An OId-Fnshioned journey.

How would you like to remain five
months on a ship as "A passenger? In
these days of fast travel that seems to
be a waste of time, but some people like
it. A sailing vessel that recently came
into Portland, Ore, brought two pas
sengers from Boston, Mass. The ship
sailed all the way down the Atlantic
coast, around Cape Horn, and then up
the Pacific coast, all along South Amer
lea, and our coast states, the voyage
lasting Isl days. The passengers eX-
pressed themselves as delighted with
their experience. They went ashore at
every port the vessel touched, tshed at
every opportunity, read many books,
played games and enjoyed themselves
in many other ways. AS they remarked,
when interviewed, it was healthful
and interesting trip. such as would pay
anyone to take, at least once in life
time.

Music Kills a Young Horse.

Music caused the death of a beauti-
full three-year-old FLY at Florence, Ala,
the other day. A farmer drove his valu-
able young mare into town, and as he
was driving up the principal street a
brass band suddenly struck up its
blatant music. The mare had never
heard any sound like that before, and
SO startled was she that she dropped
dead in the shafts of the trap. A veter-
mary surgeon who examined the car
cass declared that the mare had died of
heart failure, due to excitement, caused
by the sound of the unaccustomed music
of the brass band.

The South is receiving ample evil
dence that there Is far more money
afoat within her limits nov than there
has been before in many years. In
past years 1t was not possible to hold
the cotton in the interior, because the
banks had not the money to enable
those owing it to do so. This year
there lie plenty Of money for that pur-
pose, and it lie not borrowed from New
York. 1t is money belonging to the
South.
The country banks have an abund-
ance OF money. Some OF them have
more than they can lend on srch
securities as they want, and those who
want money to help hold cotton can
get 1t, and do get 1t from the city

DemOcrats should Organize.

The Democrats throughout the
United States should organize by
school districts. Nothing succeeds
like thorough organization. Along
this line the Columbia (Mo.) Herald
says:
The presidential campaign Of 1900,
which promises to be most tremen-
dous in its effects, is almost at hand.
The party which goes into the contest
well equipped, well organized, well
educated, will have an enormous adj
vantage. Nothing pays 50 well in
politics or in business as getting good
ready.
The effect Of Democratic crganiza-
tlon in Boone county was shown in
1896. During that year BY means Of
school house. clubs which we're foster
ed the Democratic vote Of this county
was increased over 1000. There ls q
lesson in this result. Now is a good
time to reOrganIze these Democratic
clubs. A campaign Iof education
should be begun at once. The long
winter EVENING" could be probably
employed in discussion Of absorbing
questions OF the campaign. In this
way support can be won for Democ-
racy which would not be gained dur
ing the acute campaign.
The Democratic county central COM
mittee might properly interest itself
in the orgaization Of Democratic clubs
In the various townships and school
districts. 1t would he q splendid in
