Ill " " X per cent, of the defendants vere whites, while la " th.T were 17 negroe. and 1 whites. He stated that there had been con vlctlons in about half the caaes. but did not state that nlnete.n out. of twenty of the convicted were negroes, which is about the corr. tt pro portion. His honor then called at tention to the fsct that hou d the crime of rape be committed In the county, a white woman being the victim, s wave of horror and n dtgnatlon would sweep oer it with lightning rapidity and men would Immedlstely see to it that the law was vindicated, and as a jvsult ot this sentiment no suoh crimes are committed In York. He then cit'd the fact that the crime of arson U almost unknown In the circuit, and for the same reason. On the other hand, he ald, the public doe not look upon the taking of human life a. a serious crime coniilder it a minor offense and as" a result the red-handed murderer umially Mils to' receive his dues. His honor stressed tha fact that solemn duties devolved upon grand and petit Jurors, and that the former were in poaltlon to meuld public opinion along rlht lines, not only by their recommenda tions and In their official capacities, but by their Influence in the com munities in which they lived, and that petit Jurors were In position to stamp out crime by findlnK verdicts strictly In accordance with thu law snd evidence. He alo culled at tention to the possibilities of com paratively few cltixetis In a county or community moulding public senti ment along right line. There era croakers, kickers and knocker, in all communities and of course we have them In and around Torkville. Last fall they learned. through the newspaper, that a panic wa. on In Wall Street, and forthwith they commenced to croak and pre dict dlre results and many of them are .till busy, bualer than they have been at anything since that time in the way of earning a living. There has never been anv real panic or its effects in and around Yorkvlll. or In York county, so far a. this cor respondent has been able to learn, aside from the fact that at this place two of the cotton mills have been closed down the greater portion of the past two or three months, and that one Is still closed. The Tork Banking & Mercantile Co.. of this place, l one of the largest dis tributors of general merchandise In this section, doing an extensive time business a. well aa cash, and one cf the manager advised me yesterday that up to this time Its business was SO per cent, greeter than last year, and It rash sales at least 20 per cent, greater. He stated that his concern had allowed scores of Its - eustotner. who owed 1907 accounts to hold the cotton which, according ' W contract, should have been ap plied to those accounts last fall, and as a result large sums on last year's business were still due. The Thomson Company, another extensive dis tributor f dry goods, clothing, shoes, millinery, etc., doing business here, principally on a cash basis, asserts that Its business is considerably ahead - of. the same time last year, and this would Indicate that cash Is not un usually scares. It I a fact that both the local banks have advanced large sums on cotton In the hands of farmers, but notwithstanding this fact they have been able to extend their regular customers all the ac commodation needed. The numerous other business concerns here seem to be doing equally as well as In prevl- - Ju-yara It is estimated that there are still about 15,000 bales of cotton In the hands of the producers In this county and " that scores of them have about come to tbe conclusion that thev will accept II cents, if they can get lc w niie tne local buyers would be de lighted to do business with . the owners of the cotton, they , are not in position to Handle Urge quantities for the reason that they are not buying except as they receive orders from the mills,. and mill orders ars not numerous at prices desired by th iuiuers These figures do not entirely rep resent !ne total production of cotton in the world, as large quantities are grown anri consumed in the homes of the people in China, India, Asiatic Russia and In other Kastern countries. and In Houih and. Central America, which do not enltr Into commercial chMimeis and 1 animt lc estimated with any degree of accuracy. Though the .United Slate In 1907 produced 68 pf-it cent, of Great Brit am s cotton consumption, it in the years I7SS to 1790 contributed only .1 mere trifle of that consumption lews than 1 per cent. At that period the West Indies contributed 10 per cent. of the Itrltih Kupply. the Mediterran ean countries 20 per cent., Brazil S per cent., and India 1 per cent. of the countries that were protnl- nent in the production of commercial cotton in 1790 Brasli and Asiatic Tur key alone retain Importance. The chief cotton area of the world now extends from the Mediterranean sea to the Cape of Good Hope, from Hpain to Japan and Australia, and from Norfolk. Va., In the United Htates. to Buenos Ay res In Mouth America. In spite of the vastness of this area almost the entire commercial crop is grown In the southern portion of the United States, British India and Egypt. In order of relative Importance as named. The high price, for cotton resultant from the American civil war greatly stimulated production In British India and all the other cotton producing countries. The production of 200. 000 bales at tributed to "other countries" In 1907 waschlefly by Greece. Italy, Indo, Africa (other than Kgypt), Hayti, Dutch Kaat Indies. Japan. Corea, West Indies and Argentina. It is worthy (looking to the future) of prominent notationa that the total area of the present cotton producing region of the United Btutes Is estimat ed at 700.000 square miles, or 448, 000,000 acres. Of this only about one acre In fourteen was devoted to cot ton 4n 1907. In other words, the United States from Its present cotton area can produce fourteen times much cotton as It does now. That lead can never be overcome. tVa.hington. July 34. Forecast Wednesday and Thursday: Virginia, showers Wednesday; Thursday fairs fresh- west to northwest winds. North and South Carolina. Georgia.

IIVSSIAX GENKKAIjH in PBJSOX. Dally Routine of Their Life First Meeting of KUwhscI and Xcbogatoff. St. Petersburg Correspondent London GIoImj, The unfortunate Generals Stoessel and NebogatofT are nossr confined in tha fortress of 88. Peter and Paul, to gether with the naval commanders Grlgorieff and Llschin. The general. have each a spacious cell, well light ed, while the other two prisoners have a cell equally large In common. The celln have large windows with Iron bars overlooking the Neva and the Winter Palace. The furniture for each I. a camp bed. & large and a small table, two chairs and a press. The prisoners' outdoor recreation consists of gardening, tinder the di rection of Llschin, who Is no stranger to that art and mystery. According to the rules of the pris on fortress the four .unfortunate war prisoners rise at 8 a. m., take their tea and then proceed to the garden, abutting upon the Neva. At noon they dine togeth er, Ne-bogatoff presiding at the mess. "What the conversation of these men, upon whom fortune has not smiled, t "but whose bravery has never been Impugned, Is can only be imagined. At 6 p. rtl. they sup and ut 9 o'ekvek they take tea. Between times they can read what they like, newspapers, hooks and magazines. It seems that Btoessel and Nebogatoff met for th first tlrrffc In prison. They only knew each tither from photographs. "Ak. that we should meet In such a place," .ald Btoessel to his companion In misfor tune as "adown hi check a tear un bidden stole." Nebogatoff replied: "God above is our Judge.
