All of the Fall River, Mass. cotton mills are to cut wages ten per cent within a week.

South Carolina and Georgia have a smallpox scare, and vaccination is being resorted to in the large towns and cities. Senator McLaurin is ill in Wash ington with typhoid fever.

Char leston is promised another block ade. ' Senator McLaurin of South is Carolina confined to his bed with an attaak of typhoid fever. It is not violent. Consul General Lee, has advised the State Department, that the Cuban insurgents eleoted and installed, at Yaza, Port Prinicipe, Cuba, a President, Bartola Maso, and six cabinet officers. The town of Dournstetten Germany, ought to bs a good one to move to. There they manage sowell that the people not only pay no taxes, but receive a bonus of $25 annually. South Carolina's industrial pro g.'ess during this year has been phenomenal. Nine new cotton mills have been established and charters for 112 enterprises more or less importance have been issued by the legislature. New Madrid County, is the home of probably the youngest successful farmer in Missouri-Amos Riley a nine-year-old boy residing there having planted in cotton three acres of ground which his grandfather had given him, and raised there from this season 1,521 -pu un us. The Townes case will be argued in the Supreme C on rt of this State on Friday of this week. The Au gusta Chronicle says of this case This is one of the most important cases the city has ever had ss it in volves the title to the land upon which the dam is lodged in South Carolina at the Locks.

RODDY'S PLAN. What the New York Newspapers Say About lt. Hero is what the New York World says ; "Members of the Cotton Ex change here and in other cities are somewhat excited over the proposition to form a gigantic tiust of all the cotton raisers jof the South which is being advocated by John T. Roddy, a prominent broker of this city. The exchanges are opposed to the scheme. If such a trust is formed the brokers say their business wiri be ruined, so far as exercising any control of the market is concerned The trust will be able to practically dictate the prie* of cotton in the open market." The Mercantile and Financial Times, New York, says this : "It has long been a notorious fact, that the original producers of cotton in this country get a far smaller share than anybody else of the profits which it yields before ' it reaches the mill. Speculators, brokers, spinners and capitalists manage to secure a bulk of the rich returns which the magnificent cotton fields of the South render possible. - The trouble is that the cotton grower as a rule has not capital enough co enable him to handle his product as he would like to. To a large extent he has gone in debt for it before it was raised; and when.it is picked he has no chance, in the majority of cases, but to sell it for what ever he can get. The cotton producers of the South ought to be rich men by rights. That they are not is only too well known. "Mr. John T. Roddey, a native of South Carolina, now doing bus iness in New York as a member of the cotton brokerage firm of John T. Roddey & Co., has suggested a plan whereby the cotton growers shall form a gigantic combination or company." As may be supposed. Mr. Rdd dey's suggestion has caused a tre mendous sensation. The specula tors in New York and elsewhere are alarmed beyond measure and the Southern planters aro delighted. There is no doubt but the thing can be done if those concerned will but "put their shoulders to the wheel." If five cent cotton will not stim ulate the planters to make au effort to help themselves, we do not know what will. It is quite certain, also, that unless they do something, and that right speedily, t ley will get deeper in the mud than they are now in the mire. From the New York Tribuna, Nov. 13. "The bear element in speculative exchanges is one of the 'most vi the country have had to contend against. The depressing influence the bears of speculation have fer the past year upon legitimate trading has been one of the unfortunate features of the hard times and recuperation under their savage attacks has been slow. Natural conditions may, of necessity, compel prices to drop, but then the bears force them still lower, never taking any thought of who is to be the lc ser. The bear element in speculation has caused more distress, bankruptcy and ruin than any adverse condition of the times. It ia an element that stops at nothing to make profits for itself, and revels in its success. "Unfortunately for tho people of the South their staple product, cotton, bas for the last year been the foot ball of the operators of decline in the trading on the cotton exchanges here and abroad. There has been no let up in the steady warfare they have carried on against it, and every possible trick and device has been used to hammer down the price."
