and his csse, too, he had better keep his little
case out OF the supreme court.
But there are more things for the legislature
to not do than to do. Some of the populist
leaders are trying to bait the negroes with free
schoolbooks, and, of course, this would catch
some of the whites, who are as bad off as the
negroes for free things This scheme is pater-
nalism run mad, and will add another half mil
lion annually to the public debt. Don't do it.
And there will be some who will want to pen
sion everybody. Don't do that. 1t is an in
Justice to the dead to begin now, thirty years
after the war, to pension the living. When
man dies, the law in it's charity gives to the
widow years support, but declares that the
condition Of the estate must be considered. II
it is badly in debt, the allowance must be small
in proportion. And so let us consider the con-
dition of the state as well as that of the tax
payers. We are paying now nearly half mil
lion for pensions, and we cannot afford to pay
any more 1t is all for political buncombe,
ANYHOW. If these burdens keep on coming, the
taxpayers will return their properly at half it's
former value, and many Of them are doing it
now and the taxes have more to do with it than
the silver question. 1t is an easy thing to vote
away the peoples money for all sorts of things,
but don't do it. Wait until the hard times are
over. 1t troubles Die by night thinking how I
can pay my taxes this fall and l am only one OF
thousands who are in the same fix. Lawmak-
ers, friends to humanity, if you can't reduce
our burdens, don't make them heavier-don't.

FERTILIZER BULLETIN
Issued by Commissioner Nesbitt for
the Past Year.


The annual bulletin for commercial
fertilizers for the year has just been
issued from the department Of agri-
culture. Farmers and fertilizer men
can get copy of writing to Commits
sioner Nesbitt.
1t contains suggestions to water
melon growers, gives the percentage Of
plant foods in certain fertilizers, tells
of cotton seed and it's products, gives
the report of the state chemist, and
various other interesting matter.
It gives a very comprehensive table,
showing the increase in the business of
inspecting fertilizers from 1874 down
to the present In 1874, 48,648 tons
were inspected, in 1875, 55,3 tons,
and each year thereafter it has in
creased until the present, when 315,
612 IONS have been inspected for tho
past year.
Col. J. M. Smith, of Oglethorpe, the
most extensive farmer in the state, has
noticed the appearance of these pests
and stated to Commissioner Nesbitt
that on some farms in his county and
in Oconee county the cotton crop
would be cut off fully so per cent by
the ravages of the boil worms. Mr..
W. Fl. Malone, of Monticello, Jasper
county, writes that the cotton crop in
that county will be almost total fail
ure on account of the work of these
worms and that it will be the greatest
calamity that has befallen the people
since the war.
Reports have come in from many
other portions of the state, but in none
was the damage SO heavy as reported
from Jasper, Oglethorpe and Oconee
| counties.
The boil worm thrives in rainy
weather and in damp and cloudy days
such as we have been having recently,
and the little pest is in an unusually
healthy condition at this time, and is
getting in his deadly work in Georgia.

FARMERS AS HIGHWAYMEN.
An Attempt to Rob Train Results
Disastrously.

A special from Fort Madison, Iowa,
says: Four masked men attempted to
hold up train No. 5, the Utah and
Colorado express, on the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe road near CORN,
Mo-, seventy-fve miles west of here,
at 3 O'Clock Tuesday morning. AS
result "Dad" Prescott, the engineer
of the train, is probably fatally
wounded. Two of the bandits are be-
lieved to lie dead or wounded in the
woods that surround the track, and
the other two are fleeing across the
country pursued by railroad detectives
with bloodhounds.
The attempt to rob the train failed
completely. The plot was formed
three weeks ago and the railroad and
express officials have had spy in the
camp of the bandits ever since. From
the time the train left Chicago at 5
o'clock last evening, railroad and ex-
press detectives, all walking arsonals,
climbed on at every station.
TWO OF THE ROBBERS CAPTURED.
A dispatch from Keokuk says: Five
farmers living three milec north of
ArbelIa, Missouri, are the men who
held up the Santa Fe train at CORN,
Mo-, fifty miles west of here, last
night.
Two of the men were captured at
Memphis, Mo, this morning, one be-
ing shot six times with Winchester.
He cannot live. The names Of the
captured men are Charles Abrams and
Lincoln Overfeld, the former being
the one badly wounded.

/. WOLF SON.
Where Was the Captain?

Riley De Arment, who played
short stop for the sports yesterday,
collided with Stewart Hamilton,
centre fielder, yesterday. Rivas of
the Mackeys hit high fly between
short stop and centre field and the
second baseman, the short stop and
the Outtielder went after the ball,
the latter two coming together on
dead run. In the collision De-
Arment was seriously injured on
the cheek bone, which was at first
believed to be fractured, as it was
knocked out of shape. He retired
from the game and went to a doc
tor, who said it was seriously
bruised and prescribed a remedy
for it.
It is learned that last night De-
Arment experienced severe pains
and on investigation it was found
that his left cheekbOne is dislocat-
ed as a result OF the collision and
an operation may be necessary.

FAVoRS SEWERS.
''B. A" in the Express Reviews
the Objections of the Freie
Presse.

To the Express:
The LIGHT several days past published
an English version of an editorial in
The Freie PreSse, the German paper,
wherein the sewer proposition is opposed
on the ground that the sewers construct
ed out of the 100000 will be but tempo
rary in character and will have to be re-
placed when the city puts down more ex-
LenSive and permanent sewers Hence il
argues the $4,000 will be not merely use
less expenditure, but that such sum will
be virtually squandered.
The argument put forward by the Freie
PTeSSe means that no sewers must be
constructed until San Antonio shall have
reached its full growth as to population
That is the logical sequence of its argu.
ment | think every city in the Union
would be wholly without sewerage today
in case they had acted on the rule laid
down by the Freie PreSSe.
The sum of 500 600 will suffice to sewer.
according to estimates, an area Of $40 t?)
acres, and this area would embrace
the most denSely populated portion
of the city as well as that portion
most urgently needing sewers at this
time. | do not understand that this
portion of the work is to be executed on
the cheap John plan and to SubSerye
merely a temporary purpose, but is to be
performed in such a manner as to be per-
manent. 1t by no means follows that be-
cause Sewering is TO be done piecemeal
and at different time that the work will
be imperfect and temporary in its charac-
ter. The main sewer-the cloaca maxima.
can be so constructed In point Of size and
SOlidity as to be as durable as anv work
of man can be. Hereafter when the sew
ering comes to be continued and com
pleted the work now proposed to be
executed will serve as part of the
sewerage system of the city and dove tail
into it, instead of having to he discarded,
as the Freie PresSe argues. The obiec-
tion started by that paper is ilifounded
and untenable. The Freie Presse ought
to know that London and Paris have been
building and improving their sewers for
over 500 years and that had they post
poned sewerage those years until they
should have attained their growth they
would have been more unhealthy and
deadly than the Ponptine marshes or
the malaria breeding swamps of the tor
rid zone. The sewer proposition should
not be assailed with captiouS objections
