September 12.: . 18h5 THE "Whinnsboro plan" for building a cotton factory shou'd suit every con dition of our people. It enables the p-)orest to put something into it, a.nd we have come to the conclusion that the poor people will have the factory to build. THE Carolina Planter, a journal de voted to agriculture, reached us on Wednesday. Its columus are full of matter which will generally benefit progressive farmers. It devotes con siderabl! space to the tob ceci it e: est and wi:l be a great factor, we thaik, in fostering all agricultural industries in our State. A corToN factory cannot be buil-, if everybody -"pours cold water" on the efforts to build it. Those who do not desire or cannot contribute an) thing to its success, should at least let it a!one, and say nothing about it. It has often been said that if you want to kill any town, let everybody who lives in It begin to abuse it and declare that it is dead. People will not have any better opinion of you than you have of yourself, neither will they have any better opinion of your town than you have. "ESPECIALLY should some provis ions be made against corrupt influences in eleftions. In municipalities there is generally corruption arnd dishonest means used in elections. It is your duty to see that municipalities have as honest and fair elections as you truthfnUy said it is "your duty to see~ that the State elections are as honest and fair as they are in municipalities." We need a reform to give us honest and fair State elections, and the con vention might as well recognize this fact. It is got to come some day, and it might as well come now. - COTTON FACTORIES. . Louisvwae ( Ly.) Home and Farra. Editor Home and Farm: rwant to give you a farmer's plan 'for'liuilding cotten factories in the South. Let every county, or district com posed of one or more counties, whose annual output of cottoin amounts to 40,000 to 50,000 bales organize a "Cotton Manufacturing Association" in the most favorable town in the district, capitalize it at an amount sufficien. to bnild a factory or factories, with capacity great enough to con sume the entire output of said~county or district; issue shares in small dli mensions-say, $10-and let each cotton farmer in the district, great or small, subscribe one-fifth of his next year's cotton crop (1895) to the asscci ation, for wshich be will receive sharer when same is delivered. Let mer chants and capitalists make monmey subscriptions, due November 1. If the dirtrict makes 40,000 baler, and one-fifth is centributed, it would have, at $25 per bale, $200,000 to begin with January 1, 1866. If one section. can do this any section in the cottor belt can, and if the cotton belt be divided into such sections, and each section builds factories to consume its own output, in five years or less the South will manufacture her own cotton. Then, she'll have the world in a sling, the financial question will be settled, and 5-cent cotton will be a thing of the past. The farmers will in a great measure becomeithe manufacturers of their own cotton, receiving the profits "a-comin' and a-goin" There are but two questions to settle in this proposition to make it work: First-Would the farmers contribute one-fith of their cotton crop for one or more years to such an enterprise if they could? Second-Could they, if they would? I am a farmer myself, and of the "lesser kind," experiencing as much "financial nepression" as most any other in my community, and after due reflection I can say that I can contribute one-fifth of my next year's cotton crop without any great incon venience. If a farmer gets pressed anid thinks he cannot get along without using his shares, he can do so; they will De worth dollar for dollar; banks and mionoyed men will lend money on them, to, say, 75 per cent .of the paid-up value. Will they if they can? Ye, if they are made to see that it will greatly in crease the profits of farming, build up our country, quadruple the volume of money in circulation, buird up cities in our midst, increase the value of our lands, create home markets for all snrplus products, etc., etc. I have talked with many farmers myw neighbors-about this scheme, and it has imterested all, and some ex 1:ressed themselves as ready to go into it to the amount of one-fifth (mcrme or~ less) of their cotton r<.dlc-ion as soon as put on f oot. WAsNINTOs, Sept. JO.-the Sep mber report of the statistician of the epartment of Agriculture shows a ,cline in the condition of corn to .4 from 102.5 in the monthof August, ing a falling off of 6.1 points. The rospects for the corn crop have suf red from drought during August in e surplus producing States of Ohio, diana, and Iowa and a portion of ebraska. Rep.orts from Indiana, :wa, and Ohio indicats that though iere have been rains during the latter art of the month they have been enerally too iate to beofgreatbenefit. fa rought has also injured the crop in k ie easter S-.:s, New York, New di eriey, Penitylvania and Maryland. n Inch more enrurging reports come a -om the South, which indicates that I i that action the crop will be larger b ban ever before pr 'uced. Too much s ain is not-d in , -. n sections of 8 outh Carolina, A.eb-ma and Miss-s- y ippi and drooght s ms to have un- k avorably eff' -d ce..ain localities in 9 'exas. Rtepor , bo-evee, from this ection art generally favo-able. The ave:-age in t'.e principal States : re: Kentucky 106, Ohio 83, Michigan n 5, Indiana 86, Illinois 97, Iowa 96, issouri 111, Kansis 86. The general condition of wheat, onsidering both winter and spring , arieties. when harvested, was 7.54 ,gainst 83.7 last year and 74 in 1892. 