B; Ivcy & Co; " Opposite St. Cloud Hotel.' COTTON GOES DOWN. Government Report Causes a Sharp De- dine in the Market Big Crop Esti mated by the Government. Washington, Dec. 3. The total ' number of bales of cotton for the year 1904-5 is by the government report placed at 12,162,000. Round bales have been included in this estimate and reduced to their equivalent in square bales. Estimate does not include I inters. An Istimate of the production by states will be made public December 5th. There was a scramble when the Government estimate on the cotton crop was given out this morning, placing the bales for the year at more than twelve million, or 12,162,000. The quotations began to go down and the .market responded to the enormous figures as given out, the price going 40 or 50 points down in short order. January opened at 8 50 and closed about 8. All months showed a simi lar decline The local buyers started the day by paying 8 50, but dropped a quarter after the report was given out. This report has been watched for some days and has had the expected effect, though greater than was antici pated. The crop estimated is consid ered too high, though there is evidently a big crop. If this estimate were- a million bales too high there would be large crop. Girl Wouldn't Marry Him and he Shot Himself. New York Dec. 3.

YOUNG GIRL KILLED. Daughter of Sandy Miller, Colored, Found Dead This Mornlog With Her Head Split Open With an Axe Details not Known. "4 The story of the finding of a young colored girl, the daughter of Sandy Miller, dead in the woods this morn ing was brought to town today by a negro who lives in the neighborhood. Sandy Miller lives on the farm of Mr. John A. Cline in No. 6 township, and was on the way to town with a load of cotton seed when some one from the neighborhood overtook him and told him that his daughter, about 20 years of age, had been found near his home dead with her head split open. It seems that the girl was away from home at the house of a neighbor last night or early this morning. The body was found by the children of .Mr. J. A. Measmore, who lives very near. The head had been cut open appa rently with an axe. This afternoon Coroner Lentz and Deputy Robinson went to the scene of the murder, but did not return until a late hour. A story has it that the last time the girl was seen alive she was with a man. Another rnmor had it that she had a sweetheart and that they had had trouble. The true story of the affair is not known this afternoon. Sandy Miller has been living on the farm of Mr. Cline for several years. He is a splendid negro and has a nice, well-behaved family. The dead girl had a splendid reputation. MEMORIAL SERVICES. Concord Elks Will Hold the Usual Memorial Service Tomorrow at 4 O'clock at the Opera House.
