Jane," that drifted over this way from
Raleigh, with Messrs. Cunningham
and Doran aboard, was pounded all to
pieces by the Giants to the tune of
nine to five, and worst of it all, Capt.
Spratt and his crew didn't seem to
care the least bit about it, one way or

Daly fanned and Spratt flew out to

they had played as they did Monday

No, it was not a pitcher's game;

NICHOLAS POLITZ.
His Sentence for Counterfeiting
Commuted Yesterday by
President McKinley. .
EXPIRES NEXT THURSDAY.
Then He Will Have to Pay a Fine of $500
or Remain in Prison Longer The
Original Sentence Was Six
Years AQlashville, Tenn.
Nicholas Politz, the Greek, who was
convicted and sentenced to six years
at hard labor in the penitentiary and
to pay a fine of $500 for count feiei ting,
at the June term of the Federal Court
at Wilmington in -1899, will be a free
man after next . Thursday, President
McKinley having yesterday commuted
his sentence, to expire as indicated
above.
It is presumed that he has sufficient
funds to meet the fine as imposed, but
if not, there is a question as to whether
or not he can take the insolvent oath
before remaining in prison for a stipu
lated length of time after the expira
tion of his term.
The particulars of Politz's offense
and the sensational trial which follow
ed, are well known to Stab readers
and a repetition here is unnecessary.
It is believed that tbe President's ac
tion in commuting the sentence was
based largely upon a very strong peti
tion for executive clemency circulated
and forwarded by Mrs. Politz a few
months ago.
The following Associated Press
telegram was received by the Stab
last night:
"Washington, June 6. The Pres-.
ident to-day commuted the sentence
of Nicholis Politz, who was convict
ed in 1899 in North Carolina of coun
terfeiting and sentenced to serve a
term of six years in prison. His sen
tence is commuted to expire June 13th,
at which time he will have served
two years."
Since the removal of tbe United
States' prison from Raleigh about a
year ago, Politz has been confined at
Nashville, Tenn.
ESTIMATE OF THE COTTON ACREAQE.
Messrs. Latham, Alexander & Co., Make
a Statement for the United States.
With the view of Obtaining the
most reliable information possible
concerning the cotton acreage of the
United States for 1901, Messrs Latham,
Alexander & Co., bankers and cotton
commission merchants, New York,
addressed 4,600 letters to banks, bank
ers, cotton commission merchants and
responsible planters, embracing every
cotton growing county, in the South,
asking acreage estimates.
Up to June 3rd tjiey had secured
2,155 replies, of average date May 24th,
and have made a statement which, in
their opinion, is as approximately cor
rect an estimate of the cotton acreage
as could be secured by direct commu
nication with parties competent to
judge, residing in the Southern Slates.
Their view of tbe situation is ex
pressed as follows:
"The total estimated increase of
cotton acreage in the United States for
1901 is 9.08 per cent, or 2,161,957 acres
more than last year, and the average
planting of the croplis about seventeen
days later than last year.
"From all the States our correspon
