a letter to a gentleman in South Car

Northern people to come South, in
which he well suggests:
Concerted action on the part of
the people of the section desiring to
attract is necessary, however. and I
wish to say to you that it does not
strike me that the people of the
South have taken hold of the matter
80 far in anything like the spirit
that it has been taken hold of by
the people of Arkansas, Texas, Loua
isiana, Kansas and the other West1
ern States. Stimulate your own
people, and you may rest assured
the railroads will give you every ia
cilitY within their power to assist in
the movement

railroads have given the opportuni-
ity, and our people must meet it.

Do Men Gather Figs OfThistIes?

1t is as reasonable to expect figs from
thistles as to look for good results when
poor seeds are planted. If you plant an
acorn you cannot gather apricots, and
if you SOW poor and old seeds you can
not have large and solid cabbage heads,
nor round and regular tomatoes, nor
perfect and juicy canteloupes. The
moral of this is, Be sure you get gooG
seeds to avoid disappointment. Lam
dreth's seeds are regarded the best all
over the United States, and you can get
the best crop at Pelham's Drug Store.

away there in a cell. The necessity for
increased accommodations was peculiarly
urgent. The question at that time vas
whether it was advisable to go to the ex-
pense OF building a new, secure and
decent Jail or make such alterations
in the old one as would furnish
the required accommodations. Owing to
the business outlook the latter propo-
sition was looked upon with most public
favor. The San however took the oppo-
site view of the case. 1t favored a new
jail and it wanted one that was built with
all the modern improvements. Anybody
who opposed this notion was looked upon
as a foe to the material prosperity of the
town. "Give us a fine new jail" was
ding donged into the ears of the people
for several weeks, both by the paper
itself and the editor in his private capaci-
ty. Fortunately the commission
ers did not follow this advice,
but we submit that it requires great nerve
for the SIM to come out and thrash its
arms before the whole congregation just
as though it wouldn't have been a public
calamity had its advice been followed in
the first place.
If the Sun wishes to continue the dis
cussion it will afford us great pleasure to
point out the error of its ways.

WANTED-FACTS NOT FICTION

WANTED-FACTS NOT FICTION
For several weeks past our esteemed
but hilarious contemporary the SIN has
been shrieking for the publication of the
semi annual report of the county clerk.
So far as the readers of that paper could
judge, if they depended on that unsatis-
factory beacon light for information, the
publication of the clerks report would
cause this sad world of ours to wiggle out
of its sphere and cause weak minded
men to drop dead with amazement.
In due course of time tie report actu-
ally was published in these columns. 1t
appeared for three consecutive days and
everybody interested saw it. The editor
OF the Sun saw it but with strange faulty
since, as heretofore, he has relied upon
his own unaided Imagination to furnish
him with facts when he might readily
have obtained a more reliable article by
picking up the sworn statement of the
clerk.
1t is an unfortunate disposition of the
Sun to not banker after facts so much as
to force everything to dovetail with its
conception of the situation. For in
stance. suppose the cattle valuation has
fallen 1881 .246, why should the county
commissioners be blamed for the circum-
stance2 As we have previously pointed
out this assessment is not made by the
several boards of county commissioners,
but by a special territorial board. If the
SuRiwishes to make any point against the
methods Of the present board Of county
commissioners why doesn't it take the
official figures? When it asserts that it
has cost $4,000 TO run the county for
six months it calmly gives forth a false
statement which is calculated to work
mischievous results. A few minutes
spent over the sworn Gemi annual state
ments of County Clerk Jeffrey will show
that the cost Of running the county for
twelve months is a little less than SIG
600. There is nothing to be gained by
fippant assertions of this sort and
body about the Sun office should have
sense enough to know it.
Nothing shows the inconsistency and
unreasoning fury of the Sun with greater
force than its ~allusion to the fact that
$4,000 was uselessly invested in the pur
chase of a lot or which it was proposed
to erect a county jail. This was done at
a period when the Jail was literally over
crowded and its prisoners we're slowed

MAKE A NOTE or THEN.

Here are just a few more paragraphs
that our esteemed contemporary the Sun
will %purposely neglect to blazon to the
world:
The Boston Herald gives editorial pro-
minence to the following: Mr.. Mars
hall Field, the head of the great Chicago
mercantile house, has been in Boston
and he talked politics while here. Mr-Field
is a strong Republican and he is a pro-
te%ctionist, but, to the surprise of some
Republicans who interviewed him, he pro
fessed an intention this year of voting for
Cleveland. He does this on the ground
that President Cleveland's administration
in its policy on the tariff question is dis
tinctly in the business interests of the
country. Mr.. Field says that there is no
free trade at all to be apprehended from
it, but that there is a just and wise mod
crate reduction of the rate of duties which
is needed at this juncture and which must
be had il the nation is to escape serious
difficulties. He thinks the Republicans
have made a great mistake in allowing the
Democrats to take the lead of them in re-
formation ON this point"
A Mount Vernon, Ill, dispatch says
that jacob Cronbach, a lealing druggist
and prominent Republican, expressed the
opinion that Cleveland would carry Indi-
ana. He said the adoption of the local
option plank in the platform by the late
Republican state convention will give
Cleveland and the entire Democratic
ticket a walkover in this state. Nj.

 until the customers are afraid their com panions will think they are in debt to the agents. Shoninger by honorable | straight forward dealings steps in and
 makes the sale. Avoid such agents. They
 are considering your pocketbook more than
 the quality of the goods they are trying to sell you. We have no state agents, no county agents or town agents, because we I combine all that ourselves under one head Manufacturers and state agents, and save you at least two profits. Extra induce

in so good condition as the great roads to stand cut, were reduced one-fourth, there would be further saving to the government of 8, ,000, ,000. On those roads where postal cars are used the government pays for the use of these cars, which Postmaster General Villas a year ago showed was in the nature of a gratuity, and the abolition of this charge would save another S2, 2,000,000 to the government. These three items that might be saved by applying the methods of private business to government bus mess aggregate S7,000,000. The appro- priation for the current fiscal year for railway transportation of the mails is S19 ,000,000 and the estimate for the next fiscal year is something over S21, 000,000 With the saving of S7 ,000, 900, which could be easily made as above, one cent letter postage would be practi- | cable. Indeed, other advantages, such as an extension of the service and per lection of its details, would be available as a result of this saving.
 Of course with one cent postage the postal revenues would be expected to show deficit, even with the saving of S7 ,000, ,000 from the charges of railway l transportation, for which special ap- propriations would have to be made. But,as experience has shown, the increa- sed business of the postotfice that always follows a reduction in postage might be expected to offset in a few years this deficiency, and with the growth of the country this business would increase and help to make the postoffice depart ment self-supporting. But in any event the postal service has never been regard ed in this country as source of revenue, and the spirit of the government has always been to increase its facilities and reduce its expense to the people when ever and wherever practicable. The gradual cheapening of postal rates and the increase of postal facilities that has been so marked characteristic and so creditable matter of legislation in recent years is a sure indication that one cent postage is yet to come.
 The republican party should redeem its pledge and furnish the country one-cent postage when the Fifty-first congress comes together.
