Cotton Prejudice*.
It will bo of interest to our cotton men
to learn that tho Southern press generally
la objecting to the prejudices of Liverpool
In favor of New Orleans, and discrimina
tions made against cotton from other sec
tions which is just as good.
It is claimed that tlio use of fertilizers
has so assimilated cotton that it is about
the same In all sections, aud all prejudice
as to tho superiority of the cotton of any
particular State are groundless. The At
lanta Omatitulion has the following ar
ticle on the subject:
The Memphis cotton exchange officially
objects to the prejudice that exists in Liv
erpool in favor of New Orleans as a cotton
center. It is a well known fact, says the
Memphis people, that cotton from Mem
phis via New Orleans is sold and delivered
without difficulty in Liverj>ool as New Or
leans cotton, while precisely the same
kind of cotton as to staple, fibre ami hand
ling, cleared at New York, or other eastern
ports, is degradtwl and sold as “bales cot
ton" at 1-8 to i-i less than the New Orleans
shipments. And they then proceed to
show that the best cotton for staple, body
and handling, received in New Orleans are
drawn from the alluvial lands of Missis
sippi and Arkansas, contiguous to and
naturally tributary to Memphis. They
further show that their cottons command
an appreciation at home and among con
tinental spinners that is denied to them in
Liverpool, the world’s greatest cotton
market. They, therefore, urgently protest
against the continuance of the injurious
discriminations, and ask to have a place
assigned Memphis on the blackboard and
in tho market reports and circulars of the
Liverpool cotton brokers’ association, that
her consignments may be sold on their
own merits.
It is very plain that the complaints of
the Memphis Cotton Exchange are well
grounded. The favorite cottons that once
centered in New Orleans are now sent in
part to various points, and a large quanti
ty of inferior cotton finds its way to New
Orleans. And yet Liverpool maintains the
discriminations which are based on con
ditions that no longer exist. The railroad
system of tho South has materially ( hang
ed tho direction of cotton, and British ex
ports strongly refuse to accept the fact.
What Is true as to Memphis is also, true
of Georgia cottons. The free use of ferti
lizers has asslmulated the cottons of dif
ferent sections. There is no material dif
ference between our cotton and that of the
section about Memphis. This fact was
frankly acknowledged by the Memphis
papers last summer, when a considerable
quantity of upper Georgia cotton was sent
from Atlanta to Memphis. We thus have
a direct interest in the movement of the
Memphis Exchange to open the eyes of
our British consumers to the situation.
At present tho Liverpool brokers are
twenty-live years behind the times.
Fine. lliiln In lliii’rl* unil Meriwether.
From parties who witnessed it wo learn
that a fine rain fell near Hamilton Monday
afternoon. The heavy cloud in that direc
tion could bo seen from the city. Yester
day fuller reports came In of a glorious
rain which extended over a- greater part
of Harris and Meriwether counties. It is
described by many as one of the hardest
over known in that section. For three or
four hours it continued with unabated
force, and tho ground was at last blessed
with a thorough wetting. A rain was nev
er more welcome. Parts of tho country
on which it foil were dry and parched, and
had not had oven a shower for weeks upon
weeks. Crops were burning up and had
suffered much irreparable damage. It Is
thought that tho rain will restore them
wonderfully and that the younger corn
will make a fine yield. Cotton will be
much benefltted by the rain. Everywhere
it is looked on as very fortunate, and the
farmers in the section blessed by the rain
are in much better spirits. They are now
more hopeful of a good crop. Tills is real
ly good news, and we hope it has not been
at all exaggerated. The crops in parts of
Harris county did not get any of the rain,
however. They are still dry and parched
and little hope is entertained that they
will make more than half a yield. The
crops In Meriwether are better, and the
rain of Monday extended more generally
over that county.
The l,n*t of* t hi* Ucltee*.
Last Wednesday Indian Bam, the last
survivor of the lichee Indians, died at
HawkinsviUe. Ho had arrived at a good
old age, and was well known in the neigh
borhood whore ho lived. He bore a good
character and was highly esteemed. The
Uchocs were once a powerful tribe in Geor
gia. They inhabited that part of theHtate
about the present site of Auguste. The
tribe never went West, but slowly died
away before advancing civilization In
Georgia. Tho death of the last survivor
of a once numerous and powerful tribe is
strikingly sad. The Indians are fast dying
out, and it may not be many years before
they disappear as completely even from
their own territory as they have now from
the soil of Georgia.

