They are brought across the ocean as ballast, and consequently there is no carriage charges 011 them except from Charleston here. Hence the reason they are so cheap. And they are the finest, most compact heads you ever saw, and of excellent quality. But isn't that funny, importing cab bage from far-away Denmark? It's 11 Mistake. A report comes from Arkansas by private letter that cotton is bringing 12? cents there for the best and 10 cents lor yellow cotton. But that is hardly probable, since it is worth at Memphis only 9 cents, and Memphis is the most important market in that section of the country. At Galveston ;iud Houston, which are both a long way from Arkansas, the market has not yet been over 9| cents. It is not probable that cotton would be worth more at any other point in Arkansas than at those places, in tact, it would actually bring less on account of ll. ?

Last Friday afternoon Miss Cora Thomas, the 17-year-old daughter of Mr. S. 1). Thomas of this place, met with a very serious accident. She was up street shopping and started across Church street toward the store of tho Ileath B. & M. Co. when she was struck by the runaway horse of Dr. E. S. McDow and knocked some ten feet and landnd rm tho .....w/v* v/i* IIIU iiai u street broadsided. She was picked up by bystanders who found that she was insensible for a time, and taken up into Dr. McDow's office for medical treatment. It was found that her leg was broken above the knoe and that she had received a bruise on the side of her temple, though this turned o*t to be not serious. The broken limb was sot by the doctors and she was takon home and is doing as well as could bo expected. She had an extremely narrow escape from an awful death. If the end of the buggy shaft which grazed her head had 9truck her squarely, she would most probably have been instantly killed. Miss Thomas perhaps cannot say just why she kept going on across Church street when she saw Dr. McDow's horso coming at such a terrific rate. Somo were calling to her from both sides of the street to go back and it is probable that she got confused and frightened and lost her self control. Dr. McDow lost control of hi9 horse as he came up Main 9treot, and seeing he could do nothing with him, jumped out of the hiiffffv iiwt t.liiu uul/. QO J j - ?"?u aiwu \Jk 1111 . tt 111 Brown's house, and tho horso kept on at lightning spoed, turning into Church street and dashing down that and into tho Cly burn-Iieath Livery stables where ho stopped after he had gone to tlm back end of the stablos, as far as ho could go. Besidos the accidont to Mi6s Thomas and some bruises Dr. McDow got when ho jumped out of the buggy, no damage was done. This is the same old horse that Dr. Poore rode while in the Spanish-American war. Death of Mr. J. W. Williams It was a great surprise to the many friends of Mr. James W.

According to the report of the > attorney general there were > 223 homicide cases in the State ; during the year 1UU2. This is i a fearful record for a State with i hut little over a million and a t half of people. We venture' to j say that ninety-nine out of each ; hundred were the direct result . of carrying concealed weapons. I Yet there are legislators who ? hesitate, even refuse, to vote for i tho passage of a bill which j would compel violators of the law to serve 011 the chaingang, or a law that would disfranchise them. And why? Simply because some white man would be likely to suffer the ignominy of TironniK# ^^ " ' " ? " ~ ' ii vui tug anij;ca or losing 1113 rights of citizenship. As long as the idea remains that we must make one law lor the 1 negro and another for the white r man in this particular, so long j will this most pernicious and t death dealing habit have a strong foothold among us and 5 there will bo 110 diminution of j violent deaths. The record for f the present year so far very r likely exceeds that of tlio past for tlio same time, and the statistics would prove it, we think, . if they could be had. 1 he quesimn ia lu. -1. 1 j vivii iO) uy? iUU.CH lUUgCI" lira j we to have our own lives in , danger and remain disgraced in the ayes of the world about this r thing??Columbia Record.