9 The reported condition for the prin ipal wheat States are as follows: )hio 64, Michigan 67, Indiana 59, Wisconsin 85, Miiirq:sota 107, Iowa L06, Kansas 40, Neoraska 74, North Dakota 105, South Dakota 74, Cali fornia 75. Oregon 73. Condition of oats when harvested was 86; rye 83.7; barley 87 6; buck- i wheat 87.5; potatoes 90.8 COTTON REPORTS. The September cotton crop iepor ft r the Department of Agriculture shows a decline from the August condi: ion of the crop, which was 77.9 to 70.8 per cent., a decline of 7.1 per cent. This makes the lowest condition since 1881, when it was reported at 70 per cent. The next lowest since 1881 was the condition of 1893 when it stood for tlhe siami month at 73.3. Cotton suffered severely during the month of August from the drought which characterized the early part of the month and excessive rain which succee,led. The presence of boll woitms has worked greit injuy and the crop has been injured by shedding and rust. The causes mentioned by Texas correspondents for the deterola tion in that State are as follows: Drought, hot weather, fRoods, boll worms, sharp shooter, Mexican weevil, caterpillars, army worms and weeds. There is a striking unanimity in the pessimistic tone adopted by corres pondents tnroughout all of the cotton iaising States.. The State averages are as follows: Virginia 84, North Carolina 79, South Carolina 71, Georgia 81, Florida 79, Alabama 74, Mississippi 77, Louis: ana 75, Texas 56, Arkansas 79, Tennes see 76, Kentuicky 85. Marvelous Results. From a letter written by Rev. J. Gunl deran, of Dimoodale, Mich,, we are per mnitted to make this extract: "I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. King's New Discovery, as the results were almost marvelons in the case of my wife. While I ws pasto of the Baptist Church at hu* i eiterut ad iteaed as if she could not survive thera. A friend recommended Dr. King's New Dis covery; it was quick in its work and high ly satisfactory in results." Trial bottles free at McMaster & Co.'s Drug Store.

In the sc athe a portion of tbe city where th, str~ its are hilly the drains were -'erf-c' re- ing torrents and a p.culiar and unr.ual accident happened. A n- ro was driving a horse to a wvoon lo-.d di with brick and attempted :o crr s the drain at the corner of College aud Gates streets. The water was rushing by at a terrible rate. The horse had herd'y got fairly in it when be with the she. wts washed from the wagon by 'he for of the water. He got stock rntder a bridge across the paveiment, but tbat being lifted up by some n gro~s, the water took him rushing on, roirtg him over and over like a bari I. H:: was car ried fully tbree squares before he was gotten out. lie had the skin knocked off his legs, sides and back in many places and on the whole was badly used up, though it is a wonder he was not drowned outright.

RIDER HAGGARD, ITHOB OF "S"E," "KING SoLoMON ' i] MIEs," "Jzss," "CLFo PATrni," ETc; s ' NEW AFRICAN ROMANCF P "I killed her!" the dying woman a Itered, "and I loved her. Yes, yes-I r ow now. I became a brute again and M iagged her to the brutes, and now once a ore I am a woman, and she is dead, t id I killed her-because I loved her so. i killed her who saved me from the 1 -utes. I am not dead yet, Macuma Lhn. Take md and torture me to death, owly, very slowly. It was jealousy of >u that drove me mad, and I have lled her, and now she never can for lve me." "Ask forgiveness from above," I said, >r Hendrika had been a Christian, and e torment of her remorse touched e. "I ask no forgiveness," she said. May God torture me forever, because I :illed her; may I become a brute for ver till she comes to find me ad for Ive me! .I only want her forgivenels." Lnd wailing in an anguish of the hoart o streng that her bodily suffering eemed to be forgotten, Hendrika, the laboon-woman, died. I went back to the kraals, and, wak ng Indaba-zimbi, told him what had appened, asking him to send some me to watch the body, as I proposed to ive it burial. But next morning it vas gone, and I found that the natives, .earing of the event, had taken the rpse and thrown it to the vultures ith every mark of hate. Such, then, was the end of Hendrika. A week after Hendrika's death I left 3abyan kraals. The place was hateful o me now, it was a haunted place. I' ient for old Indaba-zimbi and told him ;hat I was going. He answered that it. as well. "The place has served your ,urn," he said; "here you have won thati joy which it was fated you should win, nd have suffered those things which it as fated you