taking for text the well known story
of the iowa hound who tried.to swindle
his best girl out of her bicycle, prea-
ches sermon on the decadence of gal
lantry. This creature, whom 'twere
base fattery to call "a man, took his
sweetheart TO show, and paid for a
chance in bicycle rattle for her. She
won the wheel, and the Iowa swain,
regretting his generosity, and filed
with covetousness, borrowed the bike
and refused TO return it. The girl
brought suit, and even au Iowa jury
promptly brought in a verdict in her
favor. The Picayune writer moralizes
on the episode as follows;
Perhaps, after all, this is only new
illustration of the old philosophy that
one cannot have ones cake and eat il.

dependence. She has gotten it, aud
with it the necessity for Independent

as a more or less steady prop. Now,
that through the process of evolution
she has acquired back bone, he ex.
poets her to stand alone like other
vertebrate animals.

KEEP 1T OUT.


On Sunday evening some cousierna-
ton was created by n report of an
outbreak of yellow foyer IT Nitta
Yuma, a plantation station about 40
miles south of Greenvlllo, on the Y.
Il NJ. V. railroad Later accounts
leave little room for doubt that the
illness, which now claims four victims
in the family Of Mr.. G. Ii. Blum, at
that place, is he same mild form Of
of the fever so prevalent. The long
time which elapsed between the re-
covery of Mr.. Malcolm Cameron aud
the appearance of the present eases in
the Blum family is quite unusual, the
iucubatiye period Of yellow fever be-
lug 10 10 days, but there is no evil
deuco that the cases have been exposed
to other Infection, and the generally
accepted theory Is that the case of
Malcolm Cameron was the source OF
infection. The compOsure with which
the near approach of the fever is re-
garded is remarkable, The announce
ment that it existed at Nitta Yuma
created hardly a momentsry excite
ment in Groenville, aud not a single
person left the city because of it,.
This is largely due to the sense Of
security produced by the knowledge
that it will be possible to leave the
city at any time for a place of safety,
If people are compelled to contemplate
the prospect of being shut up in all
infected place like rats in hole, with
no trains running and shot guns brist-
ling Oh every country road, it is
natural that they should become panic
struck The only apparent result of
the Militia Yuma scare has been a rigid
tightening of the quarantine, aud life
in Greenyille goes on much as it has
done for four weeks past. The fever
has been kept out of Yicksburg and
Jackson while raging al Edwards and
Clinton, closer to both than Militia
Yuma is to Greenvile; aud there Is no
reason TO believe that it cannot be
kept from US as surely, The wisdom
of maintaining our quarantine has
been demonstrated, and all that re-
mains for Greenville to do is to keep
serene, draw the quarantine as tight as
possible, AMI wait patiently for the |
frost which can not now be more |
than week or two away.

THE long EXPECTED.

On Saturday, October 2nd mob Of
200 students of Baylor College, q
Baptist institution of Waco, Texas,
captured w. e. Brann, ofthe notorious
lconoCIsst, took him 20 the college
campus, and there, at the point OF
two hundred revolVers, they compell-
ed Mr.. Brann to sign a statement de-
cariDg that the article published in
the October Iconnclast rejecting on
the college was false, and that he
would leave town. A rope was pro
duced, and threats of hanging were
freely INDUCED in. The dispatches
state that the action of the students Is
generally condemned in Waco, and
that Brann declares he cannot be
driven from the city, but will continue
his publication The action is not
very surprising. 1t is remarkable that
the editor of the Icouocast has not
been killed or mobbed long ago. In
fact, it is rather q reflection on the
rough and ready reputation of Texas
that he has been allowed to rattle and
strike for so long without retribution.
The utility of such a publication as
the Iconoclast is more than doubtful.
It's reader Is compelled to wonder at
the marvellous verbal pyrotechnics of
its author, even while they excite a
thrill OF indignant disgust. His
gyrations are those Of a vulture In
search Of carTlon.

sII CENT COTTON.


Universal disappointment exists
among cotton growers because of the
failure in the expected rise in
prize. Cotton now is sci ing at a
figure which makes 1t impossible
for the producer to realize pro-
fit, no matter how economical
he may have been, or how chcaply
his crop has been raised. Even six
cents III market, paltry as that sum
seems, is more than it means to the
planter himself However he may
have pinched and schemed to raise
his crop with the least possible outlay,
he can not pay his absolutely neces-
ssry expenses and make any money
out Of it. The steady decline is puz-
zling. 1t follows in the face Of a
general report of injury to crops from
drouth, storms, worms and variety
OF other causes. There is no appar-
ent reason for it because of excess Of
stock on hand. On the contrary, the
mills, both in England and this coun.
try, and depending almost entirely on
this years crop for their material
Indeed, Judging from all surface in
dicstious, it would appear reasonable
to suppose that the crop would COM
mand at least a fair price from the be-
ginning; and in view OF the existing
oonditions-the probable production
of less than ten million bale crop,
the empty and waiting state of mills
and the general revival of trade and
iudustry-it is safe to look for re-
action, and the realization of much
better price before the winter is over.
The Improvement may be delayed
somewhat by the action of mauipUla-
tors, or may come at any time, but
the change ia Inevitable, and must be
for the better. The planters of this

Of planting in this and neighboring
counties is now carried on by new
men, who see clearly the errors which
ruined their predecessors, and by a
few who have been shrewd enough to
hold their own through all the tempta-
tons by which so many fell. These
men, the present owners of the Delta
snds, can afford to hold their cotton
