fsulter w. w Taylor has reached
Pierre. He expected that special
farm of the circuit court would be in

statement in regard to his fight, III

Steel company has voluntarily ad-
vanced the wages OF employees at the

for several months past, the company
has decided to make the advance,
which effects all departments and

Domestic weather Prophets.

Probably everybody knows that there
are Microscopic plants which indicate
more or less clearly the quantity OF
moisture in the atmosphere. A strip OF
seaweed hung in an exposed position
frequently does duty as a popular and
easily comprehended weather glass, al
though 1t may be doubted whether its
predictions are Of much value. More
reliance can be placed in the behavior
of pine twig, which may very readily
be pressed into service as domestic
weather prophet. Cologne Gazette.

Running the Roads.
Carolina Planter.

Carolina Planter.
Nothing illustrates the inconsist-
ency of human nature more than the
well-nigh universal call fol an i'm
provement in our public highways,
especially when it is considered that
this demand comes from the very
class of men who do them the most
injury, and what is worse an injury
that is simply inexcusable and for
the preparation of which they
should be heavily fined.
The injury to which we allude,
and which nearly all farmers, who
live on the public roads, are respon-
slble, is Che practice of using u part
of the road in making their crops.
The evil has grown to such an ex-
tent that on many of our most i'm
portant roads it is impossible to
travel in u vehicle without running
into freshly plowed dirt. When It
comes to two vehicles passing this is
only accomplished by both of them
running over corn or cotton rows.
This condition of affairs is in the
highest degree discreditable to those
who are responsible for it, and if the
law Is powerless to stop it public
opinion ought to condemn it in such
an unmistakable way us to make
these trespassers ashamed of their
inexcusable greed and carelessness.
Ii the people who live in towns
were allowed to encroach on the
public domain in this reckless fash
ion there would soon be no streets,
for they would soon dwindle to mere
lanes, and very narrow ones at that.
The remark was attributed to the
late Horace Greeley, the famous
editor, that the way to reform was
to reform, and SO we say to these
tresspassers that the way to reform
in this direction is to let the good
work first begin with themselves and
then they may reasonably look for
an improvement in the roads. Let
each fafmer not only stop blowing
in the road, ~but see that his neigh
Dor does the same thing, and when
this is done he will have done some
very necessary work, and in which
he a take pride.
AS things are at present it would
be simply a waste of both time and
labor to attempt anything like i'm
provement in public roads, for
the reason that the very men that
would be most benefited would be
the very ones to destroy the work.
Instead of injuring the roads the
farmers should take pride in keep
ing them in good order and at the
same time make them look us well
us possible.
