William l.. Wilson some years ago

presided oyerthe University OF West
Virginia he was popular with both
the Faculty and the scholars lie
is not yet forty-tiive; is slender,
understood 0ndncryous. His intel
lcctual activity and congeniality
have made himapowcr m Congress,
whore he has hcel for eight years.
Mr.. Wilson has developed HUI
morous vein since he started his
Congressional career. and only last
week had n combat with Speaker
Reed who is nothing IL not a great
wit which left the MMno states
man ut great disadvantage. He
is staying at the Fifth Avenue now.
Mr.. Wilson lives in one of the in
est districts in the "Mouutain
State, and, to use Western
phrase. he rather banks on his
lineage, Despite this penchant, he
is very strong man among his
constituents. Though elected by a
very small majority, his Republican
opponent never thought of contest
ing his seat. No better tribute
could be paid to his integrity.

If there is anything that Tennes-
see needs more than a betterment
in her public roads / do not know
what it is. Our roads would be a
disgrace to Texas, Mexico, the In
dian Territory, or any other coun-
try.
1t is not our intention to abuse
the laws we have, or the manner In
which they are executed. This
would not remedy evil or give us
better roads, and better roads is
what we want and must have, if our
section of the country is ever what
it can and ought to be. To get
this we need to arouse public in
terest upon the subject, an interest
that will work a revolution, and we
must have Legislation of the wise
sort before this desired end can be
attained. We have no system or
bill formulated, but we hope that
the people Will take the matter in
hand and have some system ma
tured by the time our solons meet
again, and use their influence to
have it enacted.
We will state a few reasons why
this enterprise should be pushed
vigorously, until system of good
roads is secured to our country

Some Sensible Advice.

Nashville Americana
Major Vanderford, of the office
of the Commissionerof Agriculture,
yesterday afternoon remarked that
the outlook for a good corn crop
this year is rather poor at the pres
ent time. He said: "This year is
very much like the years of 1883
and 1884 and also like the year
1874. The years are distinguished
for the fact that they had an unus-
ually large rainfall in the spring,
and We're very hot and dry in the
summer, This year so far resem-
bles them. There was a heavy
rainfall in the spring and June
falls considerably short of its aver
age. During the years mentioned
the corn was light all over the State
and in many parts was almost q
complete failure. Places having
good crops had them by reason oi
local showers. This statement is
not made so much as a prediction
as it is for the benefit of the farm,
ers that they may guard themselves
as much as possible by right cult
vation against the dryness of The

bic roads Of this country, The de-
struction of wagons the wear and
wreck of harness, and death te
stock is not all by any means but
these bad roads cost the cOantTy
the lives of many valuable rlti2ens
Hundredsof good people have been
killed in this country in the nNmer-
Gus and very frequent accidents
occurring all over the country asa
result of bad roads.
It would pay to build good roads
from a strictly financial cOMsidera-
tion, and il done by taxation w0uh
be a good investment Cor the citS~
zens OF the country IN an increased
value of the real estate of tire t,olnn-
try. The increase in the value OF
the property and real estate wolld
amount to very much more than
the cost of the roads.
Good roads are fine moralizers
and civihzes in a country. Thou
sands of people are kept away from
our churches every Sunday on ac-
count Of the condition of the roads,
and many who do attend church
forget their professions, or hose
their religion in the irritation and
vexation caused by the bad roads
they had to travel over. The bad
roads of this country have been
the direct cause of more profanity

overcome by right methods of cul-
tivation. In such seasons it will
not do TO lay-by the corn crop so
early. The surface of the ground
should be stirred. 1t must not be
piowed to any depth SO as TO reach
and dry out OF cut the roots, but
let the surface be stirred lightly.
The reason that the surface should
be stirred is this, a finely comminu-
ted surface absorbs and holds the
moisture or dew deposited on it at
night. The hotter the air the more
moisture 1t contains. Now the
plowed or stirred surface does not
retain its heat SO long at night as
does the baked, smooth surface of
soil, and, parting with its heat
sooner, it becomes cooler than the
surrounding air quicker than the
unstirred land does, and conse-
quently has a longer tame during
the nightin which to absorb moist
ure. Not only this, but the finely
comminuted ground actually pre-
sents more surface than thesmooth,
baked soil, and therefore takes up
more of the water deposited al
night. The dew falling on a hard
dry surface, falls as it does on q
rock, is Immediately absorbed and
is used cooling that surface OFF
The stirred surface has already be
come cool, and the dew falling OF
it is absorbed and sinks In it to as

isnomere theorizing. Itisfoundet
on reason, as any one can see. No
only that, bat it has been put to
practical test by many others be
side myself. l tried it on my owl
place in 1883, and had about tn
only crop of corn that was Of an,

that l stirred my ground light
