Okra Cotton.
lChester Reporter. I

On a visit to Rossville last Friday we
were shown, by Mr.. w. S. Westbrook,
an acre of kind Of improved cotton
which he has cultivated for three years
past. It is known as the "okra cotton''
from its strong resemblance, especially
its leaves, to the okra plant. This piece
of cotton was planted on the first day
of June, and in just forty days, on the
10th of July, the first bloom appeared.
When We saw it last Friday, blooms
were thick all over the "patch."
Mr.. Westbrook has nearly POO acres
of this okra cotton planted. He claims,
as its advantages over other kinds of
cotton, its quick growth and maturity,
the ease with which it is picked from
the bolls, and that it endures drouth
longer and with less injury than other
varieties of cotton. Mr.. Westbrook
says it also makes an excellent staple.
The okra cotton was first brought
into notice by Mr.. Alexander, an ex-
tensive cotton planter of Richmund
County, Georgia.

AN EARTHQUAKE IN INDIANA.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, July 26.-The
most distinct shock Of earthquake evel
felt here occurred at S.2S this evening
1t was preceded by rumbling noise
resembling distant thunder. A moment
later a violent quaking occurred, lasting
several seconds. The motion was lateral,
apparently from north to south. Win
dows. ratified and buildings swayed
perceptibly.
The people fled in alright into the
streets. Every open store in the busi-
ness centre and private residences were
e:nptied oftheir occupants. Cougrega-
tions at all churches rushed pellmell
into the streets without waiting for the
benediction. Serious panics occurred
at several churches. At the First Bap-
tist a number of children fell down the
steps and were hurt, none dangerously.
No fatal accidents have yet been re-
ported.

That Wedgefie1d Disbandment.
Anderson Journal.1

The members of the Wedgefield sub
Alliance, at regular meeting held last
Saturday, unanimously resolved to dis
band and surrender the charter. This
action was caused by the entry Of the
Alliance into politics and the arbitrary
actions of the State and County ALI
ances against all who would not follow
the behests of the coat-tail politicians.
The humble members Of the order are
beginning to learn that only dema-
gogues and third-rate politicians are
profiting by the Alliance. 1t has been
entirely changed from its original
channel.

looks for in woman it's lucky escape
for me-" And then, to testify her joy
at her good luck, she began to cry again.

down at the Office, spelling government

ing pen and ink lattice work? Were
they designs for the close barred win

oficer-just the one to fascinate a young
girl. 1 can see she likes him; and why
not? And why should she ever care for
me:"
As for Lieut.. Quire, he was miserable
too; or as near melancholy as his jovial,
careless temperament permitted. The
lieutenant from boy had always been
in love with somebody, and for that rea-
son perhaps had never married anybody
But he was anything but sentimental,
and had that very comfortable faculty,
for one by profession a vagrant, of a
short memory. A traveller should have
the knack of making acquaintance and
forgetting them.
Lieut.. Quire's ideals, including his
ideal of woman, were not high enough
to make him unhappy. He was proud
of his profession, liked life, which he re-
garded as decidedly worth living, and
approved of Lieut.. Quire, whom he
thought a very good fellow. He was not
at all surprised that the ladies acted as
if they thought so also; and when they
told him as much he agreed with them.
But now the lieutenant was troubled
and cast down. Why he could not say.
Perhaps he did not try to find out, for he
was not much given to introspectiOn.
He knew, however, that he had never in
all his travels met so fascinating wom-
an as Florence Bassett. 1t was not her
physical beauty either, delicious though
it was, that subdued him. No; her
beauty was more than skin deep. Ex-
actly what it was he could not tell, but
he found himself dreaming of a fireplace
and crane, and a purring cat by the
hearth, and the prattle of childish voices
in the air. He now recalled with hor-
TOR that only fortnight ago he had APP
piled for duty on foreign station. An!

'Celibacy is negative murder" said
the colonel sternly. There may be

No doubS you think 50, but generally it
has root in some one Of the cardinal sins

They were by this time nearing the
coloners residence, and Windward no
Eoed4hat the light in the library was
burning brightly. Possibly McArdle
saw it also, but if 50 he said nothing
OF it
Step inside, Mr. Bassett," he re-
marked, as they stopped at the door. Il
have some documents on my table for
your use"
To take them Windward followed the
colonel through the hall to the library.
Louise met them at the door.
She, ton, could act her part, but not
always perfectly. At this midnight mo
ment, for instance, Windward noticed
her pale. anxious face as she gave
swift, keen glance at the colonel. But
it was over in an instant; that quick
look was enough. The firm set mouth
relaxed, the brow cleared, her cheeks
flushed and with a radiant smile of
hearts ease she gave them both well
come.
Windward took the package, thanked
the colonel for his thoughtfulness and
kindness, and bidding his friends an
early good morning set out for his lodg-
ings. The night was dark and the streets
were silent, but he did not walk alone.
At his side there still seemed to be a
strong man battling with conquering
YalOr against habits worse than death;
and before him rose the image of a noble
woman, a companion of the soul, a help
meet, a guardian, patron saint. Yes,

