A Frleurt lu Meed la a l-'rlciid tu Deed BoutUeru Fanners Will Appreciate Tills Help Uljc Non ey to Move tne cottou. New York, Aug. 12 Dradstrccts sayR today: "Special telegrams to IJrad slrceti and iuformation received through the trade and press witUin n few days have indicated, the likelihood of a crisis in the cotton regions owing to the in ability of banking institutions there to advance the funds necessary to move the cotton crop with anything like the usual freedom. It had become plain that few, if any, of the Southern bunks would, if they could, advance the fluids to cotton buyers, to enable the latter to hold the staple (or an advance in price, and recent isturbauccs among the Southern finan il institutions began to raise the ques tion how the cotton crop was to be moved at all. "Inasmuch as it costs $8 50 j)er bale lor pit-king, ginning, pressing and baling cotton, about $50,000,000 forgathering and preparing for shipment a crop of 0,000,000 bales, it becomes plain that the phrase "advancing funds to move the cotton crop" has a realizing tncan- A considerable propoition ot t tie cot- Ion crop is raised by tenant planters, and the owners of the land, as a rule, arc expected to make the necessary ad duces to the tenants to provide tor tue picking, ginning, pressing and baling cottou. But with the boutlicrn banks using clcarinp; house certificates and, in many instances, permitting depositors to withdraw onlv trivial sums of money daily, the problem how to borrow $50, 000,000 to move the cotton crop has be come a serious one. It is with considerable pleasure, there fore, that Hradstrcets learns that an ar rangement was made yesterday by the Secretary of the Treasury, in view of the emergency referred to, by which the gov ernment, on deposit of currency with the sub-treasury at New York, will, on being advised of that inct, telegraph the sub treasury at NewUrleans an order to pay like sum ot money in silver dollars. This arrangement must go far to relieve the financial stringency at the South with respect to the cotton crop." IM.ICNTV UK CHULICRA. Tbc Knrninaiila Ilrouitlit Over n snip Load. oi-AKANTiNii, S.

A to Hauler Killed la swaunsiioa Township. T. W. Gragg, who lives on lice Tree reck, Swunnanoa township, brought the prize snake story ol the season to Tun Citizkn todav. He says that on last Tuesday Lafayette Cicasman, who lives on the Bingham farm, Swan- nnnoa townslnp. Killed a raiticsnaKC tlint had crawled up to his door and laid its head on the stoop. The snake proved to be the largest ever seen in that section. It measured nearly five feet in length and was very arce in girth, it had 18 or 20 rattles. Mr. Gragg says: "It surely must hav been the grandfather or grandmother all the snakes in the Craggies." ol Mr. Grngg lives almost in the shadow ofltald Knob mountain which regularly in each recurring September sends up columns of smoke, and which has at tracted a great deal of at tendon. lie it was who first noticed this peculiarity of the mountain. NO MORE VELLOW FKVER, Little Apparent Reason for the Peusacola Scare. Washington, Aug. 12. Surgeon Gen eral Wyraan this morning received the following dispatch from Assistant Sur geon Mngrudcr of the marine hospital service, stationed at Peusacola, Florida, touching the yellow fever outbreak there: "No new or suspicious cases have ap peared since the two deaths already reported. Thcexcitcmcnt is rapidly sub siding. House to houfe inspection be cun todav by the order of the State health officer, to be completed bundav. A proclamation was also issued by the same o Hirer, stating no cause for uudue alarm seems to exist at present. FKOa THE POPE. He Approvfs) of International Eefflslallou for Workers, Rome, Aug. 12. The Pope has written a letter to M. DcCurtins, cliici of the Swiss Catholics and organizer of the International Catholic Workingnicn's Congress, stating that bis holiness ap proves of legislation to protect working women and children. 