blusier and tyranny begun by the Tiilman
admlnis'ration against the banks and the
railroads., don't seem to work somehow.

the United States Court to resist the collec-
lion OF aa illegal and unjust" assessment
1t Will be remembered that some time ago
tho railroads rendered the amounts for
taxes, based on their own returns. These
amounts were refused. The State refused to
accept them, claiming the full am Junt based
on the increased assessments. The result is
that none Of the railroad laxes-except one
or Two very small amouuts-bave been paid.
Meantime The Tiilmau autocracy Mt Column

CAUSE OF THE Low PRICE or CoTToy.-
The Cotton Planters Of the South will find
an easy and reasonable explanation of the
cause which have led to the low prices of
the staple this year in the official report of
Inc statlsticlan Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The prices have not
been affected by the volume Of money in cir
culation, by the absence 6f free silver coinage
or by any other of the many causes alleged
by the economic quacks who have attempted
10 turn the present condition of the farmers

been regulated by the law Of supply and
demand. This point is made clear by the
report OF the statistician, pho says that sin
TWO years this country has produced an
excess above the normal requirements of
more than 1.-TWO million bales" and that the
only possible remedy for this condition of
affairs Is to be found 10 the heavy reduction

written the letter spoken of above TO his SON
He WAS overwhelmed with grief and came
at once to PineviIle to see alb cut his son. He
telegraphed to several points to-day, but

JoNEsSiLLE, March 2l.-Last Fridav
night was one of The coolest nights for .hi5
late in March ever experienced by any of our
present generation. The peach, pear and
plum fruit is much injured. Some early
gardeners have suffered in the loss of early
vegetables, though this damage was light.
owing to the late Spring. l have not heard
OF any complaint about the oat crop, and
therefore don't think that crop has suffered
on account Of the cod snap. The farmers
were about ready to commence planting
their early corn, and some had planted. hui
they will have to defer fu,ther planting for
few days.
Mrs. Sallie James, the widow of Mr.
David James, who lived near Jonesyilie,
died last Thursday. Mrs. Jones maiden
name was Scott, and sister of the late Munro
Scott. She had many years since been n
great sufferer with rheumatism, from which
however, she had recovered. She was
about S2 years Of age, and possessed a fine
mind, aud wss very intelligent and enter

Thinking Wright was joking, the saloon
keeper replied banteringly:
