LARGE FARMs.-One of the rocks on
which many fail. is to have too much land.
1t is much safer to be crowded for room-to
have no room to plant anything. a. is often
emarked-than to be spread out to the ex-
tent We commonly see. This il true of
rented land; but more particularly 90 of
ground which We buy. 1t is very common
thing for one who has thousand dollars to
buy land worth two. mortgage half; and
leaving little spare cash to work on. The
land is but half cultivated, and the resulting
crops but one half what they ought to be,
while the labor is double what Half the
ground would have called for. Here there
is four-fold waste; and instead. of paying
but six or seven per cent. for money. it
brings up the actual cost to near twenty.
under which one soon fails.
For our part, We are rather in favor of a
young man starting in life with but little
cash capital. buying farm with some mort
cages on it. providing he has determine
tiOn to pay that mortgage off as soon a. he
can turn round. Thousands of men now
own property who would never had done 90
but for the necessity of thus exerting them
selves. Their earnings would have went
some how away. 1: is hard to resist family
opportunities when everything is dear; but
when there 10 something which must be met
the disposition to savs receives strong sup
port from the glaring fact.- Phila. Press.

THE RRcE CRoP.-A very complete and
satisfactory statement of the yield of rice
the South for tho years 1901. says the
Charleston Courier, has just been put forth
by Mr.. E. Willis. merchant of our city.
The circular indicates much labor and re-
search, and the form in which the facts are
stated are such as would seem to insure as
near an approach to correctness in the re-
suit as possible. The following are the re-
suit:
North Carolina. 1000 accessibility bush
els to the acre, 1000 acres.
South Carolina. 30, $50 accessibility
bushels to the acre. Il, 500 casks.
Georgia. 2332O accessibility one bush
els to the acre, $4,000. casks.
Louisiana. 1868 acres-forty bushels to
the acre, 2O,35O casks.
Crop of the United States. $3.50 acres.

All SIN AND THE LEAGUE.-We learn
that the notorious Union League Club of
this city is flickering fast. and in fact, may
be said to have c llapsed and become ex-
tine. This grave matter necessarily needed
immediate attention, and to that effect the
Captain. H. G. (which it signifies Heather
Chinee) Warmoth has written long letter.
addressed to every member of the Immi-
grafton Company. that they must call and
pay their dues. their delinquency being
the cause of the simmering down of the
trial balloon.
The members being all office holders
will have to look for their heads in case Of
uon- compliance, for "Ah Sin" has his sleeve.
full of other names.

IMPEACHMENT OF GOVERNOR HoLpEN.-
In impeaching and driving from Office into
perpetual disgrace this cowardly and black
hearted tyrant. who availed himself of Fed
eral protection to Cypress and cruelty per-
secute his own people, the Senate of North
Carolina has done honor to the State and
set an example that will be remembered for
all time to come. And the circumstances
make still more glorious the act. They
have taught the lesson that freeman can
never be trampled on with impunity, and
they have done it in the face of Federal
threats and frowns. Verify. the day of ret
ribution is dawning. and that all who have
insulted and outraged helpless people,
may feel its scathing wrath. is our fervent
prayer.

The LOWEST TYPE OF HuMANrry.-The
"Barbarism and Civilization" in IN the that:Atl Altar:
tic Monthly:
On the Island of Borneo there has been
found certain race Of wild creatures, of
which kindred varieties have been discov-
cred in the Philippine Islands, in Terra Del
Fuego, and in South America. They walk,
usually. erect on their legs, and in that at
titude. measure about four feet in height.
They are dark, wrinkled and hairy. They
construct no habitatien, form no families,
scarcely associate together, sleep in caves
or trees. feed on snakes and vermin. on
ants egg, on mica end on each other. They
cannot be tanned or forced to any labor.
and are hunted and shot among the trees
like the great gorilla, of which they are
stunted copy. When they are captured
alive, one fluids with surprise that their un-
couth jabbering sounds like articulate Ian
guage. They turn up human face to
gaze at their captor. and females show in
stincts of modesty; and. in fine. these
wretehed being are men.

