NEWS FROM WORTH, Our Correspondent Writes an In teresting and Newsy Letter. Special Correapowlonceof the IIkkai.d. ISABELLA, Jut)’ 15, 1892. —Plenty of rain over here, but few crops are damaged to an'y appreciable extent. There is a great deal of gross, but crops were so clean before the rain came, and have been worked so olosely since that the grass is not do ing muoh damage. Owing to the ex cessive rains, ootton is shedding slightly, and is injured a little by sand; but, on the whole, orops are in a good condition, and corn, rice, cane and potatoes are exceptionally good. The acreage in all four of these crops is muoh larger in this county tills year than last. —Mr. Withers, a young South Caro linian, who has been working for Mr. Milo Bull for some time past, was taken with congestion of the brain on Friday last, and died Monday night. His remains were taken to his former home for interment. —The melon shipments from this county are about over, but the ship ments of fruit and grapes still con tinue, and will probably last until the latter part of August. Considerable shipments are being made from Ty Ty. Sumner, Poulan and Sylvester, and the returns will ..bring considerable cash into Worth oounty pookets. —Preparations are being made by the Baptist membership for a series of protracted meetings, to begin to-mor row night and tooontinue through a portion of next week. —The people of Worth propose to enjoy themselves this week. A bar becue at Acree Saturday, and the Ag ricultural Association’s annual melon pionic at Poulan to-morrow, are pro posed to be also supplemented by a barbecue at the end of Alford & Sloan’s tram-road at a very early day. Added to this, yearly meetings will begin at two Primitive Baptist churches, and protracted meetings nt two missionary churches inthisoounty to-morrow. —Politics are humming. The sorry People’s Party lias been having every thing their own way. They met at Poulan, elected an executive commit tee, and appointed delegates to a con vention to nominate a candidate for Congress. Since then they have been busy holding called meetings and or ganizlng all over the oounty. They say they will have candidates out for every county office from bailiff to Or dinary. And that will be the last of them. Every man will want an office, and when the offices fail to go round, there will be such a howl, oh, my countrymen, as has not been heard in Wprth in a long time. Heretofore the party has been so insignificant in this county, consisting mainly of a lot of cranks and disgruntled office-seekers, tjmt the Democrats have paid little at tention to it, but now that it is grow ing so fast, the Democrats, although they will out vote it four to one, are becoming aroused, and propose to carry the fight intp the enemy’s camp, The Executive Committee, as shown by the report of the meeting here Tuesday, has been purged, county and district oainpafgn clubs will be organ ized, and, now that the rook-ribbeds are thoroughly at work, the crazy People’s Party will be buried under such storm of ballots this fall that it will never be resurrected. —At a Third' Party rally near here last week, resolutions were passed stating that they proposed to go to work at once and 'eleot the men to office that they wanted to go there, will he, nil he, tell them what they wanted done, and what laws they wanted passed, and if they failed to do exactly as they were told to do, they, the officeholders, were to be summarily beheaded! Whether they were to be beheaded literally or figuratively, was not stated. In the face of these facts, it is Btrange that so many of these proselytes are wanting office. To be elected to office whether a man wants it or not, and then be compelled to pass a law to suit every crank in the country, and, in event of failure, to be dragged up to a battling-block and have his head sawed off with a dull case knife, is a prospect not. very en tertaining to most men. But it is to be fondly*hoped that they are going to elect Dr. Pickett on this understand, ing. —While some boys were in bathing in Little oreek, near Sylvester, one day this week, one of them very nar rowly escaped drowning. He could not. swim, and, getting beyond his depth, sank twice before bis compan ions pulled him out. They say his mouth was so full of snuff the water couldn’t get in. —Mrs. J. T. Cochran has been quite sick for several days past. —A four-mule-wagon belonging to the Conolly Bros, below Sylvester, with the driver and eight barrels of crude turpentine, fell through the bridge across Ocblockonee creek on Wednesday last. Although the water was pretty deep, and the bridge of medium height, the wagon and driver escaped injury, and only one of the mules was slightly hurt. H. IBDSEHI A Fly That Kills Horses. All white men who visit regions in Africa infested by the tsetse fly have much to say ubout !t> There is now evidence that the tsetse is moving grad ually to more northern regions, and the cause is supposed to be that South Africa is depleted of its large game, much of which is moving northward to get away from hunters,'and the tsetse fly is going with it. The insect is only a little larger than the ordinary house fly, and it resembles the honey bee. Its sting is hardly as annoying as that of the mosquito, but near the base of the proboscis is a little bag which contains its poison. It lives on the blood of animals, and only a few species are fatally affected by its bite. Cattlo, horses and dogs, however, can- hot live when bitten by the tsetse fly. Natives who herd cattle and travelers who depend on horses and oxen must avoid the fly regions or lose their stock. For human beings its bite has no serious consequences.—Pittsburg Dispatch.

