Texas crop 'reports from 425 points show that not for twenty-five years have the conditions beeil so uniformly bad for cotton or so good for corn. Amelia Barr, the novelist, claims that the men are to blame for women's ex travaganc in dress. If this be so, it is one ofthost? cases in which a man has to pay dearly for his fault. A New York man was sent to jail on a disorderly charge preferred by his wife, which, he said, grew out of his refcuial to do the wishing and ironing.

It prohibits a man from asking , another to take something at the bar, and also provides a penalty for the bar tender that sets a drink before a customer when the drink is paid for by another person. ?Here is a fact for thoughtless boys to pond8r upon: Several boys who were candidates for a naval cadetship fr?n the Eighth Michigan District were rejected because the examining physician found that their hearts had bees .affected by smoking cigarettes. ?The cotton louse is reported as doing considerable damage to the stalk and leaves in some parts of the country. The appeamnce of this pest is complained of more generally in Louisiana and Texas than in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and other portions of the cotton belt. ' Under a new ordinance in Griffin, Ga., a bar room in that town may nofc connect ?with another room, and mudi have but one doorway for entrance and exit. ;Even if the proprietor of the bar lives in the: biding in which it Is situated, he must have a separate entrance to his house, and from the bar must go out into ?the-street, In order to get Into his home.

Never before were there so many college-bred men and women in the world as to-day. And* they-are going to be the rulers of the ?world in spite of the humorous para? grapher and funny man. They won't take the reins of government and put their feet against the dash-board next week, perhaps not next month, but.their influence wiU be for good. The New. York World, after carefully looking into the matter, makes the state? ment that over 250,000 workmen in the ' United. States have had their wages in? creased within the last ninety days. The advance averages 12 per cent., and in njBfff^every^case: it was voluntary on fttjpart of employers. These signs of re Wtrning prosperity are indeed a source of-| confusion and grief to the calamity howl? er* of the Eepublican party, but it is un? likely that-the wage-earners will share thefr^shagrin. Some months ago the navy department issued the first volume of a series of | records of the Union and Con? federate navies. In a few weeks the second will be issued, and as fast an the records are compiled the whole set will be issued up to twenty-four volumes or k.more. Pictures of all the important ves? sels taking part on both Bides will be Btustratod in the volumes. The famous ships," such as the Alabama, Kearsage, Sumter and others, with the pictures of many of the blockade escapes and the fight in Hampton roads. ? m m m - The last commercial reports of Dunn and Bradstreet show that, the tide of re? turning prosperity has begun indeed to rise. Wages are being increased, prices are stiffening all round and every tiling points to an indefinite period of business ] revival. It has been shown that the '?South has. stood the strain of financial depression better than any other section of the country. Industrial enterprises of various kinds have continued to go up all along, and the South to-day is In a better position to reap the full benefits of a general business revival than any other section._ The bicycle is sharing honors with the "new woman'y n commanding attention from the press; and now that the heat warms the pulpit to indulge lighter pabu? lum, the ministers have taken it up. The New York Sun reports three sermons delivered' on a recent Sunday on the subject.. The Rev. Dr. Scudder argued, from his pulpit that wheel women should sit npon the bicycle man fashion, and should wear "voluminous knickerbock? ers" when riding. The Bev. Bow-land Dawaon (Presbyterian) maintained that bicycling is a new source of pleasure and knowledge for women, and that "as noon as woman frees herself from the slavery of the skirt, she will take a mighty leap toward equality with man." The Bev. Dr. Harrison (Baptist) took occasion in his sermon to praise wheeling as the "cleanest and sweetest of human sports," and he gave it as his opinion, that "when a man gets on his wheel in the country, he is as near to heaven as he can got on oarth> ' ? It is now a settled fact that the Conser? vative Democrats of Anderson County will not go into the primary election for delegates to the Constitutional Conven? tion. This; we think, Is wise and proper, for in the end they