tea. The latter is an excellent su-
doriGc. Ice crushed in a towel
can be given in small quantities.
This is very cooling to the stomach.
BY all means keep the patient per-
fectly quiet and free from all kinds
of excitement. He must not be al
lowed to become depressed. The
nurse must be intelligent. cheerful
and not talkative.
I There should be no one allowed
in the room but the nurse and she
should never, if possible, be absent
from the bedside, even for mo-
ment. If there is no relapse the
fever is apt to leave the patient in
seventy-two hours, but should it
continue longer there is no occasion
for alarm, for during the whole of
the epidemic of 81 I have known
the fever to last four or five days
without abating, and the patients
recovered. Great care must be
taken to keep up gentle perspira-
ton during the continuance of the
fever. As soon as the fever leaves,
if the patient should feel too faint
or weak, let q teaspoonful of good
brandy or whisky be given in the
same quantity Of ice water with a
little white sugar, from time to
time. Should sickness of the stom-
'ach appear a mustard plaster must
be applied to the chest to prevent
vomiting. The feet and legs are
apt to be cold; these must be rub

the main, excellent, in accordance
with the old reliable Creole method
of dealing with yellow fever. But
it would be advisable to dispense

skin and liable to cause unneces

The Cotton Crop.
IN. o. rimss-Democrat.J

We had hoped to be able. in
time, to get pretty close estimates
of the prospective cotton crop, SO
many are the agencies at work col
lecting news of the harvest, but, on
the contrary, we seem to be drift
ing further away in consequence
of the wild competition between
the bulls and bears. For instance,
it is seldom that there has been
such wide difference between the
estimates as to the present crop.
Some declare that it is going to be
the largest ever raised; others
that it will be below the average,
and each faction insists upon the
accuracy of It's estimates.
The Times Democrat is neither
bull nor bear, except in SO far as 1t
desires to see farmers get the high
est prices obtainable for their cot
ton, and does not think it ought to
advise its farmer friends as to
what they should do. We believe
the farmers themselves know as
much about the crop and the pros
pective yield as those who have
figured it out in their counting
houses, especially as many of these
are Influenced by their. wishes.
We would advise the farmers
therefore, to hook around them and
form their own opinions as to the
condition of the crop. They have
the best chance of knowing wheth-
or it is success or failure
whether it will be above or below
late averages. Relatively the same
conditions prevailed throughout
the south, and while some sections
are q little better than others

Colfax Suddenly Stampedes.

After acting consiste ltly and sensibly
all through the yellow fever sscare, on
last Monday the people of Colfax.stook a
sudden fright and proceeded to enforce
an iron-clad quarantine against the
world. s.for period of 48 hours. No
amount OF: reasoning and protest was Of
any avail 10 the face OF two or three wild
rumors.set afioat by some inconsiderate
idiots, and the shotgun quarantine was
ON in dead earnest.
The U. S. mail from Royce was turned
back atsthe corporate limits, and no one
from any quarter was permitted to enter
the town, and all this simply because a
few cases of ordinary fever was reported
to be in Boyce.
Before the 48 hours were out reason
began to assert it's sway, and Wednesda,
afternoon the town council, at the re
quest of mass meeting of the citizens
proceeded to modify their rules. Friday
morning the entire uselessness of quaran
tine became SO apparent that the coun
Gil was called together and all restric
tions were raised.
We have several communications from
persons at Boyce, and also copy Of th'
Boyce Enterprise, all denying the reports
of yellow fever there, but they are tot
late for us to publish. Thanking all To-
their interest and courtesy, we are glat
to know that the scare is over for sea
son at least.

NO. So.

the choice Of delegates to the con-
stitutional convention, but one
which calls for the active enlist
ment of all their wisdom and all
their patriotism.
The men who frame our next
constitution have such q fearful re-
sponsibility resting upon them
that the position of delegate be-
comes the most important in the
gift of the people. They go to the
convention garmented with the
full and free authority of all the
people to establish a fund amental
basis of law under which the State
must operate, for veal or woe, for
many years to come. It must be
founded in wisdom and justice and
with a view to permanency. The
statute laws of q legislature. #
weak or faulty or unwise, may be
repealed, but the work of con-
stitutional convention is enduring,
and if founded in folly the people
must suffer.
We want therefore no new hatch
ed f1edgelings, no pin feathered
cockadoodles, no clustering bullies
of buncombe and billingsgate, but
men of ripe wisdom, of mature
Judgment, Of approved experience,
of unassailed character and unim-
peachable patriotism. Such men
we have in East Feliciana, and it
is the solemn duty, as it should be
a privilege, to see to it that none
others be sent to the convention.

