It is not incsusistent nor strange if business'halts, because it has been crowded to the utmost for four nkinths in anticipating future needs on account of new combina­ tions proposed.

Tbe press and the preachera have ex­ pressed their horror or their approval and the world moves on—no« a stay nor a stop nor jolt is felt socially, re ligtoasly, financially ot commercially. Tbe fulminationa of the northern press nor the apprehensions of editors nearer homo amount to anything. History is just repeatingJtself. Every ft;W years something like this happena and the press and the preachers ex­ plode in about thera'ne language nnlii they get tired and then sabside and wait qaietly for acme other harrowing thing to happen. We remember well what the press said about tbe burning of tbe brute at Dallas a few years ago and the uame adjectives were used and the same anathemas hurled upon our people. The brute who ravished a child of six years and then killed her and threw her mutilated body in tbe buebea actually found friends among oar enemies. They said it was brutal to burn him. We remember when the negro assaulted a little girl near Mad­ ison as &he was going home from school alone and then cut her throat and threw her body in a gully <;nd covered it with bruah. When ven­ geance overtook him the no? them press howled as usual. It is their business to howl. They like it, and no doubt are glad this thing has happened. It feeds their appetite and nurses tbeir wrath and will' last them a week, perhaps longer. In the language of Gov. Oates, I wonld rise to a pint of order and ask, “what are you going to do about it?'’ Nothing, of course, nothing. Such things will happen sometimes everywhere at long intervals, but they do not afi'ect a single item of civilization. Who is afraid to move to Georgia or Texas because of lynchings? Nobody, save, perhaps, a few bad men who think of coming because they are in bad repute at home. Fitzgerald was not afraid to come, nor afraid to stay, and the northern people in that grow­ ing city are celebrating their contect with picnics and other hilarities while I write. The wicked flee where no man pursueth. No good man is in danger of thelyncbers. No law-abiding citizen has any fear for himself or his household. It takes a terrible crime to arouse a whole community into such a remedy, and 90 I feel no personal alarm. Beader, do you?

A Jyuchicg for tfiaj Time is but the outburst of indigtut- tion. The law’s delay is not in their miuds. If I know myself I am && l^ood a man as any horror-stricken ed- iiot or oreacher. I am kind in heart and love my fellow men and fello;? women. I respect the supremacy of the law just as much as Governor At­ kinson or any other governor, but I rejoiced when the brute was caught and burned. How much he suffered is of no con sequence to me, nor am I afraid of th( crowd that did it or that will do it again. It was the unanimous verdict of a very large jnry, a jury of mei and women, aod 1 am not chicken hearted about such suspects as Strickland, nor would I take ver much sympathetio talk from ocher ne gro leaders who raise their bristleo. I know and feel that the white people of the South have been kind, yes, overkind to the ne^o since the war and that Yankee emissaries have alien* ated him from us and we have got no thanks for all we have done. Sooner or later wo will have to take away his 7 -te and establish the whioping post j and then, and not till then, wlii we i have peaco between the races. If these remedies affected a few bad white men, let them share it oJ leave the country.

If Ohio does not have good roads it will uot bo because tIio.se who are at the head ofthe Ohio Division, L. A.W ., affairs aro lacking in energetic m eth­ ods aud never-say-die qualiiicatious. They are determined to give the B uck­ eye State proper highways if such a thing is possible—aud it is possible— all that is ueeded i» tbat the wheel­ men ot Ohio band together uuder the m antle of the League of American W heelmen, who have declared war on “ bad roads.” There will be uo sign­ ing of a peace protocol until every pub­ lic highway in Ohio is in a lit condi­ tion to be used by all man and woman­ kind, w hether on foot, horseback or awheel.—Tiflin (Ohio) Advertiser. Goad KaadH and Uu»ine05. The value of good roads is seen in many of the trade reports, which state that the delivery of produce was re­ tarded by the bad condition of the highways. On this a-ccouut many farm ers were uuableto sell llieirgoodn when the prices were at Iheir highest ebb, and consequently they lost money, rb is condition would not be were good roads built with the energy that char­ acterizes the undertaking of other public improvement?, many of them not half as im portaiit iu their uature.

T he buildings on a farm suould be as commodious and practically beauti­ ful as the farm er is able to build. In some States tho farms have indiflerent houses, but large and elegant barns, if tho term elegant may be used in such a connection. This plan is not to be commended. The most valuable crop gi'own upon the farm is the crop that is growing in tho house, aud it should be housed in a building that is as perfect th at meehauism aud ob­ servance of tho laws of hygiene can make it. There is plenty of room on the farm for tho construction of tho house, and it should be built of suffi­ cient size to perm it of large, airy rooms, if the pocket book will adm it of such a structure. The cellar de­ serves more attention than it usually receives. A hole in the ground is not necessarily such as should be under a house. It should never be forgotten that tho dampness aud odors of this hole will perm eate the whole house. Bad cellars have been the cause of an im mense am ount of disease and death. On ground that is not naturally abso­ lutely dry—and thero is com parative­ ly little such ground, and is exclu­ sively found in the ari'J sections~the outside of tbe cellar wall should be cemented to keep out the water. It should contain a c e m ^ t floor. I! there is uo cem ent floor, at the bot­ tom of the wall flat stones should be l;».id to extend a few iuchcs beyond the wall. This will bo an absolute prevention of the entrance of rats at the bottom of the wall. The rat when it enters at the bottom of the wall al­ ways goes straight down the side, straight down the side, and it does not know enough to go outside the ju-otruding stone. If there is a cement tloor that precaution wiU not be neces­ sary. A cellar thus constructed will be dry, and if the entrance is proper­ ly guarded, which it always should be, it will bo rat proof.—The Epito- m ist. A Complete Couipost, F irst, put down a layer of vegetable m atter, such as barnyard manure, night soil, hen manure, refuse from the vege­ table and fruit piles, scrapings from tho woodpile, rubbish from the gar­ den, in fact anything and everything in the shape of a litter. Make the layer ten feet wide by tw enty feet long, and six inches deep. Over this sprin­ kle fifteen pounds potash, dissolved in five or six gallons of water, which will turn it into a jelly. Then over this scatter evenly one or two barrels of unslaked lime and cover the whole evenly with two in of fine earth; the tincr the better. R epeat this as often as you have enough m atter to make a layer, as above described. W hen the pile is thres to four feet high put on enough water to slake the lime, aud thoroughly, sj whole m ixture, or leach i AN ENEMY OP LABOR UNIONS. Judge Peter Stenger Grosscup, who has been nominated by the president to bo judge of tho seventh United States circuit court for the northern Illinois district, in place of the late Judge Showalter, has had a distin­ guished career since ho was elevated to the bench which he now leaves for his larger sphere of duty. Prior to that appointment, which was made by President Harrison in 1S92, Judge Grosscup was an eminent lawyer la Chicago. lie came to that city In 18S2 from Ohio, where he had been prom­ inent In law and politics for some time. It is not generally kiiown that Judge Grosscup once lived in the sam? congressional district with President McKinley when the latter was mak­ ing his reputation in congi’css. In fact, Maj. McKinley was nominated for congress by the brilliant lawyer, who stumped the district for the success of the republican candidate. Mr. Gross­ cup hlraself was twice a candidate for congresa in Ohio, and was well known in that state as a republican orator. The judge was born at Ashland, Ohio, in 1852. He is a graduate of W ltten- JUDGE GROSSCUP. berg college, and his early law read­ ing was done in the office of Judge Thomas of Boston. He is an enemy of labor unions and has issued many injunctions against them. Tbe transport Meade left Santiago Thursday with tho N inth Im m uaes bouuU^for New York.

Aii.‘itria, is the town in which to have the per­ formance enacted. Some time ngo a Boston gentleman had his w.Ttcb, a valuable gold one, and a sum of money stolen from him while In that city. He offered $50 reward for the ropov- ery of the property. The watch tlid not appeal’, and on returning to Amer­ ica he left his name and address and the number of his watch, together with the amount of the reward, with the police. A short time ago tl»e gen­ tleman received his watch, together with the reward intact, and a polite note from the director, saying that it was against the rules for policemen to receive UKfeey rewards; of course if a civilian' had recovered the watch the rew ard would have been paid. The only charge was lifty cent.s. the ex­ pense of transporting tbe watcli from New York to Boston. The thief had been arrested in Vienna, the wnteh had been found upon him aud for- war4ed by the city government of Vienna free of charge to New Yorij. There is a degree of innocence about the Vienna police tbat suggests odious comparisons. The Austrian government has an order that hereafter no unirinni.s shall appear on tho etnge in tltnt country that have any reseniMnnoe to those used in tho Austrian army and civil service. The directtirs of tho Vienna theatres havo protested against the order.

Previous to the war the iron industry in this State was a much bigger thing than it is now. It is a little surprising that capital and enterprise has been so slow in torning to the de­ velopment of the well-known ii-on- orebedisof this State. On th'eCar- 'Ailba Oetitral road, thirty miles W ^t of Charlotte, is a station named Erei.

Mr. Stephen Noble, mana­ ger of the Greensboro plant, says that the ore' from the Chatham mines is of the same quality exact­ ly as that which is supplied to the Anniston, Ala. furnaces, and he Bays that there is no limit to the supply. It ruiis 53 per cent. o!f ifoh. The first ore run through the Greensboro furnaces was an aver­ age grade of browu hematite. The company s ta ^ ' out with four runs %, ttay of thirtyi five tons for each run. North Carolina has done woh- ders in the development of the tex­ tile industry. She has iron ore beds to correspond in opportunities with her cotton field, and thei-e is no reason why the State may not become as famous in a few years for her blast furnaces as she is for her cotton mills. News continues to come in al­ most daily of the building of new mills and additions to old ones. The Tarboro Cotton Mills. W . B.

He will build a brick iu the future. Its sole object is or­ ganization for the improvement and proteetion ef Southern textile interests. The^reat power-plant investment at the falls of the Yadkin, in Stanly county, previously noted in this cofi-espondeuoe, is rapidly getting on its feet, and is beginning to at­ tract the attention that was pre­ dicted for it. There was at no time anything visionary about the scheme, but the public was slow to believe that the development had ig, two stories, to be- knowiV tomake them hiss and. snub a man anything Uke $5,000,000 capital who holds a commission under Republican president.

That there is no love between the Norwegians and Swedes is 'demon* etated by the fact that a party of the former hissed, hooted and snowballed the Crown Prince of .Sweden at Christiana a short time since. The people of Norway and Sweden seem to have lost eight of the fact that in unity there is strength.

The growth of orchard interests in this country and the increasing esports of American apples to foreign maikets are suffi­ ciently important to n'arrant comserted effort in the dii-ections indicated by the new association, and the formation of that body is a token that the grow­ ers are at last beginning to realize that orchard products are among the most profitable cf the farmers* crops. ■ An event in the history of communi­ cation ^y electricity that will be mem­ orable is the success of wireless tele­ graphy across the English Channel.

Contrary to the rule in many States, the Pennsylvania law does net specify closing hours.

