THE KN?INEEH AT HIS POST.
The Fa*fcnt Train In tho World and
tho Moil Who Manajce ii.
Tho averago Now-Yorker who rides
to Chicago in twenty hours, on tho
World's Fair llyor, does an easy day's i
work, in fact, does no work at all.
He rests comfortably at night, enjoys
wall-served meals, and reaches h:'s
destination almost boforo ho knows it.
Having paid tho price, such is the
arroganco of money, ho .takes all that
is done for him quite as a matter of
course, and knows no more of the work
ings of this wondorful train than a
schoolboy, whilo he cares rather less.
An engine pulls the curs, steam works
the engine, and as for the engineer,
tho New-Yorker never thinks of him
excopt to growl at him when he train is
lute and to advocate hanging him if
tqoro is un accidont. ??
Meantime, what is tho enginoor of
this fastest train in tho world doing
for tho passengor ? In tho first placo,
the Chicago flyor Is not driven by ono
but by many onginoors. In order to
covor tho niuo hundred and sixty-four
miles between tho two citlos In twenty
hours, including nino stops, thore ure
required sevon bugo engines in relays,
driven by soven grimy heroes. A run
of loss than ono hundred and llfty miles
is the limit per day for each engino,
whilo three hom*s of tho plunging
rush wears out t'.ie strongost enginoor.
Sixty, sovonty, oighty indes unliour?
what doos that mean to tho man at the
throttle ? It means that tho six and a
half foot drivers turn llvo times ovory
second and advance ono hundred foot.
Tic-tic-tic, aud tho train has run tho
longth of Now York's highest steeple.
Tho engineer turns his head for llvo
seconds to look at tho guuges, and in
that 'time tho torrlblo Iron creaturo,
putting forth the strength of u thou
sand horses, may have shot past a red
signal with its daugur warning live
hundrod feet away. Ton seconds, and
ono thousand feet are loft behind?
one-fifth of a mile. Who knows what
horrors may lie within that thousand
feot! Thore may bo death lurking
round a curve, death spreading its
arms in a tunnol, and the engineer
must seo and bo responsible for every
thing. Not only must ho note instantly
all that is boforo him, tho signals,
switches, bridgos, tho passing trains,
and the condition of the rails,
but ho must uet at the same moment,
working throttlo, air-brakes, or
revorsing lovor, not as quick as
thought, but quickor, for thoro is no
time to think. His muscles must do
tho right thing automatically under
circumstances where a second is
an ago. In tho threo hours of his vigil
there are ton thousand eight hundred
seconds, during oaeh ono of which he
must watch with tho montul alortnoss
of an athlete springing for a Hying
trapeze from tho roof of an amphi
theater, with tho courageous self-pos
session of a matador awaiting the
deadly rush of a mnddonod bull; and
far more depends upon tho engineer's
watching well, because, if he fails by a
hair's breadth in coolness or precision
of judgment, thoro may come destruc
tion, not only to himself, but to hun
dreds of passengers, who, whilo ho
stands guard, aro perhaps grumbling at
tho waitors in tho dining-car or telling
funny stories in tho smokor.
In' addition to this constant mental
tension, the ongineor on this hurling
train has to endure material discom
fort, often bodily suffering. Tho air
sweeps back in his face with tho breath
of a burricano, blowing smoko umi
cinders into his eyes. Most people
know tho intense pain a cinder causes
in a man's, eye, particularly a hot cin
dor. Tho Buffering is almost unbear
able ; and yot, suffering or no suffering,
the engineer who gets a cinder in his
oyo can have no roliof until tho end of
hli rolay. They shut their lips, these
unflinching mon, keop looking ahead,
and bear it. Long aftor they leavo
the cab tho burning sensation in thoir
eyes and oyclids continues, and oven
persists after hours of sioop. "It
seems as if nothing would rest my eyes,
sir," said ono of the now men after his
first wook on tho flyor. No wonder
tho eyesight of engineers fails rapidly ;
no wonder many of thorn are removed
from their positions evory year because
the examining doctors And thorn unable
to distinguish the signals. Tho
engineer suffers aiso from tho plung
ing and tossing of tho monster locom.
tivo, which bruises his whole bod_
with its violent rocking, and causes
sharp pains in tho back, particularly
where there is any tendency to kidney
trouble. Ono has only to wateh thoso
strong men as they stumblo down from
their engines at tho end of a relay,
has only to obsorvo their white faces
and unsteady gait, and seo the* con
dition of physical collapse which fol
lows, to understand what it costs in
vitality and grit to givo tho ease
loving public this incomparable train
sorvico.
Thus it is that, whilo the Now
Yorkor gets to Chicago with scarcely
more discomfort than if ho hud remain
ed at homo, tho samo journey wears
?out soven engineers, ull picked men;
for many of thorn who have soon years
of service on trains running forty miles
an hour, break down entiroly when
put upon the flyer. So exhausted aro
these soven onginecrs by thoir com
paratively short rolays, that they aro
obliged to lay off entirely during the
following day, to recover from the
shock. They do not even tako the
opposite-bound llyor back over thoir
stretch, but return with their engines
to .thoir respective starting-points,
drawing slower trains. Thus, soven
strong men do two days' work every
timo tho llyor runs from Now York
to Chicago, and soven other men do two
days' work every timo it runs back.
Each ongineor works threo hours on
tho flyor, roturns homo on an easy
train, and then rests forty hours before
his muscles and nerves and brain aro
in condition to ropeat tho operation.
So it results that twonty-cight on
ginoors, ono at a timo, aro required to
run this wondorful train from Now
York to Chicago and back again.
Fourteen votorans drive tho great
onginos ono way. and fourteon brother
votorans drivo them tho other.

