PRIZE FIGHTiNG.

The human race has In all ages had
IL pastilnes andamusements, aud prob
ably will have as long rs the race lasts.
But there has been gradual change in
the character Of these amusements, the
tendency being toward higher moral
standard. The bloodshed and brutality
that set the Roman audiences Wild with
enthusiasm find favor now with only
such antique civilizations as those Of
Spain aud Mexico The warlike spirit
Of militant nation tends to foster a de-
sire for sanguinary scenes. War always
lowers the moral standard OF com.
munity.
The amusements Of today are for the
most part Of an eleyating nature. We
have, however, the prirc-dght, COM
monty called a eparring contest for
points, which usually results In tho de.
feat Of ono Of the contestants In such a
manner as TO leave him somewhat the
worse for wear for q few days. This
kind OF amusement lie just shade better
than the bull.6ghts Of Spain. The
sporting fraternity are rathor bad lot.
u~aoons ana gambling housos are thoil
resorts. Fo- the moro refined pas,imel
they have but little use. II is only Z
question Of time when the best OF then

very little to say complimentary TO tho

MEMO WRITES ON THE sITUA.
TON.

Editor Gazette: As we have d
county agricultural club now to
direct forecast and manage the
agricultural interests of the coun-
ty, farmers can't well get very
wrong. The situation, however,
has changed very greatly during
the last two months. Then every
body hated their old friend Cot
ton, because he had gotten 80
poor that he could not get him
self picked, and thousand and
one plans were afloat to dethrone
Cotton and put him out just be-
cause he had done like the
weather, gotten himself under
par.
Mr.. Mel, you see, had spoken
and had given out such q figure
for the crop Of 1893 that many
people thought the world would
need no more of the staple for
three years; SO the Club began to
advise, TO tell farmers what to
plant, and tell the merchants not
to credit, just as though the mer-
chants did not know their own
business. What q pity people
can not be privileged to attend to
their own business.
Mr.. Neil's big crop is not being
sustained by receipts at the ports,
for although the crop at one time
was 200, 600 bales ahead Of that
Of 1897, it began to shorten up
until the margin Of 200, 900 bales
has gotten on the other side,
making that amount deficit one
instead Of surplus. It is still
claimed that this great shortage
will be brought up by cotton yet
unginned, but when it remem-
bered that as hands were not
picking cotton, they probably
were having much more time 10
give, then the bears turn up a
new card and declare the cotton
is not yet picked out.
Now the condition OF Hill lands
is q fair criterion for judging.
The pine land men were the first
to raise the cry of short crop,
and this condition OF things is
going to continue. In sympathy
with shrinlsng receipts, the price
Of middlings jumped up into the

DISCHARGED EMPLOYEE
SHOT.

Summit, Feb. %. This morn
ing at about 10 o clock, while
working on the Cumberland Tel
ephone Company's line, w. II.
Elder, assistant foreman Of the
construction corps, shot and
wounded John Smith in two
places, once in the leg and once
in the shoulder blade, the latter
ball passing out under the arm. /.
DR.. Simmons dressed Smith g
wounds and pronounced them Sc
rious but not fatal. The difficult
ty arose over the discharge OF
Smith by Elder when Smith
threatened Elders life and at
tempted to strike him with brick,
whereupon Elder fired on him
with the above results. Elder
was arrested by Chief of Police
ellis, and carried before Justice
Matthews, who, after hearing all
tho testimony and extensive ar
gmnent by counsel Nixon and
Lotterhos. discharged the ac-
cused. Mr.. Elder was then ar
raigned before Mayor Holden for
carrying concealed weapons and
fined S5 and costs under the town
ordinance for this offense.
Jim Hallman, colored, yester-
day struck Jim Smith, also coll
ored, on the head with a spade at
Heidenrich's brick yard, two
miles south OF Summit, producing
wounds from which he is expect
ed TO die. The difficulty occurred
by Hallman ordering Smith to
put down a plank he was carry
ing which Hallman claimed to
own, and upon his refusing to do
SO, struck him on the head sew
eral times with a spade, some OF
Smiths brains adhering to it,

INCREASES TRUST.

During the campaign Of 1896
our side constantly asserted that
a victory for the republican par
ty would mean the inauguration
OF trust reign the like Of which
the world had never seen. I'm
thinking people answered that we
were talking in behalf OF the sill
yer barons Of the mountain states.
Well, our predictions have come
true. Every important industry
is now controlled by the trusts.
The people are beginning to see
the light. The prosperity that
has come is jug handled. All
for the trusts. There is grand
awakening going on. Butin the
excitement let us not forget the
all-important and suncontroyerti-
BILE fact that the father Of all the
the trusts is the gold standard.
The way to kill the trusts is to
annihilate their fcause. Let US
remember, too, that is to / is
the only legislation that the great
trust fearsGreenville Demo-

Mel the 9 cent liS
crossed, while the shof
continues.
Cotton is the hardest oomf
cial article in the world to kedpl
down because the world wants IL,
and the world must have il. It's
price is not dependent on local
demand. If the crop is at all
short anything under fl, 100000
bales, the price must advance,
and ordinarily the world caa u3e
II million bales at 5A cents. IL
is an article that will bear keep
ing in all climates. No one can
judge of the price OF cotton early
in the season. II Is only when
February and March comes that
the crop amount can be forecast-
ed, and any drop III receipts in
March will send cotton up.
The farmer will not hold his
cotton. He has q phrensiel de-
lsire to pay his merchant. The
man he borrows money from can
wait. The doctor can wait, the
preacher must wait for the top
crop, and spring sales, the print-
or he had as soon not patrunize
as not, but the merchant who
gets about all he makes, must be
paid early.
In q few weeks the roads will
be lined with phosphate wagons,
and the people, after trifling
away two months in the year,
will now hurry up by buying fer
tilizers and everything else on
credit. There are three short
words, that II practiced, would
make an Eden Of Pike county.
They are: /, Industry 2, Econo-
my 3, Good Management. These
three form tripartite rampant
that nothing can overthrow.
saw two men purchase u sack
Of oats, 4 bushels each, and the
one who paid cash for his oats
saved the difference of one dollar
on his purchase. The credit man
used tobacco, the other did not.
The present outlook under
small receipts bespeaks q bullish
market, for the difference in re-
ceipts, and the healthy tone Of
finances are favorable to cotton.
The United States have depleted
themselves OF cotton, depending
upon q large crop to enable her
to recoup. If the crop is small
she will have to pay a higher fig-
ure. The demand for cotton is
said TO increase about ono and a
half million bales per year. The
stock of cotton now on hand is
said to be large in England, but
small in the United States.
There has been greater fear Of
slumping prices In the south than
ever before. No one desires to
go largely into cotton growing.
All prudent people are actuated
by the Same fear. A continual
tion Of cent prices through this
season would almost have bank
rupted the country, and II 1-2
million crop in 1890 may produce
this feared result. With Il good
season this crop can be raised II
merchants will risk the necessary
advances. In the meantime ey-
cry prudent man should make
haste very slowly. MEMO.