During the past few years. DR.. Oscar
Schmidt, professor of Zoology at the Uni
versity of Gratz. has employed several
weeks of the early summer in artificially
producing and rearing the bath sponge.
His process is to cut the sponge into pie
ces. fssten each portion to pile. and i'm
merse it in the sea. The pieces then grow.
and eventually from each one . spherical
sponge is obtained. According to the esti-
mates of DR.. Schmidt. small peice of
sponge, at the end of three years. will rep
resent value Of ten cents. The total cost
of raising 1000 sponges. including the inter-
est on the expended capital for three years,
is estimated at forty-two dollars and forty
cents. and the income about eighty dol
lars. leaving therefore. a net profit of thirty
seven dollars and sixty cents.

Mr.. Sullivant the extensive Illinois far
mer, raised 100000 bushels of corn last
year. 1t required 5000 worth of lumber
to build the crib. One hundred and twenty
five hands were employed in husking. and
il required an eight hundred pound bullock
per day to feed his large family.
The Western Farmer says: ''WiscOn-
sin tobacco has a good reputation in the
markets. Those who have engaged in this
culture on land adopted to it. have generally
been repaid. l. is suggested to Us by one
who himself tried it. that a few acres-two
or tbree-of tobacco would be an advisable
side crop on many FARMS"

Shall We Submit, or Aeitate.

'.The present dominant faction can never
be driven from power by iguoring before the
people their most proscriptive and reckless
usurpatlons. The issue must be distinctly
made and boldly met, between the reserved
sovereign rights of the States. and their
avowed policy of consolidation and centrali l.
cation. ."-Ater, III. Stephens Of Georgia.
Every outrage of the dominant faction.
quietly submitted to and ignored by the
people has been but an invitation to other
usurpations which have regularly followed.
And every new aggression Of federal power
upon the rights Of the States and people,
only strengthens consolidation and centrali-
zation and makes them the more difficult to
be undone. The sentiments we have quoted
above from the late letter of the Hon. A. II,
Stephens, warmly approving the speech of
General Frank Blair Oh the famous Broad
head letter, are the ut.erance Of wise and
patriotic statesman, and ought to be beaded

have no sympathy with those craven hearted
pohtlcians who constantly preach moGera-
non ana submission, when they ought to crv
aloud and agitate against the continuance
OF Radical measures of Capitalization We
agree with MIR. Stephens that the issue sbould
oe distinctly made and boldly met. whether
the sovereign right Of the States shall be re-
stored or consolidation and Capitalization
De permitted TO become the fixed and per.
manent policy of government. We don't
oe"eSe IN taking from the States the power
to regulate suffrage and do believe in
ag'tating until that power is restored. We
don't believe in any Radical measures which
propose to take from the States the rigbt ~
ADOPT their own criminal codes, and punish

nents on the reserved rights of the States,

lions are just now the leading topics of
conversation among those of our citizsns
who take lively interest 10 local matters
Il is now evident that something is about
to happen In respect to each of the insti-
tutiOns mentioned.
Fast drivers were out in force yesterday,
and some three or four of the brigade fell
into the delicate embraces of the police.
Mrs. Mary X. Davis was yesterday ap-
pointed and qualified as administrative up

Maria Burns, who was afflicted with an
extraordinary fondness for hog meat, was
arraigned before Justice Cassetty to an

from that cause. A compromise was effect,
ed with the prosecutor, and Maria was
told to go and sin no more.
A crazy horse made rough stampede
through the Markethouse yesterday, in q
frui'less effort to get into dry place. Find
ing such thing impossible, he gracefully

The trains arriving yesterday evening
were not uDcomfortably crowded with
passengers.
AS it VIII hardly be possible to complete
the repairs being made at the Courthouse
