A Marrow Escape.

Selma Times.
 Dr. Ward and his two little children barely missed a watery grave in the Ala bama night before last
 The doctor had gone across the river for some purpose and took his two little children with him. As he drove onto the bridge he noticed that boat was coming up the river, and, knowing that his horse was wild. alighted from his buggy for the purpose of taking his chill dren out.
 Just as his feet touched the ground the horse saw the light of the steamer and heard the puffing of the steam, when he made a break. Dr. Ward was jerked from his feet, but clung to the lines and was dragged to the end of the draw.
 The bridge was turned at the time TOT the boat to pass through, and Dr. Ward and his little ones would have been plunged over into the water had not the pole that is always placed across the opening to stop horses been securely in position.
 As it was, the frightened horse came to an abrupt stop at the end of the draw, against the pole, and the little ones were saved.
 The smallest child was asleep and did not realize the danger 1t was in, but the perilous position that they were in was made terribly vivid to the father, who hung on to the lines with desperation and allowed himself to be dragged along the bridge at a rapid rate. But for pr. Ward holding so firmly the horse with its precious load would have gone against the stop with such great impetus as to have broken it or else vaulted over 1t to a watery grave below.
 Dr. Ward had an experience that he will not soon forget, and one that he hopes never to repeat.

 Opelika News.
 Two negro men came to town today and reported to the sheriff that for some time in the Stonewall neighborhood in this county, the people have been greatly annoyed by two young negro fellows who camped in the swamps and woods They carried Winchesters, robbed smoke houses and gardens, stole chickens and any other things that they could put their hands on, but could never be caught. They cooked and ate their meals at their camping place, where feathers, chicken bones and other signs could be found fresh every morning. Yesterday they were bayed by the dogs, but as each of them had a Winchester rifle 1t was thought safe not to approach them without an officer Last night they ap- peared at the home of one of the in formants and scared every one off the place by threats. etc. They will no doubt be looked after by the officers.

The Jameson Trial.

There f. some desire 10 know what
President kruger Of the Trausvaal repub-
lie thinks Of the sentences which have
been imposed upon Or. jameson and the
other leaders Of the Transvaal raid As
told in our dispatches Dr. jameson was
sentenced to fifteen months imprison-
ment. ana the other defendants 10 ten
months each. It Is not yet known wheth-
er they viii be treated as ordinary priso-
ners or viii be granted special privileges
That point has not yet been settled As
they have the sympathy OF the English
people It IS not probable that they viii be
dealt with harshly.
President Kruger has no particular feel
ing OF bitterness against them. although
they led the raid which undoubtedly had
for It's object the overthrow OF the Trans
vaal republic He regards them as only
the instruments OF the South African
Company. OF which Cecil Rhodes was the
leading spirit. That IT was the purposes
OF Rhodes 10 bring the Transvaal repub-
lie under the jurisdiction OF the British
government there does not appear 10 be
room for a reasonable doubt. In the
Transvaal republic there are now more
foreigners than there are Beers. and Il
Or. Jameson and his crowd OF fibusters
had succeeded in reaching johannesburg
the plan for overthrowiDg the Transyaal
government would have been successful,
In all probability
Or. Jameson was the administrator Of
Mataboleland. and had been remarkably
successful in suOjectlng the natives and
bringing order out OF chaos. He made
the country so safe that "a white man
could travel all over it without fear Of
being molested. Since his arrest the Ma
tabeles have revolted and many lives have
been sacrificed. The raid into the Trans
wal republic therefore has been harmful
to England's interest in more ways than
one. although It was intended by the pro-
motors Of it that England should profit
by it.
Cecil Rhodes. the real instigator Of the
raid. has announced 10 the British gov
erililent ms WILLINGNESS 10 30 10 ElhlaHo
and submit 10 trial. but thus far the
English government has taken no other
action against him than to remove him
from his position as chief director Of the
South African Company. 1t may be that
the English government viii consider the
Incident as having been closed by the sem
tencra imposed on Dr. Jameson and his
associates.

The cotton Crop OutIooIs.

1t Is too early yet to say that the cot
ton crop is going to be a very large one
or that the quality Of the cotton viii be
unusually fine All that can be said is that

be large and the quality excellent. The
crop now depends upon the weather. II
that continues satisfactory the planters.
as rule will have no cause to complain
Of either the quantity or the quality OF
the yield.
The planters are just now concerned
about the price What is It likely to be

larger than in any previous season. II
the size of the crop has been already dis

and planters could not afford to raise It
for that price If they had to depend wholly
upon 1t. AS matter of fact however,
they are not dependent upon their
cotton. The great majority OF them
produce the most of their sup
plies. and their cotton, which
is their money crop, provides them with
what money they need. While, therefore,
cotton at cents a pound is not a profit
able crop. and doesn't make the hearts
of the farmers glad. it is bound to be a
favorite one. 1t win continue to be plant-
ed whatever the price may be, with the
hope that the price win advance. There
is no doubt that the south for many years
to come will be the chief source from
which the worlds demand for cotton viii
be supplied, and when prosperity is ~e-
stored in this country the demand for it
will increase so much that the price of it
win increase greatly.
