An American Fable.

Once upon a time the Fox, who had
waited for two or three hours in pa
thence for the Hare to come out of hel
burrow, but waited in vain, retired tc
a distance and called out:
"Oh, Hare, please pop your head out
while give you Il bit of news"
"Well, what has happened p
oueried the Hare as she cautiously
showed herself.
II have reformed"
"NOm
ayes, my dear Hare, have'made a
resolution to live a different life.
From this time on shall let your
species entirely alone and strive to
acquire a taste for beef or mutton.
The purpose of this visit to your bur-
row is TO invite you for pleasant
stroll in the forest
~ beg to be excused!" replied the
Hare as she INDUCED in a womanly
wink
"But that betrays a like of conf
dence In me-" protested Reynard. ut
is only moment ago l told you | had
reformed"
"That's the trouble In the matter"
said the Hare, as she winked both
eyes. "Taking you as a Fox who
yearns for Hare meat, l am ready to
dodge or run; but taking you as a
Fox who has reformed ! am not up to
your tricks and would surely get left

Salt For Peaches.
TRAVELLER.

The unusual floods of last year
along the Atlantic coast have led to
what may be a discovery of first-class
Importance to peach growers. In
Kent county, Nd, and other portions
of the state along the coast, the wa
ter rose so high that in many places
it flooded the peach orchards and the
trees stood with their roots in the
salt water for considerable periods OF
time. The farmers concluded that it
would be fatal to them, but they
were mistaken. The trees were not
hurtat all. On the contrary, those
trees that stood in the water are al
most the only ones that have any
considerable amount of fruit on them
now. A gentleman in Kent county
says thai the only trees in his orchard
which are in good bearing are those
that had salt water baths, and that
the semi-circular outline of the flood
in his orchard may be clearly traced
by the presence of fruit on the flooded
trees, and its absence from those that
the water did not touch. A number
of other peach growers bear the same
testimony, aud the Maryland farmers
are now asking themselves whether
the peach trees would not thrive bet
ter for the application of salt. One
prominent peach grower proposes to
try dressing his orchard with the
seaweed, which .accumulates In great
quantities along the shore in the late
summer and fall, and says that he
feels confident Of the most satisfac.
tory results.

on THE WING.

tFor the Dcmocrat-Star.
Circuit Court for Smith county
was held at Raleigh the second week
in September, your brother presiding.
A Mr.. StinSon, of Lauderdale county,
made his appearance on Monday and
entertained a few Populite followers
with his stale talk about the failure
of the Democratic party to relieve the
people and the peculiar fitness OF the
Populites to do so If the people would
place them in power A large crowd
attended court, perhaps the largest
that had been there for many years.
After dinner Senator McLaurin was
called on to reply to Stinsons rot"
and it is but the simple truth to say
that lie exposed the fallacy of the ar.
guments of the Populte party and
skinned" Stinson from the word
''go," and showed up that party to be
not only failure, but great fraud.
Do not be at all dismayed at the noise
they make, and the means they will
adopt to carry their point, for be
assured Smith county, as heretofore,
will go Democratic by a large major
ty.
In the lower part Of Smith county
there is large and productive body
Of land known as the "Sillivan HOl-
low" The inhabitants are nearly all
related by blood or marriage, and in
many respects resemble each other.
They are generally industrious and
hard-wOrking, good for their debts
and hOspitable at their homes, but
rough and illlterate. They fall out
with each other and become bitter
and threatening and often have
serious rencounters, but If they be-
come involved in trouble and are
indicted, they become friendly and
stand by each other, right or wrong.
One family Of Sillivans has cost that
county several thousands of dollars by
their law-b breaking and succeeding to
defeat justice in the trials of their
cases before the jury, by the vilest
means. Oflate years churches, school
houses, stores. gins and mills have
been burnt in that neighborhood, and
though suspicion points to the pcrpe-
traitors and grand juries have indicted
them, yet it is impossible to get the
States witnesses to tell exactly what
they know, when it comes to Il trial.
The result is that the good, lawabid-
ing people OF that section are growing
tired of such conduct, and have about
made up their minds to take jurisdic-
tiOn of such matters hereafter and
) visit summary punishment upon them
If such things are reported. If they
do, they will have the moral support
of the county. People cannot afford
to have their property destroyed and
their lives imperied by such Il vile set
Of hoodlums, time and again, when
relief from the courts seems to be out
of the question. They will in neceS-
sary self-defencc have to resort to
extraordinary measures for safetyand
redress, and they are about ready to
do it, and these scoundrels are begin
ming to realize the situation. 1t
would be sad indeed if the people of
Smith should rise in their might and
seek to wipe out of existence their
fellow-men without trial Of their
guilt, but things have come to that
pass that they feel justified to do SO
if the crimes of arson and burglary
are repeated.

