COTTON ESTIMATES.
Predictions of an extraordinary ..cot
ton crap are being nmde freely. They
range te nearly ill,000,000 hales. Texas,
It is said, will alone produce 3,260,(MX)
bales. In our opinion, these predic
tions ure worth nothing whatever. They
originate In tho present promising con
dition of the cotton crop, but leave out
of consideration the hundred aud one
accidents and misfortunes which dur
ing tho next two months muy reduce
thut condition of tho crop very mate
rially. We may lio sure that some of
these nccldcuts or misfortunes will oc
cur. There’ wns never an absolutely
perfect cotton season, and this one can
not bo perfect, yet tho estimates to
which wo refer seem to bo bnseil on
the assumption that at tho beginning
of August the crop Is safe from all dan
ger and only waiting to be gathered.
We do not know whether these esti
mates are made with the set purpose
of prejudicing the cotton market
against the cotton grower, but If Uiey
are accepted ns true, that will inevita
bly bo the effect. Thut there is n rea-
sou why certain inen should desire to

He s*ked, where must we look for

party of classes. The Republicans
would give free coinage If they could
fasten on u* the tariff tax of fis.ooo.ooo

coinage at 16 to 1, whether it produced
parity or not. He appealed, to Popu
lists—"If in the majority, why don't

and he asked, "What use is there of
frittering wway your strength on the
Populist party?" _ .

that there would never again be a vic

I witnessed quite an Interesting little

It is a noticeable fact that Macon <s

Speaking of mosquitoes reminds the
Stroller of a few thing* that occurred at
a popular seaside retort a few day* ago.
The resort In question ha* always been
noted for the absence of mosquitoes there
except when an inland breeze is blowing,
which is not often, and then It only last*

ctune by the million and billion, luerally
taking possession of the hotel, tearing
the net* Into shreds and making sleep
out . of the question. It wa* while this
state of affairs was prevailing that Jim
Farnum, the whole-souled, Jolly, good-
natured traveling representative of the
Acme Brewing Company, stopped at the
hotel, in company with a friend named
Meeks. About 12 o’clock both gentlemen
retired in blissful Ignorance of what was
in store for them. 'Ihe other guest* also
retired, but they had passed through one
night's siege and were prepared. Abo it
ltfo o’clock Mr.'Meek* was found sitting
on the veranda en di&tbille, but laughing
nearly fit to kill himself. When asked
what was the matter ne sold the gaJll-
ntppers kept him from sleeping, and that
rather than be devoured he had come
down stairs to get away from them and
lefth I* friend to their mercy. He said
he thought It was a huge joke to let
them, prey on his friend alone, and he
giggled as he told how his friend was
Hunting them in his steep. At 2:30 the
night clerk was startled by hearing some
one coming down the stairs a half dozen
steps at a time, and a moment later Jim
Farnum appeared In the full glare of the
office light In his night shirt, with blood
not only, lu his eye, but actually dripping
from a hundred or more places about his
body. The night clerk meekly inquired
what was the matter.
Matter! matter!" cried the enraged
drummer. “Why, everything's the mat
ter! What ha* become of my friend
Meeks? Where Is he, I say?"
"I don’t know where he is," the clerk
replied.
••Just as I expected,” cried Mr. Farnum,
excitedly; "those confounded vampire*
1\5lvc devoured him, «uid I Just did awake
in time to save myself. Poor fellow! to
think he should have met such a fate!
Look here, Mr. Clerk, 1 have slept in the
Okeefeenokee swamp and cam pod out In
the Jersey ftots, but I’ll be dog-goned If 1
over strode anything like this before.
Sleep! why, It’s out of the question; and
yet I’m the finest sleeper In Georgia. I
can sleep anywhere, even on a cro»cut
-but'not here." And he walked out
the veranda to cool off. There he
met hln friend, and ail was forgiven. But
they slept no more that night, and the
first boat took them away.
The next night everybody remained up
except Mr. Tracy Baxter, who had Just
arrived, and, not mupectlng anything
wrong, retired eArly. At 2 o'clock a. m.
the whole hotel was aroused by the odor
of burning cotton, and, thinking the hotel
was on fire, a search was Instituted. The
Are was soon located In Mr.' Baxter’s
room, and he was asked to open the door.
He replied that he was too busy. Finally
a pars key was procured and the crowd
entered the room, and were greatly aston
ished at what they mr. Standing in the
middle of the bed was Mr. Baxter, with
a wet towel In hts hand, striking right
and left, while the netting over hi* bed
looked like a craxy quilt made of netting
and paper, he having endeavored to chink
up the thousand and one holes In the
netting with the New York Ileralu, Sun,
Harper’s, Century, and the Telegraph. In
the middle of the floor was the wash
bowl, filled with pocket handkerchiefs
that Mr. Baxter had put fire to to smoke
out the galllnlppers.
It was unnecessary for Mr. Baxter to
explain what he was doing, and tho crowd
Joined In to help him, but all finally gave
it up as a bad Job. They kept the blood
thirsty galllnlppers ofT him, however, till
he could dress, after which he went down
stairs and walked on the beach the re
mainder of the night. Mr. Baxter said

