from those normals should
be properly presented, and
every feature of the system

While the county normal
system may have been of a
great benefit to the teachers
.of our state, the principle
by which they are carried
on is a fraud, When the
question is fairly presented,
it will be found that it is
one of the biggest pieces Of
class Legislation ever enacted
by the state to appropriate
$40, 600, or ary amount, to
carry on a twenty days nor

Just as well, and ten times
better, appropriate the same
amount for the education Of
the farmer in his line, for
he's the man on whom the

n HEA RTLESS Wretch

OF all the stories that have
been told of Gen, Weyler,
showing his he&rtlessness
this one from the Washing
ton Times is the most hor-
rlble, and shows him to be a
man without a soul-a hend
incarnate. The story is
told by a lady Of Washing
ton whose husband was an
officer in the Spanish army
until this incident happened
when he resigned his post.
ION, ~
y During the regime Of
Weyler in Cuba, this gentle
man was attached to a raid
ing colunn, which went out
into Havana province ant
succeeded in masSacring the
fqniilies of 4 number OF Gu
bans who were with the
forces in the field. In the
course of the butchery the
officers of the expedition were
aJtttJaacted aJttJaact to a bright llttl(
and they concluded to spar
him, and take him back t,
Havana with them. On tn
way, becoming friendly witt
his captors, he lisped out
little patriotic song, IN whicl
Weyler's name was HANDLED
with more vigor than polite
ness, and the officers though
it such good joke that the,
would let the captain'genera
enjoy it, too.
So, ore evening a few day,
after, the chief officers o
the column took the littlt

AnglO-German Alliance.

Chamberlain, the secretary of state

amplification of the gossip relative to
the daily visits Of Count Won Hatzfeldt-

TO the British foreign office during the
past fortnight, which have been at
tributed to a desire on the part of
Germany and Great Britain to formu-
late a common policy in regard to Rus

Because of the death of three hospital
patients after drinking milk sold by
negroes living in the neighborhood
the quartermaster of company G
would not allow the negroes to sell
anything to his company. Friday
night gang of negroes caught Franks
outside of the camp grounds, and after
beating him nearly to death threw him
under passing railroad train. Since
then the guards have been ordered to

Bradstreet on Trade.

New York, Sept. 3.-Bradstreet's says:
''The advent of September finds fall trade
apparently in full swing at the west and
northwest, and more reported doing at
southern Mississippi valley points and In
the east, but the volume Of business In
wool and dry goods in the latter section IS
rather smaller than expected. Early re-
ports of large business during August are
confirmed by aggregates of monthly bank
clearings, which show unprecedentedly
large totals for that month, little below,
indeed, the immense monthly aggregates
of last winter. Reports from the iron and
steel trade are in high degree favora BILE,
the tonnage movement being unprecedent-
edly large and the tone of prices firm at
the advance recently scored. Business in
steel Is exceptionally large, and in the west
particularly the output is limited only by
the ability of the mills to keep up with or
ders. The western crop situation remains
practically unchanged, cash wheat being
lower on a rather larger movement Of
spring wheat, but an active demand for
export has furnished sustaining power.
Corn has been ruled by the weather in sur
plus-producing states, which is dry and
hot, with steadying effect on prices.
"Distributive trade is active in the west
and northwest, with dry goods. boots and
shoes, hats and caps, millinery, clothing
and hardware in most active distribution
by jobbers, and with iron and steel and
most of it's products in active demand and
consumption by manufacturers. An in
creased business is reported in the south
ern Mississippi valley, New Orleans telling
of increased activity in general trade and
larger receipts Of new crop cotton and
rice"
