Weather Crop Bulletin.

CENTRAL OFFICE, LYNCHBURG, VA,
March %, 1S93.-During the month OF
March thus far, there has been ONLY about
one-third the average amount Of rainfall !;
during the past seven days there has been
generally little or no rainfall, except
towards the southwest sections where
there has been about a half inch of rain
fall, ending with light snsw on Monday.
Thus far, The temperature for March has
averaged about the normal; the coolest
periods were on the 4th to 9th, and 18th
to Goth since the latter date the temper
ature has been above the average for the
season.
Reports show that early sown winter
wheat has generally come through the
winter in fairly good condition, while
the late sewn wheat was in rather bad
condition both have improved consider
ably during the past tive or three weeks.
The comparatively dry weather during
March has permitted following to be pros
ecuted generally, and some gardening has
been done even in the central counties.
In Roanoke county above the average
amount of ground is being prepared for
spring cats and for corn, and in snrry
county the GA: and potato crops havO
been seeded.
The grass is beginning to come out
rapidly, and the buds are swelling. The
continued cold or comparatively COO
temperature during the entire season since
the middle of November has no doubt
proved beneficial to the fruit buds, and
there is now reasonable prospect for q
good fruit crop Of every kind.
1t IS thought that every planter ha'
been enabled to prepare and seed theil
plant-beds, but all of the correspondents
failed to state the condition ana prospects
for that crop it is expected thai full
report can be made on the same mex
week. J. n. RYKER, Observer,

The single tax system was put in opera
ton ia Hyattsvllle, Prince George ceun
tv. Nd, under the authority of an act
passed by the Maryland legislature last
year, This act purported to repeal an
act passed two years before under which
real and personal property were required
80 be assessed and required the assessing
officers to assess the land and the im-
provements thereon, but not personal
property. Ne personal property was as
sesstd, aud the valuation on improve
ments was struck from the assessment
rolls by the commissioners Of HSattsvllle
on their own motion aud taxes were levied
only on the assessed value Of the land.
This action of the board OF commissioners
has iust been declared illegal by the
Maryland Court of Appeals, which has
also held the act of 1892 unconstitutional
as being in violation of article IL of the
declaration Of rights, which provides in
effect that every person in the state, OF
person holding property therein, ought to
contribute his proportion of public taxes
for the support of the government &C
cording to his actual worth IN real or
personal property. The single tax doc
trine thus gets set back.

SAM JONES AND THE REV. Mr.. DOBBs
STIR Up CABTERsvILLE.
street fight Is looked for every day
between the Rev. Sam. p. Jones, the
evangelist, and Rev. Mr.. Dobbs, the
Baptist pastor at Gainesville, Ga. A feud
OF many years standing has existed be-
tween the reverend gentlemen, intensified
by a scandal which eliminated in a
church trial last December, in which the
Rev. Mr.. Mashburn, the Methodist pastor
was acquitted.
Dobbs held that he had been white
washed. The occasion of the inves.iga-
ton was some unsigned letters which had
been sent to the Joaes family, the author-
ship of which had been attributed 10
Mashburn by Dobbs, bat in which charge
Jones took no stock.
Lately Dobb5 has renewed his criii-
csms, and this led TO a sermon by Jonf 8
last Sunday which has been the talk #
the town. Jones, after denouncing Dobb',
denounced the accusation against Mt.
Mashburn as "a damnable lie" and said
the affair had gone far enough that iii
1t did not stop right where 1t was Sam
Jones might have the feathers stamped
off of him before Saturday night"
The preacher was loudly cheered. II
is denied by the preachers themselves
but asserted by their close friends, that
both carry pistols and arc ready for self
defence.
The scandal Is one which has extended
to the churches, neither Baptists mol

President and People.

The Washington Evening News, an
Independent Democratic paper, makes
the following editorial reference to the
policy of President Cleveland
The President has shown from the
outset in many ways his desire and
determination to he the President of the
people rather than a mere ude-partner
of the political leaders, as 20 many
Presidents have been.
In the first place he chose his Cabinet
without reference to political considera-
tions and solely with reference to the
business needs of the country. Next, he
issued his famous rule putting all his
former office holders on the same plane
with every body elsa rule manifestly
IN the interest of the great body Of the
people as against the favored few.
Now he is understood to have an
nounced that in considering the claims
of candidates for office, the Endorsements
Of private citizens of approved intelli-
gence and honesty will weigh Just as
much with him as the Endorsements Of
the Senators, who have hitherto had
almost absolute control in determining
the choice between rival candidates.
This newest rule of the President may
appear to be what some call grind
on the Senators, but even they must
acknowledge its abstract justice. Wha
natural right have Senators to dictate
appointments, or wherein are they better
able than their neighbors in private lii(

That One Blot.

Whom a good man dies, it IS one Of the
most consoling thoughts to his sorrowing
family and friends that the pure, ursullied
record that he has left, cannot be changed.
His life can now be remembered as one
against which no word of reproach can
be truthfully uttered. lie has now passed
beyond the possibility of staining good
character. IL is not so with the living.
OF no one, however fauliless and justly
respected he may be, can it be predicted
that he will 90 to his grave without the
commission of some deed that will forever
cause his name to be recalled with feel
ings Of pity and contempt. No examples
need to be adduced to prove this PROPOSE
ton the illustrations are too numerous
to require mentioning. 1t furnlohes one
of the saddest commentaries upon hnman
nature to see men sometimes living to
advanced ago honest moral, temperate
and consequently highly esteemed, and
then in an evil hour perpetrating crime
that will ever afterwards mar their rep
ntatlons. Nor can it be said that anyone
is beyond the possibility Of such a con
tingency. So long as life lasts, the choice
between right and wrong continues, and
the influences brought to bear upon
volition are so much more potent for evil
than for good that it necessitates from all
constant watch care to guard against
"that one blot that has tarnlsbed the
characters of so many whose lives were
otherwise without reproacb. -BdliimOredn.

Opposed to Funeral Sermons.
The Protestant pastors in Charlotte N
c., have taken action against funera
sermons. They have adopted a resolu-
ton to the effect that "the aim of the
funeral services is the promotion of Gods
honor and edifcation of the people. This
end is ordinarily best attained by oc
cupyng the entire time with reading
Holy Scriptures (thus letting God Him
self speak directly and in other acts OF
worship, prayer and praise"
Another resolution declares "When
it is deemed wise or profitable to intro
duce brief remarks such remarks should
be without personal reference aud eulO-
gy, but should set forth some lesson of
Providence or hope drawn directly from
the word of God"