will be better off. If they have made a mistake no one will be to blame but themselves, and we believe they will be able to bear the blame, if it is necessary. They are tired of ring rule and one-man power, which has brought no good to the people, and there is only one way to get rid of such and cease bear - jng. any c' the responsibility for it, and that is by staying out of any of Irby's primary elections in future. The Con? servatives went into Irby's trap last year in good faith, and everybody knows the result They were looked upon as intru? ders by the Reformers, who went off to themselves into another primary and tried to force their nominee down our throats. It was an overdose for the Con? servatives, and we believe they now have enough "Backbone" of the Tom. Dlxon conception', to enable them to resist any -more such doses. ? A unique exhibit at ".bo Cotton States and International Exposition at Atlanta, Ga., will be a model jail. It will show all the latest improvements In prison jvoonstruotlon, and will present for inspec tion a jail complete in sanitary equip? ment and absolutely safe. A prisoner incarcerated within its iron cages will be absolutely protected from without, and will find it impossible to escape, even if allowed to work for liberty with the most improved jail-breaking tools. We sug? gest that our Board of Commissioners send a special committee to Atlanta to seo this jail. Anderson County needs just such a jail. . Wiunaboro News and Herald: "Sena? tor Till man can't be any more than the same Tillman who began to stir op strife as far back as 1880-1890. We had never expected him to rise to a very high plane, but when he first began to talk about the Tillman-Bamwell-Hemphill, etc., con? ference, and dilated in such patriotic and statesmanlike veins, we begun then to think that perhaps after all we had un? derestimated and to some extent in is-, judged the man, but after his speech in his native County the other day we are compelled to believe that peace and unity in South Carolina can never come from B. R. Tillman. The truth is that the people themselves must make peace, if there Is to be any. We believe they want an end to strife and bitterness, which is doing so much harm, and it is time they were letting the politicians know that the people are stronger than they. When this is done, then you will find Tillman. and all other politicians on the side of the people. When will the people show their power? When will they rise in their might and show the politicians that they are independent sovereigns, free and absolutely indepen? dent of politicians, free to do their own thinking, free to vote as they please, free to vote for whom and for what they please ? They can do it, and some day they will. This state of things will be? come unbearable, and the sooner it does the better, for then the people will take charge and run it to suit themselves." Carried to Greenville Jail. Charleston, S. C, July 4.?The com {ilication growing out of the dispensary aware multiplying. To-day Judge Buch? anan, of the State Court, sentenced F. J. Bowen, of Charleston, to the penitentiary on the charge of contempt of Court and without a jury trial. Bowen had been arrested for violating- the dispensary law, and had been served with an injunction prohibiting him from selling liquor, until his case had been tried. Affidavits wore BP.bmitted to the Judge alleging that Bowen had sold liquor after the Injunc? tion had been served, and .without being heard the sentence was imposed. On the other hand Judge Simon ton, of the United Staies Circuit Court, has just Biguedan order directing the removal of all Federal Sri a one r s from thejail at Anderson. On une 20, R. M. Wright, a dispensary constable, was sentenced to jail for con? tempt of Court in disobeying its injunc? tion issued by the Federal Court forbid? ding the dispensary constables from seizing liquor imported by citizens of j this State lor private purposes. Wright was sent to the jail in Anderson County last week. Judge Slmonton received several letters from responsible parties in Anderson which eta .ted that the con? stable was only nominally in jail, for owing to the kindness of the jailor hd was frequently given the freedom of the ! town. In brief he was taking life easy, as the saying goes. Judge Slmonton requested United States Marshal John P. Hunter to inves? tigate the matter. He immediately dis? patched Marshal P. Moore to. look into the case, and after a careful investigation of several days he returned to the city and reported to the Judge that he had been correctly informed of the liberty which Wright was enjoying. Judge Simonton issued an order which will be served to-morrow