Chablesion, s . C., SpeciaL—With a spirited, .and at times a stormy ses­ sion, the ninth annual reunion of the Confederate veterans waa on Friday brought to a close. General John B. Gordon, commander-in-chief, and all the old officers, were re-elected. Louis­ ville, Ky., was chosen as the next place of meeting and tbe question of Federal care of Confederate graves waa disposed of by the adoption of a sub­ resolution which declines the Presi­ dent's suggestion except as to those graves located in the North, and re­ serving to the women of the South the duty of caring for those in the seceding States, and Maryland. The adoption of this resolution and the report that accompanied it precipitated a debate which verged npon the sensational, and at times much confusion and dis­ order prevailed. At night at the auditorium, a grand reception to tbe veterans was held and an address delivered by Col. Henry Xi. Turner, of Chicago, commanding the First Illinois Begiment, who haa been the guest of the city during tbe re­ union. A brilliant ball was given at the Isle of Palms to the sponsors, maids of honor and Daughters of the Con­ federacy. The veterans and visitors rapidly departed aiid the ninth reunion of the men who wore the gray was practically at an end. Tbe convention was opened at 10:30 o’clock, With the singing of the Boxo- loey, which was followed by prayer by the Bev. Dr. S. P. H. Elwell, of Sonth Carolina. General Gordon introduced General M. L. Bonham, of South Carolina Sons of VeteranSf who delivered an ad­ dress. He waa followed by Mr. Kirk, commander of thB trans-Mississippi department His remarks were of the nature of a eulogy of the Confederate soldiers. General Gordon then prestnt- ed Bobert E. Lee, Jr., who was cheered to the echo by the assembly. General S. D. Lee presented the re­ port of the committee on history, which was unani!paoaBly adopted. This was one of the most important matters be­ fore the convention, and the reading of the report was listened to with close at­ tention. The report alluded to the war with Sp.ln as a factor in obliterating the shadows of tbe war between tbe States, and refers fo the prompt re­ sponse of the Soathern States to the call for troops as showing the whole country the depth and fervor of the Southern patriotism. Alluding to the question of Confed­ erate graves, the report says: “The recent generous words of President McKinley, commending the Confeder­ ate dead to tbe nation’s care, are the expression of a sentiment growing everywhere, that the deeds of the Con­ federate soldier are the glory of the whole country, and that hia memory is worthy to be cherished wherever self- sacrifice commands sympathy or brave actions strike aresponsive cord in noble hearts. ” The committee recommends that an effort be made to banish from the schools any books which teach false lessons, either in fact or sentiment, and to this end suggests the appoint­ ment of a committee of three members in each State, whose duty it ahull be to examine school histories there in, use. In discussing the report, Dr. J, L. M. Curry, of Virginia, discussed the right of secession, and defended the course of the South as constitutional, and then denounced mob rule and lynchings in unmeasured terms. Among tbe resolationa adopted was one characterizing as mere fiction the statements made by a distinguished Southern lecturer that the Confederato authcrities were remiss in not improv­ ing the opportunity at the famoas Hampton Boads conference, when Lincoln met the Southern commission in an effort to arrange terms of peace. The convention then proceeded to the selection of a city for the reunion of 1900. Louisville, Ky., and Norfolk, Va., aeemed to be the only active can­ didates. It was soon evident that the Kentucky city was in the lead, and the selection was made unanimous. A reso­ lution of'thanks to tbe city of Charles­ ton was passed, and at 2:15 the conven­ tion adjourned, sine die. The Bicycle Trust. Tbbnton, N.

The changes are more rapid and more radical. Old FrankUn college, within whose unpretending walls I walked and studied and expanded my youthful mind, haa grown to be an university and we old men are straining our minds to keep up with tbe new order, the widening of mental and physical training which is now offered to onr boys. Time was when we thought that Dr. Church and Professors McKay, Waddell, Leconte, Jackson, Ste­ vens, Hull anp Nahum Wood knew all tha* was worth knowing in this sublunary world; when there was no higher honor than to be a Phi Kappa or a Domosthenian orator or to be chosen as a junior ora­ tor of one of these societies. Time was when to be io love with a lovely Athens girl was in itself a liberal edu­ cation, for they were fair to look upon, refined in manners and fascinating in conversation. There were only a score or two of them then, and they had the pick of 160 students, young men of tbo best families of Georgia and her sister States, and half a hundred new ones coming in every year. Just think of it; what a blessing to girls is the proxi­ mity of a male college or a universitv. But by and by there comes along a fe­ male collego in the same town or city and then the boys have an (qual chance. My visits to this claaaic city have been few and far between. I do not suppose there is a soul living here now who was here in 1834. My parcLta and my brother and I stopped over night at the old Sledge hotel as we joarneyed fromBo&toa to Georgia in a carriage. We went to Boston by tea from Savannah, but came back all tbe way by land in a private carriage and never crossed a railroad. There was none to cross. My next visit was elev­ en years later, when I came to enter the sophomore class. Two mules at tandem pulled our little car from Un­ ion Point forty miles to Athens. There were common passengers below and a score of uncommon ones on top for they were college boys, and as such preferred to ride high jaat ad col* lege.boys do now. With what fear and trembling' we went through the examination that waa to determine our fate whether we were fitteu to enter or only fitten to get fitten. It was a thrilling and momentous ordeal, but we survived it. What awful majesty appeared in Dr. Church’s classic feefc- nres and in the quick glances of his dark and piercing eyes. He was from New England, and after he came south married a sister of our Judge Trippe,a beantiful woman and the mother of five of the moat beantiful daughters ever seen in one family. They were queenly. These yanked schoolteachers ail muted with our southern girls and didn’t mind owning a few negroes aoy more than so many horses or cows es­ pecially if they came with the wife’s patrimony. Old Judge Warren got his that way, bot it ont him off from hisyankee relations. Nathaniel Be* man was another distinguished yan- kee teacher, but whether he becamu a slave owner or not I have not learned. My father was a yankee school teacher, but didn’t get any slaves by marriage, ne ounguv au.^., in/.*c«v., and that created a coolness among his no;:lbeni kindred. It took those yankees a locg time to acquiesce in slavery unless they oftme down South. Old Bill Steward tritd to marry a Putnam county girl who had about a bnndred, and becaase she would I’t have him he went back North and ra-s- ed a bowl about slavery. t>osia^ Meigga, auother Connecticut yauket. and a grandson of Beturn Jonathni Meigga was the first prt’sident of this college and held his place for twelve jrais. I thiuk that he, too, married a Sonlhern girl—a sister ol Governor John Forsyth. Next came Moses Waddell, an educator of great renown. He married a sister of John C. Calhoun and educated him and Le* gare and Pettigrew and other notable men before be became president. Af­ ter that he had for bis pupils many of the great men of Georgia, including Stephens, Toombs. Howell Cobb, John­ son, George Pierce and the Crawfords. And there were giants in those days. Some folks saj there are just as great men now, but there are so many more of them that they have become com mon and do not attract so much atten< tion. Maybe so—yes, maybe so. Tbe poet says, “I feel like one who treads alone some banquet hall desert­ ed,** and Bo do I when viewing these classic halls and meandering in the shade of these classic trees. All of my preceptors savo one hava passed over the river. Ail my college-matef> save perhaps a dozen have followed them, and if Swedenborg divined the iatnre state correctly they are goingto school again in ano'^her world.

Fond memory recalls the Churches, Daw­ sons, Ferrells, Howards and Boling Stovall, whom I loved, and there wat- the gentle Hen?y Timrod, who was as lovable as a timid school girl. How often did we see him brushing the dew from off the upland lawn alone or taking his evening strolls without a eompanioo, but alays kind and gentle.

Select a good piece of land, not too rich, as its will lodge badly on a very fertile ooil. Break as early as possi­ ble, .-preteiably sod, and as soon as all danfeer of frost is over. Prepare thor­ oughly by harrowing and dragging or roiling, but never rebreak. Then have th>3 seed perfectly citan. I prefer the rtd top varietyof sorghum. For seed­ ing I use an ordinary eightor nine hoc i-heat drill, and stop up all the hoes escept the second one from the outside o'i each cud. Set the drill to sow (oout one-half bushel of wheat pet ‘,pre. You may think the crop will bo toi Ihiu, but if your seed is good, time rill prove that it is all right. Com­ mence on one side and drill back and forth, as in sowing wheat, except that ihe wheel must ran about ten inches from the other wheel track, instead of in the last hoe track, as in sow­ ing wheat. I prefer sowing east and west, as the crop shades the ground and keeps it moist. Cultivate the same as corn, keeping down all weeils and grass while it is small. Commence feeding as soon as it is in bloom and feed as long as it lasts. Cat it close to the grouud and feed it either as it leaves tho field or cut into two-inch lengths and feed in that condition. Cut each day only what you want to feed that day, and if yoo take it to the barn, don’t lay it "down, but set it up, as otherwise it will heat rapidly. If you out it shorter than two inches the stalks will get crosswise in the cow’s mouth and make it sore. When there is danger of frost, cut and shook the same as corn, and you can feed it until Chi istmas. I don’t think it a good plan to feed after that time, as tbe stalks have gen­ erally begun to sour. I feed it to hogs, horses and cattle, and all get fat. There is nothing bet­ ter than a Held of sorghum to help out pastures iu the fall until you want to put your stock into winter quarters. The seed makes one of the veiy best feeds for poultry. I have been rais­ ing it for a number of years, and I be­ lieve I can get .as much feed from one acre of sorghum as 1 cau from two acres of the hest corn. Where you first commence catting your cane it will sprout up very rapidly, bnt don’t let your catlle get to it, as it has been known to kill them.—J. Smith, in the American Agriculturist. Green ?luTinr}n(; atul Ii«ltros:4*n. The nitrogen of the soil is the only one of its valuable constitaeuts which is subject to serious loss by natural agencies. Whatever the form in which nitrogen is applied to tbe soil, whether in farm-yard manure, iu dried blood, in ground fish, grouud bone, tankage, cottonseed meal, sulphate of ammonia, or nitrate of soda, it sooner or later is eo changed by natnr.al agencies as to become soluble and in this form the soil cannot hold it. \Yith heavy rains it is dissolved in the downward sink* ing Tvater, aud with.it is carried ulti­ mately into the streams and rivers and to the ocean. Kono of the other valuable elementj? of plant food arc subject to this loss by leaching to anywhere nearthesarae extent. This loss of nitrogeu can be prevented in a large measure by tho growth of green manuring crops. The agencies of nature which convert nitro­ gen into the soluble form are most active during tbe later summer months. At the close of summer there is com­ monly present in all fertile soils a large quantity of nitrogen in soluble form. If the field be left bare during the Butumu, winter aud early spring this soluble nitrogen will be washed out of the soil. The only practical method of preventing this is to cover the field with a growing crop. For this purpose those crops which grow late into the fall will be found best, although even those which are killed by autuainf.l frosts will before tlieir death have taken a considerable share of this soluble nitrogen out of the soil. It will have become a part of the vegetable tissue. In such form it is not soluble aud will not be sub* ject to waste until this vegetable tis­ sue rots, as it will do with the advance of the warmer weather of the follow­ ing season. It should be the aim of the farmer to leave his fields bare just as little as possible. Keep tbe fields covered, keep the soil filled with feed­ ing rootlets of growing plants. These hungry rootlets will take up nitrogen w^hich would otherwise be lost. It will be locked tip iu vegetable tissues ftnd safely kept to meet the demands of the growing crop of the next sea son. Green manuring, then, may be made an important means of saving or conserving soil nitrogen.—Prof. W. P. Brown, in Orange Judd Farmer. When Sraokinc Wnt a Crime.

