The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1891-12-17

President Harrison sent his annual
issmessage to Congress last week. It is a
very lengthy paper, containing nearly
5000 words, and it is not an especially
& valuable prod duction. We fiId some in
n 4sresting statements in it, one of which
thatthe money in circulation on Dec.
E 1881, wss s24.3S per capita, while on
March. 1889, 1t was S23.03 per capita.
Thesmessage states that on June 80, 1891,
3 there were SIG, ,160 pensioners on the
rolls and for the fiscal year of 1S90-91
:oyer S118, ,5S0, 900 was paid to these PEN
Z sioners. That means that there are more
pensioners on the roll, after lapse of
more than quarter Of a century since
the war, Tran there were Confederate
soldiers to make pensioners out of these
people. Itmeans that if that enormous
sum OF money was: distributed among
the peopiesof South Carolina every man,
Z woman and child would receive nearly
300. It means that every man, woman
and child in the United States would
E:hayesto pay nearly two dollars each to
I raise a sum sufficient to pay off the pen
bsspers for one year. The message states
that on November / the market price Of
ssilyerw 96 cents an ounce, which means
that the bullion value of the silver dollar
was only III cents at that time, and that
to make the bullion value of the silver
lar 100 cents the price of an ounce of
NSi1ver must be 's1.029e. The President
thinks the law of July IA, 1890, requiring
AstIie monthly coinage of 100000 silver
: ers has proven disastrous policy.
Acomnlends free postal delivery in
les having a. population Of 5000
pie and over. The message contains
Eeh valuable information, but the Pres
ntiseems never to have thought that
5 was writing message to the Republi-
;sHan party instead of to the whole Amer
lean people,

Justice Pope's home paper, the New
berry observer, is responsible for the
following paragraph: "some strange
things happen. The man elected Asso-
Sciate Justice by the farmer legislature,
sand urged for. the place by the farmer
sgoyerncr, is the Same man who at State
bar ociation few years ago recon-
smended the passage OF a law making
ses6ryb boaysinaligi ble to the Office of Pro-
ahate Jpd pdgs.except members of the Bar"
The Observer should remember that the
past at.erances and records of men is
Yery lightly considered by the powers
That be. The election of the author of the
above recomm endation {class legislation)
to an Associate Justiceship is not SO
ssEange as the defeat Of Hampton and
Wallace, whose public speeches and re-
cords might be searched in vain for an
lndisereet word o., q foolish blunder.

Culture for Corn.

Corn roots do not run deeply ana
cannot be made to by any way OF
cultiyating. The plant loves the
warmth, and so the whole tendency
of cultivating is to keep as near the
surface as possible and to destroy the
weeds. The old-fashioned practice OF
running a common plow, turning
furrow from the middle of the rows,
was Injurious in two ways. 10 lett
the centre of the rows bare. and piled
dirt against the stalks. rotting the
brace roots on which il depended
for support against the wind. Even
if only two or three inches OF earth
are throw against the stalks 1t Is IN
furious. 1t is more in proportion
TO the size of the plant than the two
or three feet of earth piled around
the foot of a large fruit tree, which
almost invariably kills them. Be
sides. the fruit tree roots are often
| found three or four feet below the
surface. showing that il is not the
depth of the earth that kills the tree,
but it's inability to suddenly adapt
itself to new conditions. 1t Is certain
that corn which makes intire growth
including ripening in a hundred days
or a little more, cannot adapt itsel
to new customs so readily ms can
trees that have remained in the same
position several years. Hence, u
cultivating corn, especially after MD
summer, scratch the surface rather
than dig deeply, and leave thesuriac.,
as nearly level as posslble.-Amerl

THE MILKING.


|
The milk pail used to versify mild and mel
low meter
When | used to milk old Brindle in the
yard
And the shining milk was sWeeter unto me
and little Peter
Than oriental perfumes of myrrh, franklin
cense and nard.
The sunset flung its banners from the gilded
hills about us,
And the odors of the evening seemed to
drop from every bough,
There was peace and glad contentment both
within us and without us,
At the sweet mellifiuous milking of the COW.
And wondering like memory, from the silent
past's abysm
l smell the grateful odors of the fragrant
evening breeze,
And | bend to catch the chrism of the twi-
lights glad baptism,
And the outstretched benedicton of the
trees.
The gloy of the summer night, the magic of
the mountains,
And the tinkings of the twilight the
farm are with me noy--
But through all the mingitng music still |
hear those falling fountains.
The sweet melIifiuous milking of the cow
Still hear the joyful rhythm of that Until
lating tinkle,
And / smell the grateful odors of the placid
perfumed night,
Odors brown from glens a-sprinkle with Wild
rose and periwinkle,
And from the lakes where lazy lilies loll in
languor for the light
Through the valley of the long years that is
glimmering behind me,
peer down through the vista that connects
the then and now,
With youths audacious unconcern a care
less boy, find me
At the sweet melifiuous milking of the COW.

