Italy's Distinction.

In invention, scholarship, scientific
research and large enterprise, and in ma
tional pride without which no country
can claim the respect of foreigners).
Italy has an enviable distinction. It
honors its Intellectual men intelligently,
not by an ignorant notoriety, and money
does not take precedence of mind. If
it's plastic art has suffered commercial
eclipse, Italy is not unique in this ex-
perience, while in dramatic art it still
leads the world with Tommaso Salvini
and Eleonora Duse. In music and litera-
ture there is much activity and far
from complaisant public opinion Cen
fury.

Whence the Spots on Fur Of Animals

Although we are told that the leopard
cannot change his spots, tits certain that
the markings on the fur of some animals
do change. Especially is this true where
the ANIMAL has distinctive winter coat.
This change has been studied by Bar
rett Hamilton, British naturalist, who
is of opinion that whitening of the fur
generally accompanies development of
fatty tissue, which is manifestation Of
insufficient oxidation, and hence of
atrophy. which shows itself in whiten-
ing of the hair. In some animals-man,
for instance-this atrophy is manifested
by badness. That fat men are often
bald is thus something more than CO.
incidence.-Success.

shy Market Refused To BE Hammer
ed Yesterday.

New York, Sept. AFTER break
and a sharp recovery of 20 or 80 points,
you can be pretty sure the rally will
about all disappear before the market
is any good. This is what happened,
and from all accounts. the market is
now in pretty good shape. After sell
ing a 10 SOC and 10.25c on Friday
and reacting to above 10 soc yester-
day. the market for December was
around 33c and 10 35c early to-day
Then it was found that prices refused
TO go any lower. For some reason large
lots were sold in an effort to get the
list lower. but there was no hammer
ing the market. Prices would not so
down and when the large traders
found this out there was nothing TO
do but get back the cotton. The buy
ing put December up above 10 SOC east
ly. Reports from Texas were not good.
When the Washington people say the
Texas yield is below the average you
can make up your mind we are not
going to be swamped with cotton this
year. AS long as the frost question
has yet to be decided, there is not go
ing to be much risk in buying cotton
after such a break as this. Prices
are really not high for the present.

house. The child was returning from
the postoffice when she was accosted
by a mulatto man apparently about p
years old. who said to her:
Wont you shake hands with me ,"
81 won't" cried the child, and started
to run in the opposite direction. The
man seized her and began to choke her
I but her screams and outcries frightened
him and he ran into the woods nearby
Some boys at a flour mill in the
neighborhood, hearing her cries, ran to
the rescue and found her weeping and
almost frightened out of her wits The
marks OF the brute's fingers were on
her throat. Taken to the boarding
house the child soon recovered and was
able to give a clear recital of the in
cident. Search for the negro was i'm
mediately begun and a negro was
brought in but the girl said he was not
the man. A few hours later a second
negro was captured who tailed with
her description in general and the girl
identified him but not positively
Meanwhile, suspicion rests on ne
gro who recently came to Brevard from
South Carolina and searchers are look
ing for him. The negro under arrest
may be tried by the court now in SEES

county seat of Pennsylvania county and
close to the Sapphire country and the

year it is crowded with summer visi-
