The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1880-03-06
THE TRUE OBJECTS OF THE
4 80 GRANGE = .- !. -.

I. The promotion of spirit of brother
hood among agriculturists. I'd. - II. =.
?. The elevation of agriculture by the
mental, moral and social improvement of
its members, which is to be effected by
frequent meetings, free discussion, a cult
walton of the taste for the beautiful, the
refining influence of the presence of wo-
man, and the reading of such books,
periodicals and newspapers as tend to
promote these objects.
3. The adoption of more rational sys-
tenn of tillage-one that will require the
exercise of more brain and secure for the
farmer larger return for his labors-a
return commensurate with the capital,
brain and muscle employed in its produc-
ton.
4 Higher prices to the farmer for all he
produces, and cheaper prices for all he
consumes by adopting the cheapest out
lets to the markets of the world, direct
trade between those who are mutual con-
sumers Of each others products, and the
cash system-thus dispensing with the
services of an army of mddlemen that
now subsists on the fruits of productive
industry.
5. Economy in expenses-particularly
the purchase Of nothing that can be as
| cheaply produced at home.
g. Local manufacturing establishments
of all kinds-the encouragement of home
| labor in all branches of industry.
T. The making of home beautiful, and
farm life attractive.
s. Opposition to special and class legis-
lation in every form, and the curbing of
the power Of monopolies, gained by mis-
guided legislation in the past.
9. Pure men for office who will not
prove self-seekers nor the tools of the mo-
nopolies, corporations and corrupt rings.

The Superintendent of Public Educa-
ton in this State, Gen. Smith, is making
an efficient officer, and evidently has
no fear of the politicians His re-nom-
nation of the Superintendent in this
county, gentleman peculiarly fitted for
the position, in the face of considerable
opposition from politicians, is deserving
of special mention and appreciation The
office of Superintendent of the school
system of State is one of great impor7
tance, and the people should always sus-
tain the incumbent when he displays high
capacity and integrity.

extreme juvenility Of the beaux and bellies
who congregate there. Every German that
is danced. every driving or riding party that
goes forth to explore the beauties of the sur
rounding country, presents a bouquet of the
faireSt and freshest rose buds. not. however,

library at about seven O'Clock and sat at his
desk writing. Shortly after, Mrs. Brown en-
tered the library aud spoke 10 the doctor who
was then sitting in chair with y book at his
feet, as if he had droppedit there. As he did
not reply, Mrs Brown approached and found
that he was apparently dead, DIR. Seth h.

WASHINGTON.


! WASHINGTON, August u. General Walker.
| Superintendent OF Census, does not share in
any degree the apprehensions which are now
being expressed that the census in the
Southern States will prove TO have been
fraudulent. He does not place any conf
dence in the accuracy of the estimates which
are now being published of the population of
the several States. He SAYS that a surprising
small proportion even of highly educated
people know practically how TO work ont cor
rect results in percentage. There is natu-
raj disposition on all hands TO exaggersie in
matters of this kind. 4 few districts in Il
State are heard from and some Jealous editor
computes the increase of the whole State
from the showing they make. The census
office does not accept for moment the count
of the supervisors. There are made in the
census office no less than fourteen different
revisions of the work of the enumerators
and supervisors. This may be illustrated by |
supposing that page OF the enumerator's |
book contains fifty lines, upon which is writ |
ten the name, color. sex, nationality, etc, of
one person. In the revision the number of |
males is first counted and then the number 4
of females. II the sum Of the two equals !
the number Of lines the two are held tn be /
correct; otherwise ia, page is further exam |
ined, and if any of the lines are found blank /
they are noted 10 account for any d, iieiency.
The same process is pursued in relation To
color, nationality, etc. The revising clerks
are in no case permitted 70 count the number
of males, and infer that there are females
sufficient To make up the total, hut the entire
table must be examined in each case General
Walker explained this process To illustrate
how small was the dependence which il was
found BY experience could hc placed in the
work of unskiiled people in ;his matter OF
General Walker expresses no
opinion with regard To tn probable proper
tionate increase of the two sections. Ii,
when the work of the census is finished, there
proves to be good ground for suspicion. it
will be easy 10 test the matter by sending the
lists of names for suspected localities Ia
uStworthy persons for verifcatiou.

The Atlantic City Collision.

PHILADELrHIA, August II. The news of
the accident caused intense excitement at
Atlantic City, and when the delayed express
arrived about midnight a large crowd
assembled at the depot. When the train ar
rived there were calls for the excursion train
hands, but it was reported that they had pru-
IDENTIFY changed their uniforms. Owing to
the excitement prevailing, but few names OF
victims could be obtained.
At As this morning the ambulances began
to arrive at the hospital here carrying the
wounded in the accident. All the sufferers
seemed to be either scalded or burned. Very
few were injured otherwise. Many passen-
gers jumped through the windows directly
into the river. 1t appears as though ! was
killed outright and fl injured. nearly all
living in the northwest part of Philadelphia
4 number of those supposed to be fatally
wounded were not brought to the city. James
Sweeney of Philadelphia, was killed.
1t is stated that so terrible was the force of
the collision that the engine plowed furrow
half way into the car. the root of the latter
being lifted over the smokestack of the loco
motive The shock broke one of the cylin-
ders of the engine, and the scading water
poured in upon the occupants Of the car. 1t
had been raining heavily, consequently all
the windows of the car were down, and the
steam filling IT instantly, added to the terrors
of the occasion by cOncealing everything be-
meath an impenetrable cloud. The scenes
that cnsued are described simply terrible.
From beneath the coEcealing vapor were
heard the piteous walls Of children and the
wells of suffering men. The panic stricken
thousands in the cars of the first train ran
pell nell from them OF jumped through the
windows and rushed, they knew not whether,
in their terrible fright 1t was some time be-
! fore reason prevailed and earnest efforts were
made to rescue the injured. At o'clock
this morning ten ambulances were full, and
as the number OF stretchers proved inadequate
several still remain in the cars.
| The conductor and engineer of the second
/ section of the excursion train have been ar
rested. charged with mansIaughter, and held
in 81 900. One more victim has died and
three more are not expected to recover.
There are IS of the injured at Pennsylvania
Hospital. Many are very badly scalded and
internally injured. There are Is others whe
were hurt but not badly enough to be taken
to the hospital, and three children are miss
ing.
