John y. Upton. chairman of the Board
Of Health for Carroll county, has just
returned from a tour OF inspection in the
neiehborhood Of Rorer postof:c, about
twenty miles southeast Of Hllsyille and
near the Patrick line. He says there are
i've Or six cases of genuine smallpox in
that nei2hborhood. 1t appears that the
infected parties contracted the disease
in Mt Airy, \. c.. where they had been
to market with their produce. When they
first began TO complain. their unsuspect-
ing neigibors came in from far and near
to see them and render such services as

consequently there are about twenty-five
or thirty exposures to be looked after

A wrsE suaaEsrToN.

The Advertiser few days ago pub lished letter from an Alabamian who is now in Pekin. In his letter, after stating the great possibility for an inn mense cotton trade between the cot ton States and China, he suggested the 'propriety of an accredited agent from the cotton mills of the South going there armed with full authority ito make any contracts or offer any in- ducements that his judgment dictates" The Atlanta Journal copies much of the letter and adds:
 This testimony is in line with all that we have seen on the subject from intelli- gent and impartial sources.
 The cotton mills of the South are im- proving their classes of goods continually, but they are already masters of the mar ket in the manufacture of those lines of cottons which are most generally used in China.
 In these the Southern mills have no ri- vals in America or elsewhere who can beat or even match them in the Chinese markets.
 The suggestion of The Advertisers cor respondent that the Southern cotton man ufacturers adopt some means to obtain fuller information Of the needs and tastes of the Chinese is eminently practical.
 In order to make the most of the great opportunities fin China which may be inn proved by them our manufa cturers of of Narkets there than most of them now pOssess

THE ENGLISH AND THE BoERs

C1N1b1oh 0NO 414J US4l4eAS'
 Recently MT. c. Arthur Pearson, one of the most extensive publishers in England, visited this country and one of the first deliverances a reporter got out of him was this:
 The war would have been over year or more ago but for the idiotic. childish kindness of our people in their treatment of those fellows. If we had stood them up against a wall and shot them down, as any other nation would have shot reb- els down. the war would have been end ed long ago.
 As we have seen no denial of this statement, we may assume that it was really made, and it evinces a degree of savage brutality hard to credit in an Englishman. It reminds us of ex- pressions which were freely used by some of the more blood thirsty of the Northern people at the beginning of the Civil War. Such talk was not uncom- mon, though it was confined to those who were staying safely at home, and who were in no danger from the cer- tain effects which would have followed the shooting of Southern soldiers as rebels and traitors.
 This Pearson ought to have sense enough to see. if he does not, how Eng land would have fared if the policy he advises had been adopted. The Boers have been capturing British officers and privates all along from the beginning of hostilities, and if the English authorities had inaugurated the GUS tom of shooting those fellows" the example would at once have been followed by the Boers, and very prop erly so. Whatever such men as Pear son may think or say. the Boers were belligerents, and shooting their pris- oners down would have fully justified the same treatment of British prison CTS. Which side would have gotten the worst of 1t is hard to say, but such warfare would have been a disgrace to the civilized world, and England would have been to blame. Evidently, Pear son is a long distance mouth warrior.
 And, while on this subject, we note that some of the extreme English newspapers on this side the water are talking very fooishly in connection with the rumor that Dom Paul proposed to send out privateers, under letters of marque and reprisal, to prey on Brit ish commerce. We look on the rumor as absurd, because the Boer Govern ment has no means for providing and equipping such vessels and no ports from which to send them, and for these reasons we have no expectation of see- ing such a course adopted. But the contention of some American editors that if such vessels were prepared and sent out they would be considered pi- rates. and officers and crews hanged as such. is too silly for anything.
 Referring again to our Civil War. there are plenty of us who have not forgotten that when Confederate cruis- CTS first began to skim the seas, and to strike dismay and terror to the Northern heart, the Federal Govern ment seriously considered the propo- sition to treat such cruisers as pirates

MEANING OF CHATTANOOGA.

