III higher wages to operatives. so that
the production of manufactures will
be more expensive and higher prices
will prevail all around, This state of
things is not favorable for extending
cur foreign exports of such articles of
manufacture as come in competition
with those of other nations. The
transportation business, in which
there is more capital invested than in
any other industry of the country out
side of agriculture, will be less fully
employed, to the detriment of divi-
dends.
The country, however, is in such a
good condition, that it may be able to
stand one year of reduced crops with
ott its effect becoming very apparent
upon general business, especially as
their is surplus of the old crops of
almost everything that is not perish
able yet on hand. We are likely to
have good business this coming au-
tumn, and probably for year to come
for although the crops are compare
lively light, there is good surplus
over what is required for domestic
consumption Of nearly all articles of
dome tic produce which we export
and probably as large surplus as
the foreign markets will require when
they have to take supplies at an in
creased cost. n y Economist.

Laws Against Carrying Com
cealed Weapons.

We give below the law in force in
Texas against carrying concealed
weapons. 1t is useless to say the law
is not enforced is in fact dead letter.
Similar laws are in force in other
States. Stringent laws are to be
found on the statute books of Missis-
sippi. None of them are executed.
and besides no attempt is ever made
by officers to execute them. They are
openly, fagrantly violated everywhere
every day in the year. If the State
cannot enforce such laws it is best to
do away with them. The Texas law
is as follows:
Any person except one in service as
militiaman, peace officer or police
man, or persons summoned to his aid,
a traveller or one who has reasonable
grounds for fearing an unlawful as
sault, found carrying any weapon of
offense or defense, such as pistol,
bowie knife, slungshot, ETC., about his
person or saddle, or saddlebags, shall
be fined not less than twenty five nor
more than hundred dollars, and for
felt the weapon to the county.
Moreover, any person carrying these
weapons to a church, school room,
circus, public show of any kind, ball
room, social gathering election pre-
cinct, or any other public assembly,
shall be fined not less than fifty nor
more than five hundred dollars Any
peace officer who shall fail or refuse
to arrest such offender. on knowledge
or upon information, shall be fined not
exceeding five hundred dollars.

The Attempt to Kill Guiteau.

Washington, Sept. 12-Sergeant
Mason, of Battery B, Second Artil
lery, when relieving the guard at the
Jail here this evening, shot at Guiteau
through the window Of his cell and
came near killing him. The ball
grazed his head and was imbedded in
the cell wall Mason was promptly
arrested and taken to the arsenal and
incarcerated
II addition to this a dispatch of
of the same date contains the follow
ing:
Sergeant Mason, it is said by the
officers of the battery, is the best shot
in the company. lie says that he
had observed that every evening when
the guard arrived Guiteau took the
same position at the cell window.
For weeks Mason noticed this, and
he made up his mind that a bullet
aimed at that spot any evening just
after the guard arrived would hit
Guiteau. From one view he could
see Guiteau from window opening
in line with Guiteau's cell window,
but be could not fire direct shot
from that position, and had to go
round the yard to get position IN
another place in order to command a
range of Guiteau's cell window. Ma
son did not stop at his usual place of
observation to see If Guiteau was at
the window, but as he had never fail
ed to be there when the guard arriv-
ed, Mason took it for granted that the
prisoner was at the Window, so he
hurried on to the point, where he
could get a range of the window, and
fred without attempting to make ii
certain that Guiteau was in range.
The reason for believing that Gui-
teau tells falsehood in saying that
he was at the window, is that from
where the shot was fired, he must
have been hit as he stood there. Gui-
teau has been removed to another
cell, and its location in jail is kept q
profound secret, neither the military
uOi JITS OlllCtIS ottSl bAdil OIiOSO wiz
are on duty in that particular portion
OF the building knowing exactly
where it is. At about noon o-day,
Guiteau took up his abode in his new
quarters. There will be no court
marshal in the case Of Sergeant Ma.
son. His ofense is ore against mill,
t8ry. not civil, law. 1t Is now moi
thought at the War Department thai
there will be any trial at all. The
opinion Is that Mason was not in his
right mind when he did the firing is g
prevalent one among the officials o.
the War Department. The civil
authorities may move in the matter
and prosecute Mason, but it is no
thought that they will. The Distric
Attorney has not taken any action
and says he has had no official notiti
cation Of the shooting.

