The Richmond and Danville Railroad
Company has purchased controlling
interest in the Northeastern Railroad Of
Georgia, which has been projected from
Athens to the West through the Rabun
Gap line, on the condition that the Road
is to be completed to the North Carolina
line within five years. The City Council
has concluded the terms for the transfer
of its stock to this Company, but will
submit the question of its ratification to
the people of Athens. The question will
be voted upon the last of this month,
and there ia very little doubt of the rati-
fication of the Councils contract. THIS
looks badly for the Blue Ridge Railroad,
though we hope some event may yet
transpire to induce its development.

A QUEER MEEr1NG.-Ex- Lieutenant
Governor and ex-member of Congress
Ransier is not afraid of hard work, even
if he has seen better days, and is now
working as a common laborer in con-
structing the extension of Bay street. A
singular coincidence occurred yesterday,
which must have brought vividly to the
mind of the ex.statesman the truth of the
saying, that times change and men
change with them. A cart load of gar
bage to be thrown on the street came up
and was dumped not far from where
Ransier stood. In distributing the rub.
bish pamphlet was picked up, and
proved to be portion of the Congress
ivnal Record containing speech made
by Ransier on the Civil Rights BILL
Ne,Cs and Courier.

met Chamberlain at Edgeield and began
the aggressive warfare with all the vim
and dauntless courage which character
lied his life. This meeting was the key
to the success which followed in Novem-
Der. Gen. Gary was County Chairman
and candidate for the State Senate, and
carried Edgefeld County, which had
been a Republican stronghold, by $500
majority, thereby securing the redemp-
tion of the State and the election Of Gov
ernor Hampton, whom he had been the
first to nominate as the party candidate
for the campaign. In the Senate Gen.
Gary was an important factor. He ad-
vocated the usury law, opposed the South
Carolina University, favored the investi-
CATION of the State debt, supported the
efforts to revive the Blue Ridge Railroad
and the Columbia Canal, and was fore
most in his zeal for every measure that
promised the advancement Of the people
of South Carolina.
In 1878 he became opposed to Gov.
Hampton's policy, and committed what
appeared to us the greatest error of his
life, in allowing those differences to be-
come personal. The people of the State
owed Gen. Gary great deal for his
brilliant and patriotic course, both in
war and in peace, and would certainly
have paid larger portion of that debt
had it not been for this unfortunate posi-.
tion, which held his claims in abeyance
for a time. 1t was, however, but for
time, and the near future undoubtedly
had high honors in store for him had his
life been spared and his tastes led him
to pursue them.
His death is loss to his country, to
his State aud to his political party. He
was true patriot and a noble man, for
above his own ambition he held the
unity of his party and the welfare Of his
State. General Gary was never married.
He was gentleman of thorough refine
ment, of elegant taste and general cul.
ture. A kind, generous and devoted
friend, he could always be relied on by
those with whom he was associated. He
was ardently and tenderly attached to
his aged mother and fond of his brothers
and sisters. In him true man has
fallen, and even those who did not agree
with him when alive will not fail to join
in that sincere regret for his death which
is genuine tribute to the worth of the
life which has ended in the prime of its
manhood, and which gave promise of SC
much of future usefulness and honor.

NUTRITIvE VALUE OF APPLES.

NUTRITIvE VALUE OF APPLES.
Although the apple is q prime
favorite among our native fruits, it
is generally regarded as table lux
ury rather than asan important ar
ticle Of food In many parts of Eu-
rope, especially IN Brittany, Ger
many, and in Cornwall, England, it
forms, with bread, the chief diet of
the agricultural classes. Besides
furnishing absolute nutriment to
the system, its mineral salts and
acids exercise refrigerant and ton
ic effects, and it is an invaluable
laxative. In addition to these ex-
cellent qualities, it is our cheapest
and most abundant fruit, and no
where does it grow in such profu-
sion as in the middle and Eastern
States, and over the Canadian Dor
der.

RELATIVE CosT OF BUTTER AND
BEEF.-It takes more feed to make
a pound of beef than pound of but
ter. A good COW in milk, well cared
for, will make 200 lbs. of butter in a
season, worth from $50 to $40; but a
dry COW, with the same feed, will
not gain as much in weight in the
same time, nor will she be worth as
much as the butter from the dairy
COW, and the mich COW is left. An
acquaintance of mine fattening an
OK, in 60 days had fed him 900 lbs.
of meal, at a cost of SIS, with only
100 lbs. gain in weight.

BARK L1cE.-A correspondent
81 have a young orchard, and the
trees have got covered with lice.
Would you give me some informa-
ton through your columns what
would be best to destroy them"
Reply.-In the middle or latter
part of May, the young bark lice
hatch out, and are then tender and
easily destroyed. At all other per.
iods Of the year the scale covering
them is sufficient to protect them
against everything except coal oil
and this is injurious to the trees.
At the time in May when the young
lice are on the move, they may be
destroyed by Swinging or scrubbing
the trees with solution of white
oil soap.-Canada Globe

To keep vermin off of hogs, give
them a good greasing with kerosene
oil, then apply equal parts of tar
and grease, and reapply occasion
ally. The latter will give them an
appetite, and prevent their having
mango. Mr.. Holman of Va, in
his letter to the Commissioner of
Agriculture states curious fact
about mango: that it not only at
tackled mostly white hogs, but he
had found in one or more cases that
it attacked only the white spots on
the hog.

WETzEL COUNTY DoGs.-So long
as our people love dogs rather than
sheep, so long may we expect but
little prosperity. A sheep that can't
run like a deer and jump down a
precipice thousand feet high, has
but little business in Wetzel. Take
adj the focks in Brooke county and
put them down here and they
would vanish in a month. One
third of the population would be
engaged in digging the wool out of
their dogs teeth every Sunday
morning Who would have a sheep
that couldn't run a pack of hounds
a whole week? And such dogs as
we do have! The meanest, sneak
inest, guiltiest, shabbiest, mangi-
est looking dogs on earth-not a
whit above the famous scavenger
dogs of Constantinople.-

WooL.-The wool business during
the season just closing has not been
of the most encouraging nature to
farmers and dealers. There is moth
ing, therefore, in the outlook to
give much encouragement to any
thought Of good prices and ready
market for the coming crop, but, on
the contrary, there is every reason
to believe that the new clip will
move slowly and at lower figures
than prevail at present for the old
clip. Prices now are not quite as
low as they were two years ago, but
they are much lower than they were
one year ago.-Eaqujrer, 23d.

HINTS For THE MoNTH.-This
will be a busy month for the farmer.
His broad and long fields are to be
plowed for corn, and much of it must
be planted-all, indeed, if the
weather is dry enough. Early
planting is important, to get it out
of the reach of birds before they
hatch their young and make dep
relations on it for their food, and
in order, also, that it may ripen be-
fore the early frosts in the fall. In
the garden, Lima and other pole
beans, cucumber, and melon seeds
should be planted, and seeds for
late cabbage, beets, carrots, and
parsnips may be sown, and sweet
corn, for succession, planted,
