Search Up Your Cotton Tax Records.
All our people, the cotton planters es-
pecially, remember the memorable three
years of tho unheard-of cottoR tax.
There seems to he but little doubt now
that bill will pass Congress before long,
to refund all this money, amounting in
the whole to scventy-tivc millions-now
lying in the Treasury of the United
States. The bill most 1ikcly.to pass Gn-
troIuced by Representative Mcintyre,
of Georgia), provides chat the quota due
each State shall be lodged with the Gov
ernor of said State, and by him distribu-
ted among the claimants. The quota of
South Carolina will be 81, liz, 1901
Therefore it would be wise for our
people to begin to think of their claims
and get them in tangible shape. 1t seems
to us that there must necessarily be con.
siderable confusion and uncertainty i'll
the matter, but the books and atlidayits
of factors might perhaps bring all right.
Four millions and u half ofdollars would
be a God-send to South Corolina just
now.
And when this cotton tax is refunded,
the Government ought to begin to think
seriously of paying US for our negroes.
The negroes were just rs much our prop
o,.t,, as the cotton. Nor was it our fault
that we were in possession of them.

The Louisiana Committee Address the
People.


The committee of citizens from Louis
lana who went on to Washington lately,
to ask at the hands of the Government a
calm and impartial examination OF the
recent extraordinary events within their
borders, and who were coldly refused a
hearing by the President, have issued
from Washington, lengthy address to
the people of the whole country. This
address is bold and sterling paper,
representing in the strongest and clear
est manner the unsettled and distracted
condition of Louisiana, and still de-
manding to be heard by the President,
the Administration, and the people, be-
fore the subversion of their State Gov
ernment by Federal intervention is COM
plete and irrem ediable.. And thepeople
will read this address and be struck with
its force and truth. Louisiana is at pres
ent politically convulsed and CONNER
cially paralyzed. Commercial men at
the North are beginning to lose money
by Mr.. Grants little partisan whims.
And this is one thing they will not
stand. Grants pet, the acting Governor
of Louisiana, young mulatto named
Pinchback, may be very useful and
interesting fellow to his master, but the
powerful business men of the North will
not be apt to see it in this light. Presi;-
dent Grant should cease to set aside the
majority votes of Southern States when
the result does not please him. Did the
people of Louisiana choose McEnery as
Governor, or did they choose Kellogg?
Whomsoeve er they chose shouldb be allow
ed peaceably to qualify and take the Elk
ecutive chair.

The golden sun upon her halE

EXPOSURE To THE AIR.-The impOr-
lance of attending to the habitual ex-
posure of children to the air is not duly
estimated. At no period of life does
any cause produce such permanent i'll
effects as in the feeble and susceptible
age of children. The bad effects of want
of pure air and exercise are seen in chill
dren confined to manufactures, and in
those inhabiting a dense and badly ven
tilated part of a large city. Contrast
these with children of the country and
we shall see q wonderful difierence.
