their feed, as you would hogs, and they 60
to work with viii when it is thrown in
amongst them. 1t consists ef shrimp,
/ crabs and small fish, and it is the Inten-
ton of the owner to keep them until near
Christmas, when they will bring from SIS

He says he can get SIS per dozen for the
choice'ones now, but will hold them for
higher prices.
Win Ryiander was arraigped before the
Mayors Court In Buena Vista, charged
with assault with intent to murder
Charles Park, both colOred. The negro
was bound over to the Superior Court in
the sum of $50, which he gave and was
released. Mr. Barlow Williams came
upon the two negroes Monday afternoon,
and VIII had Charles down, with one
hand on his Victims throat, and the other
had his knife drawn, swearing he would
XIII him. Charles had the wrist of his
assailant's hand which contained the
knife grasped tightly in both of his own
and prevented the desperate man from
cutting his throat, but he succeeded in
cutting Charles slightly on the breast.
MIR. WItl1ams made the negroes get up
and caused them to separate, and no
doubt saved Charles lite, as his antagon-
list was choking him severely, and ne
could not have resisted much longer.
bales of cotton weighing 425 pounds per
bale to pay the guanO debt Of this county
this year, or about two-ninths OF the en-
tire crop, If 1t makes a full crop. Should
the crop be cut off by disasters it will be
a greater per cent. The prospect.now is
unfaVorable to good crop. This is not
a natural cotton growing country. The
crop has to be forced by artificial means,
yet our people hang their financial sue
cess on the chances of cotton crop, and
contract debt that;is simply colossal to
enable them to make cotton for a market
that is glutted and has to be forced every
year to insure tine sale of all the cotton
produced. Reduced prices follow over
production OF this STABLE as inevitably as
night does the going down of the sun. 1t
does not stop there, either; it extends to
the goods manufactured of cotton and to
the wages of operatives. 1t diminishes
the bread food crop and makes bread
higher and wages lower. Every person
in the South is injured by overproduc tion
OF cotton and the farmer is not benefited.