Immigration to the south

AS a beginning to induce immi
grafton to Kentucky and Tennessee,
Consol Emil Lindburg, of New
York, native of Stockholm, Swe-
den, who has long been engaged in
locating his scandinavian country
men in the States and Territories Of
the Northwest, is now canVassing
portions of Kentucky and Tennessee
with the view Of arranging for the
settlement Of many OF his people.
He is the general manager of the
European Colonization Agency and
Bureau of Southern Immigration
of New York. f1e has appointed
as general agents for the Southern
States Messrs, Calls & Hayes, of
Iopkirsville, Ky. This movement
is indolsed strongly by Hon. John
r Proctor, director of the Kentucky
Geological Survey and Bureau of
Immigration, and by the Hon. 4
W. Hawkins, Commissioners of Ag-
riculture of the State of Tennessee.
This agency only proposes to
bring immigrants able to purchase
lands but there is no doubt that farm
hands and house servants for hire
will follow, and in such nhmbets as
to supply the demand.
A circular has just been issued BY
L;ndhurg, in New York, showing
the advantages of the South over
the North as home for emigrants.
These are, that the best land has al
ready been taken up by the emf
grants, that we do not suffer from
! drontt, cyclones and grasshoppers
like the Western States, that the
winters North are too long and cold,
and the summers too short, hot and
dry, rendering all crops uncertain
Fhe Circular then goes on to show
the fertility of lands in the South,
the cheap rates at which they can
be purchased and their greater near
ness to markets than farms in the
Northwest, where most of the inn
migrants are going.

Worthy Master T. J. Smith, of
the Georgia Stat, Grange, has pur-
chased an orange farm in Florida
He will in future devote most of his
time and attention to his interests in
the latter State, which will compel
him to withdraw from the position
of Master of the Georgia State
Grange-a position which he has so
long and so ably occupied. We
deeply regret that the Order in
Georgia will lose the valuable ser
vices OF this patriot farmer, who has
devoted the greater part of his event
ful life to the service of his class.
Wherever he goes he will carry
with him the best wishes of the
members of the Order not only of
his native State but of the entire
country.

have endorsed the statement of Mr.
lnman, of Atlanta, that ''there are
more people coming South in the
autumn TO see the South than to see
the show at Atlanta" Several
months ago the Nashville Ame.ic lean
called attention. 20 a fact derived
from Northern papers, that the
whole East seemed determined to
visit the Cotton Exposition in order
to see and learn something Of the
South and its people, lis industries
and capacities. -..

The friends of THE PATRON are
beginning to show a little more ac-
tivity in It's behalf The suggestion
of Bro. Geo. w. White, of Freestone
county-one of the staunchest and
most intelligent Patrons in that
great State-will doubtless induce
many of our friends out there to re-
double their efforts. The circnla-
ton of THE PATRON in Texas can

of the year if al its friends will
work for it as a few are doing.

Sept. s.
Hon !. H. Acklen of Louisiana,
whose congressional career was pc
cu1iarly distinguished by prominent
connection with the Improvement
of the Mississippi and its tributaries,
said to us yesturday that the Eads
jettv was a success and with rea
sonable care was undoubtedly per-
manent. Mr.. Acklen appears con-
WINGED that the commercial inAu-
ence Of this fact is but beginning
to be felt, and that it will soon lead
70 such a diversion of the freight
that our East and West trunk lines
must suffer. He says that it is pro
baby true the Red river will, by
its own movement, be divided into
the Atchafalaya river. but says this
Will not materially affect the volume
Of the Mississippi, nor the trade of
New Orleans. as by very easy work
connecting Bayou Plaquemine with
the Atchafalaya the Red river trade
would as readily be brought to New
Orleans M AckIen is of the
opinion that the extensive improve
n1ent Of the Mississippi from ST
Paul to New Orleans by the gov
ernment will ~be advocated by the
whole Mississippi valley regardless
Of party. If this prove true the
government will unquestionably be
committed to this policy. Mr.. Ack-
len specially commends the New
Orleans Democrat to those interes-
ted in financial ard industrial mat
ters of that section.

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, in n re-
cent address, said: Something
more than education is wanted to
bring women to their true work.
We want concerned women in our
community, women wh9 can not
rest while the great works of hu-
manity call in vain. And after all,
though culture is invaluablc in its
helps, the great school for women
as we'll as for men is the school of
life. SO let US rejoice in the girl
graduates of Boston University,
Vassar, Cornell, and others; let us
be glad of the women lawyers, ply
sicians, ministers, who are doing
such good work; but let us also ex-
pect the whole body of womanhoOd
to learn the true lesson which
woman's experience OF life will
teach them, and to represent in the
inner life at home and the outer Ito
of society, the dignity of that office
and the grace Of their sex, the honor
of their humanity" ..

YaIObusha County.
BARBECUE!
Worthy Master Dardem'S Cam
D8ign.

