The streets of Jackson were full of
people from far and near Saturday,
who brought something to town to sell
and spent lot of money for things
they could not raise at home, to take
back with them. Hay, cotton, pota-
toes, pork, rice, corn, turkeys, chick
ems, eggs and molaEses were among
the produce sold on the streets. The
correspondent made it point to talk
to some half dozen farmers from as
many counties, and having read in the
papers from all over the state that
there was peace and plenty everywhere,
asked theee men how 1T was in their
counties and neighborhoods. Without
exception they all said that their people
were we'll off better off, in fact, than
they had been for many, very. many,
years. The economy practiced by the
belief that cotton would bring only
or 5 cents, together with diversltication,
since cotton had brought nearly twice
as much as it had last year, had given
the people q surplus of money, and
they all felt good over IT,

British Victories are Dearly Bought.
London The meagre official dis
patches giving list of the British
casualties at Modder river and announ-
cling the bare fact that Lord Methuene
is still there awaiting reinforcements is
only supplemented by brief special
from Cape Town, stating that the Beers
destroyed the bridge over the Modder
river before the battle and are now
concentrating at Spytontein, where the
final battle before Kimberly Is believed
is expected to take place.
The censor has apparently stopped
all press messages from the front relat-
ing to the battle. which is not regarded
as favorable indication. As to the
material results of Lord Methuene's
engagement, it is not yet clear whether
Lord Methuene's force actully crossed
the Modder river or is still waiting the
rebuilding Of the bridge before the ar
tillery and cavalry can cross. In any
case the railway must be carried over
the bridge before the indispensable big
naval guns can pass, because Lord Me-
thune's last message shows that they

1t is significant fact that Lord
Methuene's cablegram makes no men
ton of the Boer loss, and therefore tits
assumed to be small.
A dispatch from Cape Town says:
Lord Methuene's advance undoubtedly
is beginning to affect the Boer strategy
and probably expects the withdrawal
from Mooi river. The continued pre-
sence of the commands in Cape Colony
tends to confirm the opinions that the
Beers ale making desperate efforts to
recruit their forces from the Dutch
residents. While 1t is impossible to
obtain exact statistics, 1t is absolutely
certain that the disafected DutUn
have Joined the Beers in great num-
bers, which are still increasing. Most
of the recruits however are young
men. Gen. Buffers message clearly
indicates the punishment for dihloy-
atty has deferred the actual hold
ers Of farms from joining the Beers
through fear Of confscation Of their
property.
There are now clear proofs that the
loyalty Of the border Dutch is unable
to Withstand the proximity of Boer
commands. The rest Of the colony
is apparently quiet, but there is
strong undercurrent of sympathy for
the Beers. The outlook regarding
Cape Colony, however, may be re-
garded as hopeful.
The Beers, as we'll as the British,
under estimated the strength OF their
opponents and every engagement has
evidently tended to establish a hearty
respect for Tommy Atkins.
An official rectifcation Of the list of
Modder river casualties among the non
commissioned officers and men, makes
the total loss to the North Lancashiers,
three killed and sixteen wounded; Of
| the Northumberland Fusileers, eleven
killed and thirty four wounded, and Of
| the Agyles eighteen killed and ninety
one wounded.
It also adds to the list the Reming-

A WANDERER AND HIS BOOK.
Strange True Stories of Boy Who Would Not Be Parson

There is a charm about a retired sea
captain. Any man who has lived a
rowing life and stored his memory with
strange adventures on land and sea,
is easily a hero. And if man has
crowded into a few short years more
experiences than usually occur in
lifetime, and, in his sturdy young man
hood he can tell about them in frank.
modest, manly fashion, he is easily an
author. When a man has done this. as
II. Phelps Whitmarsh has done it in
his picturesque book, THE Worlds
Rough Hand which has recently been
making SO much talk, and left the pub
lie with an appetite for more, then
the fragments of experience which he
drops in informal talk, sitting with
pipe and slippers before the evening
fire, are worth having.

ing said Mr.. Whitmarsh, rather
gloomily, after he had been persuaded
