A New Order of. Things.

Every intelligent planter knows that
within the past few years new era has
opened for the South, in the rapid and
profitable development of its agricultural
and manufacturing resources. Its indus
tries have been multiplied and their vol
ume increased in such a degree that
new demand for motive power has
sprung up, especially in such branches
of production as require light power to
take the place of the slow, inadequate
system of horse and mule power which
has prevailed for so many years.
The old methods are wholly unsuited
to the new order of things, of which in
creased production, larger profits, and
the adoption of improved processes are
Characteristic features.
To meet this prevailing want, the
Bookwalter Steam Engine has been pro-
duced, and is especially adapted for use
on plantations, for such purposes as gin
ming cotton, grinding corn, and many
other purposes that will suggest them
selves to any one who desires to keep up
with the new order of things and make
a profit on his product.
This Engine gives the maximum OF
service at the minimum of expense. 1t
has an upright boiler, constructed with
special reference to economy in fuel,
safety, durability, and freedom from
leakage. A defect frequently observed
in upright boilers-namely, the burning
out of tubes, and leakage at the point OF
insertion at the crown sheet-has been
carefully guarded against in the construc-
ton of the Bookwalter Engine. Every
detail of it's mechanism has been made
the subject of diligent study and expert
ment. and it is offered to the public in
the full confidence, based upon its sue
cessful use by thousands of persons i'll
all parts of the country, that it meets in
the most perfect manner every require
ment of an effective, practical motive
power.
All working parts, including also
crates. bed plate, door and bonnet to
boiler, are made in duplicate, SO that in
case of breakage the owner can get a
rev part and replace it without having
10 20 to machine-shop with the Engine.
The aim of the makers of this we'll
Known Engine, Messrs. James Leffel &
Co, of Springfield, Ohio, has been to
give perfect efficiency to the working
parts, producing but few sizes and build
ing them in the most thorough manner
in short, to combine effectiveness with
simplicity, durability and cheapness.
Every boiler and engine is tested By
steam pressure to over twice the work
ing pressure, and run, before leaving
the works, to insure its perfect working
in the hands of the purchaser.
They are easily operated, and that
tAey give the best of satisfaction is fully
proven by the fact that oyerthree thou
sand of them are in use in the United
States, many of them successfully driv-
ing cotton gins, cotton presses, cane and
corn mills in the Southern States.
The manufacturers are always pleased
to furnish all information regarding this
Engine to any one asking for the same.

KING CHOLERA.
New Orleans Times Democrat.

All Europe is alarmed over the
threatened Asiatic cholera, which
has already reached its doors-.he
Suez Canal - which has, indeed, ap-
peared in the very harbOr of Mar
seIIes, the great port of the Medi
terranean. There is every reason
for this fear. Sanitary science has
made great progress since the last
cholera visitation, and q more effic-
len, and thorough system Of quarsn.
tine has been devised, but with all
this. there is no disease more dltfi>
cul. to keep out than this cholera
Il infects the water, il infects the
ships, it is borne on the very breez
es. Europe tba. has fought it for
wears. but it cannot boast that 1t has
ever kept back this disease, which
comes with certain but regular tread
There is one favorable feature
about the propagation Of this disease
tho slowness with which it moves.
Eugene Sue, 10 bis Wandering
Jew" figured it as travelling only as
fast as a weary old man. which is,
indeed, its ordinary rate of progress
Toe first epidemic that reached
Europe originated 10 India, 10 1917
but did not reach Western Europe
until fourteen years after. II is
noticeable, however, that each subse'
quent epidemic has moved more
rapidly than its predecessor, due,
probably, to the fact thu. travel has
become more expeditions 10 this age
of steam. Thus, of the four epidem-
les have visited the civilized world
the present century, the first took
fourteen years to get from Bengal
to England, the second six, third
three, and the last barely one year.
While much is vague and uncertain
about this disease, it's origin and
course of travel never varies. The
cholera is always born in lndia, on
the banks of the Ganges Its route
to Europe is always the same, west.
ward to Egypt and Perisa, and
thence into Russia. 1t nearly al>
ways fingers in that Empire year
or more, and suddenly makes lie
al pearance 10 the north Of England
it travels to France, thence through
Southern Europe, from which it
springs suddenly into Canada, and
New York, to make its way rapidly
through the United States into Mex
leo and South America. 1t, never
travels from Egypt direct to South
ern Europe, bat always takes the
same circuitous route via Russia and
Epglaud. Whether, however, the
Suez Canal will change it's route this
year remains to be seen.
All the countries of Europe, Great
Britain excepted, are making esrn-
est pre- pars,ions for this disease, the
greatest enemy the human race
knows. All the power, ell the sci"
ence that civilization boast are
united against this dread destroyer,
this Eastern potentate, King Cholera
1t remains to be seen whether they
can keep out the great enemy, who
counts bis victims by thousands and
millions.

