An Enterprising South Georgia Woman.
There have been stories upon stories
written about the new woman, but this
one from Pierce county, down ON the
Okefnokee swamp, introduces new
phase Of = mans achievement. Miss
Lydia L. Smith, the heroine Of this
story, resides at Fort Nudge, ON the
Waycross Short Line to Jacksonville.
She lives by herself ON her own farm,
and with the help Of hired man cult
Yates, harvests and markets her crops.
Miss Smith is about @ feet inches
high and Of slender form. She is about
30 years old, one would judge from her
looks, although on this point she was
Feticent when questioned recently by
The Morning News correspondent. Miss
Smith has 20 acre farm. She harvest
ed more than 100 bushels of corn and
3 bales Of cotton this year.
"Do you raise sugar Gamer" asked the
correspondent.
Eyes, said she, land raised on one
acre this year enough cane to make 4S0
gallons of sirup, besides $50 worth Of
cane that sold.
"a woman riding bicycle is a sight
that saw for the first time today in
Waycross, said Miss Smith, land it is
a downright shame.
"Is it true that. You are an expert
with the rife and that you have killed
several bears?" asked the newspaper
man.
II am a good shot with the rife,"
said she, "but 1 have never been on
bear hunts, and so never had the privi-
lege Of getting a shot at bruin. Some
body has circulated that report on me
because I am a woman that looks after
my farm and have to ride horseback
over the place with my rifle on my
shoulder, 1 carry my rife sometimes to
kill hawks and crows. / often come
across a covey Of quails or partridges,
and in such an event I rarely fail to
kill few Of them. Don't let on to the
paper that 1 have passed sweet sixteen, "

With an advance of about 40 per
cent in the value of wheat it might rea-
sonably be concluded that the great
change has balanced the various fea
lures which have furnished occasion
for such a pronounced shaping. or 9TH
erwise it is in order to conclude that
the previous position of prices SO long
prevailing was abnormally and wholly
unreasonably too low. So far as the
change liz the worlds situation OF
wheat supplies is concerned it hardly
seems to justify a further extravaganza
movement upward in values. at this
time. It has been pertinently observ-
ed by London writer that the threat
ened deficiency in wheat in India is
prospective and not immediate. This
observation is applicable in other di-
rectians. In our wheat regions there
has been a withholding of grain, but
if the speculative tendency should be
checked there may be expected con-
siderable offerings of wheat in the in
terror where none has OF late been
available.
December wheat at Chicago closed
44c below the highest point of the week.
&c above the lowest point, and 55c
lower than a week ago.
Corn at Chicago for December closed
age below the highest point of the week.
25c above the lowest point of the week,
and &c higher than a week ago.
Wheat receipts at primary markets
were S,235 600 bushels for the week
against 6,624.O00 the preceding week,
and 1898. GOO last year.
Corn receipts were 6,054, 900 bushels,
against 3,555,000 the preceding week,
and 2,744 600 last year.

Before our paper is again placed in
the hands of our readers, this country
will have passed through one of the
most exciting periods in the nations
history. Either the people will have
chosen a president. or the corporations
will have chosen one for them, time
will tell us which. All this week the
great commoner VIM. j. Bryan, will
be fighting the peoples battle, in the
very heart and centre of this union.
He will fight it as no man has ever
fought. He viii be confronted with
forces no human has ever met. He
will look in that length of time upon
more human beings and into more faces
than the eyes of one man ever beheld
in the same length of time. He will
meet every where the hired ruffians
that Hanna has turned loose upon him.
Yet he will meet also the sympathetic
Joyous faces of the multitudes who
will be gathered at every point where
he is to be seen and heard, to greet
encourage and cheer him in the splep
did fight he has made and is making
If there is power which helps those
who help themselves, then this reward
should come to this champion of free
dom, and he should be as he deserves
elected by an overwhelming majority

will win the magnificent race he has

What will the Farmer Do?

