Read Making.

The Farmers Friend says: The con
dition of the roads III any locality Is an
index of the character of its inhabi-
tants. In new wild countries Door
roads are expected ; in prosperous coun-
tries good roads are certain to prevail.
and variation from bad to good is a
test of the civilization of the people. 1t
needs no labored argument to convince
any individual of common sense that
no county investment Yields a better
return than the outlay in improving
the roads, that good roads increase the
value of all lands bordering on them.
and add to the returns of all the pro-
ducts of the soil by diminishing the
cost Of transportation. Good roads
can never be expected until our com
munitv Is thoroughly aroused to the
fact that they are cheaper than poor
ones, the rule which too often prevails
being to see how little can be done to
continue the roads passable for another
season. If the daily contribution of
teamsters and travellers on bad roads in
the form Of broken wheels, harness and
and wagons, sprained and injured hor-
ses, lost tempers and wicked oaths,
could be aggregated in one mass, they
would form an un-answerable argu-
ment in favor of the economy and ne
cessity Of improvement in highways.

Take Warming.

When a burly youth betakes HIM
self to the vile habit of carrying con-
cealed weapons, he straightway broods
over the act Of killing somebody as a
thing to give him high standing in the
community. The current of his
thoughts always in this channel, wears
away all moral restraint, and then On
slight provocation he becomes a muir
derer, hated by God, Stunned by good
men; perhaps hanged like dog, or
imprisoned to show a white face beyond
iron CRATES the balance of his life
Young man, start not down hill thus !;
otherwise, let us say farewell to you as
fclon-as a wretch whose damnation is
certain What viii you 90 to Gods
bar with the red hands ola murderer?
VIII the friends who applaud you as a
bully soothe you in the death hour
when the mystery and helplessness of
the last dread change Grapes the uni
verse in "'the blackness Of darkness ?"
What good will your pistol do you then {?

4 WORD 10 FARMERS.

We desire to call the attention of
our farmers to the Importance of early
sowing of wheat. We learn that those
farmers who SOW early on land well
prepared almost invariably make fine
wheat and rye crops, while those who
delay till cold weather almost invari-
ably fail. There is no probability
we almost said possibility-that cotton
will command more than nine or ten
cents per pound next year. On the
other hand the famine in India and
war will keep up the
price of breadstuffs, Notwithstanding
the tremendous crops of the North
west. Besides all this the only way
for the farmer to be independent is to
raise his supplies of bread and meat at
home.

DEATH OF ADMIRAL SEMMES.

Another Corinthian pillar is fallen.
This world-f9med Confederate naval
captain died last week at his residence
near Mobile, Ala. One by one our
historical landmarks are passing away.
In the case of Raphael Semmes the
iron sarcophagus may confne his NOR
tai remains, but his name and fame are
the free and cherished inheritance Of
millions of devoted countrymen, while
his achievements will ever remain in
dissolubly associated with the most
brilliant exploits in the annals Of he
role daring. Under his guiding hand
the famous blockade runner Alabama
drove from the high seas heavily arm
ed Federal men-of-war, and made the
rich commercial marine of the United
States cling to the strong protection of
fortified ports. The keel Of his gallant
shin moved to and fro across the ocean
with the same dashing ntrepidity that
characterized the land marches Of

The Reason why Money is so Scarce.

An exchange very truthfuIly and
sens bly, remarks: The farmers are the
only producers, and it is through their
wheat, corn, cotton, &C., that money is
brought into the State.-But on the
other hand we have to buy everything
manufactured from the North and
West. We buy everything from a
thresher to aXe-handle, and this takes
our money away, and leaves but little
in circulation. Wemanufacture moth
ing, except a few wagons in town and
most. of the timber for them Is brought
here in the shape ofspokes, felloes and
hounds. If we wish to keep our money
at home we must lave manufactures.
We have an abundance Of wood, but
we make nothing out of it. Our buc-
kets, pals, tubs and brooms, are made
weere wood is scarce. We can never
be independent until we utilize the raw
material Of all kinds that grow spon-
taneous on our hands. We must learn
to be more reliant on our own resources
and make all we need. even our own
clOtees out Of the cotton and wool we
raise.

