Spanish Peauutsy Pigs and Stock. Grow.
jnp

The introduction ofthe Spanish peanut
into the South is providing very bless.
ing. It is very early, prolific, easy of
cultivation, easy to harvest, and exceed
ingly fattening. Bacon ought not to cost
the Southern farmer more than three or
four cents per pound, raised at home, if
he will avail himself of natural advanta.
ges, and escape the cholera. We advise
every farmer to get seed of this new
variety in time to plant in April and
May, and again in June and July.
February and March pigs make the
cheapest pork-if pressed from the start,
and butchered in December. They may
be made to weigh easily from 150 to 200
pounds. The sows should be literally
fed so as to induce a bountiful supply of
milk and as soon as the pigs will eat they
should have plenty Of corn meal musb,
butter milk, collards or other greens, slops
from the kitchen. They should grow
from the very beginning, and never per.
mitted to aqueal for food.
We have often insisted upon more at.
tention to stock.growing as a source Of
direct revenue and profit, as well as a
means of restoring and keeping up the
fertility of our soils. The objections
sometimes urged that beef cattle, mutton
and butter, the most convenient FORMS in
which the results will reach the market,
are not sufficiently in demand, or the
prices offered by dealers in cities and
towns are two low. To this may be urged
in reply that farmers ought to demand,
and they will as certainly obtain, the
same prices that are paid for the same
articles brought from the West-provided
the quality be the same. Now, how does
the beef, mutton, butter, ETC., offered by
the average farmer in our home markets,
compare with same articles brought from
Cincinnati, Chicago and st. Louis? Is
there any reason why Georgia or Ala
bama farmer may not make as good beef
or butter as the.1llinois or Iowa farmer?
We know that he does not, but Why not ?
Moreover, if Armour & Co., of Chicago
can buy beeves, butcher them, ship them
to Atlanta and Montgomery and New
Orleans in refrigerator cars, and sell the
dressed quarters for less than six cents
per pound laid down in the retail butch.
er's stall, how can the Iowa farmers who
produced the beeves make money-which
they certainly do? And if the Iowa OF
Illinois farmer can produce beef at such
prices, on land worth fifty dollars an
acre, may not the Georgia farmer do the
same on lands that are worth no more
than fflh as much The same questions
apply with even more force to butter and
other products Of the dairy.
These are pertinent questions and are
entitled to consideration. Our farmers
ought to supply our city, and town popu'
lstion with beef, bacon, and lard, mutton
and milk and butter, and at less cost
than the same can be brought from
abroad or can be produced by the consum.
ers themselves. More than thef, sc
ought to compete with the auestern men in
the large markets q tie East, New York,
Boston, Philadelphia. Baltimore and

"I Die Poor"


Bishop McTyerie's last will and tesla.
ment, which we publish in this issue, is q
notable paper. 1t wlll provoke thought,
and be means of grace to many. The
most Insignificant sentence in it
is this: "I die poor" It is an uncon.
scious but conclusive vindication of the
motives that governed bis life as minis.
ter of the Lord Jesus Christ, and places
him in the true apostolical succession in
his relation to secular matters. 1t was
not from lack of ability for business that
the bishop died poor. His sagacity, en-.
ergy, and industry would have command.
ed the largest measure of success in com.
mercial life. In the management of
the temporal interests of the Church he
displayed much aptitude and wisdom. AS
an adviser, he was much consulted, as an
administrator he was very efficient. No
man among US vas more frequently con.
suited concerning these matters, and
none did better service to-the Church in
experimenting its temporal interests in
the broad field Of his service during the
loug..and busy years of his ministry.
Nor was it from lack of opportunity to
make money that the Bishop died poor.
he handled immense sums of money un.
der conditions that would have tempted
many men to turn the trust to personal
profits without violation of the ethics
that are now..tolerated in business circles.
Never, directly or indirectly, did he think
of so doing. His sense of honor was
faultlessly acute, aud the ruling motives
of his life lifted him above the possibility
and even the thought of incidental pecu.
mary profit to himself in the handling of
sacred trust fund committed to his
hands. His annual income was large
enough to justify the expectation that he
made moderate accumulations; but
those of US who knew the extent of his
benefactionsand his abundant hospitality
could not be surprised when ne read in
his last will and testament the words: Z
die poor" he was cheerful and libe.
raj giver according to- his ability. He
preached; he held himself to be a Stew
ard, and wished to be found faithful in
the day reckoning. His teaching on this
subject was strong and pointed his ex.
ample is wholesome. The great body of
the Bishops co.workers can use his dying
words. The rule is that they die poor.
God wants an muscular ministry, and the
rule is that not many rich are called to it.
he knows what human nature is, and
guards it on its weak side. He knows
the heart of the toiling millions, and
sends them Pastors who can understand
their needs and sympathize with them.
No sane man could be tempted to enter
the ministry of the Methodist Church
from mercenary motives. May it always
be so! "I die poor" said the great lead.
er in our Isreal. His hands we're clean
if they were empty. But how rich bis
life in the fruits of untiring toll and the
abiding influence of his example.-Nash-