The plutocrats tell the farmer that
he should attend to his own business
That he may perhaps be able to run
his farm, but as for running the gov
ernment he knows about as much as
the average horse. Eyeey man to his
trade they say. They-the gold bugs
have been running the country and
they know the lick 1t is done with and
don't want any help from the hayseed-
ers. A farmers place they tell him is
maul1ng rails, but financiers is hand
ling money. Now the farmer seems
displeased with the way it has been
handled, he wants a change. But the
gold bug has sent him word that if he,
the gold bug, catches him, the farmer,
monkeying with the affairs of the gov
eminent again or undertakes to talk
money to him, he, the g. b.. will make
things hotter than a harvest field the
last of June. The insolence of the
manner in which the farmer is address
ed by the average New York paper,
the autocratic railroad magnate, and
the national bank officials, ought to
teach even so dumb an animal as a
farmer, that he is regarded by them
exactly in proportion to the amount Of
money they can make off him. Fur
Their than that they care no more
about him than for the worm they
grind beneath their heels. Next Tues
day the farmer can make it a little
warm for the gold bug. Will he do it!

GRAIN TRADE AND CROPS.
The Cincinnati Price current of las


The Cincinnati Price Current of last
Thursday says
Weather conditions have favored
corn gathering operations, and good
progress has resulted in this line. The
abundance of the new crop, with the
stimulus of the recent advance in
prices, has encouraged a liberal move
ment of this grain. With the progress
of husking operations there is variable
ness in results as compared with ex
pected yield, the general average not
appearing to indicate any reason for
enlarging the estimates.
Wheat seeding operations have been
continued to considerable extent. part
ly because of previous retardation from
moisture, and partly under the more
hopeful outlook for this grain. The
conditions attending the start of the
crop have been unusually favorable.
The week has been one of much ac-
tivity and excitement in the wheat
markets. and closes with an advance
of SIC for December at Chicago, after
losing Al cents from the extreme point
reached on Monday. Various condi
tions and influences have contributed
| to the upward shaping of prices-prom
inent among them being the specula
tive confidence shown in foreign mar
kets. It appears evident that in oul
markets the buying has not been large
liz on the part of the smaller class Of
operators, and that the advance hal
more especially profited the larger
trading interests.
December wheat at Chicago wa,
lquoted as low as 575c, on September s
ranging as high as 6Sfc the last of thu
month. Thus far in October the rang,
for December delivery has been $685.
794c, the daily quotations being as fol
lows.

Mark Hanna has opened the money
foodgates in Illinois this week. He
has hired all the howlers and DULLES
he could to stir up strife and do dirty
work. He has rented theatres in which
to play Mckinley as the hero, and
Bryan as the william, and given every
body free tickets. He has poets to
write verses, and the organ grinder to
grind songs, vocal with praises of ''debt
payer William. He has chartered
trains. or rather his friendly allies the
railroads, have furnished him trains to
carry persons to all republican meet
ings, and he has arranged that persons
be not carried to democratic meetings.
He has declared the day before cleo
ton day to be "Flag day." and has
ordered all the faithful to decorate
with flags, and adopted the flag as the
emblem of Mckinley, and Hannaism.
He has also hired spies and spoilers to
go about in the throngs and see who
can be arrested and who intimidated.
If such campaign Wins woe unto lib
erty and free institutions.

Terre Haute, Ind. October 22.-An
extremely large crowd, Numbering in
the neigh borhood of ten thousand was
addressed briefly by Mr.. Bryan at
Frankfort, but it was not to be con-
sidered in point of size beside, the ire
mendous audience that had gathered
at La Fayette. 1t was, in fact, three
separate gatherings all in the court
house Square, and Mr.. Bryan made
three speeches from the same platform,
oae from each side. There were at
least %, 900 in the aggregate of the as
semblage.
It was reserved for Brazil, the well
known mining center, to exceed in
demonstrative appreciative of the
Democratic candidate any small city
at which he spoke during the day. all
along the streets to the park where the
speaking occurred he was wildly cheer
ed. A thousand miners were in the
escort procession. The nearby neigh
borhood had contributed to the i'm
mense throng that gathered to hear
him, and it is estimated that nearly. if
not quite, $4,000 people composed the
concourse. At SIS the Bryan special
pulled out for Terre Hante, where it
arrived thirty minutes late.
The Bryan day demonstration here
concluded tonight with two speeches
by the silver champion. Silver clubs
and war veterans escorted him from
the railroad depot to the courthouse.
The streets were crowded with people
all along the route. At the courthouse
Mr. Bryan addressed 10000 people and
then proceeded to the Terre Haute
| House, where he spoke to 5000 more.
| At the second meeting Mr.. L. P. Bene-
dict, private secretary of Eugene V.
Debs, presented the candidate a silver
bIotter in behalf of the progressive Or
ganized workingmen of Terre Haute.