The present week was set apart some

invited to attend. Services will bo brief

THE ITORUt
A HEAVY BLOW YESTEBDAY -BUIN OF
TBKES—FKEAKB OF LIGHTNING, ETC.
Yesterday about one o’clock there fell in
tide city one of tho hoviest and hardest
rains known for years. A shower fell
about eleven o'clock, after which the clouds
seemed to gather thicker than ever, anti
to prepare for a grand demonstration of
their power. The ruin began to fall very
hard about a quarter to one, and for forty
minutes it continued with unabated force.
At one timo the wind blew fiercely, and the
storm was one of the most severe we over
saw. The rain fell in hugo drops, which
were blown into perfect Sheets by the
wind. It was impossible to see for any
distance through these volumes of falling
water. The torrents and wind kept up a
loud noise, and the loudest of talking was
necessary. About this timo there was a
heavy fall of hull and the rain seemed to
fall, after it, heavier than ever. The thun
der kept up an almost continuous roar,
and the lightning flushes were unusually
frequent and bright. The storm for ten
minutes was grand, and one could imagine
that he was witnessing a destructive tor
nado. Limbs were falling all around,
signs wore flying out into the business
streets, fences were falling, and all presen
ted a scene of confusion. The rain did not
entirely cease until nearly two o'clock,
when the air was delightfully clear and
pure.
DAMAGES.
The scene presented to one who looked
out after tho storm showed clearly how
severe it had been. The streets which
throw the water off were badly washed,
and those that were lower wore complete
ly covered with water. The track of the
Mobile A Girard Railroad was completely
under water where it crosses Jackson
street, and the street looked like a big fish
pond. Tho east commons were in a float
and presented a huge sherd of water. The
timber which is to be used to build the ne
gro school-house was floating about in all
directions. The inhabitants of the com
mons were wading about in the water as
if it were their native element. The trees
suffered very much, many being badly
blown to pieces, and tiieir limbs strewn ail
over the streets and sidewalks. One or
two trees in the lower part of the city were
blown completely down, and one, near the
Halloca grocery, was struck by lightning.
It is rumored that some small houses in
the same quarter were demolished. Quite
a numlmr of signs on Broad street were
torn away from their fastenings and car
ried some distance. Many a housewife
was made unhappy by the leakage of roofs
and the beating of rain through windows.
The Deputy Marshal was busy nearly
ail the afternoon in making his colonxl
hands remove rubbish and limbs from the
sidewalks to render them passable.
THE LIGHTNING FREAKS.
Tho display of electricity was fine. The
lightning struck the Mobile and Girard
track near the car shed and ran down It
for some distance. One or two trees were
struck near Wynn’s Hill. One bolt struck
very near to some workmen who were
eating dinner a little distance from the
car shed. It was reported that one or two
houses were struck. A cow was knocked
down by a bolt which struck near the Ea
gle and Phenlx Mills.
No loss than seven or eight bolts struck
in the city limits Several freight cars on
tho Southwestern Road were blown a con
siderable distance down the track. One
or two of them were blown off on the cross
ties. Though the storm was very severe
and tho lightning struck several places in
the city, there was no injury to a human
being that we heard of, and tho storm left
t he whole atmosphere delightful and pure.
Later in the afternoon a steady rain set
in and lasted into the night. Wo have had
an abundance of rain in the city. Reports
came in last night that the rain had boon
general in the comity and that crops were
greatly benefitted. There are some parts
of the county which have not had a drop
of rain for eight weeks. It is to be hoped
that they received some of yesterday's
bountiful rain.
YEW COTTON.
TWO BALES YESTERDAY.
The first new cotton of the season was
brought to the city by the George W.
Wylly, whieli arrived from down the river
early yesterday morning.
We had no first bale this year. Two
bamo together. The date this year is two
days later than that of the receipt of last
year’s first bale, it arriving on the Bth of
August.
One of the bales of new cotton which
came yesterday was consigned to Messrs.
Swift, Murphy and Cos. It was shipped
by S. H. Dickinson and Cos. from Neil’s
Landing, Fla. It was raised by a negro
on Mr. Amos Hays’ plantation, in Henry
county Alabama. It is classed as good
ordinary and is full weight. It is yet
unsold.
The other bale was consigned to Flour
noy, MeGehee and Cos. It was shipped to
them by B. B. Barkley of Greenwood, Fla.,
and was raised by him. Weighs 583
pounds, and is classed as strict good ordi
nary. It is not yet sold. We may look
for more new cotton soon.

