The Sleepless Eye of j ustice

Many stories are told at the expense of
the well known German ex-magistrate with
the glass eye. One day while trying a
case with a Jury he fell asleep, but as the
glass eye was open the lawyers and those
interested in the case knew it not, nor that
their testimony was all for naught. They
only discovered that the genial ]. D. was
sound asleep when one of the lawyers
arose and asked for the decision of the
court, and not receiving an answer de-
manded of the constable what was the
matter The constable then hastily'awoke
the sleepy squire and formally stated to the
assemblage that the eye which had been
open was glass. The case had to be tried
again from the start, as the magistrate
hadn't heard a word of the testimony.

ted for land. The little boat not having
sufficient capacity for all, three or fou
negroes were made to Jump into the wa
ter and carry the remainder out on their
backs. When | came ashore found the
little band standing together in the dark
ness on the beach, evidently in profound
consultation. As we came up it was an
nou3ced that all were present, II nomi-
nate Capt. Semmes, son of our illustrious
Admiral, as commander in chief OF this
"forlorn hope" There being no other
nomination he was elected by acclama-
ton. Then a voice nominating Capt.
Holmes Of the Louisi an az Crescent regiment
as his second in command. Then with
uplifted hands we swore before high heav-
en- to obey the commands of our officers
until we reached Dixie Land. Many of
US had no knowledge of these men what
ever, and had voted for them and sworn
to obey them on the recommendation OF
those who seemed to know them. All
that we knew of our whereabouts was that
we were on the coast of Virginia, south of
Cape Henry. A light could be seen in
the distance, evidently coming through
the window of some human habitation.
A committee was appointed to interview
the dweller in that house. On inquiry.
they found the house occupied by wo-
man and her children. In answer to
questions she said her husband was in the
army. The reply was not satisfactory,
for there were two armies. The woman
seemed alarmed and the committee was
cautious, but it finally came out that the
husband was in the southern army. and
the woman knew that ninety-four confed
crate officers who had just escaped from
prison were in a strange country and did
not know what to do next. All alarm
and caution fed from the woman's face
when ST heard this She said we would
be safe if we could reach Dismal Swamp
that there was a company of guerillas in
the Swamp, who would put us through
the lines if we could but get to them
"But" said she, "Currituck Sound is be-
tween you and the Swamp, and there i
not boat nearer than thirty miles. Their,
are boats at the salt works, thirty miles
down the coast. If you can get there be
fore day and surprise their camp yon can
take their boats and cross the Sound be
fore the caravan can overtake you" An
other question was where can we get
wagon?" We had several days rations
and all the men a little bundle of clothes
transportation for these wonld lighter
the march and enable us to make il
quicker. Her reply was, al haye a car
and horse, take that and will risk my
chances for getting it back before tn

fuckers Lecture.

EDITORS BULLETIN:-R. w. Tuck
er, lecturer for the State Farmers
and Labors Union, in his speech
Tuesday among other things, said:
That the interest of all farmers was
the same, and there was no conflict
of interest among them and that
there should be no conflict between
them and all other legitimate call
ings. Our objects are to wolk to-
gether to benefit ourselves, morally,
socially, intellectually, and our
methods are defensiye and not Of
fensive. These purposes and prin-
cipes stand ungainsl aged. The OIL
lY argument the opposition prete nds
tc make Is that the Union will go
into politics and ruin the country.
He said the bankers and Others had
been organized for upwards of thir-
ty years. All their demands had
been met by class legislation and
was referred to only as matter of
| business. But when the farmers or
ganlzed for defense aud talked about
the burdens and sufferiDgs that was
brought about by class Legislation,
we hear some cry out "the Union is
going into politics and the country
IS going to be ruined" One is BUSH
ness because 1T Is the other fellows,
the other politics because it is the
farmers. He spoke very lengthy OF
the purposes and accomplishments
of the Wheel, Alliance and Union
AMI said the growth from seven
members IN 1882 to oyer three mill
lions in 1890 was sufficient proof that
this organization, was destined to
carry to victory the purposes for
which it was organized.
The supply and demand has no
control over the price of products.
In 1867 the ceriel crop of the United
States was one and one-fourth billion
dollars. In 1887 Of the same crop we
had over three billion bushels and
the value was only one and one
fourth billion dollars, In 1867 we
produced two million bales of cot
ton and was worth two hundred
and eighty million; in 1887 we rails
ed seven milton bales and was on
iy worth 270 million dollars, ten
million less than in 1867, and yet
we produced five millions more bales
than in 1867. The 1st of Nov. 1883,
the amount of wheat on market was
reported to be on hand 100000
600 bushels and was selling Sl,l4
per bushel. Nov. LIST 1889 there
was only 300,000,000 bushels on
market and wheat was only worth
70 cents per bushel. There was
planted 1889 over four million acres
more of corn, wheat and oats and
$50 million bushels more raised yet
the total crop was worth 147 mill
ions dollars less.
The effect of class Legislation has
caused the farmers to have plaster
tered upon them a mortgage of over
six billion dollars All the farms IN
the United States are valued at II
billion dollars and at two per cent
interest on the principle, (the
amount the farmer realizes) amounts
to 240 million dollars. While he
pays in interest at eight per cent on
eight million dollars mortgages is
$50 million dollars and only make
two per cent or 240 million dollars