1 ne letter is de signed to be a nrcnnratorv stco toward the holding of an International Work- ingmen s Congress. What Will Cudabv Pax T Chicago, Aug. 12. John Cudahy and N. K. Fail bank, the big principals in the collapsed lard deal, have been prodded into quickening their arrangements for a settlement. They bare learned that their Board of Trade creditors are getting restive, and it is understood thatastate- ment, accompanied by a proposition for settlement will be made in a day or two. THIS SOUTH MI ST WIN. A Norlheruer Compares Houlhern Hurl Morllieru Mill Hands, W.G. Maxwell, a member of the United Industrial company, which is desirous of establishing a knitting mill near Asbe villc, in a letter from Ashcville under date July 2-t, to the Amsterdam, N. Y., Democrat, says: "Cotton in the stale is a cent a pound less than in New York, and labor is 00 per cent. less. And I can say of my own knowledge that this labor for cotton mill work is fully as good as in the North. In fact the employers here do not want Northern help for the reason that they are too discontented. It must be remembered, however, that in this even climate the expense of living is not so great as in the North, so that Southern wages mean more than one-bait ol those in the North. The balance is accounted for in the fact that labor is coutcnted with lit tle here. These people have been poor so long that they are happy to cluster in shanties around their great benefac tor the cotton mill and take what she gives them. But it is a life that no selt rcllecting Northern workman would en dure for a minute. However, this does does not affect the economic advantages of cheap labor, and prominent men here arc talking of erecting lactones in which colored help alone will be employed at even a much lower rate, for the colored people are not allowed to work in facto ries with white labor and they arc anx ious to work for the merest pittance. fiow nil this indicates to my mind that the South is going to do the cotton man ufacturing for this country and for the world that wherever cotton is used ex clusively the South must win." IN THE MARKET, Tlie Effect of Makluic a New En trance. A visit to the market house since tbc opening of the new department on the north side is a revelation of tbc capaci ties of this section for the production of vegetables and fruits. For it must be remembered that in this department nothing so gross as meats is admitted; even poultry, with its more refined ap peals to the delicate appetite, takes its place deferentially outside the doors; and there is nothing to mar the impression made on the senses by the profusion of riie and luscious glowingly tinted fruits, and tbc heaps of the varied stock of veg etables, fresh from the soil, meeting the ideals ot a well worked, proline garden, and proving what a rich and perfect re turn rewards a southern sun, a moun tain air, and a skillful gardener. No where is there found a profuser or more beautiful display of the products of the garden, nothing more tempting than the riches of the orchard. The new eutrance from cast Court Place is convenient and appropriate to a department so peculiarly delicate in the articles for which it is used; for, essential as meats are to the perfection of a good meal, the incongruity of carcasses side by side with the fragrant richly colored fruits of the orchard and the garden, cannot tail to shock some tastes. The new fruit and vegetable stalls arc already occupied, and are already popu lar. Among their occupants Tub Citizen notes, Messrs. Pope, h. S. Lynch, 1 ugn. Fitzpntrick, Shclton, Land, Hunt and others, and their daily fresh displays of fruits and vegetables will be a continuous attraction to thrifty housekeepers. ISO It MA I.

Prof. L P, Mangiim, superintendent in charge of the normal dcparinent of the Cullowhce high school, sends Tin-: Citi zkn the following: "Tbc normal department of the Cul low lice high school, Jackson county, will open on August 21. lhccouutv super intendents of the western part of the State are urged to send the representa tives from their respective counties as sooh as possible. The course of study has been arranged to suit both those who are teachers and tlioje who desire to prepare themselves for teaching.

