A YOUTHFUL MURDERER.

Willie Sans, aged six years, son of
a farmer living near Wilson, N. c.,
murdered his infant brother, aged
three months couple of days ago.
The child had been given him to hold,
and he went out in the sun with it.
He had some time ago been taken to
a ehild's funeral, and manifested great
interest in its burial, which he did
not seem to understand. He has fire.
quently prattled about it recently,
and asked many questions as to how
the child was got into the coffin and
when it would come out. When he
reached the grove, about three hun
dred yards from his fathers home, he
took small box, which he had pre-
viously carried to the spot, and after
scooping out grave in the sand by a
small brook, he placed the infant in
the box, nailed down the top and bur
led it, even going through the form
of delivering prayer and singing a
hymn. After he had filled the grave
he stamped ON it and slowly went
back home and told his mother what
he had done. He said it "was just
like Mrs. Arthur's little baby's fun
eral." The mother fastened to the
scene, the grave was reopened, and
the infant found dead, with its right
arm broken and its skull crushed.

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT.

The industrial development in the
South is surprising even to South
erners, to whom the smoke and noise
of industry have been strange. The
Southern States are growing in in
dustrial wealth faster than the North
ern States. Scores of little indus
tries are rising, calling tor from 81,
600 to 5000 capital. Mines are be-
ing opened lumber mills and wood
working factories built; new cotton
mills are being projected -four mills
are bobbing up every day /; telephone
and elecrric light companies are be-
ing organized. 1t is from this grow
ing section that our future valuable
markets are to COME for tools, cloth,
iron, hardware and the many pro-
ducts of cultivated skill.

PERSONALITIES,

Keep clear Of personalities in gen
eral conversation. Talk of things,
objects, thoughts. The smallest
minds occupy themselves with per-
sonalities. Personalities must some
times be talked because we have to
learn and find out mems characteris-
tics for legimitate objects but it is to
be with confidential persons. Do not
needlessly report i'll of others. There
are times when we are compelled to
say, 4 do not think Bouncer is true
and honest man. But when there is
no need to express on opinion let
poor BOuncer swagger away. 9th
ers will take his measure, no doubt,
and save you the trouble of analysing
and instructing them. And as far
as possible dwell on the good side Of
human beings. There are family
boards where consistent process of
depreciation assigning motives, and
cutting up character goes forward.
They are not pleasant places. One
who is healthy does not wish to dine
at dissecting table. There is evil
enough in man, God knows. But
it is not the mission Of every young
man and woman to detail and report
it all. Keep the atmosphere as pure
as possible, with fragrant gentleness
and charity.

CHOLERA.

The death rate from cholera in
Spain is dreadful to contemplate.
Already there have been over 5000
victims in eight provinces and the
summer season may be considered as
only begun. With a death rate of
four or five hundred a day, and as
many new cases developed, the fu-
ture presents an awful picture. Chol-
era feeds on fifth, and it is stated that
nearly all those who have been at
tackled by it are residents of the slums
and filthy abodes in the cities. 1t
will be almost a miracle if this
scourge does not cross the Atlantic
and obtain foothold in America.
The most thorough and complete san
itary regulations should be enforced
in every city.

A MOUNTAIN MYSTERY

While party of men were search
ing for cattle on the western slope
of the Cohuttah mountains, few
days ago, they were Mortified to
stumble suddenly upon the CHASTITY
remains of a man, in a wild and lonely
ravine. The body was in an advanc-
ed state of putrefaction, the man
having been dead perhaps a month
or more. Near at hand lay bundle
containing two suits of cloths, while
a pistol, lantern and one dollar were
found upon the dead mans person.
The remains were so much decayed
that the head was entirely gone, and
was difficult to tell whether the man
was white or lack.-Dalton Citizen.

According to our South Carolina
exchanges, Georgetown is in bad
way. The railroad it wanted and
went in debt for has not helped it
from all accounts. The $4,000 obi
CATION in railway bonds seems toweigh
it down. The Abbeville Medium
puts the case thus: High taxes prevent
profitable mercantile competition
with more favored localities. High
rents and low real estate declining in
value are not seductive to outsiders
who desire to settle in town.

termined effort to recover Ohio next
fall. The campaign will be run OF

all the leading republican stumI
speakers, from Mr.. Blaine down,
will take part in tie canvass. An
effort will be made to raise as big a

the election is not only in the fact

his banner ut once to the breeze as
