well in the chicken business this season that
moved 10 give the figures taken from
her daily record, TO show what may be accom-
plshed in a short time with few hens; On the
lst of January, 1850 she started with 100 hens.
She did not build any house, letting them roost
on the fences, I'm the trees or where they might
choose and has taken uo special care OF them. The
hens are mostly Gf the white and brown LeghOrn,
crossed with Lhe white PolandS, and were nearly
all Spring pullet> when she bought them.
From the 100 hens Mrs. Findiey has sold 500
dozen eggs in the San Francisco markets, which
have averaged her about twenty-toUr cents a
dozen This number does not include the eggs
used in her household, nor those set 10 raise
chickens from Since the grain began 10 ripen
she has not fed the hens thing, and the cost
of feed prior To that time Will not exceed so.
Mrs. Findley has had the of the hens herself,

4 POLITICAL club in Greenville.
South Carolina, naming itself "The
Tigers" has held a meeting since
the election and resolved on giving
employment to none but Demo
Gratis. 1t resolved that henceforth
its members would rent no lands
or have upon their premises any
man who voted the Republican
ticket and that merchants be re-
quested to employ only Democrats.
The Chicago Times, which support
ed Hancock, says, "a few industti-
Gus Tiger clubs in the south can
make it certain that not even a
forged Chinese letter will defeat
the Republicans in a single north
ern State in 1884" This pro-
scriptive method of PROSECUTING
comes naturally to imbecile minds
and to tyrants. There are those
who entertain it and practice it in
the North as well as the South.
Mediocre talent when it gets into
power at once sets itself to clip
ping the wings Of industry that do
not contribute to their individual
benefit. For awhile those who
practice such methods swim on the
surface, but in time, when the
buoy of industry pushed away has
iloated beyond their reach, they
sink to the bottom. Base, blind
selfshneSs never sees that the
bottomless pit is at the end Of the
path.

If the advertising and selling is not
done as the law directs the lands
cannot legally be sold for the taxes.
If it does not sell under such cir
cumstances a lawsuit would COM
pei if to refund the money with 7
per cent. interest if called upon to
do so. This year, at the time of
sale, the taxes due, with accrued
cost, amounted to S264I.65. The
Treasurer sold of this amount,
SI726.33, and S9I5. 50 were held by
the county, The sale has proven
to have moi complied with the law.
No man who had the title to the
lands sold need have further con-
Germ, because if he goes to the rec
ord he will find his taxes are paid.
The man who paid them is content
because he knows the county is
bound to pay him 7 per cent. on
his money if the original owner
does not redeem. The county at
present has the money, but if the
other owner does not choose to re-
deem, it will have to pay 7 per cent.
on it when it may have no use for
the money. Redemptions have
been made to the amount of $780,
%, leaving Of the first sum named
$4,000. Sales since made amount
to S4I.2o. If the owners decline to
redeem this the county will have
to pay the interest on it and it will
have to do SO until the Board pass
es an order to refund. No county
officer has authority to refund with
out such an order There are also
in the hands of the county SS75.o3
worth of its own purchases, on
which 1t can never get deed unless
the remedy suggested by Col. Clark
IS effected. The county is therefore
interested to the amount of So
28I.72. The lands it has not sold
are not now likely to find purchas-
ers. The certificates it has sold are
liable to come back on it at any
time, in one, two, three, or more
years hence, at 7 per cent
interest. In the suit cited in Col.
Clark's report the certificate had
been running and the land decided
nearly twenty one years. Is
there not enough said to show that
the interests Of the county called
for wiser action by the board? If
not, then the county should cease
advertising altogether and save to
the people the $40 to $500 per
year paid out for that purpose.
The Board did not do in this case
what business man would require
his servant 70 do if entrusted with
his business. w. B. Clark knows
it did not. There is not a lawyer
in the State who knows law from
a prayer, that would not, after in
vestigating the subject, be ashamed
OF the report to which his name is
appended. The neglect of the
Board to get out of the difficulty
can end only in loss and annoyan-
ces TO the county, litigation for its
citizens and business for the law

"Ir is curious fact" says an
exchange, that although the old
guard (meaning the old Grant of
fee holders) boasts of being the
soul Of the Republican party-the
only section Of it that is always for
the party and always for its nomi-
nee, whoever he may bet is diff
cult to make people believe that the
old guard did anything in the late
campaign for which personal COM
pensation was not guaranteed.
There seems to be a widespread
feeling that the old guard is even
less loyal to the party than the
'scratchers and boilers and Jay
hawkers, as Mr.. Storrs calls all
Republicans who are not for Grant
and are more Interested in New
York collectorships and the capture
of appointments than in the success
of the Republican party" When
Conkling thought he had it in his
power to nominate Grant at Chi
cage he undertook to expel three
talented soldier West Virginia Re
publicans from the Convention.
The nomination having fallen upon
another man Conkling was not
known in the campaign as sup
porter of Garfield until it was gen
orally believed he was promised
the privilege of the distribution Of
the spoils Of the east. His sort of
bossing ran the Republican almost
down to zero. Hayes practiced
different methods and the party
grew again, or it could not have
elected Garfield. Renew the old
methods; let the pap-suckers rule
and prescribe and Danish the
workers for principle and the party
will weaken as before. The major
ity Of the people Of this country are
in favor of men of principle, not
men Of spoils.
