in the Atlanta Constitution, says:
"As an illustration of tho man '
ner in which the farmers of the ]
country have lost heretofore, it is j
only necessary to repeat a state- ,
ment recently made by Mr. lies
ter, of New Orleans, that out of
an annual cotton receipt of one (
million three hundred thousand 1
bales in that city over thirty-seven t
thousand bales were made up out
ot samples which had been ruthlessly
plucked trom the bales by
the men who handled them, which (

besides its other economies it prevents
this injust tribute from being
levied on the farmer. 1

END OF THE STORM.
The West Indian Wanderer Has
Cansed Some Apprehension,but
Did very Little Damage. I
After causing several (lays of
apprehension, discomfort and
bluster the weather department
treated Charleston yesterday to
an October day and fall tern
perature. The change was most
welcome to everbody, and now
the wise ones say : uThe cool
week in August has arrived."
The last vestiges of the West Indian
cyclone disappeared yesterday,
and there was only enough
winu 10 maKe tilings agreeable.
A. clear sky was overhead, but
the sun's rays seemed tempered,
and lor the first time in many
weeks the shady side of the streets
was not at a premium.
Reports that come in from the
sea island cotton and rice fields
are to the effect that little or no
damage has been done to the
storm. From the Combahee, Savannah
and Cooper River rice
plantations the reports are that
as most of the rice is yet standing
the high tide did not hurt it.
Usually these tropical storms find
the ric* cut and stacked in the
fields, and in this condition great
damage can be done.
One of the prominent sea island
cotton planters said that except
for the beating ofT of some
bolls the cotton was not seriously

LANGUAGE OF ADAM.
rhe Novel Project of a Scientist
to Find it.
Two Hundred Infants to He
liaised by Deaf Mutes on
an Island W here Spoken
Words are
Unknown.
A well known scientist is going
to try and find the key to the
language spoken in I'aradise. lie
intends to find an island sotno
where, at present uninhabited, and
which possesses a good, healthy
climate. This *he will colonize
with 100 or 200 children under
.he age of two years.
These children will he 6olely
n the care of deaf mutes, who
?an neither read nor write. No
sound of the human voice will be
illowed to reach these children.
It is thought that the mode of
communication which the children
will adopt as they grow to
maturity will give a clew to the
original languarge used by man.
They will bo furnished with all
the comforts and advantages of
modern civilization, save that
they will not be allowed to hear
the human voice. That this plan
svill in a single generation give
birth to a new language is open
Lo discussion, but it will be necessary
to confine this article solely
to what the scientist purposes,
and to leave the reader to speculate
as to the outcome.
The professor asserts that the

relationship which exists between
all languages leads to the reasonable
supposition that at one time
there was but one common lan
guage.
We are told in sacred history
that the whole earth was of one
tongue, and that at the building
of the Tower of Babel the tongue
of the builders was confused in
order that they might not understand
one another's speech.
What the original heaven-born
tongue was it is believed was then
lost. That it must have been the
Bweetest language we can conceive
there can be no question,
j since our first parents were able
to converse with their heavenly
visitors. And there is no record
that they were despoiled of their
language upon their expulsion
from Eden. The professor seems
thoroughly enthused with this
project, and believes that in his
lifetime he will be able to give
to the world a wonderful discovery.
"If I can secure proper protective
legislation I should prefer to
locate my colony in the United
States," he said. "There are several
spots which would suit my
purpose admirably. If that cannot
be done I shall haye to locate
somewhere upon an island in the
east. This latter course would
be the safer plan in one way, be
cause it would enable me to
insure against the sound of any
human voice penetrating to the
childish inmates of my colony,
and also that no books, papers,
writing or anything that would
give them an inkling of a means
of communication ever fall into
their hands.
"The countrv nrnvwle/l <Y?r

with birds, animals and flowers,
so that they will have every op
portHnity of enjoying and studying
natural history. This in itself
will insure them a good foun
dation for an education which
shall be of their own inspiration,
as it were.
' I have already 25 deaf mutes
who are being trained under my
care. What I now require is 100
good healthy babies between the
ages of one and two years ; and 1
believe I shall have little difficulty
in obtaining these, as there are
many unfortunate mothers who
will be glad to surrender their
infants to my care when they
know I can assure them a home
in which their health and happiness
are the lirdt consideration,
and that every provision for their
welfare in life will be made.

disposal now which covers every

surrounds them."
Such is in brief the plan of a
scientist who has won some little
distinction, and devoted the best
years of his life to the study of
languages.?Cincinnati Enquirer.

For the Enterprise.
Bonded Warehouses a Necessity.
Mr. Editor :?Notwithstanding
the floods in Texas, and drought
in South Carolina, and other cotton
growing States, and the
decrease in cotton acreage the
cotton speculators are determined
to put down' the price of cotton.
They estimate the crop at 12,000,000
bales, and on the publication
of this estimate (made to order
by Mr. Neill) the price declined
CO points. The fact of decreased
acreage, Hoods and drought, are
ignored in this absurd estimate.
Yet the buyers tlx prices in
accord with such an estimate.
The cotton planters should act in
concert, and at once, to pre.vent
being robbed ot their honest earnings.
The cotton speculators
know that the cotton crop is

it. And that the merchant that
furnished the supplies is compelled
to have his money for supplies
as the mortgages (or lines)
become due to meet his own
liabilities. Hence the cotton will
be forced to sale regardless of
price. The only relief is bonded
warehouses in every market
town, where cotton can be stored,
and money drawn on warehouse
certificates, which will enable the
cotton planter to pay the merchant
for supplies advanced, and
hold his cotton until there is a
legitimate demand for it from

a fair price, and will no longer
be robbed by greedy speculators.
York is building a bonded warehouse,
Kershaw speaks of building
one. Let every cotton market
be supplied with one and fair
prices will be secured and the farmer
and merchant greatly relieved.
