Miss Lessie Moore, Of Anderson, spent
several days pleasantly among friends
here last week.
Col. John G.. Cox, who last Spring in
vested in real estate at and near the grow

Texas, returned last week to assist his
parents In their departure for their future
home in Grayson County, Texas.
An enterprising young man OF this
place has possessed himself of a frst.class

The Methodists at Smith Chapel, with
commendable spirit, have put blinds in

Farmers Son Replies to Alliance
hfnn.

MEssRA EDtroRs: "Alliance Man,!
in your last weeks issue, eudeavosed to
reply to my suggestion as to Cute Facto.
ries: In the 6rst place, Mr. aAlliance
Man" proceeds upon a false premise, for
:cottoa hsgging, weighing one pound to
the yard, cannot be bought for l2f cents
per yard. This year the cotton cloth
used as ccstun covering costs from !6 to
20 cents pound. therefore, if it wan
made hesvy enough to weigh pound to
the yard, it would cost at least sixteen
cents a yard, according 70 present prices.
That would mako six yards cost 96 cents
instead of75. This six pounds is sold for
go cents, loss of 96 cents TO the bale.
What about Jutes Jute bagging,
weighing II pounds to the yard, costs ten
cents. Take nine yards to the bale, and
that is ninsty- cents. This nine yards
weighs M4 pounds, and is sold at s2.O24, a
gain OF profit of sl.l2t to the bale. To
this add the SO cents loss on the cotton
bagging, and you have 148a, the actual
loss sustained by the man who uses cotton
covering instead of Jute. What has my
friend, "Alliance Man." to say to this !?
Say there are Z 7,ooe,0oo bales made, what
would the loss be? SlO,S95 900. And
yet it will pay to use cotton covering. In.
my first suggestion / showed that it
would take 100000 bales, weighing 500
pounds each. to cover 7,OO0,0O0 bales.
This 100000, at $50 bale, would be
worth $3.50, 900, about half of the less
in the use of cotton covering. How does
this sound
Ny friend says Figures will show
that as long as cotton sells for less than
15c. per pound, it is to the interest Of the
cotton farmer to use cotton bagging."
Let me, in the best of feelings, ask
|aAlliance Man" to make the figures that
will shov this. It is easy to say a thing,
but 1t is sometimes very hard 10 show
lit.
Now, let me make one more suggestion
in reference to the use of Jute bagging.
The fare is five per cent, consequently
thirty pounds on FIVE hundred pound
bale. ] wish to show that if the cotton
farmer will take my first suggestion, and
Snaye Jute baggipg made here, as It can
be done, at cost of ten cents yard for
q pound Jute, and put 9yards to the:
bale, and use best ties, which weigh
about 2 pounds, each, and put six to the
bale, he will have 9 < 21-221 pounds
bagging to the bale; 6 PIP
pound ties to the bale; 221 12-3433
pounds bagging and ties to the bale.
Thirty pounds are taken off for tsre, and
AZ pounds are left for gain:

Andersonyille lltems,

We had pleasant visit from our much
esteemed friend, Rev T. W. Vernon, OF
Georgia, few days ago. He reports good
crops in his travels, but thinks cotton has
been overestimated To some extent, as so
many had to repla1t. and it will be too
late to mature. He is President of the
Hart County Alliance, and is very hope
full for the farmer. Mr. Vernon is one Of
Georgia's best men. He has passed his
three-score year, and 10 still hale and
hearty, and can pick his hundred pounds
of cotton yet in one day.
We are glad to hear that Mrs. W. II.
Brown, who has been very low for some
time with fever, is able to be up again.
Mrs.. Rebecca Durham, who has been
visiting her daughter near Varennes, has
returned to her sons, w. B. Durham,
after an absence of three months. She
was in very feeble health on her return,
but is now able to pick cotton.
Mr.. J. r. Caldwell has about completed
his dwelling house. It Is very substan-
tial one and does credit to the workmen,
Messrs. Bobo Il Edwards.
The good people of this section have
organized prayer meeting at Shady
larly every Sunday evening, and is largely
q
hope great good may be accomplished
through the instrumentality of the meet
ing.
Mrs. Henry Caldwell, an esteemed lady,
has been very low, but at this writing is
thought to be little on the mend. We
wish for her speedy recovery.
Rev. ]. T. w. Vernon will preach at
Andersonville the 4th. Sunday in October,
at eleven O'Clock, If not providentially
hindered.
The Good Book says "Judge not, that
ye be not Judged" and again, Judge
tree by its fruit" !" Now, we judge from
the actions of q certain young couple not
far of, we hope ere long to have the pleas
;ure of writing mnrriage notice. We
hope our name will not be forgotten.
Hav'nt been to none in a long time!
Mr.. D. NJ. Tippens had the misfortune
to lose valuable young cow. and her
death is a mystery. Her nav was

