evening State SaarnaL
General Grant.


Whilst many of us differ with General
Grant, few will say that the people of Yir-
ginia have cause to complain of his treat
ment. Whilst the state has presented con-
tinually since 1869, a solid front against the
Republican party, President Grant has
shown a friendly disposition towards Vir-
ginia. We are led to these remarks by see
ing the attempts to saddle the troubles
now affecting some of the southern states
upon "Grant's policy" If "Grant's
policy" has given those states their trouble,
why has not his policy given Virginia
trouble? That portion of the south is
sorely afflicted, none will deny, and all
good people must sincerely regret,
but we do not see the justice
of blaming either President Grant or
his administration for the Affections of tle
south. Were we called upon for an
opinion as to the cause of the trouble
with our southern brethren, we should say
it was too much ''local selfgovernment"
!. e. that sort of government for which
the lamented Greeley so zealously labored
and which was established before
Gen. Grant held his present position.
As there is no Presidential election pend
ng we will not be accused of trying TO
influence anybody's vote. Gen. Grant is
to be our president for the present or the
next three and half years, and whatever
of good or evil Virginia IS to receive at the
hands of the general government, is to be
received through Grant and his administra-
tion. Taking the past as criterion, we
think we need have no fears for the future.
lie hrs said he was not president of the
party that elected him, but Of the whole
country. We think we know enough of
him to believe he means to deal Justly
with all, without regard to politics.

% NATURAL ROTATION OF CROPS
Agriculturists had long been practically con-
versant with the advantages derivable from
the practice of not growing the same
crop on the same soil for too long a
period. The advantages consequent ON
this so-ealled rotation of crops are
due to mor, than one cause; but it was
bureau de la Male who, in 1925. called
attention to the phenomenon of natural ro-
tation. From long observation of what
takes place in woods and pasture-lands, he
established the fact that an alienation of
growth, as he called 1t, occurs as a natural
phenomena. In pasture-lands, for instance,
the grasses get the upper band at one time,
the leguminous plants at another, SO that,
in the course of thirty years, the author
whose observations we are citing was wit

caused to be issued handbills notifying per-
sons who carry on business under the
stamp tax license that they must apply for
such licenses and put them in some con-
spicuous place IN their places of business
without further notice.
The post-office department is constantly
besieged with letters from all parts
of the country complaining that printed
matter forwarded by them has been SUBJ
jected to letter postage. Officials at the
post-of1ice department state that it appears
to be impossible to make the general pub
lie understand that under law as far
back as 1925 printed matter enclosed in a
wrapper and containing writing therein be-
sides the address is subject to letter post
age, and also where the package of printed
matter is so sealed as to prevent an exami-

A STORY OF HENRY CLAY.-Sam
