CHICAGO, ILL.,, December GA
dispatch from New Orleans says
The cotton firm of v. A. 81 A.
Meyer has suspended with liabilities
aggregating $4,000 00, and assets
$3,000,00H This is the third largest
cotton house in the country and is
supposed to be one of the wealthicst.
They will ask for an extension, and
say they will pay dollar for dollar.
The recent financial panic, the slow
ness of collections and decline in the
price of cotton each had it's share in
the result. The house is composed
of Victor Meyer, vice president of
the Union National Bank, Adolf
Meyer, recently elected to Congress
from First Louisiana District, and
Lussius Meyer, capitalist. The firm
is interested in rs or 80 cotton plan
t%ations, and owned half q dozen of
tho best sugar plantations in the
State. The failure was not announce
cd until after business hours. 1t is
feared hat the wreck Of this great
commercial house will involve scve-
raj other firms. Solomon Meyer is
the resident partner of the New
York branch.

DR.. KOch's Discovery.

1t is the opinion of all physicians
who take anything like a scientific
view of their profession, that the
world is on the eve of some very
startling discoveries relating to the
treatment of disease. The investi-
cations that have been going for-
ward in regard to the origin of dis
ease, and the discoveries made by
Pasteur and Koch have prepared
the way for other investigators.
When Mr.. Edison, to the confusion
of other expcrimcnters, demonstra-
ted that the electric current can be
divided for lightning purposes, he
paved the way for other investiga-
tions and discoveries to an extent
that was undreamed of twenty years
ago. So, when Pasteur proceeded
with his experiments, to be followed
by Koch in n wider and more impor-
tant field, it was inevitable that there
should be n practical revolution in
the theory and treatment of specific
diseases. :
DR.. Koch has already discovered
the bacillus in diptheria and lockjaw,
and has devised a remedy. These
discoveries, however, arc merely be-
ginning, and it is more than probable
that within the course of a few years
the psychologists will have formu-
lated remedies for all the more dam
gorous diseases. ,.E
Sir Morell Mackenzie holds to this
opinion and it is undoubtedly the
view of other leading physicians.
The moment that Or. Koch an
nounccd his discovery new possibili-
tics were added to the science of
medicine. What has already been
accomplished is only the first step
in a series of discoveries that will
practically rcvolutionize the treat
ment of disoaso.-1nGata Constitu-
ton.

An Honest Man.

On Friday j. A. Russell, of Lips
comb & Russell, paid out to a num-
Der of farmers a good deal of money
for cotton. At night he found that
he was 800 short. Mr. Russell could
not remember hat he had given any
n too much money and concluded
that he was 800 loser. Yesterday
morning John Hood, a white farmer,
living on the place of Priestly Max
well, in Pickens County, walked into
the store, handed Mr.. Russell 800
bill and said that when he reached
home he found hat Mr.. Russell had
given him the bill for a310 bill. lie
left his home early yesterday morn
ing and came to the city to return
that which did not belong to him.
Mr.. Russell says that he is proud to
know such a man and during his lopg
business career does not know of a
similar case. Had Mr.. Hood been n
dishonest man he could have kept
the money and Mr.. Russell nor any
one else would never have known it.

The public schools of Oconee will

The public schools of Oconee will
not open until January LIST, 1891.
The public school term should be
augmented by private subscription,
or otherwise, 30 as to make the
schools more efficient. We need
not, we cannot expect the three
month schools to educate our boys
and girls. Since to educate is to
make powerful, our aim should be to
educate u children. Education is
a legacy that homestead exemptions,
money panics, bank suspensions nor
a"y other calamity will impair.
Build up your " home schools.
Keep your boys and girls at home.
Spend the money, consumed in board
ing and other contingencies away
from home, in higher tuition at home.
Your money will aid not only your
own children, but all the children of
your community. No man lives
unto himself. We trust we will not
be understood as opposing Colleges
and Universities, but as opposing the
building up of ourneighboring towns
to the detriment of our own CON-
munities. Teachers, under like cir
cumstanccs, a do as good work in
the country school as they can in the
town school. The influence Of a
good teacher is not bounded by the
length of time he teaches in a given
community, but continues, it may be,
for ages. 1t is economy, from a
financial standpoint, to employ the
best teachers. Much more so is it
economy to employ good teacher.
His influence will be felt for years in
the community in which he labors.
Teachers should have the sympathy
and support of the communities in
which they reside. Hearty support
their work lighter and much more
salutary.