removing Wright from Gain es' care to that of Gilreath, the keep? er of- the Greenville Coanty jail. It is also understood that for the Infraction of j the Court's orders all the United States ?prisoners in the Anderson jail will be taken to other jails.?Special to Gfeenville News. mir Lightning's Freaks. Jacksonville, June 26.?Lightning set fire to two houses in a.terrific thunder squall this evening and played strange freaks, taking a bracelet from a lady's arm an lighting an oil stove. The first house strnck was that oi G. M. Wright, where the freaks were performed. Nobody was injured nor was the house burned, though half the plastering was torn from the walls. J. L. Bragassa's was the second house struck. Here the window frame and curtains were burned, but nobody hurt. Burmingeam, June 23.?A speoial to the Age-Herald from Forkland, Ala., Bays during a thunderstorm there yes? terday, two negroe who had taken shelter under a tree were instantly killed by lightning. A special from Lincoln, Ala., says James A. Haokney, while Btanding in the doorway of his residence, was killed by lightning. His wife, standing close by, was badly shocked. Denizon, Tex., June 27.?Miss Fannie Moxie, living about five miles north of J South Maid, in this County, while sitting at an organ during a thunder storm yes? terday, was struck by lightning and fell to the floor, apparently lifeless. A Miss Guile was standing by her side with her hand on Miss Moxie's shoulder, but felt not the slightest shock. The bolt came through the celling, making a hole therein about the size of a 38-calibre pis? tol ball, struck Miss Moxie on the left aide of the face, ran down and aoroas the breast to the other side of. the body, burn? ing a path in both body and clothing until the current reached the stocking, ripped that open, tore the shoe from the foot, driving some of the nails out of the heel, thence through the treadle of the instrument under the house. There was no evidence of the current touching the roof or any part of the house, except the ceiling and the floor. Miss Moxie was carried out of doors into the rain and soon regained consciousness. Society Hill, S. C, July 1.?A sad catastrophe occurred in Chesterfield last Saturday afternoon near Sherrill's Mill Which is on the boundary line between Chesterfield and Darlington Counties, about eight. or nine miles from here. Two young men, Messrs. George Ed? wards, about thirty years of age, and Lon Davis, twenty years of age, were struck and instantly killed by lightning.while sitting under a Bhelter. The facts learned were as follows: The two had started to Chesterfield on some business, when they were overtaken by a thunder shower, and in order to be protected from the rain, resorted to a shelter on the place of j Mr. Joshua Edwards, who in company with his little daughter, were under the shed at the time of the fatal stroke and were knocked down and stunned by the lightning, but not seriously hurt. A post of the shed was struck and Messrs. Edwaids and Lon Davis, although farther away from the post than Mr. Edwards and his child, yet they were killed instantly. The post was only grazed and the shed was otherwise uninjured. Mr. George Edwards was a poor man residing in Chesterfield and left a wife and two chil? dren. Birmingham, Ala., July 5.?AtLit tlesviile, Winston County, Alabama, lightning played havoc and destroyed the whole family of Postmaster Edward Bryan, except a son. A special from that place says that lightning struck the house of Mr. Bryan and going into the interior killed him, his wife and the baby. A young son was also seriously shocked and may die. Go to Jail Rather Than Pay Fines. Chattanooga, Tenn., July 4.?The trial of a number of Seven Day Adven tistsin Graysville ended yesterday and resulted in the conviction of a number of them. They were charged with doing such work on Sunday as cutting brush? wood, building fences, and selling goods. They were all industrious, respectable citizens. Judge Park3 expressed regret at hav? ing to pass sentence upon those convict? ed, and only imposed small lines. The defendants said that if they paid the fines they would be putting the law of man before the law of God, so they would suffer for conscience sake. They emphat? ically refused to pay the fines and were removed to the jail, which adjoins the Court House. m ? *p-? ? A woman correspondent of the New York Sun Bays that she always engages her female servants by the make of the lower jaw. If the jaw ij projecting she takes them, because she has never failed to find women with this feature "capable, honest, neat and orderly, and of a retir? ing disposition." I Knoxville Has Faith in. Col. Booiie's