South Georein Ilrigmic.
Way cross. Ga . July s—The Fourth was
1 fit singly observed in VVaycross. The exer
cises were under the auspices of ih3
South Georgia Camp Confederate Veter
ans. The event was more memorable on
account of its being the first reunion of
the South Georgia division, of the United
Confederate Veterans. This is Gen. llc-
Glashan's command, and is composed of
about thirty-two camps.
Representatives were pres nt f.om
marly ad the camps, Savannah sending
;h largest de.(gallons lrom La
Mci.aws Camp, and the Savannah Camp,
U. C. V., who escorted by the Sa
vannah Cauets. if any camps sent spon

au ar.d staff. Mayor Knight, and other
prominent people, were giouped on the
stage.
The meeting was called to order by Gm.
McGlashan, and the entire audience join
ed in singing * Nearer My God to Thee.”
following vvb.i h was the in vocation by
Chaplain B. A. Johnson, of South Georgia
( amp No 819. Judge Joe* L. Swea* made
ih address of wc i me cn behalf'bf the
local lodge, and as he mentioned the
names of many of the not*-.d Confederate
lead rs was ioudly applauded.
Hon. J. C. 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. She is a
daughter of the lace Gen. Lafayette Mc-
Laws and w’as greeted with tremendous
applause. U. 11. McLaws, son of the
late General, was next introduced, and
given a warm reception.
The sponsors and maids of honor were
next introduced. Three cheers and a
tiger were given. The sponsors and
maids of honor were: Brigade sponsor,
Miss Elizabeth Mr Laws; maids of honor,
Misses V. R. McLaws, Rebecca Dupont
and C. C. Wilkins. Sponsor of McLaws

He thereupon delivered a most eloquent
eulogy on the Confederate soldier, whom
he had always found a gentleman, a pa
triot and a fighter. His speech struck
the hearts of the old vets, and was re
ceived with deafening applause.
At the conclusion of the speech, Gen.
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. In substance the report
leaves the date for holding the reunion
wi'h the citizens of the ■* i*e selected and
the brigadier general commanding.
Judge J. I*. Sweat, in a neat and appro
priate speech, placed Gen. Peter McGlash
an in nomination to succeed himself as
commander of the brigade and lie was
unanimously elected.
Brunswick was placed in nomination by
Capt. W. F. Penniman as the place for
holding the next reunion, and was selected.

TRACT ON 11 N| HER LAND SOLD.
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.

on This tlie Estimated AerciißO for
Texas This Season Is (!,l v >2,592 —Too
Much Rain Atfeeted tlie Crop in
Sections of lli* South.
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. Trini y and Eab ne riv rs.
Thus, we fin<l th rop con :ti. ns in cas -

Is anc s from me w ■ k to ten and ys e'flier
! than last \ ar, and in excellent condition
at the present time.
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

Athens. Ga., July 5. —A swarm of honey
j bees l.as been taking possession of the
crockery store of J. H. Huggins & Cos.,
' cn Broad street.
The building in which the store is lo
cated is a very old one. On one side of
the shop there is an unused chimney, and
jin this, fer *he past ten years, a hive
, of bet s has made its home.
Recently, however, the. bees have be
come restless and perhaps a bit crowded.
Bo: ing their way through a hole in the
wall, they forced an entrance in o the
i down stairs department of ihe store, and
1 to: s veral days past have passed in and
out c f ihe room in a continuous scream,
J singing and buzzing around the heads of
j the curious beholders.
| But the bees finally became a nuisance.
! Mr. Huggins was forced to stop up the
! entrance and the busy little insects will
! have to continue using the top of the
j chimney a an entrance cr exit.
Years ago Policeman Moon, now de

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 Ft H RES.
Tlie Market L“** Activity nt
Rise of 47110 Point*.
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.

COTTON LETTERS.
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.