HOME FACTO ABOUT COTTON.
America I? the Hone or the Fleecy
Staple?The South FurnUhes the
WorldV, Supply.
The cultivation of cotton is by no
moans a new thiug. The plant Is in
digenous to America, but about 1800
years before Columbus or America
wero dreamed of cotton was cultivated
in India and China. In India its culti
vation was very l'mited and was simply
to Hiipply the needs of tho natives, and
this condition prevailed until afterUho
English took possession of that coun
try. After English occupation its culti
vation was much extended, for tho
English hoped to render themselves
entirely independent of America n
the production of this important
article. Tho staple of the India cotton
Is inferior, howovor, and though great
effort wero inado to improve it tho in
dustry languished, or at least did not
show any material advancement until
tho great elvi1 war in America oc
curred. Then it became a matter of
necessity to find cotton olsowbore than
in America, and tho India cultivations
received a great impetus. From 1801
to 1807 tho Indi'-? cotton interest was
pushed forward so rapidly that during
the latter year tho surplus of the India
'crop exported to Great Britain amount
ed to 2,000,000 bales. But peace had
boon declared thon and there was more
and hotter cotton to be found in America
so the India cotton was allowed to fall
back again, until last yoar the total
foreign exports of all India amounted
to only 1,289,000 bales.
Next tolndia, outsiuo of America, as
a cotton-producing country comes
Egypt, and its cultivation there datos
back to tho earliest historical times.
Tho Egyptian eotton is tho best in tho
world, except tho far-famed sea island
cotton. Its staplo is long and silk-like
and is much sought aftor by nmnufoc-1
turors of lino goods. Unfortuuately,
while tho quality is so good, . tho
quantity is small, though last season
Egypt exported the equivalent of very
nearly 1,000,000 American bales.
But America is the natural homo of
the cotton plant and its cultivation
hero is so cheap and it grows 6o easily
that serious competition from the out
side world must bo very remote. There
are many varieties of cotton that are
indigenous hero, but only two have
suillcient merit or importance to de
serve montion, and only one is produc
ed in such quantities as to supply tho
demand of tho consumptive world.
Ono varioty from Honduras, trans
planted in Barbadoesand from there
carried to tho English colonies, has be
come famous the world ovor as sea
island cotton. Another, probably from
Mexico, was first grown in Louisiana
and spread from there ovor tho South
ern States, until now theso States
furnish tho world with its main supply
of cotton.
Year aftor year tho production in
tho United States has increased rapid*
ly until last year, season 1891-'i!2, the
greatest crop tho world has over known
?9.035,379 ualos?was produced, of
which 05 per cent was exported, and
notwithstanding the fact that tho price
of cotton was tho lowest ovor known
tho value of tho exports was $225,000,
000. Of that monster crop Texas pro
duced 2,400,000 bale-, or almost exactly
tho same number of bales produced by
tho ontiro eotton belt of tho United
States in tho season 1868-'69. To pro
duco such a crop 20,000,000 ueros wero
planted, moro than 3,000,000 animals
wero requirod to till tho soil, and from
first to last ovor 10,000,000 mon, womon
and children wore'engaged in cultivat
ing and gathering it.
After tho 9,000,000 balos of cotton
wore ginned there wore 4,500,000 tons
of seed loft, which sold for $31,500,000,
and had'the prices for cotton seed been
as high thon as thoy have been tho
past season* tho seed alono would have
sold for $108,000,000.

