a dollar, had an alteration with L. c.
Mathew, mixer on the ranch of William
Hall, where Starkey got his milk, and
stabbed Mathew. Starkey is now in jail in
consequence.

doctored the milk sold to Starkey so that
it would turn sour on the customers
hands, and he says that Mathew was paid
to DO this by one of the rival milkmen.

turn he charges Starkey with adulterating
his own milk. He says that Starkey put
three gallons of water with ten gallons OF
milk, and that the milk soured because
dirty cans.were used.

of Bright's disease and diabetes will
wreck the goodIy bark of health if it is
allowed to drift rudderless upon them.
The bladder, too, if inactive, and judi

be whelmed by the quicksand of disease.

These have a tendency to react prejudi-

The Midway Plaisance was the most
far reaching and demoralizipg of all the
wicked attractions that have cursed this
country. Under the guise Of permitting
the visi. ors t. the WORLDS Fair to see the
customs and habits of the people of all
nationalities, various foreign companies
were licensed to carry on shows so
improper and indecent as to shock
the moral sense of all beholders. In
stead Of illustrating the customs
of foreign nations, as was advertised,
Midway became the centre of the talent
ed high kickers and disreputablo men
and women from even the far off isles of
the sea. The spectacle vitiated and de-
bauched public. sentiment and was the
only disgraceful thing that attached to
the Worlds Fair. Bad as it was in
Chicago, there was some pretention
of decency amid the glare OF lights
and flourish of trumpets But
the evil of the Midway Plaisance has
been felt more in the imitators, who,
lacking even low order of talent, have
sought to make money by vulgar and
indecent exhibitions in moral fairs in
every State in the Union. We had hoped
that conservative old North Carolina
would escape the infection, but,
from all accounts, the side-shows
in the Fair this week have been most re-
voting in their vulgarity and indecency,
so much so that on Thursday night, by
unanimous vote, the State Agricul-
tural Society ordered the Secretary to
drive them from the grounds as he would
abate nuisance.
All this comes from the glorifcation
of the Midway Plaisance, and The
licensing of vulgar imitators with
out exercising care to examine into their
dement's. 1t is to be hoped that we
shall never again see such exhibitions as
disgusted every visitor to the Fair this
week. In every other particular it was
highly creditable, and reflected credit
upon the management.

The Progressive Farmer of last week
sa1s editorially: 1--WE believe it is now
safe to advise the farmers in the cotton
belt to hold their cotton as long as pos
sible. If you must sell, then put it on
the market sIowly-a little at time.
Such advice has not always been safe,
and we have hesitated, but think it is
now settlad that the crop will not be
over 5000, 600 bales, probably less, and
the demand will be for eight or nine
million bales. The most liberal govern
ment and export reports show that the
condition is not above IS, and frOsts and
storms may soon bring it below that
estimate
