It is cheaper and better every wav to
have turnips grown in rows so that
they can be cultivated than to SOW
them broadcast. The latter method
has generally prevailed, owing to the
too common idea that growing a crop
with little labor makes it cheaper. But
where the turnips are drilled and cul
tivated this extra labor is more thar
repaid by increased product, thus max
ing the drilled turnips cost less pei
bnshel than those sown broadcast
There is a further advantage IN tn
fact that the cultivated turnip may b.
kent free from weeds, thus saVni
labor in future crops

The Council Investigating Committee Has

The Council Investigating Committee Has
Done Nothing as Net-Wonder Why?
1t Tanspired yesterday that the spe-
cial Council Committee, appointed
eight or ten weeks ago to investigate
the gas works and electric light plant,
organized in a quiet sort of way" about
TWO weeks ago, but did nothing else,
and as far as could be learned yester-
day they have done nothing up 10 this
time, although il was unOfiCially sta
ted at the City Hall that the commit
tee was working quietly" down at the
gas works. This probably means that
after the lapse of a couple Of months
some of the members have concluded
10 look up some information for them
selves at the works, examining the
books there, etc.
This is certainly queer record for
a committee appointed to investigate
what is perhaps the most important
department of the city government. The
committee was given power 10 send FOR
persons and papers, and it was a rea-
sOnable expectation that it would have
met within a couple of days at farthest.
organized. summoned witnesses, and
gotten down TO work.
Where investigation committees are
esteemed by the powers that be to be
necessary, there Of course being a sus-
piciOn of something wrong, at the very
least. il is strange that there should be
a couple of months delay before any
thing az all is done. Under such cir
cumStances either the appointment of
the com ,itton was ORIGINALLY a case of
false pretenses, or the committee and
Council has laid itself open to the
charge Of gross neglect of duty in a
mater of the first Importance. 1t must
be one or the other of these things,
and in either event the public are en-
titled to an explanation.
Let's have the truth. Was the APP
pointment of the committee a bluff, or
has the committee neglected an i'm
portant business?

It is announced that the tin mines in
Rockbridge county, Va, are at last to be
developed. There is possibly more
wealth of tin in Rockbridge and its adj
jacent mountain countries than there
ever was in the circumscribed Cassit-
erides-the Sicily Islands around Corn
wall-where may be said TO have been,
nearly two thousand years ago, the
cradle Of the tin industry. Tin in large
quantities, it is au,horitatiyely stated,
not only exists in the Blue Ridge, but
also in the mountains of North Carolina
Let us have this tin, which seems only

Some one has left at this Office the

uncommon 'cuteness. 1t is true that
some of the Americans who visit us
show no particular sharpness OF intelli
gence, and readily lend themselves to
the designs o. the gentlemen wi o de-
7ote their lives to prsc,icing the "con-
fidence" trick, but that may be because
America keeps her best to herself and
only allows abroad those who do no. ex-
hibit any alarming 'cuteness. TIE High
Priest of 'cuteness in America has de-
clared himself. He has studied the pro-
visions OF the M'kinley tariff, and he is
teaping o rich reward. The Bill, which
this side OF the silver streak" has earn
ed such opprobrium, puts heavy duty
on eggs. The Yankee has bought a
piece OF LAID on the tolders OF Mexico,

hens to proceed into Anne lea to lay their

price which enables him to gaily profit
by his sharpness. A mole ingenious
method OF evading the tariff ON The eggs
could not well be devised, ard the man
deserves for the very brilliance oi
the design to remain umolested at the
hands OF the American revenue authori-
ties. We are not sure that they have
any ground for mo,estation unless in

hens prove obstinate. 1t must be agony

our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been SO pronounced by the best
