IN A NUTSHELL

Republicans manifest much distress
over the fact that Governor Vance in
his speeches does not solicit the negro
vote
They say it is drawing the color line.
Well, suppose it isp Let it draw.

The Washington monum.,,

1t is estimated that it will take S45O
900 to complete the Washington monu.
ment on the present plan. The bill
recently passed by Congress appropri-
ates $4,000 to the work, in the ex.
pectation that the remainder will he
raised by popular contributions. There
has been expended on it lup to this
time $230.0O0, When completed the
monument will be higher than any
other monument, obelisk, dome or
spire in the world, as the following
comparison shows:

From the Albany Argus

A satisfactory explanation of the in.
crease in thu ordinary expenses of the
government since 1912 may be found
in the increased number of government
officials--an increase which has taken
place notwithsf anding the decrease in
the business of the internal revenue
department. See the figures. This is

THE NINE QUESTIONS.

Governor Vance is pounding Judge
Settle most mercilessly. He has pre-
pared series of questions that he
constantly asks and that Settle con-
stantly refuses to answer. - He does
not dare to answer them. Judge Set
ties only chance of election depends
upon deceiving the people as to the
purposes of the Radical party. If
Judge Settle answers Governor Vance's
questions in one way he viii find him~
self on the Democratic platform,
and if he answers them in all
other way the people can not be
forced to vote for him and so he
refuses TO answer them at all. Gov
ernor Vance hns got him in close
place and will doubtless keep lin
there. The nine questions that bother
Kinks exhausted Judge so much arr /:
l. Was I'll ilden's suspension of the
hnbeas corpus legal ''
2. Which of the constitutional
amendments are got d aud which are
bad .sr a tssH.t t-a.
3. How did the South get out of the
Union ?
4. Can Congress confer the right of
| suffrage ? -.-....t.g
5. Was the Louisiana outrage oon-
stitutional :? ''' $500"
6. Was Judge Settle not elected to
| the Supreme Bench by fraud
| 7. Does Judge Settle approve
| Grants administration
8. Does he approve the civil rights
bill ? .. ...H ..-. ... ...
9. Was desertion from the army

order of Governor Vance.


And thus stands the record between
ZEBULoN VANCE and THOMAS SETTLE
In time of profound peace Settle, a
sworn Judge upon the bench, permit
ted the great writ of HGbeas Corpus
to be trampled in the dust under the
feet of the Tennessee Cut-throat and
with it the Constitution and laws of
the State. Vance, in time of terrible
war, upheld and maintained, sacred
and inviolate, the privilege of that
great writ for the humblest as we'll as
for the proudest citizen in all the
land! Which of these two, fellow
citizens, is worthy to be your Gov
ernOr ?

HOW ABOUT HAMBURG l-TH
TRUTH AT LAST.


The evidence submitted before
Judge Maher at Aiken, 8. O., on
Thursday, says the Charleston Meas
and Courier, Is exceedingly important.
and, as far as it goes, is conclusive.
Men of high character, upon oath,
prove that the armed negroes whom Doc
Adams commanded were a standing
threat and danger to the community,
that the organization was confessehly
formed in hostility to the whites, that
the armed negroes defed the authority
of Prince Rivers, and that not shot
was fired by the whites until after the
killing of young Meriwether by the
! negroes.
Ali the parties implicated were ad-
mitted to bail, the highest bail re-
quired being only II thousand dollars.
The Radicals are welcome to all they
can make out of the Hamburg "Hor-

VANCE'S VINDICATION COMPLETE AND
TRIUMPHANT,

In 1868 when certain officers of the
Confederate Government were about
to arrest as conscripts and deserters
men who had been discharged under
writs of Habeas Corpus Governor
Vance promptly issued the following
order:

By EDGAR FAWCETT.

In dreams / found wondrous land
Radiant with roses on each hand,
No grasses trees, nor shrubs were there,
But roses poisoning everywhere.
Great velvet-petaled blooms were these:
Red millions trembled in each breeze.
They swept toward the horizons verge
In many splendid ample surge
They spread on all sides one intense
Monotony of magnifcence.
Then suddenly, where my pathway ran,
Loomed the vague presence of a man.
And in his clasp, with strange delight
saw one daisy, glimmering white.
Such daisies bloom in slender sprays
By throngs among June's meadowed ways
Yet all my soul, at this weird hour,
Leaned out to that one simple flower.
For chastely, delicately fair,
And better still, supremacy rare,
1t wore pastoral charm so sweet,
This lovely, hssom Marguerite,
That seeing it was like dear repose
To me, whose whole heart loathed rose.

