Legend Of The Great Dipper

There is beautiful Legend told
of the Great Dipper, which begins
in the dear old-fashioned way,
"Once upon a time there was a lit
tie girl" The little girl lived in
a country where there had been
no rain for many months. Her
mother was i'll aud almost dying
with thirst, SO ono day the child
took small dipper and went into
the woods aud prayed that her
dipper b filled. Then she fell
asleep, and when she awoke her
dipper was OVERLOOKING with fresh,
clear water. Gladly she took it up
to run home to her mother, but
when she reached the bedside the
mother said you drink first,
for you are more tired and thirsty
now than l am" and a. tho little
girl took tho dipper she saw, to
her wonder, that 1t had turned to
silver in her mothers hand. Just
as the little daughter was going to
sip few drops of the precious wa
ter, the mothers nurse came into
the room, aud SO weary did she
look that the child hold out the
dipper, telling her to drink. And
as the nurse took the dipper it
changed from silver to FURNISHED
gold. I'VE will divide it among
u.s." said the nurse. but 40 she
spoke a tined traveller knocked at
the door, and with one accord the
mother and the daughter and the
nurse said Let him drink first"
The stranger smiled aud took the
dipper, and Immediately several
cleaning jewels glowed in it's
bowl and handle, and a great glo.
ry shined in the room. The spark
ling water overlooked the ground,
and a marvellous fountain sprang
up, quickly becoming a beautiful
river which wound in aud out
through the thirsty land, bringing
relief aud comfort to everyone.
BLESSED is be who gives sven a
cup of cold water in my name"
said the stranger, aud Immediate
ly the seven glowing jewels fosted
up and up into the skies, where
they may be seen on clear nights,
ever speaking of love aud unset
fishness to tiny little folks who
have learned to love old legend
aud the seven glowing stars which
form the great golden dipper.-

Mr.. j. W. Bailey, owner of the
st. Martin Ginnery returned to
bis home in Washington this
week. There Was 80 little cotton
raised near this place this year,
that the ginnery was iu operation
for only one week. The planters,
for the time being, at least, have
almost abandoned the cotton crop
to raise corn and cane and some
other crops which are surer and
safer than cotton. Our planters
have realized, however, this year,
that a good crop of cotton can be
made, the greatest damage this
season was done by rains more
than by the weevil.

TURN ON THE LIGHT.

The following able exposition OF the
political situation in this country at
the present time IS from the New
York World
No matter what big dictators Roose-
welt and Bryan may or may not do
whether they sulk or, whether they
fight the next house OF representa-.
tiycs is to be Democratic.
1t is to be Democratic not because
Of the superior virtue OF Democrats or
because the Democrats are in the ma.
jority or because there is the utmost
public confidence in Democrats, but
because there are tens Of thousands
Of Republicans OF independence and
courage who want a change and who
will vote to bring It about.
a Democratic congress is necessary
TO open the books and 20 turn on the
light Il is necessary to ascertain
what Senator Aldrich meant when he
said that good business man i'm
charge Of the national government
could save $500. 900 year II is
necessary TO establish once more tho
principle Of publicity and accountable

Of secrecy, waste. recklessness and
privilege.

HOW DRY THEY ARE.

The Tele3raph in news item to,
day attempy to convey the idea that
the selection of registrars on yester.
day indicated a fusion between the
Democrats and the wet element"
1t then speaks of the list of proposed
registrars submitted by the dry ele-
ment' of the Republican party. The
Telegraph would do we'll TO print each
list side by side and see which list
would suffer by comparison.
e. e. Carter, who until February
last was the proprietor of a
Saloon, and who directed the bust
ness management of the Negro Saloon
in the name of Goodwin & Miller for
several weeks, presented the so call
ed dry list as chairman OF the Re-
publican Executive Committee. The
list submitted by Mr. Carter was with
drawn, and cannot be reproduced here.
But it is sufficient to say that in their
zeal to get what they called dry
men" Mr.. Cater had on his list the
name of one Ealph Williams for regis
trar for the Fourth Ward, who is sci
dom sober when he can get liquor, and
who hasn't an over savory reputation
otherwise. Messrs. Smith and French
voted for w. G. Ferrll, we'll known
business man in his stead.
Mr.. French voted with Col. Smith
for a list which contained several
Democrats, whilst the list submitted
by Mr.. Carter and others contained
all Republicans. After Mr.. French
had voted with Mr.. Smith, Mr. Free
man then said that he was then will
ing to select all dry Democrats"
Mr.. French said the list had already
been voted on. Mr.. Freeman then
said in effect that he wanted every
thing dry, and considering his recent
conversion To the dry side appeared
over jealous in his effort to appear
very dry.
Mr.. Freeman indicated his intention
of voting wet until within four or five
days of the meeting of the court for
that purpose and apparently under
the influence of the Big Stick" wiIted
from the stand he had maintained for
the past -four years.
1t was clear that the spectacular eff
fort to appear ultra dry on the part
of Mr.. Freeman was overdone, and a
Republican remarked that they would
use Mr. Freeman's proposition to Sc
lect dry Democrats" after the regis
trars har already been selected as

Bleeding the Indians.

In twenty Years the lawyers have
got very nearly 100000 out of the
Indians, all, or nearly all of it, for
collecting claims against the govern
ment, which is supposed to do juwice
without being bounded TO it by litiga-
ton and lawyers and claim agents, and
which bears to the Indians the rela.
ton of guardian to ward In all the
long and discreditable record of the
white mans dealing with aborigines
there are few more unpleasant facts
than this record of the sums the claim
agents have been permitted to get
out OF the Indians in twenty years.
One payment by the Chickasaws of
s789,000 was considerably more than
% per cent OF the amount obtained.
Really, McMurray was incredibly mod.
est in asking only 10 per cent for sales
that were estimated to amount TO
