Reports from the rice planters of the
Savannah district show that the acre
age planted this year will be fully that
of last year, and probably greater. In
1894 the acreage was reduced. Consid-
cradle rice is now being shipped from
Savannah to England, a new departure
in this trade.

NUMBER 43.
Took strychnine for Quinine.

Meridian, March 26.-This community
was shocked this morning by the an
nouncement of the death of Mrs. N. A.
Hill, about a years old, and the very
critical condition OF her daughter-in-
law, Mrs. r. S. Hill, which was caused
by taking strychnine instead Of quinine
last night about o o'clock. The women,
it seems, were suffering from cold and
decided they would each take dose OF
auinine. 1t seems the family were in
the habit of buying empty capsules and
filling them themselves, and by some
mistake the poison was substituted in
this instance for the quinine. The elder
Mrs. Hill swallowed very large capsule
and died in great agony in less than
one hour, the efforts Of the physicians
to counteract the effects OF the poison
proving utterly futile. The younger
Mrs. Hill, who took a much smaller
dose than her mother-in-law, convulsed
with great pain, soon became uncon-
scious and but for the timely efforts OF
the physicians she too would have
died. There is an unsolved mystery
CO0neCUeu WIFI bulo ucp1OKdOAo ohoAA
inasm uch as no member of the family
las at any time had strychnine or poison
of any kind about the premises. 1t Is
therefore conjectured that some un-
known assassin placed the poison where
the women would find it. The coroner's
jury failed to bring out any facts that
would serve as a key to the mystery.
Prohibitionists VIII Make q Fight.
Brookhaven, March 2s.-The county
executive committee of the Prohibi-
tion party of Lincoln County met here
today to consider what policy Prohibi-
tionists would pursue in the impending
campaign. 1t was decided to waive
making party nominations for local and
county and beat officers, but a mass con-
vention was called for July Sd to nomi-
nate a representative for the lower
house of tho legislature and appoint
delegates TO district, senatorial and
floaterial district conventions. Tho
avowed policy of the Prohibitionists, as
announced by Chairman Hobbs and
other members of the State executive
committee, is to make fight for the
election of legislature and governor
that will pass State prohibition law
and submit constitutional prohibition
amendment to a vote of the people, with
a special provision for the sale OF alco-
holic liquors for medical and other
essential purposes under rigid regula-

Another Big Fire at GreenvilIe.

Greenv,lie, March 25.-Tbe fourth
destructive fire within ton days occurred
this morning in Greenville. The fire
insurance adjusters were here to fix the
loss of $50, 600 resulting from the fire of
the 10th instant, and now can adjust
the loss of $3.50, 900. When the citizens
were aroused from their slumbers at
o'clock and learned that the Planters
oil mill, one of the mainstays of Green
ville's business prosperity, was doomed
to ashes there was a general feeling of
genuine regret. The plant of the mill
cost S112, 900, and was owned and oper-
ated by citizens of Greenville and vi
cinity. The plant and $50, 900 worth of
oil and oil products is a total loss, while
the 5000 tons of cottonseed may be par
TALLY saved. About 100 men, nearly all
of whom are heads of families, are
thrown out of employment The fire
originated in one of the seed houses, and
is a mystery. The flames spread rapidly,
and, with such fuel as cottonseed and
oils to feed the blaze, it was entirely
beyond control before the fire depart
ment reached the scene. The mill and
stock were insured for $4,000, which
will hardly cover half the loss.

TWO LIVES SAVED.

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City,
H., was told by her doctors she had con
sumption and that there was no hope for
her, but two bottles OF DR.. Kings New
Discovery completely cured her and she
says 1t saved her life. Mr.. Thos. Eggers,
1879 Florida St, San Francisco, suffered
from a dreadful cold approaching con-
sumption, tried without result everything
else, then bought one bottle Of DR.. Kings
New Discovery and in two weeks was
cured. He is naturally thankful. 1t is

HE SAW A FRIEND.
But Missed the Train and Lost II
Wife.

Railway trains are like time
They wait for no man. Heretofore.
il anyone, while taking a trip, sees
a friend at station along the line,
he must make his greeting a very
brief and courteous one, il he
wants to ride on that train.
1t was the case with popular
young man OF this city, who was
returning to San Antonio with his
young wife from Corpus Christi,
where they had been on a pleasant
bridal tour. They had very nice
time until they reached Kennedy.
Here the young man looked out
Of the window to see how indica-
lions were for rain. His eye caught
an old friend, and asking his young
wife to excuse him, he rushed out
to the platform, and the meet.
ing OF the two old friends was
a most pleasant one. They talked
and walked around, and saw part
of the town.
But before they returned to the
station the train had departed.
The young wife was speeding off to
San Antonio, unaware Of her hus.
bands absence. She finally got
lonesome and made inquiries Of
the conductor of "his" wherea bouts.
Receiving no satisfactory informa-
ton, she went through the train
herself to look for him. She found
him not, and even went into the
baggage car, but no, he wasn't
there. She arrived in San Antonio
without him.
He took the next train and came
in yesterday.