How to BUY Meats,

To the housekeeper the question how
to select meat, when she is purchasing
for table use is pulling one. An Eng
lish journal gives some hints on this
subject.
Good wholesome meat should neither
be of pale rosy or pink color, nor of
a deep purple. The first denotes the
diseased condition, the last proves that
the animal has died a natural death.
Good meat has more of marble look,
III consequence of the branching of the
veins which surround the adipose cells.
The fat, especially of the inner organs,
is always firm and suety, and never
moist, while in general the fat from dis.
eased animals is habby and watery, and
more often resembles jelly or boiled
parchment. Wholesome meat will al
ways show itself firm and elastic to the
touch, and exhibit no dampness, while
bad meat will appear soft and moist, in
fact often more wet, SO that the liquid
substance runs out of the blood when
pressed hard. Good meat has very lit
tie smell, while unsound meat has
disagreeable cadaverous smell, and
diffuses a certain medicinal odor.
Lastly, bad meat has the peculiarly
that it shrinks considerably in the boil
ing; wholesome meat rather swells, and
does not lose an ounce in weight.

How to Paint.

A little paint, like charity, hides 9
multitude of imperfections. It is a
mistake to let farm buildings, fences,
machinery, ETC., go on from time to
time without an occasional coat of
paint if it is possible to have the work
done: 1t costs something, but if it can
be afforded the saving will more than
pay for all the outlay, especially if the
farmer understands how cheaply it can
be done by doing it himself. The Fall
of the year is, perhaps, the best season
for doing the work, the flies get out of
the way and the heat becomes SO mod
crate as not to damage the durability of
the paint.
Professional painters do not always
mix the paints in such manner as to
make its lasting qualities the most
satisfactory, for the reason that by
adding turpentine and other dryers the
paint, will spread more easily and much
more rapidly than when the material is
prepared in such condition as to be
more durable. Professional painters
repare the paint to look well at first,
hard enough but with little elasticity,
and it soon comes off to be replaced
again, thus affording another job for
the painter.
1t is wonderful how little work in
repairing and Strengthening up Of
things about the premises of q farm
house, with a coat of paint or two on
buildings, ETC., makes a change in the
looks of things. It is a great saving,
too, to keep buildings and machinery
protected from the destructive infu-
ences of the elements. The mixed
paints are prepared in the various
shades of color, and ground SO fine that
it goes much further than when mixed
by the ordinary painter. With a good
sized brush made Of fine bristles, the
paint may be laid on evenly. The
brush must be drawn in straight lines
in the direction of the grain of the
wood, and be thoroughly brushed.
When not in use the brush should be
kept immersed in the paint, oil, or in
water, and be kept in as straight 81 po-
sition as possible. When the work is
done the brush may be cleaned in tur-
pentine or benzine, dried and laid away
for future use. The expense of keep
ing machinery and buildings well paint
ed is much less in the long run, than
to be continually making the repairs
made necessary from exposure to the
elements.

Profits of Mutton.

A correspondent of the Practical Far
naer, residing within twenty-five miles
of Philadelphia, states that one of his
certain and reliable sources of profits
from year to year is keeping sheep.
When | first began farming twenty-five
years ago, he writes, [ depended en-
tirely upon southdowns. They have
always proved with me prolific breed
ers, capital nurses, hard and good feed
ers, and my Southdown mutton ranks
in the market with "gilt-edge" butter.
I inform my regular customers when |
am going to have fine leg Or
loin Of pure Southdown, and they go
90 off fast at three to five cents ABOVE
the market price. In fact Southdown
mutton is the best mutton in the world.
IF quality of meat was the only de-
sideratum [ would make to change, but
as coarser woods now bring the highest
price, and as perhaps | gain little in
the weight, of which am not altogeth-
er certain, (but at least do not lose
any, I have made che cross on my
flock of one hundred ewes with the
Cotswold. The best result and the
finest carcass have resulted where the
Southdown buck was used on the Cots
void eve. / do not want any finer
sheep that this makes, and [ try to
keep them for my purpose one-half
SouthdoWn and one-half Cotswold.
What lambs | have to spare are sold
in advance to your butchers at s. per
head. I raise roots, which L consider
indispensable in the sheep business,
and with good management | have the
lambs in the market In March and
April. I consider the roots make a
good substitute for grass, keep them in
food heart and with fine health fol
early pasture. 1t promotes the How OF
milk appetites. [ have always followed
the advice in your paper to keep al
my animals healthy and thriving. Ii
