New Disease Among Animals.

Charbon or anthrax, which is raw
aging the plantations Of the Missis-
sippi delta and killing the cattle,
horses and mules at a fearful rate, is q
new disease to Us, ss it probably is to
most Of our readers. Reports from
the infected distrie; say the disesss is
spreading, and horsaAies and mosqui.
toas are credited with being RESPONSE
bic for a large part in the disssmina-
tion Of the infection. The name of
the disease, anthrax, is Of Geek ori
gin, and Webster's de6aition Of it is:
"A earbancle; . malignant boil, &C.
companied With gangreen Of the celu'
lar tissue"
One authority describes the disease
as 7irulent silnent among horses and
sheep, often producing death within
twelve to forty-elght hours. It seldom
makes its appearance in man. In most
acute csses the sniGal5 fall as if they
had received a severe blow, and 90 into
Commissions. The pulse is quick and
the Breathing rapid and labored. In
such instances, death usually occur
within q few hours. In less acute
cases, the animal loses appetite and
bec,mes fe7erish and thirsty, and suf.
fers intestinal troubles. The fcst at.
tack may pass of, only to be succeeded
by a second attack, which usually
proves fatal. The mortality from an
thrsz is very high. No specific has yet
been discovered for the disease. Pre-.
7entive incubation mas been praoticed
in some sections with some degree OF
SUCCESS.

The Texas Cotton Crop.

Mr. Har7ie Jordan, Of Macon, Ca,
President Of the Southern Cotton
Growers Association, has just returned
from trip to Texas where be made
tour Of that State in the interest Of the
association. With regard to the or
ganizstion there he said that it was
more thorough than in any other State
with the exception Of Georgia. Every
county has its organizer and the State
is being flooded with literature calling
on the farmers. to organize for protec-
ton. Mr.. Jordan Travelled all over
Texas and says that the cotton crop
cannot possibly be as large there as it
was last year, notWithstandingthe fact
Of increased acreage. For the most
part this increased acreage is repre-
sented by cotton planted on grain laDds
after the grain had been cut off and the
cotton will not amount to anything.
BE said be talked to business men IN
all the principal cities and the uniVer-
sal opinion vas that the cotton crop
would be less than last year. When
asked about cora he said that there
would be about third Of . crop.
Texas is well adapted for any plsnt
with tsp root in case Of dry weather.

A Brave Girl.

Wnen burglar attempted to enter
the residence Of ". q. HIttleston, 294
East avenue, Atlanta, Tuesday night,
he was met by very courageous young
lady with pistol in her hand. Mr..
Huttleston and mis- wife left home to
spend th evening with friends and
their daug 4, Miss Carrie, remained
st home with her grandmother. About
9 o'clock the young lady discovered
that burglar was trying to break into
the house through . rear window that
had been left open. She quietly got
her pistol and slipped into the yard by
going around the side of the house. For
young woman to attempt in this way
to head off burglar, and she at home
and unprotected, was about as brave .
deed as a lady might well perform.
Miss Carrie did it, and when she ssW
the burglar dart away in the darkness
she deliberately fred two shots at him:
The burglar ran around the house snd
Miss Carrie again headed MIN of and
fired two more shots. The only reason
she missed him was because it was too
dark for her to get good aim, and the
burglar kept on the run.

With sgonizing screams and his eyes
bu!ging from his head, John Wesley
Pennington, a negro, was burned at
the stake near Enterprise, Ala, Thurs.
day, before crowd Of fi7e hundred en-
RACED citizens Of Coffee county. The
assemblage was composed Of both
whites and blacks, and although the
negro plead for mercy and frsnticslly
endea7ored to break the chains that
tightly bound bim, not trace Of sym
pathy was shown on the hardened faces
that peered at him through the flames.
Pennington had committed an assault
upon Mrs. j. G. Davis, the wife OF a
prominent farmer Of Coffee county and
had confessed his guilt. The crime
was committed on Thursday afternoon
while Mrs. Davis was gathering 7ege-
tables in her garden: AS soon as she
regained her senses, Mrs. Davis crawl:
ed to the house and told her husband
what had happened. A large posse
was quickly organized and with blood;
hounds they chased the negro until
early il the morning, when he was cap
tured in swamp.