Secret of the Boad BnildiDff Axt. Henry I. Budd, the State Commis> Bioner of Fablio Boads of New Jersey, has issued an Annual report for ISiiS that is a powerful sermon in favor of road building, and that should con­ vert even the farmers of Bergen Connty to a belief in the value of good, hard thoroughfares pr(^erly maintained. The report is adorned with hand­ some views on the “before and after" pattern. They show the hog wallows through which Jerseymen had todriv€ formerly and the macadamized pave* ments that they enjoy now. Under the “aid law,” the State paya one-third of the coat of improving roads,-if certain provisions aie com. plied with by the county. This law in 1898 gave New Jersey 8i§ miles of new, good roads. The method of building nowadays is not an expensive foundation of large stones. .Experience has shown that the earth, properly drained, is as good a foundation as can be bad, and the principal construction in the State has been resolved into roads four, six and eight inches deep. These aie built at a cost of from twenty to seventy cents a square yard, with an average of from fifty to sixty cents. The con­ tract price of stone roads ranges from $3000 to $5000 per mile and grave) roads as low ob S1400. In building, the State favors a sys­ tem of continuous avenues, and now possesses a nearly completed line from Atlantic City to Jersey City. Farmers arc finding out the benefits of good roads, which formerly they opposed on account of the cost. In Gloucester County teams that with bad roads carried only forty to fifty baskets of vegetables or fruit now carry 130 to 175. So bad were the roads that much produce had to go to market by boat. By using his own team and cai'ting an average load of 150 baskets the farmer now saves SIO per day on freight and incidentals, and about §6 to a commission mer­ chant, as, bringing in tho load him- self, he miarkets it himself. All the Gloucester farmers have withdrawn their objections to good roads. This principle applies throughoutthe State. The novel proposition of Secretary Wilson, of the Agricultural Depart­ ment, to lay down fiat steel rails for wagon roads is favorably commented on. They would give the farmers smooth and hard roads at all times of the year. The material costs about 82000 a mile for long distances, and fur ordinary country roads at fifty tons per mile the cost neei not exceed 31000. the expense of grading and laying to be added. “Successful farming depends upon good roads,’* says the report. “A farmer should ship from a farm of 120 acres at least 150 tons annually. To haul this to market on a good wagon would require, at six tons a day, twenty-five days. Allowing S3 a day for the team and man, the cost of this transportation wou3d be 373. Upon on average poor road it would take seventy-five days for one team and a man to hauUhis piioduce, which, at §3 per day, would amount to 3225. It would then cost S150 more to carry ^ the annual products of this , farm over j a poor road than over a good road. Here is where the money goes.” A. J. Cassatt is quoted as saying that the cost of maintaining a good macadam road under the wear of rural traffic is not over $10 per mile yearly. Trap rooks, it is said, where obtainable, should al(vays be used iu road making, as they are harder aud tougher than the best of other roeks. A protest is made against the high­ ways being used by trolley lines. In­ stead of going upon the wagon roads Hr. Budd thinks the companies should obtain their own right of way like steam railroads. The time is rapidly approaching, Mr. Budd thinks, when the automo­ bile will take the place of the horse and bicycle in New Jersey. This ac­ centuates the necessity of covering the country roads with macadam, 'which will not be destroyed as with the picking of the horse’s feet and the hard tire of the ordinary wagon wheel, but made smooth by the pressure of the rubber tire. Dirt roads, the report says, are the most expensive. Petroleum is sug­ gested as a good application to sup­ press dust, aud by excluding water to keep the road good in wet and dry w’eather. Steam rollers are advised instead of those propelled by horse. Tires six inches wide are advised in­ stead of the regular one inch and a half, the draught power needed beicg less and the wear of the roads less. This is a fact not generally known, but shown to be so by experiments. I Paying Double Prices s Machines, Or^nns and Pianos.

It is an interesting announcement of groat oomraercial significance that a corporation of this country, which In­ cludes bridge building among Its ac­ tivities, hjfS received a contract from the British government for the con- strnction of a bridge in tlie Soudan. That the engineering necessities of General Kitcbener In the region where he ha?, after a long and ‘expensive campaign, avenged the death of Gen­ eral Gordon, should receive support from tho Iron and steel industry of this couniry Is an incidental bit of evi­ dence of the-forceful competition in manufactured products which the United States has put forward in tha niarUots of the world with Great Brit­ ain. This occurrence is the more re- inarlialile since it is in territory con- ciuered by British arms, with allied Kgyptlau forces, that this bridge of Aiuorican design and material Is to be crected. Stars on the coins ot the United States are six-pointed. Those on the flag have five points. The hog Is coming out prominently as aniaidor and abettor of the farmer In his desire for higher prices for his milk, says the Xew York Commercial Advetiser. The Milk Producers’ As­ sociation—an association of farmers, not of cows—declare?; that larmers do not get enough for their milk, receiv­ ing only one aud a half cents a quart The association proposes, unless it can get a cent more a eiuart, lo make its milk into cheese ai.O to feed the skim milk to hogs and calves, aud thus bring the city to terms, while dispos­ ing of its production at a profit until such terms are come to. -The price to the farraer does not ^eem exorbitant, but tlie helh of the calf and the hog will be required to wring It from the pockets of the city milkmen, who in turn w'ill probably get it from the con- Bumer in one way or another.

When a railway companynndertakes to extend its tracks, or to put in a switch, or do any other work of this sort, the first thing tlone is to have their engineer—an educated and trained specialist—prepare the plans, set the stakes, and superintend the job. They never trust a booby; they do not trust even an experienced road- master, except with expert super­ vision. When our county commis­ sioners are charged with the care of a road, they push the responsibility on to some ignorant pike commissioner, Don't Tobarco S;tlt »nd SmoVe Tnnr I.ife To ouit tobacco easily and forercr, be tnag nciic. fnll of life, narvo and vigor, taltc No-To- IJac. the w.inclcr-worUer, that mates weak men stroLg.

A few seconds later he was standing on the exposed root of the tree hardly a yard from my eyes, t lay motionless aud examined the beautiful cres^tare minutely, till sud­ denly I found myself stariiig at tbe smooth greenish-gray root of the maple with no weasel in sight. Judging from my own experience, I should tay that* this is the usual termination of any chance observation of either weasels or minks. Occasionally they may be seen to dart Into the brushes or behind some log or projecting plank, but much more frequently they vanish with a sudden- hess that defies the keenest eyesight In all probabnity this vanishnig is accomplished by exti*eme repidity of motion, but if this is the case then the creature succeeds la doing something titterly impossible to any other w’arm- blooded animal of its size. Mice, tqulrrels, and some of the smaller birds are all of them swift enough at times, but except in the case of the humming bird none of them succeed in accom­ plishing the result achieved by the weasels—W.

The long-expecred call had come at last To be sure, the camp was In plain sight of the Captain’s residence, which was some mitigation of the hardship, but then It was still a separ­ ation; and to lighten this terrible con­ dition It w’as arranged that the be­ reaved husband and w'ife should sig- nal to each other often W'ith handker­ chiefs. It was on the second day that the young wife was seated on the porch reading. “Tell me, Jane,’ she said, “is Arthur still signalling?” “Yes, ma’am,” answered the maid. “Then keep waving your handker­ chief. I w’ant to finish this novel.” At the same moment in camp an of­ ficer from an adjoining company stepped up to the Captain. ‘•I say, old man,” he aslced, “why do you keep that man out there all day w.*iving a handkerchief?” “Oh. it’s merely a bit of signal code practice for him,” he anjwered.—Cin­ cinnati Enquirer. 6 R E E N S B O R O , N .C .

A community is not likely to get rich while its roads are poor. The farmers ot Missouri have organ­ ized improved roads committees in every county in the State. : Highways which are rendered im­ passable by ordinary rains—and there are many ot them—are not fit to bo called roads. The businessmen of Bacyrus, Ohio, have organized for the . purpose of Tho Indian financial statem ent Just issued shows that in the last fiscal year tiiere was a deficit of nearly 519.- (100,0 0 0 , owing to tbe decrease In taxes caused by the plague and famine. For the present .vear, however, a sui-plus of $15,000,000 Is estimated, and for next year nearly as much. The re­ mittance to be sent to England this year as India’s contribution - to the royal cofCers will be the highest on adopting a system of improving the , record, roads in that vicinity. The Mercantile Club of “Wyandotte County, Kansas, recently passed reso­ lutions favoring good road laws, and will work for the same at this aessioD of the Legislature. The Grand Bapids (Mich.) Herald, very pertinently observes that the Board of Trade of that city could con­ sistently take a hand in the good roads An LxiM Session ol Con^rt.^s. WASHisaTON, D. 0.

The consumption of iron is not erratic, but steady. It is not a case of wiring dry bones or galvanizing dead frogs. There has been no scheming or conspiracy to force mattera Or to pour brandy} down the throat of demand. The! situation is clearly one of conditions that are neither artificial nor acro­ batic. For reasons behind the i present movement it has become a sharply-cut fact that a hunger for iron and steel is posessing the | world, and so strongly that present! production can scarcely keep pace] with demand. There has been no ' ; snch like condition in any year of the last decade, when the markets of the world were so eager for iron and so indifferent as to pricea.

F rank Kash, E?(j., of Hillsboro, furnishes the following argument from his standpoint, of the grand father clause, or “ lineal ancestor” section of the proposed Constitution­ al Amendnieut in reg-ard to the Iwariug which the 15th Amend­ ment of the tXmstitution of the U n­ ited States, iu his opinion, will bear thereupon. Introdnetion.—^This discnssion is one purely of constitutional law. It is entitled to more consideration than the strength of the argument gives it. 1 know that men of abili­ ty and character do not i-CToh the sa .ne conclusion lh:itl do. Of course th»'.se gentlemen are actuated b.v perfect integrity of purpose. I think they are mistaken; and. as I com I'it my rcii^ons for for so think­ ing to writing. I cannot refrain from demandin.? that the tribute whi'ih I have paid to their integritj' of purpose, shall be paid ILkewise to nine. As, however, the concliision that I rcach is unpopular. 1 think, I owe what follows to myself; certainly that much, if not more. All my sympathies are with the better class |of jieople in Xorlh ('aroliua, who desire the purillcat ion of the ballot by an educalion:!l,propert.V or tax­ paying qnalilication, or by any, or all of them. But the reason formy sympathy is this: A 1 )emocraoy is mo .-ed to I’adical actiou only by ap- peiils to its piejndiites and pns- sious. W hen thus aroused, it hiis no previsionand liltl-.i memory. It is rej^ardless of the future ami for­ getful of the past. It has its own shoi-J-sighted resisous for its pres­ ent iicliou. and tliese, to it, are all sulBoing. lusuper.ible barriers make it fret and fume in inipo- tc’it wralh, lash both (he barriers and il'^^lf. Tl’c u’rikcrs of our eonsti- tufious, Fedctml and ^?late, under­ stood the weakness as well as the strength of Democi-acy. innch bet­ ter than our modern anostte of the ^ people, si> t ie\ m,i(., h;, ^^ould bethe citizens pro to vote shall not be denied or abridg- law is enacted which acts equally ed by the United Sta:tes, or by any upon all races and coloi^ and re­ state on account of race, color or ^rd less of their previoSs condition previous condition of servitude.” in restricting the suffrage, that law It is incorporated in onr supreme is constitutional notwitliKtnnfUno- law, and there are few intelligent white men in North Carolina, who 1----------i-^ - - to sustainhave not taken an oath it. 1. W ho are the citizens of the United States of the fifteenth a- meudmentf. The fourteenth a- meudinent answere: “ A ll persona born or naturalized in the United States—:ind subject to the jiu-isdic- tion of the same are citizens of the Uuite<l States and of the State wherein thej' .reside.” AVe need not go outside of North Carolina for a defiinition which is as ac­ curate if not so broad. Says Judge Giiston: “The term citizen as un­ derstood in onr country, Ls precise­ ly analygous to the term subject to the common law. and thechange of phraseology has entirely resulted from tUe change- of government. The sovereignty has beentrasferred from one man to the collective body of the people and he who was before a subject of the king, is now a citizen of the State.” To meet hypercriticism, I remark just here that I know both of the above deii- nilions include women and that the Supreaie (b u rt of the United States has made one oftheminclude corporations and, I thiuk,very nat­ urally and very properly so,ihough there are very strong arguments to the contrary. Further, that wom­ en, may vote and do vote iu some States, is, itself evidence that the term •‘citizens” of the fifteenth amendment means the same thing as the term “ eitizens” of the four­ teenth amendment, so far as politi­ cal privUeges are concernEd. No one, would contend, I suppose,t'.ial the ballot might be conferred upon the white women of the State with­ out, conferring it likewise cutlieue gro women. This would make a discrimination by reason of raije, so would offend against the fifteenth amendment. V/hyl I!e-?anse the constitutional notwithstanding the fact that it disfranchises a gi-eater number of blacks than Whitts, or whites than blacJiS.This principle,however, does not extend so far as to permit the State to es­ tablish a merely arbitrary qualifi­ cation, though it does not in terms import a discrimination by rea.son of races, etc.,if in fact and in truth it is such discrimination. Courts cannot clo.se tlieir eyes to the his­ tory of this country. Indeed, in construing constitutional questions, they are bound to take judicial no- 1 Supreme Court Beports. I need i only cite Judge Harlan’s discussion in Mugler vs. Kansas: ‘-Thecourts are not bound by mere forms, nor are they to be misled by mere pre­ tence. They arc at liberty,indeed, are under a solumn duty—to look at the substance of things whenever they enter upon au enquiry wheth­ er the ^legislature has transcended the limits of its authority.” ^ th atitm ay b e considered, certain that the court isconstruiug this sec­ tion will disregard forms and look at the substance of things. It is said further that under this section some whites, not education­ ally qualified will still be disfran­ chised. But how infinitessimally ticcofit. The negro as a class w as' small is their number compared lers so strong that they could with­ stand all the angry waves of popn- Lir exeiteiuent while providing in­ side the harbor a calm and serene haven. Now it is a fact that one tef:ted by the fifteenth amendment The further discussion will make this point plain. 2- W hat citizens are protect ei’ oftlie signs of the ti:nes, is popular! *>y this amendment in the exerciw restiveness ag:iinst the restraints of 1 ‘1*“ f™uchise!

