CENTRAL AND SOUTH
AMERICAN STATES,

The secession of Panama may be
the beginning Of revolution in the
st ,tus of all those Central and South
American States which for 80 many
years-in fact ever since their inde-
pendence Of European control--have
been in almost constant turmoil.
The advance in ease and facility OF
communication between all parts of
the world, and the commercial inter
course established among nations, is
such that stability OF government
everywhere is insisted upon, AMI if
the United States is determined to
maintain the Munroe doctrine, she
must see that good order prevails in
the territory in which she reserv s
exclusive right of interference.
DR.. Strong, in his great book "Our
Country" claims that the Anglo
Saxon race will always dominate in
its association with other races, and
this big republic must fulfill its
duty to keep order in the Western
hemisphere. The failure Of the Latin
races in America to establish success
full States, is due, not so much TO
lack Of energy, as lack OF race pride
and race antiphathy, so characteristic
Of the Anglo Saxon.
Experiments have shown that in
mixing breeks violent crosses i. G..

The people of the latin American
States, with few exceptions, are a
mixture Of at least three of the five
types Of mankind into which the in
habitants OF the world are divided
and 1T is no wonder that they full at
self-government.
The correctness Of the position of
the South in its firm stand against
miscegination Is becoming more and

ening OF view produced by the unex
pected results Of the Spanish -Ameri.

We take the following from the
Iorkville correspondent to the News
and Courier, in regard to bird hunt
ing:
"The outlook is that bird slaugh-
terers are up against the real thing
in this year. The landowners are
posting their lands and warning all,
without distinction, as to race, color,
ETC.. not to shoot or hunt on their
premises, under penalty Of having
the law against trespassers rigidly
enforced against any who may disre-
gard the warning. The farmers are
beginning to appreciate the value of
partridges and other so-called game
birds as insect destroy ers, and have
also been brought to realize that un-
less something is done to check the
rapid increase in the number apd va.
riety of insects that prey on field
crops Of various kinds, as well as veg.
etables and fruit trees, in few more
years they will be at the mercy OF
this enemy, which it seems an al
wise Providence provided the birds tc
keep in check"

Panama seeded from the United
States of Colombia because her su.
preme interests demanded it. South
Carolina seeded from the United
States of America for the same rea-
son. Their cases are Identical.
The republican government at
Washington approved, and it is be-
lieved, aided and abetted the seces-
sion of Panama, but resisted the Sc
cession Of South Carolina with the
bloodiest and most destructive war of
modern times.

The farmers of my community
have gotten all their corn gathered,
cotton nearly all picked and on the
market, and the gee and haws" can
be heard in the wheat field Some
few have frequent meals of 'possum
and 'tater. The cotton and wheat
crops were short, but corn is good.
Those that make enough to do them
have that now. The price of cotton
being good farmers will get out of
debt, most of them. Some will clear
some money. l have heard men of
two and three horse farms say the
frost cut their cotton off from a half
to two bales. Ones loss may be the
most direct road to his gain. Our
defeats and victories are twin sisters.
live were all temperance people, it
would be far better for us. Many
people spend money for liquor or
strong drink according to the money
that they have in their pockets and
not according the welfare of their
families. The rural schools are
opening here and there, and many a
child has not sufficient books to keep
it busy. and the blame of the child s

News Notes From Trough.

sion that very little is being done
here; and that the place is quite
dead. have been asked by several
persons if our merchants had not
closed their doors. 1t is true that

that all enterprises as well as indi-
vlduals have suffered greatly as a
result of the food, but | feel pro.
vokcd to say that Pacolet is no; dead.
Oar merchants are doing business at
their respective places aud expect 10

agement seems to be doing all they

mis-, to put the mills in operation
Our people are willing TO endure the
embarrassment of the present, be,
cause they believe that the future
has better things in store. We have
confidence in the mill authorities aud
faith in God and firmly believe that
the Pacolet which is to be will
be in no respect inferior to the Pac
olet tlat was. We are not in the
reign of despondency, as might be
supposed, but we shall live in hope
so long as the strong current of Pac-
olet river and the money and brains
and the good will of the Pacolet Man

here.

session by Thanksgiving. AS two
thirds of the Senators are on record
"a in favor Of the Cuban treaty,
there il of course not the slightest
chance that the bill which is to ien-
der the same effective, will fail to
pass the Senate. The speeches of
the Democratic Senators will prob
ably be explanatory rather than in
opposition to the bill, aud there may
be general debate on the tariff.
In the House the debate lasted
several days, but as the majority re
fused to allow the Democrats to sub
mit any amendments. the speeches
were principally denunolations of the
tariff policy Of the Republicans and
Of their refusal to grant larger con-
cCSsionS to Cuba.

As was predicted years sgo, tt Q
high price Of cotton has stimulated
it's cultivation in many parts Of the
world. Both England and Germany

chiefly in the West Indies and in
C' ntral America that much will be
produced in the near future.
Cane sugar is not now so profitable
as it was before the introduction Of
beet sugar. and experiments last sea-
son with cotton proved so promising
that large crop will be planted next
year.
Especially is this the case in Cuba,
where many planters from the South
ern States have gone into the busi-
ness, making such a complete sue
cess that the crop will be very great.

So far only sea-island or long staple
varieties have been planted, but
hereafter ordinary short staple kinds
will be grown.
If the beet sugar interest of the
United States had not prevented
Cuban sugar entering this country at
low import duty, perhaps the Gu
bans would not have turned to cot
ton.
