It is claimed by those who hold up Mexico as monetary guide that cotton sells for 16 cents a pound in that coun- try. They say that is because Mexico is a silver country. Now, if this be true, why don't the American planters ship their cotton to Mexico? Simply because they can't get any more in real value for it than in New York or Liverpool. The Mexican money is worth only half that of the United States. This would make cents pound. This is more than cot ton brings in this country. bat unfortu- nately Mexico puts a tariff of cents a pound on all cotton imported into her bor- ders.

Glass, in Lin den, was struck by lightning Tuesday night at 7:30 o'clock, and one of his fine mules recently bought from John C.. Coats was instantly killed whilst eating. He fell dead with his head fin the trough. The same flash killed five pigs in the stable and set the corn in the loft on fire. The other mule and two more pigs that were in the stable were not hurt. Mrs. Glass heard the pigs squealing, and, looking out, saw the crib on fire. She gave the alarm. Sheriff Cooper and Assessor Skinner were the first to re- spond, but were followed soon by a crowd of both white and black citizens, who, by hard work, succeeded in saving the building and part of the corn by throwing it out of the crib This is a serious loss to a hardworking and de- serving man.

Authentic Details of the Suicide of MT.
 Gregory of Romulus.
 The Northport Breeze says: Mir Daniel Gregory of Romulus committed suicide last Sunday morning by cutting his throat with his razor. He arose in the morning as usual and requested Mrs. Gregory to get an early breakfast. She prepared the meal and called him to one and eat, and on his not coming went into the bed chamber to look for him. She discovered that he had gotten hs razor, the case being on a table in the room. The family at once began to look for him and found blood in a house just across the road from his dwelling, and fol- lowing the trail of blood soon found his dead body few paces distant He had cut nine ugly gashes in his throat.
 MT. Gregory was a quiet, sober citi- zen, about 60 years of age. He leaves a wife and several children to mourn his untimely death. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to them in this sad bereavement.
 The family and friends had no intima- tion of anything being wrong with his mind, but no doubt the deed was com mitted while in a demented state.