In Mount Vernon. Ill., In the household
of a photographer, where the family cat
with an instinct 'of maternal solicitude
rarely exhibited in animals for the
young of other species, took Into her
fold of newly born kittens a little or
phan chicken, cherishing it as one bf
her own offspring. „»
The little waif was accidentally cast
upon the world, the egg which con
tained It being hatched In an unac
countable way without the warmth <1-
ways given by the mother hen. The
little kittens and their adopted sister
thrive In peace and harmony together.
Of course, the little stranger did not
eat at the same table wlh the rest of
the family, but found Its nourishment
from the little Insects, worms and
crumbs. But they basked in the sun
shine under the same maternal guid
ance. and warmed on cold nights at the
6ame motherly breast The Btrangest
part bf all Is that when the kittens ar
rived at maturity the old cat parted
with* them without a murmur, while
nothing. It seems, can sever the ties
that bind her to the chlcken.now grown
to stately henhood.

growing in popularity as a oandldato
for the United States senate.—Macon

The Bibb statesman Is growing. The
Courier says the Calhoun people want
Bacon In the senate, and calls upon the

HUSBAND OF A SIOUX QUEEN.
A Couzln of Gen. Custer Whose Bride
Was Given Him by Red Cloud.
The Queen of the Sioux is the bride of
A white roan. Neither of them la, or has
has any rauan to be, ashamed of It. Red
Cloud, without question the greatest In
dian chief of this generation, gave her
away at the altar on the Sioux*reserva
tion. The Sioux queen’s husband, Charles
P. Jordan, la brother of Lleut.-OoL Jor
dan, of the United 8tates army, and a
cousin of Gen. Custer, and Is one of the
most tried representatives of the govern
ment In the Indian country. He bears the
honor of being the only while man who
was ever elected a member of the Sioux
council.
In their days of power, before hardly
a single white face had been seen west
of the Missouri river, the Dakotas (Sioux)
were one nation, ruled by one cbkrf. The
last of this autocratic dynasty was Old
•moke, who died tn XS59. after seeing his
people pushed westward and his power
curtailed. Although the husband of more
than one squaw, he left but one child, a
tiny girl, who could hardly coo -when Old
Smoke got ready to float upward to the
happy hunting grounds. When dying he
took her in his arms and named her the
Beautiful Woman, and so she has 4nce
been known. The Beautiful Woman was
a princess. She did no work, but learned
of missionaries, scorned dog meat, nnd
kept her nails trimmed and her glorious
black hair patted and combed. She grew
to womanhood high spirited, proud and
capricious—an ideal squaw. But- as no
ideal chief came to woo her, she scorned
an alUanoe with any common member of
the tribe.
Young Jordan, a toll, bright-eyed fellow
of good edoratlon and address, come West
as clerk to the Indian agent at Pine
Ridge. He fell tn love with the prince**,
and hie love was reciprocated by the
Sioux Indian. And so they were married
by a priest in stole and surplice and with
all the formalities of the white man’s laws
and customs. The big Sioux chiefs came
from miles around to attend the wed
ding. the army officer* from the neigh
boring forts Jingled Jheir spurs tn tb
old Virginia *eel which followed the bene
diction, and the pretty Sioux queen has
since been plain Mrs. Jordan. A hew
of black-eyed children Ness the alliance.
Charles f. Jordan, the Bloux quern's bus-
bund, has lived on the frontier for many
all wfppe&ranoes to* rapidly distancing
all bis competitors. His brilliant In
tellect, his lofty patriotism And his
wise statesmanship pecularly fit him
for the position, and Georgia will re
flect honor and crddlt on herself by
electing him to the United States sen
ate.—Thomaston Times.
Calhoun county Democrats have a
predilection for Bacon and If given a
chance to vote on the question will In
struct her representative to vote for
him for United States senator. Will
the Democratic executive committee
give them -the opportunity?—Calhoun
County Courier.

The rushlight, or rush candle, which ha«
been the "poor man's light" for many
