REFERRINe to Mrs. Jeanette R.
Walworth's last book "Unclt
scipio," the Natchez Democrat
has the following notice:
"In these columns, n few days
since, there appeared sane lines
lamenting the tendency of many
Southern writers on the press and
in other fields of literature to laud
the old South to the neglect of the
new South; tomourn oyerthe past
rather than rejoice in and develop
the present and build for the flu
tnre. In reading Mrs. Walworth's
latest charming story, 'Uncle
Scipio, we find the idea To
which we gave such lame ex-
preston exhanstively and pithily
set forth. In the mouth of one
of her we'll drawn characters who
is addressing an Eastern gentle
man, she puts the words, as de-
scriptive of the Southern people,
that he 1.-THE 'Yankee') was
among people who "sigh and re-
member instead of hoping and
doing Those eight words en-
bacd the substance of the indiet-
ment that we feebly drew in a
short paragraph on the old and the
new South. 1t is not our purpose
to further dwell on the theme. A
reference to the subject is again
made that We may appropriate, as
a strong prop to our weaker argu-
meht, the opposite thought so
finely expressed in the fitting
language of Mrs. Walworth.r

fight made to save the levees in

Lake Providence on Sunday night,
March 2Sth, the waves from the
wide stretch of river exposed to
the storm dashed over the tops of
the levees with great violence and
flooded the road and that the
greatest CONSERVATION prevailed.
Major Bolivar Thompson, the vet
eran "high water fighter" was in
command and managed his forces
with the greatest skill, so as to
keep back the raging river, and
the Major had Providence on his

AT THE BREAKFAST TABLE.

A famine threatens Ireland. In many parts the crops are irretrievably destrayed by the heavy rain. In the County Wexford, which is considered the richest part of the country, the green crops have entirely failed, and so have the potato crops. On Satur- day, at a meeting of the board of guardians, at Mitchellstown, County Cork, the chairman said: ''The po- tato crop is generally a failure, while the other crops have been hopelessly injured by the unparalleled inclem- ency of the season. We are on the verge of a great agricultural crisis. The outlook in farming affairs is gloomy in the extreme, and to az gravate the condition of affairs caus- ed by the failure of the potato crop, the prices of provisions are consid- erably increased, and before long the people who are supposed to contrib ute to the poor rates would be in work houses themselves

.NEBRASKA'S PROSPERITY.

Senator Thurston, who was still in the city yesterday, had some interest ing things to say about Nebraska I've have great deal more prosperity in Nebraska than MT. Bryan and his followers care to admit" he remarked "The circulation of gold has been al most doubled and the farmers have been the first to feel it. The Bryan ties are saying that it is all luck, but the people know different. Nebraska is not a great wheat growing state, but last fall most of the farmers doubled their wheat acreage, for tunately, and have bountiful crops as a rule. More than S100,000 GOO will come into the state this year in pay ment for farm products. Last year fully S30,0O0,000 was paid in the state toward reducing mortgages, and this year S50,000,0OO will be paid; and I would not be surprised if fifty thou sand farmers will reduce their debts, if they do not settle them in full, this year. We have only supreme court justice to elect this fall, and by shrewd politics Bryan has succeeded in hay ing the democrats, populists and free silver republicans endorse a single candidate, and it is going to be pretty and interesting fight with prosperity speaking on the side of republican, ism. .'-New York Tribune.

COTTON THIEVES BARRED.
A New Law Effectually Stops Pilfer.
 ing Cotton Pickers.