Joe Spooner, an Idaho miner,
having completely exhausted his
credit, hit on the following plan to
get on aspree. Telling one of the
saloon keepers that be had heart
disease, be asked him to write his

cent 10 the world, he graveiy be-
queathed piece after piece OF mining
property, worth hundreds of thou
sands, to different persons, winding
up with So, 900 to the SELDOM keeper
and $4,000 to bis little daughter.
This master stroke brought the
wherewith for a royal spree, but the
trick was soon found out, and any
one who alluded to it in the saloon
keepers presence, did go at bis
naril.

There is no reason except the in :
capacity and venality of Republican
Congresses and the prodigalisy and
corruption of Republican adminis'ra

BROUGHT HER TO HER SENSES
New York Herald.

New 1Ork f1eralu.
Old Commodore Vanderbilt was
uncanny 10 many wsys, but be had
some sterling qualities. The posses
sion of great wealth oid not make q
golden calf dude Of him. The fol-
lowing anecdote illustrates what we
mean:
At Saratoga, on one occasion,
when sitting on the piazza of a hotel,
somewhat overdressed lady APP
preached and claimed his acqusint'
ance. The commodore rose snd
talked sffably with her. while bis
wife and daughter sniffed the air with
scorn. "Father," said the young
lady, 40 the commodore resumed bis
seat, "didn't you remember that
vulgar Mrs. B as the woman
who used to sell poultry to us at
home Z" Certainly" responded
the old gentleman promptly, "and l
remember your mother When she
used to sci! root beer ct three cents
glass over in jersey, when went
up there from Staten Island peddliDg
oysters out of my boat"

NEW RULES.

Governor Mcdaniel has issued q
new set of rules for the government
of those in charge of the States cons
victs. Convicts are not allowed to
be used as guards. The law in re-.
gard to escapes will be rigidly en-,
forced, and no class of convicts al,
lowed to go beyond prison bounds
without a guard. Prisoners are to
be relieved of their chains on suns
day. and allowed to attend divine
worship. The sexes are to be kept
separate, and buildings provided for
each sex. Due regard is to be had
as to the ability of convicts to per-
form work assigned them.
The new rules cover some points
heretofore omitted, and are such as
wisdom and humanity would sug-
gest. The Governor is giving the
various details of bis office a thor.
ough investigation, and there will
doubtless be reforms in other depart
ments.

What may we'll take rank as the

Governor that he does not acknow-

A distinguished New York lawyer
in recent interview said "The
supply of young lawyers is certainly
falling off, but there are still enough
now men every year for all practical
purposes. There are 0,000 law
yers in the United States, in round
numbers, of whom 4 1000 are in New
York city. About 200 qualify every
year, but of these not more than
twenty or twenty-five permanently
pursue their profession. The re-
mainder drift into other occupations
or go to the bad, and very large
proportion of them, finding that the
law is not so lucrative a calling as
they had believed and hoped, and
that their fathers, brothers and
friends are doing very much better
in their trades and business, give up
the office and the court for the work
shop or the store. The public sre
not losers by this, for great many
young men go in for the profession
of law who are fitted for it neither
by training nor by nature"
