A Georgia Fox Hunt.

Wooster in LiRcolnton N6ats.
Cabot, ca-loot-loot came forth the shriIl
clarion note of the fox horn belonging to
the Nlmrod of the mountain, Maj Tai
Ross, and, awakening from our slumber,
we whistled up our hounds to meetfn coun-
oil, to hedge about and swing corners with
feet footed Reward. But listen! What
music Maj. Tai just turned loose mis-
whooper and fairly rOared. From day
break till about 6 O'clock the syl-
van sOlitudes and Businesses OF
the old mountain were echoing with
the hearty yelps and lusty yells OF hound
and hunter, when Reynard, Disguised
and despairing, quit terra Hrnld and be-
took himself up a sappling; and he could
not come down till like the bad boy In
Webster's blue back, he had TO succumb
70 kn0ck-down argument OF rocky facts.
He At last made wild leap and COM
menced the death march, for after few
super-canine bounds the fsngs offive nun
gry hounds were buried IN his body, and
noble Reynard sank 70 rise no more. The
hunters then cast lots. The hide fell TO
Tai, tn tail 10 the writer, the honor TO
the dogs, and Reynard 10 the buzzards.
Wet as the fleece Of Gidion, fiabby as a
dish rag and hungry as a stOck-law-
starvation-pen-ra imitation. we
returned home with our trophy. With a
little more practice we will ut the metal
of our pack against any riYal-be 1t even
the untiring Billy Wilkes. Woe 70 the
fox, gal oping gray or rambling red, that
dRres even 30 much as put his big toe
anywhere on sunny lea or dewy morn
just let the scent once faint the gale and
he can stuck his head" for Wen have his
tail and cut IL of.

The Name of Lady Lake.

From tie Wild Wood tFia.j Orange LeaE
Not very long since some correspondent
writing to a country paper said that Lady
Lake took It's name from the circumstance
OF lady having fallen into its peliucid
waters some time about 1861. Uncle
johnnie Perry. OF oxford, says that he
was here in 1854, and at that time this
sheet Of water was called Lady Lake.
Uncle Joe Hall, Of Oxford, says that
Nathaniel Deat0n gave the lake the
mace IL bears. because one arm az Il
resembles lady's slipper. These three
old gentlemen came here almost before
the yell OF toe Seminole had ceased 10
echo through the pine wilderness, and
they ought 10 know.

Denying the Malicious Report.


The Savannah NEWS denies the report
which charges our big brother by the sea
with an intention TO cripple, If possible,
the country press in South Georgia. The
NEWS has never injured the Times, though
it has a large circulation in LOwndes, and
we do not believe that it could do it il il
would, or that it would if it could. The
country press fills a want that no
city weekly or daily can supply.
we have been able to see this for
10 years. The country press in Georgia
has no better friend than j. II. Estil.
This has been demonstrated more than
once. When the Times Office was entirely
destroyed by fire in 1876, j. II. Estlil was
the first newspaper man that offered a
helping hand. John Triplett. however,
made the same offer few days after, and
being nearer, his kindness was accepted,
and will ever he gratefully remembe
The Savannah NEWS will never crush out
the country press.

or three years Is now CHARTERED about a
half mile below the mouth Of Line creek,
on the Flint. Col. Slaughter, the mana.
ger, is personally experimenting the
work, and has about twenty hands under
him. The principal object OF the work
now seems 30 be the moving
OF the logs that obstruct
the current Of the river. In some places
where they have been removed they oc-
cupy the space OF an acre. In a heavy

A few light bets are being made that
Americas will reserve 10000 bales of cot

Rust is injuring cotton throughout the
eighth district of Worth county. But
few cateipillars have appeared as yet.
At present crops around LincOlnton are
suffering dreadfully for rain. Cotton is
opening rapidly, and some Of 1T prema-
ture.
w. L. Brantley, of Dougherty county,
is said to have invented a machine for APP
plying liquid poison to the cotton plant
for the destruction OF caterpilars.
The rice crop of the Altamaha, so far,
is sale. Some little damage has been done
by the heavy rains, but nothing more.
Considerable rice has been cut and
stacked, and some is still ON the stubble,
but unless there is more bad weather,
there will be no serious loss.
Mrs. Julia Wilchar has the oldest mule

to plow with before the war. Her other
sons-Lyman, Doles, and Eddie-have- all
learned to plow with the same mule. This
year DOles and Ed VII make from her
pi0winy 300 bushels of corn. They have
one of the best farms on the island, and
know well the art Of pushing 1t to its full
est capacity.
Americas Recorder: Cotton never

pickers are at 1t. We are led to these re-
ma RI nv no fa fy,or tpio de

worms or too much rain is the trouble,
and but few will get a good crOr. In a
thirty mile ride the other day we saw a
great deal of cotton, and we must ac-
knowledge the prospect did not seem very
blue to us. The crop may be cut of
somewhat, but there will he lots of cotton
to market in Sumter county this winter.

