Not Strange brother.

Rev. A. h. Raven, editor of the
Kenan.ville Herald and Digest says:
"How strange is this human ma
ture of ours! What we have plenty
of We despise, and what We lack we
long for. The greatest lu1uries
soon pail upon our senses. We are
speedily surfeited with material
good. The people who have the
most to enjoy IN this life are those
who suffer from ennui, and declare
that life is not worth living"
Not strange brother, it is one of the
Wlsest laws of providence. Life
would not be worth living if it were
otherwise.

Cotton.

The following from the weekly
circular of CIapp & Company,
bankers and brokers, No. go Broad
way, New York, dated October 8,
will be found both interesting and
encouraging to cotton interests.
We think there are many reasons
why the crop OF cotton should be
compared with that of 1884 1--WE do
not believe in making comparisons
with last year any more than IN
making comparisons between trot-
ting horse and dray horse. Com
parsons should be made with
similar years or objects or Subjects.
In 1884 the spring was cold, late
and followed by too much rain or
drought. The crop was more or
less destroyed by worms and other
causes similar to those prevailing
this season: Too much rain east of
the Mississippi River too little west
of the river, as in 1884. The 1884
Government report of acreage was
II, 1872, 3Ss; this season it is Ii. 49,
26e. Port receipts then for Septem-
Der were Sl4, 900 bales; last Septem-
Der they were $4,000 bales. The
crop in 1884 vas 5,706, l65 bales.
Sheppardson's present estimate is
for crop OF $500, 900 bales;
Clapp's estimate is 100000 bales.
Financial conditions in 1884 were
but little better than now. The
Liverpool stock is below million
bales for the first time since No~em-
her, 1891. The Indian acreage
last year was l4,S9s. 900, against
1924, 900 in 1890 (that was tbe
maximum for many years. Egypt
ian and Brazilian cotton supplies
are less than year ago. Ship
ments are larger, cotton reports
more favorable. The amount ahoat
to Great Britain, and British and
Continental stocks, are all below
recent averages and only equal
about ten weeks consumptlVe neeus.
The worlds consumption is about

John Wannamaker, who became
Postmaster General under Harrison
by contributing $50, 900 to the cam
paign fund of the Republican party
and playing upon the religious SEN
timent of the country, has shown
bis cloven foot since he has been
retired to- the rear by the vote of
the American people. Bishop Isaac
Lane, a coIored bishop and the head
of Lane Institute at Jackson, fenn.,
one of the leading institutions for
the education of the colored race in
the country, recently made tour
of the North collecting funds for
the education of deserving young
men who were too poor to pay for
their own education. In the course
of his duties the good bishop found
himself in Philadelphia, and very
naturally called on Brother Wanna
maker for a contribution to the
cause. Bro. Wannamaker grufly
said:
ono. sir, l won't give you a dol
lar The country is ruined. You
colored people had it in your power
to have changed the result of the
last election, but lacking in the
courage of your convictions, you
did not vote the Republican ticket.
The entire Sonlh went Demo
cratic"
"But, Mr.. Wannamaker, said
the bishop, ''did not many of your
Northern states 60 Democratic
also?"
Mr.. Wannamaker made no reply,
and grufiy bowed the visitor out.
Bishop Lane then left Philadelphia
and attended a couple of confer
ences Of the NJ. e. Church South,
in Kentucky and Missouri. where
he was given liberal donations.
Commentary on the above Is I'M
necessary.

The following is from the Floyd
News. This is about as bad as the
burning of gin houses, which Is
creating SO much trouble at present,
IN the western parishes of our state:
We have been informed that an
organization has been effected In the
southern portion Of Chicot Co, Ar.
kansas the object of which is to
force the merchant who have sup
piled the organizes with meat. bread
and clothes to enable them to live
and make crop, to pay them l0rts
per pound for their cotton or make
considerable reductions in their
accounts. There was no law or
other force which compelled these
people to buy goods of the mer-
chants and their demands are unjust
and unreasonable and can only
result in permanently lmpairing the
credit aud standing of those making
them with all fair minded people.
We earnestly hope and believe that
this spirit will not be communicated
TO the leople of our parish.

The storm that swept the gu

The storm that swept the gulf
coast from beyond Grand Isle around
to the Florida coast last Sunday and
Monday week, was the most terrible
disaster that has ever befallen Leu-
isiana. All along the coast there
are a number of small islands occu-
pied mostly by fishermen, and fire.
qnented also by pleasure seekers
during warm seasons of the year.
These islands are low and marshy.
The storm was Of such fury that the
waves dashed in large pillows over
them, sweeping everything in their
course, and leaving utter ruin be-
hind. Upwards of twenty-five humid
red people were drowned, and on
several of the islands everything was
wiped ont of existence. The people
of New Orleans and the southern
portions Of the State have contrib
uted money, food, clothing and
everything necessary to relieve the
suffering. History furnishes no par

A dispatch from Washington dated
October 9Th, says that the silver
Senators are beginning to discuss
among themselves the alvisabiiity
of making an effort to displace the
repeal bin with the federal election
bill when the latter measure shall
come to the Senate from the House,
but they seem to be somewhat di-
vided upon the question. Some OF
the Senators are decidedly opposed
To an attempt to get the bill up when
it first comes over for the reason
that such course might be inter-
preted as an evidence that the re-
sources IN direct opposition to the
repeal bill are exhausted. But as a
great many OF the silver Senators
are opposed to any such position, it
is very unlikely that such course
will be pursued.

President Ingalls,, Of the big Four"

address at the Worlds Fair on Rail-

that the South is just now entering
upon it's period of greatest railroad
activity and development; and pre-
dicted that it would build at least
100, 900 miles of railroad within the
next thirty years, trebling its mileage
and giving it a total OF 10000
miles, or nearly as much as the
entire couatry possesses at present.
