COMPETING wITE SOUTHERN COT
TON.

India, Egypt and the Transvaal will
add this year about 25 per cent. to their
years crop Of cotton.
When we consider the growing demand
|: for Egyptian cotton in this country to be
used in the finer fabrics, it is plain that
southern cotton planters should take steps
to improve the general quality Of their
staple. The New York Dry Goods Econ
omiist calls attention to the danger from
this foreign cotton. It says:
II is too late to make diversion in the
planting by directing attention to the
growth. Of larger quantity of the Allan
or Peeler cotton. But with the efforts OF
other nations to grow portion, if not all
their cotton, this early opportunity is i'm
proved to remind cotton planters
throughout the South that competition is
being, fostered to their disadvantage, and
they cannot be too quick in devising
measures for more extensive growth OF
the Allan cotton, and any other fine, long
and colo1ed staple that will answer in the
place of the Egyptian. There is ample
time before the planting of, smother crop
to secure much necessary data and seed,
and We feel confident with proper care
extended in the direction suggested the
benefits arising from successful growth
of the long combing staple would be very
remunerative to the planters, while il
would confer q boon upon the cotton
manufacturing industry of this country.
The following from the Boston Journai
of Commerce is on the same line:
The cultivation Of longer -stapled cot
ton-one and one. eighth and one and one
quarter inches in length-should be q
desideratum among southern planters Of
the highest Importance, the spinning OF
finer yarns in northern mills, and the re-
quirements for a cotton that will give
Nos. 40 to 60, creating domestic de-
mand for long stapled cotton which
southern planters should heed. We
ought to raise in the south the cotton
that is being imported from Egypt in
largely increasing quantities. TO do SC
will require constant attention in the
selection of seeds for planting, and the
best of cultivation on we'll prepared soil.
Planters have objected to the cultivation
of e1tra.stapled cotton, because of the
additional care demanded and the less
percentage of lint in the yield of seed
cotton. Whatever the disadvantages may
be- in this respect the better price which
the cotton commands ought to more than
compensate for any differences.
The Richmond Times remarks that the
situation is rendered the more serious be.
cause no duty has been imposed on i'm
ported cotton. This is because American
cotton is exclusively product of the
South, and only southern people can be
injured by foreign competitors. All The
other staples are protected, such as wheat
and corn, in the cultivation Of which
northern republicans are engaged. Their
the Mckinley tariff reduces the duty on
the coarser grades Of cotton gods, these
being the grades largely manufactured
in the south, while the duties on fnel
fabrics are increased for the benefit O
northern manufacturers.
Competition abroad and robbery a
home threatens the southern planters, ant
it is time for them to be up and doing.

PARKsvILLE, EDGEFIELD COUNTY,
August IA meeting of the neighboring
Alliances was appointed for Parksville in
order to meet the district lecturer, John
T. CASTOR, of Aiken, to-day. The Gov
ernor and the Hon. G. D. Tillman we're
also invited to be present. The morning
train brought only the Hon. 6. D. Till
man as the orator of the day. The meet.
ing was composed of the representatives
from Rehoboth. Red Hill, Modoc and
Plum Branch Alliances.
Promptly at IL o'clock Mi. I. P. Rob
ertson, president of the Parksyille ALI
ance arose, and in a few appropriate re-
marks nominated Mr.. W. T.. Holmes, of
the Red Hill Alliance, for chairman of
the meeting. Mr.. Holmes took the chair
and called upon the Rev. Mr.. II. Pooser,
who offered an appropriate prayer for the
occasion. MIR. Holmes then introduced
to the audience the Hon. G. D. Tillman,
who expressed himself as being glad of
the opportunity to meet the neighboring
Alliances.
He wished he had larger audience of
those who had been deluded by tramp
orators and aspiring demsgogues. He
wa3 always ready to express himself on
any subject, He had had the confidence
of shs people for thirty.seven years, and
had never asked for an Office that had
not been given him, iu consequence of
which he would be knaye we're he to
withhold the truth from the people. He
eaid there was pecuniary distress in the
land, and there were four or five causes
for it.
First of which was the growing of too
much cotton. To-day there are 100000
bales of surplus cotton-the market
glutted. Ia the Government responsible
for this j? BE saw letter from Stokes
this morning in which Stokes said the
sub.treasury bill is defunct. People had
no right to ask the Government to help
them out Of trouble they had brought on
themselves. There is no remedy except
in your own actions. The remedy must
he brought about by voluntary action
among yourselves in limiting the number
of acres planted in cotton. You may ask
what can 7 do but plant cotton? There
is always sale for fat pig or good mule,
etc. The second csuse Of distress lies in
the fact that you and your fathers were
on the wrong side Of the late war. The
United States pays $12O, 600, 600 for pen
sions, most of which goes to the men who
conquered you. The merchant is the
Government tax collector. Here he ex-
plaiued the tariff. He denounced Indirect
taxation. Taxes, if honestly disbursed, ,
do not impoverish 8 people much, but
pensioning your conquerers does.

