Pcwhatan's Pipe.

Captain T. c. Morton, Secretary of
the Board of Worlds Fair Managers,
hasin his possession the identical pipe
that was smoked in the peace con-
tract between the Indian chief
Powhatan, and Captain John Smith.
The pipe, which is of stone, has the
unmistakable marks of age upon 1t.
1t is cut in the shape OF Il hatchet, or
as the Indians say, tomahawk. a
hole is bored through the pipe. and
it is said thattwo stems were inserted
so that the parties to the contract
could both smoke at the same
time
The pipe was sent to Captain Nor
ton by its present owner, Mrs. Sallie
H. Redd. of Ridgeway, Henry county
Va. Accompanying the old relic was
a statement showing that Mrs. Redd
is a lineal descendant of the historic
Indian Queen. and gives the family
record for nine generations-from
the time Pocahontas became the
bride of John Rolfe to the present
owner, who was Miss Sallie Epes
Hairston.and married Mr.. James S.
Redd. The relic has been held and
highly priced in the family for all
those years.
1t will be on exhibition in the BIT.

The President has called halt in
the indiscriminatc removals of coun-
try postmasters, and in accordance
with his instructions, except for
cause, the present incumbents of
these offices will be allowed to retain
them until they have served four
years. The effect of the order is to
make the same rule apply to them as
to presidential postmasters and other
important offices, but the enforce
ment of same will not make much
reduction, it is stated, in the number
of fourth class postmasters to be APP
pointed daily. The Republican otfic
ial in charge of that department four
years ago made removals at such
rapid rate that there will be no
cause for delay, for the most part,
in turning over the Offices to Demo
cratic applicants.

C. H., We, us second-class matter.

A conference of the Southern Gov
ernors is now being held in the city
of Richmond. Seven states are rep
resented by their Governors and five
Others by accredited delegates, who
will participate in the proceedings,
The Governors attending are: Brown,
of Maryland, Mckinney, OF Virginia,
Carr, of North Carolina, Jones, OF
Alabama, Foster, of Louisiana,
Stone, of Missouri, Fishback. Of Ar
kansas and Tilllnan, Qf-South Caro-
lima. The states represented by
proxies are Georgia, Mississippi, West
Virginia and Tennessee. The Gov
errors of entucky, Texas and Flor
ida did not respond to the invitation
extended them to be present. The
meeting originated With Cover
nor Fishback, of Arkansas, and is
the first ever attempted with the
view of destroying false impressions,
which are known to exist concern
ing the South. Good results are OF
course expected from the delibera
tions of so intelligent Il body. All
the Governors will doubtless have
some original idea OF the best meth
cd of promoting the development OF
the resources of the South, and the
same after being taken up and thor
oughlv discussed, is to be incorpo-
rated into address that will be formu-
lated for general distribution.

tunbled down fortunately before

seems to be lacking that other build

To Pack Snow.

You ask me to explain how we put the
snow in the icehouse and also how it
was packed. Inreply will say: "We pack
the snow as solid and dry as possible,
put six inches of sawdust between the
walls, fill the house and put one foot of
sawdust on top Of snow. In two weeks
after it was packed the snow had settled
just one-half, and did not settle any
more and kept perfect to the first of
September, when we used the last: l
weighed few loads of the snow when
weput it in, and estimated that we had
about thirty-fve tons Of snow, which
cost us for labor thirty-fve dollars.
Our icehouse will hold 10 tons of ice
and about seven tons of snow. The
thirty five tons we left outside ON the
north end of the building we covered
with rotten straw. We used that first,
and it lasted us to the 2Sth of May.
Some Of it melted, but not very much.
We are now building an icehouse 80 by
80, and will leave the old one which is
in the creamery building for floor room
The one we are building now we will
fill with ice or snow, whichever we can
secure first, and if successful and get
ice enough to fill it, then we will build
a snow shed and use the snow in the
creamery and sell what ice we will not
use.
The snow is twice as easy to handle
as ice, as it can be cut out in blocks
with spade. l had cream cooler
fixed in shape of beer cooler, and cold
water was forced through from the
pump. While the separator was run
ming the water was go dogs. F., but III
hot weather we can lower the temper