A Perfectly Healthy People. The Parsees are son worshipers, and it is an interesting sight to see throngs of them on the shore of the bay as the sun rises, apparently from the sea, per forming the simple rites of their religion, the fluttering robes showing their fine figures to the best advantage as the day begins. Their religious practices are simple in the extreme, consisting main ly in strict dietary rules and personal cleanliness. The rigid observance of sanitary laws produces the natural result of perfect lealtli among the adults, large families of active, healthy children and immense numbers of old men, gray bearded, white haired, but erect and princely in their gait and attitude, despite the naturally enervating character of the tropical climate. — Cor. Washington 8tar. Limestone Cuvea In llnrmnh. The qncstion has been raised whether the numerous limestone caves in British Burma!) have been explored for archae ological remains. The Rev. F. Mason pointed out the probability of an exam ination of the stalagmite floors of these caves yielding important archieological discoveries in 1873. Many of the caves were known to have been UBed by the Buddhists of former generations, as Buddhist idols were found in them, and it is probable they were inhabited by n in the early time.—Philadelphia Ledger. ' The Pleasures of Being a Barber. Barbering has been a very genteel art, and it might be fine yet. The fee is so small there is no excuse for doing a credit business, and there is no bore of bookkeeping. The chink drops in fast, and “Next!” is a merry cry. And what a luxury it is to have a man fumble your face and head. The bar ber’s nimble, strong fingers rouses your somnolent wits. It is delicious to be kneaded, combed, brushed, bathed, cur ried, spruced up.—National Barber. Ex-President White's Collection. .It is not generally known, we think, that Andrew D. White, formerly presi dent of Cornell university, has a remark able collection of -posters, including a number of the original incendiary pla cards and bills put up in the streets of PariB during the frightful period of the French revolution.—Chicago News. TWO POLICEMEN FIGHT DBP(JTV MARSHAL M'LAHTV AND I'OLVCRMAN BARRON HAVE A SUNDAY MORN. ING SCRAP. Tnlk About tho Trade et Witter work* Force. I the From Monday’* Kvknimi Hkha).i>. The summer fights are still on. j Anil there was a lively little scrap between two well-known conservators of the peace yesterday morning about the time the first hells were ringing for the assembling of God’s people for their usunl Sabbath day devotions, i Tlie principals were Deputy Mar shal W. A. MoT.arty and Policeman James Barron. The affair grew out of a discussion that arose with reference to a report tlmt Alderman CaBBidy had scooped the other merchants of the city in ob taining the trade of the force of hands employed on the oity waterworks. Tim meeting place was the store of Mr. L. S. Plonsky. Mr. Plonsky had been doing some klckingabout the ad vantage which it had been reported Mr. CaBsidy had been given over other merchants, thereby giving him the lion’s Bhnre of the trade of the water works force. Officer Kemp was there and was rather guying Mr. Plonsky. Mr. Kemp got Mr. Plonsky warmed up good, and walked off up the street, leaving Offi cer Barron and Mr. Plonsky talking over the subject. Directly Deputy Marshal MoLarty came up, and joined in the disonssion. Barron was rather disposed to defend Mr. Cassidy against wliat appeared to him to be an unjust reflection. But few words passed be tween Barron and MoLarty before Mo- Larty called Barron a liar, and was promptly struok in the face. The two conservators of the peace of the oity olinohed In regular oatch-as-oatob-oan style, and when the two went down MoLarty landed on top. Friends interfered and got the bel ligerent offloials apart before either had been hurt muoh, and In a few minutes the oombatants were talking and laughing over the affair, as good friends as ever before. They were both thoroughly sorry that they had let their tempers rise, and eaoh assured the other