THURsDAY. MARCH 10. 1898.

1HE news that reaches the REGISTER from
some OF the interior counties Of the State in
regard to the scarcity Of feed is of an I'M
usual character. In jackson county, for
instance, according to the Herald, an organ
izaion has been formed, the purpose of
which is TO forcibly sack the grsuaries Of
their more fortunate ~neighbors, and make
an equal divide. This plan was pursued,
according b the ssme authority, at Staaz's
mills and the loot distributed among the
p'underers. 1t is hardly possible this con-
diUon OF things exists, and yet there is
~extrsneous evidence hat the farmers are
suffering greatly for want Of feed for their
stock. and perhaps are pinched in many
ways then selves. The belt Of counties be-
ginning With Jackson and including Roane,
Calhoun, Gilmer, Lewis, Upshur and Ran
6olph, are all suffering very seriously BE-
csuse of the length and rigor Of the winter.
Corn ard hay are being shipped into the
State from points west in great quantities,
an unbeard Of proceeding, showing that
feed is scarce everywhere, but not
10 the same degree as in the
counties named. In Lewis county the
ether day, the Judge of the Circuit Court
dismissed the Witnesses and jurors in order
bat they might provide for their families
and stock, so scarce was feed in many To-
~calilies in that county.
The outlook is really serious. Here it is
the 18th day Of March, and the weather is
Just as severe and wintry as at any time
during the winter. Unless bright, warm
days soon arrive, and the grass begins to
sprout, even those who have not vet suffered
materially, will feel the ordeal, while those
who are now completely exhausted must
have help in some way or other, even if it
be at the peril of the law.

O. n. Rie.ud,os IL Plbllhas Wtstly
But the public, / fear, Is more at fault
than the bookseller. 1t has its own duty
in the matter and should not neglect it.
Every man and woman OF intelligence
ought to be frequent visitor at the near
est bookstore. Heor she ought to keep
track Of the fresh arrivals Of books, and Of
the advertisements and reviews in the
newspapers and magazines. We buy food
and clothing when we must, webuy books
when we are tempted to do SO; and
we ought to put ourselves in the way
Of being tempted. The bookseller is
irving to sell wares which not all
want. II YOU feel that you belong TO the
more intellectual part Of the public, you
have duty to him, and should see to 1t
that his wares do not 60 unbought-or at
least unnoticed. A reader ought to buy
according TO his ability: booka week, or
month, or year, or once in ten years. Do
NOT wait for the subscription agent to
come along with his tlaring monstrosity
at double price; 60 to the headquarters
and do your own selecting, II you know
enough to do so, or think you do. Encour-
age the good and discourage the bad there
are plenty, perhaps, to buy the cheap
or or mean pamphlet, but you are the one
who ought to buy the standard book.
Talk about the new books you see. Fam
iIiarize yourself with the books you don't
buy; the bookseller wants you 10 know
what he has. BY 80 doing you buy the
gist OF a dozen books at the price of one,
and thus keep up with the times at small
cost. II you buy something, the seller is
glad to have you examine many things;
and the Ultimate advantage is mutual.
He wants 10 know what you think OF his
stock. and he is entitled, Us foiiow-worker
in good cause, to the benefit OF your
friendly help. And conversation with
others. on the subject OF new books, Is al
ways profitable "all round" !
Then, again, whatever may be tho truth
OF the idea OF "protection to home indus
tries" thelo book store certainly ought
to receive certain amount OF voluntary
protection at your hands. II your town
has no book store, by all means buy where

lin a country town with fair book
store,,<don't save all your money to
spend in Springfield or Providence,
or Albany or Cleveland. II you
live in a tolerably large city, don't
think you must wait 10 do all your book
buying until you 60 to New York or Chi
cago. No kind OF store will sooner die
without deliberate cultivation than q
book store, and it b worth protecting,
even at The cost OF little Inconvenience,
for the sake Of the good it will DO to you
and others. 1t is, in fact, local Their
mometer, which tells whether the intel
llectual soil and temperature are warm
and fertile, or cold and non-prodnctiye.
Are you proud OF your local bookstore,
or ashamed OF it? II the former, you de-

work, il you have done your duty. Hyou