Rail' road. Hello, you people of Jellico, "GocI'b country," Anderson and Port lloyal! We're up and at you. We are coming with a steam boss, if not an electrlo "scooter." Knoxyllle put herself on record yester? day for Col. Boone's scheme in" a way that leaves little doubt of her earnest? ness. She voted to transfer her stock in the Knoxville <fc Ohio road to Boone's promoting fund, and Boone's enemies say the stock is worth ?100,000, fnll face value. However, that may be, if they are worth anything the discovery is due to Booue, for Knoxville had been unable, for forty years, to learn that they were worth anything. Boone said he would take them, and the people voted that he shonld have them if he would do what he said he would do. It required a three-fourth's majority of the city vote, but the figures show that the people had decided to make a sure thing of the matter, and, accordingly, voted about 75 to 1 in favor of the propo? sition. The first ward laid a clean goose egg on the side of "ferninst," and only for each showed up in the third and eighth wards. "What do you think abont Boone's probable success," asked a reporter yes? terday of one of our wealthiest merchants and property holders ?" "You don't catch me giving myself away anymore," he replied. "How so?" "Well, when Arthur came to this town and worked up enthusiasm and attracted attention of outside people to Knoxville and his railroad schemes, a friend of mine in New York citv wrote to me to frankly tell him what 1 thonght of the matter. I wrote him to keep his staff in his pocket so far as Arthur and his rail? road schemes were ^concerned. I told him that Arthur wasn't worth a dollar and would never build a road as long as a telegraph pole. You know the results. True, he hadn't a dollar, but he built a railroad, built a belt line at Mlddlesboro that is utilized in getting out coal, etc., built Mlddles? boro and, in short, brought millions of dollars Into this section. Col. Boone may give us an object lesson of striking similarity, it looks to me as If he was going to, with this difference, that Ar? thur fell up against the great depression. You may be assured that I am not going to talk of Boone the way I did of Arthur." ?Knoxville tribune, July4. Belage of Destruction. St. Louis, July 7.?Thursday morn? ing last, telegraphic reports began to ar? rive in this city of rains at Western points. These reports grew in numbers Friday and covered a large territory, indicating that' the entire eastern water sheds of the Rocky Mountains of the Nebraska and Iowa lines to Texas was skewt by a storm. Friday night the severest blow came. Reports of loss of Ufe and destruction of property came with every telegram and the downpour, which was at first regarded as a blessing, grew into a wave of devastation. Fields of grain that promised the most bounti? ful yield in many years are to-day swept bare of vegetation. In several instances the seas of rains were abetted in their work of destruction by tornadoes. It is too early yet to sum hp the loss, but the total must be appalling, and those to whom the angry elements spared life have little left to sustain it. The stories of storm are so similar that a statistical summary is all there is left to tell. * The storm's focus embraced an urea of 200 square miles, with the southwestern corner of Missouri as the centre. The greatest loss of life is reported from Wluona, Mo., where eleven corpses have been found with as many more missing. i At Baxter Springs, in southwestern Kansas, five were kilted and eleven seri? ously injured by a cyclone that accom? panied the storm. One was drowned at Columbus and two at Ottawa, Kansas. ~m At Yanburen, Arkansas, a woman and her child were drowned. A family of five were camped on the banks of Fish Creek, in the Indian Ter? ritory. Yesterday nothing of them or their belongings was found, exoept a part'of their wagon on a pile of driftwood. At Thornasville, Mo., where the rain? fall was four inches in one hour, five lives were lost. Unconfirmed report? are re? ceived of loss of life as follows: Tttree at Fayettsville, Ark.; one at Paoll, Kons.; one at Richards, Kans., and six of a hunting party in the Indian Territory. This gives a known and probable loss of forty-three lives. This total will be increased when the receding water permits a thorough search. The Iosb in property can be placed in the millions. Dwellings, fences and farm buildings were carried off and wagon and railroad bridges swept away. Thirty of the eighty buildings iuWinona suc? cumbed. Five residences, a .church and a warehouse went down at Baxter Springs. Six bridges went out in Rus? sell County, Kansas. About Jefferson City, Mo., many square miles