THE Sun SHINES HOT.
BOLIVAR County Demecrat.)

| BOLIVAR County DemocFat)
Mr.. Walter Silers is out in card
against the New York Sun. He Is
mad. He makes no effort to conceal
it, either, and the fading rays of the
sun are permanently eclipsed by
| Words of anger and resentment
Hot and hummDg like hornet
We are positively assured in this
interesting card with becoming and
impressive gravity:
That the Governor aud his staff did
not ride in barouche or buggy or wa
CONS OF any other kind.
That they did not visit the animals
IN THE PARK.
That they we're not on the comfort
able settees of tne Marlborough Hotel
at least on TUESDAY afternoon.
And above all, the disbolical and
| heartless insinuation that "Our Com
mittee" was not dressed as becomes q
bevy of southern gentlemen, is forev-
er LAID at rest.
The deep-dyed villain Of the Sun
| lied like sea cook, it seems, about the
instructive conversation between Col.
| Sillers and Congressman Williams, for
the Colonel states to us most positively
that he did not say In words or sub
! stance
"Suh, my honored sub, how else,
sub, should a Southern gentleman
dress|
In fact, the twain had no CONVEX
sation whatever about Southern
dress, or dress of any other kind,
| whether OF man or woman, and on
this point the Colonel naively remarks
| with all the Srdor of au ardent nature.
THERE WAS NO OCCASION FOR IT"
We of Rosedale know this and the
base insinuation to the contrary has
undoubtedly received just and mer-
tied rebuke.
The card is significantly silent 1t
| will be noticed o. 10 that 'look Of born
craftsmanship that comes as natural
10 your Southern legislator rs the
honied injection of the voice"
And Rs to "the INDECENT petentiAlity
in the folds of their very frock coats"
And as to the SNOWY rufles" aud
A FEW OTHER THINGS, that it is I'M
necessary here to mention.
So, we suppose there is sort of plea
of guilty TO these soft impeachments,
or at least that a man can discuss them
in quiet aud discreet way without
serious offence.
AS TO the balance Of the article,
which has been placed by the Colonel,
under the ban, we hasten TO say that
"as tor our single selves we would sS
leave not be as live to- believe a single
werd of 1t and we NEST earnestly hope
as Tom Sawyer well remarked:
That I'VE may die and rot" If after
reading bis statement, We ever repeat
it for truth or otherwise.
Well not play in that back yard,
thank you, now or ever.

s,oO.0Oo WORTH OF RAIN.

A magnificent rain fell on Sunday
soaking the county from the Missis-
sippi to the Yszoo river, aud esilmA-
ted to be worth OF least 100000 to
the planters. Cotton all over the
county was small of course, but was
not suffering materially from the
drouth. Germ was scarce, small, and
beginning to dry up, as well ~ to
tassel premaiurely, and other crops,
hav ing been planted much later than
usual, had not bad time TO become
ablished before the dry weather set
In. On many places corn, peas, ana
even cotton, had moi had any rain al
All since they were planted. The
moisture left in the soil by the over
flow uourished them for time and
kept them growing, but the dryness
and intense heat had baked the earth,
and cotton WAS growing very slowly,
not having had time enough to make
roots to enable it to withstand The
drouth The rain of Sunday last has
already infused new life into the sur
feriug crops, and the growth OF all
agricultural products during the last
three DAYS has been extraordinary.
In the words of a plAntsr "you can see
the cotton grow The rain was not
followed. as was feared, by injuriously
cool weather and, while there is no
man SO hard to please as the cotton
planter in tue matter OF weather, he
would be a most exacting peIson who
could cnlicise the past few days ad-
versely. A feeling OF hope and conf
dence Is daily gaining strength, and
there 10 scarcely doubt no" that
with normal fall aud no unlocked
for disaster, the county will be safe at
esst to pay expenses and have a little
to spare-wbich is more than could
have beeu hoped for in view of the
dismal prospects with which planters
faced the wreck and decentralization

Extinct Species of Plants.

The number of species of plants
which have become extinct is very
large, and yet generic groups rarely
dieout. COMPREHENSIVE show
that much the greater proportion of
plants whose remains have been pre-
served in a fossil condition from
earlier geologic periods belong to the
genera which are represented by
plants now living, although many of
these existing plants differ specifcal-
ly from the earlier ones. From this
it seems that new types are outgrow-
ing the old ones constantly and take
their place in the general scheme of
life.

A special from Rodney, Miss, says
"This week has witnessed one of ths
most remarkable religious REVEALS in
the history of this part of the State
A priest from Natchez, named Father
AcNamars, came here to lecture to
Protestants. The church has been
crowded to Sufocatisn every night,
and the Protestsnts of this town have
been completely captivated by this
wonderfully eloquent priest, who came
to them, be said, 10 remove from their
minds false impressions about the
Catholic church. Just at present the
priest seems to own the town, and is
to lecture to non-CItholics throughout

PERILs OF COCAINE.
its Victims Become Melancholy and
Morally irresponsible.

