MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
A ChimerieaI scheme.

The Aberdeen Examiner looks with
disfavor on the scheme of farmers TO
organize for the purpose of forcing the
price of cotton up. 1t says: THE
farmers of Lafayette county are trying
to effect an organization to control the
prices of farm produce, especially
cotton They might as well organize
to control the tides of the sea. All
papers friendly to the farmer are re-
quested to further the movement. The
Examiner as a paper devoted to the in
terests of the farmers warns them to
beware of all such chimerical schemes.
Our advice to each individual farmer is
to look ont for his own personal affairs;
to regard his farm as little world to be
managed and controlled in the interest
of his own pocket and regardless of the
interests of the generality of mankind
in general We never knew q person
to pose as the regulator of the affairs
of the public who did not allow his own
affairs to go to wreck; we never knew
a community in which every individual
was looking out for himself where the
general result was not prosperity. The
problem for the farmer to solve is un-
derstood by vast majority of farmers
1t is to raise upon the farm as nearly
as possible everything necessary for ths
support of the persons and beasts be-
longing to the farm, and for the market
as much as possible ofany staple readily
exchangeable for money, and to trust
to the irrefragable laws of demand and
supply that govern the prices of all
articles that enter into the category Of
the worlds necessaries.

Whipped a Pauper.

An interesting case was tried before
Col. Brooke, justice of the peace, here
last Wednesday. The interesting fea-
ture of the case lies in the fact that the
plaintiff is pauper. Mr.. Waddlington,
who has been an inmate of the county
poor-house for several years. About
two weeks ago Mr.. Waddlington made
complaint to the board of supervisors
as to the treatment he was receiving at
the poor-house, which led to the sur
render of the contract by the keeper,
Mrs. L. Z. Ward. just before taking
her departure, however, Mrs. Ward Sc
cured buggy whip and proceeded to
thrash Mr.. Waddlington for coming to
town without her permission, which
was against the rule. The whipping
was interfered with after it had pro-
crossed far enough to implicate Mrs.
Wards husband, who caught hold OF
Mr.. Waddlington. The pauper brought
suit for damages. The case was tried
by jury and resulted in verdict against
the defendants, allowing Mr.. Wad-
ellington 500 damages. The case was
appealed to the circuit court.-Kos,

WAITING FOR wEYLER.

Some of HIS Uttersnces In cubs Must be

Decided Ills Farewell Remarks TO
Deputatiou of Autonomists Among THOSE

MADRID. Nov. Sat q meeting of the
Spanish cabinet Wednesday, 1t was de-
cided to demand an explanation from
Gen. Weyler of the remarks he made In
his farewell address on leaving Ha-
vana, on Monday last.
Previous to embarking on the steam
err Montserrat, which conveyed him to
Spain, Gen. Weyler received u deputa-
ton of autonomists, and in his address
to them he said in part:
My release from my post and re-
sponsibilities did not surprise me. I've
expected it from the death OF Senior
Canovas, not believing that any polit-
ical leader would be strong enough to
sustain me when the United states
and the rebels were together con-
stantly demanding that Spain should
come to settlement. l count 1t
an honor to have been identi-
fed with the local Spanish
party. But the policy which 1 have
followed was not adopted in obedience
to any political party, but for what 1t
represented on behalf of my country.
Before l came | was well aware of the
patriotic conduct of the volunteers, and
since my arrival l have often seen it
illustrated. have repeatedly advised
the Spanish party not to be intimi-
dated, but to make known to the home
government the outcome of the re-
forms which have been put into force.
As for the future, l offer myself, and
shall always hold myself in readiness,
to serve the party aiming to retain
Cuba for Spain.

How the City of Everetts Cargo of Fooo

How the City of Everett's Cargo of Food
for the Starving was Received by the
British officials in India.
DULUTH, Mimi, Nov. Capt. Alex
ander McDougall, general agent of the
American Steel Barge Co, is in receipt
of a letter from Capt. l.. Laverg, mas
ter of the whaleback steamship City of
Everett, which sailed last summer from
San Francisco for Calcutta with a car.
go Of food for the famine sufferers
of India. The letter is dated
at Calcutta, September Is. In it
Capt Laverg charges that En-
glish officials at Calcutta received
the famine supplies without en-
thusiasm The pilot who boarded the
City of Everett when she approached
Calcutta, told the captain that he
would have done better to have
brought a cargo of rapid-fring guns
with which to kill off the Indian popu-
lation.
Capt. Laverg says that the City of
Everett was treated shamefully at
Calcutta by the government, and
that the treatment seemed es-
pecially out of place in view OF
the presence of the vessel as rep
resenting the generosity and humanity
of the American people. There was
nothing on which claim for dues
could be exacted that was not enforced,
and the officials finding, after ransacis-
ing the papers of the ship, that the
officials at Singapore had exempted the
ship from SOME light dues, promptly
enforced them. The claim was made
that the governor at Singapore had no
authority to exempt the ship from pay.
ing any duties. Before leaving Cal
cutta the English officials even insist
ed on the payment of duties for the

Wheat Adulteration.

We learn that quite a number Of
farmers will plant this fall wheat suffi-
cient to make their bread for another
year. We hope most of them will go
beyond this and plant enough to supply
those of us not engaged in farming
with pure bread. We believe it to be
now practically impossible to get bar
rel of pure wheat flour. Our merchants
handle the best that can be had, and do
all they can to serve their customers
faithfully, but unfortunately they have
no more influence with the great
flour mills than they have with the
avaricious thieves who manipulate the
cotton market. While wheat is worth
one dollar per bushel and corn and
peas, etc, one-fourth as much, the
temptation to mix and adulterate wheat
flour is too much for the great millers.
They claim that because the practice
prevails that all must resort to it or
suffer financial loss. This is not only
unsound as an argument, but is an in
suit to the nsumers.-Columbus Com

Several deaths attributed to hydro

question whether there is such a dis.
ease as hydrophobia. The matter is by
no means settled, from a medical point

that bydrophobia does not exist, except
ss the result of fear, while others con-
tent themselves with the declaration
that it's existence is very doubtful. To

Bishop Gaines. of Georgia, makes the
startling prediction that the entire At
rican race on the American continent
is gradually becoming bleached out. and
that in the process of years the black
face will disappear. Prof. Starr, of the
University of Chicago, says that the
Caucasian race in North America is
gradually changing its characteristics
10 those of the aboriginal Indians.

with climate and social evolution that
prevents any race of people from re-
naming in status quo. and we anxiously
await the next session of the interna-