IIOW TO nWEEP.?for SWtoeplug t*
room neatly there is nothing like news
paper aid. Take a pago of newspaper,
or other paper, at a time, wot in hot
water and squeeze it until it ceases to
drip. Tear into pieces tho si/.o of one's
hand and cast them all ovor tho carpet.
Thon sweep, and most of tho dust in
tho room, if you use your broom judi
ciously, will bo gathered into tho pa
pers. On matting uso larger - pidees
of paper, pushing thorn about ahead of
the broom to take- up fluff, if any, be
foro beginning tho regular sweeping.
After a velvet or othor heavy-pile car
pet is thoroughly swept, a sponging
with ammonia and water will proservo
brightness wonderfully. Almut once a
month, aftor sweeping, tako a pailful
of warm water, adding thereto a tea
spoonful of ammonia or turpentine.
Two spoonfuls of tho latter will do
good, it being a nreventivo against
moths. Go over tho whole carpet with
a largo soft cloth or sponge, wrung so
as not to drip. Doubtless you will bo
surprised at the rapid discoloration of
the water. If tho carpet bo largo and
much soiled and dusty, tho water
should bo changed onco or twico.?

A Bankruptcy Law.?Tho Now
York Witnoss says that wo have long
needed a national bankruptcy law.
Tho Torrey bill has beon again intro
duced into tho House of Itepresonta
tlvcs by Colonel Oates, of Alabama.
This measure is in advanco of existont
laws and should bo pushed through
aftor being amended as may bo found
desirable during its passage. It puts
all tho creditors of a bankrupt On a
fair footing, instead of allowing undue
ln^fereneo such as are now so comhion
ly lhade. It also provides for tho dis
charge of an honest bankrupt aftor ho
has given up everything. Abovo all,
it aims to put an end to the porploxing
diversities which now oxist botwoon
the laws of differont States on this sub
ject. In tho present day when inter
communication between all parts of the
country is so constant and so intimato,
and tho business interests aro bo intor
woven, a national law is more than
ovor a businesss necessity. As mutters
now -dand, great injustico Is frequent
ly indicted on creditors for whom tho
debtor has no particular concern While
the interests of a favored few aro un
duly guarded. ?

his return ho talked learnedly of the
American and tho European plans to
his noighbor, Mr. Tudolsack.
"Und vot," asked Mr. Tudolsack,
" ish dat Amorican hl an mit a hotel ?"
"Tho Amorikin plap," answered
Uncle Jodedlah, " is a scheme In a