MACON COLLEGE AT
ASHLAND. VIRGINIA.

This time-honored institution of
learning, under the Presidency of Rev
DIR. James \. Duncan, has enjoyed
since the war an era Of great prosperity.
1t has rendered eminent educational
services to the country. Its graduates
may be found in the highest civil, com
mercial, literary and ecclesiastical sta
tons. For thorough and exact schoI-
arship, this institution has no superior
in the South. The University of Viz
ginia may have more extended faeili-
ties, but Randolph Macon is reputcd
among educators to be a school at
which the best and broadest culture
may be secured. But that which es-
pecially distinguishes this seat Of learn
ing is the elevated Christian influences
surrounding young men. In these
times there is much danger that the
education Of youth may be forced into
false channels. To develope and ener-
gise the mind and at the same time
impoverish and dwarf the moral sus-
capabilities is an unsound and one
sided education. DR.. Duncan by nature
and attainments is f;r-famed as an ex-
pert in enthusing youth with just con-
ceptions Of an honorable, Christian
manhood. If there is anything of
worth in youth, DR.. Duncan is sure
to find it and develope it. He is as
sisted by an able corps of professors,
conspicuous among whom is our old
friend and classmate Prof VIM. a.
Shepard, who has charge of the De
partment of Chemistry and Natural
Philosophy. In another column APP

THE HORRORs OF FAMINE.
TWenty-f0ur Million Persons Afflicted in
Southern India-j0O, 900 Dead.

TWentY-fOuF Million Persons Afflicted in
Southern India 900 Dead.
LONDON. Aug. 29.-The editor of
the Madras Times, who is a member of
the relief committee, writes under date
Of Aug. l. as follows: "The population
in Southern India more or less afflicted
by flmme numbers $4,000, 600, In
the most favorable circumstances at
least one-sixth of the people will die.
The famine Is UNNECESSARILY greater
than was that in Bengal. Twenty
three people, in all died Of starvation
in Bengal. In Madras, no camp of
5000 rises morning after morning with
out leaving thirty corpses. In the in
terror the distress Is most fearful. One
gentleman passing down a valley in
the Wynaad district counted twenty
nine dead bodies on the road A cof-
fee planter seeking shelter from the
rain, in hut, found six decomposing
eorpses in it. On any day, and every
day, mothers may be seen in the streets
of Madras offering their children for
sale, while the foundling portion of the
poor house Is full Of infants found by
the police on the roads, deserted by
their parents. Since the famine COM
menced 100000 people have died Of
want and distress. The first big ira
cedy may be expected in Mysore. In
that province indeed, information has
reached me from Bangalore of two
cases of eannibalism already"

suit Of discounted and broken Federal
legions. Though the great, brave
heart of Semmes has ceased to beat, yet
the career Of the man Is not voiceless
He was loyal to the teachings of tlevo-
ted patriotism, and in his work of war
no needless cruelty ever stained his
sword or Knocked the pure inspiration
Of the starred and barred pennant that
foated above him. He fought and
struggled for Il principle as represented
in his defence Of an oppressed and i'm
perilled country. He sleeps in the
soil his hcroism vainIy essaycd to re-
deem from INVASION but his deeds are
the inheritance ofcoming ages. Great
men in dying become great living
teachers. They syllable not in words
but their characters speak mute elo-
quence that neither time nor change
can waste or diminish. The great
heart Of Lee may be returning to the
dust from which it came, but that
which made his life so eminently pure
and heroically noble lives and beats in
the reverence of an admiring age, and
his canonized worth Will ever teach
succeeding generations the way that
leads to the truest and best develop
ment. Let US emulate the virtues of
our dead heroes and give their deeds
the homage ola grateful remembrance.

