BUSINESS AT BROWNSVILLE.

Farmers and others Paying Up Their
Dsbts Better Than Ever Before.
THoNAsvrLLz, GA. Sept 29.-One fea-
ture Of this falls business is especially graf
flying. Farmers and people generally are
paying up their debts better than usual.
Bankers are cheerful while their principal
pours back with interest Merchants and
guano dealers are happy, even il the sales
now being made are small, for they too
are reaping the years mercantile har-
vests. The fact is very noticeable
that the farming class IL growing
more and more economical and much
more disposed to go on the cash system.
Even where debts are made the obligations
are treated in . much more business like
way than in the years gone by. Many now
borrow money aud buy goods for cash,
thereby making big saving as the interest
on the money is less than the credit profit
on the goods

for various reasons. In the first place, fight
ing him would not disprove the charge. In
the second place the accusation would need
no contradiction because no one would be-
leve it, not even the accuser himself. In

An Alabama Merchant the Father OF
Her Child Out of Wedlock.
ROME, GA, Sept 29-It is a sad and
pitfful story that came to light In one of
the wards of this city to-day. At o'clock
the coroner held an inquest over the body
of an infant weeks old. The mother, a
girl of is years, was present, bowed with
sorrow. She would not testify. Her
brother told the following story: my sis
ter was ruined by wealthy merchant in
town in Alabama. She tried to cover her
shame. I'VE went to several places, and
finally came to Rome. l never knew
who the father of the child was
until few days ago. Several days ago the
man came to Rome and l hunted for him
with my gun to kill him, but could not fad
him"
Several witnesses we're introduced to
prove that the child died from vomiting.
The county physician thought the infant
had been under the influence Of morphine.
The coroner's jury acquitted the mother.
Edna Andrews, the girl mother, is strikingly
pretty. with well marked features and
golden hair.

THE ITALIAN EPISODE.
Rudini's Reply Considered in the
Cabinet.

The Washington Star says Blaine's
note TO Marquis lmperiali was cabled
atonce to Rome. Marquis Rudlni replied
directing Marquis Imperial to hand it
Blaine. This was done ut &c o'clock
ON the morning OF the 3D.. 1t was in
Italian aud had 10 be translated. When
this was done, Blaine, taking ali the
documents, proceeded TO the White
House, where the cabinet was in ses-
sion an hour, The tenor OF the note
was not made buplic.
Attorney General Miller received u
telegram from the United States dis
trict attorney at New Orleans saying
he was engaged in Investigation of the
recent killing of Italians, in accord
ance with Instructions from Washing
ton, and will forward II report as
promptly as possible. II is said that
the president and his advisers are
much gratified over the receipt Of the
latestmessage from Premier Di Rudni,
which was the subject OF considera-
ton at the cabinet meeting. They are
inclined to think it indicates an early
settlement Of the diplomatic war, The
milder tone assumed by Di Rudini in
the message to Marquis lmperiali is,
il is considered. due to the clear state
ment of our governments position by
Secretary Blaine, supplemented by the
able presentation of the case at Rome
by Porter, United States minister. 1t
is reported that at the cabinet meeting
a letter was read from either Baron
Fava, or Marquis Imperiali, indicating
the recall Of the minister was merely

Progress in Street Lighting.

Lighting the streets OF large cilJ
in olden times was n far different
thing from lighting the streets OF the
present time. In 1861 the streets -
London were directed to he lghtcG
with candles or lanterns by every
householder fronting the main roGd
frorl nightfall to 8 O'Clock, the hour
of retiring to bed.
In the last year OF King Charles lis
reign, one Edward Uenng obtained
the right to light the streets with Ian
terbs placed over every tent door, iron
6 o'clock on moonIess evenings until
midnight, between October and April.
During the reign OF Queen Anne, in
july, 7OS, Mr.. Michal Coke intro
duced globular glass lamps with oil
burners, instead of the former glim-
mcring lanterns. In 1916 an act was
passed which enjoined every house
holder to furnish n light before his
door from to IL O'Clock at night,
except on evenings between the seventh
night OF each moon and the third aft
er it reached the full.
In few years a company was
formed to light the street from
o'clock until midnight, each house
holderwho paid poor rates being re-
quired to contribute for this purpose
six shillings year.
Gasight, at its introduction in the
beginding OF the present century, pre-
sented such novel spectacle to the
eyes OF the foreign ambassadors that
they were vain enough to imagine that
the brilliant lamps We're part OF n
general illumination to celebrate their
arrival.
Electricity is now taking the place
of gas, but the change is made far less
rapidly in London than in even the
cities OF comparatively small popula-
ton in this country
The Coming Power Of Electricity.
A great deal is said in these days
about the coming power OF electricity,
