THE libel smt Of $4,000 brought by
Attorney Albert Knettles, Of Minneapo-
lis, MINI. against the Pioneer Press
was thrown out Of court by Judge Hicks
in favor Of the newspaper The point
in question was whether a newspaper
had the right 10 publish a statement or
a question when that statement was
libelous in itself even though the pub
location Of it was accompanied by no
malice. Judge Hicks decided that It had
such right and that the fact Of the mat
ter being privileged exempted the news
paper from it. and the paper could not
be compelled to rest its case on the truth
Of the privileged publication.

Woodburn and Riyioli.

DEAR COURIER In company with that
expert stockman, A. G. Mcrricl, visited
these two of Pendlcton's now famous
stock farms. Tho courtesy of Mr. b.
Harris, manager of Wooiburn, and of
Mr.. O. A. Bowen, the owner of Rivioli,
in conveying us to and from tho depot
and showing us their farms and stock,
and of Mrs. Bowen in entertaining and
providing us with delicious dinner,
were reminders Of the charming !iospi-
tality. of tho oldcn time.
Woodburn was q "run down" creek
farm, much of tho bottoms washed or
covered with sand and tho virgin soil
washed from the uplantls. 1t is now so
renovated that twenty acres of the latter
in Bermuda grass pasturcd forty sheep
and twenty-five horses during the sum-
mcr, and most of the remainder is set in
nicely growing red clover. Thirty acres
of the bottom is set in Bermuda grass
and vctch and pasturcd thirty horses
until tho 18th of this month. This com
bination furnishes q pasture about eleven
months in the year. Tho vctch is an
a month, from about the middle of May
to tho middle of June to rcseed itself.
Mr.. Harris intends to save and will sell q
considerable amount of seed. He has the
native vctch, which learn from agricul-
turists, in different parts of the State, is
much better than the English variety, to
be had by ordering from tho city seed

grass. Nothing is burned The stumps
and litter are thrown into gullics and
places absolutely washed away, with the
view of ultimate recovery. A deep bodied
cart to haul leaves was one of tho appcn-
dagcs of this model farm. Tho commo-
dious barns shelter sixty horses, large
herd of Jersey cattle, and about forty
grade Southdown sheep. Here one may
buy thoroughbred Jersey bulls, four
year old, at $50; q two year old at $40,
and bull calf at $25.
But horses are tho speciality of this
farm--Pcrcherons and ITamblctonians-
headed respectively by the fine stations

A Muniflcent Gift to the Baptists.

CnIcAao, January 19.-It was an
nounced this evening that Mr.. Mar
shall Field has supplied site for
the proposed new Baptist University
by donating ten acres of land valued
at 100000. Mr.. Fields gift fills
the last of the requirements of the
originator of the university project,
j. r. Rockefeller, the oil king. Mr..
Rockefeller gave $6OO,OOO to found
the university on condition that
100000 more should be raised, and
that none of the total of s1,OOO,OOO
should be used for the purpose of a
site. The value of Mr.. Fields lands,
together with the money already
raised, more than complete the mil
lion. 1t is intended, however, to
consider it no part of that sum-
but to complete the round amount
regardless Of the Field donation.

It is required by law.
1t will secure a pro rata distribu-
ton of the constitutional two mills
tax.
1t will retain the poll tax for the
benefit of the school, the patrons of
which pay it.
1t will secure the appointment of
three trustees in each district, who
will be taken from tho patrons of
the school in which they are imme-
diateiy interested.
1t will cause better and larger
school houses to be built.
1t will cause all balances to be
carried forward for the district in
which such balances accumulated.
It will prevent selfshness on the
part of any one who is disposed to
accommodate himself to the exclusion
of his neighbors.
1t will harmonize communities.
1t will prevent children from re-
ceiving public funds twice in the
same scholastic year.

Several bills have been introduced
in both Houses of the Mississippi
Legislature making sweeping provis-
ions against all trusts and combina-
tions formed to control production,
trade and transportation, regardless
of their effect upon the productive
Industries of the country. All such
combinations arc declared unlawful,
and all contracts, agreements or ar
rangements made with such combi-
nations arc declared null and void.
Any association with trusts is de-
clarcd a violation of law, and upon
conviction the parties found guilty
are liable to heavy fine and mprison-
mcnt. All corporations violating
the provisions are to forfeit their
charter, and it is made the duty of
the district attorney and attorney
general to prosecute of their own
accord, and the Circuit Court Judges
are instructed to make the subject a
special charge to the grand juries of
their respective counties.

The Old Wash Pots.
TIE QUAINT DEVICES FOR THE MANU-
FACTuRE OF wHIsKEY IN TIE
MOUNTAINS.

BLUE RIDGE, Ga, January 90
The officers for the last few days
have been playing havoc with stills
in this county. Last night they cut
up two stills, destroyed sixteen hun
dred gallons of beer, moro or less,
and found another place with all the
material and apparatus of the dis
tillery there, save two wash pots,
which had just been pulled out of
tho furnace and carried away. One
of the pots was an old lady's wash
pot, which had been stolen. When
the old lady got up this morning the
pot was setting OH the very spot
from where it was taken about a
month ago.
While the world is making such
strides in progress, and the advance
ment of literature, science and art,
the backwoods mountaincer has not
fallen behind in his avocation. He
has learned the art of making as fine
whiskey in wash pot rs can be
found anywhere; and if he can got
enough copper to bottom box, he
does not ask anything more to set
himself up in business, put up dis
tillery in side room of his dwelling
house; the whole apparatus consist
ing of his wife's wash pot for the
still, his half-bushcl measure for the
cap, and an old shotgun barrel for
the worm. But one Of his brethren
got mad with him because he refused
to credit him for pint of whiskcy,
and reported the parson. So on
Saturday when the venerable preach
er and his family had gone to church
the officers came, and, without mercy,
fell upon the old lady's wash pot
and left it scattered all over the
floor, and turned over the beer.
The subject of the preachers SER
mon that day was, "The Patience of
job" and he expatiatcd very warmly
upon the patience of Job, and
adjured his people to be rs patient as
Job in bearing the troubles, vcxa-
tions and Affections of this life and
never complain. When services
were over and they were all ready
to go home, one of the deacons, who
had brought his Jug along to get
him little whiskcy for Sunday, ac-
companicd the preacher home.
JOB NEVER HAD THIS AFFLICTION.
On arriving at home and seeing
what was done, the preacher was
very much irritated, and commenced
expressing himself in forciblc Ian.
guage. "But we must be as patient
as Job, and never complain" said
the deacon. GAS patient as Job !"
exclaimed the preacher. "I read no
where in the Bible whore a hcllish
set of revenue officers ever went to
Jobs house, while he was out warn.
ing sinners to repent, and broke up
his wife's wash pot and played the
devil in general, just because man
was attending to his own business.
Don't talk to me about patience. I
don't see anywhere in the Bible
where Job ever had to contend with
such informal rascals."
