followed by drop in the tempera. ture causing a hal d freeze, and since then it has been sleeting and SHOW ing and showing until the whole country is now covered. The cot ton remaining in the field has suffer ed terribly; the ice and sleet breaks the limbs and in many places fields of cotton that have never been touched are a total loss. At ttis season of the year and particularly after so much rain the cotton stalk is weakened by decay, and the limbs thus weakened and filled with cotton cannot stand the added weight of Ice and sleet; consequent ly when the thaw comes they settle to the ground which is now gener- ally from four to ten inches under water. The situation in the rIver country is bad and cannot be exag- gerated.
 A talk with the mule men in this market fails even to point to a prep aration for an increased acreage; there are fewer muless here than for four seasons past and the knowing ones, those who furnish supplies to make the crop, say that very few mules will be brough ghere. This means that the place made vacant by the old mule will not be filled by a1new one. Every vacancy of this kind causes an idle blow and loss of ten bales of cotton These are pointers that are we'll worth notic- ing at this tune as the planting season is approaching.
 Very truly yours,

A YOUNG WHITE BOY
Bobs Two Residences and is Finally
 Caught.

A young white boy about 12 years ofaa0e, well known about town and whose name we withhold from this item, owing to the disgrace 1t would bring upon his poor hard-working mother, robbed a couple of Piue Bluff residences Tuesday. The young thief first entered the home of Night Watchman Cha4. Roarity on Georgia street between Second and Third avenues. Be stple sill yer dollar and a few cents from Mr. Roari1y's pants. He entered the room where hr. Roarity sleeps through the window and also left through the same entrance. He then went to the home of Mir. Porter Boyd ou south Cherry street aud stole two gold rings valued at $20,
 He was caught in the act of sell ing the rings by Mfr Roarity, who recognized them as his nephew's property. Mir Roarity gave the little rascal a good lecture aud also took hlm to his mother. She gave him severe punishment for his deed.
 His mother is 8 hard working woman and it is for this fact that we do not publish her wayward sons name. H
 Here is an instancel that goes to show how badly a house of correc- ton is needed in this State.

Two Prominent Young People Wed
 This Morning.

This morning at 8 o'clock at the Catholic church, Mir. John A. Rose and Miss Willohimira Moser were joined in tte holy bonds of wedlock, the Rev. J. Nj. Lucey officiating.
 The handsome edlfice was most beautifully decorated and long be- fore the appointed hour it was filled with the friends Of the contracting parties.
 The wedding was known as a High Nuptlal Mass. The ceremony was imposing in it's nature, from the fact, that few are married by the High Nuptial Mass, as used ex. Icluslvely throughout the North in the Catholic churches. Mir. Chas. Roma acted as best man and Mss Lena Moser, a sister of the bride, as maid of honor. l During the ceremony the bride tainted, owing 10 the tediousness oi the servlces, which was continued for two hours.

A DISASTROUS HEAD-END COLLISION IN
 LA.
TWO TRAINMEN KILLED
Freight Crew Believed to Have Been Asleep---The Dead Taken to
 Alexandria.

