunately, the spinners of Eu rope do not place as much confi dence in them as they do in Mr. Neill. It is safe to say that Mr. Neill costs the cotton farmers many millions of dollars every year.—Savaunah News. BAD ..

Dill in of the -Cocoa states that the town of Red bay, on the island of Andros, twenty miles southwest of Nassau, was swept away in the recent tiopical hurri cane and about 800 lives lost. An eye witness of the storm estimated the loss of life on the island to be fully 600 people. Scattered through the wreck of houses at Red Bay after the storm subsided, he gaid, were hundreds of corpses of persons of all ages and classes. Capt. Dillon gays the wind blew at the rate of ninety miles an hour at Nassau, with oc casional gusts which reached a ve locity of 105 miles an hour. The estimate for a 12,000,000 bale cotton crop for the present yejir.-made by Neill of New Or leans has caused prices to go down with such great loss to the cotton growers of the South, a prominent gentleman of Macon, who is well posted on cotton, wired t@ one of the leading cotton firms in New Orleans for informa tion as to how Neill itrrived at his figures. The following answer was immediately received: “Has few correspondents if ?ny; figures on average tempera ture and rainfall aud dose a lot of guessing. We would advise hold ers of cotton to look up Neill’s re cord in 1892-8, 1895-6, 1896-7 be fore accepting his conclusions on the crop without reservation.” This telegram created a great dual of interest among cotton men in Macon yesterday, as the senders of this telegram are among the leading cotton men in the South. —Macou Telegraph. NO EXTRA TERM. Gainesville, Ga., Aug. 20. Tom Bryson and Charley Tanner, who have been in the Hall county jail since being arrested, charged with the murder of Si Smith, have been removed from here to Fulton county jail. While there was pos sible no danger from any source, Judge J. B. Estes granted the ap plication for their removol, Judge Estes says that uo term of court, will be held to try the six men— Taylor Hamilton, Tom Bryson, Charley Tanner, Henry Towery, Mark Bell aud Oliver Bell—whom the grand jury indicted for mur der, before November. Possibly they will not be tried befaro regu lar term of court, January next. Lowery as yet has not been ar rested ; neither has Mark or Oliver Bell. LIKE HOUNDLAP BALES Opinions of Cotton Farmers aud Ginners after a Season's Experience. The attitude of cotton ginners and farmers towards the Koundlap cotton bale of the American Cotton Company after a season’s test of the machine, is illustrated by a letter received recent ly by the editor of the Manufactub kks’ Kkcobd, Baltimore, as follows : Editor Manufacturers’ Kkcord : Some time ago you requested us to give you our opinion of the American Cotton Co.’s cylindertcal press. At that time we were unable to give our views correctly, owing to the short time we had operated the press Now that the ginning season has closed, we can unquestionably say that the press is a success in every paticular, not on ly from a ginner’s standpoint, but as practical farmers. The result from sale of our cotton have been eminently satisfactory and much beyond what we had anticipated. The advantages to planter and operator are so many that it would take up to much space to enumerate them. It is sufficient to say that no one who has baled their cotton on this press would now or here after patronize any other. And why should theyV Their ginning charges are less than the square-press people charge, and they receive from one quarter to one-half cent per pound more than they could get in the square hale. There is no question about the round bale being here to stay, and we would advise the ginmen, especially those who are near a railroad, to get in the swim at once and exemplify the old adage of the early bird gets the worm. They will not only benefit themselves, but their friends, the far mers, will get the cream that the mid dlemen, the commission merchants, have been enjoying and getting rich upon. In conclusion, to condense the advantages, will say that the bale is fireproof, waterproof, dustproof, and prof that it is a labor-saving and mon ey-makidg bale to the farmer. Morris & Mores.
