A ROUGH EXPERIENCE

Miss Florrie Condor. who left jack
sonville yecently for New York on the
Clyde Line steamer Iroquois, had al
most as rough an experience as Mr..
r. A. Burford and his son. Miss Con-
don was SO violently i'll after the
storm struck the vessel that she was
entirely helpless in her berth. The
sea was so rough that the captain was
apprehensive for the safety Of his pas
sengers and ordered life preservers
distributed. Miss Condor was unable
to even dress herself and the maids
had to dress her and strap on the cork
jacket. When she reached New York
she was i'll from nervous prostra
| ton that she had to be helped off the
/ ship and wanted to come straight
| home by rail and abandon her trip.

Mr.. VIM. McCaulla,
r. F. d. 1, Grenada, Miss.
My Dear Sir: Your recent let
ter under date of the Oath ultimo
was received during my absence.
Upon my return | take pleasure
in replying.
| am not at all anxious tip es-
tablish any publicity to the fnan-
cial controversy between Gov.
Vardaman and myself of this par
ticular period, and am somewhat
surprised that you should have
any knowledge of our affairs, but
but l can only answer your letter
in the affirmative, and say that
Gov. Vardaman does owe me
something over 5000, same being
my money which he collected and
has not RENTED.
The plan of collection in refer
ence to Gov. Vardaman'S fee
while he was lecturing under my
management was that he collect
ed entire amonnt, retaining his
personal percentage, and remit
ting to me the amount as per
agreement and contract what was
due the bureau.
Very truly yours,
r. A. CARSON.

Judging by the effect of, re-
cent rains upon the Gotten mar
ket, it would be supposed that
this was a decisive feature of a
bumper crop, and not a mere
favoring influence. Or that they
rescued the cotton fields from
impending ruin. Neither idea is
warranted there is many a
bridge yet to cross before even
an average crop is assured, and
with the rule that all droughts
are broken before cotton is lost,
no cotton growers apprehend any
great loss from this one. The
worst of it is that the drought
has been broken too late for re-
planting where the cotton was
not u~p.-Vicksburg Herald.