partial and attentive, and in spite of GER
tain blemishes Miss Sophia was quite in
clined to be sympathetic and responsive.
She was a good Christian, and no doubt
saw an opening for home missionary
work. Very likely she remembered the
precept to hate the sin but love the sin
ner. At any rate, it was long odds that
if this particular man proposed he could
dispose, and it was surmised, moreover,
that he was disposed to propose.
1t was bright winter morning when
the ladies arrived, and the day seemed
brighter for their coming. Mrs. Bassett
had changed but little, and that not for
the worse, for autumn has It's beauty as
well as spring. Florence was Florence.
1t made Stevens dizzy to look at her.
He despised himself. Bah! to be bach
elor clerk the best years of youth with
such beings in the world; what paltry,
meager life was that! what poverty of
soul it showed! As for Lieut.. Quire,
when he was introduced he fairly stared
at her, forgetting his manners in nature
"Oh, but isn't she a beauty" he ex-
claimed to Sophia the first chance he
could get.
eyes, she is very pretty" she replied
coolly, ''or would be if she had fine
eyes" If she had fine eyes! Sophia was
fool.
Mrs. Elk was more enthusiastic. "Miss
Bassett is lovely" she admitted to her
sister one day when they were alone,
and she added, 'Look out for your
beaux, Sophia"
deed I'm a-looken" retorted Sophia,
in the negro dialect, and with laugh.
They were in the kitchen and hard at
work, though Mrs. Elk was not fit to be
out of bed. But one of the girls was
sick and the other rebellious; and now
there was a larger table to set, and
strange ladies up stairs, and one of them
already installed belle of the house,
queen of hearts, disturbing all plans,
bringing pain, anger, strife and terror.
Is this, then, the mission and Office of
beauty?
Il think Mr.. Quire is acting hate
fully!" exclaimed Mrs. Elk, after a long
pause.
''Oh, don't know" said Miss Sophia,
with a toss of her we'll shaped head.
'Aliss Bassett is the new face, sup
pose"
Il hate a man firt," exclaimed the
matron, knocking the dishes about.
"Oh, don't care" said Sophia, and
then to show her complete Indifference
she began to cry.
1t really was too bad. Here Miss Bas-
sett had been now only four days in
town, and Lieut.. Quire had taken her
to the theatre, and the capitol, and to
the art gallery, and the Smithsonian.
Oh, he was so sly, too! The Bassett
ladies were strangers and company"
and civility demanded some attention to
be paid them. And really he was the
only eligible escort. Windward was
immersed in the claim, making famous
progress, and could not possibly go
sight seeing just that or the next day.
Stevens was tied to his desk all the de-
partment day when if at all the sights
were to be seen. Sophia-plague take
the servants!-was prisoner in the
kitchen. But the lieutenant was free;
free to be a slave.
"Oh, he's so sly" thought Sophia bit
terly. "Of course he asks Mrs. Bassett
too. He knows enough to make love to
the mother. And he is so sorry if she
feels too tired to go. And he asks me to

It Is proverbiar that brothers are not
over indulgent critics of their sisters.
''Well, I'll think It over" sOlilOqUized
the young man, and he did think it over,
and over again, and the longer he thought
the more vexed he grew at the colonel
and Louise and himself.
And while he was thus employed Nc
Ardle and Louise were discussing the
same subject.
Il didn't mean to say this morning"
expostulated Louise, "that I thought he
was really in love with her"
"Well, if he isn't" replied the lawyer,
''there's no harm done; and if he is, it is
high time his friends interfered. It's

with less care than they take in buying

she would have him, but she will take
all his tickets and bouquets, and when
the end comes will drop her pretty eye
lashes and say she regrets so much that
he has so misunderstood her, and hope
they may always be friends. Always
be friendsp repeated the colonel, con-
temptuously. at is one of the idiotic
conventionalities of society for the lady
to express the wish, where love has failed,
that they may always be friends. This
is as if a rose should say: No, cannot
De your rose, but trust may ever De

81 think you Judge her too harshly,"
said Louise, bravely.
''Oh, she's a nice, bright, pretty girl
in her way" Sometimes the colonels
compliments did not praise.
1t was not the sharp air alone that
made Windward's ears burn that night,
for not only the McArdle household,
but the Willises, mother and daughter,
were discussing him behind the back.
"Who is this Mr.. Bassett, anyhow"
asked Mrs. Willis of her sprightly daugh-
ter.
Hes a young man met at the Nc
Ardles," Clara replied.

recommendation" said the matron.
whats his business"
''Oh, believe he has a claim" ex-
planned Clara, in much the tone one
would use in explaining that an &C
quaintance had a cough or any other
disagreeable chronic ailment.
"Well, if that's all he'sgot, wouldn't
let him get much of claim on me"
said the prudent mother.
The trim little maiden looked modestly
down, trihed with bunch of rosebuds
at her throat and smiled, showing her
pretty dimple.
"Iguess Clara can take care of herself"
thought the observant mother, and went
upstairs to bed quite free from anxiety
on that score.
