If the towns of Now England find it
profitable of industrial growth to ex-
empt from taxation, for limited period,
manufacturing enterprises, how much
more should we Of the South see it.
New England is the home of manufac-
lures. Their profit is seen of all men.
They are the wealth Of the State, while
with us they need encouragement. 1t is
true these exemptions are granted by
towns, but in the South, the country
with its timber and water-powers is
naturally the place to locate. The ex-
cmption law in this State, now repealed,
did much good and has added greatly to
our wealth. Its existence added not q
dollar to our taxes, while it added to
our taxes, while it added to our wealth,
now becoming and to become a source
of revenue to tho State. Instead Of ad-
ding to our taxes it reduced them by
stimulating other enterprises building
up towns about the factories and giving
employment and bread to many families.

Hog Meat.

Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken has written a
letter to the Abbeville Press and Ban.
mer concerning the frightful death Of a
negro. who was consumed by worms
consequent upon eating diseased pork.
Mr.. Aiken enters into discussion Of
the internal hog question, explains the
nature Of trichinosis, and then comes to
the nub Of the question thus
I dare say, that nine-tenths Of your
readers will before Saturday night break
tast or dine on northwestern bacon or
hams. Are they sure that there are no
trichinae in any Of this meat? Let them
beware, for there is scarcely week
that the papers do not announce the
death of one or more members of
family in our northwestern states from
eating this infected meat.
The moral would draw from this
would be, that our people should grow
their own hog meat, for beyond doubt
this infected meat showed itself in a
diseased live hog. A three months old
Essex pig can be grown with less labor,
care and expense than brood of chick
ems, and contains twice the amount of
wholesome, delicious food
The writer goes long bow shot be-
yond Mr.. Aiken, and advises the avoid
ance Of hog meat in all Of it's shapes
and forms. 1t is pernicious diet, wheth-
made a. home OF abroad Col. Tom
Howard says he never saw hog that
had healthy liver, and the Jews, the
true, practical hygienists Of all ages,
sensibly and savingly, avoid this dread
flesh. One years experience in this
matter has convinced US that total OBJ
stinencc from swine food is essential to
perfect or nearly perfect health, One
Of DR.. Milburn's receipts for the pres
ervation Of his phenomenal vigor Of
body and mind is to touch, taste and

Four Nuisances.

-Four Men Who Are Nuisances," WAS
the subject last evening of the Rev.
David Willis, Jr., Of the Spring Garden
Presbyterian Church. eve, as people
Of to-day" said Mr.. Willis, .'are suifrr-
ing because of Jonahs-nuisances. The
degradation Of the homes of the repub-
lie, the apparent depression OF the life of
society, the decay of our business life
are all traceable more or less to certain
nuisances. Casting our first lot. as in
the text the first nuisance we fall upon
is the idle man, and let me here say the
man who breaches on idleness has at
leas. one great consolation-he is preach
ing to very large audience. The burn
ing question Of the, day is not more
work, but more wages. Idleness is q
nuisance, inasmuch as it is an unjust
tax of honest industry. The second
nuisance, is the liar. He creates distrust
and distrust destroys affection and conf
dence between man and man.
The bird nuisance is the demagoguc.
In some miserable corner he breaches
his abominable doctrine Of theft. vio-
lence, dynamite and murder. The fourth
nuisance is the professional sport. He
is nuisance of the most pronounced
type. He lies abed all day to go forth
to gather in harvest at night. He sedu-
ces innocence, leads astray the unwary,
inyeigles the vnrdant conntryman, and
lays dissolate the home OF the widow
and orphan. i

conversation with prominent plan
ter of the Fourth District, we learn of a
new and novel way to kill crows. The
gentleman's plan is to catch one Of the
birds. tie it to your body and walk
through the field with your gun cooked
and finger on the trigger. The cries Of
the bird will cause others Of its tribe to
flock around you, and they can then be
easily shot. This method of extermina-
ting these pests is not patented, and
those who are so disposed are at liberty
to try it, Dauson (Ga.) Journal.