As a class, neither he nor his forefather.s could vote before January 1, 38GV. Is there any other class in North Car­ olina who could fill the bill that that section 5 describes so well as the negroes! Ig there any other class for whom section 3 was enact­ ed! The previous sections of the pi-ojiosed suffrage provisions are plainly constitutional. All of the dc,signated class are disfranchised regardless of race, color prcrious c>nditi(m. That class includes quite a large number of white men as well as negroes, whose education does not qualify them to vote. Then section 5 is added- Why? Simply to rc;novct!ie eduKitional qualifi­ cation theretofore imposed upon all white void's, Icavin; it still effec­ tive against the negro voters. That is what tl:e section does and that is what it was intende 1 lo do. There is no coucealnieiit of its purpo.se by its authors. Pection was in­ tended to disfranchise as many ne­ groes as pos.siblj ami uot a single 'vliite man if possible. And the meaning of this section cannot be hidden to a court, that has common -■ieuse, by a paraph rastical designa­ tion of a class which isdts'gned to f ivor at tin ex e .so of Ihe 1 f-.eenth amendment and the expense of a c!:iss which the fifteenth amenr- ment protei'ts iu direct (erms. Sec- tioii .') is an exception in both Sir. Ronniree's and JIa.vor (iulhrle’s arguments. So section .5 might as ■V ell have been incorporated in sec­ tion 4 as an express exception to its provisions. Putting it down in plain terms as an excepthm to sec­ tion -I and om niitliugallparaphr f os, would not section t read thi s. E . ery person presenting hiaiself for regislralion, except him who Wiis. ou January 1st S 7, or at any lime prior thereto enlilled to vote nder the laws, etc., any leuieal descendant of aby person who was entitle 1 as afore-Siiid to vote under the laws, etc.” Does not this form a class and segregiite it by reason of its ra<!C, c«lor and former con­ dition of servitude? If it does not. then the Legislature has failed in carrying out the intention, which ;t has frequently both before and since the passage of the constitu­ tional act, announced. It it does, then it is obnoxious to the fifteenth amendment. That amend nent was never iutended to secure more than equality of privilege in voting. It C(mfers upon neither whiteor black spe<aal e.xcmptiim from disqualifica­ tion. It says simply to the State that in making your classes, you are free, provi<led your chrssifica- tion makes u6'. istinction. in reali­ ty, on account of racc color or pre­ vious c/)u<lition of servitude. Ev­ erybody knows that the Federal Cou.stitutioii is the Supreme law' of theliiu l. Everybody knows that such itlicial oath is a recognition of tliis fact. Indee l, the proposed suflrage am 'niii.eit incorporates this oath iu its provisions. Shall we like Virginius, let out the life bl(M)d of the Federal Constitution with one hand, while with the oth­ er, v. e support it! T..et ua, liowcv- er, examine some of the arguments on the other side. First. It is s;iid that if the pro- pc.sed suffrage provisi(m does not on its face discriminate agiiinst a race ti e conrts have nothing to do w ith the t'.iscrimination which re- with those whites from the disquali ication is remo’ e ll is a mere minor incident in the great controUing purpose and efl^t of this section, to allow the white man disqualifiedly educationally to vote, while the negro so disquali­ fied shall not. Ah! b n t.^ y tte j. the white was segreggated into a class by himself from his race, and his former freedom from He may exercise the fi-anehise there fore, because better prepared for it, than his negro c o n f r e r e of the same ‘C , educa'tionally.

The latest article of export from this country to Europe is river shells • for the manufacture of peail but­ tons. The manufacture of the cheaper grades of pearl buttons by factories located in Iowa and Wiscon­ sin has of late years almost entirely done away vith the importation of such goods. Some three yeurs^ago the supply of shells was so largely in­ creased that the price fell froiqS^O to $8 a ton, ami European manufafturers are reported as saying that the*Amer­ ican shells are superior to an|ything that can be obtained on the othrr side at the prices at which they can «e im- pCH:ted.

The associa­ tion of boys and girls in their stij^ies is proper. It cures the girls of Nfucy- ism, it cures the boys of bashfrLness; it gives to each a better undei'siand- ing of the other and heightens T'espect. It creates something of a itudions rivalry, for no boy wants to be beaten in his recitations by a girl, and no girl has o mispride in beati ig the boy.

He has shone as a ruler, as a n ilitary organ­ izer, as a painter, as a composer of music, aud has insisted n his right to be considered a prelate '! the church. In going a step furthernnd inventing a new mustache, he hr< the support of the illustrious prece leut. His royal uncle, the Prince of Wales, proved his vastness of inteIle‘Hual resource at one time by setting every man in England to wearing a beaid the shape of half a salad spoon; and in the third Najjoleou’s day a loyal Frenchman would have as readily gone barefoot to the opera as he would have failed to • wax aud elongate his mustache and “goatee” into an isosceles tiianglesof stilettoes.---■! ■ ■ The state department at Washing­ ton is in receipt of an edict issued in February by the Empress Dowager of China commanding the suppression ol outbreaks of violence against Chris­ tians in many provinces of the empire. Among other things, the empress says: “Wetreat the preachers of all religions as good citizens, and no prejudice is tolerated. Though each has a distinct doctrine, the common aim is to induce people to be good. All evil and crime are not only prohibited by our laws, but are also prohibited by the Chris­ tian religion.” This certainly sounds well, but concerning the sincerity of the empress_iji--denwiD»ag crime we ^mnst withhold judgment pehding the fate of the imprisoned young emperor, whose death by slow poison is so con­ fidently predicted._________ These many years the writers of railroad stories have diligently incul­ cated the theory that the locomotive engine is not a thing, but a creature; that it has likes and dislikes; will go for one man and not for another; and that the tie between it and its driver is a quasi-sacred thing not to be med- . died with without good reason. Ther« has also been a theory among me­ chanics that a locomotive needs peri­ ods of rest between trips, like a horse. Two railroads—St. Paul and Atchison —have defied both of these theories, and propose to run their locomotives on much longer trips than has been customary, changing enginemen at proper intervals, aud having one suc­ ceed another bn the same machine, ^’hey propose, too, it seems, to keep tLeir engines at work as steadily as po&sible as long as they are fit to go. Thei*' plans will tend to break up much of the intimacy between the driver and his machine, but if the breakage ' n^^^/m'ther than that, the plan will doubtless keep in use.

The Beserves will be armed with Lee magazine rifies of the very latest patern. They already have a large Hotchkiss gun. The appro­ priation last year was less than one- half of what it is this year.

An Important Gathering of Mill Men at Charlotte, The third annual session of the Southern Cotton Spinners’ Association met in Charlotte last Thursday. There were over 100 prominent cotton mill men in attendance, represinting every section of the South, while a number of commission men from Northern cit­ ies were alxo present. About fifty new members were elected. This was one of the most snccessfnl and largely attended convention yet held by the Association. The meeting was called to order by President D. A. Tompkins, who ad­ dressed the Association as follws: *'An association of mannfacturere should be founded upon the basis of a sentiment expressed by Bobert Y. Hayne, who speaking upon the subject of a newBailroad said: “ ‘I know of nothing except the Christian religion that can be com­ pared with the influence of a free so­ cial and commercial intercourse for softening asperities, removing preju­ dices, extending knowledge and pro­ moting human happiness/ “The purpose of this association is to promote free social and commercial intercourse. It is no part of its pur­ pose to undertake any sort of control of the business of its members. Whatever actions may be taken will relate to general subjects as for ex­ ample, freight rates, export trade, and such like subjects. Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade exist in all parts of the world to bring about co-operation of special manu­ facturing interests for the general benefit of the interests represented. These organisations do not undertake to control businesses of individuals or corporations, and yet legislative bod­ ies in this country and abroad confer with these organizations as to proper legislation relating to trade and man­ ufacturers. At the afternoon session the follow ing officers were elected for the en­ suing year: President—Dr« J. H. McAdcn,Char­ lotte. Vice President—J. P. Verdery, Au­ gusta, Ga. Secretary and Treasurer—George B. Hiss, Charlotte. Mr. E. H. Sanborn, representing the Nationar Manufacturers’ Aesocia- tion, delivered a lecture before the Spinners* Association. He told how the United States are rap­ idly extending their export trade to all parts of the world, and saiit that a gain of $20,000,000 had been made in onr commerce dur­ ing the past year. Mr. Sanborn said this country is now rapidly approach­ ing Great Britain in her commercial interests abroad. He showed steriop- tican pictures of the goods on exhibi­ tion by the Association in Caracas, Venezuela, as well as the foreign ports in which the United States trade is extending. The convention then, after some routine business, adjourned. A banquet was held at the Central Hotel, at which 200 mill men were present. An unusually large attendance at the Teachers’ Assembly atMorehead City, June 13-18, is predicted by State Su­ perintendent of Public Instruction Mebane, who is deeply interesting himself in the matter. The State printers have begun the the delivery of the laws and Senato journals of 1899. Suit has been brought in Burke Superior Court by Jacob W’. Deal against J. D.

Bill Lone, who went to Cuba with the First North Carolina Begiment, has presented Sherifi' McDowell, of Burke county, with a fine specimen of the Cuban knife.

