Trees Near the House.

A reliable authority on matters re-
lating to the aspect and surroundings
of a house considers that no single
tree should stand within some feet of
it, no garden within several yards and
no woodland, with its carpet of decay
ing leaves, within at least half mile
This last estimate might well, it is
thought, be reduced by One-half, and
perhaps twelve to fifteen feet might be
taken as the smallest distance which
should intervene between tree and
house. With this qualification tie
proximity of trees to Il dwelling house
is distinctly beneficial. To insure a
pure and fragrant atmosphere you
must" says a writer on the subject,
''accept from nature those tall, green
chilnneys called trees, which imbibe
and carry aloft into the air those hurt
full gases which, if admitted to the
lungs and brain, might disease the for
mer and obstruct the delicate move
ments of the latter
At various points in the country may
be observed houses which, in spite of
faulty situation, are yet generally
vironed with trees which shelter them
from the cold winds of winter and
spring and in summer prevent that
sudden and rapid evaporation which
after heavy rains may generate disease
A most striking example of the use of
trees in preserving and promoting
health occurred some years ago AS
the story goes, a man, along the ex-
tremity of whose garden ran ditch,
received no injury from it's proximity,
till, in an unfortunate hour, thick
row of elders which grew upon the
brink was cut down. Almost imme-
diately low fever attacked the family,
and not only reduced them to a state
of great weakness, but returned at
short intervals, till they removed to
another locality. Eagle.

When hens eat their feathers it is a
symptom that something is wrong
with their feed. Giving too much corn
is a common cause of this habit. The
hens grow fat at first from the excess
of carbon or starch this grain possess
es, but soon become unhealthy and
stop laying. Even when more nitro
genous and mineral food is given care
must be exercised not to Over-feed.
The only way to secure entire health
fulness with any breed is to give them
plenty of room and if Of the lazy Ash
attic breeds, that dislike exercise, then
force them to it by giving them food
mixed with straw or chaff so that they
must scratch to get it. The fowls that
pick over heaps of horse manure for
scattered oats may not be engaged in
very clearly business; but they do not
become diseased as fowls will that are
cooped up and fed only clear grain.

FAST, BUT A KICKER

Speaking about horses, said Col.
CaIliper, reminds me of horse that
was once owned by friend Of mine
who lives in Storkville Centre, VT
This horse was just an ordinary hum
dred dollar horse until he turned out
to be trotter. He got so, finally,
that he could move in pretty near
three minutes. That made him worth
about $500, which meant a good profit
for the owner; but, unfortnatly, just
when the horse had come to that point
he developed also as kicker. He
could kick harder and faster than any
horse l ever saw. He kicked out one
end of the barn and smashed his stall
and broke up every thing within reach
until they put him in an iron stall,
which they had built expresslyfor him.
The horse could trot as fast as ever,
but his kicking knocked off that 5000
of value. If the owner could have
realized on the horse when he was at
his best that $500 at six per cent would
have yielded S12 year. My friend
was frugal man and it seemed to him
that perhaps the kicking might be
turned to account. 1t took a man
some time every day to cut up the fire
wood that was used on his place, and
he figured out that the time so spent
cost him more than S12 year, and
that it would yield at least an equal
return if devoted to some other labor.
He decided to let the horse break up
the wood.
Every morning they put some cord
wood in the iron stall, and the horse
broke it up. For a time this plan
worked satisfactorily and proftab1y,
but one day when they dropped in
cherry log the horse wouldn't kick.
He seemed to have discovered that
his energy was being used to benefit
his owner, and he stopped kicking.
Possibly in time he might have again
permitte the utilization of his Singular
gift, but they didn't wait to see, they
sold him. My friend was not a grasp
ing man; he did not even try to get
the price the horse was really worth
as wood splitter he just let him go
as plain trotter.

THE storm Ur Friday night, that
grew in fury as the night wore on,
was terrific all through this county,
with rain, hail and lightning, al
though no fatalities are reported,
other than the sad case recorded in
Yesterdays ARGUS. The heavy rain
and hail seems to have been wide
spread all through this section, and
accompanied with more or less dam
age to truck and young crops.
On Mr.. W. F. Kornegay's Den
mark plantation, near this city, dur
ing the storm Friday evening
lightning struck and instantly killed
Mr.. Hosea Evans and his child,
which he was holding in his arms at
the time. The volt was terrific
and tore even the shoes off
his feet. Mr.. Hosea was the
oyerseer of the plantation and was
an industrious man. His wife, also,
was badly stunned by the same flash,
although she was in the dwelling
some distance away, Mr.. Hosea be-
ing in the barn, where he and his

VOICE FROM sAULsToN.
Mr.. A. T. Uzzem Nominated for Sheriff

Dear argus :-"Rotation in office
is the shibboleth OF Democracy, and
in times like these it behooves the
party to pay strict adherence to its
cardinal doctrines-and the greatest
of these, 1 believe, is rotation IN office.
Yea, truly, had the party always and
under all circumstances, followed
this grand and admirable principle
of giving every man chance, the
country would be better off to-day
the Democratic party would be
supreme; because the people are
supreme, and it is the party of the
people.

Allianceman and farmer, and l de-
sire most earnestly to see the success

tion,. State and county, because | be-
lieve that only through the supreme
power of the Democratic party can
the people-all the people-the
masses, ever secure relief from OPP
pressive burdens, and feel that they
have voice and d power in making
the laws of this our country.
l have departed somewhat from
the purpose of this note, Mr.. Editor,
but [ hope what have said has not
been amiss. desire to present to
the consideration of my Democratic
fellow-citizens of Wayne County the
name of Mr.. Atlas T. Uzzell, of
New Hope, for the nomination for
Sheriff in our county convention,
when it shall be held for the nomi-
nation of county officers.
Mr.. Uzzell is a Democrat tried
and true, and always in the front of
the fight for Democratic success and
white supremacy. His service to the
party goes back to the dark days of
'68-that tried the souls Of the white
men of the East: Can we ever forget
them! Can we ever forget the men
who stood firm and patriotic for
home and white supremacy and hon.
est government? God forbid.
Mr.. Editor, when think of those
dark days of nameless dread-of Re-
publican rapacity and negro domina-
ton, [ cannot imagine what has
come over the spirit of our manhood
of to-day, that SO many of US are
growing Iukewarm and wayward and
wandering; while Republicans look
on and rejoice.
Mr.. Editor, have tasted the bitter
cup of Radical misrule and corruption
in this State, and in this county-we
are tasting it now-and have been
for twenty-five years in their oppres-
sive manipulation of the national
government, and therefore, Mr.. Edi-
tor, always make it rule when
ever see a Republican looking
pleased at anything going on in the
Democratic party TO get scared right
straight and begin to look for

low Democrats.
| Mr.. Editor, in presenting Mr..

words of commendation for him. He

He is an industrious farmer,
staunch Democrat, member of the
Alliance, and a conservative, safe
man. He would make an intelligent,
faithful and efficient officer. He
deserves the nomination.
