who were brought there year ago TO aid

Eastou railroad, ana ordered them to leave.
They told the colored men their presence in
the county was no longer to be tolerated

among the colored men. They promised to
leave the county il they were given the
money to pay railroad fare.
The colored mer are almost destitute.
They have no money, and scarcely enough
food to subsst upon. They have been grow
ing desperate There is great excitement
among the people who live near the camp.
Men, as well as women, are afraid to leave
their homes night.
Farmers have had great difficulty in
preventing the negroes from stealing their
chickens and live stock. A close watch has
been maintained, but this has grown irk-
some.
individual farmers were afraid to make
complaint and 1irally a general raid upon
the camp was arranged Although the col

to say very plainly that the people OF the

of the races. They do not now, and they
never will. To do would justify and in

to say that always have from two to

"You say negroes are lvnched.' So they

Life Was Only nrcary Waste Whom the
 Gcassfoppers Game.

erasshoppers Game.
 It was well on in August, and the drought had done its worst to the corn. It was hot, sultry day, as parohed and dry as all tie days before. The sky was clear but for the usual haze that never left it, the haze of wearing heat About noon my father came up from the field and summoned us to sec something that looked like SHOW The air about the sun seemed filled with snowfiakes, thick, innumerable, and fitting rapidly, as snowfiales do But snovfiakes and the clear atmosphere and the hot day were quito incompatible things. They could not be snoWlakes, but what else could they be? We raeked our brains ill vain to imagine Perhaps it was some kind of a cyclone which had lifted leaves and dust and other such things into the air. But there was no signs of that, and ev- cry one of the snowhalzes was of regu lar size, with no such irregularity as sticks and branches and leaves carried into the air would present.
 We ate dinner in puzzled uncertainty as to what was hanging over us. Bub two hours later it was painfully appar- ent what the snowdakes in the sun real ly were. They were full grown grass hoppers. By 1 o'clock the air was clear and serene, and the grasshoppers were with IS. They were not q few thousand insects, miserable little pests, fitting about in the air and getting into your face when you were out of doors. They were millions upon millions. The trees became brown with them. They cover ed the corn as some insects will literal 1y hide from view leaf sometimes. They were hungry. too, and began to eat leaves, eornstalks, the bark of trees. anything and everything was needed to fill this ravenous army that had fallen upon us from heaven. One went out of doors and stepped OH scores at each stride. They crawled up yeur trousers legs and under women's s skirts. Tht made holes in the cloth fly netting and came into the house. They pumped hard into your face with little whaek- ing sting wherever you went or did not go. Everything seemed alive with them.
 WAS young then and was filled sim ply with a curious wonder. But as 1 think of it now am sure my father must have been quite oyerpowered with Encouragement when he saw what the grasshoppers really meant He saw on the first day that they had alighted to get q square meal and certainly meant to have it. But day after day they lin gered, and new terrors developed in them. They had alighted to lay their eggs. The soft earth in the plowed fields seemed to please them for this purpose, and each day you might see grasshoppers 115 or inches long bor- ing their tails into tho ground until only their heads remained above. There they would stay from morning until night and then go away. If you exam ined this earth nest when the bird had flown, you would find a soft, silky CO., coon filled with innumerable small, pulpy eggs which meant a whole crop of grasshoppers the following spring. - Alpheus Sherman Cody in Independent

COTTON LETTER
Furnished by c. P. Dyal & Co.,, Brokers
 and Commisson Merchants

Liverpool continues very disap- pointing, daily deliveries losing l to , points, while spots were marked down 1-52 with sales of 10000 bales. Some talk of expected bad weather, coupled with rather smaller receipts at Houston and Galveston, prevented our following Liverpool. Some outside buying has evidently taken place, and this, and the covering of shorts, carried our prices 9 points above yesterday. Spot sales were exceptionally good at unchanged prices. Factors sold 9,700 bales and f. 0. b. brokers 2,500 to ar rive. Spot can really be bought here at about sc.. below futures and both speculators and exporters arc taking advantage of their cheapness. The semi-weekly movement at l3 iG-
 terior towns shows the largest re- ceipts for any half-week on record,
 while stocks have increased since
 Friday 26,000 The smaller move
 ment to this port ..is due to the
 recent fire of the wharves and docks
 of the T. P. R. R., which forces that company to divert it's cotton to other ports owing to the loss of their handling facilities. We learn that there is a large accumulation of cot ion at Houston and contiguous points awaiting barge transporta- tion to Galveston. This could indi- cate heavy movement at the latter place in the near future.

Encouraging.
CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-The Farmers Re-
view says Of winter wheat: Wheat in
Illinois is quite generally under a blanket
of snow. The prospects Of the crop are
reported good and the recent snow will
do much to lessen the danger of disaster.
Wheat in Missouri is in good condition
and will he improved much by the recent
heavy snow.
In Kansas the grain has been rather
dry but is now covered with snow and
the attendant moisture will help the
crop. Some of the correspondents re-
port the crop damaged considerably by
the dry weather.
The reports from Nebraska indicate
the condition somewhat less favorable
than Kansas. The crop conditions in
Iowa are various. The general con.
dition is fair.

that he had come into Visalis from the

Evans at present, but it is supposed he
will be spirited to Fresno, where he will
receive immediate sentence, and be
hurried to states prison. Evans refuses
to be interviewed. Morrell is more talka-

counter at Slick Rock. There is great