Doctor Wyman says: 'If the word Chattanooga is not Cherokee word as the learned Cherokee chief (Ross) asserts, 1t must be a word of Muscogee or Creek origin. It certainly is not a Choctaw name.
 If the word Chattanooga is of Creek origin 1t probably means The Long Ridge or Wall of Rock referring doubt less to Lookout Mountain, from the Creek Chatto. meaning Rock and Annukke meaning Ridge or Wall forming the Creek compound word Chattanukke, The Long Ridge of Rock With this may be compared the Creek word Chununnuggee in East Alabama. which means about the same thing. namely, "A Long Ridge
 What does the Big Injun" of the Mont gomery Advertiser think of this solution? :? Tuscaloosa Gazette.
 The Advertisers Big Injun" thinks Dr. Wyman Is correct and that the word is of Muscogee origin. In the old Creek or Muscogee. we have Chunnu- nukke, which literally means land thrown up in long banks or ridges; in short, a long ridge. In the modern Creek. Chanukse is "a ridge" The word Chattanooga might we'll mean a ridge or long hill of stone. It would not require a greater change from the original words than is found i'll many of our familiar Indian names.

and to hang their crews. We believe some officers and sailors were really condemned to death, but they were never executed. Not only was the Federal Government made to see that such a game would be reciprocal and would be largely in favor of the South ern Government, which could execute more prisoners than the North could. but 1t was very speedily and plainly made evident to the Government at Washington that treating Confederate sailors as pirates would be resented and prevented by all the civilized nations Of earth. Our then enemies soon learned to their thorough satisfaction that the pirate theory wouldn't work, and they dropped it very emphatically.
 The business of privateering is losing favor among modern nations, and will eventually fall under the ban of civili- zation, but the opposition to it has not yet reached a point where regularly commissioned privateersmen can be treated as pirates without the nation so treating them falling under the ban of other nations. It may be claimed that the Boer Government has no legal or international standing, but as the same charge failed to hold when ap- piled to the Confederacy, we are slow to believe that a Boer war vessel would be in danger of meeting the fate to which pirates are subjected.

A GOOD FALL.

That 1t isn't always safe to despise small things is proven by an account of what befell two mining prospectors in Arizona recently, and which is thus set out in a special to The Philedal- phia Times:
 They were sitting under a tree when back and then darted into a hole in the ground. Opening the hole with pick. Johnson drew out a small stone speckled with gold.
 Since then the men have worked stead fly and have struck vein so rich that it has produced gold assayed at S1 200 per ton. They have refused s4o,oOO for the claim.
 It is altogether probable that if this unfortunate lizard had fallen near. the men, no notice would have been taken of him, but when the animal caromed on Johnson's back. all his temper was aroused and he was determined to have the lizard or tear up the earth in the effort Thus the accident of such an insignificant thing as a lizard falling at a special time and in a special place resulted in a small fortune for two miners.
 The moral of the story is that even lizard may have its uses, in other ways than catching flies.

Says The Livingston Southern Home;

There Is no question about the fact that the Montgomery Advertiser is in error if it really thinks that all prohibition laws represent hypocrisy and subterfuge. We are sure that it is not the rule with pro- hibition laws in the South.
 No one has reason to speculate on what The Advertiser really thinks, because it always expresses itself in sound English and never hides its sem timents under a cloud of meaningless words. We oppose d State prohibition law, partly because we think the prin- cipIe wrong, and partly because such laws have always proven futile. And we must further remind our contem- porary that no Southern State has tried such law

The very sus- picion of conspiracy by faction of the Democratic Party Is harmful. Why should all other subjects be openly dehsted and only the question of sut frage be secratly discussed? Some gen tlemen signed the request for such a meeting in thou ehtless moment and they should rectify the error by ah- senting themselves from the caucus. It has no power to bind the action of the dclega tes. and such a gathering under the name of Democracy will in tensify the opposition of all other parties. and disgust many of the lead ing Democrats. Such men know and have often said that the Convention is not a party cnnclave.