" Und vot is dot Euroboan blan ?"
" Tho European plan is jest tho

THE HOE ON THE FARM.
A Vigorous Protest Against this Im
{?lOment ot Slavery and a Pica for
*rogre?a.
Rowland Black in the Yorkville Kuquirer.
The hand-hoe, in our field crops, is a
most primitive tool, and requires more
labor for Its use In proportion to the
work done, than any tool on tho farm.
It Is a rolio of tho days " before tho
war," when on every plantation it was
necessary to havo something for every
slave, of whatevor sox or ago, to do.
This ono tool any of thom had sons?
enough to uso, and tho drudgery of the
work was not taken into account. Now
that this system has boon abolished
for a quarter of a century, and a largo
proportion of this slavish work Is done
by tho children of our white farmers,
wo should havo intelligence and pro
gress enough to at least minimize the
uso of this tool, and substitute for it
hooing by horso-power whenever it can
bo done.
Tho hoo has driven more boys from
tho farm and mado ''counter jumpers"
out of more nromising young men tbau
any other ono cause. In many cases it
Is an implement of torturo. An im
mature, undeveloped boy was expected
to swing Iiis hoo from morning until
night, day aftor day, and month aftor
month, until ho was tired, exhausted
and disgusted, and when ho draggod ,
his weary limbs to tho house at night
he would say to himself, if to no one
else, thore is an easier way -than this
to mako my living, and vhon I am a
man, I am going to flndnt. Theso early
impressions are lasting and in aftor
yoars, when tho memory runs ba%k to
the farm, tho picture of tnatold batter
ed hoo and tho backaches it had inflict
ed upon him, would rise up before him
aud make him shiver.
The hoo is ono of those tools that a
farmer hardly ovor thinks of sharpen
ing, perhaps bocauso ho thinks any
kind of a tool will do a boy to work
with, or that a dally* filing will wear
out the hoe too fast! If anybody
thinks 1 am saying too much for tho
boys on tho farm, ho must toinomber I
am a boy raysolf, and I havo a fellow
feeling. >
Tho hoo is tho cause of more bent
spines and stoop shouldors among our
farmers, than any other one thing. A
dull hoo is tho meanest tool in tho
world, and if all tho hoos used in this
part of the country, and a few of tho
c ooked spines they havo mado, wore
put on cxibition, it would go far to
show why our boys aro leaving tho
farms and going to town to find an
easier life.
I feol sure I am within tho bounds of
roason, whon I say that two-thirds of
this hand-hoeing is entirely unneces
sary in tho cultivation of our Hold
crops. Cultivators, with horse-hoo at
tachment, arranged so as to hoo away
as well as to tho growing plants, aro
?"<j? bv .several manufactures, tho
best of which, thai I have seen, is the
" Planet, Jr.," horse-hoo and cultivator
combined. This tool is not costly, and
does away with at least two-thirds of
the hand-hooing.
Lot us bo up and doing, keop pace
with tho progress which wo obsorvo
In other pursuits In tho uso of labor
saving contrivances, and our boys will
havo moro timo to read and go to
school, and tho memory of that dull
and batted hoc will not haunt them in
after life, and they will not, with
stooped shouldors and bont backs, look
llko old mon before thoy are fully
grown.
Boys, make your fathers road this,
and then remind him of thoso facts
every now and then between this and
next planting timo.
A New Candidate.?A spocial dis
patch to tho News and Courier gives
tho following information : " A now
Richmond has entered tho field as an
aspirant for tho ofllco of collector of
internal revenue for South Carolina.
Ho is Alan Johnstono, of Nowborry, a
brother of Ex-Congrossman Johnstono.
So bittor is the contest that thero
soems but littlo prospect of a speedy
and amicablo sottlomont of tho quos
tion. In thie contingency Col. Jas. L.
Orr, of Groonvillo, has forwarded the
application of Mr. Johnstono as a com
promise candidate. Both gentlemen
aro trustees of tho now State Agricul
tural College and havo been thrown
together considerably. It is urged in
support of Mr. Johnstono's claim for
recognition that ho is an honost,
straightforward Democrat, and further
that ho is and always has boon a staunch
Conservative Both of tho loading
candidates for tho appointmont havo
beon advocates of the " Reform " move
ment. Mr. Perry, who is tho choico
of Sonator Butler, and who has been
confident of tho nomination from tho
beginning of tho struggle, and Mr.
McCalla, who has tho backing of
Senator Irby, were Tillman delegates
to tho Chicago Convention. Mr. John
stono has never been -allied with tho
."Reform movement." and this fact,
with sovoral others, forms tho basis of
tho arguments of his frlonds w ho aro
seeking his appointment."