of growing grain were covered with debris. Traffic on the Fort Scott and Memphis railway is temporarily suspended. Reports of damage to property other than above noted come from five points in Kansas, nine in Missouri, six in Ar? kansas and two in the Indian Territory. The storm spent itself in Illinois, but having lost its force, proved a blessing to crops. > The above summaries give only a frac? tion of loss in property. The greatest burden falls upon the farmers as the season is too for spent to plant new orops and suffering must Burely follow in the storm's wake. Details of indi? vidual suffering and experiences recall the horrors of the Johnstown disaster. A Cyclone In Georgia. Atlanta, July 7.?Two persons were killed by a cyclone in Putman county, Ga., late this afternoon and. probably twenty were seriously injured. The list of fatalities may run up to ten. A spe? cial to the Constitution from Eatonton says that a conductor on the Middle Georgia 'and Atlantic Railroad reports that at Willard Station every thing in the storm's path was blown down. The con? ductor's train had a race with the cyclone, which barely missed it. Henry Adams, white, and Bob Hardy, colored, were killed. Henry Penick and his young wife were oaught in the debris of their house. Penick was injured internally and is probably fatally injured. Jim Collier, colored, escaped himself, but two of his children were pinned under the wreck of their house. The children were mangled and can hardly survive. The Mnrtin plantation was devastated. In Morgan county, a few miles from Madison, the Robertson plantation was swept dear of buildings and fences. The Robertson family hid in the cellar, and no one was hurt, although the house was moved from its foundation. F. B. Logan's farm was torn to pieces, and some of his tenants are reported injured. The track of the cyclone could not be followed far. because night came on. The details will not be obtained until daylight, when the list of fatalities, it is feared, will run up perhaps to ten. In Barkest Ireland. Dublin, July 5.?Michael Cleary, liv? ing near the town of Clonmel, was con? victed today of manslaughter in having burned his wife, Bridget Cleary, to death last March. The court deferred his sen? tence. Cleary believed his wife was be? witched and upon the advice of Dennis Ganey, the "family doctor," and in the presence of her father and a number of other relatives, held her over a fire and afterwards stripped her and poured para fine over the body and set fire to it. The woman was burned to death without the slightest effort on the part of the spectators to extinguish the flames which were con? suming her. Cleary claimed that it was not his wife, but a witch that was burned. Dublin, July 5.?Cleary was sentenced to twenty years imprisonment. His ac? complices were also convicted. Patrick Kennedy was condemned to five, and John Dunne to three years imprisonment; William and James Kennedy to eighteen months each, and Patrick Bolen and Michael Kennedy to six months each. Hannabal's Sacred Toes: Bamberg, S. C, July 0.?Bamberg holds this season's record in the crimual line, and a life is forfeited for no less of? fense than the accidental stepping on a toe in a crowded negro church festival. Last night at 11 o'clock, while two or three hundred negroes were crowded In a small school building in town, Adam Hannibal, a bright young mulatto, was pushing his way through the door, and Alex. Brabham incautiously tread on Hannibal's toe, which enraged him so much that to vent his wounded spirit he drew a shining Smith & Wesson revolver and sent two bullets through Brabham's heart killing him instantly. The pandemonium that followed amounted to a stampede. Hannibal held the only exit with a revolver, while the excited crowd poured from the windows, regardless of shutters, or sash. During the excitement Hannibal made good his escape. The coroner's verdict this after? noon was that Brabham was willfully and feloniously murdered,?Columbia Stale. * A New Melon In the Town. There is an entirely new brand of watermelon in the market, and the heart of the wholesale dealer is glad in conse? quence. The aggregate of loss from mel? ons broken in handling has amounted to a considerable sum every:season, and the dealers have been praying for the evolu? tion of a bullet-proof, iton-clad variety that can stand some handling withont falling to pieces. At last such a kind has been produced by a judiciooB blending of two well known varieties?the "nigger-head" and the "gem." The result has been remar? kable. A watermelon has been grown with a tough exterior. It can be thrown around like a cannon ball without much material injury. It is darker than