THE PEOPLE MOVING.
Meeting and Action of the Mont
gOmery County Democracy.

A large and enthusiastic meeting of
the citizens of Districts Four, Eight
and Nine, Of Montgomery county, was
held at Jordan's Springs last Satur-
day. and the following was pnani-
mously adopted:
Whereas, The Supreme Court hav-
ing set aside the 100 3 settlement of
the State debt, upon the grounds of
its unconstitutiohality, it behooves the
people to give in mass meeting, or
otherwise, full expression to their
views on this important question as a
matter of instruction to our present
Legislature. should it be convened in
extraordinary session to make another
settlement, and as a just, constitu-
tional and satisfactory adjustment
should be TIE primary aim of every
good citizen; therefore,
Resolved, That we, the Democrats
of said districts, in mass meeting as
sembled, without regard to past differ
ences, believe that the time has come
for the Democrats of the State to speak
cut on the State debt question and let
the world know precisely where we
stand.
2. Resolved, That, as heretofore, We
are in favor of a settlement Of the
State debt at fifty cents on the dollar,
with four per cent interest, when
made within the limits of the constitu-
ton and ordered by the will of the
people as expressed through their rep
resentatives.
3. That we tender the members Of
the Supreme Court for their wise con-
stitutional and patriotic decision, our
heartfelt thanks, and for the attorneys
who ably defended the constitutional
rights of the people before the court,
we will ever cherish the warmest graf
itude.
4. That in the election of our Rep
resentatives, we will give our support
to no man who is not definite in his
position on the settlement of the debt,
nor any one who proposes to settle by
reputation or transeending the limits
OF 50.4.
5. That we recognize in Hon. VIM.
NJ. Daniel, our Senator, all the neces
sary requisites admirably be6tting him
for the Gubernatorial chair. Able,
sagacious and polemic in mind, inflex-
ible in integrity, moderate and conser-
vative in all his views, intimately ac
quainted with the condition, necessi-
ties and temper of the people, enjoying
the full confidence of men of all
shades of opinion, a character unfair
nished by political sin, no man is more
emiueutly qualified for a great leader
capable of uniting all the Democratic
factions of the State. We therefore
most earnestly solicit him to become
candidate.

The COnvenIiOn-HOuk Snubbed
County Ticket Nominated.

Special to the Americana
KNOXVILLE, February N.-The
Republican convention Of Knox
county met to-day to nominate officers.
Hon. j. M. Thornton, president. The
negroes controlled the convention.
A resolution offered, indorsing Con-
gresham Houk, was opposed by the
anti Houk faction and tabled. This
is regarded as a decided snub for
Houk and is greatly rejoiced over by
the Republicans who supported Rule,
two years ago. 1t is understood, to-
day, that the ex-Congressman will be
Houk's opponent next fall. The con-
vention nominated G. B. Gossett for
Sheriff, w. A. GaIbraith for County
Court Clerk, w. B, Ford for Circuit
Court Clerk. Frank Cribs for Grim
inal Court Clerk. Hon. Alex. Reeder
for Trustee. and W. R. Carter for
Register. The convention adopted an
ultra high tax platform.

insured at Boston, but had no passen-

The probable loss Of this vessel, as

because the movement to destroy the

The Garbage Ordinance.

The full text of the Garbage Ordi-
nance unanimously passed by the
Legislative Council yesterday after
noon, appears in the morning papers.
1t requires substantially Q) that all
citizens living within the severed por-
tiOns Of the city shall keep their
premises in good sanitary condition,
aud (2) shall be required at least once
a week, or oftener, if required by the
Board of Health or the police, to carry
off at their own expense and dump
into the river at the District dump, or
to some place not less than a mile
outside the District, all dirt, filth and
dry garbage Of every and all descrip.
tions, especially all ashes, horse
and COW and all other animal
excrets, and all solid kitchen garbage.
Additionalpolicemen will beappointed
by the Police and Fire Commission
erS, and appropriately informed, whose
duty it shall be to see the ordinance
strictly enforced. To this end they will
have free ingress and egress to and
from all premises at all times, in day.
light, for the purpose of inspection.
1t is altogether a very searching ordi
nance, and as it is passed, Of course
the Commissioners 1nean busi-
ness, and should enforce it..
The LEDGER opposed its
passage, but now that it has become a
law, the opposition ceases and we ad-
wise all citizens, whether they like it
or not, to get their carts and ash carts
ready and fall into line. As General
Grant said once, though it was not
original with him, the best way to
bring about the repeal of a
bad law is to enforce it. Looking
at this from either side as a
good or as a bad law it should be
enforced and obeyed as long as it
stands. Our opinion of the system is
the same as before, but that is no
ground for throwing any obstruction
in the way Of those charged with the
duty of its enforcement. We do not
believe the system will work well,
but if it does it will be all right anC
the people will find out the
fact. One word now as to tht
inspectors, only men Of fine sense, ant
discretion should be appointed. Som,
that we have had make rather free ii
peoples backyards and put on styl

