Mrs. w. E. Afford has been suf-

ralysis for several days. Her con-
dition is not considered dangerous,
however.
Rev. A. Lambert has sold his
farm here and will move east a few
miles into the 10Th district.
Some of our farmers who were
not discouraged by the short wheat
crop, are preparing for another
crop. This is a step in the right
direction. Farmers in this section
do not as a class study their pro-
fession from a business standpoint
Improved methods, better cultiva-
ton better ferterlization on their
part would enable our farmers to
produce more at less cost and also
better their financial condition. The
farm is certainly as much place of
business as the store or factory, and
many of our farmers fail to make it
pay simply because of not looking
after the debts and credits of their
business. like those engaged in 9TH
er pursuits. This is an age of COM
petition, an era of progress, hence
farmers must fight their own battles
and they must fight to win, and
hold their ground despite trusts and
combines if they would attain to a
marked success. To this end they
need education along the lines of
scientific agriculture and progress

form which is opening mp to him
the most attractive and profitable
field he has ever enjoyed. He is
going to send his family to San
Antonio, Tex, in few days, where
they will spend the winter, and be
will, as he expresses it, "lecture TO
them" by Christmas, so as to be able
to shoot fire crackers and Roman
candles with the boys.
After Christmas he will lecture
in Texas and the West till the end
of the season, about the lst of June,
and with his family spent the sum-

section he has never visited, but in
to which he has recently been in
vited, with some of the most fiatter-
ing propositions he has since he went
on the platform.
So it is altogether likely the ex-
Governor will not even be able to
make a few speeches in the next
campaign. 1t looks as though he
really meant every word he said,
when he announced on retiring from
the office of Governor, that he was
out of politics; and while it is well
known he has ambition to 90 to the
Senate, he seems TO be making 10
arrangements to that end for any
time in the near future.
The sold feeling may come back
some day, but there are no signs
now, and he says he feels like it Is

Blasts From Rams Horn.

Comfort depends on thinking,
not on things.
There are few things so selfish as
melancholy.
A thermometer will not take the
place of stove.
The church's best ornament may
be rags in the pews.
The same fire that makes the
dross evident pnrges the gold.
1t is an effort rather than achieve
ment that counts with God.
The man who condems all others,
condemns himself most.
Character is the only reliable
certificate issued by life's school.
Nickel trimmings on a stove are
source of much heat-to some
people.
A patriot uses his private influence
for the public good; a politician
uses the public influence for his
private good.

THERE was an election ordered to
elect a justice Of the peace in the
18th district, aud the election no
tice was published In another paper,
and not in the Free Press, so the
people did not know of the election,
and only seven voters were present.
No officer to hold the election was
present and no election was held.
Moral: Put il in the Free Press if
you want the people to know it.
The above editorial appear
ed in the Free Press of June
9th. The "other paper re-
fered to is the BULLETIN. A
few weeks ago another cleo
ton was ordered in the 18th
district to elect a Justice of
the peace, and this time the
notice was published in the
Free Press. Last Saturday
was the day appointed, but
10 and behold. no election
was held. We are reliably
informed that not a corpO-

During the winter of 1897 Mr..
James Reed, one of the leading
citizens and merchants of Clay
County, w. Va, struck his leg
against a cake of ice in such man
ner as to bruise it severely. 1t be-
come very much swollen and panied
him so badly that he could not
walk without the aid of crutches.
He was treated by physicians, also
used several kinds of liniment and
two and a half gallons of whiskey in
bathing it, but nothing gave any
relief until he began using Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. This brought
almost a complete cure in weeks
time and he believes that had he
not used this remedy his leg would
have had to be amputated. Pain
Balm is unequaled for sprains, bruis-

Dewey's Generosity To
Children.

