the day. The first bale Last ycar, was
sold on the 6th or August, and there had
been, up TO the LIST of October Last yoAr,
more than ak hundred bales sold,
whereas, up to the same date this year,
there has been but q bare one hundred,
1t Is now a settled fact, that the crop OF
cotton, throughout the lower section OF
Laurens County, will be shorter. than
for many years and many are Of the
opinion that prices will be higher than
ut present. We! quote prices to-day
ers to take it all. Among tho buyers
here are McCrary & Ferguson and uncle
George Copeland the veteran buyer OF
this section, who has probably bought
more cotton, directly from the planter,
than any man in upper Carolina.

why the Bal,y Cries.

Tho Young bachelor who volunteered an
opinion as to the reason for n bahy's smile,
and the summary Justice which he received
at the hands of the baby's nurse arc well
known, but why the baby cries is matter as
to which few men have any curiosity. pro
yided it is not too late to have an engagement
down town when the concert begins. The
"Mother's Manual of Chiltlrcn's Diseases" ex-
plains the matter thus:
Series are the only language which a
young baby has TO express its distress, rs
smiles and laughter and merry antics tell
without word its gla(lreSS. The baby must
be i'll, is all that its cries tell one person; an
other, who has seen much of sick children,
will gather from them moro, and will he able
to Judge whether its suiicrings is i'll the head
or chest or stomach. The cries of baby
with the stomach ache are long and loud and
passionate; it sheds q profusion of tears; now
stops for a moment, and then begins again,
drawing up It's legs to its stomach; and, as
the pain passes off, stretches them out again,
and with many little so5s passes OF into
quiet sleep. If it Las inflammation OF tic
chest it does not cry aloud, it sheds 10 tears,
but every few minutes, especially after draw
ing deeper breath than before, or after each
short, hacking coa$h, it gives a little cry,
which it checks, apparently, before it has half
finished, and this, either because it has no
breath to waste in cries, or because the effort
makes its breathing more painful. If disease
is going on in the head, the child uttcrs sharp,
piercing shrieks, and then between whilcs a
low moan or wall, or perhaps llo sound Mt all,
but lies quiet, apparently. dozins., till pain
wakes it up again. ."--ChicaGo News.

Jackson The burial place was of llar own
choosing, about 1000 feet above her home at
Colorado Springs, and 5000 feet above the
level of the Atlantic ocean, near where she
was born. She died in California, where she
selected as her final resting place a plateau
upon the top of one of the Cheyenne lnoun-
tains. The chosen place was Ole where she
had spent for five years or more much of her
leisure time in exploring the mountains, in
planning, slictching and writing portions of
her Century of DiShonor," "Namona," and
many of her poems and stories of home his
tory and Indian life.
"Many pilgrims from all parts of the coun-
try and from abroad also visit this mountain
grave, of which none knew up to the hour of
her death but h"r husband, a single friend
and herself. Why, almost everyone asks,
this strange pla"e of burial: If the dead
cannot speak, the living cannot answer.

their small rcd feet and legs flying from tuft

driving tho small coal-black cattle of. trcse

were SOON seated, laughing and singing,

their lair from their rel checks, but not for,

the potccn they brow here in spite of all the.

of that indescribable fragrance which comes
from living almost completely out of doors.
Presently we drew up before their own,

to them from Galway, and in twinkling.
they plunged into @ comfortable looking
