The pine straw fibre factory at
Eastover Richland county, s. c.,
has recently gotten out substitute
for jute bagging which may in the
course of time come very generally
into use. 1t is combination
of pine straw and cotton, and is said
to be as strong, and costs only nine
cents yard Several bales clad in
this new covering have been sold,
and experienced cotton men have
pronounced it to be the best substi-
tute yet found. So many "best
substitutes" have been discovered
since the fight against jute began,
however, that until a regular test of
it is made it is impossible to say
what the new covering will be worth.

HOMES FOR OUR PEOPLE.

One alarming fact that faces the
southern people to-day is that so
many of our working people do not
own houses. 1t would no doubt as
sonish many of our readers to know
how many white men who are heads
of families in Cobb county to-day,
do not own a home, but are shelter
ing themelves, their wives and chill
dren in the house CT another.
We heartily endorse the following
on this subject from the Alliance
Farmer:
For some time we have had in our
mind the Importance of some plan
by which the great masses of the
people can become owners of homes.
We want no socialistic or communis-
tic plan for distribution. We want
no plan by which our people will be
enabled to emigrate to some land of
promise, nor do we want any plan
by which men may win or become
owners of homes for which they
have not paid fair value. What
We do want is some means by which
every honest toiler may own home
be it a little cabin on ten acre lot
or neat cottage on hundred acre
farm, We want the man who works
it to own it. There is no place on
earth so sweet as home. Be it ever
50 humble the owner of home is a
better citizen on account of it's own
ership.
When a man has little piece of
ground and can put daily labor on
it, every lick that he puts there is a
permanent improvement for his low
ed ones, lie will at once begin to look
to the good of society and the coun-
try, for ne teels that right here my
wife is to spend her future life, right
here my boys and girls are to be
reared and perhaps will marry Snd
rear families of their own. Then /
must do all in my power to purify
and elevate society. l must help to
build churches and schools and home
industries right here.
1t is possible for a man who is a
renter to have this feeling. He can
not work to improve the land be-
bause be knows that nine times out
of ten if worthless negro were to
come along and offer one hundred
pounds more cotton. per annum fol
the fam than he gave, the negro
would get the land and he would
have to move. We want our breth.
rem to own farms, and we want those
of our brethren who have money tC
see to it that the worthy men have
an opportunity to do so. God never
intends man to accumulate wealth
for his own selfish purposes, but he
has entrusted this wealth to put il
where it will do the most good.

REAPING SWEET POTATOES.
:Dixie Farmer.

Referring to the keeping of sweet
potatoes, | am convinced. after two
years. that the practice | have
adopted is reliable and as near per-
feet as any, considering its ease Of
adaptation and execution. never
dig until frost bites the vines, for to
dig earlier will be to lose the best
growth in an average season. IF
the land is wet enough to have the
tubers stuck with mud, / prefer
waiting, even after frost, until it is
drier, as from dry dirt they come
out in much more slightly condi-
ton.
When digging commences drive
four boards where you wish to win
ter them the height you wish the
bank, in such way as to form q
square funnel or fue. Place around
them bed of dry pine straw the
diameter of the proposed bank
Now place the potatoes around the
fiue as steep as they will pile
When night comes on, cover them
with the thickness of, say three
inches of pine straw, and after the
sun is up in the morning remove
the straw and sun again, and con-
tinue this for several consecutive
days, when you may place the straw
upon them and cover them with
dirt leaving the top Of the Hue open,
and if you will now place a short
course OF boards or broad piece of
plank on the top of the hole in such
way as to turn off the rain and
snow, pou my leave the balance to
kind providence, feeling assured
that He will keep them for you I'M
til the following April, when He
will call upon you to take them out
of their winter quarters and place
them in a cool place.
The especial objects to be attain
ed are, Use pine straw to cover
them with because they do not abb
sorb dampness SO readily as other
materials, and will not undergo
heating or fermenting. They must
be aired and summed to evaporate
the dampness and dissipate, as far
as possible, all the foreign matters
and grasses deposited with them.
The hue must always be kept open
as means of escape for impurities,
gases and heat that continue to
generate, especially at the bottom of
the pile, thus tending to en- even
temperature within.
| regard the potato crop as one of
prime importance, but not as mon
ey crop. The price they command
will not justify the extra expense Of
digging and marketing, but for al
most all meat hogs, the hogs them
selves to perform the labor of root
ing them up it is best to plant in
two plots of ground, in separate in
closures. After one patch has been
exhausted the hogs may be turned
upon the other, allowing the stock
"bunch" to CLEAN after them. l am
satisfied that meat fattened in this
way, and with the feeding of
small amount of corn, is the cheap
est l can raise. The pasturage of a
corn and peafield and good sized
potato patch is the best "mast" for
hogs / know of.