KISSING ThB Book.?A long defer
red agitation is springing up in Juon
don courts "gainst tho practice of
"klsssing thotbook." Tho other day
a doctor, called upon to givo ovidenco
in an assault caso, objected to putting
his lips to thegroasy cover, whoroupon
tho inugistrato suggested aa a com
promise that ho open the volume and
kiss ono of tho leaves. To this tho
doctor also objected on sanitary
grounds, and ho was finally allowod to
swear by holding up his hand. The
I .(union nowspapers urge that tho an
ciont system bo abolished, as its only
sorvico is to disgust cleanly pooplo and
to disseminate disease.
?Tho consus of 1880 guvo a groat
variety in tho cost of production of
cotton ; tho averago cost was nearly 9
cents a pound. This was reduced bo
twoon 1880 and 1800 to nearly 8 conts a

Trade at Home.?When tho lato
lamented Henry W. Grady made hia
speech before tho Now England So
ciety, in Now York, ho told with en
thusiastic prido of tho progress
Georgia had made since thp war.
Illustrative of this progress.hoi told of
a funeral ho attended just" after tho
war m.Pickeus county, and though the
gravo was dug through marble, the
slub that was put at tho head to mark
tho tr-ivo came from Vermont; though
it waa in an oak forest, tho cotlla eamo
from Cincinnati; though tho land
about tho grave was as good for graz
ing as any in tho world, yet tho shroud
that wrapped tho body was made of
South American wool. Ho went on to
show that evorything about "that
funeral had to be brought there from
outside of Georgia oxcopt tho corpse
and tho hole in tho ground. Ho said
thai as he was speaking about twenty
livo rears had elapsed since that
funeral and that within hearing of tho
gravo there had boon established one
of tho largest marble works in the
world. Tho oak in the forest was be
ing turned into furniture in Atlanta.
He said that a burial might bo made
to-day in Piekons county and ovory
article requisite for a liner funeral
than tho one ho attended could' be
supplied from a Georgia factory
and made of Georgia raw material.
Later, at a banquet in Boston, speak
ing again of Georgia progress, he said
that his rotund partner, Evan Howoll,
had three pairs of pants with him and
several more at home, whereas when
he returned from tho war ho had no
broeehes at all. All this was to show
how Goorgia was progressing.
Ono of the chief est factors in Geor
gia's progress is the patronage of home
industries by Georgia people. Any
thing made in Atlanta is good enough
for Atlanta people. In fact, tho people
of Georgia uro growing to think that
what is made in Georgia is just a little
better than goods from elsewhere.?

