Political Ostracism.

Hon. A. II. Whitfield, Chief
Justice of Mississippi's Supreme
Court, has a brilliant and bitter
article on The Political Ostracism
Of the South, in the current issue
of The Independent. That os-
tracism is to be deplored, and the
Republican party is to be con-
demned for its malevolence. But
in our opinion Southerners them
selves are largely to be blamed.
Too often our people are disposed
to elect representatives who can
"cuss the Yankees" loudest and
longest. Too often the Demo.
cratic party rests in a policy of
simply objecting to everything
proposed, instead of presenting a
constructive policy that will APP
peal to the conservative people of
the whole country.
Is not Judge Whitfield now sup
porting candidate for the Sem
ate whose only platform is a
promise to "cuss out the YAM
KEGS" regularly every day? We
regret very much that the brill
liant article of our Chief Justice
is marred by its bitterness.-Car-
rollton Conservative.

Signs Of a Hard Winter.

A Pennsylvania seer " h Z
claims to be able to read and I'M
derstand the "book Of nature
I predicts an unusually hard win
ter this year, and one which foi
severity and lasting qualities win
surpass anything Of the kind we
have endured in the last three
decades. According to this seer
the signs are all around him and
speak in language beautifully
plain TO him. For instance the
corn husks are very thick and
the stalks lean 10 the west. The
geese, ducks and chickens are
growing a thick coat Of down UNI
der their feathers, and their feet
are gradually taking on a bony
substance to better protect them
from the frost, ice and snow.
The owls are seeking the deepest
recesses Of the woods a month
earlier than usual, while the
squirrels are laying in. sweet po-
tatoes as we'll as nuts for winter
provisions.
He tells us that the experienced
farmers, whose bunions and chin
whiskers have marched behind a
pair of pillow handles for nearly a
half century, have observed with
a knowing LOOK that toadstools
on old logs have wrinkles on them
and when this last happened the
winter was was so cold the boots
of the farmers turned up at the
toes like skates, and the bark
split on the north side of the
beech trees.
We are not disposed to doubt
that the Pennsylvania knows ex-
actly what he is talking about,
but we regret that he does not
mention several other unfailing
signs of an extremely rigorous
winter. The wrinkles on the
toadstool is a pretty sure sign,
but all doubt as to the character
of the winter that is coming is
removed when two distinct curls
are seen in the tail of the October
'possum, and on moonlit nights
humpbacked rabbits are heard
drumming on hollow logs with
their hind feet and splitting the
juice of mullin weed between
their teeth. When these things
happen, and the skin of very
black negro looks ashy, it is time
10 see that the coal bin il filled

nels. For the signs may be ac-
cepted as warning that old Bor-

MYstery Of WashingtOn's Death.
Ylckaburg PoaI.

yicksburg Post.
Clement X. Shorter, an Eng
lish writer Of more or less dis
tinction, surprised everybody last
week by printing in a London
newspaper an article in which he
asserted there was q mystery
surrounding the death Of Gen.
George Washington about which
Americans hesitate to talk. II
there be mystery we should like
to know what it is.
George Washington caught cold
when riding over his plantation
at Mount Vernon on the after
noon of December -. 1899. For
eight hours later he died.
He was attended by three Of
the best physicians of that part
Of the country. He was bled no
less than three times to relieve a
sore throat, and he was dosed
with calomel enough to deprive a
healthy man of his life. But
what is the mystery?
Enlightened physicians FREE
quently assert that Gen. Wash
ington was killed, that he was
bled to death and poisoned with
calomel. Tobias Lear, his secre-
tary, says that after the doctor
had bled him to the extent of
half pint Washington interrupt
ted with the remark: "The cash
is not big enough; make it wi
der. ?" And the highly trained
professional idiot proceeded to
do so. "Does your throat feel
better?" asked the learned leech.
TITS very sore," murmured
Washington. When the second
arrived Mrs. Washing
ton tried to stay his murderous
hand by protesting that "the gen.
eral was too old a man to stand
much bleeding" eyes, yes,"
said the mighty doctor Number
Two, "I'll be cautious in blood
letting"
And then he proceeded straight
to rob his country's Father of a
full pint of life's most precious
fluid. When the third physician
had come he rolled his eyes SOL
EMMY and said: 81 will bleed
him." eve both tried that, "
said the other doctors. eyes,

ing sage, "but if blood letting
does not relieve him | must in
crease the dose of calomel." At

we are not surprised to learn that

life blood more slowly than it had

physicians retired and

That our American forests abound In
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
by scores of the most eminent medical
writer's and teachers. Even the untu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness Of many native plants before the
advent of the white race. This informa-
tion, impaired freely to the whites, led
the latter to continue investigations until
to-day we have rich assortment Of most
