A SHATTERED INTELLECT. "Help! helpl help!" I started to my fee: in a tremor ol fright aa thia cry rang th rc. ugh my room, ana gazed at toe partition walt which divided roy apartmeut from the room next to it, io helpless terror. Then 1 bethought me of the bali, and rushing out there I knocked on the door next tc mine. Silenco, followed by a low demoniacal laugh I "What ia the matter?" I called. "Open the door if you need help." A voice, evidently that of an aged wouan, called out : "Go away 1" Then I could bear ber laugh and mut ter to herself, and I went hack to my room, On the way I met the boy who was janitor of the building. "Who bas No. 27 V "Some crazy woman," he answered in disrespectful haste, and was gone before I could ask another question. A mad woman in the next room 1 Surely fato was unkind to me. I had come here to improve my own mind, and found myself tete a-tote with idiocy. I could move out, but I bad only just movdd in, and ducats were as scarce as hen's teeth. I was preparing myself for dramatic readings, and spent the most of my time in the drill work of my profes sion, with intervals devotod to the ren dering of classical music, con amore. I comlorted myself with the belief that however hard my poor demented neigh bor shrieked and raved in her insane ebulilions, I could drown her out with an opposition bedlam, and I decided to stay where I was and attend to my own affairs. If I bad only done so ! "Mind your own business" is a homely formula, but it ia a little classic of aensi ble, pertinent advice, which we would do well to engrave on the ritual of our daily livea in letters of gold. So much for parenthesis. I studied aloud. I raved aud ranted to develop my voice. I paced my chamber in along white gown and holding a tal low candle in my right hand, while I strodo up and down, repeated in sepul clirriaI toneB : O-w-it dam-n-ed spot, owit I Bay-one two: why then 'tis time to "Save me! save mo! help! help! for God's sake, help!" I dropped my candle, jumped into bed, and drew the bed-clothes over my head. There I lay and shivered until morning. Then i saw a pale, still woman with a resolute face, coming out nf number 27. "How ia your patient?" I asked hur riedly as elie passed me on the landing. The woman Btared ac me a moment as if abe did not quite understand. "The-the insauo woman," I ex plained. "Oh, yes, much better, but I cannot stop to talk," and ?be hastened away while I wondered whether sho was a nurse to the mysterious woman shut up there, or a relative, possibly a daughter. I decided on the latter when I over heard the fond language she used toward tho poor demented creature. Never a harsh or reproachful word, but tbe ten der endearments of aa affection that was self-sacrificing aa only the strongest filial love caa bo. Aud so proud and careful of tbe unconscious sufferer that no eye was allowed to rest upon ber in that wretched state. I honored and respected such devotion and soon ia cay own way I longed to assist the sad and silent woman, who abrunk from the advances of strangers, in her labor of love. I began by leaving tiny batches of flowers at tbe door. Then small offerings of fruit, and I had a cal f I h reward io the silence sod peace that followed each occaaiou. I could bear the patient aoftly laughing or talking to herself, and I even imagined abe bad learned to expect tho tributes of my Bympatby. Wno knew? It might eveu act as a new miiyl c-uro, this outside diversion from an unknown sou reo. Several times litad tried to Ulk rrith the daughter-aa Iliad decided her to ba -but her manner wai ao reserved, and so atrauje, that I began to think that ehe, too, waa non compos montis; that tbey wore, in fact, a maa family. But I had learned that abe filled a"responalblo posi tion during the day^and that her whole life waa given up to the cheerless society of the wretch rabsa lb? p?olocis? with Buch devotion that I had naver yet caught a glimpse of her. ;-.}, wit that to ?-eip such a sorrow waa a privilege, era? I do sired no thanks or arJtnowleagmr i?V And yet-I will confess it now--it waa sometimes hard to bear. The ir vings ol insanity itfti never pleasant to listen to', but there tfatiQmuliar weirdness in'tho inufiled cries that rang through tbe dead ening wall. n . But there came a climax, os there does to most of the tragedies of life, and: it did not como a moment to>? won, for I had fallen into a nervous condition that, if I had ; been a fine lady, would base caused my friends and myself great ap prehension. But lam nota fine lady, and the few friends I have lived faraway and did not trouble tbemaelvea about mo. And I had become absorbed,' fascinated, haunted by the nameless terrof on the other elds of my partition. ? I, too, was begicsieg lc laugh- 'hysterically ; io scream 'Help" and "murder" in my sleep ; tc mutter, sud j?bbc. locouoreat worus. My face had grown white and wild-look; lng. I fancied that every neat, door neighbor avoided.me, as if afraid of. rao -hal hal the idea ls too fanny I << >'...? One evening, just at dusk, I went homo from a rehearsal for a performance iu which I waa to appear1, and all absorbed in my part, toiled wearily np to my room In the fourth story andr wal ked ip with out Unlocking the door, co unconscious waa lofmyeurrouc/?ags. But tbs room was lighted and a woman sat there sew ing; the furniture wa* Btraage-nothing was mino. I had mado a wistnko and walked Into No. 27.Vibe Woman who eat there alone rose as if ashamed and stepped back. "I beg your pardon," I said aa I recov ered myself "but.it seems I have mads a mistake. I was thinking ao busily I did n?"WoS^yoti?sit dowtf? ^Take thiaki "I'll kill you I Hein I Help t'< shrieked a discordant voice-tue voice that haunt ed me. .. . . i ;.? ' i I started lu suddea fright; every nook and corner was visible to the eye; tLe " Who ii it? What ia i?t" I gasped; turning pale and sick. "Jry parrot," said the wo nan, calmly, pointing to a gray Africas parrot sitting sleepily in a cage in the corner. "I dare say she often amuses .you with lier noise. Sha..is a very tragic bird. I nm very choice of her, but some day you may bor row her, if you like her for company." The next timo I met tbe janitor I asked him how ho dared to tell me there was a craiy Woman in that room. * "Ale vitamins ees crazy/' he said, with a cynical smile.

