- It Is a startling facL that quinine, ar
senic, and other poisonous minerals form
the basis of most of the “ Fever anil Ague
Preparations,” "Specifics,” "Syrups,”
and “ Tonics,” in the market. The prep*
srations made from those mineral poisons,
although they are palatable, and may
break the chill, do not cure, but leave the
malarial and thefr'own drag poison la
the system, producing ouinlsm, dizziness,
ringing In ths cars, headache, vertigo, and
other disorders mors formidable than
th^diaease they were intended to cure.
Avek’s Aoue Cure thoroughly hradicates
these noxious poisons from the system,
and always cures the severest case*. It
contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing
that could injure the most delicate pa
tient; and its crowning excellence, above
its certainty td cure, is that it leaves ths
system as"

In cotton, the people of the South did
unquestionably make about $130,000,

this staple. While these ftefa are no.
!• fw useless to advise Southern farm
ers against planting cotton. The
farmers themselves know better,
It is to theintereet of the South that
her farmers should make as much
cotton as ihey can. There is, at this
time, no more fallacious theory, than
that which maintains that small crops
are essential to the maintenance of
piicce. The writer has always h*ld
and expressed the opinion, since 1806
that it was to t he interest of the South
to produce large cotton crops; that
her capacity to do so was almost nn
limited, and by the year 11900, crops
of 20,000,000 bales per annum would
be produced, and not thought extra
ordinary; and that the consumption
would keep so much ahead of the
production, that on an average, proflt-
nbl* prices would always be
by the farmers. The world can use
much more cotton than some persons
think; and at the present time, al
though the crops of the past two years
have been the largest ever produced,
the manufacturers of Europe; will not
be able to obtain enough of the raw
material to satisfy their wants from
now until the arrival of the new crop
of 1880.
The increase of cotton marketed be
tween September, 1878, and same date
of 1880, will have been about 12 per
cent, more than for the previous two
years; but the increase in thf con
sumption will have been about 20 per
cent, for the same period. This posi
tion has already had such effect, that
at this moment, there is decrease tn
the visible supply to Europe of 300,000
bales; and by October this deficit will
have assumed such large proportions,
as will be alarming to manufacturers
The stock on hand in America is about
286,000 bales to oxcegg of, that of. last
year, at the aama time; but, uqder the
unprecedented activity of the manu
facturing toterejels wo think that near
ly aR orth is excess wtlt be consumed
at home as the exports to Europe,
from now until September will be
probably about the same, as that for
the corresponding period of 1879.
The consumption of Europe and
America for 1880 to 1881 promises to
be so large, and sb much in excess of
that of past years, that a much larger
supply of cotton will be required, and
an increase in the crop of this year of
1,000,000 bales over that of 1879 will
not depress prices.. The farmers have
every reason to elfpect a proeperou*
year, if the peace of Europe is main
tained throughout 1880; and they will
probably obtain good prices for their
cotton crops. If, however, there
should be war between any of the
great powers, the price of cotton would
decline very considerably from its
present value. A. E. F.

Jim Blake was shot dead in his
own doorway by Antonio Gueido, and
the trial was to come off directly.
Intercat in the affair was due less
ta ttle murder, (hau to the fact that
this was the flist case tried at Ban
Saba in any more formal court than
tbe time-honored iuetltutloo of Judge
Lynch. Jim bad beeoaquietmananda
good ne|ghbor,so public sentiment ran
high agalust Antonio. If the general
iuclioa'ion had been followed tbe last
named geuiit-inaa would have found
scant opportunity to make any re
marks in his own behalf.
However, tniogs were advancing at

Antonio without a regular trial, no

Judge Bilbaldo, who se ideas on such
subjects were usually accepted with

Nevertheless th:re was tnofo than

to whom It was by no means clear
that there could be any sense or proflt
to thus beating about the bush.
-Ef Antonio’s goto ter be hung, why
don’t we hang him?”
This was the query of Jake Smith,
the leader of the opposing faction, and
hiavlewof the question put It In so
clear a light that the judge had great
diffleulity in impreasiog people with
his conviction. He said that things
had gone on in an irregular way long
enough; and hero was a way to start
the law in ptoperly, and give It a fair
ahow. Besides, It • didn’t make any

Of course everybody came to the
trial. Pilbaldo's shed was filled to

sharp-featured fellow from Galveston,
had bustled about with supilsing
agility on toe day previous, holding
mysterious conference with llbcon-
ditioned fellows of Gueldo’s kidney.
Jake Smith was highly dissatisfied,
and the judge was heard to utter some
missglvlngs; however, by the time the
proceedings had really commenced be
gained confidence. •
Tbe court Was assembled, the Jury
Chosen; and the witnesses were Ell

"I tell yer,’said the Judge, "I tell

8o the Judge’s argument settled the
matter At>d it was decide^ that Antonio

Here a rough table and chair wsrft
placed fof the Judge, tbe other neoes-