WoTdllI HTOSpOHSlplos
Four years ago a member Of the
board of lady managers of the worlds
fair, respected, bright, clever, bust
ness-like, with plenty of money; to-
day old, poverty-stricken, mentally
and morally irresponsible through in
diligence in cocaine.
Such is the story of Mrs, Annie G.
Myers.
The full history of Mrs, Myers
downfall is a sad one, and those who
we're associated with her in the days
of the fair are loath to give details,
but all of them unite in saying that the
woman's case now demands that she
be restrained and confined in some
hospital or institution.
Annie c. Myers is the widow Of a
lake captain, and before the worlds
fair used TO accompany her husband
on his voyages, and it was said she
could manage a boat as well as he
could, She was r woman Of prepos-
sessing appearance and at the meet
ings of~the board of lady managers
always took a prominent part and was
we'll liked. 1t was said at the time
that she chad money to burn"
Mrs. Myers is said by her friends
to be the victim Of a certain catarrh
cure which has been exploited recent
" in the papers as being responsible
for the downfall Of a North side man.
1t contains cocaine, and the persons
who take it as a medicine IN many
instances become hopeless victims of
the drug.
For the last two years Mrs. Myers
has drifted around, getting into
trouble in Detroit, studying law, do
ing housekeeping or begging from her
friends, who gave out of pity until
they saw their gifts promptly used for
the purchase of more cocaine. DIR,
Frances Dickinson, who has long
known Mrs. Myers, says she considers
the woman utterly irresponsible and
needing restraint. "She is a victim
Of a catarrh cure said DIR. Dickin-
son, (which has made her slave to
cocaine"
DR.. Dickinson warmed to her
theme and in the course of converse
ton went for physicians as a body,
ut is a queer thing to say, because |
myself am q DOCTOR" she said, "but |
honestly believe the physicians of
this land arc responsible for as many
ruined lives as the saloon keepers
When patient is in pain, instead of
searching for the seat of the disease
they are in a hurry and give morphine
or cocaine or some other opiate and
ease the sufferer, who, nine times in
ten, becomes firmly addicted to the
use of the opiate on recovery and in a
short time is beyond redemption. /
have seen too much of that; not only
women, but business men by the
dozen, depend on opiates, which, OF
course, in time prove their ruin. The
man or woman who uses morphine or
cocaine becomes quite irresponsible,
mentally and morally,"-Chicago

THE "WUNK" DOG.
It Is Of a Species Raised in China for
Food.

OOQs
There has always been a certain
amount of doubt in exclusive circles
of society concerning the desirabllity
of introducing choice bits of dog in
the menus of great banquets, and the
same kind of meat has been generally
tabooed at afternoon teas and omitted
from the bills of fare Of swell restau-
rants. But that does notnecessarily
mean that the meat of the noble com
panion does not offer attractions as
an edible for many people. Hundreds
and even thousands Of people raise
as large families of dogs as can be
found in the near vicinity Of the pow
erty-stricken darky's home for the
sole purpose of eating the same when
the proper time arrives, True, these
people do not compose the representa-
tive elements Of society, but such a
delightful occupation commands a
certain amount of respect.
1t was in the northern part OF CHINA
that the populace yies with one an
other in preparing the choice outlets
of dog, and for generations they have
been raising dogs there with the same
purpose in view as the sheep raiser Of
this country. The edible dog of that
country has distinctive name, being
known as the "wunk" dog, and when
ready for slaughter resembles a young
bear more than dog. Hundreds upon
hundreds of these dogs are raised, and
many times they have materially
aided in warding off hunger and fam
inc. They attain weight of 80 or 40
pounds, and the meat is said to be
sweet and nourishing, - Chicago

Atlanta, Ga, July e6.--A decision
of much interest throughout the South
was handed down by the United States
Court to-day in the case of Fielder
& Hehre against the Austin Corbiu
Banking Company, of New York. The
plaintiffs represented the Corbin COM
pany 10 the South, aud as their agents
loaned out between two and three
millions of dollars in small sums to
farmers and planters in TexrS, Arkan-
sss, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee,
Alabama, Georgia, and North and
South Carolina. The tragic death Of
Austin Corbin left the affairs of the
banking concern in q somewhat un
satisfactory condition, and Thomas j.
Fielder applied for . receiver TO look
after the cOmpany'' interests in the
South. The receiver was granted, but
the Northern bankers refused 10 pay
attention to him, aud to-day it Was
taken into the United States Court.
Judge Speers granted an order rcquir-
ing that all books aud papers OF the
corporation for the past ten years bs
brought South aud delivered to E. r
WilliDghsm, at Macon, the recently APP
pointed TecsiVer. The company is
given thirty days In which TO comply
with the order.
