Kinff Cotton.
The indications are that the area of
cotton to be planted in this section this
year will be largely in excess of that of
1879. The demand for fertilisers, we un
derstand, is very heavy, which is a euro
indica ion of the great exertions 'which
are to be put out by the farming Com
munity this year. With good seasoas
there will be a fine prospect ahead fer our
people but if '1880 should, prove a bad
cotton year they will get back many of
the troubles from which they have just
escaped.
Respectfully Dedicated to the Boys
and the Police Authorities.
We do not propose writing a philip'
pic 8gainst boys or their practices in
games of pleasure, for, strange as it may
seem to seme of our masculine juvenile
friends, we were once a bjy ourself and
although a decade of years and more have
passed since that happy period, we can
recollect with great distinctiveness many
of the events together with the customs
of those days, no matter whether marbles
were in fashion or kites in season, or old
hundred on Academy Hill the popular
game of amusement; it all comes back to
oarmind'seye with marvellous distinc
tiveness, but with it all we think the boys
of that period generally kept or were
made to keep within certain bounds
Now we do not object to bojs playing
shienv. but reason tells us that there
oaght to be some regular play ground and
not all the side walks in the city ought
to be taken up for this amuiment, and
then balls would be better to use than
rocks,for there is danger in knockingsmaU
rocks or stones through the streets; they
may be driven through somebody's win
dow glass, or worse still.they might strike
some one in the face; Yesterday we are
told that there came very near being a
serious accident on the corner of Bed
Cross and Third streets, by which two
ladies, who were driving inji buggy.migbt
have lost their' lives or had their limbs
broken if they had not succeeded in get
ting out of the buggy as soon as they did,
and before the horse dashed off at a farL
oas runaway speed, and it was all
e insed by the horse takiag fright at the
shinny sticks of a crowd of boys at the
above named locali-y. Fortunately the
ladies w.re enabled to jump out in time,
while the horse dashed off at a runaway
speed, with the baggy, smashing it aad
breaking the shafts. But our i a for mint
states that the accident caused no inter
mission ot the game cf shinny.

Painful Accident.
Mr. J. D. Nat t, a yeumr citizen of
this place.who is a clerk in Messrs. Green
& Flanner s drag store, met with a pain
ful accident this forenoon. He had just
filled a small bottle with carbolic acid and
was endeavoring to fit a cork: into the
month, when from some cause the bottle
exploded throwing the (eorrosive material
over his face and hands, and
burning him dreadfully. He was at once
carried home and Dr. Wood called to his
assistance. Everything possible was done
for his relief, and at last accounts he wei
somewhat easier. Dr. Wood made as
careful an examination as could be made
under the circumstances, and we are glad
to learn from him that he does not think
that the eyes have been injured.
lit j Court.
Alice Beatty, colored, was arraigned for
being drunk and disorderly. Officer Grant
who made the arrest, testified that he was
called upon yesterday by the proprietor to
move the woman out" of Mr. Scott's
store on Market street. That he arrested
the defendant and had progressed as far as
the Market House, when he was compelled
to call in officer Billy Griffith's assistance,
the woman being so drunk he couldn't get
along with her, and finally they were eom
pelled to call into requisition a dray and
haul her to the Guard House. The Chie
of Police stated that the defendant smash
ed the window glass in the Guard Boom,
and then danced a sort of hoty dance on
the fragments, claiming she had religion,
and made such a terrible' noise and row
that the Janitor was compelled to lock the
prisoner in the cell.
The Mayor pronounced sentence of $10
or twenty days. There being no further
business, the Court adjourned.

Narrow Escape.
Mr. P. W. Newk irk, engineer at the
Navassa Guano works, bad a very narrow
and almost miraculous escape from death
while attending to his duties as engineer
at the above named works this morning.
It seems that Mr. Newkirk's clothing was
caught by the cogs of the gear wheel and
he was thrown intothe mill pit, but how
he escaped or when he was extricated from
his perilous position, he ie unable to tell,
but be must have crawled out himself as
the machinery was not stopped. He
says he only recollects his clothes being
caught and his body being jerked into
the mill pit as stated abeve. Luckily for
Mr. Newkirk he has no dangerous injuries
though he is pretty severely bruised. Dr.
W. W. Lane was telephoned for, and
took passage in the company's little
Bteam yacht, which was fortunately. lying
at tho company's wharf here with steam
up when the telephonic despatch was re
ceived. The injuries from which Mr.
Newkirk is suffering are several scalp
wounds, besides a braise or cut on the
nose and possibly a broken collar .bone.
We saw and talked with the iojuried
man about S o clock this afternoon and
the above are the facts connected with the
accident as he related them to us. Mr.
Newkirk is the son of Dr. A. F. New
kirk, and has many friends in this city
who will be glad to hear of hi truly
wonderful escape from death.