A Back Country HoosIer on n Steam
boat

Going up the Ohio river last fall,
we took ON board d rather verdant
youth at Hickman. His curiosity
was unbounded. He examined here,
and he scrutinized there; he wOrmed
from the engineer a compulsory lee
ture on the steam engine and mechan'
les in general, and from The fireman
an essay on "white heat" and the av.
erage consumption of pine cord wood,
etc,
At length his "inquiring mind
was checked In its investigations.
He mounted to the wheel house and
asked the plot:
"What air you doin' that fur, mis-
ter. What good does il do?
He was here observed by the cap.
tain. who said in a gruff voice
$50 way from here Don't you
, see the sign: No talking to the man
al the hellum y Gro way :"
ooh, cerung, ye-es but [ only
wanted ter know
"Well, you do know that you
can't talk to him so just 90 way :"
With unwilling willingness the yer.
dant youth came down /; and as it wa:
.oon dark, he presently went below
but four or five times before be
"turned in" he was on deck. and neal
the wheel-house, cycling il with q
thoughtful curiosity but, with the
captains rebuff still in his ears, ven
tured to ask no question.
In the first gray of the morning be
was up and ont on deck; and after
some hesitation, perceiging nobody
near save the pilot, who was turning
the wheel as when he had last seen
him. he asked his suppressed question
in an oblique style, somewhat charac
teristic of his region:
"Wal-goin' it yet, hay? Been

AN ADVANCE IN MORALS.

There is class of pessimists who
shake their heads when the great ad.
vance in material civilization during
the present century is alluded to and
mournfully suggest that it is really
worthless since it is unaccompanied by
moral growth. These gloomy indi-
viduals are blind to facts. The NOR
al advancement, especially along hu.
manitarian lines, has almost if not
quite kept pace with the material.
Laura Bridgman, who died on Fri
day, supplies one landmark of this
progress, and plenty of Others are not
far to seek.
The care which liberated the in
tellect of this afflicted woman and
brought her into intelligent CO nmuni-
cation with her kind could not or
would not have been exercised in any
previous age. She recalls to us what
has been done within the last fifty
years for the blind and the deaf and
dumb. Is there any better evidence
of moral growth than the wonderful
increase in the attention now paid to
unfortunate humanity? The disap
pearance of barharOus and dispropor.
tionate punishment of criminals and
of imprisonment for debt has a SINH
lar significance.
In the early part ofthe present cen.
fury people were hanged for compare
lively petty thefts. No attention va;
paid to the sanitary condition of pris
ons. Only recently fiogging has
beer abolished in the English Navy
and it yet fingers in this country in.
Delaware. There has been revolu.
ton in the treatment of the insane.
Slavery has been abolished. The i'm
provement and extension of systemat.
ic charities have heen very great.
Organizations for the prevention OF
cruelty, industrial schools and numer
Gus other forms of practical benevo
lence unknown half a century age
prevail ON every side. These things
are indubitablc signs cf moral growth
or else a tree is not known by its
fruits.
The wrong conclusions of our pes
simistic friends are based, aside from
their natural leaning toward the dark
side of things, on the undermining
which appears to be going on in some
old forms of belief. There may be
here in their eyes an outward indica
ton of decadence, but it is false sign
if it contravenes the fact that the
heart of civilized humanity throb:
with a truer and frmer beat than il
did before the age of steam and cleo
tricity.
