The COTTON CROP. The cotton
'speculators, having combined to raise
the price Of cotton, the Southern
planters are in a state Of, ''high jinks."
The speculators design to stimulate
large crop; hence these prices in
advance. They confidently rely upon
the gullibility of our farmers, and
already rejoice that che alluring bait
has been swallowed.' A correspond
ent of the New York Herald thus
writes:
"The recent rise in the price of
cotton has already produced a magi-
cal effect in the South
Yes; and the decline in cotton next
fall, the Augusta Consttutionalist sug-
gests, will produce another effect
more melancholy than magical, we
fear.
SUDDEN DEATH. james Sanders
Guignard, Esq, an old and highly
respected citizen of Columbia, is no
more. Yesterday morning, about
half-past 8 o'clock; his dead body was
found on the "Bluff Road" two
miles below the city, and his mule
grazing a short distance off. Mr..
Guignard was one of the oldest M
tive born male citizens of Columbia
being sixty-four years and five months
old-having been born on the LIST of
October, 1908; and was, we believe,
resident of the city during his
whole life. Mr.. g., for many years,
attended to the offices of Ordinary
and Clerk of the Court, (both of
which were held by his father-the
last officer for life who filed those
positions.) He had also been elected
several terlns Alderman from Ward
No. 1. Mr.. G. leaves o wife, several
children and very large circle of
acquaintalces to mourn his sudden
death. An inquest was held by
Coroner Walker, and n verdict of
"death by visitation from God"
rendered by the jury.
The editor of the Nashville Buune,.
has seen corn cob, shaped like
human forearm, with o perfect hu-
man hand and fingers at the small of
the cob. The thumb and fingers of
the hand ore complete. Even the
veins of the wrist and the finger nails
are visible, and the similitude is so
striking that he could almost imagine
the veins and sinews instinct with
human life. May it not, inquiries the
Banner, be warming hand appraised,
telling us to abandon the culture of
cotton, and give our undivided atten-
ton to corn?

DEAR SIR: / hare long, and with such
ability as l could command, reflected on the
subject of the Declaration Of Independence,
and finally have ccmo TO the sincere con-
clusion that universal suffrage was one OF
the inalionable rights intended to be en-
braced in that instrument by our fathers at
the the time Of tho Declaration, and that
they were prevented from inserting i IN
the Constitution by slavery alone. They
had no intention to abandon it as one OF
the finally enumerated rights, but simply
to postpone it. The Committee on Recon
struction have inserted that provision with
rreat unanimity in the bill admitting the
State Of Alabama in the Union. They
have finally resolved that no State shall be
admitted into the Union unless undcr that
condition. have deemed this notice ne
cessary, that the State now in process OF
construction or reconstruction may be al
