TUP FLOODS.
There seems to be no limit to the disaster
occasioned by the floods. About 100,000 peo
ple subsisting on government bounty is evi
dence enough of the disaster occasioned. The
flood is so late in the season that the crops
must be considerably diminished, some
even going so for as to say that it will cause
a short crop of 1,000,000 bales of cotton.

Special Correspondence of Tlie Constitution.
Jasper, March 24.—Farmers are hard at
work preparing for larger crops of com and
not so much cotton. Wheat, with the excep
tion of occasional patches destroyed by
worms, is looking fine. Gardens planted. We
have every reason to expect a good crop of
fruit. Everything is looking up in Pickens
—the people hopeful and aroused to new life
and energy, farms enlarged and being cleared
tip, better prepared, etc.; better houses being
built, and many prejxirations for still better.
We have one cotton factory, and will soon
have another. We hear of furnaces to be
erected in the near future. Our immense
rich iron Wds will now W utilized. We hear
of capitalists offering to work our marble.
Men of energy and means are daily looking
after wealth hitherto useless and *our own
people are aroused to action and to do their
part and to prepare to take their place with
the best county of Georgia. I omitted the rich
gold mine now Wing worked and Wing fully
oj>ened on Long swamp. This mine is said to
be vastly rich. The best signs of the times is
the increased desire for education. All this
now life and energy is due tQ the Marietta
and uortli Georgia railroad, and tlie work is
Wing pushed forward with vigor, and if the
company had the hands to which it is enti-
tled.Gilmcr, Fannin,Union and Towns would
soon feel the influence now awaking our peo
ple. It is mortifying for us to know and feel
that, while strangers help us. many Georgians
fight an enterprise which is the only hope of
this country. Mr. Eager is now on’ the line
J erfccting arrangements to bring the train to
nsner by the 15th of May, and carry on the

_ , , A CHILD’S FEARFUL DEATH.
Special.
Amebicus, March 20.—Little Johnnie Mc-
Elrov, aged about.seven years, the son of Mr.
and .Mrs. John A. McElroy, o’ this city, lost
his life in a very tragic manner yesterday af
ternoon. He was playing with his little
brothers and some other little children about
the gin-house of Mr. John L. Adderton, and
at the time of the fatal occurrence he was
riding around on one of the levers attached
to the running gear of the gin, while his little
playmates were merrily pushing the levers
around. As the running gear was detached
from the gin they could propel it with but lit
tle effort, and were enjoying themselves
splendidly when Johnnie approached too
close to the place where the large band-wheel
and small cog-wheel come together, and bis
head was caught Wtween the two in some
way and terribly crushed, tlie skull Wing
badle fractured. * His li*tle playmates, fright
ened at the terrible catastrophe, fled precipi
tately to give the alarm, with the exception
of one little boy, who remained there and
hailed a gentleman who was passing in a buggy
and told him wliat had happened. This gen
tleman, Mr. Edgar Simmons, found the un
fortunate child hanging limp and almost
lifeless on the fatal machinery, and took him
up and tenderly carried him home, where he,
in about an hour, died.

The Bette Who Told Ylvtun ilnhiifTy’s Doom.
By the Chicago Tribune Novelist
“Do you mean it, father?”
Vivian Mahaft'y looked steadily into his father’s
face as ho spoke these words—looked fairly and
fully into the face of the keen-eyed old man whose
petted idol he had been since the days of his baby
hood—those dreary, desolate days when the black
pall of his young wife’s death had fallen over the
life of he who was now looking at his only child so
sternly. Myrtle Severn had been his early love, and
his only one, and as she lay in her coffin, white
and silent, never again to speak his name in the en
dearing tones that fell with such tender cadence
upon his ear, never again to wind those soft warm
arms around his neck and put up the little rosebud
mouth to be kissed, he felt that there was naught
in all the wide world that could ever make
existence a pleasure to him again.
But after she had been laid away to
rest forever—planted with loving care in the
little dell beyond the car bams, where the willows
wave their spreading branches over the green-clad
earth, and the soft breath of summer kisses into life
the modest violet, the white-faced aster, and the
blushing sunflower—and the nurse brought to him
the child in giving birth to which the mother had
died, a change came over the strong-willed man,
and from that moment the great love Aristides Ma-
haffy had borne his wife was translerred to the boy.
Time had touched Aristides with refrigerating
finger, and from the locks that were once a sunny-
golden hue there peeped forth now and then a
thread of silver gray—a tiny milestone on the path
way of life down which we all must travel, and
ever and anon a twinge of gout in one of his base
ball fingers would warn the old man that he was
nearing the homestretch, and that ere many sum
mers had come and gone he must leave the busy,
rushing world forever, and be only an item
in the hooks of tlie probate court These
thoughts passed rapidly through his mind as
he stood near an open grate in the richly-fumished
parlor of his Calumet avenue mansion, the ruddy
glow of the fire leaping bravely up the rear of his
pants and making strange shadows around his
Waukegan feet. Ilia son—his bright-eyed boy—had
said that he was about to marry Ethelberta
O’Rourke, a girl whom the old man knew only as a
fashionable belle, and of whose better qualities he
had never heard, and in a moment of passionate
anger he had told the boy that if his determination
>vas persisted in disinheritance should follow. It
was this threat that had caused Vivian to utter the
words with which this story begins.
“Yes, I mean it,” replied the father. “Marrv
this girl if you choose, but if you do, not a penny
of mine shall you have”—and leavingthese bitterly-
cruel words floating around the room he stalked
savagely from the apartmenL

