The big tent in which the meetings
of the Christian Endeavor conven-
ton were held at Denver collapsed
last Monday while over 5000 people
were inside. The sides of the tent
had been raised to admit air and this
enabled sudden wind to lift the
canvas. More than a dozen people
were injured, but none seriously.

INDUSTRIAL PURSUITS.

And the industrial pursuits still
pursueth in this grand old state not
withstanding the great interest being
manifested in the Leon and CASTOR
political controversy now engaging
the attention of the people through
the columns of nearly every news
paper. The governor is making good
headway-we do not mean with this
campaign for United States senator,
but in signing the many charters sent
him-and your Uncle Anse is sitting
cross legged at his beautiful Brandon
home watching the states rapid
Industrial progress. He remembers
when he was once citizen of one of
the cow counties, then considered the
poorest county over which a crow ever
few, but now worth dollars per acre.
In fact it is said that no crow never flew
over it. One began the trip once. but
starved before he reached the opposite
side.
And no one down here In these
long-leaf piney woods can be induced
to talk politics five minutes They
are all too busy making sawdust and
lumber piles and keeping up with the
prosperity of this section. If candi-
date should approach a voter in this
section and ask to vote for him for
governor as apt as not the voter, alb
sent-minded, would reply by asking
him how much, the size and the grade
of lumber he desired.
People down this way are not talk
ing politics. They are talking lum-
Der and prosperity and such matter.
They do not care to learn much about

4 BAD BREAK.

Late yesterday, just before going to
press, the Progress received and pub
lished about five lines of Geographic
news from its jackson correspondent
stating that the leyee ten miles south
of Greenville had broken and the
break VISA three miles wide, but these
were the saddest five lines of news
that the Progress has published in
many days. 1t means the overflow of
a vast amount of territory and the
destruction of thousands of dollars
worth of property and the delay IN
farming operations. Thousands of
people, however, were not to be fooled
by the high water and took time by
the forelock and had moved them
selves and stock and what property
they could to higher ground, TINS
saving their stock aud property and
perhaps hundreds of human lives.
But they lost much and it will take
O long time and hard labor to regain
They have one consolation, how
ever, as the river is falling now at
nearly every place from Cairo to New
Orleans the overflow will be of shrOt
duration and the planters will yet
have time to make good crops pro-
vided they will have or can secure the
means to raise them. Moving out
and moving in again will naturally
entail great loss, besides the time
spent in doing so. A farmers time
is valuable from the first of January
until the last of December and there
is not day of it that he can safely
spare. But still the food would be
much worse should it have come later
and remained till later in the. year.
The planters of that section have
the undivided sympathy of the hill
counties, even out here in the long
leaf pine sections where floods do not
interfere but a few hours with the
buzzing of the saw mills or the hum
of the planners.

A MASSACRE PREVENTED.

1t is stated that up in Pamela
county, this state, not many weeks
ago, the colored people took it upon
themselves to act the big Indian or
big fool heap and massacre all the
white people in the neighborhood.
Hence they held meetings and organ
lied, all in the most secret and solemn
manner, but their objects leaked out
through an old negro woman of the
neighborhood who had overheard some
of the negroes doing the planning and
she told some of the white people.
But they did not pay much attention
to it until they were warned by others
when they concluded it was about
time to take some action, and securing
the names of some of the negroes
known to be familiar with the inten-
tions and objects of the secret organ
izations informed them that the
white people of that section would
also like to attend one of the meetings,
OF, WD&G WOu4Q D6, U0bb0I, lOl bIlO
white men to hold meeting and al
low the negroes to attend it. AS the
negroes evidently saw that the cat had
been let out of the bag and their little
scheme was liable to explode some of
them attended the meeting called by
the white people. At this meeting OF
course the originators of the scheme
were very prominent for their absence
| and the information was also obtained
that they were fearfully in earnest in
pulling dirt for some other section
| with the full intention of being alb
sent all the summer if not longer.
But the white people treated the
negroes present cordially, but. merely
as a matter of business, for which the
meeting was called, told them to say
to their friends, those who were still
| in the country and who had interested
themselves in the organizations, that
they should travel for their health
and that they had only five days il
which to bid their friends a long fare
we'll. Then the meeting adjourned
and the massacre did not take place
on schedule time and all is quiet il

\ MISAPPREHENSION.

Poultney Bigelaw attempted on one
occasion to interview Dom Paul Kru-
ger and met with about the same fate
that many interviewers have had
with the former president of the
Beers, says the Kansas City Star. He
found the old man in very bad
humor, and could get only monosyl-
lables in relpy to his questions. He
employed every. art of the interviewer,
bat to no avail. Finally, despairing
of getting any information of use to
him by straight questioning, he de-
termined to be diplomatic and ap-
proach Mr.. Kruger from his family
side. So he said, very nonchalently.
Is your wife entertaining this sea-
son?'' Short and sharp came the
gruff answer: Not very" And

During the last thirty days there

During the last thirty days there
have been landed at the port of New
York nearly sixty thousand foreign
immigrants or about fourteen thous-
and more than for the same time last
year. 1t would appear from this that
the more immigration laws congress
passes and, Notwithstanding the fact
that the immigranst are inspected on
the other side of the ocean as we'll as
on this, the greater is the number that
comes to the United States. At this
rate foreign immigrants will be as
thick as hops some time in the future
and may have the tendency to help
solve the negro labor question, espec-
tally the "lady COOK of the house.

The grand jury of Winston county
at the special March term examined
lO4 witnesses and found IL true bills.
This is fine showing for that county,
but there may be change in the con-
dition of things in the number OF
crimes committed after the county has
a railroad-a change for the better. 1t
is a we'll known fact that a railroad
is a great civilizer, but the fact that
it brings more people together and in
a more compact way would naturally
make crimes more frequent. Let this
be as it may, Winston and other
counties will take all the railroads
they can get and the state would be bet
ter off if roads crossed each other In
nearly every county. Roads have de-
veloped south Mississippi and this
section is reaping prosperity in great

chicago Grain and Provisions.

