FARMERS.
Why Some Of Them Are. and Always Will
BE, Poor.

Why Some OF Them Are. and Always Will
lB~. Poor.
There are some farmers who are con-
stantly threatening to quit farming and
go into some more lucrative business.
If they would carry these threats into
execution (Which they seldom do,. ag-
riculturc would moi lose much and the
occupation in which they would engage
would not gain much. unless they very
materially changed their habits. How
ever. there must be some cause for
these people TO- being able 70 make
farming pay. Let us see where the
fault lies. whether with the people or
because of the poor advantages which
they possess.
Mr.. Jones is a neighbor of mine, is
one OF those that is continually prating
that nothing pays so poor rs farmin'.'
Some poet has sung There are no birds
in last years nes..' but 90 10 the farm
and Won will find the plow in last year
furrOw. Yes. there i: is. all rusty. and
there it will stay until spring. and then
it will have Il Re taken to town to be-
polished, and n days work lost i'm =
very busy season, and Jones will won-
der why he is behind with his work.
His ~seedler. harrow. harvester and other
machinery stand unhOused AMI unpro-
tccted alike from summer sun and win
ter snow. This machinery represents
hundreds Of dollars Of capital. and Will,
care would last twice as long rs il will
by being left unhOu>cd. Go to his stock
yards and Won vii! see q few hogs and
two or three cows standing huddlcd to-
gether in one corner of the yard. with
nothing to protect them from the
chilling blasts. And. vet he WON
ders why his stock does not get
fat. Ask him why he does not bu Id
sheds. and he will tell you he can not
pay the high price that is asked for
lumber. Yet he has burned enough
straw to make \ shed for herds of cat
tls and hogs. He does not subscribe
for any agricultural paper because he
thinks the money thus expended is of
no u.s.. although q short time since he
vas cheated u; Of eighty dollars by .
swindle which was fully shown uD in
the agricultural papers. To Jones. and
all that say the farm don't pay. I would
say il is because it don't owe you any
thing. Farming. when conducted right.
pays better for the amount of capital
invested than any other occupation.
The soil is very prompt in paying OF all
just obligations. and throwing in = good
sum for interest besides. But il is very

The handwriting of Secretary Man
ming goes = long way towards ~refuting
the theory that . mans occupation may
be determined by his chirography. Mr..
Manning's is neither the literary nor
the d~istinctively business hand. His
signature would not be taken by a
stranger to be the signature either of a
newspaper editor or q bank president.
1t cannot be denied. however, that it
seems to suit exactly the title OF
Secretary of the Treasury" 1t is
neat. dignified ard self-assertivc. and
looks like a signature which would
only be put where it was really needed.

The above specimen from the zen of
the Secretary Of the Interior suggests a
conspicuously deliberate method. The
careful punctuation Of each of the three
initial letters, and the uniformity Of
their shading, show a careful, painstak-
ing habit of writing. 1t is no: probable
that Secretary Lamar writes with any
thing like rapidity. proceeding rather
with caution, and being jealous Of any
thing like enforced alterations or inter
lincatons in his manuscripts. 1t is the
handwriting of = studious man. appar-
emily familiar with the trick of taking
copious marginal notes on the books he

The Secretary of State writes a pre-
cminently literary hand. 1t is to be in
ferred from the sentiment to which he
has appended his signature that he has
not a very high opinion of the beauty
of his own fist, and it will be generally
admitted that it is not overburdened
with legibility. If every man. woman
and child in the United States didn't
know better. the signature of the new
Secretary of State might be taken to be

All sorts Of tactics. both crooked
and straight, are rssorted to, AID which all
mel who have gone through the mill
look back upOu With disgust. Bat
sheE one is compelled to pursue these
self same tactics aud his competitor wins,
then comes the gail and wormwood. Some
times suppressed and hidden from the
public gaze, bot Otteuer fully exposed with
the outcry that he will wreak vengence
on the bette nor that has caused his defeat.
Even if one is successful in getting the
position he seeks, the duration Of occupa-
ton is short until another contest
must arise, thea the same racket
is again renewed aud very
likely defeat finishes the contest.
1t is rarely that real worth counts for mach
in politics. it is generally the fellow who has
the most friends and the greatest influence.
He usually gets there in spite Of all obsta-
clss, while the otter party can chew the
cud Of regret that he did no. stick to his
trade or business aud to day he might have
been al better oil.