I-'OH A XV. 7 C. FAIR. The Meetluic To lie Here Jiex Saturday A meeting that means much tor Abbe ville and the whole of Western North Caroliua is the one to be held here next Saturday, August 10, for the purpose ol bringing together the men who are alive to the interests of this section ami to take the first steps in the organization of a Western North Carolina Fair associa tion. Concerted action is what is neces sary to get up a fair that will attract the attention of the country and result in the greatest good to the eutirc moun tain section. The meeting next Satur day will be open to everybody interested and there should be a large attendance. Just a Cartridge. It was uc thing but a little cartridge, but it was loaded, and it lay in the street on North Main in front of the Buck hotel yesterday afternoon. Pres ently a buggy came along, the wheel struck the cartridge and it (the cart ridge) exploded. The buggy kept right on; but there was a hustling amongjthc shopkeepers who do business in that vicinity and who evidently thought the Siamese-franco war had broKcn out in a new rpot. A big crowd gathered and spent a time inquiring into the matter, aided by the police, but no conclusion was arrived nt as to where the cause ot the excitement came from or wbetc it went. Clerk Williams Hurl. Yesterday afternoon about 7 o'clock Clerk R. V. Williams, of Collector Elias' force, was riding bis horse down I'atton avenue at a lively gait. When he reached South Water street he turned the animal down that street, but it slipcd and fell, throwing the rider heavily to the ground. Mr. Williams' leg and shoulder were very painfully bruised by the fall. He was taken to his boarding house, Mr. Kea gan's, on Patton avenue, and his bruises wot dressed. This morning he was resting; very well, bat be will probably be kept from work for several days. SILVER DEBATE RESUMED IIKARTV KEPUBUCAN AI FHOVAI, OF THIS MEbsAUI-:. Trvluii Hard To tiet I'p a Tar til Scare Aica'iiMt x lie Democratic Partv-Marler Ucrp m iliuor Lore. Washington, Aug. 12. Before a small audience of both members and spectators--tbc silver debate was resumed today and Mr. Wheeler of Alabama continued his speecb. Mr. Morse, Massachusetts, fol lowed Wheeler, lie gave his hearty ap proval to the views of the President relative to the repeal ut the purchasing clause of the Sherman bill, but believed that the present business depression was not attributable entirely to the Sherman bill; it came from the threat of the Dem ocrats to pass tariff legislation. Mr. Hartcr, Democrat, Ohio, iu speak ing in favor of the repeal proposition, likened Uncle Sam to a man in the last stages of alcoholism. The drunken man taken to the emergency hospital would receive treatment by the doctors who would agree upon their treatment, but Uncle ham s doctors did not seem to agree in their diagnosis. IIUl HI-: MOVED FIRST. And The slow Motioned (tcuate Will Follow Eater. Washington, Aug. 12. The Senate Democratic caucus committee has ad- ourned over until Monday when they will meet again and attempt to come to gether on sonic common ground. Owing to the agreement reached in the House the committee feels relieved and sees no reason for presenting acti6n on its part. The fact that the House will devote two weeks to discussion of the silver question removes the necessity that existed to for mulate a plan immediately, and the probability is that the caucus of Demo cratic senators will not act finally upon a policy to be outlined by its committee until towards the close of the debate in the bouse. For the same reason, it is said, the finance committee may take more time in the deliberation of the va rious measures referred to it and not make a report as eirly as has been anticipated. POSTAL. FRAVUS. Capt c. II. Isarrett lu Jail lu Ilt- fault of nail. Washington, Aug. 12. Captain C has. II. Barrett, who is under arrest at Spar tanburg, S. C, for alleged complicity in postal frauds, was given a preliminary hearing yesterday before the United States commissioner and committed to jail in default of $0,000 bond pending the action ol the grand jury. Uarrett was arrested on three charges: defrauding the government of its reve nues, using mails to defraud, conspiracy to defraud. He was at first held iu the sum of $1,500 on each count, but at the preliminary hearing his bond was in creased. The case is one of great interest to the department because of the adroit ness of the swindlers and the years of labor which the department has expended in their detection and capture. CLOSED IsOOKH.

Presi dent Cleveland arrived here this morning on the train connecting with the Fall River boat. He was accompanied by Dr. Bryant. The President was met at the station and conveyed in his carriage to Gray Gables. He appeared to be somewhat tired. The President will re main until about September 1, or until Mrs. Cleveland is ready to return to Washington 6.47a Pensions Suspended to Date. Washington, Aug. 12. I'p to date there have been G,472 pensions suspended which were granted under the act of June 27, 1890. A large proportion of these cases, it is said, were suspended pending medical examination. Only about one-third, however, have as yet made any response to the notice of the fact that additional evidence as to their inability to pcrlorm manual labor was required. Increasing- Its Circulation. Komb, N. Y., Aug. 12. The Farmers' National bank of this city has taken steps, through the purchase of Govern ment bonds, to increase its currency cir culation $50,000 in 10 days and $20, OOO additional in 20 days. This, it is believed, will somewhat relieve the strin gency of the money market in this vicinity.
