A Washington special of the 18th
inst, states that the postofice
department had issued a warrant
for $1,000 to JEFF Davis Carter, of
MyrtlevilIe. Ala. Carter is the
man who captured the famous
bandit, Rube Burrows, at the risk
of his life. The reward would
have been paid some time ago, but
was hung up because some of
Carter's associates claimed a part
of it, and the department has de-
sired to give it to the right person
or divide it equally. Under the
United States statute reward of
$1,000 is provided for the arrest
and conviction of any person who
by force of arms robs the United
States mails in the keeping of a
railroad company. The proviso
of the law recites that the robber
must be tried and convicted In
this case, of course, there was no
conviction, as a matter of fact
Burrows having been killed; but
the department holds that there
was sufficient evidence to have
convicted the bandit had he been
tried; and taking this view of the
case, they have decided to pay
$1,000 to Carter, and warrant for
that amount was issued.

The biggest half OF the successful law
yers, bankers and professional merchants
of this country started life on farm, and
themselves or their fathers before them
we're sue ,essful tillers Of the coil. Being
successful and qualified as farmers they
were competent and qualified to succeed
in other walks Of life. Ergo, any intelli-
gent, industrious man who succeeds as u
farmer is qualified to be banker or a
merchant; any man who is failure as a
farmer cannot hope to succeed better in
any other calling or profession.

As an evangelist, Sam Jones has
gone 10 seed, and there are now
only few, except his humber adj
mirers, who laugh at his rough wit
or are thrilled by his sanity slang.
But, outside of prohibition, Sam
has generally carried level head
on political issues, and he is as con-
sentative in that respect as he is
wild and woody in his gospel cru
sades. A letter written by him on
the socialistic tendency of the times,
and published in an Atlanta paper
a few days ago, is patriotic protest
against such folly that stamps him
as conservative thinker and cour-
ageous leader, who is not afraid to
speak the truth and thus rebuke
noisy reformers who have rushed
in to oyerawe the world by their
cIamor. In the conrse of his letter
he says:
do NOT impugn the motives or in
tegrity Of any man or Get OF men, but the
best men, with the best motives, can do
much harm in honestly trying 10 do much
good. I am sure this IL true OF this IN
ceasing warfare on railroads and corpor-
ations generally. ] enjoy rabbit hunt,
but when there is danger Of running the
last rabbit out Of the country, and when
We have fifty dogs to each rabbit prefer
to 90 dog hunting awhile This cry
about monopoliee, trusts, etc.,is popular,
but silly. The Standard Oil Company,
the gigantic railway corporations, tt .
sugar trust, give to the world the cheap
est oil, the. greatest comfort to weary
travellers aud the cheapest sugar TIE
world ever saw. The Vanderbilt ard
Pennsylvania railroad combine or net
work of railroads, stretching almost over
half the United States, give the best
equipped lines, the fastest trains, tho
most reasonable rates Ut any railroads in
the world. What the South needs 10 not
the dismemberment of railroads and the
bankruptcy of her corporations. but such
friendly consideration and wise legisla-
tion a. will conserve their intereat ard
develop their resources until the South
ern States shall have as magnificent rail-
roads Is New York. Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Illinois.
Now the above is the honest and
palpable truth. Consolidation CT
capital has almost without excep-
ton cheapened the cost to con-
sumers and improved the quality
of goods or service. The low price
of everything that enters into daily
consumption among men is the
marvelo the age, and there is steady
Improvement Our so-called mo-
nopolies are the outgrowth of close
competition, and the fittest has sur
vlved. Labor has been lightened,
wages increased, the comforts of
life multiplied, and the cost of liv-
ing reduced by the complex system
of our modern civilization. The
world is to day better fed, better
clothed, better housed, bstter edu-
Gated, happier AMI wiser, and should
be more content than it ever was
in its history, and it would be 90 Il
it was not for the noisy nonsense
of designing demagogues and their
silly dupes.

r. ENDEvILLE,

We have just had another Of those
mild winters which is a characteristic
of Stevens Co. We had an unusual
amount of warm, pleasant weather IN
December and January, but with Feb
ruary there came Il change. 1t was
colder, yet not as cold as some winters
that we have had in the past ten
years; cloudy and stormy, yet not
any severe storms.
We have not had genuine blizzard
the past winter; we had two snow
storms that people called young biz
yards. There has been an unusual
amount of cloudy weather since the
first of February. There were not
two consecutive days of fair weather
during the months of February and
March, except the last week of March
when we had three days of compar-
atively fair weather. The barometer
has indicated storm or unsettled
weather since the fist of Feb.
The snow and ram that we have
had the past few days makes farmers
very hopeful. 1t is said that the
prospect for a good crop is better
now than it has been any time for
the last two years.
A gale of wind passed over this
town about sunset on Sunday, which
did small amount of damage to a
number of farmers. One wagon was
moved about fifty rods, passing
through a wire fence in it's course. a
number of hay stacks were badly de.
molished and chimneys blown down.
S. B. Smith had built shed to keep
his bees in through the summer, and
had removed the bees from the cellar
to the shed few days before the
gale. Shed and bees were blown over
badly demolishing both; but Mr.. S
thinks it will not be total loss of the
bees.

At the Universal Exposition of 1889 Ct

the world, including those of America, vert
in competition. They were passed upon by :
jury composed of the best foreign mechsn-
ical experts, two of whom were the leading
sewing machine manufacturers of France.
This jury, after exhaustive examinations
and tests, adjudged that the Wheeler &
Wilson machines were the best of all, anu
awarded that company the highest prizo OF
fered, the GRAND PRIZE, giving other
companies only gold, silver and bronze
medals.
