1T is not necessary to follow the.writer IN
the Savannah Neaos into his discussion OF
what his city needs to- give her commercial
supremacy. II Savannah can obtain lines
OF European steamships and cargoes for
them, both ways; if she can become the ont
let for Western produce and Georgia mine
rails; if she can build large number Of fac
tories and run an air line railroad to Mem
phis-she will improve her position, and we
shall rejoice in her new life and vigor. all
that we desire to have kept in mind is the
broad truth that Charleston, with far greater
natural advantages, has more independent
elements OF growth than Savannah has;
and far from being behind hand, is, in most
material points, q long way ahead OF her
Georgia rival.

tea which had been poisoned, and the death
of the mother shortly after the discovery
would seem TO indicate some such theory. IL

The Ku-Klu1 Gases.

An interesting special telegram from our
Washington correspondent gives the infor-
nation that the decision OF the Supreme
Court upon the appeal in the case OF
E. Jefferson Greer, one OF the Ku-Klux
prisoners, will be delivered. on Monday.
The motion to be decided by the Court, as
we understand it, involves the whole ques.
ton whether Congress has the power to sus-
pend the writ OF ha6eas corpus in time OF
profound peace, and whether, if 1t has that
power, it can delegate it to the President,
who, in turn, may transfer his delegated .au-
thority to every civil and military officer In
the service Of the United States. This Is the
momentous question now TO be determined,
and the result viii be the same; II it come in
the form Of q refusal to allow the cause to
be argued ,upon It's merits, or II it be given
in a judicial declaration Of the constitution
alfty of the Enforcement Act.
The special dispatches Of our correspond
eent are full and clear, and, considering the
magnitude OF the interests at stake, it is
somewhat strange that TIE CHARLESTON
NEWS should be the only newspaper in the
State which has taken the trouble to keep its
readers fully informed Of the progress OF the
appeals; to the Supreme Court The counsel
who represent Mr.. Avery and his compan.
ions are not pleading for the exemption Of
any individual from punishment, They
raise their voice in vindication OF the consti-
tutional rights of every citizen OF the Re
public; rights which, for their own sake,
neither Radicals nor Democrats can afford
to place at the mercy Of a political majority.
Yet The CHARLESTON NEWS Is the one paper
in this State which has made any special
effort to lay the incidents and the conse-
quences OF the trial promptly before It's
readers, - ------------ -.----.-,.

The New Domesday Book.

One great cry Of the English demagogues
is that the soil, the common Inheritance, is
monopolized by a few individuals. and this
idea is encouraged by the oratorical state
ment that all the broad acres of England. be-
long to only 1000 persons. 0n+he other side
OF the water the leading statesmen do not
seem to fear scrutiny OF popular griev-
ance, and Earl Derby has made motion in
the House OF Lords, to which the govern
ment has assented, for nominal list OF
.'everry owner OF land, to the extent Of one
"acre or upwards, in every county in Eng.
'.land, together with the quantity Of land
"which each owner has in the county,"
Everybody will welcome the prospect Of this
new Domesday Book, which will set at rest
the curious controversy Of fact which has
arisen US to the English people being di-
vorced from the soil. A striking instance OF
the popular error is given by the Marquis Of
Salisbury. The number OF landed proprie-
tors in Hertfordshire was stated at 245, and
the Marquis, as the result OF his own in.
quifies, arrived at The conclusion that the
actual number was about $500. Lord Derby,
who does not speak carelessly, has expressed
the belief that, 'insteadoi $4,000 landed pro-
prietors, the actual number in England is
nearer 300, 900, representing 100000 per-
sons, 1t seems likely, therefore, that the
shrieks about. the land monopoly in Eng
land will prove to be as well. ll.founded as the
American yells about the pauper labor OF

A writer in one of our magazines intimates
that managing mammas are about as COM
mon among the wealthy and aristocratic in
our own cities as in any part of Europe.
In this connection the writer says "There
is lady we'll known in one Of our cities who
has married off a large family of daughters
eligibly, and prides herself openly on having
performed q mothers duty. Not one Of
them,' says this frank woman, when speak
ing of her sons-in-law, would have married
daughter Of mine if l had not brought it
about by little dinners and adroit attentions,
by making opportunities for intercourse,
and-and by putting it in their heads. And
they are all very happy. l think the world
would be much better off if the question of
marriage were settled for people by any
body but themselves >"

MUTTON SHEEP, AND THEIR
WOOL.

If growers Of contingencies should raise
sheep primarily to produce mutton should
attend to the breed, aud keep their sheep
well fed, and care for them generally and
should also try to mature them early. so as
to sell the carcass,-by this means We should
have wool we'll fed, from young, healthy,
strong, woll-bred, fat sheep, which is just the
wool wanted for cOmbing and delaine pur-
poses. Farmers cannot keep these large
sheep on lean pastures, with but little care Of
them, and have good wool. And the great
reason the combing-wOol sheep run out when
brought from England and Canada is that
they do not get the same care and treatment
they had in those countries, and are often
kept on soil they are not adapted to, and are
not fed sufficiently. The wool from Leices-
ter sheep that has been in the United States
two years is generally harsher, and leaner,
and worth much less than it would have been
ifthe sheep had stayed in Canada or England.
Now, this will not always be so, for growers
will yet learn that these large sheep need
more to eat than the small merino, and their
food should not consist of Indian corn, but
they should have some roots, mangel wurzel
and oil cake. When sheep are fed on corn
they are too hot and feverish, and the WOO
becomes harsh and brittle, while a proper
supply of roots aud oil cake with other fooC
would produce soft, sound, and elastic wool

THE CARE OF WINTER APPLES


The way that most farmers save their
winter apples is to hole them up like pota-
toes, or pile them up in a cave or cellar.
By this method you not only lose much val
liable time, but lose very many apples, and
what you do keep over winter are in bad
condition. Apples may be kept in barrels
that are quite open. but the best and cheap
est way is to keep them is in crates or boxes
made in the following manner The ends or
head pieces should be ten or twelve inches
wide, by fifteen to eighteen long; they can
be sawed or split; nail your boards on the
bottom and sides, leaving places for ventila-
tion. Have your boards all the same length;
about three feet.
When you gather your apples from the
trees put in these boxes (be careful to not
bruise them) and lay the boxes on each 9th
er in your apple house. Two men will han
die these boxes with ease. You can look
your apples over in these boxes at any time
with but little labor. When you are ready
to ship, just nail a board over the top and
you are ready. In this way you get your
apples in market in good condition and han
die them but once. Keep your house al
cold as possible at all times without freezing
