During the past week some of our
1C town subscribers complained of their
e papers not being delivered at their
houses. We would say that a full
number of papers is always given the
carrier boy with a list of the names

over;ooked the fault lies with him.
Our subscribers are particularly re
R, quested to notify this office prompt:y

that we may correct such delinquen.

I In The allied Powers have pretty well
overthrown opposition in and around
h Tien Tsin and Peking, and the prob.
an bility is that peace negotiations will
Or. soon assume tangible shape as soon
as responsible representatives can he
met from the Empress Dowager and
Emperor both of whom have fled to
thy Interior China. All of the legatteners
xur and native christians of Peking have
of been rescued and are with the allies.
Ur. Th3 United States will send no more
troops to China, but will divert those
en route to Manila. The Philhipinoe
of problem remains alout the same, and
in is no nearer solution than when our

ing, it is expected that the movement
of the rice crop will be lively from
th;s time forward. Rice yet in the
6ie:ds, in all stages of development is
reported in excellent condition.
Although sugar cane was generally
too la:ge to r,'cive further caltivar
tion, th.! favorable weather of the
past week and the foul' condition of
many fields ndluced planters to again
put hoes at work and have some
plowing done. The piospect for a
large tonnage is excellent.
The genteral condition of co!ton has
improved. The oldest is beginning
to open in many places and some
picking has been done, but the crop
ts reported late: the stalk on high
fresh land is very rank' but h1.ars
comparatively little fruit, that on low
lan-is is small, generally foul with
grass, weeds and does not look prom
tsing; complaints of cotton shedd nr,
both leaves and squares, anld damage
by bo!l worms and rust continue.
Corn in all sections is regarded as
madel and in places is bring gathered.
In a f, w localities the a rap is repo:ted
very g.o:, but for the most pait it is
light.
Plowing and the planting of fall
vegetables bas begnn.

A Sad Death.
Tom Duncan Kent, infant son of I
Hon. T D. Kent nrod Earline Carver, h
died at the residence of his parents, g
"Abby Highland plantation", at 4.40 re
p. m. on Thursday August 23, 1900, I
aged 2 years, 5 months and 7 days is
The funeral services were conduct- u
ed at the Episcopal Church and a n
large number of friends and acq ain, v,
tances attended the interment of the v,
remains iii St. John's Cemetery at t(
4.30 p. in. on Friday, the 24th. y,
Little Duncan was a bright and k,
sprightly little boy, and, being the h,
on'y son u;on whom the bt reaved ki
father and mother lavished a world re
of adfection, made their parental grief ni
doubly poignant in the untimely loss 'd
of their sweet and ido!ized child. w
Our children may die and leave bhi
our hearts and homes desolate for a p.
lime; we cannot prevent it, nor hi
would it be be.t if we could. Sorrow
has its useful lessons when it is right,
and death is the gate that opens out i
of earth towards the hose 'eternal
in the heavens". If we lose our dear a
o:es, heaven gains them and tlie.y are gc
so many silver cords that band us to T
the sparit world. If we mourn, they f
rejoice. If we hang our harps on of
tie willows, they tune theirs in the in
eternal orchestra above, rejoicing f"
tulat we shull <soon be with them. YP
Shall we not drown our sorrow in the A
flood of light let through the rent T"
veil of the skies which Christ enteratd, TI
and who said : '-Suffer little children
to come unto me and forbad them u'
not, for of such is the kingdom of C
heaven", knowing that every step in
lita's walk brings ass nearer our de
paited once, and their sweet eternal
home which death never enters and
where partings are never known ? T
These refl,.ctions should conso'e the
hearts of the bereaved parents and'
relations. -1

The New York riot was c!ose!y

S On last Ssatnrdsy afternoon a
e drunken row occurred between some
is negroes at the Bush Grove planta.
tion, six miles down the bayou from
town, in which a negro -named Joe
Shelton--shot and killed another
e negro na ned-i-Spurgeon Marshall.
, Deputy corouer-Dr. Staik went
down andt held an inquest, but ab t
a though tyre were a number of per.
a sons present at or near the killi:g
nothing could be elicited to throw
a light on the cause of the homicide.
Strar'ge to say Shelton escaped
e into thinene field although there
wp ere enough persons ,resent to have
Srffected his capture had a prompt
chase been given the fugitive.
SSh-riff Brary was sick in bed when
h news came of the affray and was
unable to go to the scene of the'
murder.

Did you know that you could buy
a pair of "Regent" shoes, with a
guarantee, that they will wear well ? 4
The iergent factory are so well satis.

instruct us to replace every pair that
fails to give good wear. So you see,