What Makes the Mky Mine.
The ethereal blue oolor of the sky
Is due to minute part ivies of matter
wnioh flout in the air. Were those
particles removed the appearance of
the sky would be dead black. It is a
fact In optics that exceedingly fine
portions of matter disperse or scatter
the blue rays of light, coarser por
tions scatter red rays, stiil coarser
portions scatter all the rays, making
white light. The atmosphere is full
of aqueous vapor. I lit; particles of
whieii diffuse white light, in all direc
tions. When the panicles are en
larged they become visible in tho
form of clouds. That the diffusion
of light in our atmosphere, the blue
coloring of the sky and colors of the
clouds, are due to the presence of
matter floating in the air, lias been
conclusively proven by Tyndall. On
passing a beam of sunlight through a
glass tube the beam is rendered bril
liantly visible by tho reflection of
light from the dust i(articles floating ;
in the air contained in the tube. But j
on removing the dust particles, which i
is done by Altering the uir by cotton
wool, or causing the air to puss over |
a flame, the beam of light is no longer :
visible in the tube.— Exchange.

Trt Obtain Fruit Frimi Harrell Trees.
A correspondent of the Anwrhnn
Agru nlturixtx says: “1 wish to de
scribe to you a method of making
fruit trees bear that I blundered on.
Some iifteen years ago I had a small
apple tree that leaned considerably.
I drove a stake by it, tied a string to
a limb, and fastened it to the stake, j
The next year that blossomed full,
and not another blossom appeared I
on the tree, and, as Tim Bunker!
says, ‘it got me a thinking,’ and 1
came to the conclusion that the
string was so tight that it prevented I
the sap returning to the roots; eon- j
sequentiy it formed fruit buds. Hav- j
ing a couple of pear trees that were I
large enough to hear, but had never I
blossomed, I took a coarse twine and |
wound it several times around the
tree, above the lower limbs, and
tied it as tight as I could. Tin
next spring all the top above tho cord
blossomed as white as a sheet, and
there was not otic blossom below;
where the cord was tied. A neigh- j

In early summer, say June or July,

The demand for Dr. J. Bradfleld's Fe
male Regulator is beyond precedent in
the annals of popular remedies. Orders
come in so thick and fast that tlio Propri
etor lias, heretofore been unable to fill
them all. He is happy to state that ar
rangements are now complete by which
he is prepared to manufacture Female
Regulator on a scale equal to the emer
gency, and the public may fool assured
that their wants may now be supplied.
Physicians of high repute are using this
great remedy, in daiiy practice, all over
eorgia. Hereafter no woman need suf
fer from suppressed, suspended or irreg
ular menstruation. This valuable medi
cine is prepared by L. H. Bradtiold, Drug

HEARTY, BLOoMINO WIDOW.
Marietta, Ga., March 9,1870.
Messrs. Bradfield A (h.:
Gentlemen—You will please ship us an
other supply of your invaluable Female
Regulator, and forward bill by mail. We
are happy to state that this remedy gives
better satisfaction than any article we
i sell. We nin e been selling it since 1868,
and witnessed many remarkable cures by
; it. Among others, there was a lady
i friend of ours who was sallow aud sickly
until she was t wenty-six years old, when
she was married. Her husband lived two
years and died. Hhe continued in bad
health; in fact, she has never been what
a woman ought to be. A few months
after the death of her husband she saw
your advertisement, and came to our
store and bought a bottle of your Regula
tor from us, and took it according u> di
rections. It lias cured her sound and
well, brought her regular monthly peri
ods on, and to-day she is a hearty, bloom
ing widow—with the use of but two bot
tles of your Regulator, costing her only
three dollars, when she had tned several
physicians and spent a great deal of
money without any benefit. Wishing you
great success with your valuable reme
dies. we are, respectfully yours, etc.,
W. Root A Sons.
