Bennett Hills Presidential pros
poets have been subjected to a mos,
trying ordeal during the last few
weeks. Many people who have
confidently predicted his nomination
say now that the odds are decide III v
against him. For the first time in
MS . political career many of Hills
friends are Inclined to think that he
has blundered. His most serious
mistake they say was not in order

taking up his residence in ALBANY
and personally manipulating the
wires of the machine. when he
should have been in Washington.

A close friend of Hill, in dis
cussing the situation with him re-
Gently, said: "Governor, why do
you remain here when you are sure

II believe in being on the spot"
was Hills reply. "Everything is
going all right to-day, and I believe
the State convention would elect q
delegation favorable to me whether

There is a great deal of talk
about a boiling Democratic State

others are seriously trying to bring
it about. But Hills friends say
that this movement will be sup

New York to the Democracy, they
say, and consequently the election

Instructive Facts AbOnt Corn.

There are differences between yell
low and white corn, Independent of the
color. The former contains more starch
and will make more whiskey, and is pre-
ferred for animal food where tattening
lis the object in view. The latter hss
more glutton and oil, and is almost un::'
vefsafly preferred, for bread. As food
for horcss, Where nerve and bone uutri-
meut are more desired than fat, white
corn has the preference. Write corn is
considered as coming nearer to oats than
yellow corn, aud is therefore better food
for working animals. So far as the re-
suits of analysis are known white corn
has about per cent. mora of the muscle
forming elements than yellow corn, but
the relative value of the two varieties in
this respect has not been accurately de.
termined.
The corn plant is one of the most
widely distributed, but every section has
a type best suited to its soil and latitude,
therefore the interchange of seed north
ern aud southern grown is not safe prac.
tice if the distance to the north or south
is q long one. From east to west the
transfer may be longer. Corn planted
in the north from southern seed grown
in longer seasons is almost certain to
be caught By frost. The plant, however,
has the faculty of becoming acclimated
and under few years of cultivation of
adopting its growth and period of ripen-
ing to the seasons of the sections in which
it is growD.

The most prominent "rofor m" that
was promised the people in the campaign
of 1890 was the reduction of salaries so
as to make them correspond more nearly
with the price of cotton. Whatever rea-
son existed in the fall of 1890 for reduc-
ing salaries grew stronger up to the final
adjournment of the Legislature. The
price of cotton continued to 60 down; but
salaries remained at the same old hg-
ures.-Newberry Observer.
Much has been said Of the expedien-
CIV of restricting the acreage tho South
puts in cotton, with view to q reduced
CROP and increased price. A better idea,
according to Admiral Ammen' is to open
facilities via tho Nicaragua Canal, and
thus increase the demand for cotton at
fair prices. The Japanese and Chinese
use vast quantities of cotton goods. They
are beginning to manufacture, and II
they could get Southern cotton via the
isthmus at lower prices than they now
pay they would go into cotton manufac-
turing on a greatly increased SCALE Az
present they get it over the Canadian Pa
cifc Railway or via the suez Canal
That is out the way and expensive.

The Humbug OF Proverbs.

A Proverb has been defined as ''the wis
dom of many and the wit of one." Into
many proverbs are packed pithy sugges.
tions as to conduct and generalized ex.
periences of mankind. They are sar-
castle, hortative, minatory, mirth.pro-
voking, but they are not wiser than the
people who make them. Hence, many
of them, some of the most widely cur
rent, are arrant humbugs. asserts the
New York Examiner. If they were
once true to experience, under certain
conditions, they are true no longer.
To say this is fiat contradiction of the
we'll known proverb, Nobody is wiser
than everybody" But even that is one
of the humbugs. 1t not infrequently
happens that single man is wiser than
his whole generation. Such men become
6rsu the leaders, then the martyrs, of
their age, but are the saints and heroes
of the ages which follow.
As fsgrant instance of proverbial
unwisdom and humbug, take the dis
itch which has been dinned into the
ears of unnumbered generation Of chill
dren:
"Early to bed, and early to rise.
Makes man healthy, wealthy and wise."
This is terse and witty generaliza-
ton of the experience of pastoral
community, where to get on in the world
it is necessary to work in the fields
fron sun-up to sun'down. 1t has no
application whatever to town life. The
wealthy and wise men of town are men
who work late and rise late, and as to
health, it is notorious that no part of
our population So suffers from all man.
ner of diseases as farmers and their
families. Yet how many have been
deprived Of their natural sleep BY a
superstition, begot of this wretched
rhyme, that early rising is conducive to
health. 1t is only in recent years that
people have had the sleep which ma
ture demands. A man who did so q
generation ago was called ''lazy"-the
most intolerable of all epithets, Frank
lin even aimed proverb at him "Men
need FIVE hours sleep, women six, chill
dren and fools seven." Now.a.days
the man who takes less than eight is q
fool.
Take some of the maxims inculcating
;shrewd business policy. "a penny saved
is penny earned" has ruined many
man who could not persuade himself to
spend money with judicious lavishness
in enlarging his business. The penny
saved was so large in his eyes that it has
hid the dollar lost by his foolish econo.
my. "Out of debt, out of danger" and
"better go to bed supperless than rise in
debt" are a pecious pair 7hich have
|tbrought many to the .poorb 'use. Debt
is The only salvation of n my man
Not debt 1ecklessly incurred by extrav-
agant living beyond his mea IS, but debt
incurred in the purchasing IT a home or
establishing of business. Where would
modern commercial affairF be but for
credit But credit means debs, for if A
trusts B, = must owe A. D. bt makes
man careful end saving who could spend
all he gets if he had no pres ing obliga-
tions to meet. So he is forced, as it
were, in spite OF himself, to provide for
sickness and old age.

it is the thing we have been wanting. Here
are our prices We will rough dry your
clothes at 31c. per pound. We will wash.
and iron or finish all plain clothes at &c..
per lb. We will finish all starched goods:
at 10c. per lb. The above prices are where

Storing Oranges in the Caves,

A very interesting discovery has been
made by Mr.. c. Briggs, of Russellville,
KY, which, if experience verifies, will
revolutionize the orange trade of Florida,
and give it a much moro assured value.
The problem which confronts the orange
grower is the season at which the fruit ri
pens and must be marketed.
If the supply over and abovothe winter
demand could be saved until the warm
summer months and fresh juicy oranges
could then be placed upon the narkcs
there would be ready demand which
would take all that are offered. This is
the very problem that Mr.. Briggs claims
to have solved. He stated at the meeting
Of orange growers in Jacksonville the
other day that he had been informed that
in order to keep oranges long while it
is.necessary to store them where the air is
cool and dry. 1t occurred to him that
these are the characteristic qualities of the
air found in the caves of kentucky. In
the Mammoth Cave, for example, the
temperature is about SO degrees the year
round, and the air is SO dry that the rem
nants of the old wooden nitre watts seems
to be almost imperishable. Acting on
this suggestion he had placed quantity
of oranges and lemons in two caves, one
of which has temperature of 40 degrees,
and is large enough to hold several mil
lion boxes Of oranges. In these caves he
,has'k kept oranges in perfect condition for
sixteen months and lemons for over
year.
Mr.. Briggs now proposes to furnish
storage In his Kentucky caves to Florida
orange growers, and enable them to mar
ket their crep at any season of the year
they find most profitable. If more ex-
tended experiments verify those already
made by Mr.. Briggs the orange industry
will take on new life, and tho luscious
fruit will be perennial blessing instead
of winter luxury.-Correspondence Of
augusta Chronicle.