?of diseases follows
bad blood and inac

knows when hia
blood is impure and
liver sluggish; pim

you how to fight it*
Begin in time. Plenty
of fresh air, exeroise,

out of danger. The

the blood and renders

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN. |
The Condition of Crops in all Sections
of i he Stale.
The following is the woather crop re
port for the week ending Sopt. 25th.
No rain has been roported from any
Beotion of the State during tho na: t
work, except 0.36* at Klngstroe. The
sky has been nearly cloudiest-, allowing
tho Bun to dry up the ground. The
temperaturo has averaged unusually
high, showing in tho middle bolt a
gain of 47 dogrees over tho normal, air
average of nearly 7 degrees a day.
Piedmont Region?Cotton is opening
rapidly and ploktng progressing witli
a rush. Some soctions report cotton
opening prematurely and ahead of the
pickers. The Beed from tho coming
week's picking will probably be the
best for next yearjf* crop. Ginning has
nnmmenced in some places and cotton
falls to third itsolf. Where the ground
was highly manured the staple is
strong, but tho lint from unnumured
fields seom immaturo. Tho Or?u will
undoubtedly bo bolow former ?sti
mates. In fact, Audoi Jn county
clulms thut it will bo tho shortest ero^
since 1881, which was below ono-halr
crop. Labor is abundant at 40 cents a
hundred for picking. Sorghum is
watory and tho juico makos but little
syrup. A largo quantity of hay is be
ing made. Poas in Union county
Iravo lately mado a vigorous growth ;
the vines aro large with a heavy crop
of well filled p?ds.
Middlo Bolt?T?o weather has favor
ed gathering of all crops and-dried tho
ground oxco|)t in lower bottoms. Cot
ton is opening very fast, many bolls
opening before being matured. Pick
ing generally progressing rapidly with
all hands at work. Three moro weeks
of good weather and cotton will bo all
opon. Some holds are open except lato
planted. Many farmers say the top
crop is lost. Labor is reportod scarce
in Aiken county. Turnips and gardens
are needing rain. Potatoes are fair.
Peas will soon bo ready to gather;
they aro improving every day and will
tr iko a lino crop in Lexington county,
but are bearing very littlo in Orange
burg. Immense crops of hay, pea vine
hay and crab grass aro being gathered
and concodod to be tho best over
g.'own. Somo sorghum is boing mado.
Coast region?Juno rice recovered
some and is sheeting and improving
nieoly. Harvest of early rice has been
pushed with all possible vigor. Somo
of tho now crop has been milled and
marketed. CoUon is opening frooly,
and picking progressing rapidly, and
will bo over soon this year. ' Along
Charleston coast, peaches, pears and
cherries aro in full bloom.
J. H. HARMON, Director.
Central Office, Columbia, S. C.
Are Yon Going to the World's P*lr?
If so, seo that your ticket readd vit?
Cincinnati and the C. H. & D. and
Monon?the acknowledged "World's
Pair Route."
Tho only lino out of Cincinnati con
necting with the E. T. V. & G. and Q.
& C. train No. 2, arriving Cincinnati
10:30 p. m. A solid train carrying
through sleepors from Jacksonville,
Savannah, Birmingham, Atlanta, Chat
tanooga, Macon and New Orleans via
E. T. V. & G., Q. & C, C. H. & D. and
Monon Route to Chicago.
You ciin stop over in Cincinnati if
your ticket reads via tho C. H. & D.
and Monon route, by depositing same
with tho Merchants' and Manufac
turers' Association, Chamber of Com
merce Building, cornor of Fourth and
Vine streots. ono block from Fountain
Square (the C. H. & D. ticket office i
in tho same building.) This enable
you to visit tho picturesque "Quoen
City " at no additional coBt, and special
efforts will bo mado to outertaiu
strangers hospitably and roasonably.
Tho universal verdict of tho travel
ing public is that the Pullman Safety
Vestibuled trains, running ovory day,
" and Sunday too," via tho C. H. & ?.
and Monon, between Cincinuati, In
dianapolis and Chicago, are without
doubt tho "finest on earth." These
trains were especially built by tho
Pullman Company for this service, and
embrace ovory improvement. Thoir
magnificent coaches, luxurious smok
ing cars, superb sleopers, observation
cars, compartment sleeping cars and
unoxcellod dining ear service, afford
" all the comforts of homo."
Loaving Cincinnati you pass through
the beautiful Miami Valley, and for
twonty-flvo miles tho double tracks run
through tho vory front door yards of
tho finest suburban homes in tho coun
try. Beyond Hamilton and up to In
dianapolis, the line is noted for its
scenic beauty.
A stop over at Indianapolis, tho capi
tal of Indiana, may bo obtained by de
positing your tickot with tho secretary
of the Commercial Club. This city is
more worthy of a visit than almost any
othor of its size in the West, and offors
tho greatest inducements to traveler
and tourist. Between Indianapolis and
Chicago tho lino traverses tho very
best agricultural and commercial ter
ritory, and tho ride is one of un
para lied comfort and beauty.
Bear in mind that tho C. H. & I),
and Monon Route trains all run via
Burnsido Crossing, from which point
the Illinois Central suburban trainswun
direct to tho Wor.d's Fair Grounds
every moment. At Englowood con
nection is mudo with tho olectric cars,
which run ovory llvo minutes to the
grounds, but wo rccommond all porsons
to go directly into tho Dearborn Sta
tion, which is located in tho heart of
tho city and from which all streot car
linos convergo, then go dlroctly by ca.
or cab to your hotel or boarding plaeo.
First locate yourself; know whore and
how you aro*to livo whilo in Chicago.
Got the locality firmly fixed in your
mind, boforo going to tho World's Fair
by any of tho numerous eonvonient
ways; tho cable cars, olectric roads
elovatod railroad, Illinois Contral R.
R., suburban trains and stoamboats af
ford ample accommodations for all pos
sible visitors, and it is but livo minutes
ride from tho businoss portion of tho
city to the grounds. Take your break
fast down town, buy your lunch at the
grounds, and take your supper down
town. If you follow these suggestions
you will save monoy. Tho facilities
for serving lunoh at tho World's Fair
Grounds are extraordinary and tho
prices are choapor than at your own
homo, but breakfast and supper should
bo takon down town, or at your board*
ing house. Tho World's Fair iH al
roady tho most astounding and stupend
ous spoctaclo over attempted by any
pooplo, and a days visit will afford
moro delight and instruction than can
possibly be obtainod in any othor way
or by the same expenditure of monoy.

