The Turnpike.

We are glad to be able to state that the
Rankin Turnpike is now in irst-clas, con.
dition, so that our friends in the Free State
can venture to Jackson without the fear of
breaking their necks or vehicles. The re-
pair of this Turnpike is one of the hobbie,
of Mayor McGill, and it is capital hobby
to ride. The community will applaud all
his diligence in that direction. He has
had the Jealous cooperation Of the commit.
tee appointed at The citizens meeting
Messrs. j. J. Green, Whit. Griffith, l.
Strauss, A. Virden, Jr., L. f. Chiles
Since the foregoing WAS put in type, we
have made az iRspeetion of the turnpike, in
company WI 'yor McGll and City Mar
shall Carraway. We had not been east Of
Pearl River bridge for several years, and
could only realize the hitherto wretched
condition of the turnpike by the heavy
work recently done upon it. About TWEEN.
ty-fve men and six carts have been en-
ployed for the past four weeks All the
holes have been filed up with logs and the
dirt packed thereon sufficiently deep to
make smooth, solid road. bed bitches
have been cut on the sides, and the small
growth cut away for some distance from
each side of the pike, 50 that the road-bed
has the benefit of the air and sun. The
turnpike extends three miles east of the
bridge An occasional working during the
winter will keep it in good order We meta
good many cotton and wood wagons and
other vehicles-the very best evidence that
the money expended in repairing the turn
pike was a sensible and timely investment.
OUR friends of The CLARION newspaper
have turned over new leaf and propose TO
70 employ ladies in type-setting, folding,
stitching, etc. The idea is a good one and
we trust they will adopt it, when they get
into their new building. The CLARION
office, now in process OF completion is by
the way, the ncatest and most imposing
building in Jackson.-Comet
We are glad that our neighbor approves
our new venture. We have had a good
many applications from young ladies
anxious to learn the art of type-setting, and
will give them an opportunity when we get
into our new quarters. We have employed
all that we want for the present.

DO THE STUDENTS WORK :

Complaint is made, General, that the
students do not work, all the labor being
performed, it is said, by hired men,"
This is mistake. The students by their
labor earn about half their board, some pay
it all. The cost of board for the last muath,
by the way, was 50 60, or 80 cents day,
10 cents a meal, and in quality was the
best attainable anywhere for that price.
The students. I am free to say, did not like
the work at 6r7t, but now they take as much
interest in it and engage in it with as much
zest as in any of their duties; this because
everything is done in the best possible
style, with the best possible and latest inn
r0vedimplementsand under the direction Of
the best educated agricuIturist in the South,
Prof F. A. Gulley-a man who possesses
the rare talent of having thorough knowl-
elge Of all the sciences which underlie agri-
culture, coupled with practical training as
an expert. The boys do all the labor on
the farm in all the different departments
except the driving of the teams Their
work is being paid for with the same partic-
ularity that they are marked for their reci-
tations in the sectionroom. tits hoped that as
this College graduates and sends out yearly
from 10 to 40 students thoroughly educated
in the agricultural sciences and having seen
the operations on the farm conducted under
such favorable auspices, that they will il
the course Of ten or twelve years elevate
the profession Of the farmer, cause higher
standard to be introduced in his work, and
that instead Of following in the old ruts
they will look up and introduce better and
more remnneratiye system for the cuItiva-
ton Of our soil. The quickest and best
way to enrich Mississippi is to elevate the
81 farmer, to dignity bis calling,
and make his returns more remunerative."

FERTILIZERS.

Is the fertilization of our lands receiv-
ing any attention."
"The cheap and practical fertilization OF
our worn lands by pea vines is being fol-
lowed on the College farm, instead of en-
gaging in the more expensive and often un-
satisfactory process of buying commercial
fertilizers-the object being to demonstrate
what every farmer in this State who has not
the capital to buy fertilizers, can do in i'm
proving his lands. Careful experiments are
being made, however, with all the fertilizers
on small scale with all the crops and vege-
tables grown in the State, and it is intended
to give the results to the public"

MAINE AND GEORGIA.

The following communication was sent
by a well.known Maine Republican, a
friend Of Mr.. Blaine, to a New York
journal:
"a few days ago at Alexandria, Ga, ]
met Gen. John B. Gordon Of Atlanta, and
was very much interested in his patriotic
reriarkS on the present condition Of the
country. Gen. Gordon has noble record
he is brave, talented, eloquent; and I
know from personal observation that he
possesses the confidence of the entire South.
81 am neither an oficeholder nor bus
mess politician: nevertheless, I cannot
help thinking what a wonderful ticket for
1884 Maine and Georgia could present to
the country if they had the sense Of oppor-
tunity-James G, Blaine and John B. Cor
don.
"All personal considerations aside, the
business interests OF the whole country
would rally to support a broad national
movement that would leave no political
North and no political South. "P."
1t does not seem to occur to those
friends OF Mr.. Blaine who want to go in
for a broad national movement, remarks
the Sun, that Connecticut and Texas, or
Vermont and Mississippi, or Ohio and
South Carolina, would answer the pur-
pose quite as we'll as Maine and Georgia.
Ohio and South Carolina, for example.
What a sentiment there would be in a
ticket containing the names of John
Sherman and Wade Hampton!

THE NATURALpzED CHINEE

The Universal brotherhood theory
is being advocated in the United States
Senate. The gentlemen from Massa-
chusetts want no obstacle put in the
way of making American citizens out of
the heather Chinee. This proposition
will come from the Senate Committee
as an amendment to the House bill.
When the bill has been thus emasculated
the Republicans will be able to pass it,
provided the Pacific Coast members Of
their party stand in with them. This
looks like q move to kill the bill and
make the Democrats responsible for its
failure to pass. If so the New England
Senators do not understand the game
that they would play and do not appre-
ciate the temper of the people
of the Pacific Coast. No bill that
does not make it impossible to
naturalize Cinnamon will be toll.
Grated in any community where Cinnamon
live and are known for what they actually
IRE. 1t would be more tolerable to see
the degraded Indian in possession of the
franchise. 1t is possible that the Repub-
lican Senators OF the committee will
propose the amendment in question out
of pure affection for the %coolie, and that
they do not contemplate a trick for
partisan effect, or for the procurement of
cheap servile labor. We shall see. Mean
while, the chances for the passage of an
anti Chinese bill are Simmer than ever
before. Should the proposed legislation
be loosed from its present ENHANCEMENT,
the President will be braced up for an
other veto, in case the bill passed should
not be worthless. The representatives
in San Francisco of Seligman & Co., and
of some other gold bags, have signed the
petition from New York against any such
restrictive legislation. 1t is persons Of
this ilk who dictated Mr.. Arthur's first
veto, and they will be at his elbow when
he is composing his second.

THE rRANKING PRIVILEGE.

The proposed bill to restore the frank
ing privilege to the members of Congress
commends itself to those who are not
penny wise and pound foolish. The pay
of our national lawmakers is not munif-
cent. The Government can better afford
to allow them free mailing facilities on
official business, than they can afford to
pay for the same out of a limited salary.
If we question the honor of the average
Congressman when Sl25 a year is in
question, we cannot trust him at all,
and the time has come for the American
people to emigrate to China and seek
naturalization there.