Guthrie, Okla, Sept. 13.-The cotton thief has a slim chance for doing business in Oklahoma this year. In past years the depredations of cotton thieves were so great that the grow CTS realized only half crops. They appealed to the last legislature and a stringent law was passed. Cotton stealing was generally done at night. The plants are tall and so close to- geLher that they make good hiding place. The white bolls are easily seen in the darkness. With cotton seiliaz0 $35 a bale it was not diff cSG for an industrious thief to pick one or two bales during the season. The stealer of hogs or cattle runs the (risk of detection by individual marks on the stolen property, but the cotton thief was troubled with no such fear, as enc load of cotton is not unlike another.
 The cotton thief law, in substance, is that all ginners and buyers of cot ton shall keep book which shall contain a statement showing from whom every load of cotton is received, a description refnd annCunt of same tI(e quarter section of land on which t wac grown, and by whom it was Praised. This record is open at any and all times for the inspection of the public. Ginners or buyers who violate | this law are liable to a fine of not less than $5 ncr more than $25 for i each offense. This makes tracing stolen cotton comparatively easy 1 The same legislature gave protec- ton to buyers from dishonest grow, CTS by passing law which says tha1 every farmer or other person who witt
 intent to cheat or defraud any per son, firm or corporation, plates, sand
 packs, false-packs, or water-packs any | cotton, and every ginneIr of cottor
 who is a party thereto or uses any ar
 tifce to increase the weight of hi: cotton, corn, or other commodity, witt the said intent, shall be deemed guilty
 of a misdemeanor, and on conviction
 shall be fined in any sum not less than $25 nor more than $75 and costs
 It is the duty of any and all weigher:
 to report violations to the courts foI an action, and in case of a refusal O
 any weigher to make such report 1 upon conviction of such failure, tn
 said weigher shall be lined as for {
 misdemeanor, and shall be removed
 from office. Each town where ther'
 are scales has a deputy weigher wh'
 is appointed by the county surveyor.

Much surprise has been expr pressed at BarcelO that Barril the anarch- ist, was not executed. But it now appears that the public prosecutor only asked that a sentence of forty years imprisonment should be inn posed, and the court granted this re- quest, and returned a verdict accord ingly. Barrl admitted before the court mantial that he came to Spain with the intention of assassinating s. Portas, the chief of police, on ac- count of the measures taken by the latter against the anarchists.
 It was expected that at least 1,500 anarchists would say farewell to Herr Johann Most at Fort Wadsworth. S. l., last Sunday. But there were not hundred present. Eighty kegs of beer were provided, but only twenty were consumed. The anarchist lead CT is said to have been discouraged. and will leave New York to take up the editorship of the anarchist Ger man newspaper in Buffalo a sadder if not wiser man. It is satisfactory to know that while the anarchist thrives in some of the European cities, he evidently has no abiding place In New York. The meeting at Fort Wadswoa7th presented a marked con- trast to that which was held at the same place several years ago, when
 as many as 5000 anarchists assem- bled on the grounds, and a soldier from the font distinguished himself by emptying his revolver into a red anarchist flag which was then flying.
 According to the London Standard of few days ago, news has been re- ceived from Baku, the seaport of the ApsherOn peninsula on the Caspian. where naptha abounds, that a new Russian syndicate composed of twelve large petroleum firms, will be formed in 1898 on a ten years basis. The syndicate will control an immense capital, and will be represented in the great markets. It will have tank boats and reservoirs in order to com pete with American oil and with the new Russian Ggsosney field wells. which are largely exploited by foreign firms and seriously threaten the Baku trade.

Death of Greenberry Griffith, a
Former Resident.

A dispatch from Mansfield, Ark,
announces the death of Mr.. Green
berry Griffith, sou of the late Major
Greenberry Griffith, who was dislin-
guished in the War of 1872 as the COM
mander of the Alexandria. Va, Artil-
lery. Mr.. Griffith has resided in the
West for number of years. He was
born in Frederick County, Nd, Nov.
2Sth, 1885, and was a member of a
well-known Maryland family.
His father, Maj Greenberry Griffith,
was born May goth, 1887, and in 1876
married Miss Prudence Jones, daugh-
ter of General Charles Jones, of Ireland,
who raised an Irish brigade and fought
on the American side in the Revolu-
tionary War. Mr.. Griffith's grand
father fought for American Indepen-
dence under General Lafayette, who,
when he visited Frederick in 1924,
recognized and embraced him. His
family is descended from William
Griffith, who settled on the Severn
river in 1875. Later he married into a
family named Greenberry, and the
Griffith family intermarried with
many prominent families in Maryland.
Mr.. Griffith's remains will be brought
East and inferred in the family bury
ing ground in this county.
