been changed from 18 to 21. Those
who have already paid as of 18 will
have their money refunded by the
treasurer. This is right, as we have
always contended that to pay a tax
before the age at which you are entitled
to vote was taxation without,
representation.

Slew Orleans Exchange Wildly
Excited.
New Orleans, D(C. 4.?The day
m the cotton exchange was easily
he wildest in its history. The bu oau
of statistics of the department
if agriculture made its annual estinate
of the cotton crop, issuing
igures of 10,107,818 bales of 500
lounds gross weight.
This was extremely bullish but
ts effect was partly lost in the inlignation
felt and expressed by the
rude generally, first over the countng
of the crop in 500 pound bales
jross weight, instead of net weight
_i ? i - "
1,3 ilit7? iuwuj'8 ueen mo case in
urevious estimates, and secondly
>ver tlie delay in issuing the report
vhich was scheduled to come out
it 11 o'clock, New Orleans time,
>ut which was not received until
L2.85 p. m.
Immediately on the reading of
he figures March, the most active
position, shot up 142 points,
slightly more than $7 a bale. This
,vas an unprecedented advance,
lust before the estimate was read
March sold at 11.88; the first sale
following the estimate was at 13
sents and the next was at 13.30.
The ring was crowded 20 deep with
irokers who frantically fought to
ill their buying orders. The volume
of trading was immense. The
3ixn- of the exchange was crowded
.vith several hundred visitors from
ill parts of the south and their
iheering when they knew what the
iStimate was, added to the roar
from the ring. The gallery was
Tilled with ladies.
The delay in issuing the estimate
is well as the use of gross bales as
measure, hastened profit taking by
ongs and so great was their selling
that within a few minutes after
March bad touched 13.30 it was
selling at 12.30. The final change
for the day was 03 to 60 points on
the active positions, March losing
\t 12.36 to 12.37.
Much figuring was done after the
stimrtte was made known and it
was shown that if the estimate had
been made in the same form as it
was made last year, that is, in bales
r>f ".00 pounds net weight, the estimate
today would have read 9,059,127,
as a full 6 per cent of the
\mount estimated today is bagging
md ties and 5 per cent of the
figures returned is equivalent to
508,391 bales. But even expressed
in gross bales, the weight of which
includes bagging and ties, today's
estimate was considerably below the
Vfarage expectation.

Santuc, Dec. 4th.?The Thanks- !
Riving aftermath was a oold wave J
Friday following, which gave mo a
solid day of regular shivering.
But we have had no "l>clow-zero !
tempcratuvos" like they are having '
in the North-west. i
There will not he many Big hogkillings
around here this year, us
along the first part of this year the
lu gs got a disease among them and
many farmers lost every one they '
had. The hog crop was greatly i
thinned.
Hunting is now generally the j
order of the day and guns can he
heard booming all around, but I i
do not think there is an abundance
of game, except partridges, which 1
hear are quite plentiful, but some
negroes are about to ruin the rabbits
by eating them up in the summer
time*
There was a Thanksgiving party
at Mr. and Mrs. \Y. M. Page's last
Thursday night, and they very
kindly extended an invititation to
the writer which was accepted, and
1 had a very pleasant time. The
party was a very nice size one, none
too big for the* house, but vouid
have broken down any h. m. t. j
buggy in the land. Refreshments :
were served, so we had both "ser- j
vice" and pleasure, and will remember
it for time.
Did you ever hear of a big shot, '
an extensive shot, or it may have
been, an expansive one. A short
while ago, Jonas Sartor, a colored ;
farmer, went out and shot into some 1
blackbirds, using a single barreled
shot gun, and killed 37 birds at
one shot. That was getting a bird
for nearly every shot in the load,
wasn't it?
1 never heard from the report I
made of the convention at Lockhart
last 5th Sunday, but my intention
was good, and 1 did not intend to
i ?* 1..
cngiiu tut/ iA;i niiui b limn;
especially the church there. But
sometimes things will be crowded
out and sometimes I may be one of
the tilings myself; in fact, I have
been crowded out at times suro
enough already. Were you ever?
The place seems to be besieged by
whisky drinking and gambling. I
never saw as much whiskey being
shipped here and drank in my life,
however much all other places are
getting better, according to newspaper
reports. As to gambling, it
| is the chief business of several negroes.
Lights are seen all about at
nights, little "patty" places are
seen in the hollows und gullies, and
old out houses are a rendezvous
when it is too cool to be out. Well, !
it seems many negroes will never '
respond to good environments, :
preaching, nor the fact that th?*y
are raised in a refined and civilized
country. |
j Last Thursday night when the
passenger train came down, it
came with the engine whistling, !
and the whistling was so long and
continuous, that many thought it
I was the fire alarm at Union. The
train stopped here '20 minutes to fix
the engine, and until the whistling
was stopped. Some men here said
it was reported that the rubber
packing blew out. I expressed
some suinrise nf. tlint. mid nt. o
steam whistle having ruhher pack- ;
ing in it. The men seemed to
think I was trying to contradict
them, but I was not. It might
have been reported, but it is ccr- |
tainly the first time that 1 ever j
heard of a steam whistle having j
gum, hemp or packing-yarn in it as
packing, and I have Been numbers,
have taken several to pieces, set ,
them up again, and blew them, but j
never saw packing. But a loeomo- '
tivc whistle may be different. Now
1 did think that it may have had a
scale, cinder or grit under the valve
stem, as I had one to catch once, j
and blew two hours; but 1 am not j
trying to contradict anyone. How- j
ever, that was something doing for
that whistle. IIky Denver.