that all was forgiven and that the affair was at an end. His Honor, Mayor Gilbert, will prob ably have them prefer charges against eaoh other for quarreling and fight ing, and the Police Commissioners will perhaps arraign them. Cassidy other merchants were seen by the reporter, and they all oomplatned. more or less, that Sibley and Neun- dorfer, the two gang bosses, had been throwing what trade they oould to Mr. Cassidy. None of them intimated that there had been any orookedness or jobbery upon the part of either Mr. Cassidy or the overseers, but they all objected to the overseers giving ordero to seoure the debts oontraoted by any of the laborers on the waterworks, and thought that if this system should be enrried on it would give Mr. Cassidy a decided advantage. Mayor Gilbert was seen, and he said that he had instructed the overseers to give no more orders; that the hands would rcoelve their money every Sat urday night according to the amounts appearing by the oortlfled pay roll to be due them, and that the merchants would all be on an equality, so far as the trade of the waterworks foroe is concerned. The gossips took up the matter out of wliioh the MoLarty-Barron fight originated, and the subject was the talk of the town this morning. But it was all “Muoh ado about nothing.” AN EXPLANATION Prow Our Oorrrapoudrul nt lanbrlln- A Famous Sculptor of Italy* Professor Pio Fed! died at the age of seventy-six. He suffered for several years from paralysis. He was one of the best modern sculptors of Italy, an imitator of Canova and a follower of the Greek school. Some of his best statues are at the Loggia del Arcagno, at the Uffizi and the Old Palace. One of his “Christs” adorns the upper part of the Seals Santa at Rome. From every part of Italy telegramB of sympathy have arrived. His funeral was very grand. All those who belong to tho Academy of Art and all the notabilities of the town followed hts body; innumerable garlands and bouquets covered the funeral car.—Flor ence Cor. Galignani Messenger. Harvard Examinations. Harvard university is spreading her net over a very wide extent of territory this year. It is announced that examina tions for admission to that institution are to he held simultaneously in no less than twenty-five places, including Eng land, Germany and Japan. It looks as if Harvard wanted the earth and was in a fair wav to net a large section of it HOW ABOUT THAT SCOOP?—A TALK WITH ALDERMAN CASSIDY. The Herald sought Alderman Cas sidy this morning to give hijn the ben efit of any statement he might want to make with referenoe to his reported scoop of the trade of the waterworks gang. “How about this rumor that you have been using your offiolal position to prooure the trade of the waterworks gang to the exolusion of the other mer chants of the oity, Mr. Cassidy?” asked the scribe. “Well, sir, it is all due to a little petty jealousy, and I am perfeotly willing to have the whole thing inves tigated and a clean showing made.” “How muoh money did you get out of the waterworks gang Saturday even ing?” “Not over thirty-five or forty dol lars.” “Why, it has been reported that you gobbled up about three hundred dol lars, shutting out all the other mer chants, and that you stood in with Sib ley and Neundorfer, the two gang bosses, to do it.” “Yes, I know it has,” said Mr. Cas sidy, and just to show you how little truth there is in it I need only state that the pay roil amounted to only little over two hundred dollars, and my trade from the hands employed on the waterworks last week didn’t amount to more than thirty-five or forty dollars.” “Did you manage in any way to get this through the gang bosses?” “No. The Negroes would come to me and want credit. Some of them are my regular oustomers, and I let them have what they wanted; but there were others whom I would not credit, and some of these got Sibley and Neundorfer to stand'for them and give orders to me so they could get something to eat. Here are the or ders,” and, turning to bis desk, Mr. Cassidy produced the orders of Sibley and Neundorfer. Sibley’s