An Interesting Law Case,

A case which has attracted con-
siderable attention lately is that OF
Mrs. Clarietta Johnson, who was
convicted of perjury on April II last
before Judge Nelson of Boston, Gen.
B. f. Butler defending her. Thecase
has a local interest, too, for the
woman was Newbury, Vt, girl, the
daughter of C.. H. Ring. In the
spring of 1856 Mr.. Ring was living
with his second wife, Clarietta was
q daughter by his first wife, and did
not get along well with her step
mother. S. C.. Stevens worked for
Ring that summer, and the result
was marriage between him and the
girl. the ceremony being performed
by Rev. II. n. Burton, at that time
pastor of the Congregational church
at Ncwbury, on Sept. 10, as they
were on their way to st. Johnsbury
to a cattle fair. Stevens was % and
the girl IA years of age. She lived
with him in extreme poverty, first AT
Newbury, afterwards at Bradford
East Waterford and Brainard. Stew
ems enlisted and went to war. When
he came home a separation was ami
cably settled. She went to Nashua
n. H, where she married a man by
the name of Z. G. johnson in 1868
In 1882 she left him on account o
his Incorporate habits. and he sooI
after died. In 1885 she applied for
pensiona as his widow, taking oath sh'
had never been married before. Ii

for perjury and tried as above stated

Floating Chinese Houses,

A letter from Annoy in the Balti-
more American says of Chinese water
craft, except steamers: Each is
floating home or village. The small
er ones have one family on board;
the large, two, three and up to ten.
On these unwieldy craft the boatmen
are born, grow up, marry, have fam
lies and die. The women are as
good sailors as the men; in Hong
Kong the commanders of most
boats are women. The children are
expert mariners of six or seven years
ofage. These boatmen are N hardy, IN
telligent and prolific race. There are
said to be 5000, 900 of them in Chi
ma. They all prosper financially, and
many of them are quite wealthy from
a Mongolian standpoint, owning
boats on the water and stores ano
houses on the land. When they be
come pirates they are the most dan
rerous and bloodthirsty eXtant, nev
er giving nor asking quarter undel
any circumstances"

NEWSPAPER LAWS.

L. Any person who takes paper regular
" from the ofice-whether directed to his
name or another's, or whether he has sub
s;ribed or not-is responsible for the pay
ment.
2 If a person orders his paper discontin-
ned, he must pay all arrearages, or the pub
Usher may continue to send it until payment
is made, and collect the whole amount, wheth-
er the paper is taken from the Office or not.
3. The Courts have decided that refusing
to take newspapers and periodicals from the
postoftice, or removing and leaving them un-
called for, is prina facie evidence of fraud.

Bananas as Food and Medicine.

DR.. John Dougall, of st. Mungo's
college, Glasgow, has a letter in
recent issue of the Glasgow Herald
on the banana. He quotes from
Stanley's "In Darkest Africa, show
ing that 'for infants, persons of
delicate digestion, dyspeptics, and
those suffering from temporary de-
rangements of the stomach, the -four
properly prepared, would be of uni
versal demand" During Stanley's
two attacks of gastritis a slight
cruel of this flour, mixed with milk,
was the only material that could
be digested. 1t is oud, as pointed
out in Stanley's book, that in
most banana lands-Cuba, Brazil,
/ West Indies-thc valuable properties
| of the banana as an easily digested
and nourishing food have been mucl
overlooked. DR.. Dougall has mad'
some experiments in making banana
! flour. He concludes that il should
be made from the ripe fruit at it,
place of production. In trying &c
make it from bananas purchased in
Glasgow, he obtained on drying
the pulp a tough sweet mass like
toasted figs, an appearance probably
due to the conversion of starch
| into sugar. Bananas contain only
about so per cent of pulp, and ofthis
about 75 per cent is water. They
would yield, therefore, only one
eighth part of flour.