A%PHILIPPI LETTER
To ne Editor Of ne Register.

PuILIPPI, BARBOUR County, W. Va.
March 2S.-The extension of the q. K G,
K Il. beyond its present terminus is doubt
'ul, unless another company takes hold OF
he enterprise. There has been two meet
iugs of the directors, one at Phil ppi and
one at Grafton, which, as far as we can
learn, accomplished nothing. Along the
propoped route from here is innumersble
wealth in timber and minerals, which can
be utilized only by the extension Of the
road. The minerals must lie dormant,
where they have slumbered for sges. The
forests must tower in the wind and blush at
the slothfulness of man, or be felled to the
ground and reduced TO ashes; or
the road must go on, develop itself
into use and profit to its owners and the
whole country. Ii will unveil the silent
treasures Of mother earth; slsy the giant
forest, and hasten them where they will be
converted into use and profit, and instead
return money with which their native soil
can be developed and made Of use. thus
making a self disappearing, happy and pros
porous people.
Democratic administration has u~usolici.
tously paid tribute to this county, by tender
ing one Of Its honored legal sons, a position
in Washington of $500 per annum. As
the office was declined we mention no
name. You struck the wrong chap Grover.
Hit again if sou dare, we have other worthy
men. The administration is viewed
with a critical, though pleasant eye. 1t is
moving of so cautiously and with so much
judgement and business skill that hone dare
find fault save P. NJ. applicants and sdhe-
rents, who doubtless think the roulette wheel
shoald soon revolve and to them give the
spOils Of this very remunerative office, espe-
eislly in such towns as Philippi. The ap.
ministration shows its respect for the pros
perity of the whole people BY making haste
slowly, thus insuring more lasting work
Nothing is more detrimental to our national
success than hasty and immature work, as
it almost invariably insures ruin in the end,
The administration thus far shows full grown
work, and with this as criterion. We predict
brilliant results which only the grand old
party principle when enforced will produce.

CLUE Houses is o term that is fact be-
coming synonymous with fast living, fast
life and a general go as you please sort Of a
way, that is very Obstructive to both morals
and domestic happiness. On Saturday
night no less a place than the Union League
Club House, presumed to be the resort Of
thorough gentlemen, was the scene Of a reg
ular assault and battery sort of time. 1t
appears several members who arrived early
were at the card tables enjoying a social
game Of whist, when suddenly a member
jumped from his seat and with the excla-
nation You scouudrelE" threw mis- cards
on the table.
whats the NATTER cried a half dozen
gentlemen rising hurriedly.
THAT man held cards that were never
dealt" replied the first gentleman.
You're a liar shouted his opponent
pale with rage, as he passed around the
table.
Before those present realized the situa'
lion the accused party struck the complain
ing gentleman a singing blow in the tace,
that caused him to stagger back among his
friends.
RumOr has it the accused party has sent
a challenge, which has been accepted and
pistols, a surgeon, and coffee for one, have
been ordered. There must have been money
in the game, and that means gambling.

Tbs Chesapeake and Ohio railroad has
had a hard year Of it as the annual report
below will show. All railroads have been
cutting down expenses for a year past on
sccount of receipts falling off, but many OF
them. the c. & 0. among the lot, have been
unable to make the reduction in expenses
keep pace with the falling of of receipts.
At the annual meeting of the stockhold
ers held in Richmond last week, President
c. p. Huntington submitted his annual re-
port. in which he says: The gross earnings
for 1884, instead OF showing, as we had
hoped. a handsome increase over that OF
1883. have fallen off about 10 per
cent. and the net earnings nearly 20
per cent. The precise figures are as
follows: Gross earnings, 1888, S3,9O6, T9l.-
20. 1884, s., SIS, SOS. 10; operating ex,
penses, including taxes for 1883, $685.
1913 a: for 1884, $2,562, 72O5l; earnings
over operating expenses for 1888, $685.
S58.S So, for 1884, 81, OS5,S846j. This
shrinkage is only to a slight extent due to
the loss Of business consequent upon the
stopping OF coal and ore mines, furnaces,
sawmills and scsnty crop exports, but to the
tact that rates have been so low as to leave
too small a margin over the cost Of con
Quoting the business"
There was no material charge in the old
