The South and Horse Sense.

The Morning Star, of Wilmington,
y. c., referring to some statements
made in New York papers about the
handling of cotton. says: $50 far as
the South generally is concerned,
there Is calm here over the prospects
Of moving cotton this fall. whatever
the difficulties may be. Yet one who
reads some of the New York papers
would think that the South is about
TO lose it's head and attempt to force
the administration to do something
desperate. There is too much horse
sense in the South to think that the
cotton growing and exporting inter-
ests possibly would conceive that by
adding to the worlds conflict it would
help the cotton interests a little bit
The thinking men of the South
would only laugh at the absurd idea
that the cotton interests could help
their cause by compelling, under p =
litical pressure, any course Of retail
alton in behalf Of cotton in the South,
wheat and meat in the West, or any
thing in the North. The South is full
ly aware that this situation is one
for diplomacy and not a matter for
retaliation, a more or less puerile
idea involving complications that
would be more ruinous to the cotton
cause than even present conditions
and prospects possibly can be. The
South may lose something on it's cot
ton but it will not lose it's sense" The
Star, with it's usual good horse sense,
Is correct, but, unfortunately, there
are in the South a great many pOliti-
clans and some newspapers and some
business men that are doing ,Nactly
what The Star says the horse sense of
the South will prevent this section
from doing. We have too much fool
talk loose in the South, and such good
horse sense as the Wilmington Star
puts forth is not in evidence every
where. If some politicians and some
newspaper should be taken as the
voice of the South, it would indeed be
sad for this section, for they thor
oughly misreprescnt it's best interests
and would lead it to destruction
Would that every paper in the South
could view the matter as Sanely rs
The star does i'm the editorial from
which we have quoted d-Manufactur
ers' Record.

Stabbed Mule.

One day last week negro boy
working on Mr.. H. w. Adams place
near town came hurriedly to the
house and informed the young ladies
that a big negro had attacked him
and cut Mr.. Adams mule, which the
10y was plowing at the time. The
ladies' telephoned to town. and
Nessrs. w. NJ. McCue and II. G. Dcllt
Vent out 70 the farm in Mr.. Delk S
luto; When they investigated the
matter, Il pointed 10 the fact that the
BOY had cut the mule himself. Pre-
'umably he became angry with the
lnimal and wreaked his vengeance by
'tabbing it with a knife, and told the
story to escape punishment himself
rhe gentlemen caught the boy, and
put him on the back Of the automo-
ollie and started back, but the boy
'umped off and has not been seen
