“ Oncst upon a time when they
had a big distracted meetin’ goin’
on down there at old Pilgrim’s
Pest there was a mighty revive-
ment in the church, and a gracious
outpourin’ for* all, Some fifteen
or twenty come out from the lost
and ruint world and got over on
the right side. And old man
Simps Corley was in amongst the
rest.
« Now, up to that time, as every
body knows, if you had burnt the
woods and sifted the ashes in the
hopes of findin’ a more reckless
and wickeder man than Simps
Corley—-well, Rufus, the thing
jest simply couldn’t be did. But
henceforwards after that the old
man was way yonder different,
and I do raley think *he was tryin’
his levelest to walk upright and
faithful in the ten commandments
to the best of his ability.

“ Hit was along
lowin’ spring and summer when
a tremendius long and hot diy
drought swept over the country.
All the rain signs failed and failed
and failed—the crops looked like
they would naturally take fire and
burn up—and from general appear-
ments it seems as if the country
was on the highway to the pluper
fect ruination.
“ At that time old man Simps
was livin’ over there on the Ridge,
farmin’ it on that thin red land,
and the dry drought was bearin’
down particlar hard on him. Up
to then, from what he told me.with
his own mouth, the old man never
had used his religion any to speak
of—that is to say, Rufus, he was
keep in’ it as somethin’ that would
do to die by, but he never had
made it count for anything in this
life so fur as he could recollect.
And now, in that terrible pusheney,
he lowed he mought as well to see
if he couldn’t put it to some good
use. So, consequentially, he put
in and went to pratin’ for rain,
and he kept it up for two days
and nights hand runnin,’ off and
on. Then jest before daybreak
the second night a storm riz and
passed over the Ridge. But it
fetched more wind than water—
only a light sprinklin’ of rain and
a whole passle of wind. Bless
gracious, it blowed down the old
man’s ginhouse and blowed two
miles of his fences down. It
blowed his com down to a dead
level with the earth, and all but
took the roof offen the dwellin’
house over his head.
“ Next mornin’ old man Simps
come by our bouse after Andrew
Jim to go and help him put up
the fences and save the scatterin’
remains of his crop. He up and
told us all about the prayer meet-
in’s he had helt and the storm
which riz the night before.
“ * Reckon there must of been a
mistake somewheres along the line,
Aunt Nancy,’ says he, lookin’ pow
erful bad puzzled and pestered
about it. ‘Dad-blame the luck, I
want prayin’ for wind; I was
prayin’ for water.’ ”—Rufus San-
ernor.

CONVICT LEASE SYSTEM.
The convict leases will expire
in April 1899, and the coming
legislature will probably be called
upon to pass some measure for the
disposition of them. Public senti
ment has crystalized against the
lease system and it must go. The
only and reasonable thing to do is
to pass some law by which they
can profitably work the public
roads. Any measure that does
less than this will receive the just
condemnation of the people. Good
roads must come as The Citizen
has stated many a time and oft.
The convict lease system must go
as The Citizen has also said be

There are times when I would barter
All I have of gold and land,
When I’ve chanced to catch a tartar
Underneath my trouser band,
When the cramps my breath would
throttle—
Yes, I’d gladly give my pelf
For the dear old ginger bottle
On the upper pantry shelf.
When I’ve gorged on watermelon,
Or absorbed an apple green,
And my anguish swiftly swellin’
Makes me feel uncommon mean,
And my face begins to mottle
Till I wouldn’t know myself—
Then I bellow for the bottle
On the upper pantry shelf.

TEN CENT COTTON.
A New York commercial paper
predicts ten-cent cotton, and tend
ing upward. Many cotton mills
North and South are now shut
down for want of cotton.. Some
North Carolina mills have lately
gone to the northern markets for
cotton to fill their orders. The
outlook is certainly for higher
prices.
Egypt’s cotton yield, while fine,
cannot touch our control of the
quanity of the ordinary cotton.
Her crop is comparatively small,
limited almost to the Nile Valley.
India shows no surplus this year,
even if it grows enough to supply
its own mills. Famine and sub
divisions of land have curtailed, if
anything* the crop. Peru is also
limited in its production. There
fore, we practically control the
cotton crop of the world, and it is
time to take advantage of the self-
organized monopoly.
