4 Few Words with Those who Want
to Increase Their Trade.

The popularity of the SUNDAY MORN
ING NEWS and It's great circulation
among the intelligent and prosperous
people of a populous city and a
large portion OF Georgia and Florida, not
reached by any other paper on Sunday,
gives 1t a value to advertisers not pos
sessed by any other paper in
the Southeast. No matter what their
goods, wares or wants are, advertisers
will find the SUNDAY NEWS unequaled
as a medium through which to address
thousands of people who have many
wants and the money with which to sup
ply them.
Advertisements inserted for Is cents
and upwards. A small advertisement re-
ceives as much care and attention as a
large one. Advertisements can be sent in
any day in the week for insertion in the
SUNDAY NEWS. Special contracts made
for large advertisements inserted more
than once. ~

A Musical Monkey.
From the Pan Mall Gozetts.

from me fdCC NUCk CdsStt6.
There was great fuss few months back
about Sir John Lubboek's wonderful dog,
which It's master had almost taught to sueak
A monkey has compile ely ecltpsed the quad
ruped. well-known American savant has
educated favOrite monkey to become a good
pianist; all monkeys, this gentleman main
tains, have more or less musical faculty. If
men had not invented the piano, the learned
American seriously maintains, monkeys would
infallibly have done so. After only forty -elght
lessons the monkey Tabitha, who is a real or
namcnt to her sex, could play scales with sur
prising dexterity. The suppleness of their
fingers, their agility, their strength. all tend
to show. at least according to Tabitha's mas
ter, that most monkeys are born pianists Pa
tience is the only thing required to bring out
this hidden faculty. There is another fact
which strikes one. Monkeys have this great
advantage over human panlsts: they have
four hands, while men are unfortunately not
endowed with more than two. a monkey
among other advantages, can thus, it will
readily be observed, play a duet without the
assistance OF q companion.

A Word About Our shade Trees.

There is a very strong public senti-
ment growing up in this city
in favor of giving better pro-
lection to the shade trees, and of
adopting some clearly defined plan of
planting trees. In a communication pub
lished in the MORNING NEWS yesterday
it was pointed out that many of the finest
trees of the city have died for the want of
intelligent and prompt care. Limbs were
cut from them, and the wounds thus made
were left exposed to the weather. The
result was, of course, decay, which soon
reached the hearts of the trees and de-
stroyed them. These mistakes are likely
to be made again il means are not taken
to prevent them.
At present there seems to be no we'll de-
fined plan followed in planting or remov-
ing trees. A man gets permission with
out much trouble to have a tree in the
vicinity of his residence removed or to
plant a tree of certain kind. His judg-
ment respecting the removal or planting
of trees may not be good. The suggestion
that commission, composed of two or
three COuncilmen and as many
private citizens who take an in
terest in the city's shade trees, appears
to be a good one. Means ought to be
taken to point out the trees and shrubbery
most suitable to our soil and climate and
The most desirable from every
point Of view. We can have
city of shade, shrubbery
and flowers such as wi II please those who
appreciate such things and will educate
those to appreciate tn EN- who do not now
do so. Why not make a start in this mat
ter at oncel The Council surely can have
no objection to encouraging a movement
which has for its object the good of the
city and of every citizen.

A Hymn of Summer.

Beyond the chestnuts on the lawn,
Two happy girls have made a swing,
Half hid in shadows of the dawn
FAIR types of Summer and of Spring.
o Spring. Spring, Spring, how fair art thou
An April time Of smiles and tears
Till Summer with the sunny brow.
Thrice welcome guests, at length appears.
When wood and field are crowned by June,
Rich garlanded with leaf and flower,
Then hearts of men are all in tune
With Summers penitude OF power.
The fairest scenes crowd into view
The deep-blue sky, the purple hills,
The meadow flowers of varied hue,
The placid lakes, the sunlit rills.
Then joyfully, in grateful mood,
Our hearts and voices join to praise
The great Creator of all good,
The Giver of glad Summer days.

The South Carolina Farmers.

