Narrowing accounts come from the

isA condition so unprecedented in a
southern community a. TO produce
moro attention than 1t would in any
other portion of the Union, The con
dition is tho result OF the protracted
drouth of the past summer vista

IL singular fact that the Louisiana
sufferers are, almost without exception

in circumstances which would quickly
reduce whites TO extreme misery,
One reason, no doubt, why the negroes
hsve so generally escaped the hard
ship. which have oysrtaken these
white farmers is their migratory habit.
A small white farmer, even a renter,

HARD to Believe.

II il be time, as the tone Of the
European press would indicate, that
the gradual Vitishon of the arbitra.
tiou treaty In the Senate is tho result
OF jealousy of the Cleveland Admluis-
trstion and determination to rob
the President of the honor OF signing
so important aud historical a document
no words are strong enough TO eX-
press the contempt which such pAltry
malevOieEcs merits. 1t 10 hard to
trest such a supposltlou seriously. 1t
seems too small, too pitifully trivial to
be true. The treaty would be but
the beginning of national friendship
which would become proVerbial in
history, aud might well change the
world in time, To be linked with
such all event would indeed be an
honor of which the enemies OF the
President might well be jealous-even
to the extent OF working possible woe
to the land whose interest they would
sacrifice to CRAFTY their petty malice
History never presented such a spec
tacle as this, even in periods of the ut
most degradation of patriotism. But
the attempt ia vain one.
History is impartial, and wonder
ful brightcner of dark places. One Of
lis future pages may be devoted 10
bitter regrets for what might have
been had not malice or ignorance ill.,
tervsned a. Que of those supreme mo-
meuI when a word changes the fate
of nations.

Greenville's prosperity may be
guessed at from the numerous adYer-
tisemsnts of money TO loan on planta-
ton or city prosperity. Two years
ago 1t was almost impossible to Dor
row ON GrsenTille city property. The
inVarlable answer to applicants was
That the agents company positively 70.
fused to advance anything on it. Now,
however, the boot is on the other foot,
aud agents and companies are asking
to be allowed 10 make loans. An
other significant fact 10 that very
much loss money than ever before 10
being borrowed Both planters End

The Schubert Symphony Club de-

used to ma ,e a long run, and we were
pretty SLOW lbout it. While on that line
/ had some very odd experiences. re-
member one day, when we reached tie
junction station, a woman came up TO
me and ask d me to hold the train for
five minutes. She said that her daugh-
ter wanted to take the train to the city.
told her that it was impossible for ma
to hold the train for her.
'''I don't see why, she expostulated

that.
81 tried to explain to her that trains
ran on schedule time, and, like time and
tide, wait for no man. or woman either,
for that matter. But she wouldn't have
it, and finally, just as we were about to
start, she shouted Indignantly:
"'Well. I'll just see about that.
81 laughed, but soon ceased to
laugh, for what did that old woman do
but get right on the track about three
feet in front of the engine. She sat her
self there, firmly grasping hold OF the
rails with both hands, The conductor
siQnaled for me to 90 ahead, as our stop
was over. But couldn't do ii as long
as she remained ON the track, for 1
would kill her certainly. called to the
conductor, and he, impatient at the de-
Law. came up. l explained the situation
to him. He was as mad as l was and
going up to the woman told her to get
off the track.

my daughter gets on board your train. >
''He pleaded with her some more and
finally declared that lie would be com
PEELED to use force.
"'Just you darer nhe cried. III sue
you for damages if you do.
''This opened a new complication,
and we reasoned with ourselves whether
we had better remove her by force. just
as we had determined upon a course OF
policy her daughter came up and seeing
the old woman on the track kissed hel
goodby and got on tho train, while hel
mother called to her:
"'Go ahead, Mary Ann. You have
plenty of time, though, for will sit OF
the track until you get on board.
"And then, when Mary Ann was safe
" on board and we were about ready
to run over the old woman, if necessary
she calmly and slowly got up and waved
me goodby, calling as we pulled ou
of the station:
