EVERYTHING IS LOVELY
For Good Times This Fall and Winter, So
Says the Manufactures’ Record.
Baktimore, Md., September 4. —
The Manufacturer’s Record this week
publishes six pages of special letters
from leading bankers in all parts of
the south as to the financial condi
tion and prospects of general bus
iness and farming interests. These
reports uniformly show that immedi
ately after the Baring failure, south
ern merchants and bankers pursued
a very conservative policy and at
once commended to curtail all of
their operations and make prepara
tions for a long period of monetary
stringency, if it should come. The
effect of this, while lessening the
volume of trade, has been a reduc
of indebtedness and the placing of
all business and banking interests
on a very solid financial bassis. It
also resulted in the borrowing of
less advance money by cotton plant
ers than for many years, and hence
the present crop has less indebted
ness against it than crops of former
years.
In all parts of the south farmers
are reported as less in debt than for
years, many reports saying their in
debtedness is smaller than at anv
time since the war, due, in part, to
enforced economy on account of the
monetary stringency since last fall,
and in part to tbe lar^e crops of the
last few years. The low price of
cotton in tlie spring caused planters
to pay more attention to raising
their own food supplies, and the
south will probably be less depend
ent upon other sections for corn and
wheat than ever before.
It is estimated that the grain
crops of the south this year will ag
gregate nearly one hundred million
bushels more than in 1890, and this,
added to the large yields of fruits
and vegetables, will keep at home
at least seventy-five million dollars
that last year went north and west
for food stuffs. This will fully off
set the low price of cotton, and if
cotton advanced, would be a clear
gain to the southern farming inter
ests. The yield of wheat, rice and
tobacco promise to exceed the crops
of 1890 and to add largely to the
general prosperity of the south.
Bankers in all sections of the
south report that, with business on
a solid basis, with less indebtedness
on the part farmers and merchants
than for many years, and with good
crops assured, the prospects for fall
and winter have never been more
favorable. A period of great activ
ity in solid, substantial develop
ment is universally predicted.

Emma’s Lucky Overalls.
Miss Emma Yargill is quite the
prettiest girl living on Wood street
in old Kansas City, Kansas. Her
admirers, most of whom work at Ar
mour’s, Fowler’s, or Dodd’s, are to
be counted by the score. Miss
Emma is full of pluck and so tasty
in her dress, though it be simple
calico or sateen, as to completely
knock the shine off of all the rest of
the girls around, although the latter
may be attired in more costly rai
ment.
Miss Yargill's father is dead, and
her mother recently became an inva
lid, so the young lady, finding the
home treasury slowly draining down
to nothing, resolved to refill it from
the fruits of her own industry. Her
resolve was backed up by a decid
edly sensational plan of campaign
in search of riches. She would take
a man’s part in the world, and she
would don man’s clothing an draw a
man’s salary.
Miss Yargill came to these con
clusions Sunday, and laughingly
told one of young male friends of
her intention. The matter passed
off as a joke. Monday morning, how
ever, a handsome and decidedly
shapely person in a new suit of
“ducking” passed along West Sixth
street in the direction of Dodd’s
packing house. It was Miss Emma
ancl sire was in searcli of a job.
Undoubtedly she would have car
ried out her determination of apply
ing for work but for the fact of run
ning up face to face with the “very
best” one of all her numerous male
friends. Her cropped hair and male
attire did not fool him a bit, and he
just stopped her then and there with
the exclamation:
“Emma! Well, I’ll be durned!’’
A conversation followed between
the two. Miss Emma dwelling par
ticularly upon the financial despair
of the family pocketbook, an invalid
mother and a little brother and sis
ter not old enough to work.
The young man said something
about being tired of living alone in
the world without object or aim,
and it is declared by friends who
joined the two as they stood there
talking that Miss Emma went back
home with a tear glistening in her
eye and a happy sensation in her
heart. She promised to forever dis
card the overalls and blouse and is
soon to become the gride of the man
who interrupted her in her search
for a man’s job at man’s wages.

