The ground has been wet for the first
time since last spring. The farmers
are again burning plant-land.
The recent season for handling to-
bacco, and the unusually high prices
offered on the Farmville market caused
the planters TO rush the wed In this
week until there was the greatest glut
ever on this market. Prices kept up
well.
The country roads are In bad condition.

The BELLS OF COVENTRY.
Some Curious Old Notices Telling ths
Characteristics Of Each.


Coventry Is famous for its churches and
bells. 1t was it will be remembered, while
watching "tho throe tall spires that the
laureate 'shaped the oity's ancient log
end" into verse, In which he tells US that
All at once,
With twelve great shocks Of sound, the shame
less noon
Was olashed and hammerd from hundred
towers
One after one.
The most imposing Of the churches is
that OF st. Michaels, the spire rising to q
height of 300 feet. This church, which has
the reputation of being the largest parish
church In England, and ono OF the noblcst
OF the lightest Gothic structures, has just
had replaced I'm the belfry its famous peal
of bells.
All these bells, as Is customary, bear
mettoos, some OF which are quaint and in

THERE CAN BE NO SECESSION.
Ex-President Harrison Declares That n
Wonld De q Constitutional ImpossibilIty.

"Our government is not confederation
OF states. but as strictly government Ut
the people as Is any state government,
writes ex- President Harrison, discussing
"This Country of Ours" In The Ladies'
Home Journal. "It is true that the vote
upon the adoption originally and tho vote
upon amendments Is by states, In state
conventions or In sthto legislatures, and
that in various other ways the states are
recognized and used in the administration
Of the national government. IL could
hardly have been otherwise. But the con-
struction of Mr.. Calhoun and OF the seces-
sionists that our constitution Is mere
compact between independent states; that
any state may withdraw from the Union
for any breach of the conditions Of the
compact, and that each state is TO judge
for itself whether the compact has been
broken, has no support either in the his
tory OF the adoption of the constitution or
in the text OF the instrument itself
The constitution and laws of the Unit
ed States take hold of and deal with each
individual, not as citizen of this OF that
state, but as a citizen OF the United States.
Each of us owes allegiance to the United
States-to obey and support its constitu-
tion and laws, and no act or ordinance OF
any state can absolve us or make IL law
full for us 20 disobcy the laws or resist tho
authority OF tho United States. We owe
another allegiance, each to his own state,
To support and oboy its constitution and
laws provided these do not conflict with
the constitution and laws OF the United
States.
"The question whether an act Of congress
Is unconstitutional, or whether an act OF
any officer of tho United States, done Of
fcially. Is unauthorized, must of course
bo decided by the courts OF the United
States-in tho last resort by thtsupreme
court. "A power in state court finally ia
declare law of the United States invalid
would be destructive Of national authority
and indeed of the national existence.
There can be, in proper constitutional
sense, no secession and no war between a
state and tho United States, for no ordi-
nance rapud:ating the national authority
or organizing resistance TO IL can have any
legal sanction, even when passed by state
legislature.