should suffer. Yes, and hough you know it not now, the joy and the suffering, like the sunshine and Itorm, are the same thing, and will rest t last in the same heaven, the heaven rom which they came. Now go, Ma umazahn." I asked him if he was coming with me. "No," he answered, "our paths lie, apart henceforth, Macumazahn. We met together for certain ends. Those ends; are fulfilled. Now each one goes 4is wn way. You have still many years before you, Macumazahn; my years are few. When we shake hands here i will be for the last time. Perhaps wr may meet again, but it will not be in this world. Henceforth we have each of .s a friend the less." "Heavy words," I said. "True words," he answered. Well, I have little heart to write of. the rest of it. I went, leaving Indab simbi in charge of the place, andm ing him a present of such cattlea goods as I did not want. Tota I, of course, took with me. Fort named, was a fine, healthy child, and I was lucky in getting a respectable na -- woman, whose husband had been killed in the fight with the baboons, to accompany me as his nurse. Slowly, and followed for a distance by all the people, I trekked away from Babyan kraals. My route towards Natal was along the edge of the Bad Lands, and my first night's outspan was beneath that very tree where Stella, my lost wife, had found us as we lay dying of thirst. I did not sleep much that night. And yet I was glad that I had not died in the desert about eleven months before. I felt then, as from year to year I have ontinued to feel while I wander hrough the lonely wilderness of life, that I had been preserved to an end. I had won my darling's love, and for a lit tle while we had been happy together. Our happiness was too perfect to endure. She i~ lost to me now, but she is lost to be found again. Here on the following morning I bado farewell to Indaba-zimbi. "Good-bye, Macumazahn," he said, sodding his white lock at me. "Good-1 ye for awhile. I am not a Christian; our father could not make me that. But he was a wise man, and when he ald that those who love each other ihall meet again he did not lie. And I, oo, am a wise man in my way, Macuma ahn. And I say it is true that we shall neet again. All my prophecies to you iave come true, Macumazahn, and this ,ne shall come true also. I tell you that rou shall return to Babyan kraals and hall not find me. I tell you that you hall journey to a further land chan 3abyan kraals and shall find me. Fare ell!" and he took a pinch of snuff, urned, and went. Of my journey down to Natal there is ittle to tell. I met with many advent res, but they were of an every-day kind, *nd in the' end arrived safoly in Port )urban, which I now visited for the .rst time. Both Tota and my baby boy ore the journey well. And here I may s well chronicle the destiny of Tota. or a year she remained under my barge. Then she was adopted by a idy, the wife of an English Colonel, to was stationed at the Cape. She was mken by her adopted parents to En land, where she grew up a very charm ig and pretty girl, and ultimately mar Led a clergyman in Norfolk. But I ever saw her again, though we often 'rote to each other. Before I returned to the country of y birth, she, too. had been gathered to ie land of shadows, leaving three chil 'en behind her. Ahm me! all this tools ace so long ago. when I was young who )W am old. Perhaps it may interest the r'eader~ to ow the fate of Mr. Carson's property, ich should of course have gone to his andson Harry. I wrote to England claim the estate on his behalf, mt the lawyer to whom the mat r was submitted said that my mar mgo to Stella, not having been cele ated by an ordained priest, was not al according to IFnglish law, and ' erefore Iharry could not inherht. olishly enough I acquiesced in this, .d the property passed to a cousin of father-in-law; but since I have come live in England I have been informed at this opinion is open to great sus- - zion, and that there is every probabil that the courts would have declared e marriage perfectly binding, as hay- i been solemnly .ntered Into in ac- e rich 4hat it is not w'h b h o 6e iii the thatter. The couslin, ;S dl Is son is in possession. so I t hi M keep Once, and ones only, did I re visit Bab- S In kraals. Some fifteen years after y darling's death, when I was a man .middle age, I undertook an expedi on to the Zambesi, and one night out anned at the mouth of the well-known lley beneath the shadow of the great eak. I mounted my horse, and, quite Lone, rode up the valley, noticing with strange prescience of evil that the >ad was overgrown, and, save for the usic of the waterfalls, the place silent s death. The kraals that used to be to ie left of the road by the river had van shed. I rode toward their sito; the A iealie fields were choked with weeds, aths were dumb with grass. Presently reached the place. There, overgrown ith grass, were the burnt ashes of the R raals, and there, among the ashes, -3eaming in the moonlight, lay the hite bones of men. Now it was clear R : me. The settlement had been fallen n by some powerful foe, and its inhab