None Will be Issued In Future Until the Expiration of 60 Days The rost-Offlco Department has been put to considerablo trouble lately by the issu ance of duplicate-money-orders, for those alleged to have been lost," misfiirected, or possibly stolen by dishonest clerks. All du plicates hare to be issued by the department here, and last year appiloation was made for the issuance of 30,00 Buoh ofders. The De partment finds that in many cases both the original and the duplicate have been paid, and in ecme cases suit has had'to be brought to recover the money. In order to obviate puch entanglements if tfce future, First As sistant rostmaster-Ofljteral Joneg, at the solicitation of the AutUtor, has decided not to issue duplicates in tkeutu're, until after the expiration of sixty days from tho date of the original money-order, thereby affording time for the receipt at the Auditor's office of tho money-order statements of paying post masters, and an opportunity to examine such statements to ascertain whether the original orders have been paid. This may work a hardship in some cases, among those who can ill-afford to wait ths period of sixty days, on account of the mis takes of their correspondents, but it is held at the Fost-Offlee Department that the gen oral good of the whole serrice demands the enforcement of the new regulations. ,The New Oilcans Cotton Exchange Statement.

The lmsiue8 prospect for the county and citv of Anderson is decidedly bet ter than it has heretofore been at any time in two or three years. The far mers have fine crops of corn, cotton, pens, cane, hay, and, in addition, many hogs have been raised. Much fruit has been canned. The merchants could not supply tbe demand for cans and fruit jars. The merchants are cheerful, and have bought large 6tocks of goods to meet tho trade which they confidently anticipate. The cotton re ceipts at Anderson for the year ending August 31 were 31,548. Western Crops.

Of this amount 22, 000 acres have been sold to a colonization company organized at Sioux City, Iowa, which proposes to settle people from Iowa and other Western Stat-s on this tract. The land will 1-e laid out for farming purposes, with a town in connection with it for such settlers as prefer town life.

Among the good things that come along with commendable regularity at the time of the harvest moon are tho annual trade reviews in various Enterprising Southern newspapers. One 01 the most accurate ami comprehensive oi these reviews is that of the New Orleans Times-Democrat, which includes returns from that city and Lousiana.andtno thirteen Southern States. Delaware, Maryland, and Missouri, are not included, they bejng re garded as more Northern than Southern, when an arbitrary distinction must be urawn. The development of manufacturers is, of course the topic of leading intere-d in a bus iness view of the South. Exact llgan s can- lot be given, but the estimates of the Times Pemocrat are as nearly accurate as im- .n..i-l - M'' i.-oo " rhakea is between 1880 and 18'J5, a period Bf fifteen years. In that time the number of manufacturing establishments in the S. m; h increased from 34,55 to 5J,176, and tic capital invested increased from 1 17c. :.!;. 21u to $559,467,600. In Hxi) the hand employed in the mills ot the Houiii numi-ere-i zi.i.n . While in 1S9 thev had grown to 5i8.i.-d considerably more than double.! an 1 the wages paid increased irotn i- ,172 t) 1204,975,500 or more than trebled. The amount of cultivated land has creased in about the same propoi ti Tolume and value of the ofops years ago there were 54.67'.l 15 a -r .n as tin 1'rfteeri sof ! i-i ! under the plow, while in i.'.j uktc ,- 462.672 cultivated acres, or an in. -re: 'S4.783 527 nere.s in a decade and n halt Th total value of all farm products was esti mated at 1611,699.145 in 10, while tin.- y-ar it is placed at f 976.463,5'Hi, an in.-rea-e .,f a little more than one-half, or nearly the s i t. as the increase in the amount of nti v t- I land. One of the most encouraging exhibits is the comparison of the number d farms in 1880 and 1895. In the iirst year tie r" wen: 1,726,480, while in the second year there are ,2,402,672. The old plantations are disappear ing, never to return. Cut up into ;.m .1: farms, they are worked to letter a Iv int i- '-. and contribute more largely io me g-:i-r-.i 'proserity. The coal-mines and loresrs oi me .v.mim are one of the great sources of wealth, pu s ent and prospective. It is estimated that there are 375,185,840 acres of wood! md in the United States to-iy, and that I'.'T.H'.. 620 aers, or more than half, are in Hi" South a quantity sufficient to supply th whole country for many years, of'eoal, nine Southern Stateg produ 1 in ll 'l aboij 24,000,000 tous, of whi"h almost exa- tly h .lj came from the mines f Wr'st Virginia. In 1880 only 2..V3.730 tons of coal were mined in the whMe South. No etati-ti'-s as to ihe number of tons of iron ore are given, but the increase must have tieen great, as He pro duction of pig-iron has grown from Mi.525 tons in II1 ! to 1.262.825 ton- in li'.M. and it was all produced from ore minl at hom-. We have spa.-e for only a few items fn.-n the Times-Democrat's presentation f great facts, but thev suflb e to show a wond-rful progress. And yet the work of development has scarcely begun. Enterprise and capital will find great opportunities in the S mtn-in States for many years to coin, and thw en nnal trade reviews will long continue to give cheering reports of substantial gam m wealth, and all other elements of strength and prosperity. Washington Post. CAPT. A. D. COWLES INSANE. He Attacks the Proprietor of a Hotel With a Hatchet, and Then Suicide. Capt. Andrew D. Cowles, of States ville, who baa been at tho Carolina Ilotel, Durham, a month, became in sane Saturday about 4 o'clock j. m. He jiicked up a sharp hatchet which waa being used by fiome carpenters who were at work making norne changes in the office of the hotel, and made an assault on Alphonso Cobb, clerk of the hotel. Y'oung Cobb ran. Cowles then started toward Mr. Howell Cobb, proprietor of the hotel, with the hatchet drawn. Mr. Cobb picked up a lamp and fctruck Lira squarely in the face with it, thereby dazing him. The caapenters and employee of the hotel rushed to the rescue of Mr. Cobb, an I rushed at Cowles with such weajions as lay at hand, and Cowlen ran in the wash room and shut hiin-H-lf in. The police were called by telephone and went to work to disarm the man at once; but he stood just inside the door and threaUned to use th-hatchet on tbe first mn that came in r.-ach. After many futile attempts to get hold of the man. the hatch' t was las-soed and jerked froiu his hand. He was seized and tak u t j the stttion h-jne and locked up. While i:i the wa-h room Cowles kept goii'iig at bis head and throat with the hatchet, trying to cut his throat. He took up the idea that the llepul lieans had determined to kill him au I sti d he would sell his life as dearly us po-stUe. II was in a highly excited kk-e, but was tent borne Sunday morning.
