Reports to the Tradesman, Chat tanooga, Tenn, from all over the South for the week ending February 4, indicate that the cotton planters are aroused to the necessity of re- dueing the crop, and that the area to be planted next season will be much less than last year.

COMING SOUTH.
Looking for Work and MiIder Climate.

AUGUSTA, Ga., Feb. Sword has
 recently reached this city to the eff
 feet that party of several hundred destitute families of Chicago was organizing for the purpose of em- igrating in a body to the South
 where they intended to take up homes in the eastern part of Georgia on land offered by the state for the promotion of immigration. It is further stated that these people are in such destitute circumstances that it is necessary for them to apply to the city officials or to some organ ized charity for the funds needed to transport them to this state.
 Alarmed at what promises to be an influx of the lowest class of un- skilled laborers from the north, the authorities of this and other states of the south are taking prompt ac- tion to discourage such immigration: The immigration bureaus of Atlanta, SavannaF Augusta and other cities are preparing a public statement setting forth iE terms not to be misunderstood the class of settlers which the south is desirous to secm- ing. The removal of the great cot ton manufactories of New England to this state will afford employment to many hundred men, but the state ment distinctly emphasizes the fact that "only skilled workmen need apply There is a growing senti- ment among the planters that it would be found more profitable to divide their plantations into farms of small acreage and dispose of these to settlers at reasonable price, but there will be no room for those who will have to subsist on the charity of his neighbors until the "cotton crop comes in. :"

Good Horse Sense In Rurros.

The Mexican burros ascertain where to dig for water by closely observing the surface of the ground. We had found ill an arroyo sufficient quantity of water to make coffee when we ob- served three burros searching for water. They passed several damp places, exam ing the ground closely, when the leader halted near us and commenced to paw a hole ill the dry, hot sand with his right forefoot. After awhile he used his left foretoot. Having dug hole something over foot in depth, he backed out and watched it intently, To our surprise, it soon commenced to fill with water. Then he advanced and took drink and step ped aside, inviting, 1 think, the others to take drink At all events they promptly did so and then went away, when we got down and took drink from their well. The water was cool and refreshing-much better, in fact, than we had found for many day. There is no witohcraft about the Mex ican burros, but they have good horse sense. .-Pittsburg Dispatch.

A RESIDENCE BURNED.
Mr. George stubbIetield Narrowly Escapes
 Death by the Flames.

The Pine Bluff fire department has been kept busy today responding to fire alarms. At II o'clock a fiue burning out in the residence of Mrs. Smart, on Fourth avenue and Laurel street, called out the departments ,and the hose-carts had just returned t0 their quarters when another alarm was sounded. This time it was found that the residence of Mr. S. Guggenheim, on West second avenue was i'll flames. The firemen worked heroieally but were unable to save the residence, which, with the con- tents Is almost q complete loss.
 A sad accident happened at the fire which come near causing Mir. George Stubblefield the loss of his life. This excellent gentleman was assisting to remove the furniture and valuables from the building, when by some means he got shut up in q room, and blinded by the smoke he was unable to get out until after he had been horribly burned. He finally reached window and jumped out. Friends quickly carried him to his nome near by and sent forphysicians He is now suffering great agony from the burns about his face and hands.
 Mrs. Guggenheita was also severely burned on the arm.
 Just how the fire originated is one of those mysteries that will never be explained. The house and house. hold goods were insured in the Man. chester Insurance Company, but for what amount is not known to the reporter.

A WOMAN HUNG.
She Murders Her Infant Child in Most
 Horrible Manner.

DrRHAM, N. C., Feb, S.-Eleanor Wood, a young woman twenty eight years of age, was executed shortly before noon today for the murder of her infant child. The crime was one of the most diab0lical in the criminal annals of South Carolina and exited widespread comment when it was made public. The inhuman mother desiring to rid herself of the child, who was but a month old, forced the infant to swallow pins which she had placed in the little ones mouth. The child lived several days and died in the most intense agony. After the bitterly contested trial the mother was convicted of murder and sen- taneed to be hanged. The case was appealed to the Supreme Court which tribunal affirmed the decision. Despite the efforts made to secure a communication of the sentence to inn prisonment for life. Governor Carr certified the death warrant as public sentiment appeared to be so strong against the woman. The execution was private.

A HAMS BEST IDEAS.
An Old Student Says They Come Into the
 MinA UnexpeetedIy.