Alexandria, La, Feb. "A dis astrous head-end collision between passenger train and an extra freight occurred early this morning on the Central division of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern railroad, near Pollock, La. As a result two men were instantly kill ed, two more seriously and perhaps fatally injured, another was seri- ously wounded and several badly shaken up. The dead are:
 Engineer Watkins, of the extra freight, killed instantly.
 Fireman Hoyste, of the extra freight, crushed to death.
 The seriously wounded are:
 Baggageman Baker, of the pas senger train, perhaps fatally.
 Fireman Mccoy, of the passenger train, crushed perhaps fatally.
 Engineer Gregory of the passen- ger tram was seriously but not fa- tally hurt.
 Head Brakeman Bush of the freight train was slightly wounded.
 A number of passengers were sc verely shaken up by she shock, but none were seriously hurt.
 The collision occurred a5 au early hour this morning about balf way between Patterson Switch aud Pol lock Both trains were running at a hieb rate ofspeed when the crash caae and 1t is miraculous tbat any person escaped injury. Engineer Gregory and Fireman Mccoy jump- cd 10 save their lives after reversing their engine and doing all they could 10 save Che train. They wait ed tee long, however, and were caught in the debris. Engineer Watkins and Fireman Hoyste re- mained at their posts and were crushed iodeathtu the wreck. It is believed that both Watkins and Hoyste were asleep when the col lision occurred
 The extra freight soutbbound in charge of Conductor Farrar and Engineer Watkins had orders to meet passenger train No. 222 at Patterson's Spur. The crew was evidently asleep as no stop was made at the meeting point aud the train was running at rapid rate of speed when, few miles beyond the switch, it crashed into the passen- ger train.
 Both engines were badly wrecked. The baggage car was completely telescoped by the express ear. Bag gagemanrB Baker was caught Tn the wrecked car and terribly wounded.
 The two dead and the wounded were taken to Alexandria, where they were properly cared for
 A relief train reached the scene at 10 o'clock and physicians looked after the slight injuries Of the pas sengers.
 It was not until late this after noon that the track was cleared. The freight cars were badly wreck ed, being piled up high, aod it will take several days to clear away the debris.

<<~HERE are two arguments that
are always used in favor Of
conquest - philanthropy and
five per cent" In Chicago, last Sat
urday night Mr. Bryan, in a banquet
speech, used these words in simplifying
what was said, several days ago, at
Savannah. by Secretary Gage.
Applying these motives to the pro-
posed colonization projects now nour-
ished by the Mckinley administration.
Mr. Bryan added that the philanthropy
element "chloroforms the conscience CT
the conqueror." while the five-per-cent
factor picks the pockets of the con-
quered."
Mr.. Bryan can prove his statement
by referring to chapters that are not
very old in English history. The con-
quest crimes committed by England
under the name of piety are no secret.
The trick we now propose to play in
forcing the Filipinos to be United
States subjects, under the guise of
philanthropy, is much like the English
dodge of increasing the empire under
the pretense of carrying the Bible to
the poor heather.
1t happened that the page of yester-
day mornings Standard giving the
summary of Bryan's Chicago speech
carried also to the reader the latest
tidings concerning the attitude of The
Philippine islanders. It becomes con-
.stantly more certain-alas for the syn
dictate schemes of the expansionists-
that these natives are not favorably
impressed with the project for their an
nexation. They want nothing of tie
sort.
Manifestly, if our government gets
Philippine consent, our soldiers will
have to force it; and that certainly is
not the kind of consent upon which
our republican institutions are founded,

Not a Good Guardian.

Asst weeks news items from
Washington included the state
ment that Secretary Ayers re-
| cent order giving to himself the sole
right to grant franchises and conces-
| sions for the island of Cuba is exciting
| much comment"
| An order of that sort would naturally
| be expected to awaken comment. 1t is
| strictly Algeresque. Because he has his
hold on the war department and be-
cause, for the time being, we have mill
tary control in Cuba, Alger proposes
to blossom out, all by himself, as one
of this country's most powerful trusts.
Alger, under his own official order, will
be personified syndicate; Hanna and
those who, with Alger, hold the bag
will not be within public view. They
will have the necessary pull, but they
will be where you can't see just how
the thing is done. Secretary Alger is
ripe for it, He is no novice. He will
handle the Cuban franchises and con-
cessions with the readiness of vet
eran and the skill of an expert.
Mr.. Alger's order making him self
appointed boss of the franchise ring
and promoter of all the jobs in Cuba
is bitterly denounced, of course. Yet
strange to say, his daring presumption
has some defenders. The Washington
Post likes Ayers plan; it meekly re-
fers, without particulars, to ''one
scheme which was frustrated by the
very narrowest chance" and which, but
for Ayers timely intervention, would
have been carried out What a narrow
escape for Cuba and the United States,
indeed! The Post ought to give details
and then ask the president to appoint
thanksgiving day in recognition of the
blessings of Algerism.
The plain truth is that you could not

authorities in Cuba over grants of fran,
