Dr. Raglattd Leaves Word Aleut Tick. Dr. If. J. Ragtand, who spent last year here in the work of ei terminat ing cattle ticks, in the work that the national department of agriculture ia carrying oo, has gone to Montgomery county for the present He will be back here about March first He asks The Journal to make pub lic a few suggestions to be followed during his absoence. On all but about 125 farms in the county the ticks have been eradicated. Dr. Rag land says that the ticks may be got ten rid of on these 125 farms very easily. The pastures which have tick now should be turned out and not used next season. Now is the time to make the change before the ticks are hatched out All cows should now be taken from old pas tures and put iuto new ones. Then when the warm weather of spring comes and the ticks are hatched out they will die simply because there will be no cows for them to live on An inspector will be here in the spring, and all farms on which ticks are found will be quarantined. The simple directions given above. if followed, will rid your farms of ticks. As soon as the ticks an got ten out of the county, cattle may be shipped from here to Charlotte and all points North.

Have vou stopped to think what would have happened to the South and to the tvuutiy at rge bsdtbe farmers lost courage when the banks did! Suppose every old hay seeder bad turned pale under the gills, when the Panic struck, and bad rushed his cotton to market what would have beeu the consequence! Prices would have slumped to eight rents. Possibly to six. Who knows! Nothing in tbe worm has kept up the price of the staple ex cepting resolute determination of the farmers to hold. Every man who did sell got the benefit of tho heroism of those who would not sell. Had cotton gone down to six or eight cents, the havoc would have been immense. Tens of thousands would have been ruined. I glory in the spunk of the farm ers! They deserve the thanks of tbe whole country. Let those silk bat rascals of New York who brought on the panic squeal for cotton and talk about the "repre (tensive conduct" of tbe farmers in not sending their cotton to Europe after gold. Do you hold on to that cotton. Things will come your, way pretty won. A Cure for Misery. "I have found a cure for the mis ery malaria poison produces," says K. M. James of Looollen, S.C. "Its called Electric Bitters and comes in 60 cent bottles. It breaks up a cose of chills or a bilious attack in almost no time; and it puts yellow jaundice clean out of commission." This great tonic medicine and blood purifier gives quick relief in all stomach, liver and kidney com plaints and the misery of lame back. Bold under guarantee at English Drug Company's.

New berry is also the seat of Newberry College, a Lutheran School, which some months ago offered Mr. Fullen wider a professorship. The call from the Church of the Redeemer is a very flattering one, since the church has a large membership and is an import ant field. The congregation offers Mr. Fullenwider a salary of $ 1,500 a year and the use of a parsonage. ror a young man who has been in the ministry scarcely five years, this call is highly complimentary.

The thief entered his well house, where the meat was being kept, and carried off most of a good sized hog that Mr. McManus had just killed a day or two before. The nut night his ntigh bors organized a searching party and finally found tbe stolen meat under tbe litter in bam Massey scow stable, where he had attempted to conceal it.

Burgess of the Waxhaw community, was taken to Pryor's Hospital at Chester Wed nesday of last week, where she will probably have to undergo an opera tion for appendicitis. Dr. Pryorcame over from Chester Tuesday evening and advised that she be taken to the hospital at once. The Waxhaw Enterprise says: "The Ladies' Aid Society of the Methodist church gave an oys'er supper at the parsonage Monday night, which proved to be a most enjoyable affair The supper was well patronized aud netted the society a neat little sum. A special feature of the evening, and one which thoroughly delighted ev erybody present, was tho voluntary singing of two or three hymns by Misses Ada Eason and Ada Philips, two deaf and dumb young ladies who were present at the supper. Thr young lad ies were not present for the purpose of singing, but cheerfully rendered two or three favorite hymns in response to a request from a num ber of friends." The Enterprise ought to have gone a step further and explained bow young ladies who are deaf and dumb can sing so that the ordinary audience can under stand. Mrs. Mattie Niven, relict of the latt John Niven, who was found uncon scious on the Wadesboro road, af tor- wards dying, died in Morven at the IIOlllU Ot till ISlUUt, Col. J. tl. luuu, Morday morning from the effects of a dose of paris green taken with sui cidal intent. The poison was taken 1 hursday, it is supposed, and Mrs Niren suffered greatly until her agony was relieved by death. Mrs Niven was about 40 years ot age and her mind bad not been right for a number of years. About seven months ago she returned Home from the State Hospital at Morganton. where she had been for three years. Hor mind at this time came and went and her family feared she would do something rash in a moment of aberation and watched her as closely as possible at such times. The Polkton correspondent of the Wadesboro Messenger says: "Rev. J. W. Little of Jonesboro spent last Fri day and Saturday in our town. He preached a characteristic sermon r n- day night He has just returned from the Y est and seems more than pleased with the land aod people of that part of our country. Mr. Little had an exciting experience early last Friday morning. He started to board the Florida train at Sanford, but be fore be got up the steps, the vesti bule doors were closed. The train was already under considerable head way, and he was compelled to remain on the steps till the train reached Lemon Springs.

