Laws and Morals.

Many times in the past, from
the lives of predujiced conservatism
have fallen such sentiments as
these: "Whatever its laws, the
women of a nation are responsible
for its morals One could not
think that those who uttered it be-
lieved it; it seems a weak survival
of the special plea of Adam. But
recently it was repeated by one
whom nature gave to the world as
pledge Of progress; and who has
no right to dwell for a day in the
deserted and tattered tent of past
generation.
If women are responsible for the
morals of nation let us search
for some light task on which to
try their 80 prentice hand" Here
is one. No matter how dense the
population of a city, upon the
women of that city rests the re-
sponsibility of giving each inhabit-
ant his proper share Of pure air
each day.
Or this; No matter if the water
from which city draws its supply
be in direct communication with
the cess-pool, upon the women of
that city rests the responsibility Of
pure water.
No matter how serious the FAM
inc in Russia upon the women of
Russia rests the responsibility of
feeding all, not merely their own
children, but the nation. Perhaps
no more immoral law was ever
framed than the fugitive slave law.
Must the sufferings Of every slave
remanded to his master rest upon
the consciences of the women of
the nation and the trainers of the
bill and they who supported it by
their votes, go free?
Shall such venomous reptiles as
the Contagious Diseases Act which
writhes and wriggles its way into
the councils Of all large cities
sooner or later, go unscotched and
the wives, mothers and daughters
Of the men who cage the reptile
for profit, be responsible for their
scared morals? Shall women sing
praises to the beings enshrined in
brothels as martyrs to the giant
necessity?
No, perish the thought!
God helps him who helps him
self; no power can help him who
will not.
Each woman, like man, is re-
sponsible for her own deeds and
theories; for what she omits to do,
which she might have done; for
lack of effort to extend and deepen
her influence, but Juggernaut has
been sidetracked and is only kept
as an exhibit of the past, and the
devotees of ethical truth are asking
for the bright and keen implements
which are on trial in our republic
to tighten their work. When they
are secured, women will be equally
responsible with men for the NOR
ais of the nation.

TIMBER.
Perhaps the finest timber in

beech. elm, gum, aud hickory
timber, and the raid Of a few
years ago did not rob US Of our

everywhere acknowledge that
orr walnut lumber is the finest
known to the trade. We also
have some fine stands Of cedar
timber, though it is not SO plen-
tlful as the other kinds.
AGRICULTURE.
The finest agricultural lands
in the country Immediately sur
bounding the town. The land
lies beautifully, being subject
neither to too much water nor
too little. As a fruit country
this cannot be surpassed. 1t Is
conceded that the Strawberries
raised in this county are he fin

in Ihe United States. and they
al%avs command the highest
prices The acreage Of The coun,
tv Is about 500 a large per cent
OF " Which lies east of Marble. Hill
The climate and soil
are peculiarly adapted to fruit
raising and this county boasts
some of the finest apple, peach,

The cereals. hay and other farm
products grow abnndantly and
with little care. Stock raising
is an important industry among
our people. Fine breeds Of hogs.
sheep, cattle and horses are be-
ing imported, and the industry
is rapidly growing Land is
cheap, ranging in p,ice, govern
ed by location and situation,
from $40 to $3.50 per acre.