Let ns Hare a Kew County, Tbe formation of a new County to be composed of portions of Anderson, Abbe ville, Laurena and Greenville, witb Uooca Path as its County Beat, is being now actively discussed by most of our atizeos. Tho whole country is practi cally a unit in favor of the scheme The idea is no new one, having been agitated for many years, but the movement never took any definite shape. We know at the outset that wo will encounter much opposition in our support of the move ment, but we have resolved not to allow that to deter us from presenting its claim in as forcible a manner as wo know how. There are many reasons why tho leg islature should be petitioned to form such a County. The portions of the four Counties, from which it in proposed to form tho County, lie so far from their County seats as to make it very inconve nient for the citizens living in these parts to go to them to transact their necessary business. In olden times when people had but little legal bushier to transact, there was not much necessity for Coun ties to be small. Hut of lute year?, there is getting co ho any quantity of such business, thereby causing our citizens to lose a great deal of unnecessary time frequently working great injury to their private interests-in going back aud forth such long distances to their respective County seats. Those opposed to the movement will u?e as an argument against it the cost of building a Court House and other necessary County build ings. The difference in mileage paid to jurors and witnesses would in a few years pay the erection ot such buildings. Even tho difference in the time lost by the farmers, when thei interests imper atively demand their presence ut homo as much as possible, alone would pay for such an expenditure. Wc uro of tho opinion that too many small counties are useless and not entirely beneficial. No one would oppose tho indiscriminate formation of new Counties any more than v.o. We believe that the establish ment of a County seat at every cross road would be foolish, expensive and inexpe dient. Georgia to-day is suffering from the evil of having entirely too many small Counties. South Carolina oo tho other hand contends with the difficulty of having entirely too many excessively largo Counties. North Carolina exhibits n happy mean in the size of her Counties. The only right way, wo contend, to deter mine whether a County ?hould bo formed or not is to discus? it thoroughly, nod critically to consider all the claims uvgvd in its favor in a spirit of fairness and can dor. Wo think that Uonea Path can establish net ciaims for a new County, if her advantages ore thoroughly teated, and given their due weight. Honea Path has the following advantages : Her situation on thc line of railroad; her nearuess to the corner of four (Counties, and tho value of her position as a general distributing point. All expressions of opinion on the sub ject from our patrons and friends on tho subject will bc thankfully accepted, und given duo consideration. Let us hear also fron our contemporaries on tho sub ject.-Honea Path Herald. Farming on Credit? Farming on a credit is a subject of overshadowing importance to our far mers. The time-honored system of getting advances from factors and store keepers, at time prices, to the farmers, has kept our farmers poor, an they have been compelled to devote their encrgien mainly to cotton, and often at the ex pease of provisions. Necessity admits of no argument. At first most farmers had to borrow, to get a start ; and then their exclusive cotton planting baa kept them straightened, and rather increased than relieved their necessities. As a simple matter of business, no person, bo be tradesman or farmer, eau pay a nigh rate of interest aa his fundamental ex? EenseSj and make his undertaking pay. lia failure will sure'y be only a question of timo. Farmers must economise, raise their own provisions, aud pay more attention to the rearing of good stock. Until they do those essential things, farming will not pay. There are several firms in the South who make it their butin?es to lend money , only to farmers upon the security or first mortgages on their farms. The farmers borrow the money for tho period of five years, pay down a year's ihtereatof 8 per cont., and the commission.of 2 per cont, per annum . for tbjt' ?v?v:y?aig. ssr?l {Al con'**, &c. j Those alt?geiner aggregate a, rate of . about IS per c??t.vsar-ani?ii?i . a better ' one than tho 40 or 60 per cent.' extorted by otoro-kecporu in tho filippo of timo prices. It ia true that the money thus borrow ed does buy supplies and phosphate at cash price:!, making ? great saving at the buying end ; -but right ho-io comes hi the trouble. . Farmers are Induced to borrow more money than they need cud - 'umn will find tbat they cannot pay the yearly -installments as they become due, but that the in&treat ia about all v?i-y many of them can pay. And I when the five years- haye expired, they: will have td borrow ago!n, or be sold out under fore? closure of their mortgages, Some/yearn ago the Northwestern Life^ Insurance Company lent a large amount of money, upon this plan, in the South : and'tho majority of these loans have since been collected .bail foreclosure and cale of the tarma. It baa been thc-exceptio?- where Oseas mcT?gages' have beetfr????s^d. Judging from tho past experience of horror/era in thb way, thone of our fa ri men wboibave taken thia temporary assistance, have aa ugly outlook before the?i. Debt fa a remorseless tyrant, and we doubt ? tub' benefit of capital that encumbers OoVprivate farms and induces farmers to mortgage their homes. In our judgment, the only relief to our farmers from their money troubles ia through economy, coif denial, and the.raising of homceuppHee.--'----' ???
