The Story of an Intelligent Russian Jew Exile. News and Courier. There is today in Charleston a Rus sian Jew, a well educated man, who left his home in Gemoter, in the Wo- line district, Russia, about ten mouths ago. Fortunately for him he left the scene of cruelty and persecution be fore it was at its height, yet while he was there he saw enough to make him seek a new and more liberal home. The exile begged the Reporter not to use his name, “for,” said he, “should the Russian authorities un fortunately get hold of anything I might say about them, no matter how just it would be, there is no telling what will become of my family, do not believe they would allow one of them to remain in their homes. •T thank God that I left Russia as soon as I did. Things were getting very bad when I started. The cruel ties and outrages had about com menced, and even what little I had to see was heart-sickening. No one who has not seen them can imagine to what extremes these barbarities are carried. The officers even go so far as to kill any of the Jews who show any resistance. In Kley, while I was there, several of my people were killed without any provocation “TBe restrictions as to the residence of the Jews began by an order that none of them should be allowed to live within fifty miles of the frontier This, they said, was done so as to pre vent them from smugglingjgoods in and out of the country. If they lived near the frontier they claimed they would encourage this traffic and dodge paying the duties. “Then the Jews in the villages were attacked. First they were prohibited from running restaurants or shops, and now they are not even allowed to live in the villages. “The treatment of those who have to leave the villages is simply inhu man. Three days’ notice is considered ample for anyone to arrange every thing and get out of town. What is done when the exiled refuse to move? They are simply taken out by main force. Why, I can never forget the case of a friend of mine. He had lived for thirty-three years in a little village. He had a comfortable home ed by his children Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report. Baking Powder ABSOiiillBLY PURE THE COMING WINTER'S TRAVEL. It Will Re Heavier Than It Has Ever Been Before. R. W. Powers who has just return ed from the North says Savannah will have a larger number of tourists this winter than any season hereto fore. Mr. Powers made a tour of the Northeru pleasure resorts and large cities and met a great many of the winter travelers. He bays the gen eral impression is that the travel South this season will be much great er than last season. There are several good reasons for this belief. One is that a severe win ter is expected North. Another is that a greater tide of Western travel is calculated upon, especially the travel that has been going to Califor nia. “People who have been going to California to spend the winter,” said Mr. Powers, will give it up and will come South this winter. California is too far off. They have to ride a week going to and coming from California, while they can reach Florida in thir ty hours. I find a great many people are coming South that never come be fore, and they are coming a great deal earlier than usual. I have a number •booked for early in next month, and other parties booked to arrive at inter vals through November and Decem ber. These are people that will spend two or thr^e weeks or a month, and some of them perhaps the whole season.”—Savannah Neivs. THE COhTON CROP. Prevention Rattier Than Cure.

Nothing could bt done.” In answer to the question what ex cuse could be giver, for the persecu tions he said: “The Russians all really like the Jewr. They are friendly and could live togetner. The Czar alone is to blame. Re is a perfect fanatic and is perfectly erazy in his desire to crush the Jews. Besides being a fa natic he is a drunkard. He is so dif ferent from his father, who, when he was in the Odessa, on the occasion of the first demonstration against the Jews, said: *1 never expected to see tny people act in this way, and I will never again be seen in Odessa.’ He kept his word. But whatever the present Czar says is holy, and his governors all think that by punishing and torturing the Jews they ingra tiate themselves with the Czar. What help is there, you ask. None that I can see. The Czar is absolute in his power. He has his army under strict discipline, and any effort at re sistance is promptly crushed out. But the Socialists are working hard, and one of these days there will be a mighty revolution in Russia. Then money is becoming scarce, and Rus sia’s credit is weak. Today the Rus sian rouble is worth 54 cents and it has been worth 69 cents. “See how cruel and unjust are our persecutors. We are made to serve in the army for five years without pay, kicked and knocked about, and for our devotion and work for the Government we are thrown from pil lar to post and are absolutely without protection. “The cruelties of today are unpar alleled in the history of Russia. When I was coming to America there were a number of others in the railway coach with me. We were riding qui etly along. An officer came in; he demanded a seat from one of the par ty. The traveller protested and said he had paid for his seat. ‘What is that you are saying; you dare an swer me,’ said the officer, and with that slapped his face and made him leave the seat. There was no use to resist. If he had he would have been taken from the train and sent to prison.” The gentleman who told this story would, if he were able to speak Eng lish, be qualified to deliver a most in teresting lecture concerning “Darkest Russia.” He is at present domiciled in Charleston and is connected with one of the synagogues here in an of ficial capacity.

