Cotton From Dixie.

The COURIER Office had pleasant
call from Mr.. F.%. Tilford, who is
prominently connected with the WI.
Rowe Knitting Co, of Huntsville.
Alabama. They manufacture all
kinds of knit underwear, and handle
all of their material from the raw
state to the finished product. Their
business extends throughout the
States.
Mr.. Tilfcrd presented the office
with some beautiful specimens of
raw cotton, in the shape of y number
OF bells, some of which had already
opened, aud were of an inch and a
half staple. There were other pods
vet unopened. 81
This cotton is planted in the spring
OF the year, aud the ma,ured crop is
gathered in three pickiugs, which
occurs between Sept. aud Nov. of each
year. The serious phase of the
labor question has not developed in
the cotton growing regions, and any
amount of labor is had there 1t 20
cents day. Negroes of all ages
furnish this labor
MIR. Tilford speaks in fattering
terms of the city of Huntsville. aud
says health conditions there are not
to be surpassed, either MS to conven.
fences of life, or the climate. The
town is supplied by magnificent
sprius, which furnishes million
gallons of pure crystal water per
hour. There is sufficient volume to
supply three or four cities of the size of
Huntsville. Mr.. Tilford is accompanied
on his visit to Berryvile by his wife.
who WAS formerly Miss Mary Moore
of this city.

Judging a Horse.

Z. +. Mathers, an expert horsemam.
writing in the Philadelphia North
American, gives the followin. as the
way horse should be Judged:
"Horses entered in the hunter anal
jumpers classes must have crrt.;n
measurements and specific points of
superiority before they can be classed
among the prize winners.
ain looking over an animal frum
the front, perhaps the most important
part is that between the hoofs aud
his shoulders.
1t is here where the judges have
their most difficult duty. Ten po:its
are given for soundness aud contour
in the fore limbs to the knees, ten far
strength displayed from the knees up
to and including the shoulders. Five
points are awarded for the head and
neck.
"The judges then view the horses
from the rear and if the requirements
are met with and the proper strength
is displayed in the hind quarters, ff
teen points more are allowed. Ten
more points are gwen for general
symmetrical appearance. This
makes up the fifty per cent. for con
formation.
"This examination is made before
the horse is shown in action. For
his performance then he can gain
another fifty points and the two
averages added together, fifty for
natural gifts and fifty for conduct
in action, determine his standing"

Speaker HenderSOn'S Resignation.

The refusal of Speaker Henderson
to stand for reelection augurs we'll
for Democratic success in the coming
November elections. He bases his
declinatiOn on his tariff views. which.
he claims, are noe in harmony with
those of his party. or the Admins
tration. The leaders of his party
have deciphered the handwriting on
the wall, and are trimming their
sails to catch the wind. But not so.
Mr.. Henderson. He is no trimmer.
lie cannot give up his high tariff
views lie has contended for them
for twenty years. His views are dyed
in the wool and woven in the wool.
And, approaching the fact that Gov.
ernor Boies, the great western refor
mer, has a formidable following, he
throws up the sponge, and retires from
the contest.
In the meanwhile, the President
and other reformers, have been max
ing hysterical efforts to get the
speaker to reconsider. They know
this resignation is serious blow
to Republican Congressional
aspirations, and they are trying to
better the situation 10y holding Hen
derson up to party duty. Their
efforts have failed. Henderson fears
defeat at the hands of the doughty
Boles, and Mr.. Roosevelt aud others
must learn the lesson that "you can
not teach an old dog new tricks"

THE BATTLE OF WINCHESTER
September 19 Was the Thirty
Eighth Anniversary.

Friday, September 10, marked the
thirty eighth anniversary of The bat
tie of Winchester, in which the
armies of Gen. Phillip Sheridan, com
handing the Federal troops, and
Gen. Jubal Early, commanding the
Confederate troops, were engaged.
History shows that during the war
between the States there were four
sharp engagements fought in or very
near Winchester, and it is also mat
ter of record that the old town
changed hands seventy-odd times
during tho stirring years covering
the period between the date of Vir-
ginia's secession and the surrender
at Appomattox.
The battle of Winchester, which
occurred on September 10, 1864, was
the most important engagement in
which Winchester figured during the
war. Two armies, in each of which
there were over $4,000 men, partici
pated. This battle is often called
the battle of the Opequon, deriving
that name from the position occupied
by General Early.
For some days before the battle
the two armies had been maueuvering
near Winchester, General Early, com
handing l. 1000 men, finally taking
mp strong position along the banks
of the Opequon. Here he was attack
ed ~ Sheridan, who had 5000 men
In his command. The first attack
was repelled by Esrley's army with
considerable loss to Sheridan. The
latter, however, executed successful
flank movement aud threw bis army
at Early's line, striking it in weak
spot.
The Southern soldiers were defeat
ed by overwhelming numbers and
were forced to retreat, the greater
number of them falling back upon
Winchester. Sheridan captured
many prisoners and a great deal of
ammunition and supplies.
There are many people now living
who recall wildly the great fight and
the exciting scenes that were witness
ed when the news came that Early
had been defeated. The banks of
that placid little stream, the Opequon,
where the battle was fought. were
transformed into field of carnage
aud death and suffering. Thirty
eight years after, the memory of that
awful day lives wildly in the minds
of those who are left to recall the
gloom of defeat and disaster TO the
arms they loved so well. Many of
the wounded were taken to Winches-
ter, where they were tenderly nursed
back to health, while in peaceful
Stonewall Cemetery now rest the
heroes who gave their lives for the
fair Southland.

The Naked Truth

One f. a. Whitacre recently pub
lished in the Washington Post dia
tribe. charging Mosby's men with
killing prisoners, says the Charlottes-
vile Progress. In support of the
charge he gsrbled report of Colonel
Mosby's to General Lee, giving an
account of the operations of his com
mand in the Shenandoah Valley IN
1864, and quotes sentence from it
"About 30 horses were brought off.
but no prissners"-but omits the
context which states the reason why
no quarter was given. Whitacre was
guilty of misrepresentation by sup
pressing the whole truth. Here is
Mosby's full report. so far as it relates
to the killing Of house burners, with
General Lrr'S endorsement of his az

REFusED A LANDING.

SAN FRANCISCO, December &c,
Goodyer, an accountant from Sydney,
was taken from the steamer Sonoma
this morning just before the Spreckels
liner sails for Australia.
GOodyer was an inward bound pas
senger on the Sonoma when the steam
er arrived here a short time ago, COM
ing from Sydney. He had no money
and the immigration inspectors ques-
toned him closely, learning that the
Australian had a contract with an eX-
press company of Boston for two years.
The officers came to the conclusion
that Goodyer should be denied a land
ing under the contract labor law. They
accordingly ordered that the account
ant be returned to the land of the kan
CARGO. Goodyer's prospective employ
ers appealed to the officials at Wash
ington and this morning an order for
a temporary stay was telegraphed,
