Editor Walsh, of the Augusta
Chronicle, wisely observes: "The
fathers and grandfatners of the pres
ent generation of Georgians made
money at farming. They prospered
and grew rich, not because of sla-
very. but because they raised their
own bread and meat. They lived at
home. They raised their own hogs,
their own sheep and cattle, and stock.
Cotton was surplus crop. The
present generation of farmers must
follow their examples in order to
prosper The remarks are applica-
BILE to South Carolina.

The low price at which the cotton
market opcned this fall should i'm
press upon our farmers the necessity
OF devoting their attention to other
crops. They should prepare for a
good crop of oats and wheat this fall
and put some Of their land in grass.
Almost every farm has scme worn
land that can be made into good
pasturage by putting it in Bermuda
grass, and many have land that will
pay in Bermuda meadow.

An Irishman and negro agreed tc
settle the question of who was the
better man. They also agreed that
as soon as one was satisfied he should
indicate the fact to the other by

the Irishman sang out: /" Sufficient

exclaimed "Sho,' Pve been tryin'

nail squarely on the head when it
says that there is no such thing as
Third Party Democrat. You might
as well speak of Republican Demo-

not Democrat.

An eminent lord chief justice, who
was trying a rlght-of-@ay case, had
before him witnesstan old farmer
who was proceeding to tell the
Jury that he had "knowed the path
for sixty yeer, and feyther tould l
as he heerd my grandfeyther say.
"Stop" said the Judge: ave can't
have any hearsay evidence here" !"
"Not?" exclaimed Farmer Giles.
"Then how dost you know who thy

Judge said s'In courts of law we

second triumph on the part of the
witness sent in torrent OF hearsay

the Judge told them it was not testi-

party won.

A Brave Woman.
New Orleans Picayune.

A gang of drunken lumbermen
boarded train in Wisconsin recently
and proceeded to take it. They
cowed the crew, bullied the passen-
gers, and did everything they could
to provoke a fight. Finally they In
vaded the ladies' coach, whooped,
yelled and smashed the hats OF male
passengers down over their eyes. A
demure little woman sat in the seat
with her husband, and when his
derby was smashed she rose up and
whacked the smasher over the head
with a big hickory cane. The blow
sounded like the pop of pistol, and
the bully went sprawling over seat.
Then how she did belabor him
One of his companions attempted to
come to his rescue, and was laid out
in the aisle. Then she chased the
rest Of the gang back into the smoker
and dared them to leave it. And
they didn't.

War-The March of Company A.
THE Centnry.]

The Century.
"Forward, marchr' was the captains
word,
And the tramp of q hundred men was
heard;
AS they formed into line in the morning
gray,
Shoulder to shoulder marched Company A
Out of the shadow into the sun,
A hundred men that moved as one:
Out of the dawning into the day,
A glittering file, went Company A.
Marching along to the rendezvous,
By grassy meadows the road ran through,
By springing cornfields and orchards gay,
Forward, forward, went Company a.
And the pink and white of the apple trees,
Falling fast on the fitful breeze,
Scattered its dewy, scented spray
Straight in the faces Of Company A.
A breath like sigh ran through the ranks,
Treading those odorous blossom-banks,
For the orchard hilisides far away,
The Northern hillsides CT Company A.
Forward, march!-an the ale..... 49,,
sped:
Out OF the pine wood straight ahead
Gathered troop of the Southern gray
Face to face with Company A.
Forth with flash in the Southern sun
A hundred sabres leaped like one;
Sudden drum beat and bugle-play
Sounded the charge for Company A.
Halt. WHAT'S here? A slumbering child,
Reused by the blast of the bugle wild,
Between the ranks. Of the blue and gray,
Right in the path OF Company A.
Nothing knowing Of North or South,
Her dimpled finger within her mouth,
Her gathered apron with blossoms gay,
She stared at the guns of Company a.
Straightway set for sign Of truce
Whitley handkerchief fiuttered loose,
AS front of the steel of the Southern gray
Galloped the captain of Company A.
To his saddle-bow he swung the child,
With a kiss on the baby lips that smiled.
While the boys in blue and the boys in
gray
Cheered for the captain of Company A.
I,n.1, eo,>, +lo .o n1,c of b;c baltad mon
While the wild hurrahs rang out again,
The Southern leader spurred his way
To meet the captain of Company A.
Out of the arms that held her safe
He took with smile the little waif;
A grip of the hand 'twixt blue and gray,
And back rode the captain of Company a.
Up there, in the distant cottage door,
4 mother clasping her child once more,
Shuddered at sight of the smoke-cloud
gray
Shrouding the path of Company a.
A little later and all was done
The battle was over, the victory won;
Nothing left Of the pitiless fray
That swept the ranks of Company A.
Nothing left-save the bloody stain
/ Darkening the orchards rosy rain;
Dead the chief of the Southern gray,
And dead the captain of Company A.
Fallen together the gray and blue,
Gone to the final rendezvous;

The Butchers Trust.

The Union Meat company is what
they call the consolidated beef trust in
Portland now. Parties from Chicago,
however, are in the country, and The
Dalle3 stinds as good a show as any
point in the Pacific Northwest for being
the leading beef market another year.
Why not? The location for securing
cattle, sheep, hogs, ETC., is superior to
Portland in every way, and the facilities
for marketing the goods are equal to any
one of the best points on the Pacific
coast. It is well known fact that the
bulk of the hams, bacon, lard, canned
and smoked meats that are consumed in
this market are imported from eastern
cities. This is also the case on the en-
tire coast, and the magnitude of this
trade can be better understood when it
is stated that carefully-compiled statis-
tics show that something like 10000 900
pounds of meat products of the kinds
before stated were imported the past
year for consumption by the coast states
and British Columbia. This is due to
the fact that the large eastern packing
s1O41ScS pOSSCSS 1StCIlltltS lOI putting u d
more palatable and desirable brand of
meats, etc., of this.character than have
been heretofore put up by local pro-
ducers. The reason for this is readily
apparent to all who will give the matter
any consideration. There is no one es-
tablisbment here that is devoted to the
packing business, and consequently the
hams, bacon, etc., of local production
are not at all of uniform quality. The
Dalles could have facilities equal to Chi
cago, with Chicago firm behind it; to
supply the whole coast with meats of
uniform quality. Discussing this mat
ter yesterday the Oregonian says:
GAS large as the city of San Fran
cisco is, it was only recently that
plant of this kind was put up there,
and it remained for Chicago parties
the same ones who are desirous of
locating hereto start the enterprise,
the residents of the Bay City not being
progressive enough to establish such
much needed institution. Now that
these same gentlemen are about to es-
tablieh another great enterprise here
they cannot but be the recipients of con-
gratulations from all sources, and with
the display of the same zeal and energy
shown by them in the past, success is
assured for them in their new field of
operations.

General s,okIes, EI1egibiltty.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-The election
in congress from the tenth district of
New York of General Sickles has revived
the question as to the right of an officer
on the retired list of the army to a seat
in congress in view of the constitutional
provision that ''no person holding any
Office under the United States shall be
member of either house of Congress
during his continuance in office" The
only question involved is whether retired
army officers holds an office within
the meaning of the constitution.
The consensus of opinion among legal
officials on this point is in the affirma-
tive. There is not even probability
however, that any official of the execu-
tive branch of the government will at
temTS te interfere in any way with the
seating of General Sickles. Therefore
unless some memler of the house itsel1
shall make the objection, he will be al
lowed to take his seat.
