4w YORK, Aug. 3.-This morning
tie youngest nun in tho convent at
Williamsbnie which is IA branch Of the
big Dominican Convent of the Hoy
Trinity, SISTER Angelica, awoke with a
start.
a rough hand was resting upon her,
and she could just make out the form of
a man. He was leaning over her and
pressed her down on the bed In antici-
patton of her attempt to escape. The
girl gave one piercing scream, and then,
with the strength of terror, managed to
break from the fellows clutch.
The nun ran toward the Sister Supe-
rior's room. On her way the man over
took her, aud, thrusting her against the
wall, covered her face with kisses, un-
needing her cries or her struggles.
by this time the Sister Superior and
the rest of the nuns, clad only in their
night robes, had run out of their rooms
to learn the cause of the outcry. "a
When therutlian saw the Sisters about

third. The Sisters were la a state of

Great Britain Storm-Swept

LONDON, Aug. 26.-All night long
tremendous hurricane prevailed through
out Great Britain. Everywhere the tele-
graph wires are prostrated, and it is i'm
possible to obtain anything more than
the most meagre information az to the
amount of destruction caused by the
fearful wind and sweeping rain. In and
about London, and the few outside
places that have been heard from, trees
have been dragged out of the ground
by their loots and the roofs of houses
have been ripped up and hurled into the
streets, lanes and by-ways. AT New
castle the tents of the flower show were
blown away like straws and the beauti-
sul exhibit which they had enclosed was
almost entirely destroyed. A dispatch
from Southport, IN Lancaster County,
on g.. ..is.. ~" reports that the Norw-
egian barque Geiion has been wrecked
of that place. The crew were, however,
saved. Numerous other minor casual
ties are reported. 1t is feared that with
the restoration of the telegraph service
will come the news of serious disasters
all long the coast.

To the Editor of the News and Cou-
rier: There is another phase of the
over-production of COTTON that has not
been touched upon, although it may
have been in the thoughts of many OF
of cotton in the South Atlantic States
is doomed. handicapped at the very
outset by the necessity of purchasing
commercial manures we enter the race
with the Gulf States at a disadvantage.
There Is saying among farmers that
"six cents cotton and one hundred dol
lars year negroes cannot grow in the
same field"
Texas. with her four feet of black
soil, made about % per cent Of the cot
ton crop this past year, and l venture
to say IN five years time Will double
her present yield. Is it fair to call a
halt on Texas or any other Gulf State
because we cannot keep up with the
procession? Labor in the South At
lantic States is getting scarcer and
higher each year, our lands are wasting
away under cotton cultivation, which
requires about thirteen months in the
year, and this despot which has SO long
ferring his seat of empire across the
Mississippi. Let him go, and instead
of bemoaning our fate let us turn our
thoughts and efforts to other produc-
tions.

the ruins of 1866 and worked out deliv
erance with none to help save God, need
not be dismayed at this present out.

sissigpi who can say truly that cotton
as his chief crop will pay him at six
cents, Or even seven cents. 1t will be
II gigantic and iron bound combination
that could reduce the production Of
cotton. We have no right to cramp
the largest efforts Of Texas and Arkan-
sas because our few bales are made at
d loss. We must go to grain and grass
and cow peas and stock, and reduce our
cotton fields down into cotton patches,
and small ones at that. Does it seem
too mild to say that before the dawn of
the next century the South Atlantic
States will not make enough cotton to
supply the mills within their limits,
and that financially they will lie far
ahead of their present status, over and
above the regular increase.

NO DANGER OF A DUEL.
RaleiRh People Ridioule the Idea of
Col. Polk Fighting.

RALEIGH, N. c.. Sept. 3.~-During the
last week dispatches have been sent out
from this city by correspondents Of q
number of Northern dailies about a pro-
posed duel between Col. l.. l.. Polk,
president of the National Farmers ALI
ance, and the editors of the News and
Observer, on account of the scorching
articles which are appearing in that pa
per from day to day attacking the per-
sonal and political history and ambi-
tions of Polk. There is not tho remot-
est probability of duel, however, and
the reports were read with much amuse-
ment by those who know the alliance
president best and who have never re-
garded him as lighting character"
The idea of his sending challenge to
any one caused many a smile among
his acquaintances hereabouts.
Hon. II. r.. Jernigan, one of the edi-
tors of the News and Observer, when
asked about the matter today, express
ed surprise at the reports sent out, and
that he did not anticipate challenge"
from Col. Polk, and certainly was not
losing any sleep thinking over the pros
poets of being shot. Mr.. Jernigan is a
man Of very quiet manners, but of un-
doubted courage, and il President Polk
is "spilin' for fight" he will undoubted
ly be accommodated If he makes appli
cation to that gentleman. But it Is not
believed by those who are familiar with
the Colonels lighting qualities that it
will be found necessary to keep him in
timated to prevent his "spllin'," and
so there is no prospect of a duel.
WHAT THE COLONEL SAYS.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-President
Polk Of the Farmers Alliance returned
to Washington today, without having
passed through the dangers of a duel
with North Carolina editor. Mr.Polk
said to a Star reporter today: II do not
think any one is thinking of lighting a
duel. The whole story is the invention
OF very sensational reporter. / have
received dispatches and letters from all
over the country begging me to show
my moral courage by refusing to fight
a duel. Some Of the letters have come
from Vermont. If any one wants to
fight duel with me have not been in.
formed Of it. The thing is lot of
nonsense"
Speaking of the Alliance, Mr.. Polk
said that it was growing stronger all
the while, and the man who lost sight
or IL for three days was left away in the
rear. The Alliance is getting no set
back. If any of the old parties CO me
out and takes stand squarley on the
Alliance platform, he says, that party
will get the Alliance, but every mem
Der of the Alliance will fight any and
all parties opposed to them. This ia
their platform without reservation.