ges. This is day of universal or.

Work for Farmers Done at The Ag-
ricultural Station of the Uni
VersitY of Tennessee.

The annual Report of the exper
iment Station of the University of
Tennessee for 1889 has just been
submitted to the Governor. THIS
Station is a department OF the Uni
versity and is supported by con-
gressionaI appropriation. 1t was
first orgauized 10y the University in
1882, but it did not receive suffi-
cicnt support until 1887. THIS is,
therefore its second years work,
since funds were provided. Fne
Station has, besides an executive
office, four divisions, as follows.
LIST. For field and feeding ex-
periments. 2nd. Chemistry. 3rd.
Botany and Horticulture, 4th. Eto-
mologv.
Much valuable and interesting
work hos been done during the
year. The first division has made
tests of varieties of potatoes, straw
berries, barley, oats, wheat. anc
sorghum; has tested the various
methods Of cultivating, keeping anc
fertilizlng IRISH potatoes; the meth
DDS of cultivating and mulching
wheat, and fertilizers for clover
oats and Hungarian grass. The
effects for feeding bran for beef, as
compared with cotton seed meal, ii
connection with hay and clover, hai
been tested. The relative value o
skim milk feed and corn meal anC
water for young pigs has also beer
tested. Many iml rovements have
been made at the farm. A dairl
building, root cellar, tool house anC
plsgery have been erected:
The Chemical Division he's ana
lived the fertilizers used in the state
a large number of fodder stufs, and
twenty varieties of strawberries. L
has also studied the business o
feeding cotton seed hulls and mea
together to live stock. THIS was
found to be very profitable. Tween
ty>fve pounds of hulIs and FIVE t.
eight pounds of meal daily, with ;
proper amount of water and sal
make a complete ration for beef an
finals. In this way the cotton far
mer can make his own beef and but
ter. The manure was found I'm
commonly rich.
The botanist of the Station ha
published a most valuable pape
On the rot of the Irish pDtato. H'
is studying the grasses and forage
plants of Tennessee also with vieV
of preparing a handbook on thi
subject. A paper has already beel
published upon the grasses of th'
mountain meadows. Some valua
bic work was done during the yea
upon the di seases of the grape, an,
a bulletin will be published on thi
subject at an early day.
The Division OF Etomology ha
studied the amount of injury done
and the distribution of the Hessiai
fy in Tennessee, aud is also inves
tigatine the insects injurious to tn,
cabbage, plum, and peach, and ma
king experiments in fighting thes'
insects with poisons, etc.
The results are published as fas
as completed in the quarterly bull
Ietins, special bulletins, and supple
msnts issued by the Station. These
are sent TO all farmers, free q
charge, upon application.

How Farmers are Taxed.

1t is not uncommon to hear our
farmers complain of the taxes they
have to pay. Sometimes they are
too high and the payment of them
could be largely lessened by Increas-
ing the productive power of an
acre of ground. For instance: a
farmer whc sows poor seed. raises
scrub stock, oil buys Anticipated or
imperfect implements, must certain
ly paw proportionately high taxes.
Not to mention the improvement
he might make by getting the best
seed and live stock, he could buy a
DeerIng Binder or Mower, a nd save
money in the harvesting of his grain
and grass crops.
