Secession.

Through a long period of our
country's history secession was a
blear-eyed booger which statesmen
conjured up to scare each other
with, until finally the ignis fatuls
materialized and assaulted the gov
eminent. Brave was the struggle,
but the cohorts of the heresy finally
went down in the agony of over
whelmning defeat, and the sword set
tied that which logic and statesman
ship had grappled in vain-forever
and forever settled it, without the
right of appeal-until to day the
opponents of the idea are the men
whose blood was split under its ban
ners. If there is man who yet
clings to the fallacy he is a fool;
and those stalwarts who assert that
secession is rife to day are unmiti
gated slanderers and sap headed Id
lots. The country has forever
passed this danger and has come to
the brink of another slippery abyss.
A few years ago when the n. 7.
Herald raised the cry of CesarIsm
the public smiled at the sensation.
Gradually and surely it has drawn
its Shiny folds along, wreathing its
deadly coil about our institutions,
and secreting venom in its fangs,
until it gathered strength to strike.
aud throwing off its mask the SER
pent is revealed to the world as the
Republican Party. Shame no long
er deters them, but an Unsuitable
greed for stealing and for power
has obliterated the last spark of pc
litical honesty and they come out
to-day boldly by the mouths of
their leaders and through the col
umns of their organs and openly
proclaim that our constitution is a
sham and a nullity, that the Nation
is supreme, that State lines must be
obliterated, that the government
must be centralized and Imperialism
established. This is no canard.
The cry is being handed from mouth
to mouth until the north is rotten
with treason and worse than seces
sion, and their leaders are proclaim

Yellow Fever.

The situation continually gets
worse at Memphis. The fever
breaks over sll barriers and quaran-
tine and spreads gradually and
surely, until it is given up that no.
thing but winter can stay it.
The record in Memphis for the
week ending yesterday evening is as
follows:
Wednesday, 81 new cases, A
deaths; Thursday, 90 rew cases, 6
deaths; Friday, 9 new cases, IL
deaths; Saturday, II new cases, u
deaths; Sunday, 10 new cases, 8
deaths; Monday, "a new cases, s
deaths; Tuesday,..29 new cases, Z
deaths. Total for the week, I6l
new cases, 81 deaths.
The total number of yellow fever
cases in Memphis this year up TO
Monday evening is 702; total
deaths 233.
Memphis is suffering terribly
from thieves and inceudiaries.
Houses are being sacked and others
burned and a general carnival of
crime makes the nights hideous.

MURDER AND MoBs.
The workingmen's Candidate for
Mayor Assassinated in San
Francisco.

Rev. J. s. Kalloch, the Working
mems candidate for Mayor of San
Francisco, was shot and probably
fatally injured by Chas. DeYoung,
editor of the Chronicle, in San
Francisco Saturday morning. De
Young leads the Honorable Bilks, a
political faction, and on the night
before the assassination KallOch re-
taliated upon DeYoung, who had
publicly slandered him and abused
his family back for 80 years, by Civ
ing some of the private history of
DeYoung. Both were exceeding
bitter and vulgar. Next morning
DeYoung drove around to Kal
lcch's lodgings, sent a message
that lady wished to see him, and
as he stepped up to the hack De
Young shot him in the breast and
thigh. The workingmen at once
attacked the carriage, overturned 1t
and bruised DeYoung badly before
the police could rescue him. He
was conveyed under strong guard
to jail, and since the whole police
force and militia have been guard
ing him against the most turbulent
mob ever upon the golden coast.
Ten thousand frenzied men we're
clam oring to lynch him. Kearney
was out of town, but came in at
once by summons, and an immense
meeting was held to which report
ers were not admitted. Kearney
counseled moderation and his word
is law. If Kalloch dies, it is said
that no power can stay the venge
ance of the Infatuated mob, and that
not a hand will be raised to rescue
DeYoung from their hands The
attempted murder was deaJh blow
to the Honorable Bilks and makes
the success of Kearneyism over
whelmingly certain. 1t is con
demned everywhere as a fiend ish,
-blooded assassination. The
city is in a turmoil of excitement

Mere than Two Bales to the Acre.

Aberdeen { Miss Examiner: Sew
eral times during the last four
years we have taken occasion to
call attention to the new process OF
cotton planting so successfully pur-
sued by Mr.. j. j. Crump, Of this
county. The result of this pro-
cess was 1919 pounds of ginned
cotton to the acre il 1877, LOCO
pounds in 1878, and this season the
prospects are good for the heaviest
yield he has ever had. For the
benefit of our readers and ex
changes we will again give Mr..
Crump's formula: He prepares his
land in December by digging holes
three feet from each other, each
eighteen inches square and eighteen
inches deep; these holes he fills
with manure to within four inches
of the top, and the remainder of the
way with the top soil. At the usu
al season he plants with view to
having three stalks to a hill, and
piles the clay from the bottoms of
the pits as deep oyer their tops as
the supply will admit of, with a
view to keeping down the grass,
and then cultivates with hand and
hoe, never allowing a pillow to be
used The preparation is made in
December in order to subdue the
fiery qualities of the fertilizer, and
the holes when prepared will make
at least three crops without chang
ing their contents-the second crop
generally being the best and the
first and third. about the same
This plan has gotten beyond the
sphere of.experiment,. and there is
no longer necessity for a man to
scrape over dozen acres when he |
can obtain more cotton and better
cotton By cpltivating two or three
acres by Mr.. crump's process.

Washington Post: We don't be
lieve in reputation. The best
thing to be done in all cases, where
it is possible, to pay debts at one
hundred cents on the dollar. But
in the history of States and NUM-
cipalities there come times when
bad management, and a series of
disasters, render it impossible to
liquidate all obligations on the
above named basis. The honest
thing for such debtors 10 do is Just
what an honest business man does
in a similar situation-call on the
creditors to compromise. It is bad
all around. 1t Injuries State and
municipal credit, and it doesn't
help the National credit. But
compromise is better than trying to
do the impossible and going from
bad to worse. We NOTICE that some
Northern States that haven't q
clean record in this regard, States
that bit off a good deal more than
they could chew thirty or forty
years ago, and had to get out of
trouble by compromising with their
creditors, appear to have forgotten
all about those events in their his
tory, and we end their newspapers
finging 8 good many ugly epithets
st Southern States that are now in |
the deep waters OF financial attic
ton. It is unkind and uncalled |
for. There is no section that has
nonopolized this compromise bust
ness.

The GreenbaCk Party, as a dan
gerous political element, has about
petered out everywhere except in
Maine. 1t leaked out to the per
feet satisfaction of every sensible
man that the movement was Matched
and fed by republicans for the pur-
pose of drawing strength from the
democracy. Greenback papers were
supported by republicans, and
greenback speakers were paid by
them. In Indiana last year some
10000 voters went off after the
wisp, and $4,000 in Ohio. Not half
of them live to-day. The leaders
have sneaked back to the radical
pest house, and the dupes have
their eyes opened. Last year New
York Greenbackers polled $4,000
scattered about over the State. The
result was the election of en- extra
radical judge, nearly 100 assembly
men and THREE Green HACKERS. All
three of these greepback assembly
men had been radicals. Since then
two of them have returned to their
pap. The municipal elections last
spring showed that greenbackers
have fallen of to less than ten per
cent. With our forces united, we'll
sweep radicalism from the face of
the earth next year. In Maine the
thing is terribly split. 1t is impos-
sible to elect a democrat there or
dinarily, but the RAIDS and green's
are clawing each other so badly that
an honest democrat may get in.