THE MOON AND THE WEATHER,
Lunar Influence in Meteorology Is Pro
nOunced All Moonshine.

Lunar Influence in MeteorolOgy Is Pro
nOunced All MoOnshine.
An interesting summary of the
moons influence on the weather is
given in the monthly bulletin of the
weather bureau. The question turns
on the widely prevalent, popular no
ton that the moons changes bring
about changes in the weather; that
moonlight has a certain influence on
the clouds, and that sleeping in moon
light is dangerous. The scientists,
however, find nothing to warrant such
belief, after careful study.
In directing the most powerful lenses
and refectors toward the moon, and
then placing in their focus the most
sensitive Thermometer, nothing has
ever been discovered that could lead to
the conclusion that heat or cold was
produced directly or through reflection.
According to the most delicate expert
ments of the most famous scientists
the heat of the lunar rays which reach
the earth is scarcely twelve-millionths
of degree.
The moons light has been found to
be about three hundred thousand times
less than that of the sun, and. accord
ing to Prof. Young, sky completely
covered with full moons would give
only one-eighth of the light we get
from the sun. 1t thus seems imprOba-
BILE that the moon has any appreciate
meteorological influence. NJ. Camille
Flammarion, the astronomer, says:
THE luminous or caloritic action of
our satellite is so feeble that it by no
means explains the popular preju-
dices." a.
A possible source of influence is the
tides produced in the air by the attrac-
ton of the moon. 1t is unquestioned
that such tides are produced in the at
,, mosphere just as on the ocean, but
here again the most careful tests re-
veal no more changes than would be
expressed by a rise or fall of some hun
dredths of an inch in the barometric
column. The daily changes due to 9th
err causes show variations of from one
half to two and one-half inches, and
the measure of the moons influence
would be in the way of periodic daily
changes. They are thus too slight to
be considered.
1t has been found that at Paris the
maximum of rainy days occurs between
the first quarter and the full moon,
and the minimum between the last
! quarter and the new moon; this has
also been found true at Stuttgart, but
at POitiers, not. three hundred miles
from Paris, just the opposite was found
to be true
NJ. FlammariOn says regarding the
faith of farmers and sailors in the pre-
dictions made during the various phases
of the moon: They only consider them
to within day or two before or after
the change; noticing one fact in agree
ment and neglecting ten which are not
So"
A common saying among sailors is
that the moon eats up the clouds. 1"
They think that the clouds melt away
as soon as the moonlight strikes them.
This is also noticeable in the daytime;
light clouds diminish and disappear in
few moments in consequence of a
change in their height or the tempera-
ture of the surrounding air. In such a
case the moon would have nothing to
do with it, and would only enable us
to see the fact which is not noticed on
dark nights. Herald.

AN INTERESTING GAME.
Houston Won 1t by Heavy Hitting,
Diamond Dots

Houston started the run-getting
in yesterdays ball game, and until
the fifth inning the visitors were
in the lead. In this inning the
visitors went to pieces and the
locals crossed the rubber six times,
tieing the score, 10 to 10. There
were about 400 people pr eset, and
the excitement and enthusiasm in
the grand stand was the greatest
seen in San Antonio for many
day. The locals shut out the
visitors in the fifth and in San
Antonio's sixth we made five more
runs, making the score ID to 10 in
our favor. Here's where the root
ers went wild. Ladies waved their
handkerchiefs and men threw their
hats in the air.
But the seventh inning proved
fatal one to San Antonio.
Mccormick was taken out OF the
box for Houston and Whiting was
substituted. The locals couldn't do
thing with Whiting and went
out in one two three order. In the
visitors seventh there was a grand
display of fireworks. They made
six hits, including a twobase hit
and a home run, all OF which
brought in seven runs for the visi-
tors and placing them two runs in
the lead. Five Of these runs were
earned. The visitors scored again
in the eighth, while the locals were
quickly retired the last three in
nings.
DIAMOND DOTS.
Houston plays the last game of
the present series here today.
The next team here will be Da!-
las, May 9, 10 and IL. 1t is hoped
the locals will be strengthened by
that time.
The Missionaries open at Austin
