The first day of September always aunches in another cotton year. Mr. b. Withers, who keeps the records at the city platform, informs the News man that the receipts for the past year amount to 23,329. For the year previous the receipts at the city plat- orm amounted to 22,783. This shows an increase for the past year over that of the previous year of 546 bales. In the early spring it was stated by well informed cotton men that the re ceipts in this city would show a de crease of anywhere from 2,000 to 3,000. I his was based on the extreme light receipts in March and April. But, all through the dull months, June. July and August, cotton has continued to roll in and the receipts have far sur passed the expectations of all. The receipts for today amounted to 26 bales. Best price 8.40 to 8.60.

At a meeting of the Ministers' Con ference held in the Y. M. C. A. parlors this morning, Revs. A. C. Barron, George Atkinson and G. H. Detwiler were appointed a committee to corre spond with Mr. Chas. N. Crittenton, of New York, the well-known evangelist, in order to ascertain if he would give Charlotte a date this fall. It is generally understood that Mr. Crittenton wishes to come South this fall and Charlotte will use every effort to secure him. Mr. CritTenton is one of the most prominent 'wholesale druggists in New York city. The death of his only daughter some time ago completely changed his life and he has since that sad event been devoting considerable time to evangelistic work. The ministers of the city are very anxious to secure his services here. He is a wealthy man and travels from place to place in his private car. THE BEATTIE CASE. Two Bonds of $500 Each Required. Case Set for Wednesday. Bond was fixed in the Recorder's court this morning in the case of R. A. Beattie who is charged with a mur derous assault on his wife. Owing to his physical condition, Mr. Beattie did not appear in court. His counsel, Mr. T. C. Guthrie, suggested that the case be held open until Wednesday. Dr. F. O. Hawley was then examined as to Mr. Beattie's physical condition. He stated that his patient was thor oughly rational and if he would ab stain from the use of liquors, he thought his condition would permit of his appearance in court Wednesday morning. Dr. Hawley tnougnt it advis able to continue the guard at the house, as Mr. Beattie might procure more whiskey, and, in such a case, his condi tion would be as dangerous as when he attempted the life of his wife. The court decided to require $500 appear ance bond and a peace bond of $500. This, Mr. Guthrie stated, would be given.
