Never in the history of the town have the collections been as good as they have r>een this year. Our cotton buyers have beenglv-i ins tbe highest possible prices lor tbe staple. The good weather, tbe beautiful samples, and tbe high prices have all conspired to rush the crop to miirket. The farmers, having contracted only small debts In the spring, have ; beeu enabled In some Instances to sett e their j bills in full out of the flrstor second load ol cotton. Hundreds of farmers now have clean i bills at tbe stores and the bauks. with plenty of ready cash to Invest as necessity or incli-j nation may direct. Some have acted wisely i aud made liberal payments on their inort- j gages. Others have not sold all their crop, or j else have the money in their pockets or on i deDoslt in the banks.

CORONER'S INQUEST | OVER THE DEAD BODY OF J. J. MOSLEM ' A Story of I In* I.iqiior Trallic?Til ] Killing of tlie Suite's Officer?I?t tectives l'luee tlie Crime. | Yesterday Tom Peterson, Venner Kay, At I drew Palmer and Heury Jackson were lodge lu jail at Abbeville. The evidence before the Coroner's Jur; places the crime at the door of Tom Peterson Tile whole trend of the story goes to dispos 1 the theory of a conspiracy. The report of Verner Itay's testimony, tc gether with that of ?. ?. Xewbold and K. E B. Wilson, fixes the guilt beyond the shadov of doubt. Veuner Ray yesterday soul for the Sher 11 and the Solicitor, saying that he desired ti i make a confession to them. This create* 1 somewhat of a sensation for a lime. The So ; licilor decliued logo because of Ihe adviceo his Honor Judge Benet, who suggested lha the Sheriff take one or two witnesses with him, and warn the prisoner of the conse quences. Veuner Ilay then made a statement, whict emoraced nearly all of his t. Rtitnony belor< the Coroner's jury, telling nothlne now or es senti.illy dlfl'erent from the sworn testimony For a time we thought that a regular mine o valuable information had been opened, but ? little investigation proved ttiat we already baa the facts of his statement" or -'conies sion" in his sworn testimony, which is giver below. Taken as a whole the testimony makes ac interesting story of the violation of the liquoi law, and the lawlessness ol the negroes or that section of the country. The negroes about Green wood have the reputation of be ing the most lawless, impertiment and In suiting of their race. Several instances arf reported where they wantonly and malicious ly attacked white people. Whatever blame or odium may attach foi tills unprovoked murder, we are pleased tc say ihi.t none of it rests upon the good peo p'e 01 Greenwood.
