Don't Sell Now Says W. P. Brown.
New Orleans, Dec. 5.--W. P. Brown,
the great cotton king, has issued an
address over his signature to the plant
ers, merchants and bankers of the
South, in which he urges that tboBU
having cotton refuse to sell at prices
at present, maintaining that the recent
decline in price is unwarranted. He
contends that'the balance of this year's
crop should bring not less than 10 cents
at the ports and says that the only way
to bring this price is for the farmers to
hold, the merchants not to force what
they have ou the markets, and for thu
banks to stand by the merchants
and planters and not force them to
sell.
He admits for the sake of argument
that the crop ia 12,000,000, yet he does
not believe'the crop will be that
large, and 'argues that consumption
will bu at luast 11,500,000, (paving a
small quantity to? go into tho mill
reserves. Ho urges all who are inter
ested in tho South and the South's
prospeiityto Btand pat and refuse to
give away cotton at prices now pre
vailing.
The Slave Pension Fraud.
Columbia, December 8.-It is evident
from letters received by several negroes
in this city that another effort is being
made by some sharper in the North to
swindle them out of some money in
the hope of securing a pension. These
frauds, which are as old as the war
itself, are not only being worked here
in civil war cases, but there are also
efforts being made to catch the ne
groes on the Spanish war fake. It will
bo remembered that a number of ne
groes from Columbia enlisted, and a
much larger number were turned down
at the enlistingollice for failure to pass
Ihe examination. Letters are being
received from someoue, not only by 1
those who were turned down, but also
by those who never even applied,
tun ting that money can be obtaiued
from the government for them by an ,
igencv in washington. '
Assistant District Attorney Melton
is now on the look out for some cases
>f this character and if any evidence is ?
>btained there will be some prompt
arrests.
"We had a case of pension fraud in
Greenville.at the last term of Court/'
tie said. "A sharper .had represented
to a number of negroes that the gov
ernment intended' sending a train load
if provisions to former slaves and vet
erans of the Spanish war in the South,
fie also hinted that a share of these
provisions could be obtained by those
?vii o were neither veterans nor slaves, if
everything were left to him. All he
required was the money to nay the
Creight and be got enough of that to
ihip a train clear across the continent.
(Ve sent him up for eighteen months.
"I would be very glad to secare
lome farther evidence" in these new
rrauds that are cropping up, and if
there is much of it I will probably
have some arrests to make."-Special
:o News and Courier. "