RIDING A GIRAFFE.
The Strange Sight Witnessed by Sport
men in ifricn

The Strange Sight Witnessed by Sports
men in Africa.
On one occasion two sportsmen in
Africa witnessed strange sight. They
were on horseback and had ridden a
few miles up a small stream in search
of game, and they had arrived at a
thick belt of forest, when they were
startled by the sound of breaking
branches and the unmistakable rushing
of some heavy animal through the
thicket
Both men looked to their rifles, and
then drew rein to watch the issue. A
few seconds only had elapsed when two
full-grown giraffes were seen to break
from the thicket and strike out at full
galiop for the plain beyond.
But the two hunters were quite I'M
prepared for the extraordinary sight
that met their gaze as the wild Great
ures flew past them. A large leopard
had bounded on the back of one of
them, while still in the forest, and was
now seated firmly on its shoulders,
tearing at the poor animals neck with
the savage ferocity of its kind.
The other giraffe, mad with terror,
soon left its companion far behind. The
sportsman's dog now Joined in the
chase, following close upon the heels of
the enfeebled animal, already tottering
to its fall. Soon they overlook it and
began barking at his heels, but the gi-
raffe did not give in without one strug-
gle.
Lifting one of its hoofs, it dashed it
backward with unerring aim, striking
down the foremost dog and throwing it
several yards to the rear. But this eff
fort was the last. Jerking its long neck
violently outward, the giraffe rolled
over on one side, and fell heavily to the
earth, severely crushing the leopard in
its fall Both animals were killed by
the two sportsmen.
The leopard, though fierce, is rather
a cowardly animal, and it is not usual
for it to attack game SO large as the gi-
raffe, especially where antelopes
abound.-Golden DAYS.

And my heart Is sick with yearning,
But I'm always well rs soon As swallows come
They brought me in q primrose yesterday;
And when the primroses are blowing,
Then know that winters going;
And the swallows can not then be far away.

clear!
How love his note to follow!
But the swallow. o, the swallow,

With their innocent sweet faces,
And their friskings and their races!

To your bosom. tighter hold me.
Or shall be gone before the swallows come
And the swallows came again across the wave;
And the sky was soft and tender,
With CLEAN OF rainbow splendor,
As they laid their little darling In the grave.
And they often watch the swallows by her

and II Won take down the thermometer
and hang it up in the shade it will grad
ually come to nearly the true tempera-
ture of the air-perhaps SO degrees or
30 degrees. This descent of the mercury
will take long time, but if in
stead of simply hanging the Their
mometer up you tie a string to it
and whirl it violently around your
head it will reach its final temperature
in a very few minutes. Even if the
whirling is done in sunshine and with
great rapidity the direct effect of the
suns rays will be very small and the
instrument will soon record VERY near
ly) the temperature Of the air at that
place. which may on a calm day be lit
tie lighter than that of the air in the
shade.
Even a thermometer which hangs
constantly in shaded place. far from
any very hot or very cold bodies, does
not as rule correctly indicate the tenn
perature of the air at the time of obser-
walton. For the temperature of the air
is almost continually changing-aS
times very rapidiy-and the thermome-
ter, as is evident from what has been
said, will not follow these changes at
all closely unless the wind is blowing
hard.
Within doors, too, and especially in
winter, the temperature of the air may
change rapidly, and the heat radiated
from human bodies, lamps and stoves
affects the thermometer.
In all cases, therefore, the ''sling"
method must be used, if we wish to
know the true temperature of the air.
But, it may be asked. why cOnfine our
attention to the temperature of the air?
The suns rays, the radiation from
stoves, etc, affect us as well as the
thermometer.
If the thermometer feels warm in the
do ourselves?
Simply because the effect of radiated
heat on the thern ometer gives no reli-
able indication of its effect on our
selves. nor are all thermometers, even,
affected alike.
Two perfectly correct thermometers
which agree when ''slung' together in
the shade, or when immersed in a pail
of water, may differ greatly when hung
up in the sunshine. For the amount of
solar heat absorbed by the instruments
varies with their size and shape. the
quality and thickness of the glass and
the character of the ease. To say that
the thermometer stands at 100 degrees
in the sun gives no valuable informa-
ton to anybody who does not know all
about your thermometer and the place
where it hangs. The temperature Of
the air is all that the house thernom-
etcr can be expected to indicate, and it
will not indicate this truly unless the
aforementioned precautions are taken.
