Do Yea Speak Coryeetly7

Some of the gravest errors in
speech are those in which common
u.age differs from all authority:
that is, they are words upon wh:ch
the photographers have always
agreed. There are no such wo, DIS
as eol'um (eolumn) and Of tun
(often) in the English language:
they are respectively, kol'um and
ofn. Many words are incorrectly
pronounced from c2relessness in
noticing which syllable has tho &C.
oent mark, thus: al.lop's.thy il
mispronounced aPlo.path.y; ab.do'-
men, abdomen; re-cess' RECESS.
There is the same distinction be
tween the noun rise and the verb
rise, as between the noun use and
the verb use; the nouns in both
cases having the silent q, and the
verbs the soft, 2 sound. Yet YOU
never hear people talking about
the "use" of thing, though ten
out of twelve speak of the "rise" in
stock! Remember, always, that the
noun rise is pronounced exactly
like the grain rice.
The criticism most frequently
made by1our English cousins is
that Americans hatten, or broaden.
the vowcls; but, while not excusing
our own faults, we may be pardon
ed if we retort that we don't bid
people Good mor'nin'," nor talk
about "pudden' (pudding1 and
-" "singin" and "fggcrs," either
of waxwork or those used in arith-
metic. Eeturnhms, however, to
American mistakes: Why do not the
people who say dawg, also talk
about hawgs and frawgs? Dog, log, |
and bog rhyme with hog and frog;

We sincerely hope that every
man ii this county vino plants to-
bacco this season will give it the
careful attention it deserves. Itis
a shame that tobacco is not in this
county, as in many
counties in neighboring
States, attaining the position Of a
"market crop Thousands grow
it; thousands of people make all
the tobacco they consume, and
many make and cure the best OF
tobacco, and yet no one makes
enough, or plants enough, to war
rant him in exporting, or to induce
any one else to purchase for export
The man who will experiment with
an acre or two, and give proper at
tention to culture and curing, par
ticularly on our piney woodlands,
will find that he has struck q go
nanza." Remember that prior to
the commencement of the "cot.
ton BOOM, tobacco was the chief
staple market crop of Mississippi,
and was largely grown hereabouts.

Wednesday afternoon the Senat,
Of the United States agreed to al

the bounty on last years crop. We
learn the particulars from the dis.
patches as follows:
Mr. Blackburn, from the appro.
prlatlon committee offered a new
amendment for the payment of su.
gar bounties. IT provided $23s,
2S9 for the bounties earned prior
to August %, 1894, at 2 cents Der
pound for sugar up to 80 degrees
by the polarisoope, and / 3-4 cents
per pound for sugars over 80 and
under 80 degrees. 1t further pro,
vides 100000 for bounties a,
the rate Of sight-tenths of a cent
per pound on sugar produced from
rom August, 1894 to June 80,
1895.
Mr.. Mills gave notice of = point
OF order against the sugar amend
ment when the debate closed.
Mr.. Henderson supported the
amendment. urging the great ex.
pense incurred by beet sugar pro.
ducers in anticipation of the boun-
ty. Mr.. Manderson said this
bounty was due to equity, and as
IA strict matter of contract.
Telegraphic petitions from New
Orleans were read, urging the pay
menl Of Of the bounty amendment.
The banks and business men urg-
ed that they had given credits of
$40, 900, 600 on the faith that the
government policy as the bounty
would be retained.
Mr} Brice (Dem.) Of Ohio briefly
and pointedly OPT osed the amend
ment. He said he was one of the

instances of the hundreds in nv

of st. Louis, the smaller Southern
city of Atlanta and the little town
of Crowley, La. 1t might seem
ridiculous to place these three towns
in the came category, yet the same
means have been used by each,
and are still being used, to keep
them always before public notice.
The city OF St. Louis, with pop.

consider it beneath its dignity to
advertise its advantages, and

of Atlanta is the second instance.
This city has been the wonder off
the age in growth. Why? Because
every newspaperin that city, every
man, woman and child, works con-
tinually for Atlanta. The papers
and the people stand shoulder to
shoulder for the town. I have seen
business men in Atlanta who per-
sonally hated each other, and who
would not speak on the street, get
up at q public meeting and vie with /
each other in subscribing to any
fund to advertise the city. Certainly |.