Some I wrote to onr yankee frienda that if they were gentlemen they woald apolo­ gize for all they dona to asduring that devilish letter on the line and that was from a native born federal soldier who said he was friendly and that if I would write ont an apology and send it to him he wonld sign it. He seemed to be properly repentant. And now comes to this editor of The New York Herald down here to investigate our lynching business and to philosophize upon it, and he says the north made e mistake in giving the negro the right of suCfrBge, but he doeeent apologize. He was one of the prime leaders in the whole business and spetika of it as a mistake. It was no mistake. It was malicious ignorance, and why doesent he say so? It hus taken him and his folks thirty years to find out they knew but little about ua ani nothing about the negro. Senator Ingalls has got more sense and more candor. He Cdme down to Texas ten years ago to investigate and went home and wrote a letter in which he said the negro was not fit for the ballot and that the north had made nn egregrious blunder in giving it to him . He didn’t apologize, bnt he came pretty near it. Now, a mistake doesent involve any moral turpitude, bnt a malicious blunder does. The time has passed for any more truckling. The stage of desperation is upon the South and po­ litical humility to the North has pass­ ed. We have never f«lt that humility, but onr politicians have preached it and tried to get something from the public crib by pretending we were humble when we were not. The truth is that the North is re­ sponsible for every outrage and everj lynching at the South, Here is the Atlanta Age, a negro paper that is published by W. A. Pledger, that cop­ ies every venomous article from the New York papets about the Sam Hose buainess, and Pledger wJites to The New York Sun that he is shocked at Governor Candler’s utterances and he says the good negroes at the ^oath are opposed to these outrages on our wo­ men. The paper is pregnant with comment on the lynching. 1 reckon thatis all right, for the liberty of the press most not be restricted. Bnt nevertheless these utterances from Pledger'*s paper go throngL the edu­ cated negro element and settles its convictions and thereby comes some more outrages and some more lynch- ings. New York niggers come oat in their papers and advise the shotgun and the torch in retaliation, and those things are copied in the nigger papers at the South. But here is the comfort: Uncle Sam is still helping me in my garden and doesent know and doesent care any­ thing about all this business. He says he was born a slave and for thirty years has been a freeman and has al­ ways found that if a colored man done his duty the white man done his. Uncle Sam has a large family and through these Bepublican influences they have been corrupted and demor alized and he has a lot of grandchil dren who don’t know their own father and the old man is grieved. I was ruminating about all this and how thefre negroes have all been fooled about Grant and Liucoln being their friends aud were fighting to freo them, when there is not a word cf truth in It. Neither of them cared a continen­ tal dime for tbe negro and bo\h of them were more concerned about their own successes than anything else. But I have had great regard for Lincoln. He wa-i a miu-h better man than hiL party and his death was a calamity tc the South I have recently received a little volume entitled *'Tbe Genesis of Abraham Lincoln.” It is carefully and affectionately wiitten by James H. Cathey, of Western North Oaro- lina, and its unprejudioed perusal will convince any man that Abahan Lin* coin was the son of Abraham Ealoe, and that Nancy Hanks wa^ a good or­ phan girl who served in Eolde’s fam­ ily. The affidavits and other evide&oea establish this beyond dispute. Old Father Abraham Enloe was u second Abraham and poor Nancy H^nks a second Hager and for the same reason she was sent away from the paternal homeatead to keep peace iu the fam­ ily . The father of her child had great regard for her and placed her with his relatives in Kentucky, where she af­ terwards married Thomas Lincoln. Some of the witnesses to these facts are now ninety years old and 'Have passed all desire to deceive anybody. The descendants of this Enloe family are numerous and their tastimony has been taken from North Cixolina, Mis­ souri and Texas, and all confirm the story. All the very old people in North Carolina were familiar witb^the girl Nancy Hanks and the Enloe fam­ ily and old man Enloe’s acknowledg­ ment of the child’s paternity and why he sent this modern Hager and her Ismuel away. Bnt this is no new thing. During the war it was talked of in the army and Lincoln was denounced by the en­ tire Todd ^family, into which he mar­ ried, . Fifteen years ago, while I so­ journed in Western North Carolina, I found the story current that Abraham Lincoln was the son of Abraham En­ loe and was named for him by his mother, Nancy Hanks. Now, Mr. Cathey writes a pretty little book about it and his excuse is that the truth oannoi hurt the living or the dead; that Abraham Lincoln was AmericaVmost remarkable man, and there should^be no attempt to doud the life of a real hero. Oiceio says that tbe first law of history is that it iboald neither oare to eaj aByibing that u false nor fear to S y aaythitig »al IB troe. i£''i!A'S:sdS&Ti; was the sob of a worthy sire tae worii] is eatitled to know who that sire was, whence be came and what his chat&c. teristics. The custodians of this hiBtoty of Abraham Lincoln are numbered b; scores and hundreds of the first people —men and women of western ^^oith Carolina, for the Enloes were a large influential family and their descen. have intermarried with m&a; to review the boo^v^B s an . iwuuvLzemarkable and is written by an enthusUinS ad< mirer of Mr. Lincoln, and estabhsbes beyond question his paternity. Abra­ ham Enloe was himself an extraordi^ nary man—the father of thirteen chil­ dren; aud his photographic likeness!to this particular son is very striking, both in form and feature. Both wwe the same height andhad the same lonV unshapely limbs. \ This little book of 175 pages waa written by James B. Cathey, of Bryson ^ City, N.

First of all, one must b:;ve good blood. Get a first- r-]ass ram, then the better the ewes ibe greater the profit. Have theflock iu a thiifiy condition at mating time. -a mixture oi''rough feed—corn lodder,'Tnerel’ aud timothy hay. Give '.11 they r;ill oat up clean. For gi-ain, feed oats and bran. Give freely, but uot wastetiilly. .Keep the flock very taiue. "Be yonr own shepherd at all times. I would feed no corn to breed­ ing ewes. Furnish plenty of good water. If tbe water ia constantly be foic^ them it is uot so necessary to Jmvd it wftv:iied, for then they will not diink tucugli to do any harm. How­ ever, one should be careful about water at lumbiug time. I have used ' bank barns, but would jirefer sheep !)arns, provided with plenty of win dows for suulight, also well ventilated end roomy. jf ono has followed the above rules, I thini: success almost certain at lamb­ ing time. Have gates or light lengths of fence ready to pen up different ewes with lambs when necessary or before lambing. Prepare a self-feeder in tho center of tho room or in one corner. 13uild a fi-ame to set around it to keep the old sheep ont. Leave several places where the lambs can get iu and out. Fill the feeder with bran and ground oats or middlings; they will find it soon after they begin to pl.'^y. Keep the barn at a uniform temperature, not too hot, but jast T. arm enough so the lambs will not chill when they come. Keep the shed dry and well bedded. Feed ewessame c3 before -lambing, except add one feed a duy of turnips or beets. I would not cut them, as that adds un necessary labor and expense. Just fccatter them whole in the yard where the corn fodder is fed or in feed racks when too stormy'to be outside. Feed ,^1'oots in the middle of the day with a liberal supply of straw. When pas­ ture comes on, give them a taste licar the shed for a time, so you may keep up tho regular feed to save too sudden a change. For^iasture, have clover, bluc'grass and timothy. Do not stint the sheep, as you will regret it in the fail. Keep a supply of salt beforethe £ock always. After weaning, g^ve the lambs good pasture. Place some troughs in tbe field and begin feeding oat s. Gradual­ ly add shelled corn, increasing the corn very slowly, but not the oats. Grain should be fed twice a day. Much care and good judgment must be exercised to avoid overfeeding. • Lambs raised in this way are ready for market any time after five weeks old. In ’97 I sold one lamb in Ang- ' wst w'cighiug 126 pounds, two others the 1st of October that weighed 126 and 150 respectively. I sold the re mainder of the flock before winter set *"'5u for tive cents per pound and they averaged 110 pounds and ten oances. —W. L., in Orange Judd Farmer. n o w to B aise D ocks. When ono attempts raising ducks for the first time they should bear in mind that ducks are essentially dif­ ferent from cliickens, and there are a few points that must be taken into consideration apon which, though siuplo in th«Q«elveSi eaccess or fail* kr» dcpandii. ^ a » t in U U U u ikotU Im . __ ■=5Cr the ground, if possible, as juire more moisture than bnt a nest of sod will lurpose. In this way the more moisture from tho will be unnecessary to lem. eggs should not be washed un- ladly soiled, as the surface is and natural conditions should interfered with as little as pos­ sible. In a little less than four weeks the eggs will hatch; they should be closely watched so that the ducklings may be helped out the Bhell in case they are unable to free themselves, owing to the tough skin which may have become too dry. But such assistance should not be given unless nctualiy necessary. They require nothing to eat for twenty-foui’hours, when bread crumbs soaked in milk may be given them aud water placed before them. A drinking foiftitain is nccessary, ci* something similar, as from the first they will attempt to got into the water. They must be kept dry until nearly feathered out. They require soft feed; a mash of cornmeal, middlings and bran is good for them, but it should not be too sloppy and should be cooked or scalded- Johnny cake crumbled up may also be given them. They aro very fond of milk, and either milk or water should be always accessible j;_to them; this is especially necessary while eating, as they want a driak with almost every mouthful of food. The water soon becomes filthy, as they drop food and dirt into it while drinking, and they should be kept separate from chickens so that the latter will uot be com­ pelled to drink the water and become liable to disease. Feed every two or three hours the first few days, after that feed tivo timies a day. Unless they have free range on a gi'aveljy soil they must be supplied with coarse sand or gravel from the first or they w’ill have in­ digestion. It may be mixed in their food—about one teaspoonful to a pint of food. When they begin to feather out it is really a matter of economy to feed them linseed meal. This greatly assists them iu feathering out and satisfies their craving for something of that nature, the lack of which will cause them to pull feathery. Sometimes there is one more back­ ward in development than tho others, and this one w’ill annoy and seriously injure the others in the flock by pull­ ing feathers and should be kept by itself. Green stuff is a very important item and should be fed every day. If tl^ ducks have access to grass, of course, that is all that is necessary, otherwise onion tops, cabbage, etc., should be chopped aud mixed iu their mash; and give them cabbrge heads to pull apart. They are not subject to dis­ ease ^f kept dry and clean, and not allowed to pack together too closely aud become overheated at night. They are heavy eaters, but this only saves time in their development.—E. L. L., in Farm, Field aud Fireside. Setting Wnson Tire.s by Bolling in Oil. There are many jobs that a farmer can do for himself, it he ouiy makes xhe attempt. One of these is the set­ ting of the tires on the wheels of his vehicles. Tho usual charges at a shop for one wheel will exceed the cost to the farmer of setting all four, aud the time spent in hauling them to and from the shop, to say nothing of the trouble and vexation of unsatisfactory work or ruined wheels, is far greater than it would be to do tho work him­ self. To do this, it requires au out­ lay of only the cost of a metal trough and linseed oil, about half a gallon to a set of wheels, thotigh more than enough to do the work will be needed, as the trough, while boiling, must be filled so as to cover the felloes. This ti'ough, a, can be made of gal­ vanized iron, by a tinner. It should be about twenty-eight inches long, three inches wide and five inches deep at the middle. By making the bottom only sixteen inches long aud slanting the two ends to the top, the bottom will nearly conform to the circumfer­ ence of a wlieel. Set this pan on brxck or stone in such a way that a fire can be built and kept up underjit. Put in enough oil to cover the felloes, and let come to a boil. You are now ready to put in the wheels. To prepare the wheels, let them soak in w’ater until the tires are tight, wash­ ing out all the mud aud dirt possible. On one side of the trough drive a stake, the top of which is to be about the hight of the hub of the wheel when set in tho pan. A stake with a fork at the top will be found the' most con­ venient. On the other side, set in the ground at 2x4 in which a row of half inch auger holes have been bored ranging from a few inches below to a few above a level, corresponding with the stake on the opposite side. By running a piece of a sapling tl^rough 4he wheel, and laying ono end in the fork of the stake, letting the wheel hang in the pan, just free of the bot­ tom, and inserting a pic in the auger hole of the 2x4 that is at the desired hight, as a rest for the other end, the wheel can be easily managed. If it is wedged on the sapling, it can be turned by that means. After being placed in the oil, the wheel should be slowly turned to pre­ vent charring. The length of time re­ quired to boil a wheel depends on its condition, as does the amount of oil it takes for a &et. «Two sets of wheels can be easily set in half a day. This job will prove far more satisfactory than one performed by a blaoksmith, who, often on aocoant of the dry wood Bwalling after he has shrunk tbe tire, raini a wbaal hf dittaiagit.^K«v.£ng- Im4 HMftMtMi • GOOD BOADS NOTES. ^ ‘’"'st°eed” ““ '^ r“ ^ ^ e r ^ n the noble Can draw a broad and ample load at pleas- of speed; ^ One hard smooth and level, yet so It a^^oundJlnd high It won t be mudd^when <it’s wet nor dustywhen It*s dry. - Good R o n ^ and^ ^ r a l Mails, i The aotion of Congi^ss iu increas- ;ing the appropriation for the free de­ livery of mail iu rural districts from $150,000 to$il00.000 a year and the reports to the 4epartment concerning the results of tl5e experiments tried last year ought to' operate as a strong stimulus to good .roads legislation iu the various States.. The increase in the annual appro­ priation anay bo regarded as evidenso that this novel branch of the postal service is a succesa and that it ia to be a perSnanent ^institution. The ex- perimei^s in the Middle and Western States Ijave beeto satisfactory to the officials and to the people and have seemiM^ justified the further exten- ;8ion of iU benefits. That rural de­ livery is a success is also shown by the manifestations of appreciation received by the department from [farmers wlho reside iu the limits of the experimental djutiicts. Contrary to the prediction^of those who opposed the scheme, it $8 also noted that in nine |out of ten^ districts in wliich it has •been ii^o^uced it pays its way, while in spine of them it yields a profit. The! particular feature of the re­ ports ^hat should have special interest for the farmers of Illinois, however, is that which shows that bad roads are theTgreat impedijnent to the exten­ sion of the service in this State. Tho reg^laHons of the department require jthat one horse shall cover a route of from tjwenty to twenty-five miles a day. Even with letter boxes placed at the crossings of highw'ays, it has been found impossible to lay out routes of the prescribed length in one section of IlUhois ouaccountof .muddy and impassat)le reads. A satisfactory good roads bill is norw before the Legislature at Spring­ field. It provides for a State engineer to jpupervise construction of State highways and for the payment by the State of fifty per cent, of the cost of all roa4s that may be built under tho law. The obunty in wcliich the road is coiistructed, is required to pay thirty- five p^r ceni. and the property owners who j^etiticA for the road fifteen per cent. “Bifr principle of State and county aid, embodied in the bill, represents the oiJy practical and satisfactory method of securing a permanent sys­ tem of well-consbracted rural high­ ways.

