The town last night was alive

Mr. Jno. T. Sutton, of La

road last evening.
Bice Mill Trust.
The Charleston News and Courier says
the matter of a rice mill trust is now
being considered by rice mill owners,
and it could hardly be expected that
they would say anything about it just
now. "Anyway a prominent rice mer
chant said that the trust was not among
the impossibilities and could be looked
for. Whether it will include all the
mills is not known. There are in the
South at present about twenty-six rice
mills. Of these sixteen are in New Or
leans.three in Savannah .three in Charles
ton, one each in Wilmington, Goldsboro,
and Washington, N. C. A number of
the mills in New Orleans, it is under
stood, are now controlled by a syndi
cate. It is probably this same corpora
tion, which wishes to extend its hold
ings."
Cotton in the Fields.
From all accounts there must be
a great deal of unpicked cotton in
the country. A .correspondent of a
commission house in this city, writing
from Marion county, S. C, says he has
one hundred acres that have not yet
been, touched by the pickers, and the
Charlotte News, speaking of the situa
tion in that part of North Carolina, says
some fields are so white with the staple
that they look like they were covered
with snow. It is something unusual to
see so many white fields this late in the
season, but there are several causes for
it, the scarcity of labor and the difficulty
of hiring pickers being the chief cause.
Cotton Belt Bulletin.

day was confined to the Galveston,
