Barber county is no exception and

NINE TENTHs OF the mali matter
received at the post Office in Eola, a
town in Avoyelles Parish, La. goes TO
white people, and the Office has. been
held by ID. b. Hudson, large planter
and man of affairs, who has represented
his parish in the Legislature aud who
accepted the place rather for the ac-
commodalion OF his neighbors than for
his own advantage. Suddenly Mr..
Hudson is removed, and the office is
handed over to negro woman. The
people of the town are indignant, as
the people of any northern town would
be under similar circumstances. Some
idea of how strong would be the indig-
nation at such performance in this
part of the country is afforded by the
recent election in Topeka, the capital
of a state with $4,000 republican ma
jorlty, when al excellent candidate tor
the Office of county clerk was scratched
by seven out of eight white republicans
simply because he was colored, and
they did not want any official relations
with a "nigger." 1t is difficult 10
understand the theory upon which q
"practical politician like Assistant
Postmaster General Clarkson makes
such appointments as this at Eola, the
inevitable effect of which must be still
further to prejudice the whites against
the republican party. Has he conclu-
ded that the south is solid past all hope
OF breaking, and resolved to punish the
people by making the most objection.

A CONSIGNMENT of Iceland sheep
arrived in Liverpool the other day, and
much curiosity was awakened by their
appearance. They numbered 800, and
were remarkable for the extraordinary
length of their silken hair. Many were
of the purest jet black, while others
were piebald. The animals look as if
they were a cross-breed between the
goat and ordinary sheep.

SECRETARY NOBLE, of the interior
department, says in his annual report {:
81 do not hesitate to assume the re-
sponsibility of recommending an in
crease in the appropriation for pensions
so that liberal and legal payment
may be made to all the deserving pen
sioners of the republic. This sum will
reach S97, ,2l0,252." He advises the
granting of pension to every honor
ably discharged soldier or sailor who
has TO work tor his living, and sis now
or may hereafter be, disabled from pro.
curing his subsistence by such labor"
The secretary excuses his arguments in
behalf of the deserving veteran on the
ground that "any omission of the sub
ject on my part might be misunder-
stood and miscOnstrued. The secre.
tary explains the granting of pension
to d dishonOrably discharged soldier
which has been widely criticised, as
being in accordance with existing law
and he says:-"This is the state of the
law unquestionably, and must be con.
formed to until congress shall in its
wisdom otherwise direct" But the
secretary thinks the pension roll surel,
should be one where no deserter of hil
country's flag, nor any man who wa.
dishOnorably discharged from the army
should appear. As to the deserter, NJ
argument is required. And as TO th,
secretary's views on pensions generall,
we have only to read the Who'll,
columns of new pensions added to tn,
roll every day to understand that
money can buy and debauch the ex
union soldier, or even the alleged ex
union soldier, that it will be poured
ont like water as a libation to the lif
OF the republican party. Ninety sever
million dollars year! just think of it
"We may reasonably act that tn
expenditures Tor p. .uns will here
after steadily dec case, unless Ou
legislation should he unwarrantabl,
extravagant," said James A. Garfield
in 1872. In 1873 the expenditures 70

BUSSEY AT BALTIMORE.
Sensational Address at the Decoration
Day Exercises.


Day Exercises.
BALTIMORE, Nd, June 1.-Generai Cyrus
Bussey, First Assistant Secretary of the
Interior Department, created a sensation
Thursday night by a reference to the
South in his speech at Ford's Opera House
where memorial exercises were held by
tn, G. A. K He said it was proper for
ex-C,nfederates to honor the memory of
their dead comrades in arms, but when
they boosted of tn righteousness of the
Lost Cause it was quite another thing.
Their cause was not right; it was a crime,
and they should not teach the coming
generation in the South that the Lost
Cause was just one. He objected
to the inscription on the Confederate
monument unvailed at Alexandria the
other day which represented that men
slept there who died in the consciousness
of the righteousness and justice of the
Confederate side. He asserted that there
were thousands of men who were at heart
loyal to the Union. but were forced into
a service with which they had no sym.
pathy.
The North. he said. reconstructed the
South in a political sense at the close Of
the war; and at the present time the
South was again going to be reconstructed
under the guidance of Northern men-thi
time in its industrial development Blu
he concluded, the South will only hav.
been thoroughly reconstructed when the
people of that section accord to the negro
his right of suffrage; allow him to de.
pos st his ballot and have it counted.

Notes..

Melons will grow rapidly now, and wood
ashes are excellent for them. Scatter the
ashes on the surface of the ground, not
too close to the hills, and thin out the
plants so as to leave only two on the hill.
Do not grow melons and pumpkins near
each other, as they will hybridize
Cow peas may be grown between the
hills of corn, as the same cultivation for
the one crop is suitable for the other.
One advantage with good windows in
the poultry house is that good ventilation
can be given without the necessity of
leaving the doors open. In many cases
wire cloth screens could be used to good
advantage.
Any plant is a weed that is not desired
Two plants of the same kind shou Id never

weeds.

FARM NOTES.

A fowl should Away be killed a few
hours before it is prepared for cooking.
Millet and Hungarian grass seed can be
put in now. If preferred the seed may be
drilled in, but it is usual to broadcast the
seed in order to have the plants come up
as close together as possible and crowd
out the weeds.
Make the hills of your lima beans very
rich. Fine compost is the best material,
but manure is also excellent The point is
to use plenty of it, as the pods will fill out
very slowly il there is . deficiency Of
available plant food in the soil.
Beets, carrots and parsnips must be we'll

will hasten the growth of grass and weeds
| to such an extent as to crowd out the young
plants if the ground is not clean. They
should be cultivated after each rain.
Give the early sweet corn a thorough
hoeing as soon as it is high enough. The

In sowing a crop to be turned under to
