The Bear and the Cornet.

CALHOUN, GA, August 2s.-Mr. J. II.
Rolf, a pleasure seeker from Calhoun,
who is spending q while in the Cohutta
mountains, experienced an adventure
with big bear: on Grassy mountain,
which he will never be likely to forget.
He was roaming across that high noun
tain the other day, weaponless-never
dreaming Of the bear-haunted, dangerous
ground be was treading; but, from that
lofty height, was viewing with poetic ad-
miration, the little valleys and scattering
farmhouses far, far below him. Sudden
" the popping Of twigs reached the ears
OF MI. Rolf, and, instantly looking up, he
was Mortified to behold, only few yards
away, q huge black bear. No knife, no
pistol-nothing had Mr.. Rolf. save a cor
net, which he had brought along to give
comfort when he should become tired OF
wandering and sit down to rest. When
Mr.. Rolf saw this animal, he knew that,
being unarmed, there was nothing to do
but try to escape, and with few leaps he
reached a tree several feet away.
It was fearful moment. Mr.. Rolf had
no more than succeeded in reaching the
first limb than he saw the fearful beast
making towards the tree. With the agil-
ity Of cat, the frightened man went
springing higher up the tree until the top
was reached, apd then he looked down
only to see the bear coming slowly up.
There is an old saying about music
having charms to soothe the savage
beast. Mr.. Rolf thought of it, and he
commenced to blow fearful blasts on his
oornet. Whether the bear thought this
was the signal for the dogs or not, certain
1t is the cornet had soothing effect; the
animal paused, listened few moments
and then scampered of into the swamp,
leaving his intended victim master Of the
situation.

Matrimonial Infellcity In Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ca, seems to be following in
the wake of Chicago in the divorce busi-
mess. One day last week long list Of
suits for divorce were filed In the Superb
OF Court Of Fulton County. Various cau-
ses are assigned by husbands and wives
why they should be granted total separa-
tior1. In one case husband alleges that
bis wife frequently subjected him to bru-
tai assaults. In another wife charges
brutal treatment on the part of her hus-
band. The complainant in one suit shows
violent temper and constant abuse on the
part of q wife, refused to attend to the
household while the husband was at
work, and frequently on coming home
he found no meal ready for him. When
he cooked the dinner the wife threw the
dishes off the table. In another case the
husband treated the wife and mother Of
his little girl with brutality. In a fiji OF
anger he struck her with poker on the
head. At another time he pulled off her
clothes and tore into ribbons q new silk
dress. Divorce Is prayed for by wife
on account Of cruel treatment and be-
cause her husband compelled her 70 keep
a boarding house. In still other cases
cruelty, desertion, infidelity, and in one
case drunkenness are given as the reason
for divorce.

No Southern Man Can Favor the Force
Bill.

Any man in any Southern State who
should knowingly lend his support, di-
rectly or indirectly, to the Lodge force
bill would not dare to look an honest
woman in the face, and honest men would
regard him with scorn. It is the veryn
ture of things that such should be the case.
From an experience in some of the States
more terrible than that of the war, and
from traditions which curdle the blood OF
rising generations, nothing imaginable
could haso dreadful to the white men and
women of the South as negro domination.
There is not even an honest negro in the
the South who has acquired an interest in
the soil and has family to look after
who would not dread it. The friends of
Mr.. Cleveland in the Northern States
need feel no concern about Third Party
South, nor need the waste anathemas
on the Democratic renegades in that See
ton who are trying to play the role Of
Alliance brokers in treating with Repnb-
lican emissaries, for they will be unable
to deliver the goods.-Philadelphia Re

or woman has been added to the list. Sat-
urday morning Mrs. Richard Huston was

Of whiskey were spilled about the floor.
Ia ono of the saloons costly sideboard

The bonds OF ths women were placed at
$500 in each case, sla they had no trouble
in finding plenty of security. The saloon
men say they intend to fight tue !case to
the bitter end, but the friends OF tho wo-
men do not seem alarmed.

The Earth Trembled,

GAINESVILLE TEXAS, August &C.
Three powder magazines, belonging one
each to che Dupont, Rand q Nally, and
Hazard Powder Company, blew up here
yesterday afternoon. There were about
600 kegs of powder in the magazines.
Lightning had been darting through the
skies all the forenoon, and at oclocl; 8
bolt struck one magazine, which explo-
ded, at once wiping the others from the

The shock broke hundreds of windows,
and in some instances ruined houses 9
mile distant. The explosion was heard at
Whiteboro, fifteen miles distant. Cattle
grazing near the magazines were killed
and terribly mangled. Every house
within mile Of the magazine was badly
damaged, and in many Of them the in
mates were thrown on the floor and ssri-
ously Injured. Half dozen persons re-

The last fsw days have generally tp-
proved the outlook for the cotton crop.
The best prospect, as heretofore, came
from Texas, whese picking has begun
regularly in some sections, and where
one report says the crop will be the lar
gest for 10 years, despite daesessed acre.
age. Needed rains have fallen 10 Arkan-
sas, where, although the crop is Late. it
will be about as large as last year.. TheES
is better outlook in the Memphis dis
trict, where the lateness is the worst fault
of the crop. This is due znes!ly to the
recent foods. In Mississippi tAsre has
been too much rain, and some quarters
report the plant not fruiting as it should.
In Louisiana there has been cessation
of the continuous ruins, followed by
cloudy weather, which hasprevented rust
and shedding, 80 the situation there ta
more cheerful. In South Carolina there
is little change from the unfavorable con.
ditions heretofore reported, which make
the crop late and poor. Reports of boil
worms are more frequent than week
ago, but they all say that their work will
not do serious damage at any point. Cat
erpillars are heard Of In both Mississippi
and Alabama, but they have not done
much harm.

On the testimony Of President Smyth,
of Pelzer factory, W. G. Cobb boss weaver
in the same factory and P. D. Wade and
J. E. Adger, Jr., we pronounced the al
legged Snipes affidavit read on the 18th
inst, to be false. We in no wise intima-
ted or thought that the Trial Justice be-
fore whom the affidavit was made was
guilty of the forgery. We stated that the
Editor of tho Advocate 'tknows the ad1da-
Wit Is absolutely false" only after tho
proof was brought out to that end, and
we supposed his mind was as susceptible
of conviction as any fair-minded mans.
and we have no hesitancy in saying that
any fair-minded man or Jury Of men
would 80 pronounce it. We still censure
that Editor for net exposing fraud that
was so apparent, especially where he had
been imposed upon by the forger and
where the sole object was to injure his
political opponents. The point He made on
him was that he should have tho grace
and grit to expose fraud wherever he
sees it. The unsupported statement OF
Snipes cannot be anything less in the
tace of the testimony Of Smyth, Cobb,