Ohe of the immediate results of Dr. Koch’s labors, whether the lymph be a success or not, is well stated by Dr. Tyndall, in the Fortnightly Review for September, in a resume of the la bors of Dr. Qeorge Cornet, of the Im- jf-lter' fri, r-Ii October Report of the Department of Agriculture. Washington, Oct. 10.—The Octo ber cotton report of the department of agriculture makes the general av erage condition of cotton 75.7 against 82.7 a month ago. Last year in Oc tober it was 80. Besides this unfavor able difference in condition, the crop is late this year and the chances against a repetition of last year’s ex traordinary length of season of growth. The average condition by States is as follows: Virginia 72, Nortli Carolina 70, South Carolina 72, Georgia 78, Florida 74, Alabama 76, Mississippi 74, Lquisiana 79, Texas 78, Arkansas 76, Tennessee 70. The Atlantic coast breadth has suf fered more from adverse condition than the gulf coast area. The excess of jnoisture in August and early in September, with drought and high temperature later, tested the vitality of the plants of the coast region se verely, causing a shedding of leaves and bolls, premature opening and light yield. West of the Mississippi there was a variable record of mois ture. One County in Texas, for in stance, reports a continued drought for ninety days, while another notes the prevalence of destructive rains. This section reports a smaller loss of fruitage by sudden changes of temper ature and rainfall than the more East ern States. There areinsect losses somewhat general, though not univer sal or very heavy; through most of the cotton belt from caterpillars, boll worms and army worms, especially in the bottom lands. The Annual Income of the Railways. ro ie diffusion bf tuberculosis. With enormous painstaking, Cornet has ex amined “the dust of the sick room” in seven hospitals, three lunatic asy lums. fifty three private houses, and various other localities, collecting it from places least exposed to the direct expectorations of the patients. He rubbed it off from high-hung pictures, clock-cases, the bo ards and rails at the back of the bed and from the walls behind it. With this precipitate he infected guinea-pigs, with the re sult of producing marked tuberculosis The nmual report of the State rail- mission to the State* Legis- is to wake a handsome showing fpr the roads wits year. Nearly all the railroadlsUkve sent in their annual re port, and uY&j^are being rapidly com piled.

Confidence is begotten by honesty De Wilt’s Little Early Risers are pills that will cure constipation and sick headache. Sold by W. J. Platt. in others. Patient enquiry into the cause of such variation led to the con clusion that in all cases were proper cleanliness was observed, and the ex pectorations were received in close spittoons the bacilli were not found in the dust. The contagion is not transmissible by the breath of the pa tient. The bacilli are not only living bodies, but heavy bodies which sink in water or pus, and much more rap idly in calm air. “We must regard it as firmly established that in no case can the bacteria contained in a liquid, or strewn on a wet surface, escape by evaporation, or be carried away by currents of air. It is the dried phlegm or sputum expectorated on floors or nto handkerchiefs, and so trodden or rubbed into dust, which becomes the vehicle of the contagion. The danger is greatest when the dry floor is dis turbed by brush or broom. The dust so raised may carry the virulent mat ter to every corner and ledge where it becomes the cause of infection by be ing set afloat again by currents of air, or the housemaid’s duster. v In this dry state it retains its poisonous prop erties for mouths, or even years. Cornet ridicules the theory of heredi ty in consumption with such proof of its propagation by simple mechanical processes. “On a promenade, amidst an hundred phthisical patients, who are carefully to expectorate into spit toons, the visitor is far safer than among a hundred men taken at ran dom, and embracing only the usual proportion of phthisical persons w’ho spit on the ground. When w’e ob serve the enormous increase of phth isis among the natives of Mentone, and find this ascribed to the abandon ment of land-labor, instead of to in tercommunication with tlie consump tive patients who spend their winter at that health resort, it would seem as if some persons shut their eyes wil fully against the truth.” The greatest danger to which the phthisical pa tient is exposed is himself. If he is careless in the disposal of his phlegm, j year total income from all sources foots up $556,568.15, over half a million of dol lars. When the other roads send in their figures the amount will swell proportionately. The figures, being the total income from all sources, as follows, for three of the roads in Aiken County: Carolina Midland,$61,109.68. South Carolina Raihvay,$l,726,369.- 26; last year, $1,425,261.69; increase, $301,097.34. Wilmington, Columbia and Augus ta, $1,012,707.33; last year, $977,654.78; increase, $35,052.55. A History ot South Carolina. A small volumes tliat deserves more than a passing notice is one just pub lished by’ Ginn & Co., of Boston, con taining Fifty Lessons in the history of South Carolina, by Mr. John Lang- don Weber, school commissioner of Charleston County. There is so much of the wretched “New South” idea afloat now that respect for the past generation of prominent Southern ers, who made our history illustrious is discouraged, and their examples contemptuously ignored. The desire to get money has done much to de stroy sentiment in Soutli Carolina, and unless a stand is firmly made against the time serving spirit of the day truth will not survive. On thi account we are glad to see a historl of our state written by one of our owj people, who for fear or favor has no! disguised or suppressed the truth. This volume is particularly well/ adapted for use In schools, and con-i tains nothing that any one would ob/- ject to who desires the truth; an/l parents are not supposed to send their children to school to have I he An taught falsehood.
