How Improved lmp!e-
ments PAY the Farmer.

If any proof were needed TO show
the value of intelligent labor in farm
work, the returns OF the last census
contain abundant and overwhelming
evidence upon this point. In South
Carolina the value Of agricultural
implements per farm hand in 1870
was sll and annual product per farm
hand SIP. The value ofagricultu-
raj implements per farm hand, with
a single exception of Alabama, was
less in South Carolina than in any
other Southern State, and the value
of the annual product in this State
less than in any other Southern
State, with the exception OF Florida
and Georgia. In all those States
where the farm hand employed the
largest per capita money value in
tools his annual product was pro-
portionately increased in value and
at a surprising rate. In Now Jer-
'sey, where the average value of i'm
plements per farm hand was $l77,
the average annual product was S5Ol,
and in California, where the average
value of implements per farm hand
was $l06, the average annual pro-
duct was $512. In all the States
the returns were the same in char.
acter. Where the investments in
improved labor saving implements
were greatest, the annual products
were the largest. No more forcible
illustration could be given of the
value of improved farming imple-
ments. Those farmers succeed best
who follow the best methods and
employ the best appliances. In this
State there has been a wonderful i'm
provement during the past two years
in the use of labor-saving machinery.
The large crops of 1882 showed the
practical wisdom Of our new depart
ure in husbandry.

Wine, Women and Cards

There is a very unusual and very
general uprising all over the coun-
try against those practices which fall
under the head of" social evils" The
temperance people are pushing their
work with yigor and surcess never
before equalled in the history of the
country. Prostitution is being pur-
sued by public opinion and the law,
and driven into the nearest possible
limits as a public profession. Gaming
is being made difficult and hazardous
to the personal liberty Of the gamb-
Ter. In Tennessee it has been made
felony; In Georgia, under rigid
administration of the law, it is Just
but less than one. And when Judge
Hammond, a few days ago announc-
ed his determination to make it par
take of all the seriousness its perni-
cious character demanded, the gam
blers knew what he meant and the
people felt secure during his admin
istration as judge in this circuit.
A few days ago in an Arkansas
town, a young man, once OF great
talents and promise, was ignomini-
ously choked to death upon apublic
rallows for the crime of murder. He
made a long speech to a crowd of
over two thousand people, " warning
the young men against whiskey,
gambling, bad men and bad women,
to which influences he traced his ru-
in" He had reached the last stage
of a journey with such associates.
His testimony could not be mistaken
and it sounds with awful warning
coming as from the dead.
Men of easy consciences and little
faith may laugh at these reform move
ments against swine, women and
cards" They may say that "you
cannot stop these things" That is an
old song, but 1t is lie. They can be
stopped to the same extent as the
law stops rape, and arson and muir
der, and by the same means. Desper-
ate men and women will transgress
the law, but like murdcrers are now,
they will be few and their perform
ances far between. Human society
can govern itself with no greater
perfection. Georgia Major.

Robbery by Law.

The following from the Texas Sift-
ings is alike applicable to Arkansas,
as our laws IN regard to the matter
are similar TO the Texas laws:
When, in Texas, anybody who
walks out in TIE highways aud by
ways, may occasionally observe stuck
on tree or on fence a piece pa
per. A closer investigation will de-
velop the fact that the piece of paper
is some legal notice, involving the
sale OF real estate, or the disposition
ofproperty in the probate court. As
a general thing, the notice contains
nothing but the printed form, as the
written portion of the document has
been obIitera,ed by rain. lfthe per-
son whose property is to be sold, OF
whose rights are thus disposed of,
were to see the notice, he could not
possibly obtain the slightest notinca-
tion Of what was being done. I'm
.mense quantities of land have been
gobbled up by Spectators, because
notice Of sale was stuck up on tree
Instead Of having been published il
a newspaper. If the notice is torn
down few days after it has beer
posted, Of course nobody is to blame
There are men who are nut bit toe
good to do tina. very thing, in order
not to be hampered by too much
competition at the sale. The law as
it stands now requires that such no.
tices shall be posted in three con.
spicuous places in the county, but
the places are not specified. The
law should specify what a conspicu,
Gus place is. Posting legal notices
of such sales on trees and fences is
simply stealing according to law.