Tasting Without a Tongue.

There exists mistaken notion that the tongue is the sole organ of taste, just as the idea, natural but erroneous, is ex- tant that it is necessary for purposes of speech. As matter of fact, taste is as largely resident in the palate as in the tongue, while numerous cases are on record in which persons who have suf- fered the loss of the tongue have been able to speak with clearncss. Recently a proof was given of the widespread na- ture of the taste- sense in the mouth. In a patient from whom the tongue had been very completely removed, it was found that sensations of sweet, sour and bitter nature were still present. Curi- ously, too, ID sense of salt-taste re- mained. These facts would almost seem to prove that various parts of tongue and palate are set apart for the appreciation of different ''tastes." This idea supports the fact that the tongue possesses on its surface papill@ or taste organs of different shapes and sizes. IL is consistent to assume that such varia. tions in the ends of tho nerves of taste imply variations in their functions .Neu York Teleordm

Great Rain Storms.

In an investigation of 106 cases of rainfall, ranging from nine to twelve inches in eight hours, Professor B. Loomis has found the area of one inch rainfall to have extended at least 500 miles in length in ten cases, and to have exceeded 700 miles in three cases; while the entire rain area was frequently an oval figure exceeding 1000 miles in length by 500 miles in breadth. Con- corning these heavy rains the following facts seem we'll established: First, no great barometric depression with steep gradients ever occurs without considera
 ble rain. This is true not only for the United States, but also for the cyclones of the West Indies, the China Sea, India and the Bay of Bengal. Second-In great rain! storms the barometric pressure generally diminishes, while the rainfall increases. Third-The greatest depres- sion of the barometer generally occurs about twelve hours after the greatest rainfall. Fourth-A great fall of rain is favorable to a rapid progress of the centre of least pressure, while a small rainfall is generally attended by a less rapid progress. It is, however, plain that the rate of progress of low centre depends partly upon other causes than amount of rainfall. - Trenton (N. J) American.

The Brahmin or Zehu Cattle,

This is remarkable breed of cattle originating in India. They have great powers of endurance, are active, will outravel horse under saddle as used in India, make good beef and make an excellent cross for the cattle of the south.
 MT. Albert Montgomery, son of Colonel W. B. Montgomery, of Starkville, Miss. now 1 i've stock merchant at the New Orleans stock landing, some years since imported zebu bull from India. We saw him in New Orleans at the great exposition. He placed this bull on his stock ranch in Texas and finds that the cross with ranch cows is highly satisfac- tory. His partner, MT. Frost, writing to Mir. Curtis, says:
 'I defy any man to name the time when he ever Jaw tick on the pure or half breed Brahmins; or worm from the blow-fy (screw worms, troublesome to ranch cattle in wet seasons). Further than this defy any man to say that he ever saw any of them to die from se- were winter. They are the grandest cattle that exist for southern climates. |" We have not room for the other breeds of cattle described in MT.

Our Great Orators.

During the oratorical century of American history, five great typical ora tors were crcated-Patrick Henry, Daniel Webster, Thomas Corwin, Henry Ward Beecher and Wendell Phillips. Henry preceded the others in time, as he sur passed them all in fire and fury of lan- guage, such as no audience can listen to without being carried out of self poses- sion. He never lad siege-he carried all by storm. One of the ablest of colonial and state governors, man of extraordinary power in civic and execu- tive affairs, Virginia's chief counsellor for long lifetime, he is known to nearly all Americans purely as great orator. His exi ,tence other wise is almost mythi. cal to the school boy who still extracts his finest exhibition speech from Patrick Henry.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
