TAKE MORE THAN One CHANcE-No good
farmer in these days risks his all on the chance
of one crop. If you notice, oil the staple crops
are now ruling low; tobacco, cotton, corn, pea
nuts-all are down. The only staples that are
holding up are wheat and hay. The staples are
not likely to advance much, for large quantities
of the old crops are still on hand. If the farm
er will first take care to raise his meat and bread
his fruit and vegetables. his manures and stock
at home, he will be safe, and may then venture
to make q specially of some one staple MS n crop.
But never let your interest in the market crops
cause you for moment to neglect home supplies.

MORTON MoLLIrIEp.--Indianapo May 20.
Senator Morton has written letter defining
his position OH the questions of the day. He
warmly indorses the policy of the administration.
but insists that the Republican. governments Of
Louisiana and South Carolina have been oyerturn-
ed by an armed minority. He admits that in any
event Republicans would have lost these States,
as majority Of the negroes did not carry the
moral force that the white minority did. He
believes that the administration Of President
Hayes will stand by the principles of the Re-
publican party, and for one he will not be found
fighting among his opponents.
The extremists among the Republicans are
greatly excited and demoralized to day by Nor
tons letter on the Southern question. They
were counting on him to oppose the President
in Congress. The effect of the letter is to make
them believe that Kellogg has no chance Of get
ting his seat. Democrats characterize the letter
as an act of cocrced loyalty to the President, in
order to retain his hold on the public patronage,
and thus promote his reelection.

SENATOR Buffers CONDUCT AT THE CAPTURE
OF CHAMBERsBuRG.-The Philadelphia Times
says: "Mr G. r. Messersmith, who was q bank
cashier at Chambsrsburg at the time Gen. Jeb.
Stuart raided that place, has written q letter to
Senator M. c. Butler, of South Carolina, who
was one Of the raiding party, which letter is full
of the spirit Of good will which the Presidents
policy has inspired. Mr.. Messersmith says that
long ago he decided that as soon as all irritating
traces cf the war were obiterated he would write
Gen. Butter and thank him for his kind and
gentle treatment Of his family, at the trying time
when Chambersburg was in the hands Of the
Confederates. Now says Mr.. Messersmith
that President Hayes has released the last of
the States from military rule, deem it fitting
occasion to do 80, and to assure you of my pleas
ant recollection and good wishes, and to say to
you now, what could not say when last we
met that would be glad to see you at my
home, where warm and cordial greeting will
always await you. This is q good kind of recon-
ciliation, and Mr.. Messersmith's letter will
doubtless give Senator Butler q somewhat differ
ent character than he has had in the eyes Of
most Northern people"

nea- Among the Western Excursionist. who

n@- Among the Western Excursionists who
passed through this State few days ago were
two brothers, by the name of Means, relatives
of the Means and Fosters of this and Spartan
burg Counties. They stopped at Union on their
way to Spartanburg, and our friend, Capt. A. II.
Foster. made their acquaintance and claimed
relationship to them. lie also went to Spartan
burg with them, where they met the venerable
mother of Captain Foster aud many other rels-
tives who they had never seen before. The
Editor Of the Spartanburg Herald thus speaks
Of these gentlemen:
"Thcse brothers, now advsn ced in years, one
accompanied by q son, paid Spartanburg . visit
last week and went out to the old homestead of
their father, where Col. Jno. NJ. Crook now
lives, and seemed to take great interest in vis-
iting the scenes Of their boyhood days. They
are relatives of the Means and Fosters of this
place, who moved to Ohio in 1917 or 1918 carry
ing their slaves with them, whom they set FREQ
after reaching Ohio. One of them came back
on visit to this State some forty-fve years ago,
but found few friends living with whom he met
then DR.. g. p. Woodruff, an old acquaintance
who visited their father in 1880, called to see
them while here, and they met Gen. James
Crook, IN old school mate. With these two ex.
ceptions all with whom they met were new faces.
One Of them lives in Ohio and the other in Ken
lucky. Both are engaged in the iron business.
in which they have amassed immense fortunes.