In 1886 Rose Coghlan was
playing at what was then
AIbaugh's Grand Opera
house. One afternoon three
women stepped in, followed
by a hundred children, boys
and girls. One Of the wom-
Ell stepped up to the window
and said; eve have just an
even hundred children and
here is a check of $50 to pay
for tickets for them" She
handed in a check signed
George Dewey" and the
tickets were passed out.
The happy youngsters were
soon enjoying the play. The
manager didn't know George
Dawey and asked the ticket
man who he was. He said
Mr.. Dewey was navy officer
and that it was not the first
time he had used the checks
in that way. Once each sea-
son any way, he explained,
the children from some OF
the several asy lums were
given such treats by the Of
ficer, but he seldom attended
a performance himself. Elk.

GEN. \. J. VAUGHAN died
Sunday in an infrmary at
indianapolis, where he had
been carried to undergo an
operation for cancer. Gen.
Vaughan was a Virginian,
born in 1880. He came to
north Mississippi several
years prior to the civil war.
Entering the Confederate
service as a private, he rose
to the rank of Brigadier Gen
eral. He was a gallant SOL
dier and participated in many
battles. The explosion of a
shell caused him to lose aleg
near Marietta, Ga, in 1864.
After the war ne moved to
Memphis, where ne was con-
nected with the criminal
court OF Shelby County as
clerk, later deputy, for many
years. Gen. Vaughan was
known personally to and adj
mired by many of our citi-
zens. In social life he was a
delightful companion. There
are yet living a few old sol
diers in this county who fol-
lowed the fortunes of the
Thirteenth Regiment, Ten
nessee Infantry, G. 5. A.,
which he commanded.

Fridays Cotton FURRY.

New Orleans, Sept. 3O.-The
floor of the New Orleans Cotton
Exchange is crowded with operators
to-day, discussing the wild and
terrifying panic of yesterday morn
ing. The contrast is remarkable,
and those who witnessed the scenes
could hardly believe that the widest
panic that ever transpired on the
floor of the New Orleans Cotton Ex-
change had only happened the day
before. The doors of the exchange
remained open all day, though there
was no business of any kind, either
in spots or futures, transacted, and
the operators remained about until
the close at noon, waiting to see
what would develop in the way of
news as to the discovery of the
source of the fraud. Had the figures
really been authentic it is said that
several well known houses who
were short would nave gone down
with a crash. 1t is also currently
reported that one bucket shop
lost $4,000 on a single transaction.
The members of the board of direc-
tors of the cotton exchange are
praised on all sides for their prompt
ness in stemming the panic by
suspending business, and for their
action in declaring all contracts
made on yesterday null and void,
having been based upon fraudulent
figures.
What the mere explaining Of
yesterdays tangIe will cost the cot
ton men of New Orleans is a mat
ter for interesting conjecture.
During the upward tour of tie
when the fake reports were
coming in, they were deluged with
orders from every. direction, aud
the flood Of instructions, wild guer-
les and kilograms of every character
bearing on the situation rolled III
unchecked all through the business
hours of the day.
These were supplemented later
on by more explicit informatian, all
of which meant money, and plenty
of it. Meanwhile scores of lengthy
cablegrams were rushed off, rang
ing in cost from So to $50. At
} o'clock yesterday afternoon the
bill of one firm for expla-
nations alone was over $3.50. From
that circumstance some faint idea
may be formed of the total expense
of telling how and why.

The Southern Railway.

We noted last week that the Southern Rail-
way contemplated putting in side track
which would run In rear OF q majority of the
biggest stores in Greenwood. We learn that
the survey has been made. and that the work
of grading will begin at or near the oil mill
in that city. Owing 10 the location of the
Seaboard Air Line depot. this side track will
give the Southern great advantage in the
freight business, and secures to that road al
most a monopoly OF the business. This de-
velopment was brought about because OF
some action on the part OF the Seaboard
which gave displeasure to some of It's best
customers. 1t seems to be pity for good
road to be so managed as to create quarrels
between Itself and its best customers, and II
is q matter OF regret that 1t unnecessarily
makes enemies OF those who would be Its best
friends. The road seems to be unfortunate.
The service is generally very good, but It's art
in raising fuses with Its customers is mar
vellous. and, 1t occurs TO US, must be injuri.
ous to It's business interests.