SLANDERlNG AND LYING.

Newton Commercial.
a slanderer is represented as a SER
pent having human head, coiled in
the grass, striking with an arrOw-tip-
ped tongue into the very heart of his
superior.
Jealousy, envy, prejudice and
malignity, are the cof poison under
the slanderer or liars tongue, from
which he feeds his deadly fangs, and
which pierce your good name.
A slanderer has reckless disregard
for the truth and honest reputation,
for everything good and lofty about
him. You may kill the sting of Il
serpent you may heel the wound,
but some one will always be exanill-
ing the scar.
A slanderer or liar is usually an as
sassln or coward, and generaliy has
some worthless character in front of
him. a lie is Of all things the hard
est to prove in court or to punish
when proved, and consequently other
and violent methods are often resort
ed to among men as the only remedy.
Amoug the meanest Of slandercr's
is the man who shrugs his shoulders,
winks his eye, cuts with sinister
smile, stabS with a glance, and whit
deals in "buts and IFS, and such
sources of SANDER are cowardly and
pusillanimOuS.
Some people lie for fun while Others
. lie for lnOrdinate inclination against
J, the truth.

professionals had the lying mania 81

STONY BATTERERs.
Novel Fjectment Proceedings by a
Father and Son

Father and Son
Captain Hookano, officer Fabian
and others had quite an adventure
yesterday evening. A report had
been made to the Station that some.
one was throwing stones at house
on School street near Liliha street.
The officers entered the house aud
found the occupants taking no no.
,ice of the stone throwing. The
men searched the premises and al.
though the stones were still falling
on the house, the throwers could
not be located. Among those who
assisted in the skirmishing we're An
toue Pimenta aud his fifteen-yea
old son Joaquin. The houses of
natives living in the vicinity were
entered, but no people were seen.
Finally last search was decided on.
Three of the officers went ahead
and two stayed behind. A. the men
were walking along Joaquin Pimenta
was seen to take a stone out Of his
pocket and throw il ON the roof Of the
house. He was immediately nabbed
aud 50 was the fail her Antoine. In their
pockets were found a number OF
stones. 1t appears that while pre-.
tending to search for the culprits
the boy aud his ia, her were throw
ing the stones. The stone throw
ing had been continuing for weeks
before, aud neighbors suspected il
was the work Of ghosts. Even
mounted patrolman had been heard
to report that ghosts were haunting
the house, the owner, a native named
Jack, having died only recently.
Both prisoners with relatives lived
in the same house. There was bad
feeling arose between the parties,
and the Pimentas took this mode of
trying to rid the house of the other
occupants. The son was convicted
some time ago Of setting fire 10 the
Halawa plantation at Kchsla aud
was sentenced to the Reform school.
He got out a little while back.

Probable Eff. ct Of Retaliation Against
SPANS Determination.

Probable En- CT OF hetaiiafion Against
spain's Discrimination.
New YoRK, December Is Unless
all signs fail To. morrow will be a very
lively day on the Stock Exchange 80
far IS trading in sugar is concerned.
Private sdvices from Washington re-.
port that Secretary OF State Gresham
has cabled the Spanish Government
that persistence ON its part in dis
eliminating against exports from
this country to Cuba in favor Of
Canada will invite retaliation under
the Act Of 1880 against Cuban sugars.
The importance II Mr.. Gresham's
ultimatum may he gathered from
the fact that fully 2,OOO,OOO,GOO
pounds OF sugar come into this coun-
try from Cuban plantations--about
half the actual consumption Of the
United States. II this sugar is shut
out from our refneries by heavy pro.
hibitive duties it must Of necessity
find it, way to European countries,
aud III turn return to this country in
the form Of refined sugar. Sugar
authorities ON Wall street interpret
the result Of such all action as a
serious blow to the trust, as it will
flood this country with foreign re-
fined sugars.
Whatever may be the result Of
Secretary Gresham's negotiations
with the Spanish Government the
dispatch above quoted is likely TO
stimulate the sugar industry con.
siderably in Europe. Meanwhile
the sugar war among Wholesale
grocers in various parts Of the coun.
try goes merrily along, and the pres
ent depression only emphasizes the
sharp composition that is engaged
IN on all sides. The fact that sugar
represents one third OF the business
OF the grocer shows how things are
drifting.
