men it is the only day that they can

The brick mason's have been at
work for three or tour days on on e of

An Accommodating State-
From the (Jreen ville (S. C.j News.
Georgia is the most accommodating
state in the union. The \V. C. T. U.
convention sat in Atlanta and was in.
troduced to Ind'an Spring, the waters
of which are declared to be a cure for
the liquor habit. It is proposed to
b.nld a grand inebriate asylum there.
No doubt when the distillers’ national
convemion meets at Atlanta it will be
invited to establish an institution at
some other point in Georgia where
the atmosphere, water or something is
guaranteed to produce eternal thirst.
But if Indian Spring has the q ualities
attributed to it, we suggest that the
cap-tol be removed to that point, and
the annual sittings of the legislature
held there.
The Lymph Analyzed.
Vienna, Nov. 24.—In the presence
ot a number of medical men, among
whom was a representative of the
London Lancet, Dr. Joile to.day an
alyzed Prot. Koch’s curatiye lymph.
The doctor lound no trace ol any me
tallic substance or cynic compounds,
nor were ptomanies, products ot the
action ol bacilli and alkaloids, detect
ed by the usual tests. Only the abun
dant presence of proteld substances
partly belonging to the class of pep-
touess and partly tox albumens and
enzyms, or non-organized ferments,
could be diagnosed.
Why Ho Indulged.
From tin Boston llt-ralil.
Temperance Preacher (to confirmed
inebriate) —
Tell 111c now, why you drink urn?
Inebriate—Because I cannot cat it,
sir.
This reminds us of the soldier during
the war who got rattled in going into
a battle, and started to run.
“What are you running fori” de
manded an officer who met him in his
flight.
“Because I can't fly,” said the fel
low, as he slightly increased his speed.
An exchange very truthfully says:
It is a sad day in the life of a young
man when he decides that there is an
easier way to make money and goods
than by honest working for them. It
is just such decisions as that that AMs
the jails and workhouses and keeps the
ranks ot the great army of deadbeats
full to overflowing. It is just such de
cisions that make a young man pull
his hat over his eyes and dodge into a
doorway or scoot across the street for
fear of meeting a man to whom lie
owes an honest debt, which he has de
liberately decided never to pay.
The legislature is knuckling down lo
their work. Put they’re bound to
hold a summer session all the
same.
Citton Area.
Few people have an adequate idea
of the growth of the area of cotton
planting in the South. In the ten
cotton states, the area planted in
1870, was 8,008,217 acres. Ten years
later, in 1880, the area spread over
14,320,480 acres; and in 1890, the
acreage foots up over nineteen mil
lion ncres.
Here are the figures by states:
North Car -linn 1,000,917

Georgia 2,911,183

The Indians are looking for the
Messiah. This new religious craze
has caused great excitement among
them, and a rising against the whites
is seriously threatened. Old Sitting
Bull is in a bad humor, and the bucks
are putting on the war paint.
One thing the legislature should
do: it should fix a salary, say 8200
per annum,for members, and then let
them stay in session as long as they
please.

The public well
know we are not
chronic “Cost Sell

do say at COST we
mean
BUSINESS.
Owing to the dis
turbed condition of
the clothing trade
this season, we have
concluded to sacrifice
our handsome stock
of brand new clothing
in order to meet
competition of any
kind, trusting to re
gain at some, future
time the losses we
will naturally sustain
by this sacrifice sale
of clothing.
The public are cor
dially invited to call
and compare our
“PANIC” PRICES
with any other in
town before buying.
We have no fear of
the result.