Two hours have passed. So have seven or eight
horse-cars, but the one for which Vivian is waiting
finally comes along, and soon lands him at the door
of Pericles O’Rourke’s house. Ethelberta is sitting
in her boudoir (high-toned word for room) sewing
some foamy lace into the neck of a velvet dress as
the voung man entered.
“1 have bad news for you, my darling,” Vivian
savs in sad tones, while a don’t-bluff-or-you-will-
be'-ealled look comes over his face.
Bertie nestled her little dimpled hands confiding
ly in his. “Tell it to me at once, sweet,’ ’ she said;
“only with you alive and well nothing could be so
verv dreadful.’ ’
Vivian looked at her with a wonderful grave ten
derness in his blue eyes.
He was sizing her up.
“My father and 1 have quarreled, and h» has
disinherited me. I have”—and here his voice
quivered slightly—“been given the g. b. on your
account I am a beggar, Bertie.”
Her soft dusky eyes grew wider and more se
rious.
“Yes,” continued the sucker, “I am poor. But I
■wouldn’t care if it wasn’t for you. darling. It
means that I must give you up, for I cannot ask you
to share life with me on a thousand a year.”
She looked at him with a rich crimson flush surg
ing into, her cheeks. If it had been a full Vivian
would probably have gone under, but a flush could
never scare him.
“Vivian,” she snid, passionately, “do you think
I will let you give me up? I love you too well lor
that. A beggar or a prince, you are the same to
me—my king, my lover.”
And he folded her to his heart with a great al
most speechless tenderness and joy.
“My darling, my precious,” he whispered.
Three months later: O11 a golden December after
noon, with a blue sky as In June, there was agraud
wedding at the O’ Rourke mansion. As Vivian and
Ethelberta were entering the carriage that was to
bear them to the depot, she looked at him with a
weirdly precious smile. . „ „ .
“And so you would not desert me. darling,” he
said, “even when you thought that I was poor?”
I “No, mv precious one,” was the reply. “I leam-

THE WEEK’S REVIEW—FRIDAY, MARCH 24.
New Y'ork—The general cotton market during the
past week has been void of any particular anima
tion, and the tone continued dull and depressed.
Futures have pursued a downwatd course, and,
regardless of an occasional temporary reaction, the
close to-day reveals a loss of 12@18 points since the
close of a week ago. To-day the appearance of tlie
market developed no significant change, though at
the close the months had regained a steady feeling
with prices a shade above opening quotations.
There has been no undue excitement in the market
this week. Speculations were generally of a quiet
nature, ard the amount of sales will not exceed
last week’s. As to the immediate outlook we can
merely conjecture the course of the market Al
though of a declining tendency for some days past,
there are many persons who claim that prices must
of a necessity move upwards, and predict an early
general rise. The spot market continues, for tlie
most part, unchanged with 12 8-16c ruling all the
week. Net receipts show a moderate increase over
last week.
Net receipts for the week ending to-day 61,832
bales, against 57,280 bales last week and against
93,201 bales for the corresponding week Last year;
exports for the week 79,S72 bales; same time last year
106,485 bales; stock 89S,72S bales; same time last
year 836,017 bales.
Vp to to-day the local cotton market has shown a
firm feeling, and sales during the week were liberal
at TUling quotations. To-day, however, the market
developed an easier tone and before the close man
ifested considerable dullness with moderate sales.
Prices, however are still maintained, but the in
quiry and demand lias shown a marked change.
The increased offerings this week seems not to have
been occasioned by any want of confidence in
higher prices but money investments at present will
probably render better profits than might be se-
secured by an early advance in cotton. Receipts
for the week ending to-day amount to 2,191 bales,
against 1,508 bales last week and against C93 bales
for the corresponding week last year.
SATURDAY, MARCH 25.
New York—Futures opened a shade lower this
morning .with steady tone, but afterwards a dull
feeling appeared which prevailed throughout the
remainder of the day. Toward tho close an easiness
was manifested which was accompanied by a gen
eral moderate decline In prices. The spot market
remains unmoved, and, regardless of the decline
in futures, prices arc still sustained; middling
12 3-16c.
Net receipts to-day amouut to 9,361 bales, against
12,074 bales last year; exports 15,004 bales; last year
24,086 bales; stock 887,710 bales; last year 830,524
bales.