It is hoped tljat the bill ^ill be enacted in the Fortietli General Assembly of Mis- BO.^i. The bill elates that the Governor eh^i appoint a “Missouri Highway Commidsioh,’* to consist of three ihembers, their several terms being six, four apd two years. They are to gather infor^tion from all sections of the State as to the manner and cost of the present methods of street re­ pairing. Plans for repairing, build­ ing ahd drainmg ro%ds, and of bridges, culveBts, etc., are to be drawn. The oommi,8sion is to examine all laws o;n or pertaining to highway work, segr^lfate all ineffective ones, and do all in its power to lead to the attainfiment ol a permanent road sys­ tem.

The extension throughout Long Island Of macadam road building is shown to advantage in increased facil­ ities of communication, enhaucetl property values and general conveu- ience. The good roads agitation, enormously aided by tbe wheelmen, has IjQ^n promot.^d {nrther by the adoption p( the oomprehensiTe New York statute of ^898, whioji provides for a general imprSvement of Neff York highways nndgr a division of cost of fifty per cent, to the State, tMrty-five per cent, to the county, and fifteen per cent, to the town or property owners benefited, the main­ tenance of tho road after its comple­ tion being made a oonnty charge. The fnll benefits of this statutory provision are not yet so clearly visible as to justify the predictions of its ad­ vocates, bnt the adoption of tbe plan that devolves on local instead of State authority the initiation of such uader- takings, makes improvements easier in the future.—New York Sun.

Middletown, Conn., is considering the advisability of issuing'bonds to the extent of 8100,000, the money to be used on the main roads of the city.

In tbe last number of the Revue Seientifique there is an interesting article on the subjecf which seems to show that some birds certainly eat butterflies. The writer, referring to the. recent journey of M. K atharinia through Central Asiatic Turkey, saj-'s: “On one occasion M. K atharinia saw a large number of butterflies hunted by birds. In a short time many butterflies were killed. The survivors managed to con­ ceal themselves under some herbage and the birds did not disturb them any more. In spite, therefore, of certain assertions to the contrary. It can safely be stated that birds do to Some extent prey upon butterflies. At the same time it is worthy of note that thirds do not pursue butterfles except when the latter are flying.” A re YouUstng Allen’s Foot>Ease ?

T.hc London vpgetarlans are plan­ ning to organize a church of their own, with a pre.acher of their own wny of lieiief. The vc-getnrians aro strong iu l.onuon. and Uu-ro are excellent res- ln;H’:iJits where no meat is served. Accordinjrly the vegetarian colony can .live up to tlioir faith, and comfortably. The veg«‘tarians And plenty of justifi­ cation. in Scripture and elsewhere, of their deference for animal life, and they urge that their i>ecnliar way of looking at things gives ample i*eason for tbe foundation of a separate sect, Remarkable Revoiutioo Immlaeot ia Medical Treatment. Dr. K. L. W atkins calls attention to the remarkable revolution which ap- p(?ars imminent iu the ordinary forms of medical treatm ent of the day. It is now possible to foretell the approach of many subtle diseases months before the ordinary symptoms appear. The blood gives unmistakable signs of the approach of disease, and all the patbol- ogist needs to read its warning is a microscope. By doing this systemat­ ically doctors will be able to detect the disease in its premonitory stages and have an infinitely better chance of arresting or curing it than if it had had time to develop. Conidmption can now be suspected from the appearance of the blood a year or more before any cough sets In. At this early stage the blood Is sees to contain a number of small gray granules, which float around In the liquor of the blood. Col­ lecting in patches they presently de­ velop into red cells and pervade the lung tissue, forming tubercles. Thes^ cells form the feeding ground of the fam iliar bacilli of consumption. The symptom of the incipient stages of apoplexy is the appearance of a long line or rift sbanily dividing the blood corpuscles. Should this line be sharp­ ly defined a fatal stroke of paralysis is probably near at hand, but other­ wise there is no immediate danger. .Al­ though this indication can be often observed before there is any other sign of the disease, it is not entirely relia­ ble. A very curious harbinger of par­ alysis is the web feet in the blood. The presence of these in large number shows that the heart is not strong enough to pump the blood properly. When the blood is in this state in a marked degree the red corpuscles often appear to be entangled in a mass of web. Then tendency then is to clog the muscular veins, or those of the heart. The clogging of the heart veins is followed by paralysis, while If the veins of the brain are obstructed par­ alysis of the limbs is to be expected. The presence of certain other extrane­ ous m atter in the blood leads to rheu­ matism of the h eart and the rupture of blood vessels. W hen this m atter ac­ cumulates beyond a certain degree it jiroduces a convulsion of pain in pass­ ing the heart and tends to stop the action of that vibroiis organ. • Blood of this kind may be diagnosed when seen under the microscope. The homelier a giri is the more help she is to her mo.ther. ______ T ^ O G E A T E F T L W O M E N Restored to Health by Lydia B. Flskhaia's Vegetable Compound.

It requires every voter to be 21 years old just as it has been since the establishment of the State. Its educational provision will assist in keeping the ignorant negro in the eastern portion of the State from taking chai'ge of the co'inty and town governments, as they did in some places under fusion rule.

He reviewed the military ,the civil and the historic parades, upon succes­ sive days, attended tne opening night of the fireworks, held a pub­ lic reception and received the mem­ bers of a number of visiting organi­ zations during his office hours. The celebration was a success,although the attendance from outside was below expectations. Official dispatches from Gen.

E v­ ery material industry in the U nit­ ed States seems to he forging ahead m a manner well caleuktea to vin­ dicate those optimists who have been looking forward to a boundless prosperity.

Huntington, Ind., May 22.— “ Aunt Peggy” Bailey died hei-e yesterday aged one hundred and twelve. H er real name waa Mar­ garet, but for years she had been called ‘ ■ Aunt Peggy, ’ ’ She was born in Kentucky, in March 1787. She never married, although she said she had plenty of chances. She declared that she never wished to wed, but other members of the family have often hinted that there was a love story in her early daj’8. She was a constant tobacco smoker, having used a pipe from the time she was eight year old. She never smoked tobacco that had been bought out of a store, declar­ ing it was not the genuine iirticle. The family raised enough of the weed to supply her. “ Annt Peggy” could neither read nor write, but was a fine housekeep­ er and helped about the house al­ most to the last. She took care of a flook of chickens and spent much time knitting old-fashioned socks and mittens. Her eyesight was af­ fected a few years ago, but the trouble lasted only a ^orttim e,and after that she could see as well as ever. She retained her faculties until about two months ago, when she became suddenly blind,deaf, dumb and partially insane. From that time the decline was rapid. It is thought that she was the oldest “ old maid” in the United States. There is a brother in Ken- tocky and another in Ohio, both of whom have passed the century mark. Big Lot of Ladies and.

Events in Sumo* have given the Anglo-American alliance its baptism of blood. It is for another nation to «ay whether this nnion shall be still more seonrely welded in the fires of war. Statistios show that fire destroys 6000 lives and $150,000,000 worUi of property in this country every year. This shows that the science of «on- stmction is still a periloasly long dis­ tance from what it should be. Last year’s output of coal was the greatest in the history of the United States, amoantiDg to 150,000,000 net tone of soft coal and 46,800,000 tons ot anthracite. This places the United States second in the coal-prodaoin^ countries of the world. It is a pity that Finland mast lose its aatonomj and be merged into the mass of BasBia. But it is only what was to be expected, from the moment that beautiful province was torn from Sweden and given to the Czar. And the fact that it had a higher civiliza­ tion than the rest of Bussia only made its fate the more certain. Columbia is as pretty, neat, short and bailable a name as could be given to onr new cup defender. A lovable sort of name, too, with a bit of history and sentiment and poetry woven some' how about the breast of our white dove who will plunge so steadily into green waters for the sake of the old cup. A winning name, we should guess, not stored away in attics or encyclopedias, or puzzled out with square and rule. Just a plain name, that stands for what we are—a plain people, racing for a plain cup. Columbia and Sham­ rock—a Tery pretty combination. May the best boat win! Women who are afflicted with con­ sumption or a tendency to it hesitate to many nowadays, and thus prolong or save their lives. The most fatal ages are from twenty-five to thirty- five. The next most dangerous period is from twenty to twenty-five. In the case of tuberculse subjects, the large life insurance companies frequently withhold the policy until after the age of thirty-five, thinking their risk comparatively safe after that age. Knowledge concerning this subject is rapidly becoming universal. And with it comes the power to abolish in time the pest of tuberculosis in all its ▼ariouB maDifestations. ■ The manicipal election of Bronson, Kan., has just gone by default, and a unique condition of municipal govern­ ment will result. Three political or ganizations exist in the town,, but the people were so busy digging for natural gas and zinc that they utterly neg­ lected to call a convention and make nominations. No ballots were printed, and when under the law they had to open the polls the Election Commis­ sioners telephoned to the County At­ torney for advice. They were in­ structed that no legal election could be held, and unless the present Ma­ yor and other officers can hold over, the town will be without government for two years. ‘ In one of his “Thoughts” .Toubert says: ‘This is how one might ap­ portion the commerce of nations according to their character: The Spaniard—jeweler, goldsmith, stone­ cutter; the Englishman—manufac­ turer; the German—paper merchant; tile Buchman—provision merchant; the Frenchman—fashion monger.

Whenever he arrests a man he asks him if he wants to join the church. If the mag ahowB a disposition to reform Jie is treated with consideration, and the ooort shows lenity.