hinJ unexpectedly.
 Professor von Helmholtz, the great German scientist of imperishable fame, not long before his death gave an inter esting review of his life work on tho oc- casion of the celebration of his severn tieth birthday, i'll which, among other things, he reveals some instructive fea- lures of his habits of study and the proc ess by which he won his ideas as we'll as the time and manner in which it was his wont to commit the latter to paper: ''As it has frequently been my lot to have to await in uncertainty the arrival of appropriate thoughts and conceptions, which then would break suddenly and unheralded upon me, have just gained some experience i'll the management of these caprieious ideas. This may be of utility to other students of like phys iological temperament.
 s'The best ideas have often stolen si- lently into the current of my thoughts while the latter were not employed i'll seeking them. know not by what proc ess of unconscious cerebration they were evolved only knew that they were there. Nor could I at first fully esti- mate the importance of such unexpect. ed but welcome visitors.
 These ideas never introduced them- selves when my brain was tired and all most never at my writing table. l had first to turn my problem in all direc- tions and envisage it from every side, and thereafter to consign it to my invol- untary thoughts without even prema- turely attempting to solve it within my self or committing my reflections to writing. Long and patient preliminary investigation was the unconditional pre- requisite to success.
 No matter how urgent the necessity for action, must always give my brain its time to relax from fatigue or strain and await the recurrence of feeling of both physical and mental we'll being and contentment before writing for pub lication. My most valuable ideas have presented themselves in the morning on my awakening from refreshing sleep, but tho favorite period for them has been while I was seeking relaxation by roaming slowly over picturesque hills or through wooded parks in the bright sunlight. The slightest indulgence in alcoholic beverages sufficed to banish them from my grasp. .'-Baltimore Sun.

Feather Superstition.

We have long been acquainted with the peacock feather superstition, but were not aware until a few days ago that it extended to all feathered crea- lures. A young girl admired the beau tiful pigeons strutting, oooing and sun- ming themselves in the covert of the house where she was boarding and ask ed the landlady to sell her pair to take home with her. No, indeed, child, :" was the immediate response. Mot for any money would l sell you those birds When one person gives or sells an ac- quaintance feathered thing, there is sure to be trouble between them, and l do not want to fall out with you.

CAPTAIN HINKEY DEFENDED.
Ex-Judge Rowland Attacks His Critics n
 the Xale Alumni Dinner.


 the Xale Alumni Dinner.
 The Yale alumni of New York city held their annual lovo feast and glerif- cation meeting at Sherry's the othet night with the usual accompaniment of college yells ard music, followed by talks on various subjects. ExJudge Henry E. Howland, the president of tho association, had seme things to say in defense of Captain Hinkey of tho foot ball team after he Iad tieklod his au- dienee by telling how few vacant places of public trust Yalo alumni had left for other men. Referring to football, he said:
 Wellington said tho football fields of England gave them the victory at Waterloo, and although I would ap- proach an editor who takes q different view in deferential attitude and bog his pardon for differing from him, should say that whatever makes \ man strong, active, quick witted, temperate and we'll disciplined is of inestimablo value to him i'll after life, and this is what the well regulated game of foot. ball does. Yale has been great school of instruction in it for the past years.
 ''It is difficult to restrain within tho bounds of moderation the feeling of in- ! dignation at the treatment by certain I newspapers during the past season of the Yale team, one of the best that has ever been on the field, and it's captain, l,a player of any college or any time, The fiings and taunts at them for not follow ing the advice of self constituted men, tors as to with whom and whore they should play were ineessant Misrepre. sentation of their actions and motives were of daily occurrence. Their work was belittled and their pretensions ridi- culed
 Whatever may have been tho req. son, whether conspiracy topunish him for his natural reserve or partisan prej- udioo, there was nothing charged against him that equaled the 'kneeing' that these newspapers have given him, but the whole body of Yale men, who know him, resent the accusations, assure him that they respect him for his sand, bis ginger, his supreme excellence as player and for his qualities as man and say to his critics, who assert that they aim to tell the truth, that they are very bad shots
 ''The Yale men have never fought over in the newspapers their football games, nor have their friends They have left it to others in every case, es. peeially the game at Springfield One happy result of the controversy is proba ble--that another game will never be played in New York, but all of them on the college grounds. ,
 President Dwight said among other things, in referring to the changes that have taken place in college life:
 People say that the present genera. tion of college men is extravagant Things are not going so badly as some people imagine. The conditions have changed. The lives of our sons arc not limited ill many of the ways that we were. The class which graduated 20 years ago spent on the average little more than the class that graduated last summer. 1 rejoice that my children are not going to pass throughawhat di | The improvement of manners and the development of gentlemanly character among college students has been going oD ''

 4 Good BIn Defeat te d.

Senate bill No 19, introduced by Senator Adams, was taken mp. A bill to amend the change of venue law in civil and criminal cases. The bill requires proof to the satisfac ction of the court of facts set up in apalica- ton for change of venue before said change shall be granted by the pre- siding Judge.
 The young Senator from Jefferson made forcible and able argumentin favor of the passage of the bill. He called attention to the abuses exist ing under the present law and how often the ends of justice were defeated by change of venue. He said al- though the bill had been reported adversely by the Judiciary Committee to which it had been referred, he would not withdraw it. The bill had been pronounced Constitutional by two of the best lawyers in the State. He asked that the Senate judge the bill on merit alone. He hoped it would pass. In the course of his remarks Senator Adams said that the lawyers of the Senate ought not to be against the bill because it might, perchance, prove a stumbling block in their practice.-Little Rock Gazette

Therefore when you are what is commonly known as selfish and grasp ing you can silence your conscience by telling it that you are no worse than the unselfish and sacrificing.