Murray, the Outlaw, Slain.
Jacksonville, Fla., September 4.
—Harmon Murray, the notorious
colored outlaw, whe has defied the
authorities for nearly a year and ter
rorized a wide section of country,
was killed about daylight this morn
ing by Hard}’ Early, a colored Jad
of seventeen. The killing occurred
in a swamp near Archer, Fla. Mur
ray called on Early about 4 o’clock
and ordered him to go with him to
Archer, where, he said, he was go
ing to “kill some crackers” and then
leave Alachua county.
HOW EARLY KILLED HIM.
Early did not want to go, and
said he had no gun, but Murray
took Early to the latter’s brother’s
house and made him produce a
double-barreled shotgun. Both bar
rels were loaded with buckshot, and
Early put fifteen more in each bar
rel.
The two then started toward
Archer, having to pass through a
swamp on the way. When they got
into the swamp Early pretended
that he did not know the trail, and
asked Murray to lead. Murray took
the lead, and immediately Early
poured the contents of both barrels
into the back of Murray’s head, kill
ing him instantly.
THE PEOPLE REJOICE.
Early then notified the people at
Arclier, and a crowd went to tbe
spot, brought the corpse to town
and afterward sent it to GflillOS Vlllfi.
The excitement there was intense,
as several lynchings of Murray’s
confederates have occurred in that
vicinity.
Early was the hero of the hour,
and was mounted on a box, from
which he made a speech describing
the affair. He will get 81,500 in re
wards. Murray had killed seven
men within the past few mouths, and
was as fearless as he was blood
thirsty.
Luvere Enterprise: One day last
week a Crenshaw countv farmer
came to town with 11 bushels of nice
water ground meal. 86 pounds of
home made bacon, 7 pounds of but
ter and and a basket of eggs, He
got 81 per bushel for his meal, 9
cents for his meat, 20 cents for his
butter and 10 cents for his eggs. He
didn’t owe anybody and went
home with the cash in his pocket.
Do you see that man standing
yonder/ Well he’s a remarkable
fellow. He's a preacher, and a mem
ber of the legislature at the same
time, and when we were in Savan
nah he drank seven glasses of artil
lery punch, hand running, and they
never ‘-phazed” him. When he tasted
it, he just called out, “whoopee,
boys, this is the best lemonade ever
1 tasted,” and then he waded into it
like a veteran Savannah soldier. —

WHERE ARETHEY?
A Pig Eats Two Quarts of Nitro-Glycerine
and Goos Off With a Boom.
Word was received at Toledo,
Ohio, last week of a peculiar acci
dent at Cygnet, an oil town about
twenty miles south of Toledo.
L. S. Peterson was engaged in
filling a can of nitro-glycerine at his
storehouse in an isolated field a
mile and one-half north of Cygnet,
and left a can containing about two
quarts of
THE DEADLY MIXTURE EXPOSED
on the outside of the building while
he stepped inside to procure an
other can to transfer it to.
While Mr. Peterson was in the
building an old sow which was feed
ing in the field espied the glycerine
can and ate the contents. Mr. Pe
terson emerging from the building
just in time to witness the pig lick
out the bottom of the can, and with
a satisfied grunt looked around for
more.
In an, interview Mr. Peterson
says: “When I saw the empty can
my hair stiffened right up. I was
afraid eyery step the pig took would
JAR OFF THE GLYCERINE
and blow it up, along with the nitro
in the house. I got some green
corn and coaxed the pig away from
the building, my intention then be
ing to get it to the farther end of
the field and shoot it. I got the
pig away and started for tlie house
to get my gun, but when I returned
I found the pig had gone down 111 ll
hollow where there was a mud-pud
dle under a shade tree, about 100
yards back of the storage house.
There was a mule standing under
the tree. 1 saw the pig rub up
AGAINST THE MULE’S HIND L EO,
I saw the leg raise up, and then I
held my breath foi* the explosion,
which followed instantly. The con
cussion knocked me to the ground,
though I was standing 200 rods
away.
When I got up the mule, pig and
tree were gone, and in their place i
was a large hole.
't he concussion, which was heard
for miles around, also set off the
glycering in the storage house, of
which there were 500 gallons.”
Mr. Peterson sustained no injury
oth#r than a severe shaking up and
the loss of his glycerine and live
stock.
