THE Washington correspondent
who writes his impressions of the
deep water report in the light of the
improved value of real estate at Aran-
sas Pass, is evidently not posted. He
seems to think the commission must
have given Rockport people private
tip, or at least those who are invest
ing in Rockport, else there would not
have been so rapid an appreciation of
property and so large investments.
The investments at Rockport are ex-
plainable on other grounds without
rejecting upon the integrity Of the
government engineers. Rockport has
been judiciously advertising her great
natural advantages and the natural
result follows. Not only So. the in

Of a chance IF escaping long term in the

THE CAROLINA RICE FIELDS.
The Effect of the Heavy Rains on the
Crop Outlook.

Inc En9cC OF the heavy Rains on the
Crop Outlook.
The South Carolina rice planters are not
particularly happy over the crop outlook.
The recent heavy and continuous rains
have interfered greatly with the work of
the planters and promise to set the crop
back considerably. Reports from the vari-
GUS plantations tributary to Charleston are
to the effect that there is a great deal of
water in the fields, and the outlook is that
there will not be very much rice planted ia
March this year, although this Is usually
the principal month for planting
There have been two freshets recently on
the Savannah river, and the water was
just beginning to drain Off when the rains
set in again. There is said TO be also great
deal of water along the Combahee and
Santee rivers.
A Charleston rice dealer, speaking OF the
crop prospect is reported as saying: SOW
ing TO the rain in February the planters
we're unable to plow great deal OF their
land, and hence the planting will DO very
light this month. As "a rule most of the
planting is done IN the month Of March
The planters then ship in the months of
April and May, and in June plant for late
crop The rains will, Of course greatly in
terfere with the March planting, but il it
clears up in few days there won't be much
harm done. A spell OF good weather will
soon make the fields all right again, and
while the crop may be later next season il
will not necessarily DO shorter crop"

,ly will not surprise those who have read

bly, will not surprise those who have read
his books
Oscar Wilde was somewhat prone to
stage nervousness, but, as the major OBJ
serves, he was a poet" Besides, he got
bravely over il.
1t will not surprise most people perhaps to
learn that Mark Twain, when appearing on
not at all affected by stage fright. Gable
is very sensitive, but whether it was the
self-possession Of heart or something
else that carried him through, he has never
suffered from great nervousness.
There are not so many trained lecturers
on the road now. George KEENAN,, the
Russian traveller, has taken to the platform
with success; but he seems no more afraid
of stage fright than he was of Siberian
coli.
The two most interesting individuals
who are struggling with stage fright just
at present are Bill Nye and James Whit
comb Riley, "The Hoosier. Poet" Both
have had a pretty lively tussle with the
demon, it is said by Maj. Pond, who is keep
ing watchful eye on the young and mex
perienced couple. Nye has begun to get
the better of it, and get bis second wind at
the same time; but Riley is still more or less
under its inhueuce.
II what is said of Riley is true, however,
he is the most original specimen Of the suf-
ferer from stage fright extant. He gets
nervous and rgets what he on ght to do in
order to follow the performances, and then
after acknowledging that he has forgotten
just where he is, he will extemporizs on the
spot something better than the thing forgot
ten. 1t would seem from this that while
Mr. Riley's nervousness sometimes causes
him to forget lines that he has often repeat
ed, it does not check his power to extempo-
riza
1t is rather peculiar fact that few of
our public men are affected by this so-called
fright. Orat rs. lecturers and preachers
are, but politicians and statesmen rarely or
never. DAVID WECHsLER