A special to The News and O ^ v e t from Greensboro, N. O., says: CoL Julian S. Oarr, in his addrees before the Colored A^ionltnre and Mefhan- ieal College W e, spoke at length upon the subject of lynohings. Colonel Carr is very kindly disposed toward the ne^o. - He said that the recent crimes in one of onr Southern States and the barbarous death meted out to the brute guilty of them,had brought na face to face with conditiona that threaten out very civilization. Lynch­ ing, as a preventative of tapCi had proven a horrible failure. And while no death was too terribb for the as­ sailant of an innocent woman, for the honor of the South lynchisgs should be stamped out and the law permitted to take its course. The pulpit and the irees should join in the work to make it respected. At the same time, all technioalitiei, delays and challenges that give criminals such an ad­ vantage mnst be wiped out, so that men may know that the capture of a rapist will be swiftly and surely followed by his eTecution. Torning then from the responsibili- tiea of the white race, to those of the black race. Col, Oarr said: “The ques­ tion of the future of the Southern ne­ gro is one that must be deferred for settlement until we have restored safe­ ty and a feeling of security to the humblest woman in the poorest cabin of the most thinly settl^ portion of the Sooth. The Southern white man cannot restore that security.' That is the mission of the leaders of the negro race. They must make a public sen­ timent so strong in their race that no brute can fail to be impressed by it. Criminals mnst be made to understand that crime shuts the doors of respect­ able homes to the criminal. Let him be a pariah, an Ishmaelite, an outcast, to be received nowhere except by charity and upon probation. Tar HeVl* Notes. . Insurance men of prominence are arranging to call a State convention of agents in Baleigh, probably Jnne 5, to urge the Ooveror to call a special session of the Legislature to repeal or modify the Craig law. By the terms of the law on the sub­ ject, the public printers are required to deliver all the L>ws to the State in 90 days after the Legislature adjourns, or else forfeit $50 a day. Now the question comes, whether 90 calendar or 90 working days are meant. The printers contend that ‘‘90 working days is meant.” As mnch as U1 hns been paid for North Carolina 6 per cent, bonds. This is the top notch figure. There was $10,000 in the block. A special meeting of the board ol agriculture has been called to be held June 1. The Southern Railway has already pnt oa what may be termed a “Jim Crow Car’*%n trains Nos. 7 and 8 oc the Baleigh division. Although the law does does not go into effect before June 1st, the Southern is getting used to it on the installment plan. The two race ares provided with equal ac­ commodations, a partition dividing them. Coaches are being fitted up oD the other roads of the States. Mrs. Patsey Hendrix, of Elk town- shir, Wilkes county is quite a remark­ able woman. She is 90 years old, haE never lit a lamp or struck a match. She has never been sick to amount to anything, and is now well, stout and active. She often enjoys herself as in htr youthful days by goingjbarefooted md playing with her children.

B iohmom ) JFa., BpeffidL —After a dis- onssinvj which lasted over three hours, ‘-Uie Oeneral Assembly -of the Fresky- terian Church, at its morning session, recommended a change in the Book oi Order, so as to provide that the rulins ftlder may deliver the charge to the people at the installation of the pastor. Forly-fonr of the Presbyteries of the Southern Church had pronounced in favor of the change, which was also recommended by the committee on bills and overtures. The vote of the committee stood: Ayes, 77; noes, 48: absent, 73; excused from voting, 2. Tke Yoange&t Conductor. Perhaps the youngest and lightest- weight conductor in the world is in the employ of the Asheville & Biltmorc Street Bailroad Co. His name is Gor­ don Brown, his age 11 years, hie height four feet, lour inches, and his weight about 76 pounds. -He is a son ot Mo- torman Daniel W. Brown, of the A. & B., who resides at 319 Baily street. Capt. Gordon runs on the extra oar that is necessitated by the 10-minnte schedule recently put in operation by the A.

He il the Only Boy on the l^remists and Has to Sprinkle lbs Flowers and Work tbe Garden. I reckon there are enough philoso­ phers to fioiTe the race problem and lave the country without further as­ sistance from me, and so I will swear off for the present I don’t care much whether the negro goea to Africa or Arizona or stays here. If he stays here he has got to stop his devilment or take the consequences, and I’m willing to trust the people on that line. Bnt of all the absurd remedies khat have been proposed none are more so than a change of ▼enne and a trial in fire days in some distant couaty. County lines do not bound the fierce indignation of a people horrified and enraged over such fiendish work as that of Sam Holt and Will Lucas. And besides. Just think of the machin­ ery that has to be set in motion to summons and convey thirty or forty witnesses to a distant county> and even then perhaps no trial or a mock trial that-disregards the forms of law and the rights of the criminal. No, that is no remedy. Bnt I’ve sworn off. Let the wise men settle it, tho' I confess I was surprised when I read that Gov­ ernor Candler had just discovered that education was the only remedy that would stop the commis­ sion of these heinous crimes. Adcord- ing to statistics of New York and Mas­ sachusetts, taken from their State pris­ ons and published to the woild, edn- cation fosters and increases crime—not a little, but immensely. The gover­ nor’s theory has been long since ex­ ploded. And right here in Georgia the uneducated negro before the war and for a few years after was moral and law-abiding and now there are 4,000 in the State and connty chaingangs, 75 per cent, of whom can read and write. . Bat I forbear. I had rather rumi­ nate about pleasanter things, though I must protest against this utterly un­ tenable basis of all the negroes being good negroes excepting 5 per cent. Mr. Inman started it, and I see that Bishop Gaines iakes comfort from it in his beautiful add impressive sermon of last Sunday. It is a delusion and a snare. Nearly 5 per cent, of their vot­ ing population are uow in the chain- gaoge, and it is safe to* say that if every one who steals was arrested and punished it would add 10 per cent, more to tbe black army of coDvicts. Petty larcenies are common in erery household where they are employed, but they are not broaght to court. Thede little pilferings are crimes, bnt the crimes are condoned—overlooked— for they have some good qualities, and their service is needed. It is a race trait and develops with educa­ tion, especially among the younger negroes. The records of the courts prove that the percentage of small larceny and burglary grows faster than their population Jncreases. City ne­ groes and town negroes are more ad­ dicted to it than country negroes, for they have more education and more opportunities. The fear of the law as it is now does not detea them. The fear of tho lash would. Bat we can worry along with their little pilferings on the principle that a cook we once had declared fo me when I reproved her for stealing: “Yon dontmiss what I takes.” It is the greater crimes thac now give out people deep concern and these will bo quickly and terribly avenged. Our people, especially the country people, are in desperate ear­ nest, and neither law nor lawyers nur the horns of the altar will protect a brute in human form, whether he be white or colored. Bnt what makes my thoughts and pen glide along on this subject? My wife is calling me now to come there and bring tbe stepladder. She wants the vines on the trellis* tied up, and I am the boy. That ladder is old and rickety and I am subject to vertigo sometimes. I’m afraid of that ladder, but never in my life did I admit to her that I was afraid of anything, and so I will mount that ladder with all the alacrity I can. T-he time was when Ihad .blaflk4K)ys and white ones,too., to on me, bnt now X have to tote my own ikillet and nurse tho grandchil­ dren, too. ' There are two little ones here half tbe time and they love me dearly and I have to stop writing whenever they say so. They want me in the garden to get flowers or pick strawberries or make sand houses or mud pie? or get some water or some­ thing to eat, and I have to follow them around or carry the little one while my wife is making some more little dresses for them. Tbeir mother has no servant and lets them come np here by themselves to be petted while she is sewing or cooking or playing on tbe piano. My wife and I do more work nowadays than we ever did in our livep, but it sweet work and we like it. How the children and grandchildren Will get along when onr time is out and we are off duty I cannot see, but one thing I know, “the Lord will pro­ vide,” for “He tempers the wind to the shorn Iamb.” Bnt about the negroes. Hardly a day passes bnt what I bear somebody say: “I wish io the Lord that they were all out of the country.” I don’t know about th»t. The iron makers and miners and lumber men and rail­ road men and tbe big farmers wonld object, for their labor ia both useful and profitable. I wish 1 could scatter end aoportion them all o”^r tHe'^onn- try from the AUantio to the FaoiSu. There are at least 600 io this little town that we wonld like to spare, bnt we wonld like to pick theto. There are no doubt 10,000 in Atlanta —mostly young bucks and wenches who have been educated and are now Tagabonds^parasites who live off the labor of Kood workiog ne^oes jnBt as the vagabonds do here. We have many g o ^ negroes here who .are good dtizeiu and give no tronbl^ and they are onr di^ymen, our earpenters, ear- md^en, blj^smitha, barbers. norttatbnt the north keeps on senT ing money doWn here io educate them and to keep tbeit leaders in line poli­ tically, The truth is that all this de­ vilment that has of late so agitated onr people comes from politics. It is planned and designed ttir party pttt- poses and Mr. McKinley was a party to it when he appointed negroes to be postmasters and revenue officers in white oommonities. I have had no re­ spect fdr tliiii since lie did It, ^hej' say that he ba6 quit it, btlt he has Hoi apologiied. How much longer is he going to keep that edncatod negro politician iii ottce At Hogansville ? And yet there are thousands til demo­ crats, men and women, in Atlanta who gave him welcome and threw him flowers and shouted “All hail Mc­ Kinley !” I’ve no respect for them, either. I want to live long enough to see a man in the presidential chair who is far above such machine politics. They say they want to break up the solid south and yet they do the very things to keep it solid. But my wife is calling me again. She says it is about time for iue to begin to water the roses, it takes about fifteen backets of water every evening, bnt the hydrant is neat by and I dont mind it. The little chaps try to help me with little buckets and they get tbeir clothes wet and of course I am scolded for it. If they get dirty or take cold or run at the nose it’s all my fault. They say that I spoil them so nobody else can do anything with them. I don’t care. They shall have a good time os long as I live, for there Will be trouble enough aftor I am gone. Now about this thing that is called education I do not wish to be mis­ understood. Millions are wasted on it to no good purpose. JEverylmother’s son and daughter should be taught to read and to write and multiply. Good reading books should be placed within their reach—books that teach a good man moral lessons, books that exalt virtue and condemn vice— but work, toil, industry is a bigger thing than books. Modern education is confined to the head, the intellect, and is mixed up with training the hands to play ball and legs to run, and the boys tramp all over the country to play match games and the old man’s money is spent for something that is not worth a cent to the young man when he settles down to the business of life. The average boy has no more use for algebra or conic sections or calcalns or astronomy or Greek or French than a wagon has for a fifth wheel. It is valuable time wasted. Outside of the profession I have never found but oue college graduate who could translate a line of Oreek or solve a problem in geometry. Perhaps one in a thousand shows a fitness for these higher branches, and that one should have » chance at them if possible, for the world needs astronomers and mathematicians and scientists aud lingnists, and will have them, even if the acquirement has to be hammered out at the anvil as Elihu Burritt did. Work is the big thing in this prac­ tical age. To make a living is imper­ ative, and K is a struggle. But to be a great orator or poet or preacher is a gift, and like Patrick Henry or Henry Clay or John Wesley, will come to fruition with o? without a higher edn- cation. To read well and to read wisely is the best part of an education. It is strange that our schools do not teach their pupils to read—to read with emphasis and tone and accent. Not one preacher in ten can read a chapter or a hymn in an impressive manner. It was his happy faculty of reading well that made Bishop Beck­ with a great man. It was a solemn feast to hear him recito the litany or read a hymn or utter a prayer. Why do not the theological seminaries teach the stndents to read and also something of elocution? It is an imposition on a congregation to have to listen to the singsong, childish, unimpressive read­ ings of OUT preachers. But this is enough on this line. I fear I am getting hypocritical.—Bill Arp in Atlanta Constitution. RAM’S HORN BLASTS. |H£ saloon bird may be known by its nest and nestlings. Christ washed the feet of Judas. Infidelity is a pillow of nettles. To build society without God, is making bricks without straw. _ O u r fortunes may fluctuate, but His goodness never does. A man’s religion must live in his bus­ iness. It is only the empty bucket that God can fill. The changeful heart will never -win aud wed the truth. Bepentance includes a torning from sin a disgust of sio, and a sorrow for it. Putting the bread of life on the church steeple won’t feed those on tbe ground. One sin in a day will unravel the whole like the dropping ot a stitch in knitting. It is the practice of .hypocrites to spiritualize the precepts and accept the promises as practical. It makes all the difference when you pray whether yon feel that yon are ns- ing a long-distance phone or just hik­ ing in the ear of your friend. It you would have friends, you must have faith in them. Drinking to drown one’s misery, is putting out a fire with oil. Get your heart right, and it will be easy to manage your tongue. There are no churches dying from the exhanstioa of liberality. It is not so necessary to be back to dhrist, as it is to look np to Him. God can use the willing heart to greater advantage than the wise head.