Worthy Master Darden will finish
his canvass of this State in Warren
county on the Sth of October-a
campaign the most successful ever
attempted in the South. The at
tendance at ali his appointments
was large, and at every meeting he
aroused an enthusiasm among the
members Of the Order and the far
mers at tiarge that was as unexpected
as it was gratifying and encour-
aging to the friends of the cause.
The results of this canvass can not
be estimated at this time. In almost
every county he visited, from one to
three dormant Oranges were reor-
ganized and the active Oranges re-
ceived large accessions-these were
the direct results of his presence
and addresses, but the moral effect
OF his work will reach not only the
counties that he did not visit, but
the adjoining States. Wherever
this journal is read, from Georgia to
Texas, the quckening influence of
this campaign will be seen and felt;
and wherever farmers heart beats
warmly for the cause, the talented
and fearless leader of the Grange in
Mississippi will be held in high es-
TEEN and his splendid efforts in be
half of his class appreciated. The
farmers of Mississippi never before
had leader so worthy of their con-
tldence, nor one who so fully repre-
sented their sentiments and so ably
and fearle sly advocated the prin-
clpIes upon which their organiza-
ton is based He is earnest and
enthusiastic in his advocacy of the
cause, for he is in truth one of the
people. a plaiE farmer who un-
derstandS and appreciates the
difficulties under which they
labor, the wrongs anu op-
pressiors heaped upon them
by other classes, and who svmpa-
thlses with them in all their hopes
and aspirations. 1t is because he is
IN earnest and feels the truth of all
that he says, that he meets with
such wonderful success IN his cam
pa1gnS. In entire counties the
Grange sentiment had been al
almost stilled in the hush of
death, but when he appeared
among the farmers of these scoun
ties, that lifelessness was transform
ed into enthusiasm and became a
living power under the earnestness
OF his appeals and magic of his
eloquence. And that sentiment
Will grow in strength and expand
until every farmer in the State will
be brought under its energizing and
elevating influence.
The members of the Grange in
other States may be assured that all
is well in Mississippi. The present
is all life, activity and enthusiasm in
our ranks, and the future full of
glorious promise

This is evidently an off year for
crops in this country There is no
general failure in the yield of the
cereals, fruit cotton or tobacco, but
there is failure in some regions of
country while there is an abundant
production in other localities. This
may be wise economy of nature, but
the wisdom is not apparent to the
individuals who happen to be in the
list of those whose lands are unpro-
dhctive Taking the country as a
whole, probably the money value of
tie crops will be larger than it was
last year, because the smaller surplus
enhances the market prices, and as
regards our foreign trade, if we re-
ceive as much money for smaller
quantity of produce, we will not be the
loser. But for general prosperity at
home it would be much better if there
was more uniformity in the yield Of
agricultural productions. The higher
prices which seem likely 10 prevail
for the necessities and comforts of
life, TO say nothing of the luxuries'
viii materially increase the cost Of

The Michigan DIsaster-AppeaI
for Help.

Town authorities and prominent
citizens in different parts of Michigan
are sending out strong appeals for
help. These appeals are being re-
sponded to in many cities North
and South. AS showing the charac-
ter of the disaster and the extent Of
the suffering wrought, we publish
one of them Just issued from Port
Huron. It is dated September 11th
and is addressed to the American
people:
We have tonight returned from the
burnt district of Huron and San lac
counties. We have seen burnt, dis
figured and writhiug bodies of men,
women and children rough board
coffins contained the dead, followed
to the grave by few blinded, de-
spairing relatives; crowds of half
starved people at some of the stations,
asking bread for their families and
neighbors We hear of more than
two hundred victims already burned,
aud more charred and bloated bodies
are daily discovered. Already more
than 1900 families are found to be
utterly destitute and houseless. They
are huddled in barns, in schoolhouses
and In their neighbors' houses,
scorched. blinded and hopeless ;
some still wander half crazed around
the ruins of their habitations, vainly
seeking their dead some in speech
less agony wringing their hands and
refusing to be comforted. More than
10000 people, who only a week
ago occupied happy, comfortable
homes, are to day houseless and
homeless sufferers; they are hungry
and almost naked when found, and in
such numbers and so widely scatter
ed that ouf bes- efforts and greatest
resources fail to supply their mined
late wants Without speedy aid many
will perish and many will suffer and
become exiles Our people will dc
their utmost for their relief, but al
our resources would fail to meet theil
necessities We appeal to the char
ity and generosity of the American
people to send help without delay.

One Of the many attractions of the
Atlanta Cotton Exposition will be
an ensilage cattlery under full ope-
ration. Ensilage pits are being con-
structed, and horses, cows, sheep
and mules are to be fed during the
Exposition from them. The impor-
tance of this new system of feeding
cattle is obvious from the fact that
it costs more in the South to feed a
mule than to keep three field hands.
And to see the system in operation
is to be convinced of its practical
bility. swFrrga.%e $3.50 a