amounted to $5.45, and Neundorfer’s to $8.05. “And is that all there is in the re ported* sooop you have made?” asked the scribe. “Yes; that’s ail there is of it. My saleB to other Negroes employed On the waterworks amounted to $37.85, and on this I have no securiety whatever. Most of the Negroes are regular cus tomers, and I sold them goods Satur day night to be paid for after they draw their pay next Saturday night, and have to take the same ohances that any other merchant must take to col lect it." WHAT SOME OTHERS SAY. The Hebald prints the news, and makes it a rule to get both sides of everything it prints, wherever it possible to do so. After seeing Mr. Editor Albany Hskald: I see you misunderstood my use of tiie word “legalize,” in the latter part of my report of the meeting here last Tuesday. Now, tho only way tho no tion of the mass meeting of the 8th of Juneonn be “legalized” is by holding Democratic mass meeting, and either affirmingor rejecting the aotlon of the former meeting. Please give me space for a word of explanation. Shortly after the meet ing of the Distrlot Exeoutive Commit tee in Albany, a mass meeting was called by the County Exeoutive Com mittee of this oounty to seleot dele gates to the State convention and transaot other business. At this meet ing a resolution was unanimously passed oalling for a primary to elect delegates to the Congressional conven tion. A short while afterwards a meeting was oalled to eleot an exeoutive com mittee for the ensuing year. To the surprise of the Democrats, who are very slow about attending their party mass meetings, and were waiting for the primary on July 80tb, the Third Party men came in and stocked the meeting, paoked the exeoutiveoommit- tee, refused to indorse Northen be cause he told the truth on Post, re fused to Indorse either the Democratic platform or candidates, and ran things generally to suit themselves. The best the Demoorats present oould do was to temporize, as muoh as possible, and prevent matters from being a great deal worse than they' were. This aroused the Democrats of the oounty, who met last Tuesday, with the re sults reported yesterday. Remember, this last was only a meeting of the exeoutive committee, without the power of a mass meeting, and there fore could not resoind the aotion of the meeting of June 8tb, but a peti tion will be presented, and a meeting ordered in a few days, and this aotion jvill be brought up for consideration. Whether it will be revoked', and an other delegation appointed, or the same delegation sent, instructed or un- instruoted, I cannot say, but the ao tion of the June meeting will be “legalized” so that its delegates wiil be received in the Congressional con vention, and I feel safe In saying that if tlie wishes of a majority of the Demoorats of the oounty is expressed, the delegates will be sent uninstruoted. H. A LITTLE CIIBL’S REBUKE. A Wholesome Lecture From u AIRaar Little CUrl. To the Editor of the Albany Hkkald. My grand parents patronize your paper and I like it very much, espec ially the issue of the 18th inst. I was very much pleased with the plans of our new Court House, and feel quite sure they would get it if they would only let the women vote for it. Also I know we would have Mr. Cleveland for our next President. But on fur ther investigation I found a piece en titled “Woman in Proverbs," which, when I read, I was very sorry to know that a journalist should throw such in sinuatlons on the good women of Air bany. But never mind. The women are coming to the front every day, and the men will soon find out that they can’t do without them. I am but little girl now, but I hope some day will be a woman, and I don’t want to live in a country where the men have so little respect for the females as to throw their sarcastic remarks at them, If the men nowadays have suob little confidence in the women’s word why should they seek their company? The reason why you see so many single men of marriageable age is because they are waiting to find a girl that will support them. One of Albany’s Little Girls.