tants put to the assegai. The forebod ngs of the natives had come true; Bab -an kraals were peopled by memories .lone. I passed on up the terraces. rhere shone the roofs of the marble uts. They would not burn, and were F oo strong to be easily pulled dovnas entered one of them-it had been >ur sleeping hut-and lit a can- P ile which I had with me. The huts had been sacked; leaves of books nd broken fragments of the familiar furniture lay about. Then I remem bered that there was a secret place hol lowed in the floor and concealed by a stone, where Stella used to hide her little treasures. I went to the stone and dragged it up. Therd was some thing within wrapped in moldering, native cloth. I undid it. It was the ( dress my wife had been married in. In the center of the dress were the withered wreath and flowers she had worn, and with them a little paper packet. I opened it; it contained a lock of my own hair. I remembered that I had searched for this dress when I came away and couldn't find it, for I had forgotten the secret receas in the floor. Taking the dress with ne I left the hut for the last time. Leaving my f horse tied to a tree, I walked to the grave-yard, through the ruined garden. There it was a mass of weeds, but over my darling's grave grew a self-sown orange tree, of which the scented petals fell in showers on to the mound be neath. As I drew near there was a crash and a rush. A great baboon leapt from the center of the grave-yard and vanished into the trees. I could al most believe that it was the wraith of Hendrika doomed to keep an eternal, watch over the bones of the woman her. jealous rage had done to death. I tarried there awhile, filled with such thouguts as may not be written. Then, leaving my dead wife to her long sleep where the waters fell in mnelan choly music beneath the shadow of the everlasting mountain, I turned and sought that spot where first we had told our love. Now the orange grove was nothing but a tangled thicket; many of the trees were dead, choked with creep erbut some still flourished. There Sela, the Stella whom I had wed. Ay! there she sat, and on her upturned face was that same spiritual look which I saw upon it in the hour when we first had kissed. The moonlight shone in her dark eyes, the breeze waved in her curling hair, her breast rose and foil, a gentle smile played about her parted lips. I stood transfixed, gazing on that 0 lost loveliness which once was mine. I could not speak, and she spoke no word; she did not even seem to see mec. I drew near.' Now her eyes fell. For a moment they met mine, and their mes sage entered into me. Then she was gone; nothing was left but the tremulous moonlight falling - where she had been, the melancholy - music of the waters, the shadow of the everlasting mountain, and, in my heart, the sorrow and the hope.

How Dr. Miles' Nervine Brought One of Kentucky's Foremost Busi ness Men Back to hiealth. .! ~A, 7O DISEASE has ever presented so many peculiarities, developed at many aggravating symptoms and baffled so many physicians at LaGrippe. No disease leaves its victims so debilitated, useless; sleepless, ncr eless, as LaGrippe. It is a disease of the nerves; It uses up the tissue, the vitality, the life-giving nerve force that feeds the brain There is one remedy that will replace this worn-out tissue; that will xe, new this lost vitality and restore health. Read what Mr. D. W. Hilton, state agent of the Mutual Life Insurance Co., of Kentucky, one of the best known insurance men in the south, and whose portrait appears above, says about how Dr. Miles' Nervine Restored him to health when all else had failed. "In 1889 and '90 I had two severe attacks of LaGrippe, about eightI months intervening between them, the last one ccnfining me to my bed for four months and attacking my nervous system, with such severity that my life was despaired of. I had not slept for more than two months except by the use of narcotics that stupefied me, but gave me no rest. For more ta1an eight long weeks I was only conscious of intense mental weakness, agonizing. bodily pain and the fact that I was hourly growing weaker. When; in this condition, it seemed like a providential circumstance th::t I learned of Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine, for in tuwo days am er I commenced using it, I began to improve, and in one month's time I was virtually cured, and very much to the surprise of everybody who knew of my condition;.for none of them believed I would ever recover. I have been in excellent health~ since and have rocommended your remedies to many of my frieds not on of whom has failed to thank me for doing so, when I have met them again. But the best remains to be told. Mrs. Hilton had suffered with severe nervous troubles for thirteen years and had been treated by several physi cians, who stand high in their profession, yithout any perceptible improve ment. Seeing how the Nervine had so effectually cured me, she commenced using it and is now in excellent health. We never fail to recommend It." , 54 LoUISvILLE, Jan. 22, 1895. D. W. HILTON.
