BARGE PLUNKETT.
Springtime Has Broken Upon the Country
in All Its Glory.
PRETTY GIRLS AND FLOWERS
The Flagism Has Been Introduced
and Bids Fair To Become
Popular.
(Written for The Constitution.)
It has come, it is on vs—spring.
We have the wild flowers, the birds and
tin? trees,
Such things as the haughty might not
care to see—
I hold in my heart a pity for these
And thank God for giving the country to
me.
What a time the rich people of the towns
could hate if tiny only know it. <ot out
to the country m.l breath the fresh air of
these spring mornings Romp ov r the
fie'iis and smell (lie fl esh p! >w- 1 mo idov s.
Go into the woods and gather the honey
suckles and dogwood blos-oms. Pi.ll off
your shoes and wade up and down in the
branches. Swing on limbs and jump t.m
ditches <>r do whatsoever you please till
you are tired enough to sit down on some,
mossy spot and watch the birds and heal
them twitter this is what 1 call great.
The. rich people of the cities will soon
he starting off to the fashionable reports
and spending thousands of dollars to find
such things as are only found in a country
life. The fascination of travel and the dissi
pations of tine resorts can nevi r bring that
freedom from anxiety and that peaceful
repose which can be had right around you
and at a price which will lesson suicides
and save many from the brand of default
ing. giving a peace and ease which can
only be had by keep, ng outside the strain
which living beyond one’s means is sure
to bring.
It seems a wonder to me that millionaires
do r. t barn tliat the life of a prosperous
Ileorg .I cracker is beyond anything they
< n n.d in foreign lands, and far more
wonderful does it seem that the class of
p.o;de who must strain to apo these very
w rk up i "fad” on living in

r rhis issue of Tho Weekly (Constitution
Is published om Monday, the 28th of March,
find it covers such an extensive Held that
the la-st day of March will be reached be
fore the paper goes into the hom« s <>f
thousands of its subscribers—t his being
particularly true of states at a distance,
cuch as Virginia, North Carolina. Texas.

The Constitution, hereby announces that
All subscriptions and estimates to

ing next, the 4th of April, will be

nn. Ales.i.mkr A Co., or New York,
are ». .'?opnize'd the world over n.s b«.’iog
among the for- most of the cotton firms of
this ‘-mintry. Their statist!-s uro generally
seeepted -is being as relia.ble as siatistics
<nn bo, ami their estimates are based upon
tlm mo t searching investigation, ami upon
il.-iia. mid figures obtained at great cost to
them.
<>f course nobods r knows at this early
,1 L to w hat tho • xact of tin ■ rop to ba
mmoum-eil on September Ist, will be, but
in order I hat every reader of The Uo-klj'
Constitution may be placed on exactly the
same footing, we present, elsewb.-re a. t-le
grum from Gotham, Alexand< r Al- Co., giv
ing their estimate, and the rekisotis leading
to their conclusion that the crop will bo
slightly in excess of 11,000,000 bale-ts.
li, this ojm. et on It is interesting to note
tliat the great Riverpool cotton house of
1 ..indaui-r Co. estimate a crop of slightly
over lIOnOCOO bales. Os course all tli.-se
figures ‘are given AS ESTI MATHS ONI-Y
and simply for what they are worth.
THEY ma.v be ACCEPTED by GI’ESS
ERS SIMPLY a.s INFORMATION, and
ARE PRESENTED ONLY for that Pl’R-
P< ISE.
The final awards of the cotton crop con
test will b. based on the official tiniwunco
mi'iit of I.atham, Alexander & Co., to be
pubi shed In the month of September.
I are on the Increase, and much of It can
' in- -o-eounted for through the .-xtraviganeo
or dissipations of the times. The demands
of extravagance has caused many a young
man to take desperate risks. Some are so
lucky as to never have their sins find them
.mt, but enough of them are found out to
set every good man and woman at work
to correct, the evil. We like to cuss and
<!l--.--us.'- the evils of Intempcran<-e win n ap
plied to tho drinking habit, and we should
not dislike to cuss or discuss any other
evil, if tlm society people of the towns
would make it popular to spend their out
ings in the country about them It would
ki.i. the money around t-hem and be ,i
saving beyond measure In t'he matter of
ex.pen.se. If It is for health that these peo
ple vis.lt the resorts, I can promise, them
tliat there could bo no healthier thing than
to live in the rural districts and r mip over
tho. fields and woods just as the young
people of our district are doing and have
l-vi-r done. As old as I am I would walk a
mile and wait an hour to see a. crowd of
sweet country girls coming up a path load
ed with dogwood bios oimi and honey
suckles, and I would like for every one to
have their hair down, and red s .cks and
white aprons. Rl-ooming with health, h.i,p
py as birds and ns innocent as doves, they
make a picture to have us well exclaim:
"God bless the country and bless the girls.”
There has been one little tipple of dis
content at things In our settlement this
past week, and but one, but 1 am asked
to write of It.
A new flag has been Introduced or try
ing to be Introduced. It Is another one of
the "isms” started u.p, and of .-oiir.e I’m
against it as I have been against ah '■.-ms."
This time they want all Christians. Irre
spective of church or creed, to rally tinder
u universal flag. I told them that the old
stars and stripes was good enough for me,
while Brown blasted it as a Spanish trick.
Spanish or no Spanish, there Is going t ■ bo
1,,1 , of people agreeing 'with the Idea.
If this succeedw, then fanaticism will have
full sway—of course, it will be tho flag of
flags and tile champions of all the "Isms
will wave it above their ranks.
I do not mention this In Idle talk. Tho
movement is on I'o-ot to establish such a
flag, and never yet have 1 seen a word
against it In the denomination il papers. I
have w.itohid the Baptist papers, th,.. Meth
odist ind the Southern Presbyterian es
p,. .j ijiy, to s' e-them come out. against such
a movement, but as yet they ie Sfl-fd