A Wonderful Woman.?The other
day Mr. A. G. Wherritt, of Coving
ton, Ky., yielded to the persuasion of
his wife and took a 'ride with her in
the Ferris wheol at the world's fair.
When tho upper turn was reached
Mr. Wherritt complained of feeling
ill. Tho car was half full of people
and tho womon wero badly scared
whon tho man frantically paced tho
car iu a paroxysm of oxcitemont. Whor
i ritt jumped up on the sides of tho car
repeatedly, and his groat strength en
abled him to bend tho bars. The at
tendant and two or three other . men I
were unable to hold him, and tho mad
man was unmanageable until tho car
had ulmost reached tho landing. The
attendant was unable to shovo Mr.
Wherritt out on the landing, aud tho
-1 oassonurers looked for another terrible
struggle. Tho Kontuckian was tear
fug himself loose from the grasp of
four men when a lady in tho car un
buckled her skirt at tho back, stopped
out of it and'throw it over tho crazy
man's head, holding it there with both
hands. Aftor he was blindfold in this
fashion tho prisoner became porfoctly
quiot and was easily controlled.
Such presence of mind as tins woman
displayed has rarely been equalod any
where Her prompt action probably
savod ono or moro lives, and tho men
and women in the car were lost in ad
miration of her remarkable courage
and activity. It is to bo regrotfced
that hor namo is unknown. She is a
heroine-.?Atlunta Constitution.
Thk cotton States.?The nine
States of North Carolina, South Caro
lina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and Ten
nessee produce nearly all of tho cotton
crop, which last year alono brought
into the South from Europo $208,000,
000. Tho total deposits in savings
banks in thoso nine States, at the close
of last year, was $8,(>5.'1,?42, or about
one-eighth of tho deposits in Rhode
Island alone. Tho cotton crop of Texas
is nearly 2,000,000 bales. Tho deposits
in tho savings banks in Texas aro less
than one-hundredth part of the de
posits in Mukus Tho deposits in tho
great wheat-growing State of Minne
sota uro loss than one-eighth of those
in Now Hampshire, less than one
thirteonth of those in Connecticut, and
loss than ono-fortioth of those in Mas
sachusetts.