The farmers movement in South Caro-
lima is attracting considerable attention
in that State. The politicians are afraid
that it Will greatly interfere with, if not
defeat, their plans. 1t is said that there
have been consultations lately among
party leaders for the purpose of discover
ing some way to arrest its progress.
The farmers held a convention at Co
lumbia several weeks ago in which they
made it pretty plain what their griev-
ances are. They say that they are yearly
getting poorer and that the outlook for the
future for them is far from encouraging.
They think that their material condition
could be greatly improved by legislation
that would tend to promote agricultural
interests of the State and reduce the ex-
penses of administering the State govern
ment. AT their convention there were
some speeches which were not very COM
pllmentary to the professional politicians.
1t may be that the South Carolina farm
ers have reasons for complaining of dis
ordinations against them by those who
make and administer the laws, but what
class of people is there who haven't
grounds for complaintH
1t is almost, if not wholly, impossible
to so frame the laws that some Of them
will not bear harder upon one interest
than another. The wisest Of Legislators
are unable to so frame the laws for rails
ing and expending the revenue that no.
body will have occasion to complain.
The farmers of South Carolina aud of
all the other States have a very great
power at the ballot box. BY using this
power wisely they can put able and hon
est men into Office. They stand a much
better chance Of getting such Legislation
as their interests demand by trusting the
Democratic party than they do by going
outside of that party.

FISH TRAPS.
A Congressman Objects to Having
His Speeches Caught in Them.

A Congressman Objects to Having
His Speeches Caught in Them.
When Mr.. Cox. OF North Carolina, introduced
a proposition in the Committee on Rivers
and Harbers to abolish fish traps in the Tad
KIN river, 1t caused some speculation. No one
could imagine what was the reason for the
proposition. and the mystery was deepened
by the fact that Mr.. Cox appeared TO make 1t
a personal matter between himself and the
FISH traps. Again, nobody could see what
business he had with the fish traps in the Y adj
kin river, anyway, as tn at stream is not IN his
district, but in that of his colleague, Mr..
Cowles. with whom he seemed to be on the
most friendly terms.
The matter has finally been explained, says
a correspondent Of the Cincinnati CONNER
cial- Gazette, and it is shown that Mr.. Cox
was really acting in the interest of his COL
league. and endeavoring to aid in his re-
election.
1t appears that at the time of recent
"fresh" in the Yadkn, a United States letter
carrier was trying to ford the stream with the
mail. His horse was in danger OF being
swept away, and he was borne down by
huge bag containing the speeches OF Mr.
Cowles which that gentleman was sending
out to his tar heel constituents. Tosave him.
self he cut open the bag and dumped out the
larger part OF its contents. The carrier, as
soon as the act was known, was arrested and
put in jail. and the case reported to the gov
crnment authorities. Mr.. Cox, when the
matter was canvassed, reported that when
the people living along down the river below
the ford where the carrier crossed went the
next day to examine their fish trans, they
found them full Of Mr.. Cowles' speeches and
other Congressional eloquence, statistics,
seeds, ETC., and we're greatly surprised and
not thoroughly pleased at the nature of their
catch. Mr.. Cox then proposed to abolish these
fish traps on the ground that they interfered
with the free circulation of current literature
and Congressional elOqueuee. He thought the
man who threw the matter into the river was
doing only his duty, and that tine fish traps
but finally had to compromise on the release
of the mail carrier. AS lOUg as the fish traps
remain Mr.. Cowes will continue to circulate
his speeches by muleback and blackboard as
heretofore.

seeking for the Genesta's Opponent.
The race on Tuesday off Sandy Hook
between the three big sloops, the Puritan.
Priscilla and Atlantic, resulted unexpect-
edly in a victory for the Priscilla. One of
these three vessels is to contest for the
Queens cup with the English racer &C.
nesta. The Puritan was successful last
year in race with that vessel. Since
that time the Genesta has been remOd-
eled TO some extent, and is now, it is
claimed, faster than she was last year.
The Puritan has also undergone some
changes, but whether they will improve
her speed or not has not yet been salts
iactOrily determined. The Priscilla was,
in the opinion Of few, a better boat than
the Puritan when the choice was made
last year OF the latter to enter the con-
test with the Genesta. The Atlantic is an
entirely new boat, and was built for speed,
and almost solely for the purpose OF being
chosen to defend tue Queens cup in a con-
test with the Genesta.
The sailing lengths Of the sloops are as
follows: Priscilla, SO feet and 10 inches; !;
Atlantic SO feet and inches; Puritan, So
feet and 8 inches. In Tuesdays contest
the wind was very unsatisfactory, and the
victory of the Priscilla may not be re-
gsrded as settling the question relative TO
which is the fastest sailer.

Everybody knows that thousands of Re-
publican voters were fairly forced into vOt-
Ing against their will for Mr.. Blaine by their
dlstruet of the democratic party. Thev hon
estY believed that the country would be I'M
perled by the election of Mr.. Cleveland. All

so much to stimulate Mugwumpism of all

Of nearly % per cent. over the first year.
