1t may be all very true that these

seen enough Of the blind ignorance
Of taxpayers to know that they
would rather pay five dollars indirect

mind that you will learn very little
from books during the nine months,
but you will be making character
that will outlast the books. Daily
attention to all school duties will
develop the habit Of study. That
habit continued will lead to your ed.
ucation one Of these days. A diplo.
ma is not character; q string of med.
ais has no power. The true cduca-
tion begins after you quit school.
Learning comes little by little, and
never without effort. 1t cannot be
bought with money. 1t is above the
price of rubics. 1t comes, if it comes
at all, by constant attention to little
things. Neglect to-day will grow
into indifference next week. You
cannot afford, in the evening Of this
wonderful century, with all your op.
portunities, to be an igorant, unthink-
ing woman, without force Of character
and without good influence. Nor
can you afford to be mere cipher in
your neighborhood, with none of the
elements Of leadership in you, and
altogether too weak to make good
follower. Ciphers have their places
in row Of figures, but remember
they never begin it. They generally
come in towards the last. In clos.
ing would like to whisper to every
school girl in our State: Don't be
cipher. BE somebody."--Carolino

An Eloquent SERMON.

Rev. Dr. Martin, Of the Alabama
Street Presbyterian Church, of Memphis,
Tenn, who was on visit to relatives in
Helena, preached at the little Union
Chapel last Thursday night from the
text, eye believe in God, believe also in
me-" The power, majesty and glory of
the Triunc God-hcad were portrayed in
sermon Of great force and beauty.
Col the Father, and representative head,
God the Son and Mediator, receiving the
penalty for sin in his own person; and
God the Holy Ghost, striving for man
''wiih groaninHa unuttrrablc."
Rcvrrcntly, the gifted speaker showed
that it took the adorable Trinity-thc
Three in One, 10 save a lost and ruined
world. The Father could not intlict
punishment for sin upon himsclf-hcncc
the aioncmrnt in the second person; nor
could the Son, who had offered himself
Il ransom for sinners by the vicariotIs
sacrifice and oblation Of his sinlcSS body.
effect the reconciliation save through
the office and ministry Of the Holy Ghost.
He told his disciples that it was cXpcdi-
rnt for linn to go away that he might
prepare home for them, but that he
would pray the Father and he would
complete work so gracousIy begun by
him in a life of suffering and sorrow and
death for his friends, and for all men,
50 beautifully cXcmplilicd on the brow
OF Calvary. It would have been of no
avail for linn to prepare those homes OF
fadelcSs beauty for us if we were not pre-
pared for them The Holy Spirit-tlc
Lord OF the Harvest, is striving for man
to-day and whiting TO be gracious.
W" cry Abba Father, by the authority
Of Christ, and approach the Father in
the merit Of Christ, and receive the gift
Of The spirit through tic intcrccssion OF
Christ. While il seems clear, from the
first clause OF the text, that the Savior
calls attention to ihc God-hcad, the lat
ter clauSc--"brlicvc also in me-" shows
the glory, grace and grandeur Of the
Spn OF Man- God manifest i'm the flesh.

Fall and Winter Flowing.

1t is doubtful whether fall plow.
ing, except as q preparation for
small gram, is the best thing for our
farmers. Some Of them believe that
when the stubblc is turned under in
August and September, that the
ground is not put in as good condi-
tion as if thoroughly plowed in Jan
uary or February. MIR. w. ID. Leon
ard, near Reidvillc, claims that, with
his quality Of land, he gets the best
results from the January plowing.
Our farmers might test that matter
by turning equal parts Of Il field in
August, October and January, and
tl"n watch tho growing crop and the
relative condition Of The soil. For
several years we have watched the
market for II strong, simple, cheap
twoIlorsc subsoil plow, with which q
hand and two horses or mules could
plow an acre to an acre and n half Of
land daily, six to ten inches deep.
The latter depth could only be
reached in fields that had been sub
soilcd before. No such plow has yet
made its appearance and the best
plan for general purposes Of deep
p!owing is to use narrow onc.horsc

SOiling Cattle and Pastlragc.

Soiling cattle is feeding them in
their lots or stalls with green food
cut in season and furnished to them.
This plan obtains in towns and where
land is scarce and high. When farm.
ing lands rise to $50 and $75 al
acre, the farmer cannot afford to de-
vote many acres to n pasture. For
soiling purposes, rye, barley and clio.
yer come in earliest, and in our eli
mate one can begin on these by the
middle Of April. Then corn, peas
and the millet family follow. A sue
cession Of these crops is planted so
that, from early spring until a killing
frost, there may be an abundance Of
green food unlcs3 protracted
drought prevails. In the Piedmont
belt where land is cheap it would be
better for our farmers to combine
soiling with limited pasturage. When
one fences up about fifty acres of
gullics, stones, old field pines, with
branch running through, and calls it
apasture, it shows clearly that he does
not understand the meaning or force
Of the word. When unlimited land
is owned, with far proportion Of
swamp area, q good pasture may be
secured in all sorts of weather, but
precious little milk and butter come
from such pastures. Small lots iu-
diciously set in grass near the stables
will do much more good than these
immense enclosures. Glover and
orchard grass mixed make q fine
early pasture which will give out
about the first of July. Then an
acre or two in Bermuda grass will
carry the stock till frost. A lot that
is half bottom land we'll set in Der
muda will prove most valuable. One
advantage Of this is that milk and
butter made from this are always
sweet and uniform in taste. When
milch COWS have large range, one
vita we'll cultivated taste can tell by
the milk when the rag weed season
begins, or when the. COWS have been
eating the woods mushrooms. Small,
cultivated pastures, supplemented
with soiling, will secure milk Of uni
form flow and quality. 1t is not too
late to SOW rye and barley on rich
lots. 1t will come we'll if sown to
the middle Of October. -Four acres
of pasture, we'll cared for, will sup
port half dozen cattle from April to
November, provided you supplement
this with two acres Of crops for soil
ing purposes. 1t will also furnish
pasturage and green food for two or
three horses or mules. If the milk
and butter Of our country could be
doubled the bacon bills would be
much cut down, the quantity and
quality Of beef would be increased
and numerous lots near the stables
would be maze very rich.-Carolina

A HORRIBLE POUNDING
Administered to an Incon.
slant Wife by Her Hus-
band.