the usual, and is more bulbous. It is Bweet to the palate, and fragrant to the smell. It is grown in Florida, but next season it will be raised in all the big melon pro? ducing States. One of this kind of melons was shown yesterday to a reporter for the New York Times by William M. Hines, of the firm of limes & Mansfield, Washington and Chambers streets. Mr. Hines has been handling watermelons for several decades and is a recognized authority on the question of melons. Mr. Hines trundled one along with his foot and then, as an evidence of its durability, proceeded to cut it in half with the aid of a big saw. The interior of the melon was as hard and crisp as a brick of Neopolltan ice cream. Mr. Hines talked of it as follows: "We have amalgamated an old-time "nigger-head" with a "gem," and there is no question that it is gcing to be the leading melon. We are undecided as yet what to call it. One of the chief advan? tages of this melon, from our point of view, is that it will carry better than other varieties. The "niggei-bead" is ten? der in the rind, so that if you pile it in bulk it cracks. This is a black seed mel? on, and we firmly believe that it will take supremacy over all other watermelons. At present it is being grown in Florida, but next year it will be raised throughout Georgia, North Carolina and Maryland." ?New York limes. ? It may not be known generally that the dowagar empress of China has had a very romantic history. She was the ohild of poor parents in the suburbs of Canton, and remarkable for her beauty. At a time when her parents did not know whence their daily bread was to come, she suggested that they sell her as a slave. This course was followed, and she be? came the property of a famous general. He was bo enchanted with her beauty < that he adopted her. When the general next went to Peking, uo says a corres? pondent, the general offered his beautiful daughter to the emperor, and thereby won great favor. The young girl so charmed his majesty by her looks and intelligence that he soon made her his wife. When the emperor died the former slave became regent of the empire, and administered the national affairs better than almost any of her predecessors. She is justly considered one of the great wo? men of her time. -? Mr. Wanamaker has increased his life insurance to the remarkable aggregate of $2,000,000. He is certainly the most heavily insured man in America and .possibly in the world. John B. Stetson, of Philadelphia, has policies on his life for 9750,000 and Tamil ton Disston for $000,000. Chauncey M. Depew is said to be insured for $500,000. ? B. A. Walton, of Bryan, Ga., died there from hydrophobia on Sunday night. After being bitten by the mad dog he was sent to the Pasteur Institute, New York, for treatment and was discharged as cured. His agonies for four days were terrible. ? A Denver preacher has declared that "ten thousand people are going to hell on bloyoles," which leads a thoughtless paragrapher to remark: "That is a mighty small percentage of accident* considering the nnmber of bloyoles on the road." ?The latest private residence complet? ed in New York is heated and lighted by electricity. Electricity will likewise do the cooking in tbe kitcben, and there are electric bells, electric dumb-waiters, an electric passenger elevator and electric ventilating fans. Electricity also oper? ates a refrigerating system which is ar? ranged to keep tbe temperature in sum? mer as cool as it is in winter. ?The captive balloon whioh tbe French expect to employ at the World's Fair of 1000 will be 144 feet in diameter, and is to ascend to an elevation of 1,950 feet. This is twice as higb as tbe Eiffel tower. Tbe balloon is to be managed by a wire cable, varying in diameter from 3.93 to 4.71 inches, and will probably be capable of taking up 160 passengers at once. Two Lives Saved. Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City, Tll. was told by her doctors abe had Con? sumption and that there was no hope for her, but two bottles of Dr. .King's New Discovery completely cured her and abe eays it saved her life. Mr. Thos. Eg?ers, 139 Florida St. San Francisco, suffered from a dreadful cold, approaching Con? sumption, tried without result everything else then bought one bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery and in two weeks was cured. He is naturally thankful. It is such results, of which these are samples, that prove the wonderful efficacy-of this medioine in Coughs and Colds. Free trial bottles at Hill Bros.

ANSWERS TO A. FEW QUESTIONS That we are Asked Every Day. QUESTION.?Mr. Minor, why are you always busy ? ANSWER.?"Eternal vigilance is tbe price of a living, and we must have bread.
