would be a still further object lesson in economy. All European countries have smaller coin than cent.
 Our fault as a nation is wastefulness, ex- travagance. A shrewd Boston manufac- turer the other day remarked that at pres- ent he regarded the South as the most pros- porous part of the country simply because she was living within her means and pay ing her debts promptly ill cash-or it's equivalent, paper legal tender. At the North, he said, all our present financial misery is caused by our peoples eztraya- gant standards, their feyerish, speculating life and living beyond their means. la the West it is the same. In San Francisco copper is scorned; car conductors refuse it, or used to. thousand times a year you need the E cent in your shopping.
 Give us back the democratic coin aud let us learn our sorest needed lesson-econ- omy. The E cent was coined from l792 to February, 1857, at the very close ot Presi- dent Pierce's term. Why was 1t discon- tinued?

OVER THE STATE.

 Dr. J. c. Chisholm of Greensboro has located in St. Louis to practice dentistry.
 MT. Anderson Walker of Marengo county has taken charge of Rosemary, ex- Gov ernor Seay's plantation, in Hale county.
 Tuskaloosa Gazette: The L. T. r. club put the capstone on a pyramid, so to speak, of brilliant functions in their Christmas entertainment on Wednesday night. The L. T. F.. s, who have given nothing but series of successes from their organization, on this occasion fairly ecipsed themselves. It was altogether one of the most brilliant, beautiful and most thoroughly pleasant affairs ever given in Tuskaloosa.
 Greensboro Watchman: W. II. Skaggs, accompanied by a typewriter, visited some portions of Hale county last week for the purpose of examining into the alleged election frauds committed in Hale county in the August and November elections. One of the witnesses Skagg had before him told us that his testimony was taken down in shorthand and then typewriter. This witness also said that Skaggs told him he was getting up material for book. The whole thing IS in the interest of Aldrch, the defeated republican candidate for con- gress from the Ninth district, who proposes 10 contest the seat of o. w. Underwood, democrat.
 Application will be made to the leglsla- ture to allow whisky to be sold in beat No. of Hale county. Ali of the county is now prohibition. The Greensboro Watchman regrets the action to again introduce whisky. If this application was granted to beat all the other beats would want similar privileges. It is claimed by the advocates of the application that the law is a nullity, but the remedy for this lies with the courts. The Watchman calls attention to the large number of negroes in the county, who are the most peaceable people in the world ordinarily, but crazed with liquor become dangerous to women and to home. The ladies of Hale should take &C., tion in the matter at once, says the Watch man.

CORN FOR THE NORTHWEST.

Thousands of farmers in Nebraska are on the verge of starvation. The corn crop was a total failure and great destitution pre- vais. It has been humanely suggested that tho South make up solid train of cars loaded with corn and donate it to Nebraska. The South has been blessed this year in it's cereal crops, and in no better way could it testify it's gratitude for the blessing.
 The United States Agricultural Depart. ment reports that the yearly average yield oi corn this year for the whole State of Nebraska was only six bushels acre, and as corn is one of the principal crops of that State the condition of destitution on the part of the farmers has not been unex- pecied and is probably in no way exag- geraied. In the South, on the other hand, the corn crop has been unusually large, the average yield having been over sixteen bushels an acre and tine total crop 50 ,000,- 000 bushels, or nearly one-half of the crop of the fentire country. Because of its abundant blessing of corn and wheat it is especially appropriate that the South at this Christmas season contribute from it's well stored corn cribs and meat houses, at least enough to send a full train load to Nebraska.

A PROVIDENCE editor shot six timee at a negro who came into his sanctum on Christmas night to avenge a fancied insult and missed him each time. A Chicago editor thinks this is a reflection on the journalistic profession. But not so when we consider that it was Northern editor who did the shooting. A negro at night shades in with the darkness and It is hard to draw bead on him. A Southerner al- ways aims at the white of his eyes.
 THIS Christmas, as all other Christmases, has been marked by blood. It is a sad commentary on human nature that this season of peace should be selected for an outbreak of the worst passions that rage in the human breast. All sorts of crimes have been committed and all sorts of casualties have occurred. Perhaps the most peculiar is the fatality that befell an Ohio woman-she was butted to death by a goat. This was truly an ignominious death.

A NEGRESS SHOT.

negress, the wife of General Lawler, was shot in the shoulder by a negro man whose house she intended visiting in An- niston yesterday afternoon. She had gone to the house and was knocking on the door for admittance when the man, thinking it was his small son and wishing to frighten him, shot his pistol through the door just above where the boy's head would be. Instead of the boy it was a woman, and the ball struck her in the shoulder, inficting a serious though not dangerous wound.
 The man, whose name could not be learned, has not been arrested.

PRESCOTT WROUGHT UP.

 The San Francisco Chronicle repub- fishes the following from the Prescott Courier:
 tThings are being run with a rather high hand in not the best localities in Prescott. The kicking in of doors and the seizing against their wishes and dragging around of women by men loaded down with six-shooters is bound to result in bloodshed."
 What the Chronicle thinks of the situation at Prescott is plainly ex- pressed in the head line, 'Nearing the Limit in Arizona" This is unjust to the people of the territory at large. Residents of Prescott may be nasty and prone to bIoodshed over such trifing incidents as men loaded down with six shooters, kicking in doors and carrying unwilling and shrieking women away captive. It must not be charged though that Prescott sets the pace for the rest of the territory else the reputation of Arizonians for meekness and long sui fering is utterly lost.
 Whatever Prescott may do, may the EO0o OlO Oudb CloCW HUI should resort to bloodshed without just and proper provocation.
 The pertubed condition of affairs at Prescott, which seems to portend an im- minence of bloodshed, is perhaps due to the fact that Prescott is just now in the vortex of the most exciting and prosperous mining boom in the history of Arizona. Everything is awhirl, and it is little wonder that even the most staid and conservative of Prescottians should be wrought up to state of ner- vous excitement which might exagger ate the act of kicking in doors and dragging remonstrating women about the streets, into an offense deserving of violent and nasty reprlmand. For the good name of the rest of the terri tory it is to be hoped that the citizens of Prescott will restrain themselves un- til the riot of prosperity has run it's course, when they will see clearly that bloodshed provoked by harmless sport i've performan :es, which the Courier magnifes into high-handed proceed ings, would be reprehensibe and fol- lowed by unavailing regret.