Tallahassee hT0udidn: 1t Is surprising
what a lively interest the establishment
of one cigar factory in Tallahassee has
created among the planters of Leon
county. Already numbers of them who
had never given the subject serious
thought, are talking of putting in tobacco
crops. And we are told that parties are
coming here who will buy the crop in the
field, and prepare it tor market, 30 that
our planters will only have to care for the
crops until they are ready to cut.
Tallahassee TqlldhdS SeedR: Mr.. Sydney
Vason has learned a new dodge in cotton
growing. He has a peculiar variety of
seed and a peculiar way OF preparing his
land, so that when he plants his seed they
grow up so fast that the stalks are higher
than a mans head by the time he can get
around to hoe it the second time, and Sgd
neyi is not a slow young man to get around
with a hoe, either.

A JAPANESE INDUSTRY.
The Straw-Braid Trade of Japan-The
Dexterity of the Plaiters.

beAUtTliN VI ilt
Within the last three years quite
:. W industry for Japan has sprung into
existence-the manufacture of straw
plat or braid for mems hats and
women's bonnets for use abroad. The
first year the export ccnsiSte of some
5000 pieces only, the next it increased
to $4,000, and the last nearly 1,000,-
900 pieces of sixty yards each. The
price, of course, varies according to the
season and quality of the art Gle, rang
ing, we believe, from eighty sen down
to as low as twenty-five sen per piece.
the latter being, we understand, the
price Just now, owing to the fact of the
season being over, for it has to reach
America in time to be made up by the
hat makers for the summers trade.
There is also an immense production in
China of the same article, which has
existed for many years past; the price
there, however, mostly rules cons;d-
erably lower than there, owing to the
cost of Chinese manufactures being gen.
orally less than the japanese ask for
their wares. The japanese plat ordi-
narily commands better price abroad,
as the straw of which it is made is
brighter and winter in color it is also
mostly very neatly made, owing to the
teft fingers of the japanese being ad-
mirably suited to the work. This in-
dustry, which bids far to develop into
larger and larger proportions, is an
especial benefit to the farming class, the
raw material costing nothing and the
making of the plat furnishing occupa-
ton to the female branches of the fam
lily during leisure hours and winter
nights, when work outside can not be
followed. The money earned being so
much clear gain, it is a welcome supple
ment to the ia3e6iiffee IL a3e6ififfees5 Of Il thousands Of
poor and industrious families. We OBJ
serve that the workers at the village Of
Omor, near Toxic, are about holding
competitive exposition, to test the dex-
terity of the plaiters and the quality of
the article turned out by them. Japan

NOTHING NEW.
Paul BoytOns Exploit Attempted Oyer
One Hundred Years Ago.


Paul Boyton's recent prank in plac-
ingta dummy torpedo against the Brit
ish war-ship Garnet in New York har-
Dor brings to mind Sergeant Lees at
tempt to blow up Lord Howe's flag
ship, the Eagle, in the same waters in
1776 He used a torpedo boat invented
by David Bushnell, afterward a Captain
in the patriotic army. 1t had been
sried with success eXperimentally, and
gave promise of being useful in serious
warfare. The first opportunity for such
use occurred when the British fleet took
possession of New York harbor. The
Bushnell boat was more like a barrel
than boat 1t was of oak, iron band
ed, and only large enough for one per-
son. When floating upright, the navi-
gators head was little above the level
OF the water By means of two force
seumps, worked by the occupants feet,
the vessel could be made to sink or
rise in the water by forcing water out
or in, and so changing its specific gray
ity. It's progress horizontally was gov
erned by two revolving paddles i'll
front, turned by a crank inside. The
torpedo was fastened to the back Of the
boat by screw, the release of which
set in motion a clock connected with
a eun-lock and flint. After the prede-
iermined interval Of time had elapsed,
the clock would strike and ignite the
powder.
The torpedo carried by Lee against
tbe Eagle was charged with one hun
gIred and fifty pounds of powder (some
say one hundred and thirty pounds),
and the clock was set to explode the
charge in thirty minutes after the tor
pedo was placed. Lee was towed to
the neighborhood of the fleet by party
in whale boats, and then proceeded to
attack the fleet alone. He succeeded
In reaching the Eagle, sixty-four gun
ship, undetected, and spent long time
in vain attempt to fasten the torpedo
to her bottom with hooks and screws, a
band of iron at the edge of the copper
sheathing proving an especially serious
obstacle. AS daylight approached he
was compelled to leave the fleet and re-
turn to the city. Off Governor 5 Island
he was intercepted by a British barge,
when, to avoid capture he exploded his
torpedo, escaping from his pursuers
during the panic which the explosion
excited. If the torpedo had been pro
vided with a strong magnet, the strip
of iron which thwarted him would have
insured the success of his undertaking,
and the use of torpedoes in naval
warfare might have been fastened halt
a century. Scientific American
