That's what makes me tell you
what lido, Blew, about usin so much

Till yet l have got a dim and
scatterin. recollection"-Uncle Dan1
went on-''of sayin to myself, Dan1
Rutherford, this mought be a very
durn good time of year for you to move
your washin out of Georgy and go
West. But right then 1 couldn't go
nowheres. I couldn't even so much
as git up and go on back home. So
finally at last come to the conclusion
that if hell had broke loose in Georgy
1 would have to lay low and let her
break, and what was worse and more
of it, would have to stay right there
in jam of the fence on the Wallace
plantation and see the show out.
From all the general appearments
! reckon l must of went to sleep about
that time, cause the fire went out and
that awful hell-roarin meetin broke up.
When at last / come back to my right
mind it was broad open daylight and
the boys all gone. The weather was
cold as blazins and the frost was on me
like the snow on trash pile, you un-
derstand, but was still sWeaten great
drops of perspiration as big as your fist
For two or three days after that seems
to like everything 1 looked at-the peo-
pie, the houses, the trees, the garden
palms and the horse-rack-everything
was knockin the backstep or cuttin the
pigeon wing. whilst the words and the
tune of Hell Broke Loose in Georgy'
was ringing in my ears like the ding
dong-ding of a thousand evenin bells.
And from that time onwards hencefor-
wards and forevermore was weaned
and weaned right from dancin and
drinkin white whisky.

Years ago Dr. R. " Pierce, now chief
consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N Y,
recognizing the fact that consumption was
essentially germ disease, and that REM
edy which would drive the germs and their
poisons from the blood would cure consump-
ton, at last found medicine which cured %
per cent. of all cases, if taken in the earlier
stages Of the disease.
The tissues Of the lungs being irritated by
the germs and poisons in the blood circulat-
ing through them, the germs find lodgment
there, and the lungs begin to break down.
Soon the general health begins to fail, and
the person feels languid, weak, faint drowsy
and confused.
This is the time to take Dr. Pierce's Cold

and poisons from the blood and has sooth-
ing effect upon the dry cough. In cases of
bronchitis the Discovery" is invaluable.

.Hell Broke Loose in Georgy."

DEOFA0 LOOcS AA SOOASS'
1T was back Wonder in Georgy where
the Rutherford generation of people
come from, you understand, when !
got forever and eternally weaned on
from dancin and drinkin mean whisky.
1t was about the time they started up
that quick and devilish old song, which
runs on with a long r1germarole about
Hell Broke Loose in Georgy.' One
night we got gang Of US boys togeth-
er, which you understand and l was
the lead dog of the pack, and we went
off up into the hill country to break
down dance. The dance went on reg
lar and all right so far as can now
recollect. But IN the main time we
rounded amongst US three or four
quart bottles of white whisky, and nat
urallv of course I felt in duty bound to
help the boys tote the stuff. Whilst
the dance was goin on we would run
reel and go out and nibble at the bot
tie, and then jump a jig and go out and
take another nibble.
''But it was on our return back home
that night and up there at the ole Wal
lace plantation that the weanin took
place. One of the Wallace boys was
in the gang and we stopped over down
at the quarter to have little fun with
the niggers, you understand, IN passin.
We then took and built up roarin big
FIRE right out in the middle of the road
and got whole passle Of niger boys
md gals out there to have another
lance, which was powerful like gang
of wild youngsters. By this time had
took on jest a l-e-e-tle bit more OF that
white whiskey than 1 could tote con-
venient, and about the best that
could do under the surroundin circum-
ference was to take it over in jam of
the fence, you understand, and lay
down with it. Right then the whole
entire gang struck up on Hell Broke
Loose in Georgy," some singin, some
rappin, some pickin the banjo, some
playin the fiddle, and everybody play
in the devil it seems to me. L never
had heard that internal song before,
you understand, and didn't know any
thing for certain. But when the gen
eral music started up with the song q
big fat black gal got out in the open
and went to knockin the backstep and
cuttin the pigeon wing around the FIRE.
sTarectly I took ups burnin big fool
notion that the words of the song had
come 70 pass, You understand, and
he'll had bre45sa bre4E5sa esees.fss-s g
right there or the Wallace plantation,
at that. Looks to me like could see
reglar droves of little blue devils comm
up from the regions below and passir
out through the fire. The boys and
gals went right on with the dance, you
understand-never missed a lick nor
jumped cog-but l could see more
devils than people, and more pitch
forks than fddles, whilst everything
was keepin time to the fiery music and
the devilish song of Hell Broke Loose
in Georgy."
MAN sir, it was the most horriblest,
hair-raisin and hobgobliuest sight that
these old eyes were ever wont to see"
and uncle Dan1 had 10 stop long
enough to catch his breath and go on.

An innovation IN street traffic in
the form OF a horseless wagon was
seen in New York Thursday by q
large crowd in Washington Square.
The wagon, which in appearance
does not differ materially from the
ordinary one, has been brought to
this country from Paris, where SINH
lar ones are now III use on the
boulevards, both for pleasure and
for business purposes. A public
test was made Of its capabilities
Thursday, and its performance was
apparently a success, SO far as
speed, easy riding and management
60. The horseless wagon is the in
vention Of Emil Roger, of Paris.
Its an automatic petroleum vehicle,
and rectitied petroleum Ut a density
of 700 is used as moter power.
It is very simple in arrangement
and easily controlled. The moter,
which is of horizontal movement, is
independents, and can be used
for any other purpose. 1t is fitted
with bicycle-like arrangement of
spr0cket wheels and chains on either
side. A crank in front guides the
vehicle with accuracy, and three
brakes keep it under control.

THE COTTON CROP.

Dir. Henry G. Hester, secretary
ofthe New Orleans Cotton Exchange
the most distinguished cotton statis-
tician il ibis country. gives the
cotton crop Of last season at 9,90l-
O5l bales. The bales were larger
than usual, averaging 6 II pounds
more, SO that measured by the STAN
daro Of l893-94 the crop was equal
to one Of 10. O89, 900 bales. Ofthis
no less than OPPOSES bales came
from Texas, which now produces as
much as the whole country did a
half century ago.
One Of the most interesting fea
lures Of Mr.. Hester's report is the
statistics he furnishes in regard TO
the Southern cotton mills. These
used 1855 bales Of cotton during
the season Of l893-94, and 862 1888
bales last season, an increase of
IA, 1858 bales, or oyer 30 per cent.
with every probability that they will
use l 10000 bales or over this year
