Farming in the South.

SO much has been said and written
ON the subject Of cotton raising in the
Southern states and the attention of
the general public so continually di-
rected toward the paramount agricul-
tural issue, of the over-production of
this product, that all minor questions
of farming interests have necessarily
been overlooked. There is, however,
another drawback to Southern farm
ers which ranks, in Importance, close
beside the over-abundant production
of the cotton staple. Indeed there
are many who think, and more than
one has said, that one of the greatest
drawbacks to successful farming in
the South is the old style Of doing
business on the credit system. The
practice still prevails to very large
extent of buying on credit and set
tling up once year. AS long as this
system prevails, farming will be un-
profitable. In the first place, when
the planter buys on credit, he is apt to
buy more largely and use less economy
than when he puts his hand in his
pocket and pays cash for what he gets;
and in the next place, he pays from 25
to so per cent. higher prices than
when he pays cash. AS long as this
system is pursued, the planter is
bound to be in bondage. His grow
ing crop is mortgaged, and when it is
harvested, he must Immediately put
it on the market, be the market what
it may.
Thus there are three causes which
operate directly and powerfully
against his prosperity. 1t would be
far better for the planter to go to the
bank and borrow the money, making
his needs as light as possible, rather
than pay the extra prices charged by
the storekeeper for a few months ac-
commodation. The crodit system is
at the bottom of most Of the ills from
which Southern agriculturists have
suffered for 10 these many years.

Rufus Sanders.

This famous writer and already
noted lecturer will make his initial
bow from the lecture platform to a
Texarkana audience at the Y. M. G.

his series Of Texas lectures, the Fort

"Rufus Sanders opend his lecture
tour of Texas at GreenwalPs opera
house last night, and talked of "Boy-
hood Days In the Backwoods" to an
appreciative audience. His lecture is
a running series of funny anecdotes
and stories literally interspersed with
plain horse sense and homely pathos."
The Gazette continues at length to
report extracts from the lecture, which,
despite their homely phraseology, are
perfect masterpieces Of wit and wis
dom, interspersed with deep feeling
and beautiful sentiment. We trust
that Texarkana will welcome him with
q "crowded house." i

Wreck in the Yards.

While the cars of cattle train were
being switched from the Cotton Belt
tracks to the stock-yard yesterday,
two of the cars were derailed. One
of them, loaded with beef cattle for
the Northern markets, left the track
with such force as to completely up
set it, injuring and crippling a num-
Der of the cattle and killing several
outright. In turning over, the door
was struck from the car, allowing
some of the frightened bovines to
escape. The accident occurred near
the Cotton Belt depot, and for time
caused considerable delay in the work
OF local transfer, owing to the manner
in which the track was torn up. A
large force of men were quickly put
to work, however, and in few hours
the tracks were cleared of the wreck
age.

ANOTHER TRAIN ROBBERY.

The California Express No. 8, bound
west on Atchison, Topeka Il Santa
Fe railway, was held up near Cimarron
Kas., at an early hour on Saturday
morning and robbed of about $4,000.
The robbery was bold and daring
one, and gave evidence of having been
accomplished by experienced hands,
Five bandits tagged the train and
forced the fireman and engineer to
accompany them to the express car.
Express Messenger Whitlesey refused
to open the car, and then the robbers
began firing into the door, The mes
senger was wounded, but pluckily re-
fused to open the door. Then the
robbers with dynamite blew the door
in and rihed the car. The express
messengers strong box with its con-
tents was stolen. 1t contained $1,000
in silver and other valuables.
Having secured everything in sight,
the robbers made their escape on
horses toward the Indian territory.
Messenger Whitlesey was not badly
injvred, and completed his run to
Santa Fe. He is the messenger who
stood off the Dalton gang at Red
Rock, l. T., year ago, and narrowly
escaped death at that time by shoot

though the state objected. He said he
never saw anything there in the ma
ture of piece of handle with fresh
break in it. A sensation was caused
by this testimony,
District Attorney Knowlton, on be-
ing asked for the extra piece of han
die, said he did not have 1t and this
was the first time he had ever heard
of it.
Mr.. Knowlton said he desired to
have somebody sent to Fall River to
the Borden house to see if the piece
of wood referred to above was in the
box; all he wanted was justice.
"That's all we want" said Governor
Robinson.
"Well, you haven't any objection to
our sending an officer over there to
see about it2" asked Mr.. Knowiton.
'No such question has arisen yet"
SAID Governor Robinson, "and we will
pass il now unless the court rules
against it,"
The court decided it was not nee
essary to proceed any further just
now.
Annie M. White, the court stenog-
rapher of Bristol county, was called
to tell her story of what took place at
the inquest in Fall River. Asked if
there was some conversation between
the District Attorneys and Miss Bor-
den, Governor Robinson arose and
asked that the further examination of
this witness be dispensed with until a
few explanations could be made Of
the important question which this
testimony brought up. A lengthy
consultation took place between the
Chief Justice and senior counsel, while
the junior counsel for the defense put
their heads together to see when they
could get to Fall River and examine
the box. The result of the consulta-
tion was that Miss White got no fur
ther in her testimony, and George A.
Pettee was called, who developed
nothing important.
Augustus p. German gave some i'm
portant testimony and Mrs. Churchill
was recalled and cross-examined. She
said she thought BridgeHs dress was d
light one, somewhat faded. She did
not remember whether there was any
blue in it or not.
The state having no other witnesses
ready, after the arguments on the ad-
mission of Miss Whites testimony,
the court dismissed the jury until
Saturday, the day following.
Court was called to order at the
usual hour Saturday morning and
the trial was proceeded with prompt
ly. Much of the morning session was
consumed by counsel in their argu-
ment concerning the admisibility Of
Miss Whites testimony, which is yet
under advisement. Saturdays crowd
of spectators was the smallest Of the
week, owing, perhaps, to the prospect
lively long legal discussion.
When Miss Borden appeared she
was, as usual, the cynosure for all
eyes. She took her seat within the
bar, and looked quite fresh and more
interested III her surroundings than
has been apparent heretofore.
Lieut.. A. L. Edison and Officer Med
ley were called, but their testimony
developed nothing of a very startling
interest.
The witnesses who followed the of
ficers were followed at some length,
but their testimony was dull and un-
interesting.
Court then adjourned until 9o'clock
Monday morning.

The North Pole and Equator

Are not more widely distinct than
the standard tonic, stimulant and al
terative, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
and the cheap and fiery local bitters
which unscrupulous vendors foist up-
on the unwary as medicated prcpara-
tons with remedial properties. The
latter are usually composed in the
main of half rectifed alcoholic excl
tants, with some wretched drug COM
bined to disguise their real flavor and
are perfectly runious to the coats of
the stomach. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, on the contrary, has for it's
basis choice spirits of absolute purity,
and this is modified and combined
with medicinal extracts of rare excel.

invigorate and regulate the bowels,
