FOR the first time since the civil
war the situation in the cotton mar.
ket is controlled by southern invest
ment buyers in the interior towns
The upward trend of prices shows
no signs of weakening. The people
of the cotton belt have awakened to
the fact that it is possible for them
to control to great extent the price
of the South's great staple, and 1t is
improbable that future crops will be
sold at or below the cost Of produc-
ton. Reasonable prices for cotton
means much to the South-in fact,
the difference between bankruptcy
and prosperity. Every person in
the cotton belt is interested in the
matter, and the lesson of the mar
keting of this years crop is likely
to be remembered with profit in the
future.

SERMONS IN STONES.

A writer in the Geulemdn's Maya
zine has recently offered collection of
English epitaphs, including few clever
ones of the punning variety. Here, for
example, is one on a Doctor Fuller:
"Here lies Fuller's earth"
Some of the epitaphs are self-contra
dictory or paradoxical, like this one on
Ann Mann
"She lived an old maid,
And died an old Mann"
At Norwich Mathew Mud is buried
- Here lies Mathew Mud,
Death did him no hurt,
When alive he was Mud
And now dead he is dirt"
A Mr.. Stone composed his own elegiac
couplet:
" Jerusalem's curse is not fulfilled in me,
For here's stone upon Stone, you see."
The Rev. Mr.. Chest, vicar Of Chep-
stow, less fortunate than Mr.. Stone, was
at the mercy of his son-in- law, Mr..
Downtown, who apparently settled many
an old score in satirical epitaph
Here lies, at rest, do protest,
One chest within another,
The chest of wood was very good
Who says 50 of the other?"
Some men, like Merideth, former or.
ganist at St. Mary Winton College, Ok.
ford, seemed to have been named to meet
the exigences of rhyme and their voca
ton:
" Here lies one blown out of breath,
Who lived merry life, and died Meri
deth."
An epitaph, too ingenious to have beer
made by the fool of the family, empha
sizes the fact that man need not b,
illustrious in life in order to be happil,
summed up at life's close
"By deaths impartial scythe was NOW
Poor Hattie lies beneath this stone;
On him misfortune oft did frown,
Yet HAITI ne'er wanted for crown;
When many years of constant wear
Had made his beaver somewhat bare,
Death saw, and plying his mishap,
Has given him here good long map"

A CARD FROM g. T. HUGHES.

To the EDITOR OF THE HERALD:
In-as-much as a misunderstanding ap-
pears to exist, growing out of the recent
publications relative to the bill filed
by Mr. W. P. Ridley, against the
International Phosphate Company and
Others, deem it but just to Mr.. w. P.
Ridley, who has been absent from the
state since the bill was filed, as we'll as
to Mr.. j. W. Howard and associates, tc
state that there is no charge in the bill
that either Mr.. Howard or his associates
had perpetrated fraud ON the com.
plainants, nor are they parties to the
suit, nor is any recovery sought or ex.
pected as against them. The bill, which
is public record, subject to inspection,
will speak for itself AS one of the at
torneys | filed the bill.

ORNAMENTS 10 THE CITY.

Both UaeiuI m Ornamental.

The New Buildings Going Up viii be
Both UseiuI AM Ornamental.
As they approach completion and the
rubbish is being moved from their
fronts, the beauty of the new buildings
on West Seventh street begins to dawn
upon the people of Columbia, who had
not expected half 50 much.
The Maury Dry Goods Co. are a.
ready in their new quarters, and Rains
expects to occupy his marble front in a
few days. The Maury National Bank
will also move into their new building in
few days, and no bank in the state
will then have handsomer or safer quar-
ters. They have a marble front, their
ceiling is of hammered steele, their floor
is made of thing and the building IL as
near fireproof as possible Their double
steele lined vault, large and commod-
ious, is divided into sections one part
for the books of the bank and the pri-
vate boxes of their customers, the other
for the money and notes of the bank, and
this is locked with inside screw doors.
A burglar would find fortune if he
could get inside this vault and through
these screw doors. But he would have
a happy time getting there, and would
almost earn the reward for the execu-
ton of so difficult job. The vault is
no safer than the management of the
bank. The officials are experienced,
conservative, honest and reliable. There
is no financial institution anywhere more
deserving implicit confidence of the bus
mess world, and there are none that
stand better, either at home or abroad
The patronage they receive, the value OF
their stock, and the dividends they pay
all testify to these facts.

MULE DENTISTRY.
An Expert Dentist WhJ Operates on
Twenty-FOur of the Ami
mails Every Day.
Z ours to count on

Twenty-FOur of the Ami
mails Every Day.
A Mexican mining company which
owns 300 mules keeps a dentist on
its staff simply to look after the
mules teeth.
One of Mr. Mules am able weak
nesses is the habit of boiling his
food, which frequently causes dys
pepsia or other diseases. This bolt
ing of his food Is not caused by de,
sire to hasten his meal, but because
his molals, or back teeth, having
more work to perform than his front
teeth. wear away in the course Of a
few years and become much shorter
than the front oneS, thus allowing
the food to pass into the stomach
without being properly masticated.
In cases If this kind the incisors, or
front teeth, have to bs filed down an
eighth or IA quarter of an inch.
The mOlars of a mule are pa inches
in length, while the inciSors measure
21a inches, and judging from bis
signs of pain, the nerves are as sen
si5ive as those of human beings. An
expert dentist operates on 24 mules
day.
The extracting instruments are
from two t. three feet in length, and
the entire case of instruments
weighs fully 50 pounds. The teeth
of every mine mule are examined
and treated, if necessary, once o.
| twice a year.

A ROWDY NEGRO TRAMP
Makes an Attempted Assault Upon Al
derman Massey.

A negro tramp presented himself at
the door of Alderman Massey's house in
Southeast Columbia early Tuesday
morning, and asked him in a very brusk
manner for something to eat. Mr.. Massey
refused him, and the negro, becoming
enraged, picked up rock and COM
menced cursing and making threats. He
would doubtless have carried his
threats into effect had not two young men
interferred, who took the negro in
charge and brought him TO town, where
he was placed under arrest. A purse
containing S23 and bearing the signature
of New York man, was found in one of
his pockets.