O.T.-"Yes. They are the Laws our

out the funds plseed in your hands for
the Free Public Schools ?"
O.1T.-"WelJ, we pay to all 1st Grade

oftwenty FIVE pupils up to forty. After
that we allow the teacher an assistant if
the attendance gets above forty"

O.T.-"Oh, we'll, all of the Trustees do

TEACHER.
Now, sir, would you call Mr.. -
school Free Public School, and how do
you account for this credit he has given
me ?"
o. O.T.-aWell, they all do it that way"
Y. T.-"But, sir, I insist on your an.
swering my first question. Is thata Free
Public School according to the School
Laws7"
o. T.-aWell, they all do it that way"
T.-"Were you not required to take
an oath for the faithful discharge Of your
duties according to Law, when you
accepted your Trusteeship?" ?"
o. T.-"Don't know, never took any
oath that I remember Of. Didn't think
it worth while to bother with it."
Y.T.-"Well, sir, we young Trustees
have each one of us taken such an oath,
to carry out the laws, and that is Why 1
am SO anxious to know all about the
business. Now, sir, while we are togeth.
er will you kindly go over some parts Of
your record, and explain some Of its items
to me. First, I see here you have given
q summary of a whole years work, and
as an example of them all I will take
these two items, viz:
Paid to to-.....................S150 00-W.
Paid to - ..................s112 50-C.
Now, sir, I find on referring to the
records farther back that both teachers
have the same grade certificate from the
County Board of Examiners, and that
the one getting the least pay taught
almost double the number of pupils as
the one receiving the larger amount"
O.T.-"Well, we made contract with
him to teach for that sum-"
Y. T.-"Did you allow him to demand
and collect ffof his patrons an additional
salary
o. TT don't know if he did or not,
for it was colored school, and don't
suppose they would pay him if he did
charge"
Y. Nov, sir, you have given me
the best clue to the real cause Of our
white schools being so small. A colored
man does not care snap for dues and
accounts, but does care for his children
being educated. a poor white man
because of these bills prefers his children
to grow up in ignorance rather than have
it said by his neighbors that he is not
good for his debts"
o. TT suppose then that that you
think the school teachers have no right
to send in these bills you speak of. On
what ground 2"
Y. Ton the. ground that if the
teacher accepts any part of the Free
Public School Fund he has no right to
charge anybody dime while doing so,
and he cannot, under the Law, collect a
dime of tuition from a patron while be
does, for was not that fund especially
appropriated for Free Public SCHOOL,"
o. T.-"Well, why don't you require
the school teachers to teach for that fund,
and not charge anybody ?"
Y. Tive did try that game: The
teacher refused and appealed to the
County Board of Examiners."
Q. T.-"Well, what did they say about
it?"
Y. T.-"They sat down on US most
emphatically. Two of them are teachers
and they said we all do it that way"
Now, brother Trustees of Anderson
County, look into the frnn, part If vcnr
record book and see the oath you nave
sworn; then take your copy of the
School Laws and study it carefully and
answer me, one at a time; Can you,
according to the Law, do it that way
Respectfully,
YOUNG TRUSTEE.

She RIsked Her Life.

MUNFoRDvILLE, Ky, March John
Christy, wealthy farmer residing
mile north of here, near the banks of
Green River, has pretty eighteen.year.
old daughter, Luella. Sanford Geer, a
young tiller of the soil dwelling near by,
but on the other side of the stream,
loved Luella, and she loved him. Old
man Christy was opposed to the match.
He said that Greer was not able to take
care Of wife, and so his negative was
emphatic.
Sanford and Luella arranged to elope,
and yesterday was set as the day tor
making the venture. Luella is strong
armed Kentucky girl, and she can row q
boat as we'll as man can. Sanford did
not dare venture on. Mr.. Christy's side Of

Night before last, owing to the heavy
rains, the river rose rapidly. and became
such torrent that it was dangerous for a
boat pulled by single person. Young
Greer was unable to get word across for
his sweetheart not to venture, and the
girl, not daunted by the danger, started
out to keep the appointment. Before her
boat was one-third the way across her
lover appeared on the opposite bank with
two horses, while her father, with a pistol,
reached the one she had just left. He
had missed his daughter, and suspecting
that she intended to elope, followed her
swearing that he would kill young Greer
When he saw the girl on the water be
shouted for her to come back or she
would be drowned, but she padded boldly
on for the opposite shore, the force Of the
current sending her in 8 diagonal direc
tion.
The angry father was powerless. HI
had no other boat, and he could do moth
ing but watch his daughter either lose he
life or reach the man she loved. Butth
girl pulled strong aud firm hand, and
although her boat several times cam
near being overturned by the rushing
current, she reached the bank where he
lover was waiting. Then they mounted
the horses, came to this town, OF
