TOBACCO NOTES.
BY O. I.
The Democratic Congressional com-
elected its old officers, Senator
Faulkner, of West a., chairman, and
Lawrence Gardner, of Washington,
Secretary, and appointed a committee
of five, of which Representative Hutch-
of Texas was made chairman, to
select members of the committee from
those Mates which have a solid
delegation in Congress. At the
joint Congressional caucus which
the members of the campaign
committees the was almost
unanimous that the Democrat have
more than a fighting chance to elect a
a majority of the next House,
members of the campaign are
going to work with the intention of do-
so if possible.
The people of tobacco town are
preparations to have a water sup-
ply. The funds have been raised and
Messrs J. W. Morgan, G. P. Fleming
and Oscar Hooker have been appointed
a committee to have the work
The eastern tobacco crop is
now almost a the past, that is
so far as affecting the sales he east-
markets is concerned- Nearly all
of it has been sold, though we under,
stand that there are some men on some
of the eastern markets who for the
of trying to retain certain orders have
reported that there is yet a good deal
unsold. I do not believe there is one
per cent of tobacco still in
the hands in
Carolina.
With the wring another year,

President Cleveland is not worrying
over the silly criticism in connection
with the recent arrests of Cuban
busters. Only those ignorant of law
make these criticisms. As well might
a city or county officer refuse to serve a
warrant which has been sworn out
against a criminal as for United States
officials to refuse to arrest
when they are pointed out by the Span-
minister in of their easily

neutrality laws. Should
this government refuse to make these
arrests Spain would be in a position to
claim enormous money damages from
the United States, and the claim would
be allowed by an international court.
be remembered by all. The
of known filibusters is not a
of sympathy, but of dollars
cents. The President is fully aware
that of the people of this country
sympathize with the Cubans, there
is little doubt that he does, too, but he
is too honorable a man to let that inter-
with his duty, lie the inter-
est of the United States to look out for
first. It is altogether that
after Congress shall have finished its
speech making about Cuba and decided
in what form its opinion shall be ex-
that President Cleveland will
have his say in the matter, less
that his say will meet the of
he country.
Much is being said about a con-
held in City be-
tween Ed. Chambers Smith, Butler,
Mott and Peebles, with W. H. Day
also in the city. The object of the
meeting seems to been the

Democrats and Populist, the above

think of these honorable gentlemen

is still more to think Ed.

party to the Populists, provided the
Slid two gentlemen were, cared for.
The whole thing is ridiculous. The

is merchantable, and if it were the con.

II seven or eight million
pounds here next year. With these
well grounded prospects for the in-
creased business of tho market we
should most certainly begin in time to
make sufficient prostrations to take
care of the crop. I have talked a
good many dealers and exporters of
the weed since January and they all
have a preference for Greenville, over
an of the other eastern markets. If
inducement is offered these
people I have assurance that they will
come to Greenville themselves, if they
do not come then they will nave some
one to represent them and they will
want prize houses in which to handle
their stocks.

these small ships would have to be

there is no question. The United

A Brick Thrown at the Excursion
Train.
Wednesday evening as the fair ex
train was passing slowly by
a flag station just below
Ayden, some miscreant threw a brick
at the train. The heavy missile struck
the upper glass of a window to one of
coaches, against the inner
Hind which was partially lowered and
saved it from coming inside the coach.
But for the brick striking so high
doubtless some in the coach would
have badly hurt. Miss Lizzie
Spain sat nearest to the window, Mr.
J. V. Johnson lie other
portion of the seat. Fragments of the
glass flew the young
lady, but fortunately she received no
injury.
The conductor was engaged an-
other part of the train at time and
did not learn of the occurrence until
train had gone a mile or two be-
He said the railroad
ties would send a man down to try and
ascertain who threw the brick. We
hope the search for the miscreant will
prove successful and that he will be
justly punished.

Typhoid Causes
Treatment.
The causes of Typhoid fever are
not, we believe, fully agreed upon
by the medical profession. The
germ theory is the one generally
accepted germs, it is
claimed, are transmitted in the
main through the water we drink.
How they are propagated is an-
other question, and here the
differ. This disease is
often prevalent and very fatal in
sections where the water is freest
from pollution, as for instance in
the mountain sections of
Stale. Regarding treatment, we
find the following very interest-
article in the Charleston News
and Courier
A new treatment for typhoid
is reported. T e method em
ployed, it is explained rather
is that is the
temperature of the patient is low
artificially and sleep and
are employed to build up con-
that the fever is working
down. The patient, instead of
being allowed to for twenty-
one days burning to death at a
temperature of plus, is taken
at the first stages of the fever and
given cold baths, not plunged into
ice cold water, but put in a bath
about blood heat and ice water
gradually added till the tempera-
of the patient, which is taken
constantly with the thermometer,
goes down to normal. Then the
patient is removed from the bath,
thoroughly dried and wrapped in
blankets and given a little
to induce a healthy
Then the sick one falls off
into a quiet natural sleep, which
will last from half an hoar to
three hours, and at the end of that
time, when the temperature rises
to fever heat again, it is reduced
by another bath. This is kept up
till the fever is finally broken.
Out of eighty-one cases treated
by this method at Johns Hopkins
Hospital in Baltimore, it is report-
ed, but cases were lost, a
much better record than the old
style of treatment can show.
The Incidents of Great
