McDonald, on behalf of the Mayor and Council, as well as the citi zens of VVaycross, made a telling address of welcome. The response was made by Gen. McGlashan in a most touching man ner. At the conclusion of Gen. McGlash nn’s speech the transaction of regular business was in order. Judge J. L. Sweat read the report of the Committee on Con stitution and By-laws, which was unani mously adopted. Gen. McGlashan in troduced Miss Elizabeth McLaws, sponsor for the South Georgia Division.

McGlashan and staff, the sponsors and maids of honor in carriages and the old veterans on foot, marched up Plant ave nue to where the barbecue was to be held. Tables over 700 feet long were spread with barbecued beef, pork, mutton and other edibles, and a sumptuous re past was enjoyed by all, there being enough food to feed thousands more than were present. The afternoon business session was call ed to order by Commander McGlashan. The Committee on Resolutions* made its report, which was adopted without a dis senting vote.

The CftrnejaJcM Now Own Almost the Entire Island. St. Marys, Ga., July\s.—That body of land on Cumberland Island known as the Fordham and Sheppard tract, and belong ing to the estate of the late Silos Ford ham, was sold Tuesday at public outcry, to the Carnegie*?, who now own about th> whole of the island. This iroct contains about 3.000 acres, and the price paid was $6,000, the Carnegies being the ownly bid ders. It is said that Mr. Fordham once refused $20,000 for one-half of it, and at another time, refused $40,000 for one-half interest in it. Chancellor Walter B. Hill, who i executor cf Mr. Ford ham’s will, was present at the sale. The clerk of the County Court haw re ceived a mortgage for record, given by the Waycross Air Line Railway, in favor of the Farmers’ Trust Company of New York, for $500,000. One clause in the mort gage grants the Air Line the privilege of borrowing $1,409,000 at some future time iii that part of the road no: now com plete. This road* now runs from VVaycross to Fitzgerald, and as the route from St. Marys to Wnyerctss was surveyed several years ago. and a short piece graded, it is thought that the intern ion of those, a* the head of it is to press on now to deep water, And a harbor that will give them every facility for shipping. This they wili find at St. Marys. Bcticifort Itillf Contest. Beaufort, S. C..

Atlanta, Ga., July s.—Murphy & Co.’s estimate of the Texas cotton crop, and re vised figures for the estimated yield of the cotton belt for 19C0, says: In our estimate of the cotton crop, com puted upon information received between June 1 and 15, we called attention 10 a shrinkage in the Texas acreage resulting from unfavorable weather conditions and the abandonment of bottom lands; also, to the indefinte nature of-an estimate for this state at that lime, owing to a lac k of in forma ion as to hovv much of those aban doned areas would 1* re pi amel,or to what extent wheat stubble lands would be planted in cotton this season. Insomuch as the Texas yield is about one-fourth that of the entire cotton belt, | and therefore a most important factor in . any estimate of the crop al large, it was decided to make a canvass of every county | in the state, in order to arrive at a cor ■ rection in regard to the present condition of the cotton crop therein. Therefore, on June 20 inquiries were mailed to every county, and to various responsible corre spondents in ever cot ion center, number ing in all about sco for the state. From our j replies, which were prompt, we have dc i duced the following conclusions, bringing the conditions up to July 1. The most striking f aturc of our re turns is the : ensue.onal shrinkage in acre age. owing to abandoned lrwUnds and the impossibility of ccnv- rtmg stubble fields into cotton cultivation cn account cf tlie lateness f the season an l ! scarcity of cotton s e l ar.d farm labor. ; That an increase in acreage, of perhaps, an average of 20 to 25 per nt. over las; y ar was intei d*V, is i; di aUd by the percentages cf ir,e as ■ r 1 r and fr in h * sections ur.aff cte.l by tlie h* avy rains * and overflows in th ■ valb ys of the Uo o ! rado, Brazos.