' Since The Journal was last printed, Monroe Las bad two fires that niinlit easily have been disastrous, the first to life and the second to much prop erty. The first occurred Tuesday I night and resulted in the destruction of tbe moving picture show known as the Cocimorama. owned and con ducted by Messrs. Charles and Curtis Ixing. The other was on Friday morning when the wind was blowing at a U rude rate, aud broke out in the roof .f the Houston wooden build ing oo the corner opposite the south west corner ol the public square. TheCosmorama occupied the small room known as the office of the old Central hotel. The place was fitted up nicely by the Ing Brothers for their picture show. Just inside the front door a high platform was erect ed, upon which sat the picture ma chine. The platform had the effect of petitioning off the front of the room, and a small door oolv opened through the side to let the spectators in and out. I pon the platform Mr. Curtis Long sat and oerated the machine. All about this work was paper, and when the machine films caught fire from a wire, the fire flew like lightning over everything, and the spectators in front thought that they were cut off and there was a small panic. However, they all got out the rear door and nobody was teriously hurt, which would have been quite different, no doubt, had there been many present, as there often was. Mr. Curtis lxing had a nar row escape and his face was burned before he could jump from the plat form: Miss Kathleen Whitfield, whose position as ticket seller was directly under the platform where the fire be gan, also had a narrow escape. The whole arrangement of the room was ruined, and the long Brothers lost about $1,000, including an electric piano. There was no insurance. Sliute Brothers lost some in damage to the building. hen the tire alarm was given during the high wind of Friday morning about nine o clock, the town felt a shock. The tlames broke through the roof of the old Houston comer building before they were dis covered. But the fire company was on hand in a twinkling, and in a few minutos saved the day. Ihebovs deserve all credit for their work. The intense cold froze their clothing wherever a drop of water touched, and many of the hosemen were coat- d with ire. 1 he lire caught from a stove flue and made a hole in the roof, spreading rapidly. Half of this Otuh. le jlX ttiA'vRu LuiUU.hM, bad they burned there is no telling where the high winds would have carried the fragments. Mr. Yann 8 ikes had just moved his stock of goods into this building and was damaged a good deal by w ater. As the hose were turned to the top of the building the high winds sent the spray in every direction, and at one time the sun made a perfect and beautiful rainbow against the wall of the building.

Dickens seems to have been incapable and indisposed to look beyond the sur face of American manner and so ciety. Oh, what a book 1 could have written! 1 mean 1 who have not only oltserveJ but reflected o much on the characters of the peo ple of England urtd America." Poor Sam Waxren! It seem al most unhantUome to show up his lit tle weaknesses, seeing that "Ten Thousand a Year" is nearly forgot ten and Pickens is still Dickens. His talents never dazzled his pub lishers, but he ws fiercely intoler ant of criticism or editor' inter ference. "I hate his beastly names," wrote Alexander Blackwood to hi brother, referring to tho trick War ren bad of naming his characters in allusion either to their originals or to their imaginary qualities Lord Bullineh (Lord Kusscll), O'Oibhct (O'Connell), Rev. Morphine Velvet (fashionable preacher), and so on, but he refrained from telling the author so. Warren' own portrait is given in a single sly eentence by the licv.

"Sing a song of sixpence" is traced back to the six teenth century. "Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been?" is of the Elizabethan period. "Utile Jack lloruer" is probably as old, and "London bridge is broken down is of unknown antiquity.

A ring l bestowed in marriage because it was anciently a seal by which order were igncd, and the" delivery of the ring wa a token that a man gave the bearer of it power to act aa his deputy. Thus a womal, having her hus band' signet ring, had power to is sue order aa he himself would do. It Does the Business. Mr. E. E.
