inequalities of road surface. 1t re-
sembles sledge. and in principle is IA

machine carries roll OF paper which

Csc OF these is fixed and marks Il per

rises and falls according to the yori-
ations OF the surface. These variations
are transmitted by serrated wheel
which travels on the road surface and
is attached to one end of lever which is
pivoted in the center. Al the opposite
end of the lever is the second pencil.
and as the wheel rises and falls with
the undulations OF the road surface the
pencil rises and falls correspondingly.
thus making an infallible record of the
surface. The viagraph has been ex-
tensiyely used in England, where its
records have been frequently used by
bicyclists for the purpose of showing
the authorities how much some roads
are in need Of repair. Such record is

QUEER INsUsANcE CASES.

chasing railway insurance tickle,

he failed to do so, and his train wus

no bounds. Here ] have been betting

There is one sadly dramatic history
associated with an insurance ticket. A
gentleman purchased one prior to
starting on a journey, and, as is fire.
quently done, posted it home TO his wife
from the departure station. The ticket
was delivered simultaneously with an
intimation from the railway compan.
announcing that he had lost his lite in
railway accident.
In the case OF the Tay bridge disaster

ticket had been reduced to absolute

Negro Emigrant Sick of Mississippi.

The negroes who recently cmigrated
from this county to Mississippi have
not found that to be land flowing
with milk and honey by any means.
Some very doleful letters have been re-
ceived from some of them.
Among those who emigrated was
Wade Turner, well-known colored
man. He left his wife and family be-
hind, being confident that in the glori-
GUS country to which he was going he
could soon be able to make enough
money to send for them. But the let
ters he now writes to his friends here
tell very different tale. He has writ
ten a very pathetic letter to Charley
Stuart, of this city, fellow member in
some kind of benevolent union, to
which many of the negroes belong,
which The Index is permitted to pub
lish. 1t is interesting.
DIcKERsoN, MISS, Jan. O..
Dear Brother Stuart write to ask
you to do me favor. Will you take
this letter and go among the citizens of
Greenwood, such as Mr.. Eugene Tar
rant, Dr.. Epting, George Bailey, Joel
Bailey, John Barksdale, George Barks-
dale, and anyone you think will help,
and ask them to give you q dollar, or
whatever they will to help me get back.
And ask the Union to help me as much
as they can. l am under obligations to
this man here for $16.5O and want to
raise as much as $50 so 1 can come
home. Please take this letter and try
to get them to help me.
l am like the prodigal son-I want
to get home so bad. want to come
back so l can stop this emigration bust
ness. A man simply can't live in these
bottoms. If you see my wife tell her
for Gods sake not to come here. Tell
all of my friends not to come.
Please see what you can do for me
and write me at once. Your brother,
WADE TURNER.
Some Of the colored people are car
rying around a subscription list and
have raised several dollars toward pay
ing Turner'S way home. Turner is
very we'll liked by those who know
him.-GreenwOod Inder.

The old fight to bring about the re-
duction of the cotton acreage is on
again. 1t always comes up III earnest
whenever the cotton crop is enormous
and the market gets down about five
cents. 1t is q good thing to reduce the
cotton acreage, but the farmers OF the
south will not let it stay reduced.
Whenever they reduce the acreage,
and make smaller crop, then cotton
goes up, and forthwith they plant more
cotton and then the price goes down.
It's to be hoped that the cotton acreage
in the south this year may be greatly
reduced, and that it may never again
be increased. Let the reduction III
cotton acreage be permanent. regard
less of any tluctuation in the cotton
market that may come from Il smaller
crop.

Looking back over the statistics OF
1898, the criminologist of the Chicago
Tribune reports gratifying decrease
in the crimes of embezzlement, for
gerry, defaulting and bank-wrecking,
the amount of last years stealings for
this country being little more than
half as much as in 1897 and lower than
any year since 1888. Such decrease
in crime is pretty good measure OF
the improvement Of the time.

How to Look Good.

Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on healthy con-
dition of all the vital organs. If the liver
is inactive, you have bilious look; if your
stomach is disordered, you have a dys-
peptic look; if your kidneys are affected,
you have pinched look. Secure good
health, and you will surely have good
looks Electric Bitters' is good Alter

the United States Senate last Monday
afternoon by majority of three votes,
there being tifty-seven votes for and

Laurin, of this State, voted for the
treaty. Not until the vote was taken

the speedy adoption of the treaty,

The United States, in spite OF the
great gold development in Africa, con-
tinues the first of all countries in gold
production, and will probably hold the
lead. This is the more probable be-
cause of the prospect of large devel-
opment of the gold fields of the South.
Gold mining has increased rapidly in
Georgia during the past two years and
there are now thirty gold mines in that
State being successfully operated. The
output OF several Of them is quite large
and increasing. Georgia is destined to
take her place among the great gold
producing States Of the Union.
