Considerable sickness throughout

attributed to the variableness of the

Mr. J. G. R. Fuqua, who has

Ii is said that Frank Hear Id stood

a minute and still lues. Tho latter
fact is what ilcurld wonders at.
Rain has been needed iu thissoction
for some time. The dry weather
has considerably damaged all late
cotton, |KHatoes, cane, peas, etc. If
it continues, our farmers will soon
have out all their cotton, for only a
small icmnutit now rtnoiiiiB in i u
great many places. It is the gener
al vc.rdict that I no cotton crop was
cut Short by the present dry weat h
er.
Notwithstanding the fact that «.
good deal of cotton is being, market
ed, but little money is in circulation.
The bulk of this crop goes in pay
ment of goods, provisions and guano
already bought. How tnuih better
would it bp for tho fanners were it
otherwise!
As is generally conceded, the cotton
crop is far short of last Bummers’*
anticipations. Notwithstanding this
fact, Mr. William Gilbert and a
young Mr. Haskins, of Harvard’s
distiict, this county, will realize
twelve bales, averaging five hundred
pounds each, to each plow. Beside
this, enough corn, potatoes, syrup,
etc., to do thorn a twelve month or
more. 'This is farming that pays.
Mr. R"uben Lamb, formerly of
Coohran but now warehouse agent
at this place, is having a great deal
of sickness in his family, out near
the creek. He and his wife and two
of his three children are quite sick.

From the way in which tho work

Mr. C. C. Smith died at his home

o’clock last Sunday morning. He
had a chill about the rniddlo of last ?

which rendered him unconscious for

He leaves a loving family and a

Tito following squibs were written
before wc dee ded to await the result
of the election. In order to give
oitr readers the benefit of tho early

would pardon us for the delay. In

We go to press thi» week before

The independents, who would
have you believe them democrats of
the Jeffersonian type, and who are
no& Vealiy waging war against the
organized dcnc'ciacy of our county,
are not the public’s servants, inter
ested in the public good, but are
striving to be its masters—o override
the will of the people. They, in
their endeavors to master the situa
tion, pose ns special friends of the
colored voters, offering all kinds of
preposterous promises, in order to
gut their aid for this purpose. It
will be a good thing if the people
will, by giving an overwhelming ma
jority to the nominee, to-day, bring
this attempted tyranny to un end.
Reform, such as the people are capa
ble of giving, should come now and
give this evil a blow squarely on the
iiead. So moic it he.

Au Ltlitor’* Theory at ills Isiorlli*
qnskA
Percy Howell, iu Uif Wight paper,
tho Gibson EaterpHst, gives tins
clever cause of the earthquake: A1
ter “long days df labor, the uiglits
devoid of ease,’’ dining which unr
gigantic intellect whs wrestling with
this mighty problem, we have arrived
al a conclusion which we believe to
be correct, and which we give for
the benefit of the public.
All over the country are thousands
of newspaper subscribers and those
who ought to bu subscribers. From
tiuio immemorial it has been well
known that editors a-o the hardest
working and poorest paid class ol
men unywhere to be found. After
t lie editor has exhausted himself iu
attempting to benefit tho public for
a very small pecuniary reward prom
ised in the dim future, it seems to
be generally supposed that ho can
exist on water and air, and that a
few words of tnuugro praise are
sufficient remuneration for his effort*
Mutters having continued thus for a
long time, the subscriber rdf using to
pay and the chrome borrower pe
rosing tlu* papers of oilier people,
(lie ' complaint and grievances of
editors having ui length reached tlm
ears and moved the heart of mother
earth. Iu just indignation she has
recently shaken heiself and made
the guilty' tremble as u gentle re
minder of their obligations.
OhI (I i relict subscribers, take
warning. Oil! newspaper borrowers,
cease boi-owing* If tilts warning
is not hCoded, serious und awful
consequences may follow. If you
owe for your paper, pay up; if you
are not a subscriber, su iseribe at
once lost Mother Earth movod to
greater indignation shall shako with
increased violence.
In conclusion wo will remark that
wo think the majority of intellectual
people—under this head we include
all editors—will believe tho truth of
this theory. And right here we will
say wo stand ready to receive new
subscribers and subscription dues to
this paper. Don’t let us have any