B is Forces Inadequate to Conquer and B o ld tb e Fhillpplnef, MANitA (By Cable).-The events of the last week have emphasized the need of a much larger army here, without which, according to the best authori­ ties in Manila, It will be Impossible for General Otis to establish American supremacy In th^ Philippine Islands. The inadequacy of the American forces is said to be responsible for the large total loss in the number ot small eacounters, without material results as a compensa­ tion. Host of the fighting has been in ter­ ritory which the Americans had swept, bat had been oompelled to abandon, because theyconld not spare troops to hold it. The forces commanded by Generals HaoArtboi-and Lawton hold two Impor­ tant lines ot communication and com­ merce, the railroad to San Fernantflo and the Bio Grande. But mnch of the oonntry they have traversed, Incladlng soores ot the smaller towns and some of the larger ones, has been left uncovered, simply for want ot men to hold it, and the Insurgents have letnrned and are oeonpylng tbe towns the Amerloaus have abandoned, and are camping in the jungles and woods outside others, on tbe watch for ehances to harass the garrisons and attack soontlng parties or detached oompanles with greater forces. This Is the kind of warfare they prefer to regular bat­ tles. _________ R ecruits Ordered to Blanlla. WASHiKOTOir, D. 0.

He gave out the hymns and led In prayer, and then went to the Bible and :ave out bis text. Then the storm roke. He appealed to the congregatY to lead better lives and to feel a spiritual oalm after a life of sio, the rouKbness and turbulence of which he compared with the violence ot the storm raging out of doors. Just then a crash of thunder came, while a brllUant flash almost blinded those in the front pews. When il>ey recovered from the confusion the minister lay on tbe floor dead. The congregation was in a great state of fear, and the men fn the au­ dience, mostly cattlemen, feared to ap­ proach the body tor some minutes. The women screamed and some fainted. Hr. Baldwin ha4 been living In tbe Ter­ ritory several ^years. He came from lUi- nols. The romantic rescue of Miss Cisneros from prison in Havana was one of the most thrilling incidents of tbe Cuban war tor independence, and that a true love match grew out of the misfortunes of the young daughter of the Antilles makes the recently arrived little one an object of peoullar interest to Cubans.

Any property a bride may possess is never by any chance settled upon the husband, aud if he is poor and she ^vell off, he can only become at mosi an adm inistrator of her poBsessions. After death, unlt^ss she has executed a deed in her husband's favor, under a lawyer’s eye. the property goes to her children and bJood relations, but none to her husband. A married woman retains her maid- ^en. name and adds to it that of her “'*iiusband with the prefix “de” and-the children bear the names of both par­ ents. The husband symbolically endows the bride wUh al! his worldly posses­ sions after the marriage.

The condition of the mind known as “ the blues.*’ nearly always, w ith wo­ men. results from diseased organs of generation. It is a source of wonder th a t in this age of advanced medical science, any person should still believe th a t mere force of will and determ ination will overcome depressed spirits and nerv­ ousness in women. These troubles are indications of disease. Every woman who doesn't under* stand her condition should v.’rite to Lynn. Mass., to Mrs. Pinkham for her advice.

One Advantaee of Good Boads. One striking advantage of good roads, or» perhaps, the disadvantage of bad roada, has been shown by recent experiments in free postal delivery in the rnral districts of Illinois. Thi postoffiee authorities have arranged for free deliveries from eight different points iu that State, aud it is an> nounced from Washington that the number would have been much greater had it I'.ot been for the wretched con­ dition of the roads in the communi­ ties which hail applied for the service. .Experience has proved that where a mounted carrier caunot cover a daily route of twenty-live miles free delivery is impracticable; unci while the es­ tablishing of eight deliveries in Illinois by no meaus implies that no others are possible in that State, it does mean that the system would have been undertaken on a much wider scale if the condition of the public highways in given districts had been such as to invite it. The report of the special agents who investigated the territory is not at all flatteriag to the farmers of Illinois. It is to the effect that the roads are so deep with mud during certain seasous of the year that the free delivery service could not be maintained over a route of the pre­ scribed length, aud it is poiuvcd but that there is little or no visible effort to improve them. The result is that farmers in large areas, who might have much to gain by keeping in close touch with market conditions through a daily delivery ol letters and news­ papers, will not enjoy that advantage until they do their part to make it possible—iu other words, not until they make tUcir roads passable for carriers the whole year round. The experience of the Government in this matter of rural free delivery is about the same in other States as itis in Illinois. The American farmer is only beginning to learutbat good roads are a necessity, not a luxury, and that every rational improvement in the means of public communication adds its full cost to the value of his own property. The movement in favor of good roads in advancing, however, and will contiuue to do so, but nothing is better calculated to hasten its pro­ gress tbau the results of official ex­ periments ivhich require the Govern­ ment to say to the farmer that it can* not enlarge the scope of the postal service in country districts until he turns in to help the work along by providing modern highways.—New York Mail and Express. Hud Blockadet The usual mud blockade is on again in all backwoods towns that cannot see the good of permanent street and road improvemeut, and Stamford, Conn., on some of whose streets all traffic is suspeudsd, is not far behind the average. AVhile the place has a few blocks of brick aud asphalt bloek- pavement on Main street, many of the others are in a disgraceful condition for six months—twice a year. Recently an oil-tauk wagon became stuck iu the mire of one of Stamford’s sti-eets and had to bo unloaded before six horses could pull it out. It came ont much harder than does tbe salaries of the well*fed officials, who might place gravel on those roads, as w'ell as not, aud make them usable at all times. Narrow tires on heavy wagons are a curse to this as well as many other towns in Connecticut, but, un­ til the present stock of cheek gives way to common sense, nothing will be done to relieve the progressive few who want better roads.—’SStam,” in L. A. W. Bulletin. Good ItondB hikI Taxes. No farmer wauts to pay any more than a hard road is worth to him. He would be a fool if he did. But the experience of other committees, especially iu the Eaet, is that good roads are worth to the land owner every cent paid for them. Of course the farm owner is not the only one benelited, aud should not bear all the expenses. Every foot of laud in the towns aud eveiy inch of railroad land in the township or county is enhanced, in value by road improvement. Aud it is upon such property that the burden of taxes should fall. CItat About the Crusade. Pennsylvania is waging active war for good roads and cycle patJis. And are yon speaking a good word for wide tires wherever it will do good? The M aryland Cycle Path Associa­ tion is preparing to do a lot of good work this year. Under its new highway jaw, Now Ham pshire promises to make rapid progress in road building. ‘*0 h, this is a soft thing!” said the horse. H e referred to the country road, and he was literally correct. If the lax for good roads were justly distributed a small proportion would be laid on farm land, because farm land is the least valuable. There weie no services held in any of the churches of Afolkey, Illinois, on a recent Sunday because of the im passable condition of the streets and roads.

The Russians have been making somothing of a study of Chinese man­ ners and etiquette, and their periodi­ cals are reporting w hat has been learned. The latest number of Russ- kiiviestnik says it is not surprising that the Celestrials consider Europeans barbarians when they see continually w hat they consider bad manners and breaches of etiquf*to on the part of w'hlte men. The proper thing, accord­ ing to the Chinese notion, is diametri­ cally opposed to the European idea. For instance, when a Chinese wel­ comes a visitor to bis house, he does not remove his hat. if he happens to have it on. H e puts his hat on if he is caught without It. The seat of honor at the table is at the left of the host. It would be considered an offence if the guest inquired about the health of the hostess, or, still worse, expressed a desire to be presented to her. A Chinese takes offence if told that be looks younger than he is. '|‘he older tbe man the more he is respected, indc' pendently of his qualities, an^, there; fore, a Chinese wishes to appejar older than he really is. H e willin}gly for. gives many ©ffiences, but shcfljld any one happen to tread <Jn his foot he will refuse to accept the most humble apologies. When a son dies in a Chinese family the bereaved father considers it proper to show strangers a smiling countenance, no m atter w hat his suf­ ferings may be. The Russian newspaper asserts that there is a Minister of Etiquette in China known as Ll-joy. Ancient books on manners are accepted by him as au­ thority. The books include 200 vol­ umes. Some of the rules are Dracon* ian in their severity. A Chinese can­ not even build a house according to his taste. No m atter how rich he is It is not proper for him to build a finer or h higher house than th at of his neighbor if the latter happens to be of superior rank ’ socially. In ChlnesD etiquette there are eight varieties of the bow. Ignorance of Chinese Ideas of propriety w ith regard to the bow has often caused embarrassment. A Chinese, displeased with his situa­ tion, will not tell his employer the rfeal reason for resigning,' but will give poor health or the death of a relative as a pretext for leaving. Such things have led many persons to regard the Chinese as insecure, but this does them Injustice. They are also unjust­ ly considered to be cold, unemotional and indifferent to the sufferings of others. As a m atter of fact this ap­ pearance of stolidity Is only a speci' men of the wonderful self-control, and the iron force of character with which this race Is endowed. ENGLISH GRIP CURE- A PliTsiolan's Treatmeot TUat If Goar> anteed to Be Effective. Dr. J. C. Ross writes from Mftnches- ter, England, in regard to the epidemic of grip in America, He says no m at­ ter how severe the form of the affec­ tion may be, it can be cured If proper­ ly treated with decoction of cinnamon within 24 hours of its appearance. His method, established on eight years* practice on cases of this class, is by means of cinnamon administered in large and repeated doses, so as to sat­ urate the tissues of a patient suffering some fever of microbic origin, which thus from a fitting nidus becomes an unfitting nidus for the reception of the microbe. The microbe then ceases to flourish and the fever runs. a mild course. If the disease baa existed for 48 hours and upward the treatm ent practically yields no result whatever. Where the symptoms have not beep developed more than three or four hours the patient can return to hi’s work within 48 hours. The method of treatm ent is, if the influenza has not existed for more than 24 hours, to or­ der the patient to take half an ounce of decoction of cinnamon every half hour until six doses have been taken. After this half-ounce doses are to be taken every hour until 24 hours have elapsed from the commencement of the treatm ent. At the expiration of the 24 hours the same dose is to be re­ peated every two hours until the tem­ perature falls to normal. After that half an ounce of the decoction is to be given four Umes a day for two days. The patient is instructed not to leave the house for 24 hours after the tem­ perature has become normal. Some­ times the patientB complain that the cinnamon makes them feel sick, but there is good reason to believe that in such cases the feeling of nausea arises from the influence of the grip on the alimentary canal, and not from the cinnamon, because in every case where the treatm ent has been persistently co&Unu^d tbe nausea has ceased, AdTmtuona Career.

There Is much difference In tbe breadth, size and color of leaf in your grain as it comes up- It Is partly de­ pendent on the character of the seed, as the plant sends up its first leaves mainly from the starchy m atter which encloses the germ and which the germ uses u»*il it is able to put forth roots Into the soil. Barley beiug larger and heavier than oats has always a broad­ er leaf, though if oats are sown on rich land and somewhat late they will come up w ith a leaf that looks like barley. But this rank growtli early is not re­ garded favorably by tbe cultivator, for he knows that it is liable to be fol­ lowed by rust of stalk or grain later in the season. Harrowing grain that comes up with too small and thin a leaf bruises these first leaves, and as it also stim ulates root growth It causes tbe plant to send up new shoots with much broader leaves. This dries out the soil, thus preventing the excessive ; grpwth later that invites rust ^ inrow a stone into a stream and the 1 disturbance of tbe w ater will not cease until the concentric circles which roll on from the point of the stone’s Immer­ sion be stopped by the farthest shore.