One morning last week, James Carey,
baker Of Newark n. j., exclaimed:
81 will bet some one is in my house."
and putting on his Goa started for home.
Cary on entering his house went at once
to his wife's bedroom. He saw a hat and
coat on the floor which did not belong to
him. His wife lay still in bed as IL asleep.
A hurried inspection Of the premises con-
WINGED him that the intruder was not in
the house. Hurrying into the house he
found Matthew Purcell, baker, in scant
apparel secreted in shed. Carey made
rush for him, but Purcell nimbly leap
ed fence and ran down Crane street,
Carey then entered the house and walked
straight to his wife's bedroom. He lock-
ed the door and wrenched a round from
a chair and without word Of warning
he walked over to the bed upon which his
wife was lying and stuck her with it on
the top of the head. She screamed and
springing from the bed fell upon her
knees. begging him not to murder her.
He answered her only with succession
of heavy blows with the chair round.
Her cries attracted the attention Of Mrs.
Lindsey, who lives on the floor above.
She ran down stairs and finding the door
Of Mrs. Carey's room locked she burst it
from its hinges. She weighs nearly 200
pounds. Carey had his wife by the hair
and was raining savage blows upon her
upturned face. Mrs. Lindsey rushed at
him and tried to drag him from his vic
tim. In the scuffle which followed Ca
rey's shirt was torn from his back and
Mrs. Lindsey was thrown in one corner.
The neighbors rushed into the room and
rescued Mrs. Carey who was then insen-
sible. Carey took Purcell's hat and coat
into the street and made bonfire Of
them and then returned to his work.
Mrs. Carey's right arm, two ribs and jaw
are broken. Her condition is not ne
cessarily fatal, however, Carey was arres-
ted.

A Cat on a Bender.

George A. Gray, Of Woodland street.
Meriden Conn.,, has three year old cat,
which until recently has conducted her
self with the proprietry and sobriety.
The other day she quit her play and mis-
chief and began to yawl as if in pain and
soon stretched out in q death-bed attitude
and apparently departed for the land
where all good cats are supposed to
60.
After the flow of family tears had par
TALLY subsidized, the cat after several
hours of desuetude, began to show signs
of returning consciousness, and finally
pulled herself together nearly as good as
new.
The secret of the incident came out two
days later when it was discovered feas-
ting on bits of steak which neighbOr
had been soaking in whiskey for medici-
nal purposes. In brief, the cat was dead
drunk, and this in q community where
man has no right to deluge himself with

SENSATIONAL STORY.
Relating the Assassination
of the Late James A.
Garfield.

The death of Col. George B. COrkhill
has revived many recOllectiOns Of the
Guiteau trial and is leading to pretty
free exercise of the journalistic magma
ton on that celebrated subject. A
highly sensational story appears in
New York paper lately from cOrrespOn-
dent at Long Branch in which it is re-
lated that only a short time before he
left Washington for Iowa, where he died,
Col. COrkhill came into possession Of in
formation incontestable, eliminating two
prominent public men in the assassina-
ton of President Garfield. The CORES
pendent summarizes this information as
follows: Col. COrkhill claimed to be able
to show by legal evidence appointments
and long talks regarding the removal Of
Garfield held at luncheOns at RudOlph's
and in a certain basement restaurant not
far from that hospitable bar"
He believed in the existence Of fully
developed conspiracy whose plat covered
even the fight Of the assassin to Europe.
Corkhill said he knew the vessel, the
name under which stateroom was ia
ken for Guiteau and the identity Of the
persons who were to assist him in his
flight. Dates, names Of men and steam
ers were at his fingers ends.
The information is alleged to have
come to Col. COrkhill through Guiteau's
divorced wife who has been here seeking
pension for her second husband. The
story goes that she called on him and
agreed that in exchange for his assis-
lance in the pension matter, she would
surrender to him a number Of important
letters left by Guiteau bearing on the
subject of the assassination. Col. Cork
hill was permitted to read the letters
and from them was enabled to extract
the secret history referred to.
The story finds no believers here. Gui'
teau's effects were not delivered to the
woman in question, but to his brother
The divorced wife did not figure in the
trial, and could have come in possession
of nothing belonging to the assassin in
any way bearing on his crime. The In
cident as to the bundle of letters is there.
fore almost improbable.
As to COrkhill, while he felt his failure
to be reappointed district attorney very
keenly and attributed it to his connec
ton with the Guiteau trial, he never in
timated to his friends here that there
was the slightest occasion to suspect
conspiracy in the assassination OF thu
president. He was q man Of habits
aud when in his cups talked great deal
but he was incapable Of assaulting cha
racter by innuendO or Of pretending tt
possess documents not in existence. Tit
general verdict is decidedly against thu
sensation.
