Injustice.

1t DOCS seem that it is about
fine for the spirit Of sectionalism
in South Carolina to die out. The
low-country is, in many respects,
different from the up-country, but
no sensible reason can be assigned
why one section should strive to
rule the other. During the last
session Of the legislature, this
spirit Of Jealousy, this desire for
supremacy on..thc part of t he low
country, was plainly manifested.
Charleston is South Carolina in tie
eyes Of a Charlcstonian. BY what
system of reasoning the lcgis,a-
turc arrived at the conclusion that
Charleston County is entitled to
retain two Senators, and every
other county one, V" do not know.
One Of the fundamental principles
underlying the American govern
ment, and IN that marks it's SUI
periOrity, is, that in the lower
house the representation shall be
in proportion to the population,
but in the other house, the little
States OF Delaware and Rhode Is
land have as much power rs the
Empirc-Statc. This is one Of the
checks which the trainers Of u
organic law have seen wise to
make, and the same principle
should be recognized in the State.
This may appear to be small mat
ter, and really, we might allow
Charleston two Senators if she
would be satisfied, but not content
with this, the low-country has
defeated the census bill because by
it u representation would be in
creased in a greater proportion.
When it IN to cheating us of
Il rights and allowing greed such
sway that the plain provisions Of
the constitution are disrcgarded,
then, not even for the sake of mr.
mony, and at the risk of stirring
up sectional animosity, We must
enter a positive protest. 1t is gross
injustice and an insult to the State.
Let the representatives be appoint
ed fairly according TO the principle
OF equality, cost what it may. We
think Il @ C nsus should have been
taken as the law directs.

Are We to Have an Institu.eq

II we are able to judge the signs
of the times correctly, we think
that the subject of education in
this State will receive more attcn-
ton in the future than it has in the
past. During the past few years,
our public school system has inn
proved wonderfully, and while it
is by no means perfect, nor is it rs
efficient rs it could be made, 1t is
encouraging TO soc that efforts are
being made for its Improvement.
Teachers arc beginning to sec the
Importance of Keeping fully up
with the improved methods of
teaching, and of making the art OF
teaching 4 study. We look upon
the day when Teachers Institutes
were first introduced, as the dawn
of a brighter era upon the Il of
education. Those who are not
willing to spend II few weeks in
learning from others the methods
that experience has taught are best;
those, who in this advanced age,
are willing to follow in the old rutS
which learning has long since
abandoned, and who seem by their
actions to suppose that there Is
nothing more to be learned, are not
compctcnt to occupy places in II

Poultry in the Country.
I'rom Cor. Southern Worldly

CFrom Cor. Southern Worldly
Among the now considered small
interests OF the South is that OF
poultry. a "cIlickcn man" South
is laughed at by his ncighbors, and
set down as either a crank or n
fool. a chicken man" in the
North and West is n lord. The
man in the South who gives S. for
a Plymouth Rock rooster is; ready
for the lunatic asylum, while the
fancicrs of the North and West
think no more of giving $50 and $50
for Il chicken than the Georgia
Cracker" thinks of drinking a
quart OF sweet milk q day. Men
all over the North and West are
dailyecoining..moncy raising chick.
ems, yes, raising chickens,-"a little
business. During my travels in
Massachusetts and Indiana, last
summer | sat down to- meat with
at least three "chickcn mon" who
had amaSscd fortunes Is. raising
poultry both for fancy and market.
One young man OF %, had sold du.
ring March, April and May, $4,000
worth of cggs.and chickens, and in
June had more orders than he
could fill. y man Of 33, in Indiana,
worked, III years ago, as a. day
laborcr on a farm to get the money
t" buy his first pair of chickens,
and to-day he owns Il fine farm and
is worth $4,000, all from his "little
chicken business" Now these two
men arc only fair samples of hun
drcdS OF "chickcn mCnn all over
cntcrprising Yankccdom, where
they have six months of snow and
ice, and are compelled to build
winter quarters for their chicks
while in our sunny land rarely !,
day dawns that we cannot turn
our birds upon a green pasture OF
oats, Frye, barley or wheat. We
have the grandest country.on earth
for poultry, as it is for everything
else, and yet our folks are sitting
down and idling away time with
the gold fields in view.

Justice Miller, of the Supreme

Justice Miller, of the Supreme
Court, is represented to have OK
pressed the opinion that under the
tenure of Office Act the President
has no power to remove an official
without the consent Of the Senate,
(Section 1859 and that, in case
the Senate refuses to confirm nomi-
nations made to succeed suspended
officials, the latter arc restored to
office until their Successors are con-
firmed. Most of the Senators held
a different opinion, but Justice
Miller says that Il suspended Off
cial whose successor IL not con
firmed can be held responsible for
the conduct of his Office from the
date on which the nomination of
his successor is rejected, and that
any Court will so decide.

Feeding Cattle.

Some recently published "Notes
on Cattle Feeding" by Professor
George Il. Morrow, of tho Univer-
sity of Illinois, at Champaign, ILL.,,
arc well worth study. The sum-
ming up of the notes is as follows:
Bearing in mind that it is not
wise to draw final conclusions from
single trials, the facts concerning
these cattle suggest or illustrate
among other things that:
1. The diffcrenc in animals oflike
breeding and under like treatment
are aften greater than those be-
tween typical animals of different
breeds.
9. Under the prevalent method OF
vintering steers in the western
States little u NO gain il maze III
weight during winter.
3. 1t is difficult, if not impossible,
no secure under good conditions
gains in winter which snail nearly
equal those made in summer.
4. The largest gains may be eX-
pcctcd from animals in thin flesh,
if i'm good health. 1t Is difficult to
c rapid gain in weight during
long continued feeding.
s. Under like conditions young
animals make largest gain in pro-
portion to food eaten.
G. A fair profit can be made, even
at present low prices by grazing
and then grain feeding for two or
three months cattle which were
judiciously bought or economically
reared to be sold when from thirty
to t~hirty-six months old.
7. Economy of production Is quite
as important as maximum product
especially in times of low prices.
1t is not clear that it is profitable
to full grain feeding to steers de-
signed for the general markets du-
ring the best of the grazing season:
1t is not proved that it Is most
profitable for Western farmers to
fattcn and sell their steers as year
lings.

Mr. LACOMBE ON THE BROADWAY FRANCHISE
T. Henry Lacombe, the counsel for the

states Circuit behalf OF the city III the suit OF
the Worcester National Biuk against the Attorney
General aud other officials to prevent tho sale ot the
franchise OF tho Broadway Surface Railroad Company
and the annulliug the charter
of tine company. Tue admits the truth or many
OF tne rcctas OF the complaint. Ihe Corporation
Counsel since the OF the acts dnHulng
eonpanys charter there has been no person or
y authorized exercise the rights, privileges ana
anch.scs heretofore held by the company, ana no
person or corporate body has agreed or promised 10 pay
ihe defendant the $4,000 year and percentage on
receipts due 10 the city The only means Tue
answer says by which the city can hope TO Obtain thc
payment money due 10 1t and that VIII become due
by tho sale OF tho franchise at pubic auction as pro-
vidcd by the Legislature. i.
The granting Injunction to restrain the sale or
the franchise would the Corporation Counsel says,
cause rreparabe damage to the city and might ato-
gether prevent the city from recovering tho SiOoOO
the the gross receipts Ior the
period Tor Which the Injunction Is granted.
