Whereas, The money sharks
goldbugs hnvo contracted the volume

uo money in the country to move the
cotton crop; and,
Whereas, Congress does not seem to
intend to give the necessary relief in
time to save us from bankruptcy;
therefore, bo it
“Resolved, That we earnestly appeal
to the governor of South Carolina to
call an extra session of the legislature,
not later than September 15th, to pass
a stay law on all debts falling due on
or before November 15tli, so that we
may be enabled to pay our debts with
out bankrupting ourselves and starv
ing our wives and children.
“Resolved, That under the present
conditions there is no way whereby we
can meet our debts without sacrificing
our homes and property, which we do
not propose to do. Takes our lives,
but do not starve our wives and chil

NEWS FROM PORT ROYAL.
Many More Dead Bodies Being Found
and Unceremoniously Hurled.
A special from Port Royal, 8. C.„
states that the islands around Port,
Royal and Beaufort presented that a sad
der scene Friday than was of
Thursday. The waters have begun
receding rapidly, and as they disnp
pear, leaving tho land in view, picture
of desolation and destruction multi
ply. portions Dead bodies are being of the found islands on
all of every one
and in most instances decomposition
has gone so far that anything like a
certain recognition is almost impoa
eible.
The discovery of the bodies. i* sad
enough but the burial which they are
given enhances the sadness of tho
story. No one has time now to join a
funeral cortege unless the funeral be
that of a member of his own family.
Those who have not lost by death »
relative are kept -busy repairing tho
damage to their property or saving what
they can from tho wreckage. The dead,
when found, arc left on tho ground
where discovered until grave diggers
can be secured, Then a shallow .
hole is made in the earth by scooping
out the mud. No digging is now
necessary, as the earth is almost a
puddle for from two to ten feet. The
hole once made tho body is dumped
in without coffin or clergy and tho
mud trampled back again. Sometimes
tho discoveries are so frequent and the
burials so multiplied that more than
one body is placed in the some hole.
COTTON MONEY.
New York Banks Will Furnish What
is Needed.
A special of Tuesday from Mem
phis, Tenn., says: All tho banks iu

ceived with joy by the local financiers,
who regard the financial stringency
as a thing of the past. The cotton
crop will begin moving in earnest
about September loth.
An Iron Trust Organized.
Tho organization was completed Lake pt

It will control fully nine-tenths of tho
productive mining capacity for Besse
mer ores of the United States, 'the
company has made on agreement, to