I Giapeland in Eist T xis reporting an increase in acp age cf 25 per cent, with the obsvrvaticn: ‘lf we can have a few weeks dry her. thir.k crop will 1 e about 25 per cent, letter ihan last year.” While Gladewater, in the northeast, re j ports an Increase in acreage of 10 per ! cent., crops two weeks earlier than last j year, and at present in splendid condi tion reports an increase of 15 per cent., with general eondMions 10 per e nt. bet ! ter than l ast year. Paris reports an in -1 crease of 10 per cent., crop ten days I earlier and in perfect condition. Blos- I som reports reports acreage about the same as last year, crop earlier and con ! ditions good. Sulphur station, in Bowie ; county, reports the acreage as “three times as much as l ist year,’’ stand better ! and general conditions fine. Gilmer and Big Sandy, both in the northeast, report 1 an increase of 25 per cent. Sherman, 1 Wichita Falls and V< rnon. on the north : ern border, report increase s of 10. 25 and 15 per cent., respectively. Ballinger and Abilene, in the west, showing increases of 25 and 15 per cent., respectively, crop in good condition, while from F.rownville. j in the south, we have an increase of 50 per cent, in acreage, crop condition splcn i did. But while these reported increase’s In acreage are rather abnormal, they are mainly from the otprr edges of the cry ton area proper, and are completely lost in the decreases reported from all over Central Texas, ranging from 10 to 75 per cent. Nfarly every corn■■saondent report ing lands abandoned or laving >ut im planted on account <>f overflows and late seasons. The drought that followed the heavy rain' seems to have prqved very damaging in many sections where the bott< m larked or the dry, hot weather. Thus Caineroa reports: “Unless it rains soon, I here vill.be noth ing made in this portion of the state on bc4tom lands, including the famous Bra zos.’’ Brvan reports a decrease of 25 per cent., and says that '‘under most favor -1 able conditions not more than n t half cron enn be made." Id orb* Luke r- ports ! a decrease in acreage of 25 per cent., with I genera! crop conditions 50 per cent, below last year. Montgomery shows a de * erras. of 40 per rent, acreage. Clarendon a decrease o f 50 per rent,. Thompsons a doorcase of 25 per cent.. While-bore*, and - crease of 50 per cent.: StlUson, n decrease cf 50 per cent.; Coleman, a decrease 125 pc* cent : Salads, n decrease of 30 per rent.; Stud's f': *rc. a door* use of 30 ! per cent., and so on, over most of the I cotton arena. Many correspondents re port <hat Increases were Intended., but I that, owing to the heavy rains and un favorable seasons, decrease? have result- , ed g- nerally. There seem? to have been ! little or no stubble lands planted in cot- j I ton this year. i On the whole, the rrop average rwo an.) | a half weeks late, several points repori j ir.g if os late .os six weeks. 1 As to general conditions, the general ; tenor seems to toe unfavorable at this lime. I Df our correspondents, only 37 per cent, report crop in good condition, while 23 per cent, report crop suffering for rain; 19 per (Crm. complain seriously of boll and web worms; and 20 per cent, report crop in | weeds and generally in bad condition. ’rolling our returns at their face value, | which have corroborated each other, in i ,n >uy instances where more than one re i l‘‘.v was received from the same place, we ; find that the expected increase in acreage has not only been wiped out, but that u : decline of 2.4 per cent, has undoubtedly i occurred. With a decrease in acreage of I 2.4 per cent, from last year, for Texas, uc must needs readjust our estimated , acreage fc*r the cotton belt as per our i former report, also our figures for the i total yield of this year’s crop. Based upon last year’s Texas acreage, this 2.4 per cent, decline gives us an es ; ■ ■ ■ " i for T. xis of only 6,482.- ' a res for this* year, which reduces the i iotal acreage estimated for the cotton 1 belt, to 24.595.395 acres, being a net in crease over last year of 6.17 per cent., while indicating a total yield of only 10.- 6;>6,.*13 bales. Since our Inst repeat, there h s been some complaint of excessive ra;n.s in South Carolina. Alabama and • tb orgria and Mississippi, but not of sufli | cion* importance to warrant any change I iu llie e^*’imates given for thetse states.

Morning News Office, July s.—The fea ture of the local markets to-day was the advance of 3-16 cent on all grades of cot ton at the closing call, at whiefa the mar ket was steady on sales of a fair lot. There was a little improvement in the demand, though it was not sufficient to add much interest to the situation. There was very little activity in the New York futures market, which closed steady at an.advance of 4 and 10 points. The turpentine markett closed firm at 43V* cents, with sales of a fair lot. Fac tors are indifferent about selling at the present price, preferring to apply receipts to deliveries, rather than part with their holdings at quotations. The feature of the naval stores market tvas the advance of 5 cents on all grades of rosins, which was reported at the opening. At the ad vance it was admitted the market was very firm, and that conditions point to a maintenance of present values. The wholesale markets were steady and un changed. The following resume will show the tone and quotations of the markets to day : COTTON. The cotton market was marked up 3-16 cent to-day on all grades.

New* York, July s.—To-day’s cotton market was less active than any of late, with the trade showing evidences of inde cision. The influences bearing upon een timent were varied and not easily weigh ed. The first factor to be considered was a pronounced advance in the English mar ket, lK>th spot cotton and future delivery cotton being affected there by rumors of continental failures, continued feverish demand for spot cotton from European* spinners, and apparent effort on the part onf prominent o|K?rators to bull the mar ket and knowledge that the short interest was yet a formidable feature. Our mar ket opened steady with July seventeen t>ointß higher and ether months seven to eleven points higher on brisk demand from foreign representatives and nervous buy ing for the account of local shorts. Before midday both Liverpool and New York were affected by sensational political news from China and a fine weather map. Sel ling for long and short accounts here and abroad carried prices off sharply. Later in the session prices rallied on light covering by local parties, closing the market quiet ami steady at a net rise of four to ten points.

New* York, July s.—Hubbard Bros. & Cos. say: While the American ni irk . were close-1 the Liverpool nuukd <vlva , ed sharply, meeting with few Belling < - ders from America. When the home ma - ker opened, advices were at hand of show ers in Texas, and free selling; orders wer received from the South and Southw these offerings were absorbed by Liv pool, bought heavily on arbitrage trans actions. Our local trade joined in th selling, carrying the quotations nearly t . those of Tuesday evening. Liverpool expected to be much, lower in answer to the weak American markets of to-day. The local temper appears to have becopi quite bearish, as a result of w at: • advices from Texas, where the crop w.is beginning to need rains. New York, July s.—Murphy & Cos. say: Cotton in Liverpool since Tuesday clos* advanced on spots; middling, 5 7 ; d: yes terday, 15,000 and- to-day, 15,000. Futures opened 5-64 to 6-64d above Tuesday, on o. i and 12-64d on new crops, closed 5-6 id high er on former, and 6-641 on latter. Th! news wos quite favorable, and with iv ly ing of January delivery for Liverpool, and some shorts covering, caused 6 to 17 points rise at our opening, but prices ruling easi er since on locals, and New Orleans sell ing owing to favorable weather reports. Needed rains have been reported in u num ber of sections'in Texas. Market contin ues nervous, quite large short interest ac cumulated. DRY GOODS.