Chicago. Jan. 24--A new high. mark was recorded on May wheat today, the top notch being reached at s2 s-s and af- Ter an active session the close was 7-SI1c higher; May corn was IA to S-Sc higher and oats were up Is. Provisions were Mrm. the May products being up from 6 to 5@7 l-2c.
 Wheat opened quiet compared with the activity manifested of late, and for a time the outlook was for a sharp de- eline. but the, confidence of the longs was restored and a good advance was made. There was continued buying by the lead 1ne long. which was helped materially by 9he decidedly bu1lish reports from France ana an advance equal to over 1 cent at Paris. Cables were barely steady, re- cefpts were small and the weather was favorable. May opened unchanged to 1-4c. higher at s1 Is to S1 3-8. but soon de- clLned, to 30 -7-S.. Buying, became quite acc five at the lower figures and steady advance fwag made and late in the ses- sion liberal covering by shorts carried the price up to g. 5-S. During the last half, hour there was large amount Of liquidation aIid+a reaction set in,- the close being steady with May 7-S to 1c higher at s2 1-S. A 1afga part of Sthe late zselling was credited to the chief bull interest Clearances of wheat and flour were equal 70 300 bushels. Primary receipts were k9ls 200 bushels. Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts of 400 cars, with local receipts of A none contract made total receipts for the three points of AL &&340aL S50 laSL week and 443 a year ago.
 Corn ruled firm, the strength in wheat being the main supporting factor Local traders were all active in pulling the market Offerings were light and prices responded readily to the generally bulIish sentiment. It is reported that the same interest that is manipulating the wheat market is long big line of the yellow cereal The weather was favorable for the movement but the car shortage was stin a drawback to liberal receipts. The close was firm with May 1-4 to 3-Sc high CT at 44 7-S 70 45. after selling between 1z 6-s and 45 Is. Local receipts, 4s8 cars { contract grade.
 Oats were firm in sympathy with wheat. There was no significant trade. Local traders favored the buying side and offer ings were light. The close was steady with May Is higher at 36 1-4 to 3-S after ranging between 36 1-8 and 36 1-2: Local receipts 235 cars.
 Provision were rather dull but a strong feeling prevailed on a good general de- mAnd for the May products on outside orders. Lighter receipts for hogs and a firm market at the yards were early bull factors and the strength in grain added to the upward tendency. The close was firm with May pork up 1-2c at sl6. 90: May lard closed cents higher at S965. and ribs were to l2 cents higher at s9.27 1-2.

New York Jan. 24,-May sold at S.75 this morning, a new low level, but at once sold up to SIS. There was no change in the situation in any respect receipts get ting larger in comparison with last year but with enough buying by shorts to take all the cotton offered, and at the same time prevent a break. It was the same story today.
 Holders continued to look for and to work for highor prices, though here and there some cotton came out on the de- cline Stop loss orders at S.76 were exe- cuted and this prevented prices from go7 ing up much, but some how there was no break and no great weakness. New Or leans broke sharply and then recovered quickly.
 It Is still an open question whether this market is one where selling is pre- venting an advance or one where buying is preventing decline. We would like to see the market act under the move ment week after next. If 1t holds under larger receipts the situation twill be such as to encourage more buying. As 1t is. there is every inducement to take profits on an advance and wait for break be- fore buying. There has not been a good break in the market and we would like to see change of prices before taking a firm stand on the market.
 Liverpool does not show strength and May cotton in New Orleans Is now twen- ty points from the top. We were only twelve at that time and only fifteen when New Orleans was twenty-six from the top. There has been no reaction and yet New Orleans is off a quarter cent.

New Orleans spot Cotton.

New Orleans. Jan. 24.-Spot cotton quiet, buyers and sellers being apart in their views. Factors were demanding yesterdays board figures, which buyers would not pay and it was only in cases where the latter were enabled to secure concessions that the trades were closed. The sales record for the day covers only 205O bales of spots and 45O bales to ar rive. Quotations unchanged.
 Contract cotton was fairly active with rather wide fluctuations. The market opened 10 points lower; thls was fol- lowed by a further loss of four to five points. There was a reaction from the extreme low level, however, on the strength of excellent print cloth trade reports from the East and the fact that New York failed to respond adequately prices were bid up again with occasional fluctuations until at the noon call the board showed net losses for the day of to 6 points on the several months.

Especial to The Advertiser.

IDpeCtdl lO The AuNcTlSct-l
 New Orleans, Jan. 24.-As Liverpool ad- vices were disappointing our market re- sponded by opening 6 points lower and subsequently declined to 5 points addi- tional on the free port and Interior re- ceipts. About this time large sustaining orders came in, causing an advance of to points from the bottom, making the net loss to points on the day. The fact that the January movement IS only slightly less than last year to date, and that the amount marketed last year during this month was practically rec ord breaker. being exceeded only once by 47,00O bales in 1898, has made traders do some thinking, especially as the pres ent weeks amount brought into sight Is the last heavy comparison to be over come. In the meanwhile the statistical position has been weakened considerably during the past two weeks as the visible supply has gained 5000 relatively over last year, and the takings of American cotton during the same time has been 57 600 less. This demonstrates that there Is not the brisk demand for spots which existed for weeks and as outsiders show no disposition to enter the market act lively for deliveries 1t will require con- stant buying to maintain prices Under such conditions we suggest being con- servative, and think purchases should be made on decided breaks only. Receipts will, however, continue to govern.
