A Good Example.

Mississippi set the example of over
throwing the rule of corruption and ig
norancc and was the first State to elevate
the plane of suffrage is now in as safe
hands as in any State in the Union.
We may justly claim it Is in safer linn
its than in the great State of New York
where the large cities hold the balance
of power, and the vote of the cities is
more or less corrupt.
The Southern States followed the
lead of Mississippi in cleaning out the
carpet>baggers and scalawags, and they
will soon follow our lead in eevatipg
and guardiog the suffrage.
Already our sister State, Louisiana has
through her Constitutional Commission
adopted change in the qcalificatlous
for voters very like ours. The only diff
ferencs seems TO be that when person s
cannot read and write, II they pay taxes
on two hundred dollars worth of pro p
erty, they shall be given the right &c

EDITOR 0EPOBTER:--A9l nave never
written anything to the columns Of
your valuable paper. I will now at
tempt few lines. from this section.
Crops are progressing some. notwith-
standing the unusually cold month OF
May. There is, however, some I'M
easiness among the farmers who have
cotton planted for if cold nights con-
tinue much longer it will be totally
vanquished.
We agree with Tynes correspondent
on the cotton and guano question. We
cannot see how the farmers of this Sec
ton can ever better their condition
so long as they persist in using so
much manufactured fertilizer to raise
cotton with.
We would suggest to G. NJ. that he
shake up his vocabulary, and not use
any more big words like '.conYales-
cling" We had to stop right in the
middle of his article and go to the
dictionary before we could tell whether
Esquire Shook was getting we'll or dy-
ing.
We are glad to learn that Mr.. w. A.
Bostick, the young man who was ac-
cidentlly shot through the head on the

Anothers warning to Smokers.

Lawyer James G. Brady is smoker
who used to think that the flag end of a
cigar was it's most enjoyable part. His
belief was shaken last Friday. Lawyer
Brady lives in One Hundred and Sixty
ninth street, and he stepped into cigar
store near by on Saturday morning and
bought and lighted long and rather
fat cigar. He put it out when he reached
the elevated railway station and put it
in his pocket, intending to smoke the
flag end in his Office at 1856 Broadway.
He lighted it again, and stood in the
doorway between his two offices, and
took the cigar out of his mouth to talk
to the Office boy. Just as he uttered the
first word there was an explosion. and
Mr.. Brady's cigar was blown into tobacco
dust Blood spurted from a cut on the
top of his middle finger.
Mr.. Brady hunted around to find out
what had made his cigar blow up. He
discovered fiatttened % calibre bullet
in the wall and the copper cylinder of a
pistol cartridge on the floor near the
doorway in which he had been standing.
The cartridge had been packed in tie
middle of the cigar with the bullet point
ed toward the lighting end.
The cigar dealer said that the cigars
were made in Baltimore for we'll known
grocery firm in the city. Lawyer Brady
complained to the manager of the firm,
and be promised to make thorough in
vestigation at the factory in Baltimore.

Peanuts-How and where They Grow


Three is much doubt as to the original
home of the peanut. Some claim that it
is indigenous to Africa; others that it
was native of South America, and was
carried by the earlier explorers of that
country to Spain. and thence to Africa.
its appearance in eastern North Carolina,
probably brought there by some of the
slave ships landing cargoes along the
coast The native Africans recognized
and used them.
Peanuts grow upon trailing vine,
with leaves much resembling small
four-leaved clover. The small yellow
flower it bears is shaped like the blossom
of all the pea family; indeed, the agri-
cultural bureau in Washington does
not recognize the peanut as a nut at all
but classes it among beans.
The soil in which it is cultivated must
be light and sandy; after the flower
falls away the fowers-stalk elongates
and becomes rigid, curving in such a
way as to push the forming pod we'll
accident this is not done, the nut never
natures.
They are planted in rows about three
feet apart, and the vines spread until
the ground is covered by them. Harvest
ing is done after the first frost, and they
yield is often one hundred bushels to the
acre, making this more profitable corp
than wheat or cotton. The vines, with
the nuts ciinging to them, are torn up
with pronged hoes, and allowed to dry in
the sun or day or two, and then
stacked to cure. In about fortnight
the nuts are picked off, the empty ones,
which are technically called s"pops,"
being rejected. This Is done by hand.
and is slow work, as an expert laborer
can pick only three bushels day. They
come into market in a rough, dirty
state, unassorted, and with vine tendrils
clinging to the pods. Eastern Virginia
aud North Carolina produce all the pea
nuts consumed in the United States and
Canada. Blue and Gray for February.

Nervous E.citability After Death.

Experiments made by M. dArsonval
with an instrument he calls a myophone
prove, contrary to the older opinion,
that nervous excitability may exist for
many hours after death. The old test of
the muscle shortening is no doubt not
applicable long after death has departed,
but asethe sound given out by the myo-
phone proves, the death of nerve is
much less rapid than has been hitherto
supposed, and nerve may act on mus
Gle in a state of electric excitability
without producing more than simple
molecular vibration. go" Y
