Recognising the progress being made ia agriculture and horticulture io the /Cotton States, and realizing the demand for orthodox, up-to-date literature upon these, as veil as other departments of rural industry, it seems that an invit? ing'field lies open for the advent of an agricultural journal demoted to the advancement of the Interests of those engaged io "the most health fal, most useful, and moat noble employment of mao."

ILY LOSING MONEY Royalty Decreases The latest official figures as to the phosphate industry io the state seems to indicate that the stale wi li lose a very large source of revenue com? pared to what it formerly did. -The recent failure of Mr. C. C. Pickoey io Charleston, who was an extensive miner, has farther added to the serioasress of the situation. In Beaufort aod Port Royal there is now oi?ly one company operatiog-the Beaufort-a circumstance arising from the failure. Coosaw is oot of it aod will not resume ooless the price of "rock" improves, and there does not seem to be any immediate prospect for that desirable condition. For the year, \ daring which the ^reat eyeioc? practically destroyed the phosphate business, the state re? ceived io royalty $295,000. This tv as wheo tte royalty was a dollar a ton. Io order to assist the companies to recover, the state reduced the royal ty oolil now it is only twenty-five cents. At that rate the royalty receiv? ed from January to August 31, was inly $33.860 50. Some of this ha? already been paid in, but zouch of it ?8 still due. With the prospect of companies ?oing out of business, the indications ?re that the royalty will be still Farther reduced. This will be a serious blow to the treasory receipts, and may canse a jreatPT levy to be made in order to coeet the deficiency. The, taxpayers will probably in struct the legislature to do all in its power to revive the industry. What to do about it is almost as seri?os a problem ?8 the dispensary -Colum? bia Register. Take JOHNSON'S CHILL & FEVER rr nc mfc Sir Edwin Arnold, the English poet ind journalist, long ago became so ?aturated with tbe spirit of Oriental philosophy aod morals that the an couoeeuient of bis marriage to a Japanese woman will cau?e little or oo surprise. Asiatic life, literature and religion bav? exerted a powerful in? fluence upon Mr. Arnold's thought and work, and that he should seek a bride in Japan is entirely io keeping with bis repeatedly expressed admiration for the women of that country His per? formance will doubtless cause some? thing of a sensation in the literary jireles of London, aod may perhaps re? vive the report that bc had embraced the Buddbir.io faith, but the world at large long sioce discovered that it has DO right to be astonished at anything that Sir Edwin migut say or do. THE EXODUS IS OVER. But While it Lasted 4,000 People Left Montgomery. Mootgamery, Ala , Oct. 20 -The officia! bulletin issued by the board of health to-day at 1 o'clock . names five cases of yellow fever for the past 24 hours ano! one death The five oases are: R. M.

Probably 4.000 pen?os weot away Sunday and Monday, by traios aod private convey? ance. A special provided oo the Louis? ville aod Nashville road last night did oot carry 100 people, showing that the pan io was over. There was a petition filed with Mayor Clisby to-jay from a large number of leading citizens asking that ao expert of national reputation be brought here to determine the cbaraoter of the fever. Very maoy people doubt whether the prevailing Siokne.'s ic yellow fever ; among them are a oonnber of physicians, some of whom hav3 been through yellow fever epidemics. The board of health con? curred with the mayor io granting this petitioo and Surgeon General Wyman was asked for an expert. Maoy old stagers io the yellow fever epidemic here 25 years ago and io other ciiiet say emphatically that this is oot yellow fever. The prevailing sickness bsa beeo here since early in September, aod yet tbe official record of white interments at the cemetery for September aod October to date are oo greater thao for the same period last year.

A LITTLE SUFFERER Face, Hands and Arms Covered With Scrofulous Humors-How a Cure Was Effected. "When five years old my little boy had scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It was worst on his chin, although the sores on his cheeks and hands were very bad. It appeared in the form of red pimples which would fester, break open and run and then scab over. After disappearing they would break out again. They caused intense itching and the little sufferer had to be watched continually to keep him from scratching the sores. "We became greatly alarmed at his condition. My wife's mother had had scrofula and the only medicine which had helpd her was Hood's Sarsaparilla. We decided to give it to our boy and we noted au improve? ment in his case very soon. After giving him four bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla the humor had all been driven out of his blood and it has never since returned." WILLIAM BABTZ, 416 South Williams St., South Bend, Indiana.
