III. Cotton Crop.

Many of the large mercantile firms of the
country, both east and south, that have a
good trade in this state have out agents
through the country Inspecting the cotton
crops especially. ana the crops generally
The travelling statesmen for various houses
are acting in that capacity inspecting the
cotton crop ard noting thu progress OF The
bollworm so as TO give their houses some
sort of an idea what trade they may expect
from the state. A HERALD reporter met
up with and had talk with
several of these gentlemen
last evening, who informed him that the
rayages of the boil worm had been greatly
exaggerated, and that, while their numbers
were small, It was only here and there that
they had appeared in sufficient numbers TO
seriously injure the crop. The sunshiny
weather of the past few days has been
very beneficial 10 the crop and the time for
picking is al hand. They are OF the opinion
that farmers have more reason TO be
frightened at the scarcity of labor than
about the boil worm. IL is their universal
opinion that the crop will pan out abun-
dant and will be up to the fondest anticipa-
tfone

A DOWN TOWN MERCHANT

Having passed several sIeepless nights,
disturbed by the agonies and cries of a
suffering child, and becoming convinced
that Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup was
just the article needed, procured o supply
Tor the child. On reaching home and ac-
quainting his wife with what he had
done, she refused to have it administered
to the child, as she was strongly in favor
of homeopathy. That night the child
passed IN suffering, and the parents with
out sleep. Returning home the day fol-
lowing, the father found the baby still
worse and while contemplating another
sleepless night, the mother stepped from
the room to attend to some domestic du-
ties, and left the father with the child.
During her absence he administered a
portion of the Soothing Syrup to the
baby, and said nothing. That night all
hands slept well, and the little fellow
awoke in the morning bright and happy.
The mother was delighted with the sud-
den and wonderful change, and although
at first offended at the deception practiced
upon her, has continued to use the Syrup.
and suffering crying babies and restless
nights have disappeared. A single trial
ofthe Syrup never yet failed to relieve
the baby, and overcome the preiudices of
the mother. Sold by all druggists. %
cents a bottle.

action in the matter the defense will
wish to take. Twill inform the court
| tomorrow"
DIR. Bowker, of Kansas City, was
called by Scoville.
Witness met Mrs. Dunmire at
Leadville, Colorado, had had con-
versatIon with her. She said she
had entertained great doubts as to
the mental condition of Guiteau at
the time she had obtained her di-
vorce, and that at the time perhaps
she had better defer the divorce pro-
ceedings, and await some future
developments in the mental condi-
ton of her husband. The prisoner
undertook to read a letter. as he
termed, from an old friend of Presi-
dent Garfield in Ohio, showing that
the public opinion was working in
his favor. Judge Cox ordered him
to be silent.
Guiteau-"It shows the state of
public opinion outside the court
room"
Judge Cox-"Be silent. Public
opinion has nothing TO do with the
the case"
Guiteau--" When | speak | speak
to fifty million people; not to this
little crown in court"
Marshal Henry (rising and moving
towards the prisoner)-"keep quiet,
sir"
Guiteau-"I got through, sir"
The marshal whispered some in
structions to the bailiff sitting i'll the
dock. Momentarily the prisoner
started off ON another hrrangue, and
the bailiff put his hand upon his
shoulder and attempted to quiet
him. Guiteau shouted, sect away
from me, or I'll stamp you in the
mouth" With this Outburst, he
subsidized, however, and turned his
attention TO writing on slips of paper.
1t is understood that the defense
in the Guiteau case will shortly in
troduce a new feature. So-called
cranks, numbering between forty
and fifty, have been arrested here
since Guiteau shot the president,
most of whom have been sent to st.
Elizabeth insane asylum, on physi-
clans certificates. The physician in
each case will, it is said, be sum-
moned for the purpose of compar-
ing these cases with that of Guteau,
with the view of demonstrating
that, if the commitments referred
to were justly made, Guiteau
must be likewise insane. Among
physicians, who it is expected will
be called to the witness stand are
those upon whose certificates Big
-
asylum. 1t will be remembered
that higgins fancied that General
Grant appeared to him by means of
a keyhole in his door and prosecuted
him. higgins was sent to the asylum
and afterwards sued General Grant
for 100000 damage. He was finally
released and is now engaged in
business in this City.

The Rail,Oay Age says: "The At
lanta and Charlotte Air Line (now..a
division of the Richmond and Dan
vile system) a few years ago, under
direction of its general passenger
agent, Mr.. w. j. Houston, secured a
colony of Swiss farmers, who located
at point selected for them,and have
since prospered greatly. One of
these sold his one acre in Switzer-
land and with the proceeds
bought LAT acres on the line
of this road with a comfortable
house, a crop half grown, and the
necessary horses, cattle hogs, etc.,
and now says any one of the 147
acres is worth as much as the one
acre he sold in Switzerland. No
other influence has proven so eff
fectiye in securing an excellent
class of immigrants to this country
as that exerted by the railways.
The public has no adequate concep-
ton of the work that has been done
by the railways in this direction

of justice.
One of the special prosecution for
the government in the star route
case, stated to-day, that they would
commence work before the grand
jury in about two weeks. He SAID
they have their evidence in a salts
factory shape, and full confidence of
the sufficiency to secure indictments.
While not yet fully decided what
case they will start with, still it is
their impression that they will lead
off with Ex-senator Dorsey and his
connections with the star route
service.
