The peanut crop is said to be doomed
this year. 1t began by being cut off
from a fourth to half by the prolonged
dry weather. and now it's the wet
weather that's doing the damage. The
rain found part of the crop on the
ground, dug, but not sacked, and as
there hasn't been sunshine enough to
dry the peas, the result is that both the
vines and the nuts are damaged from
mildew. And even where the peas had
been stacked there is some damage from
the rain being carried by the high wind
into the interior of the stack

cheerrulness OF the Nesrs.

Troubles and cslamities may come In

yet nothing damps the cheerfulness o:
the Afro-American. He utterly refuses,
says the New Orleans Tmes-Demo-
rrat. to believe In hard times, sick
hess or sorrow. He follows literally
the suggestion Of the Master: Take no
thought for the morrow" and looks with
cool surprise at the 'white folks bor.
rowin: trouble" Offer any Of them
work at reduced rate because Of the
stringency of the money market and
mark the independent disdain with
which he or she tiounts the PROPOSE
ton. "Ef l can't get my price can set
down and res myself" And they gen.
orally contrive to live without apparent
suffering during the bitterest of times
that wiring the souls Of Caucasians. II
is fortune in itself to have
such temperament but is It
not questionable whether such
n race characteristic will not
always be bar against their gaining
high civilization, for u certain deep
thinker and observer has truly said;
There is a profound sadness at the
base of nearly all activity OF intellect"
\ medical authority claims that bad
spelling is caused by disease. In GER
tain conditions OF brain and nerves the
patient frequently writes "ot" instead
OF ito" In another slightly varying
form, instead of the" the first letter is
omitted, and so in many other short
words. The malady usually affects the
brain only in connection with words Of
one syllable, but cases have occurred
where longer words have been so dis
,orted that it was difficult TO get their
sense. /, is a question whether one
would be comforted by being told
,ha, bad spelling was caused by uental
disease or whether one would prefer 10
have this lack of accuracy set down to
ignorance or careIessuess. That il is
no, always a proof Of defective educa-
ton is quite certain.

M'KINLBY AT COLUMBUS.
An immense outpouring OF People to Hear
an Address by the President.

IN AHifnShse OutpourinS or People to Hear
an Address by the President.
Columbus, Ohio, September 3.-Pres-
ident Mckinley and party arrived at
10 a. N. as guests of the Ohio State
Board Of Agriculture. They were pre-
coded by Hon. James Wilson, Secretary
Of Agriculture, who joined them here.
With the President came Mrs. McKin-
ley, Senator and Mrs. Hanna, Secretary
and Mrs. Alger, Col and Mrs. Myron
Herrick, Webb G. Hayes and other per-
sonal friends.
Upon arrival the committee on re-
ception appointed by the Board of Agri-
culture, escorted the President between
lines Of police to carriages. The crowd
in the vicinity of the station was i'm
mense, the weather being fine and the
attendace at the fair very large Col
John S. Poland, in command of the
Seventeenth U. S Infantry, and Col.
Colt, in command Of the Fourteenth
Ohio National Guard Infantry, togeth-
er with the Junia Hussars, J. L. Pugh
commanding, received the President at
the station entrance with the
command to the troops to pre-
sent arms. He was then
escorted, the city police leading. to the
Great Southern Hotel, which assigned
rooms appropriate to the occasion.
1t is variously estimated that be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 people were
gathered on the State Fair Grounds
ley, but only a fraction Of this number
were able to hear the brief speech
which he delivered. It was school
children's day at the fair and thou
sands Of little folks were scattered
through the crowd. President Nc
Kinley directed his remars in part to
them.

New Orleans, September "a spe-

Helena, Ark, says: The pearl hunt
ing industry, which has been exciting
the whole country, is spreading all
over tbs end of the State. The St.
Francs River, from the mouth Of the
river to JeffersOnville. is lined with
white people and negroes, all engaged
IN unearthing and prying open the
rIchly-laden mussel Shells. One young
man brought a small bottle of pearls
to Helena to-day, taken from Phillips
Bayou, a tributary of the ST Fran
els. They are darker in color than
the ordinary pearls Of commerce, but
are handsomer shaped and Of good
size. All of the chain Of lakes in
the hitherto impenetrable St. Francis
River bottoms are full of these pearl
bearing mussels. and if they should
prove to be valuable the whole country
will presently be engaged in the bust
ness to the deriment of crop gathering.
One planter told your correspondent
yesterday that he expected to have
difficulty in securing hands to pick
his cotton on account of the pearl ex-

Voelker, q chemist, who had been at one