The people should afor,
them proper facilities fo
making necessary inspections, an,
when that duty is discharged tn
inspector should leave as promptly al
possible, without stopping to discus
the question, or make threats abou
having arrests made, or anything o
that sort The duty is not a very
pleasant one at best, but it can be per
formed without giving offense.

MoLEs AND WARTs.-We could
never quite understand why any
gentleman, and particularly any
lady, should consent to remain
conspicuous, by reason of an ugly
mole on the face, when the defect
may be easily and safely remedied.
We have extirpated q hat full'-'be
the same more or less'-and have
done our work so thoroughly that
there is not the ghost Of a chance
that single mole will return to
torment its former possessor. Our
plan is this: Where there is but
one mole, not too large, we simply
freeze it with a spray of ether, and
then make a curved incision in the
direction of the folds of the skin,
from a quarter to half an inch in
length, on each side of the mole and
close to it, so as to close it between
the carved incisions and then We
remove the mole with the small
portion of skin on either side of it.
We then sponge the wound until it
stops bleeding, and draw the edges
Of skin accurately together with
several very narrow strips Of court
plaster. In three or four days it
will heal; generally so that the
least scar or line can be sean. Il
there are two or more moles to be
taken out, or one large one, We take
our patient to a neighboring den
tist- who administers gas, and
while under it's influence We can
dispose of three or four moles, and
then apply the plaster afterwsrd.
Thus the whole operation is pain
less, and entirely safe.

THICK AND THIN SEEDING
OF WHEAT.

A generation or so ago, four
bushels, or 16 pecks of seed wheat,
we're considered moderate seed
ing for an acre of lano; now, not a
few are contending that one peck
will suffice. It is clear that either
the old-time farmer was singularly
wanting in obserVation,and reckless
II lavish of seed, or that the agrl'
culturistss ssofto-day is advocating q
penny wise and pound foolish
practice, not based on the facts OF
ordinary experience. Are we not
going too fast, Or were our forefs-
thers so hopelessly astray-ls there
no golden mean?
In the fall of 1879, II plats, of
lis acre each, were laid of IN
field of fair average fertility, which
had been in clover for the two
years preceding. The soil was a
good clay loan. The land was
thoroughly prepared, and the seed
drilled in without fertilizers OF any
kind, OF the 18th of October. One
plat was seeded with 8 pecks OF
sBoughton, a smooth, white, and
rather tender variety the next ad-
joining, with 3 pecks of champion
Amber a bearded red, and hardy
wheat; the next with 4 pecks Of
:Boughton, the next with 4 pecks
of Champion Amber and so on up
to S pecks Of each.
To sum up.-It appears that the
verdict OF the experiments Of this
year and the last, with these two
varieties, is in favor of moderately
thick seeding (6, Z, and s pecks
per acre), for average soils IN this
section Of country. The 3,peck
Champion Amber plat of 1881
shows, however, that on superior
soils these amounts can be safely
reduced. Why should 4 pecks give
in both varieties, the smallest re-
turns? Is it possible that, like the
Church of Laodicea, this amount Of
seed is neither one thing or the
other-not enough to secure the
advantages OF heavy seeding, and
too much to secure those Of light :?
Again, the lower ratios Of straw to
grain in the 8-peck plat of both
varieties, as compared with the g.
peck,shoW that the opinions Of those
who assert that heavy seeding will
increase the straw at the expense Of
the grain, are not we'll taken. AS to
varieties-in the 26 experiments OF
the TWO years, 25 are:in favor Of the
Champion Amber The 5peck
'Boughton' plat of 1881, gave a yield
Of grain exceeding that of the cor
responding Champion Amber one,
by only 2e-100 bushel. Finally,
these experiments confirm the oh,
servations of Stevens and others,
that heavy seeding tends to hasten
the maturing of the crop; the heavi.
ly seeded plats were cut two days
earlier than those that were thinly
seeded.-PRoF. J. NJ. MCBRIDE, in
