Mr. Micawber is in town.
He is looking for something to turn

He believes he would like Post

There is no man in his community
more available for Collector.
In case he is not appointed Collector
he would make good Appraiser.

The thing he dotes on is Consulship.
In this connection it may be men
toned that his pronunciation of French

An Interesting Case.

Judge Mackey yesterday was en-
gagged in hearing the case of Henry
t. Coghlan against the South Carolina
Railroad Company.
Coghlan, the plaintiff, is the holder
of certain bonds of the South Carolina
Railroad of 1885 which he claims are
first lien on the road, and he filed
his bill to foreclosc the statunry mort
gage, making parties holder of bonds
of 1868 the trustees of the first and
second mortgages and the judgment
creditors. Mr.. John II. Fisher, ns
receiver, filed a petition for the remov.
al of the case to the United States
Court on the ground that the whole
litigation was between Coghan and
the South Carolina Railroad Company,
all the other defendants being merely
nominal parties. The receiver fled u
bond with ID. II. Corbin, Esq, as
surety. Mr.. Bacot representing the
plaintiff Coghlan and Maj. Fl. f.
Young representing holders of bonds
Of 1856 were heard in opposition 10
the motion to transfer the case to the
United States Court, and Mr.. II. 4.
NJ. Smith was heard in favor of it.
After hearing the argument Judge
Mackey held that the case could not
be removed OIL the petition and bond.
That Mr.. Corbin being q solicitor of
the court could not be surety for the
receiver. That the bond, furthermo. G,
was not in accordance with the Act of
1875, and that the surety had no xis-
ible property. The Judge held, also,
that the other parties were necessary
parties. and could not be disregarded
He therefore refused the motion to
transfer to the United States Court
and granted all order Of reference to
Master Clancy.
Mr.. Smith, representing the receiv-
er, thereupon fled new petition and
bond with Mr.. Andrew Simonds as
surety, and gave notice that he would
to-day ask for the removal of the case
to the United States Court upon the
new petition and bond.
The rest Of the day was consumed
in hearing several other causes.

One Honest Man.

The other day six men sat around q
stove in q Detroit tobacco store
There had been long period of ST.

There was slight stir around the
stove, and n second man put his hand
to his shoulder and observed:
"And shall not soon forget Bran

The interest was ROW considerably
increased, and the third man knocked
the ashes off his cigar and said:

the members of their churches. They
mSst turn their influence against the
use of ardent spirits by public men. 1t
is common for Medical Societies and
Literary Clubs to celebrate their anni-
versaries by suppers. The principal
attraction about these affairs consists
in the toasts and speeches. Church
members contribute money to help
buy up whiskey for these occasions.
Preachers attend them. If they don't
help drink the liquor themselves they
sit around and giggIssat the witicisms
of the speakers born of the liquor they
have guzzled down. If this is all true,
then Several Preachers" are not more
than half i'm earnest.
What do Several Preachers" ex-
pect to accomplish by this farce? They
can't do n thing. They have filled
most Of our offices with men who drink
liquor, from the United States Senate
down to our Coroners. Ninetenths of
our members of the Legislature drink
whiskey. and love it, and Several

norant if they suppose these Repre-
sentatives will cut off their own sup

WHIsKEY IN NORTH CARoLISA,-
During the last fiscal year 1895
gallons Of whiskey we're distilled from
grain in North Carolina, upon which
the revenue tax amounted to $685.
661 80. The value of the liquor above
the tax is estimated at sl77,182 80.
There are about 900 persons engaged
in the manufacture Of spirits, and
about 100000 invested in the distil-
leries, Of which there are 359. The
materials used for the production of
spirits during the same period are re-
ported in bushels as follows: Corn
156,s78 rye 33,8ls; malt 2I,92s
wheat ,237 mill feed 393 other
material 70! molssscs 20S gallons.

HOTTEST PLACE on EARTH.-The
hottest climate in the world probably y
occurs in the desert interior of Aus.
tralia. Captain Stuart hung a ther-
mometer on tree, sheltered both from
the sun and the wind. 1t was gradu-
ated to 1877 degrees Fahrenheit. yet so
great was the heat of the air that the
mercury rose till it burst the tube
and the temperature must :hus have
been at least 1913 degrees, apparently
the highest ever recorded in any part
of the world. Nevertheless, in the
Southern mountains and table lands
three feet Of snow sometimes fall in a
day.

Jake and Lum Harris, white, killed

escape, and expressed their willingness
to await the decision Of the law.

Narrowing Wheat in Spring.

The advantage of narrowing wheat
lands thoroughlyin the Spring, as soon
as the ground becomes dry enough to
prevent the horses sinking into it, is
known to many farmers who have
practiced it, but is unknown to the
majority. Wheat is usually sown in
September upon well prepared land
This land is left there subject to all
the storms of rain and snow, and the
dry weather in succeeding Spring
until the wheat is harvested. In con-
sequence the land becomes in May
and June, nearly as hard as medow.
At season of the year when the plants
are in the greatest vigor of growth,
the land is SO hard as not to give one
half the nourishment it would if kept
mellow by any process. Suppose, for
instance, corn should be planted in
the Fall under similar conditions with
wheat, and that the Winter did not
injure it, and that it were left without
cultivation of any sort until harvest
cd it is evident that the yield would
be diminished over one-half; in fact
the yield would probably be so light
and poor As to be almost worth
less.
Now, wheat, from many expert
ments in its cultivation by hand in
England, shows Us great sensitiveness
to cultivation as corn the yield by
careful hand cultivation being increas-
ed to sixty bushels, and in some in
stances, eighty bushels per acre
Now, thorough narrowing oc wheat
in Spring, in a very inexpensive man
ner, performs the cultivation nearly rs
well as when done by hand If the
J crust formed by the Winter SHOWS
and Spring rains is thoroughly broken
and the ground to the depth of two or
more inches well pulverized, the effect
upon the wheat is like magic. 1t
starts into the vigorous growth and in
a few weeks has nearly y or quite dou-
bled in size he wheat not narrowed,
in pieces of wheat not narrowed in
strips, that is--one strip not narrowed
at all, and other strips OIL each side
thoroughly narrowed, in the early
part Of June the narrowed wheat
stood fully one foot higher than the
unharrowcd ut each side, and every
way was strikinsly ranker and vigo-
rous. Mr.. Robert j. Swan, of Rose
Hill Farm, Geneva, y. Y, who has
heavy clay land, saws he has harrow
ed his wheat for four years with the
Thomas harrow, and finds to be in
crease fully ten bushels per acre
Byrum Moulton, of Alexander, Gene,
see county, y. u, harvested from fifty
acres 500 bushels wheat. His neigh.
bors only obtained about ten bushels
to the acre. The only difference in
our treatment was that Moulton'
wheat was thoroughly narrowed witt
this implement in the Spring, and hi
neighbors' was not.
The effect produced by narrowing
barley and oats, after they have oh
tained growth of four or five inche
is equally marked. | have observec
many instances where fully twent,
bushels per acre increase, in conse
quence Of thorough narrowing, wa
obtained.
These facts and many others of sim
liar character show clearly the grea
profit which farmers may derive froa
thorough cultivation, by harrowin,
of wheat, oats, barley and other sowl
crops, with the Thomas smoothing
