The Luck Ola ''Grub Stalker


Tabor, who was elected to fill out
the short term in the Senate from
Colorado, was what is called GRUB
staker,'' in that State few years ago
A SCRUB stalker" is the man who for
an exborbitant rate of interest adj
yauces food to the miners who go out
"prospecting," and depends for pay
ment upon'the chances OF their "strlk-
mo it rich" He is what in cotton
planting parlance,is called supply
man." 1t CHANGED that Tabor adj
vanced eighteen dollars worth of food
to three Germans who were Pegging
away at the foot of hill, and becom-
ing discouraged called for settle
ment. They could not pay him, and
so in desperation he agreed to take
a third interest in their "claim" and
few days afterward they struck a
b6nanza and Tabor sold his interest
for millions and from that time for
ward become standing candidate
for the Senate.

The Lille Lou" Crippled.

From The Macon Beacon.
The Steamer Lille Lou left this
port yesterday morning between y
and s o'clock, and made excellent
time to Cards Ferry, about IS miles
from Macon by the river AT this
point there is a slight bend in the
river and the pilot Captain Newbold,
attempted to round without stacking
her speed, and would have succeeded
but for heavy gust of wind which
struck the boat at the time and drove
her into the bank. As the boat swung
around, driven by the current of the
river, and the wind at the same time
the stern struck stump on the river
bank and hole made in it large
enough to sink her in fifteen or TWEEN
~ miDues. Sno lies on the West
side of the river, on level bank,
outside of the channel, and can be
easily got at for repairs, if the river
falls. She had about eighty bales of
cotton, half of which hoated off was
recovered below.
Jas. r. Moore Esq, was the only
passenger on the l. e., and his son
Bruce had about 500 worth of goods
on board, all of which will probably
be lost or badly damaged. Mr.
Moore informed us that he could hay
gotten off every pound of his freighl
but the officers of the boat were con-
Gdent they could stop the leak and
forbid him moving it. The accident
can in no wise be attributed to any
fault OF the river, as Captain New
bold informed Us himself. He said
''if my foresight was as good as my
hindsight it would never have oc
CURED. l should have slacke ed up
before | reached the BEND
The accident is greatly regretted
by our citizens, and we hope the pub
lie sympathy will be manifested in u
tangible way by assisting the officers
to get their Boat afoat again.

New Orleans Favored for the Ex-
position.

Special to the Times-Democrat
WASHINGTON, Feb l7.-Mr. F. c..
Morehead, president of the National
Cotton Planters Association, today in-
teryiewed the English and French Min
listers relative to the probable interest
their respective countries would take in
the proposed Worlds Industrial and
Cotton Planters Centennial Exposition
Mr.. West, the English Minister, said
that England would take deeper inter,
est III a cotton exposition than any other
kind, for the reason that it would afford
English manufacturers of cotton ma
chinery and goods an opportunity of
introducing their wares in this country
He thought that New Orleans was the
place for holding the exposition because
it was very accessible by rail aud water,
and because it was The cotton metropolis
of the country. Mr. Poustau, the French
Minister, said he favored New Orleans
above all other localities for holding the
exposition. He thought that France
would do her share toward furnishing
exhibits. at is the experience Of
France" he said, "that international
expositions widened the trade relations
of nations and strengthened the bonds of
friendship between them" They were
beneficial in many ways. For ms lance,
before the Philadelphia Centennial very
little attention was paid to art in the
United States; now the subject attracts
the deepest interest.

HOPE FOR SUFFERING WOMAN!

HOPE FOR SUFFERING WOMAN!
SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.
BY reason of her peculiar relations, and
her peculiar ailment, woman has been
compelled to suffer, not only her own ills,
but those arising from the want of
knowledge, or of consideration on the
part Of those with whom she stands con-
nected in the social organization. The
frequent and distressing irregularities
pecnliar to her sex have thus been ag-
gravated to degree which no language
can express. In the mansions of the rich
and the howell of the poor alike, woman
has been the patient victim of ills I'M
known to man, and which none but she
could endure-and without remedy.
But now the hour Of her redemption has
come. She need not suffer longer, when
she can find relief in DIR. j. Bradfeld's

Bavarian Composer, whose operas are
familiar to every musician and lover
of music in the world, died in Vienna
on the 18th inst. His compositions
were of bold, original type invok-
ing the criticism of rival artists, but
surrounding him with an enthusiastic
following that numbered among them
the King of Bavaria who has of late
years given more time and thought
to the palace renditions of Wagner's
operas than to governmental affairs,
Wagner was born in 1873, and pub
lished his first opera in 1871.

DyERFE.GgtS OF THE MISSss.
SEPssG.
NicliShilrr Uernll.

The present stage Of the Mlsslssip-
pi river and one of its chief tributaries
makes the above subject one of
paramount interest to our citizens.
The unprecedented flpod of last year
gives a graver coloring to the reports
that reach us from the Shio,and there
are many who take too gloomy view
of the situation. The facts point to
an extremely dangerous outcome but
not necessary to a disastrous one.
Whether there will be a general and
destructive overflow Of the Valley,
depends upon the weather Of the next
six or eight weeks, as the water now
coming will, in our opinion, only
cause a partial overflow, the damage
from which may be made very small
as many planters will not suffer from
it at all, and as those only partially
inundated will have land to work on,
their injury will be slight, as there
is ample time for the water to come
and 60. before the planting season
passes.
To estimate the Valleys chances,it
is necessary for us to look back TWEEN
ty or thirty years. In 1890 there was
"June" overflow, and although
there has been a vast amount of talk
about the "June rise" and the danger
Of it, the only time it ever proved
disastrous was in 1850. In that year
there was no Spring rise and there has
never been an injurious "June rise"
following an overflow in the Spring,
In 1858 there was partial overflow,
but on the higher lands a sufficient
crop was made to pay expenses. 1859
was almost copy of 1853, and the
same cry of "ruin to the Valley was
then raised, that we hear so frequently
from alarmist now. In 1862 and in
1857 there were again partial over
flows, and the same cry was again
heard. There were no more serious
overhows until the one Of 1882. The
one last wear did immense damare.
but still n partial crop was made.
Taking a view of the past thirty wears.
it is safe to say that a combination of
thipcs must vet occur to cause a
total failure of the crop in tbe Valley
\ total failure by reason of inunda-
ton does not occur once in thirty
years. and there is no GOOD reason to
saw this wear will be that time. because

IT is amusing to hear the benef-
Charles of the late war talking about
"the wicked and causeless rebellion"
But for that war Grant would still be
juggling cheap whisky in Golena;
Sherman would still be in the employ
of the State of Louisiana Superin-
tendent of her Military Academy at
Alexandria; Phil Sheridan would
probably be a Captain by brevet, and
50 on through the whole category of
men who owe their elevation to the
