Koehler, daughter of Mrs. Craven, testi-
fed that she was shown a marriage con-
tract between her mother and Senator
Fair in New York In june, 1892, and that
when she met Senator Fair for the first
time after the marriage, Senator FaGr
asked her "how she liked her new ia
ther."
She testified that Senator Fair had ten
dered her money, drafts and letter of
credit, but she declined them, as she was

keep her independent. Senator Fair de-
sired her to abandon the life of an ac-
tress, but she refused.

WILD EXCITEMENT
ON COTTON EXCHANGE.

NEW YORK. Feb. 2S.-The widest
excitement of recent years prevailed
on the cotton exchange today. Trans-
actions reached the enormous total of
100000 bales. Shorts were furious to

pressure that brokers would be offer

offering to sell it. While the demand
was general and largely from Eu-

LONDON, March 1.-Gen. Buffers dis
tinct success in storming Peters hill
brings rescue of Ladysmith nearer, but
the war office intimated last evening that
an Immediate announcement of relief
need not be expected. The goings to
and fro at midnight of officers and mes
sengers suggested that important news
had been received. If this were the case
Lord Lansdowne obviously desired to
sleep on it before taking the public into
his confidence.
AS his message reveals, Gen Buffers
successful attack came after the hard
fighting of Friday, and it was improvised
and it's execution begun during the ar
mistice of Sunday. In proffering the ar
mistice the British commander stipulated
that both sides should be free to move,
but that neither should do any shooting
He was therefore within his privilege in
Immediately beginning to transfer his
troops.
Gen. Buffers tidings come with his
usual long list of casualties. His losses
in the four attempts to get Gen. White
out aggregate 1000 Ladysmith is in
desperate straits, Charles Williams, the
military expert, says he learns on very
high authority-presumab that of Lord
Woleseley-"that Gen. Whites force Is
almost at its last gap"
This Is not so much" says Mr.. Will
Jams, ION account of any lack of pro-
visions or of ammunition, neither of which
is yet exhausted, as because of the poi
sonous waters of the Kip river and the
evil effects of the heat on the terraine
where the garrison. must reside Even
those who have escaped fever, diarrohea,
dysentery are in a state Of low vitality.
They can still man trenches and would
probably hold their own against last
desperate assault. but they can initiate
nothing. Gen. Butler now knows that as
units they are of no use to him.

EDUCATE.

Our citizens are awakening to an
appreciation Of educational attain
ments, not only in the more solid
branches, but in the culture of art Of
every description. We have long since
planted the little seed which we hope
will grow strong and firmly rooted as
the oak which thrives so b0untifully
upon our coast, but we also need to
have the flowers-the fruit blossoms
of knowledge to burst forth and give
fragrance and beauty TO this tree OF
knowledge. On this coast, which
seems to have been made by nature to
give the student the health Of body
and mind. which can come to him only
with fresh, pure air and abounding
space, why should we not havea grand
educational Institution which should
fulfil all the requirements OF a bril-.
liant college, one which will embrace
not only the Southern youth, but also
the boy from the North who would
lmblbe the charm Of Southern life
along with the arts and sciences.

GREAT SEA VIEW.

Has the idea struck no one as TO
what could he accomplished in the
way Of effecting a sea view along the
Louisville & Nashville railroad be-
tween Pearl river aud Pascagoula
river, simply by the clearing away Of
trees and grasses. 1t would do away
with the weariness OF travel and en-
chant the eye.
The L. & N. runs parellel, striking
the sound always within IA few yards
and traverses the sound itself across
several long bridges, What a novelty
this would be, it would draw travel in
this direction, differing so distinctly
as IL would, from all northern points.
Who will have sufficient enterprise
and take up this idea and carry it out?
1t is not only feasible. but would
create a demand for all the vacant
lands adjoining the different resorts.

Biloxi and the Seash0re Camp Grounds.

Why Is lt2

The Chattanooga News explains
why it is that the negro is more
abused by Northern than by Southern
men. The News says:
I" In this city, where the white pop
ulation Is about equally divided be-
tween those OF Northern birth aud
those Of Southern birth, it is a CON.
m0nly.acCepted fact that the South
erners have far more patience with
the inferior intellectual and moral
standard Of the negro than the North.
ernerS have. The SevereSt and most
denunciatory criticism Of the negro as
servant and citizen, the writer of this
has ever heard. came from the lips OF
transplanted Northeners. The reason
for this is that most Northeners have
grown up in an atmosphere OF Sickly
Sentimentality in favor Of the negro
and when they come South to live In
actual contact with him, a terrible re-.
action from this sentimentality fol-
lows. The Southerner, on the other
hand. brought up with the negro un.
der his observation from his infancy,
sees and knows him as he is and does
not expect the impossible Of him. All
of which would indicate that the
people of the several Southern States
are in far better position to deal intel.
ligently with the civil and political,
as well as the social aspects of the
race question than the balance of the
