A Bride and II Corpse within Three
Hours,

We have never had a more painful
duty to fulfil than that which we per-
form to-day in chronicling the death of
Mrs. Walpole, wife of our esteemed
friend and confrere, Mr.. James NJ. Wal
pole. The simple notice which appears
in another part of this paper, announcing
the marriage of Mr.. Walpole to Miss
Monnie NJ. Pritchard, of this city, at
half past five O'Clock, and the death of
the bride at half past eight the same
evening, will tell the sad story. and
awaken the sorrowing sympathy OF many
who are strangers to both. The engage
ment had been announced some months
since and the wedding day had been
fixed for the 10Th of the present month.
But few days ago, the future of these
two seemed bright with the promises of
happy welded life, and their friends
looked forward with pleasure to the
event which was TO celebrate the union
of two hearts already united in the most
loyal and devoted affection. But an
overruling Providence, whose DEGREES
man may not fathom nor question, had
willed otherwise. Wednesday night the
deceased was attacked by sudden illness,
and its fatal course developed 10 rapidly
that yesterday the attending physicians
pronounced the case beyond the reach of
human skill. The marriage ceremony
was solemnized in the death chamber,
while the hue of life faded from the fair
face of her whose earthly existence had
seemed but few short hours before 80
full of joy and hope, and in barely three
hours aiterward death had claimed the
bride at the hands of the griei-stricken
husband Orleans Piodytne.

The Coming Cotton Crop.

The committee on information and
statistics for the Savannah (Ga.) cotton
exchange make the following reports for
the month of May:
Georgis.--One hundred and ninety re-
plies, from sixty-four counties, show the
increased area in land planted to be two
and half per cent. The weather has
been generally more favorable than last
year. There was too much rain in the
early spring the nights have been too
ceol, and latterly the weather has been
teo dry. The stands are good, but the
crop is two weeks later than last year.
Labor is abeut the same in number, but
improved in efficiency. Complaints OF
want of rain are very general.
Florida.-Forty replies from sixteen
counties state that there has been but q
slight increase in the area Of land planted
in cotton. The weather has been less
favorable than last year, the nights being
too cool. The stands are generally COED
The crop is two weeks later than that O
last season. Labor is decidedly bette'
than heretofore. But little guano hal
ever been used in this state. The plan,
is very small, but has been well culti
vated There are complaints from some
sections of cutworms and lice.
South Carolina The Charleston ex
change report, covering twenty-sever
counties in this state, says the area In
cotton planted has decreased three pei
cent. Weather unfavorable; stand in
most cases bad, and ten to twenty days
later than last year. Fields clean, but
plant small and backward, and, from
want of rain and cool nights, max
ing slow growth. Labor abundant and
efficient. Use of fertilizers decreased five
and one-half per cent.

consumed in France was l.8 pounds per
head OF the population. After that it
increased slowly, and between 1918 and
ls4s il never fell below 1872 pounds per

these being the extreme limits. In lS49,
owing TO reduction of the duty, the
average amount consumed rose to 20.6

&C. The war cloud hanging
over Turkey and Rassia has not
blown over but is as dark and
lowering as ever. Russia has in
duced the great powers to sign an
agreement, but Turkey refused
to ratify it. If war comes, the re.
sponsibility for it will therefore
les upon Turkey. The Russians
appear eager for war, but if it
should come they may very coon
be quite as anxious for peace.
fortunately it is a quarrel in
which the United States will have
no part, except to furnish supplies
at high prices TO both the COM
batants.

The Republican press is very

the South Carolinians will 90 TO
eating the poor African raw,
when Wade Hampton takes full
possession Of the State Govern
ment. They are alarmed for the
poor negro, not so much because
he is poor negro, but because he
has been voting the Republican
ticket; and they fear that under
the benign influences of a stable
and peaceful Government, such
as Wade Hampton will give 10
South Carolina, the negroes may
be induced to join the Demo-
cratic party in such numbers as
to leave nothing Of the Repub-
lican party in that State, but
putrid reminiscence. The bur-
den of the arguments Of such
men as Chamberlain, Patterson
and Phosphate Corbin TO Hayes
for the last two weeks has been:
of you recognize Hampton you
will wipe out tho Republican
party in South Carolina" None
Of them have charged that Hamp-
ton would notrepresenta govern
ment that would guarantee pro-
lection to all classes and colors.
The lamentable feature Of Cham
berlain's government has been
his utter inability 10 protect any
interest or any person. The aim
of such men as Corbin, before the
election, was to foment riot and
disorder, so as 10 necessitate the
presence of troops. Judge Cook
stated this before a Congress-
ional Committee. 1t is n sig
nificant fact that there have
been no riots or outbreaks since
the Inauguration of Hampton.
Hamburg, Ellenton, and kim
dred bloody outbreaks were the
fruits Of a carpet-bag Govern
ment in the last stages of des-
peration. 1t is more than prob
able that the negroes, when re-
leased from the baneful infuen-
ces of carpet-baggers and the
curse of secret Societies which |
bound them by oath to vote the
Republican ticket, may conclude
that the Democrats are not such
blood-thirsty monsters after all.
