= When we look around US and see
the way some things are drifting, we
tremble. Our young men and our young
women must be taught to know that
character in its deepest and broadcast
sense is of far greater value than money.
The sacrifice of character and manhood
for money most assuredly will not pay.
Put men versus money, and we will take
men. The need of the times is men, OF
honor and integrity, for high type OF
manhood is just as essential to true liber'
ty and happiness as air is to life. Give
us men who will follow right because it
is right in the scorn of consequence, and
who esteem principle above money.
And then-but we will say no more on
thi, subject now.-Sumter Advance.

have said nothing of the cost of ma.
nuring, but here again, to be not only
ductive, but even a tolerably safe crop,
oats require a much greater outlay for
manure than corn, the reasons for which
will be explained hereafter. On our thin
lands twelve to fifteen bushels of cotton
seed, or, better. fifty to seventy FIVE
pounds of cotton seed meal mixed with
loo pounds of acid phosphate, will do
very we'll for corn, and may be, in fact,
the very best and safest quantity to use.
But oats need twenty-five bushels of cot
ton seed and 300 pounds acid phosphate,
or $50 pounds cotton seed meal and the
same of acid phosphate, or $50 to 500
pounds of ammonieted superphosphate.
"Wheat," says the Kausss farmer, wants
dark and firm seed bed," and so do oats,
and, therefore, they break no more than
two or three inches deep. A deeply pull
verized soil holds too much moisture
during the winter, and is subject to
greater and more frequent fluctuations of
temperature, and for these reasons it does
not warm up so quickly with spring SUM-
shine.
The quantity Of seed to be sown is an
important matter. The common prac.
tice is about bushel and half, though
many SOW two, while our fathers thought
even one was extravagant, and not few
can be found still who sustain their views.
l appeal again to the Northwestern far.

the neatest, nor the most successful far.
mers in the world, ought to know from
long and much experience about oats.
They contend for four, FIVE and even six
bushels. 1t is true that they have strong
land, and it is equally true that four,
three and even two bushels are more than
enough for our thin soils without ma
nure. 1t may pay we'll enough to SOW
these thin lands lightly without manure
if you feed off the crop on the ground to
hogs and follow with peas to be treated
in the same way; hat is, let the hogs
gather the crop. There is no better or
cheaper way to restore our wornout land
than to use oats, rye AID peas in this
way. But if We plant oats 10 harvest
and thresh we ought to prepare our land
for thirty, forty ard fifty bushels, and
then two aud a half, three and even four
bushels may be sown with advantage.
AS to the varieties to be planted there
can scarcely be two opinions. For fall
sowing there is nothing to compare with
the rust proof. Formerly rust was the
greatest enemy of the oat crop, and it
would be again but for the discovery of
this oat. So far as the information of
the writer goes it has never been attacked
by rust. Tho grain is large and the stalk
rather small, and for these reasons a
greater quantity of seed should be used.
But for spring crop it will not do,
rarely growing, unless on very strong
land, tall enough to cradle. The "little
white" is q spring oat, and now and then,
whenever it escapes rust, makes an admi.
rable crop, but it can hardly be depended
on to escape rust more than one year in
three. Unquestionably the black oat is
the best of all spring oats. In six sue.

ED. FREEMAN:
| have been gone from nome
most two weeks. While gone | was
in Canada, in Boston, and other
Eastern cities, and wherever l
went, found the camp fires for Pro-
hibition brightly burning, Espe-
cially cheering is the outlook in
New Jersey. I had the pleasure
of meeting and hearing their no
BILE standard bearer, Gen. Clinton
B. Fiske. He speaks with no I'M
certain sound, and is working our
cause up there as it never was
worked before. The only display
of banners and enthusiasm which
l saw in New Jersey was that OF
the Prohibitionists and new re-
cruits are coming in from both par
ties every day.
General Fisk said that there
were about 100 meetings held ev-
cry night, in the State, and that
they were uniformly well attend
ed, mostly by the best class OF citi-
zens, and the interest would be kept
up in every county until Novem-
Der, when we may expect good I'll
dings from them. We in the West
should not be found wanting in SO
noble a conflict with the powers OF
darkness. Yours truly,

The Great Issue to be Settled.

Mr. EDITOR:
l see the following questions
asked in your last issue will any
body please tell US what the Demo
cratic and Republican parties OF
West Virginia are fighting aboutT'
and "What great issues do these
parties propose to settle in the
coming campaign ?"
Well, sir, l have been closely
observing the war, as it has been
going on between these parties for
several years past, trying to find
out what great issue there is be-
tween them except that they have
both sold themselves to the Devil
and are striving to see which can
do the most for his cause in fight
ing against God, humanity and
christianity; and, sir, that is the
great issue which they expect to
settle in the coming campaign.

THE I. o. G. T. RE-oRGANIzED.
San Marcos free press. [volume] (San Marcos, Tex.) 1877-1892, 1886-02-25

The republican papers, for some
weeks past, have been engaged IN
circulating serious charges against
Messrs. Lamar and Garland, mem.
bers of president Cleveland 5 cabinet,
in reference TO matters connected
with the Pan Electric Telephone Co.,
n rival of the Bell Telephone Co. The
facts, so far as wo are able to gather
them, are rs follows: Some years
ago n young man named Rogers in
vented the system of toiephoning
now known as the PAM Electric. Be
ing poor, and wishing to connect in
nuential men with him, he organized
a company of S15, 600, 900 capital and
gave blocks of it away to influential
men, senators and other government
officials, mostly from the South. Mr.
Garland, then n senator from Aiken
sas, was assigned block Of $780,
900, which he holds at this time. In
vestigation by the holders of this
stock, or their attorneys, has devo!-
oped the fact, 50 it is charged, that
the patents granted to the Bell tele-
phone people were fraudulently is
sued by unscrupulous officials con
nected with the patent Office. These
facts were brought to the attention
of secretary Lamar, of the interior
department. A thorough investiga-
ton was made by that officer, and he
directed the Acknowledgement to bring
suit to set aside the Bel telephone
patents as II fraud. If the patonts
are set aside, the stock Of the PAN
Electric will rise to or above par,
thus making the stockholders inn
mensely wealthy with but little if any
outlay. If the Bell telephone patents
were fraudulently issued, they ought
to be set aside, no matter what effect
it may have upon the stock of the
Pan Electric; but The question re-
mains as to the propricty of govern
ment officials holding blocks of stock
i'll corporations of this kind, for which
they never paid cent. 1t may be
all right, but we are free to admit it
