WITRST COTTON WILL NEWS. Oliver Cromwell’s Court. The protector’s wife’s order of eating and mAnJtimes were thus regulated: Fir jt of all at the ringing of a bell dined the halberdiers, or men of the guurd, with the inferior officers. Then the same bell rang again and the steward’s table was set for the better sort of those that waited on their highnesses—ten of whom were apportioned to a table or moss, one of which was chosen by them- aelves every week for steward, and he gave the clerk of the kitchen the bill of fare, as was agreed upon generally every morning. To these ten men and what friends should casually come to visit them tbo value of 10 shillings, in what flosh or fish soever they would have, with a bottle of sack and two of claret, was appointed. Suppers they had none, eggs or some slaps (?) contenting Crom well and her ladyship, and to his exem plar all was conformed. In lieu thereof for .the family there was constantly boiled eight stone of beef early in the morning, to keep her retainers in heart and in earnest of a dinner, the broth whereof and all the scraps and reliques of dinner were alternately given to the poor of St. Margaret’s, Westminster and fit. Martin’s in the Fields. One of the earliest lives of the pro tector, "The Perfect Politician,” states that he gave a public dinner “every Monday in the week to all the officers of the army not below a captain, whore he used to dine with him. A table was likewise spread every day of the week for such officers as should casually come to tbo court. ” Occasionally there were solemn entertainments to a foreign em bassador or some public body.—Coruhill Magazine. ftamory's Censorship of News. Samory’s son Karamoko was sent to Paris some years ago and brought back graphic accounts of the wealth and power of France. Samory listened to his story and remarked: “You are my very •dear son. I counsel you to forget all you have told me and to let no one learn you found the French so strong.” Kar- -amoko, however, spoke out again on see ing his father preparing for another raid, so the latter had him immured iu an earthen hut, where he was left to die, with a pitcher of water to prolong his agony. Five days later Sumory opened the living grave and as the youth still breathed strangled him with his own bands. "So may all perish,” he cried, “who think of inaking peace with the French invader. ”—London Chron icle. Everrbody Says So.

A bale of cotton weighing 496 pounds was sold in the Atlanta mar ket today for 10 cents a pound. Mr. Bailey, the well known cotton man, was the buyer. It was the first bale ginned and sold from the crop grown by Thomas A. Jackson, and was of the wonder ful “Jackson limbless” variety. When it was thrown off in front of the warehouse, on the corner of West Hunter and Forsyth streets, the cotton men standing around made a lively dive for it and began to pull out samples. None of them had ever seen any thing like it, and when they would jerk out a sample they would feel of and comment on its wool-liao soft ness and springiness. “Here, boys,” said Mr. Bailey, “we’ll have to get this bale of cotton inside before they pull it all out.” In fact, so fine and soft and silky is the fibre of the lent that a blind man can tell a sample of it from that of the ordinary cotton simply by tho feeling. It feels, to the touch, more like fine lamb’s wool than like cotton, and no sample of Sea Island cotton ever grown possesses the same beauty, strength and general appearance of this wonderful exotic from equatorial Africa, which has been transplanted to the old red hills of Georgia. “Tho first bale of Jackson limbless cotton was sold on the Atlanta ex change this day, bringing 10 cents a pound. The sample of this cotton, by actual measurement, was 14 inches in length, is the way Mr. Bailey certified to th«a genuineness of the sale and the quality of the cotton. Mr. Jackson has six acres of this remarkable cotton, and the most conservative of his friends claim that he is good for 18 bales, in spite of the long drouth which has injured tho top crop. The stalks range from eight to nine feet in height, some of them going as high as ten and eleven, and it is still green from top to the bottom, ex cept where the fruit leaves have dropped off after the bolls had opened, as is the habit of the cotton. Today, while common middling cotton was selling at about 5 cents a pound cotton from this bale brought 10 cents, which is a fair il lustration of its immense value to the South. *T shall hold this bale,” said Mr. Bailey, “until the remainder of the crop is marketed. If I can get twenty-five bales I shall ship it to the Coates Spool Cotton Co., at Low ell, Mass., for it ought to command equally as high, if not a higher price, than the very best of Sea Is land. I shall keep it here, at any rate, until all who are incredulous may have an opportunity to come and see it for themselves.” . ■ ^ i m 11 ^ 11 a j t i a i w * — ■ *— - — - . - - - - ^ ~ ^ '* ■ « • Miss Allie Huilhes, Norfolk, Va., wus frightfully burned on the face and neck..