A <3rcnl Democratic ltnr at Nn Lucid Comparison of Iho Eaaentlut Points of tho Religions That Have for Thslr Foundations tho ntblo and tho Koran—Islnm Damocraoy. M. Minuter could not know tho east any better than he does if he had been born there, and we copy from his new volume, "Souvenirs du Monde Mussul man,” a few novel views and considera tions addressed especially to statesmen and thinkers; The greater portion of the precepts of the Koran have u meaning which es capes us, because that weaning is at variance with our ideas and our man ners, and this is what gives rise to po litical errors of an incalculable reach. The Mussulmans do not fail to return the attacks that are made upon them. (Conceding to us the advantage in a ma terial und scientific point of view, they hold that the riches and Icarntng of the few do not uiuke the happiness of the many, and they cluim superiority for their moral and social constitution. Essentially democratic in its origin, Islam has a sumptuary law wbiclt puts tax of 2per cent, upon the jewels of women and upon all objeotsof luxury. This money has served for centuries to assist poor tradesmen and to buy them tools. Thanks to the prohibition of wine and spirits, the social problem is solved for them. On seeing the dangers that hover over our civilization, tlie Mussulmans compare it to the smoking remains of a burned tent. They think that if it should disappear in tlie Humes of anarchy for want of an organio prin- siple it would be incapable of rising again from its ashes, while their faith maintains order in everything, the con dition sine qua non of progress, “Yon accuse us," they say, “of being depraved. Are you less so, yon who keep up perpetual orgies in yonr great cities, expose your half clad wives and daughters at balls atid feasts, and allow them to be whirled around in the arms of anybody and everybody? Yon re proach ne for our ignorance. In order to pass through life with honor your in struction Is not so good as ours. Thanks to the proverbs and the rules of wisdom that are taught to our children, they conduot themselves like little men. With yon the men, and even the learned, condnct themselves like little children. You charge out functionaries with venality. Who contributes to its establishment if it is not the vulgar herd of traders of every class that Enrope has soattered ail over the east? Yon cry down onr judiciary. Wetoohavearighttoaoonieyonrs. Yon charge na with fatalism. Fatalists we are, just like your learned men and yonr philosophers, who base their calculations npon the immutability of natnral laws. Resigned in the face of plagues, cata clysms and death, we say ‘It was writ ten,' For the rest ws follow the words of the prophet “One day the prophet asked an Arab visitor what he had done with his camel. The Arab replied, ‘1 have left him at thy gate.' ‘Host thou tied him?* inquired the prophet 'No, I have left him to the care of God.' 'Thon hast done wrong,' said Mohammed. ‘Thou shonldat first have tied him, and then have recom mended him to God,' "The Christian doctrines of predesti nation and of grace are more depressing than onr fatalism. Yonr ignorance oi' Islam makes you confound Mussulman slavery with anoient slavery and that whioh existed until recently in Rnssla and in Brazil. With the Mussulmans there are no slaves. All are brothers, not in the Platonio sense of {the Bible, but actually, having the same laws and the samo positive duties according to the terms of the Koran, Unlike Chris tianity, Islam has never treated as sal able things, transmissible with the land, troope of men who professed the com mon faith, os was done with the serfs of the Middle Ages, the moujiks of Russia, and the negroes of yonr colonies. Prisoners of war are the only slaves that It recognizes, but their children are born bee, and they -themselves can become so by embracing Islam. It is the custom from time immemo rial in captain countries for parents to part with their children for money, in order to ward off poverty and open up to themselves a career of fortnne. By virtue of Mussulman equality this ca reer is limitless in the east. How man; slaves have become pashas, general and ministers? Almost all the sultans have been the sons of slaves. The blaok slaves taken from central Africa find in Egypt and in Turkey a fate incompar ably superior to that of tho slaves of yonr colonies. Slavery iai for savages tbs first step toward civilization. If tbeir recruiting and their transportation give rise to well founded protests, the fault is not with Islam. Neither the Bible nor the Koran is responsible for •buses. “The Mussulmans proclaim the supe riority of their Allah; but they acknowl edge Moaes as a prophet and Jesus as Ronh Allah, the soul of God. Their veneration for Jesus extends to the mother. The immaculate conception, introduced intp Catholicism by Pius IX, has beta for twelve centuries a Mussul man belief. "To the extreme simplicity of the dogma must be added the positive enjoy ments which the paradise of Mohammed opposes to the platonio joys of the Christian paradise, in order to compre hend the * resistance of Islam to all at tempts at conversion. ’Christianity is a menace, Islamism a promise,’ said Napoleon 1, and his opinion is worthy of meditation.”—Paris Figaro^ Special Corresponilencoof tlie Herald: Nashville, Qa., July 1 Col.