A dispatch from Pittsburg, Pa, IN.
der date Of August 6, says: The die is
cast. The battle Of the giants is on in
earnest, whether to ignomiaious de-
feat Of one side or the other, or com.
promise, remains to be seen. Up to
Tuesday evening it was merely sHrm-
ish, each side trying to find the vul-
aerable spot in the others armor. Now
it is different, brought about by tho
actual Insurance By President Shafer
Of the long talked Of general strike or
der. This order was promulgated
Tuesday evening to take effect after
the last turn Of the mills on August
10Th. What the result will be no man
can fortell, but Judging by the ex-
pressed determination Of both par
ties to the soaattsrss7Fsrsy the battle will
be Waged fast and furioaSis Much
money will be lost, thousands upon
thousands Of men will be idle, great
suffering is looked for, even bloodshed
and death are possible and feared.
The strike csll includes practically
all Amalgamated men in the United
States Steel corporations employ not
now on strike. It was issued from the
Amalgamsted association headquarters
aud mailed to all Amslgamated lodge
officials who are expected to call their
men into the strike.
The text Of the cali follows:
Brethren: The officials Of the
United States steel trust have refused
to recognizs IS union men those who
are nov striving for the right to organ
izs. The executive board has author
lied me to issue call upon all ANAL
gamsted and other union men in name
and heart to join in the movement to
fight for labor's rights.
"We must fight or give rp forever
our personal liberties.
''You will be told that you signed
contracts, but you never agreed to sur.
render these contracts to the United
States Steel corporation. It's officers
think you were sold to them just as the
mills were, contracts and all.
Remember you agreed to any con-
tract you took an obligation to the
Amalgamated association. It nov calls
you to help it this hour Of need.
''Unless the trouble is settled on or
before Saturday, August 10, 1901, the
mills will close when the last turn is
made Oh that day.
Brethren, this is the call to pre-
serve our organic zstion. We trust you
and need you. Come and help Us and
may right come to just cause.

EErIB LIC SPECIAL.
New York. April 20.-Leon Auscher writes
thu from Paris to the Herald:
Much has been written, and still more
ink will be spilled on the subject of auto
mobile races. Some common them, Others
condemn them, and yet they continue tf
prove their vitality not only by interesting
the press and people of all classes. but py
taking place.
1T is to be regretted that Of late this
question has become one of club or per
sonal rivalry. 1t is supremely unjust to be
for or against racing because one belongs
to a certain party. and one can but deplore
this manner of reasoning, based not on
facts, but on afinities. which end as a rule
In sophism:.
"One has a perfect right to be for or
against racing, but al opinion should not
be formed without having thoroughly
studied the subject in all its phases. This
/ have done, and the advantages and disad-
vantages of racing / shall now endeavor
to present.
II think, to begin with, that the question
should be looked at both from a past and
present point of view, and If one asks
whether automobile races up to the present
day have helped in a marked manner to de-
velop this industry, the unanimous reply
would be. Yes
Having studied the reasons for APPROX
ing these races, in a past sense. | have
asked myself the same questions with re-
gard to the future, and have infinitely ex-
amined every argumen for and against
their maintenance. This done. / have come
to the conclusion that races
should be continued.
Unparalleled Results.
'1n five years-from 1895 to 190o-this in
dustry has done what no other industry Iid
before it, and has given, both as regards
quantity and quality. results which one
might justly call fantastic-results which
will never be repeated. excepting perhaps
by aeronautics the day when aerial naviga-
ton has been solved.
And to what has this sudden and spirit
