Not long after an Indiana man died from
the effects of putting five packages of cigar
cites day his body turned perfectly green.
Physicians say it was due to nicotine and
arsenical poison. When a man has no
more common sense than to consume five
packages Of the deadly cigarette per day it
Is perfectly reasonable to exp ct to find his
body green after death. No man who was not
excessively green by nature would be guilty
OF anything 80 foolish.

Germany regards speculations in futures
with such phlegmatic seriousness that it is
a wonder she doesn't dethrone the kaiser,
who appears to be specializing rather more
than necessary upon the future military
glory of the empire on the basis of some
what short present supply.

1t would be a great mistake for Georgia
not to be represented at the worlds fair,
and yet very little is being done to have her
represented there. The enterprising men of
the state have a duty to perform in this
matter, and the sooner they begin to prepare
for it the better

Bismarck ought to be elected. Since he
has expressed sentiments favorable to the
Chicago worlds fair he will probably corral
the American vote in his bailiwiok. That's
greatly to his credit. They can now go
right ahead and elect the old man without
any opposition from this side of the pond
if another election should be found neces-
sary

Enthusiasm seems to be literally over

1t is rather late now to discover that the
Druse woman who was hanged in New York

not guilty then somebody seems to owe her

be repaid

The South Bounds Enemies.

The South Bound railroad has some ene-
mics, and they have the means of getting
published special dispatches and editorial
paragraphs hostile to the road. Some of
these publications state that the road has
been sold to the Richmond and Danville.
There is no truth in that statement The
MORNING News said there wasn't some time
ago. Still the statement continues to be
published. The authors of it hope doubt
less, TO accomplish something by it, But
they will be disappointed. The truth will
become known even to those they hope to
deceive.
AS matter of fact there have been no
negotiations between the South Bound and
the Richmond and Danville. 1t is not i'm
probable that the South Bound will use the
bridge of the Richmond and Danville to get
across the Congaree river at Columbia, but
there is no understanding that it will. The
chances are that the South Bound will build
its own bridge across that river. The only
question in the matter is, what is for the
best interests of the South Boundl
The South Bound hopes to have friendly
relations with the railroads terminating in
this city, aud as it will be a short line from
the north it will add doubtless to the
business of the Richmond and Danville and
to the Central.
Whatever dissatisfaction there is in con-
nectlon with the South Bound is outside of
the company, and grows out of the fact that
it is an independent railroad 1t is not
burdened with other schemes.
The South Bound is all right, and will be
completed in time to nelp move the next
cotton crop. 1t will be run in the interest
Of those who have put their money in it,
and the people of the territory tributary to
it, and it will be a frst-class railroad.

No city in the country probably sees
more of the walking delegate and his PEI
culisr ways than New York. One was
arrested there the other day for trying to
extort money from an employer for the
ostensible benefit of his union, even after
court of law had decided that the firm could
not be construed as in anyway indebted to
the union. That sort of blackmau is
becoming so common among men of that
class thasit reflects discredit upon all labor
organizations, and workingmen who com
pose those unions should take a hand in
summarily suppressing such unlawful and
reprehensible practices for the sake of their
own individual good repute as we'll as for
the credit OF their order.

Ia Judge Dundy of Omaha draws the
line. He says lawyers of his court may
rob one another-but strangers must not
be feeced-when they happen to set down
a good hat for moment, and get up
to-fnd it gone. The telegraph tells the
story thus:
Judge vandeveltcr of Cheyenne was in
the United States district court to day
arguing motion for new trial in case
in which he is engaged. During the argu-
ment some one, either accidentally Or i'll
tentionally carried off the Judges hat. The
fact came to Judge Dundy's notice, and he
instructed the district attorney to bring
the matter before the grand jury if the hat
was not returned during the dav. ''This
thing of taking the best in sight is getting
too common and has got to STOP" declared
the judge from the bench. "We must
treat strangers with more consideration.
If lawyers who are acquainted want to rob
one another, that's another matter. but this
court will not allow stranger in the city
to be feeced i'll the courtroom The Judge
added. i'll reply to q question, that his rul-
ing did not necessarily apply to umbrellas,
as he had no uso for them himself.

The merits of the various sheep dips
are undergoing practical tests and vigor
ous discussions just now. The order
that all sheep infected or exposed to in
fection must be dipped has created a
big demand for that commodity. and
people naturally want the best. 1t is
said, on authority of those who have in
vestigated, that Cooper's sheep dip,
which has been quite extensively adver-
tised and seemed to to favorite, is in
furious and its use attended with dam
gerous results. the best dip is said to
be that recommended by Uncle Jerry
Rusk, in one of the publications of the
national agricultural department. This