After the military reverses suffered
in Bulgaria, the Russians are COM
PEELED reluctantly to admit that the
Christian populations there whom they
desire to free from the Mussulmans are
much better off than the corresponding
classes ofthe Russian peasentry. Their
fields stretch out broadly under Bounti-
full crops Of mellow grain their barns
are yet stocked with last years hay ;
their villages have four or five Chris
tan churches for every mosque; and in
the enjoyment Of these things are quite
as secure under the loose rule of the
Sultans as they could ever hope to be
under the vigorous sway Of the Cars.
At least, these are the observations at
tributed to Russian officers by a CORES
pendent Of the London Ne,c8, a paper
whose sympathies are not with the
Turks, On the whole, Bulgaria does
not appear to be lucky province for
the Russians.

CAPT. j. b. EADs has delivered an
address before the Pittsburg Chamber
of Commerce on his Mississippi jetty
system, The jetties in their yet incom-
pIete state, he said, are already demon
strating- their success by cutting away
the sand bar. That obstruction once
gone, there viii be a greater depth
and wider expanse Of water TO re-
ceive the sediment of the Mississippi,
with the various currents of the Gulf
to distribute it, thus efeetUally pre-
venting any reformation Of the sand
bar. The proposed deepening Of the
Mississippi, Captain Eads says,
means the reclamation of $1,000
square miles of the richest alluvial
lands on the globe, without resorting
TO an uncertain and expensive system
Of levees. 1t means lowering the food
line of the river below the surface of
an area almost as great as the State Of
Ohio, and located in the most. genial
climate in the world. 1t means the
permanency of twenty-five hundred
miles Of river banks, whose destruction
now affords Il constant supply Of dam
gerous snags in its channel, to the
great detriment of commerce. The in
creased value of the lands reclaimed
would greatly exceed the total cost Of
of this Improvement.

THE MORMON APOSTLE DEAD.

While the true and the good and
the noble die, the base and the false
are also making marches tothe grave.
In the death of Brigham Young, a
baleful star is set. For over twenty
five years his influence has been a
curse to American civilization. Pro-
tec.ed nd garrisoned by impossible
mountains and an inhospitable region,
this daring spirit Of evil surrounded
himself by governmental forms and
upheld his authority in defiance Of fed
eral armies and judicial processes. But
this creature is dead. With his dying
may his followers forsake the iniquity
of their ahominable doctrines.

THE BANK OF ENGLAND ALARMED.
AnitcIpating Large Exports of Gold to

anticipating R4SIS In POItS Oh UOIu 10
New York to Meet Grain Shipments.
LONDON, Aug. % The Times in
its financial article, commenting on yes
terday's change in the bank rate, says !;
Independently Of the possible fur
Their Withdrawals Of gold by the Ger
man Government, the bank had to con-
slider more what IS likely to be the eX-
port Of bullion to America III the future
than what has actually been sent thither
The bills sent in for discount yesterday
were probably negotiated in anticipa-
ton of the Withdrawals Of gold to-day
for that quarter to meet grain ship
ments, and whether or not the outer
market can maintain even its present
terms for three months bank bills and
thus support the bank III Its endeavor
to turn the exchanges in our favor,
there is little doubt that the decision
taken Yesterday was wise. Reports
from our own provincial districts tell
us that heavy rain Is general and Is
causing considerable anxiety, while In
the midland countries the gathering in
of harvest Is seriously imPeded. The
Black Sea is practically closed, and
we have therefore every reason to eX-
pect that we must not only takea very
much larger quantity of grain from
the United States than we have re-
quired in former years, but that we
must pay a much higher price for it.
This being the case, the bank has no
other course open to it but to place it
self in strong defensive position in
in good time If bad weather in this
country continues the position can easily
can become serious for the Bank Of
England, for the export Of gold in that
case, looking at the comparatively
small general imports Of the United
States from Europe soon runs into many
millions sterling"