Treatment for Yellow Fever.
Editor Picayune:
Let the patient be undressed and
put in bed between blankets Give
q simple dose of medicine, either
castor oil or a bottle of citrate of
magnesia. The latter is more
agreeable to take. and more cool
ing to the blood. Get foot bath
that will hold at least a bucket OF
water; fill it two-thirds full of hot
water. put into it nearly cupful
of mustard. Put the foot tub on
the bed under the blankets; let
the feet of the patient remain IN
this bath fully half an hour, keep
ing the blankets we'll tucked in
around the patient; keep the hands
under the cover; let the blankets
be we'll tucked in around the neck.
II the head aches very badly apply
a cold cloth to the forehead. When
the foot is withdrawn do not stoI
to wipe the feet, but cover up as
closely as possible SO as to produce
perspiration. Let the foot bath bt
repeated while the pains remain il
the bones. The room need not be
kept too close; on the contrary, il
is better to have fresh air for the
patient to breathe. But do not le
the draft come on the patient, *
as to check the perspiration, which
must be kept up while the fevel
lasts. The patient must not be al
lowed to get ont of bed, sit up O.
change his clothes or take any kint
of food. His drink must be small
and frequent quantities of ice wa
ter, ice lemonade, or orange-lea

some are a little worse. The farm
er, therefore, who looks around
and sees how his own cotton and
that of his neighbors is doing, can
form pretty good estimate as to
the size of the crop. And when he
Knows that it will be an easy mat
ttr for him to determine whether
the present price is a fair one or
hot; and, therefore, whether he
sought TO sell or. hold hia cotton for
an advance.
The acreage in cotton is known,
the amount needed for the worlds
mills is also known. The farmer
needs only determine by the crops
around him what the yield per
acre is likely to be to settle for
himself what he ought to do-sell
or hold.
This is what the Western farm
ers did with their wheat. The
spectators had fixed on IS or 70
cents as the price which they pro-
posed to pay, but the farmers, after
looking over the field, saw that the
/ yield was not more than sufficient
| to cover the European demand.
They refused to sell at 65 cents
and are getting 80 cents
There ought to be no class bet
ter able to determine the size OF
the cotton crop than the cotton
farmers, who know its exact condi-
tion. It will pay them to profit by
their knowledge, instead of being
led ard influenced by the guesses
and reports of spectators.

but prices are very firm on nearly all
grades. Sales have been less than
those for the previous week, but nearly
all the wool that has changed hands has
been sold the past two days, so that the
market closes with a fairly good de-

strong and everything about the stu
alton is in sellers favor, MaRafactur-
ers, as a rule, are not in the market be-
ing fairly well supplied, but they are
not allowing desirable lots to slip out OF
their grasp at present pricesi There is
considerable speculation among dealers,
most Of whom are buyers. Fleece woods
are held very firm, but there is little Of

A few days ago a complaint was made
at the Office OF Prosecuting Attorney
Lazzelle. against William Beals and
vile. charging them with grand lar
ceny. Before the officers could appre-
bend them they left the state and
went into Pennsylvania. The prose-
cutting attorney Immediately made a
request 10 Governor Atkinson, for a ,e-
QUESTION on the Pennsylvania author
lilies. He was dumbfounded thls
morning 60 learn In a letter from Gov
ernor Atkinson that his request could
NOT be complied with and that hence
forth no acquisitions would be issued
for any fugit!ves from the jurisdiction
Of the states officials, no matter how
grave the offense committed.
This is because OF a ruling OF the au-
dltor that the COSTS in these cases can.
not be paid out OF TIE criminal costs
fund, but must be paid out OF the gov
ernor's civil contingent fund. The
ruling means that any crime may be
committed In West Virginia and the Of
fender has only 10 escape INTO another
state 10 avoid the penalties OF his Of
Tense, because all of the civil contin-
gent fund is spent for other purposes
almost as soon as Il Is available. The

ing will seriously interfere with the
administration OF justice In the courts
but that IL is out OF his power 70 rem
