sUPFRsTITIoNS OF THE MALAYS.
Peculiar Belief of an Eastern People in
Signs and omens.

From the Penang Straits Echo.
You can scarcely ever get your money
from n Malay on Friday. because they be-
lieve that if they pay their creditors on a
Friday they will be ovcrtaken by perjury.
Malays never shave or cut their nails on
Saturday or tuesday, because these are
unlucky days, and if they do part with their
hair or nails on these days they believe that
they will be always In trouble will die
quickly. The Malay never sleeps In the
afternoon, for such an action shortens life!
When a rat bites Malay's clothes, IT sig
nifies i'll luck and usually the rat-bitten
clothes are given away to the poor.
There is q kind of bird called by the Ma
lays Rowk-rowk which does not build
rest ana lives in fields. The Malays say
that whoever obtains q Rowk-rowks nest
will become invisible soon as he puts
the nest on his head. OF course, tine Ma
lays believe that there is such a nest, de-
spite the fact that the bird never builds
one.
If a Malay feels that his right hand Is
itchy, he is glad because ne will receive
large sum of money, and If he feels that
the right eye moves, nc knows that he VIII
see a foreign friend. II tears issue from
either eye, he understands that relative
@! his will die, and II he too often forgets
his promises to his many friends he il
aware that he will die and will shed tears
rather profusely.
Whel there Is an eclipse VI the i1ooH
sun the Malays abstain from taking food
and perform their additions, in order that
no contagious disease may attack them.
Crows are an Ill omen, and whenever
crow caw-caws near a Mclay habitation IL
means Geath to some one of the inmates.
Surprising a Malay walks along a road and
suddenly a black cat crosses before him,
he will at once turn back and walk along
another path The crossing of the black
cat signifies danger involving the loss OF
life.
You seldom see Malays bite their nails.
because this action is likely to lead tine doer
into poverty. If Malay sees pig or o.
Chinese funeral before the sun rises. say at
$50 am, he knows that he Is lucky, ana
whatever he does on this day he Is sure TO
meet with success. Dreaming of jumping
a brookIet assures the dreamer that death
will ensue in a short time, and In this case
the unhappy man generally distributes aims
to the roor so that his life may be pro-
longed To see a monkey in the morning is
an iii omen and signifies that the seer will
lose money heavily in trade.

Medical Use Of Whisky.
From the Hospital.

Whisky as an alternative~-to wine may
undoubtedly be employed incidentally with
advantage in certain cases, both for men
and for women. But this is very different
from the constant recommendation which
is suggested, as IT, indeed, doctors regard
whisky as a sort of panacea for every dis
ease under the sun, and take q perfect de-
light in urging its consumption upon their
patients AS a matter of fact, there never
was time when medical men were more
slow to prescribe the use of alcohol In any
form than they are in the present day, nor
a time when SO many RETAINED from adj
vising its use at all.

MOVE TO HOLD COTTON.
DELEGATES to Boil Weevi: Convention
in Shreveport VIII Also Fight
Wall Street Bears.

The Georgia, South Carolina and
Texas delegates in attendance upcl
the Boil Weevil Convention in Shreve.
port. Louisiana, conferred togeth-
ar Monday morning with a
view to organizatiin in furtherance of
a plan to hold cotton until prices re-
turn to the normal, that is 10 cents. 1t
was arranged to bring the subject and
plan to the entire body OF the dele
gates and secure adoption.
Delegates report that Is per cent
OF the farmers who have cotton on
hand are in condition 70 hold indefn'
itely for 10 cents, and will do so. The
belief is general that the gin1er's re-
port will show crop not exceeding
eleven and a half million bales. The
estimate by the government statisti-
clan is regarded as nothing more: than
a guess, and is regarded as absolutely
grounjlcss.
1t is understood that southern bank
ers generally will cheerfully aid the
farmers to hold by advancing, if desir'
ed, $50 per bale.
The concensus of opinion is that
farmers are more ready than hereto.
fore to stand together and to make
sacrifices if necessary to defeat the
schemes Of the bears who are seeking
to despoil them. Most experienced
farmers declare that ordinarily the
cost Of production of pound of cot
ton is cents, with higher prices for
farming implements, etc; actual cost
is 8 cents, and the producer is clearly
entitled to 2 cents pound for his Ia
Dor, etc. Farmers have never shown
themselves more in earnest or more
determined to stand to their Interest
tha nnow. They can thwart them. All
they have to Go is to stand firm and
united.
South Carolina farmers have an in.
spector at work in each county now
collecting crop information that will
be reliable and of great value to pro-
ducers. In Texas the merchants who
make advances will require diversified
ton of crops and smaller cotton acre.
age next year.
The ruling spirit is that the boil
weevil shall be killed and the bears
put to fight.
The feeling, which has ripened into
a conviction, is that if there is u
000,00o-bale crop, every pound is
worth 10 cents. 1t is further propos.
ed that arrangements be made next
year that cotton obligations be paya.
Bile in January instead of October and
November. These are matters tha:
will be perfected in detail.

The proposition of State Superir-

move the South Carolina Military
academy to Columbia and consolidate
it with the South Carolina college,
making a state university, has caused
a sensation and the superintendent is
being criticised, not because he fayors
the removal of the institution from
Charleston, which he is conceded to
lave a perfect right to recommend,
h;t on account Of the unkindly refer

removal Of the police station, which iss

Charleston is about to have another

this time the Charleston Terminal

ed to repair certain wharves and pro-
vide the storage and berth facilities
demanded by the best interests Of the
port.
Importers have recently had much;
trouble in securing berths for their
vessels, being forced to pay demur
rage in some cases because Of the fail
ure of the corporation to repair It's
'wharves and provide the automatic
appliances necessary Id unloading
bulk cargoes.
The business of the port is sincreas.
ing on account Of it being the deep
water port of the South Atlantic coast.
and the only port where the deepest:
draft vessels can enter easily. The
business people argue that unless the
wharves are kept up and deep water
provided in the slips, a deep channel
is of no use and the municipal author
ties have started an investigation
which will doubtless end in the rail-
roads being carried into the courts. ~
