A WISE MovE.-The farmers of Edgefctd

Association, the object of which is to extirpate
and stamp out the illegal and dishonest traffic
in seed cotton. An executive committee, con-
ssting of one member from each township, is
canvassing for members and will offer q reward
of one hundred dollars for proof to convict any
person or persons of violating the law regulating
the sale of seed cotton. This is wise move on
the part of the Edgefeld farmers, and we would

not embrace the finer quality Of sowed work

Plainly, the Latin identifies the honest

the close relationship between the two words
should be remembered and maintained.
The conclusion reached thus far would

An Episode of Hayes New Year.

One of the worst cases of injustice under
the present administration is that of Col.
Henry c. De Alma, state collector of Gus.
toms at Sitka, Alaska. Mr.. De Ahna after
being appointed collector at Sitka, was re-
jected by the senate, without good cause, and
simply on account .of the negligence with
which John Sherman treated his case. He
was impoverished by the expenses of his
journey to Alaska and return, and the ad-
ministration has steadily refused to do any
thing for him. The finance committee of the
senate, the other day, wrote Sherman that
it had knowledge of the circumstances under
which De Alma lost his place; that it was
a misapprehension that he was faithful,
meritorious officer, and recommend him
for position in the treasury department.
This letter was received with sneers by Sher-
man and lHawley. Wednesday De Alma
went to Sherman's Office anI excitedy re-
peated the story of his wrongs, and swore
that justice should be done him. Sherman
called for the messengers to put him out, but
De Alma told them to stand off, hurled more
invectives at Sherman and departed.
New Years day, at the citizens reception
at the white house, in the presence of hun
dreds of visitors, De Alma stood up and told
Mr.. Hayes that he had been seeking justice
here for the past eighteen months, and now
had come to tell him that if Divine Provi-
dence would intlct upon him the one-hun-
dredth part of the disgrace, poverty and suf-
fering that had been inflicted upon his (De
Ahna's) family for the past two years, Hayes
would not have happy moment of his life ;
and, he continued, "neither do you deserve
| it,"
Here the police rushed in and took hold
of De Alma, but he found time to shout,
"Here we have very small would-be des-
pot, who does not know how"
The incident created great deal of ex'
citement among the crowd, which had to bt
parted all through the house and at the msir
entrance, to let De Alma pass out. Hayes
during De Ahna's shouting, kept ducking hi
head and attempting to greet the other visi
tors, who still then seemed anxious to hea
De Alma through.
