Thankful South.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 24.-The Manfactur-
er's Record publishes this week, rs ap-
propriate to Thanksgiving day, several
hundred letters from leading business
men. manufacturers, merchants and rail-
road officials throughout the South giving
their views as to why the South especial
ly has many reasons for giving thanks
for material blessings With only two or
three exceptions, these letters give very
hopeful outlook as to the general feeling
of Improvement that exists in business
circles in all the Southern States and show
that the prospects are everywhere favor
able for increasing activity on the, part
of the manufacturing interests, for large
movement of population to the South
from the North and West and liberal in
yestments of outside capital in Southern
enterprises. Many railroad and industrial
undertakings that have been held in
allowance for months are now being taken
up and plans matured for early construc-
tion. Farmers are reported to be less IN
debt than for many years, the very heavy
grain crops and large productions OF meat
during the past few years having made
the South almost self. sustaining in the
way of food. stuGs and thus kept at home
the millions of dollars that have hereto
fore gone West for corn and provisions
Particular emphasis is laid upon the
growing power of comm cree from South
ern ports, the magnitude of this business
showing that the South is to hold as COM
manding position in our foreign trade
by the proximity Of its ports to the CEN
tral western regions that produce the
grain and provisions for export, as it
now holds in iron and cotton manufsctur-
ing.
While two out of the several hundred
letters take an unfavorable view of the
situation and do not look for much i'm
provement, the others are of most
cheerful and hopeful character and are
expressive of the many reasons why the
South has reason to give thanks for bless
ings enjoyed, for dangers escaped and for
the bright promises of great industrial,
commercial and railroad development
and also for the assurance of great
southwark movement of population

The wonderful productiveness and ease
with which the improved artichokes can
be produced is always surprise to those
who cultivate them for the first time.
They are an excellent food for cattle,
horses, sheep or swine, and the cheapest
and healthiest hog food raised, one aero
being equal to five acres of corn for build
ing up large, healthy frames with plenty
of bone and muscle.
They not only grow rapidly, but fatten
at Lhe same time, only requiring Few
bushels of corn to harden the flesh in the
finishing process. The hogs will harvest
them them selves, thus saving all expense,
even that Of feeding. Freezing and thaW-
ing does not injure the feeding or fstten-
ing qualities, and the hogs will feed them
selves from October until May, except
when the ground is frozen solid.
Any good corn land will produce i'm
mense quantities, from 800 to 500 bushels
per acre. I find that low, mucky land,
that 10 too frosty for other crops, is just
the soil for the artichoke. have also fed
to nv milk COWS, finding that they beat
any root grown for increasing the flow OF
milk. They were also tested in the FIRE.
mont Creamery last winter with very
good results. There is no doubt but that
the improved artichoke is going to be the
leading farm crop, for no insect, blight or
rust has yet struck them, and the tops
make fodder, when properly handled,
equal to corn One thing that is keeping
the improved variety from coming to the
front is so many farmers think if once
planted they can never be eradicated.
This Is not true, for I have destroyed
them several times. I simply let them
get up about one foot high and plough
under. This will destroy them, but the
simplest way is to let your hogs stay in
little late in the spring; they will take
the last one in the ground.
One thing must speak about before l
close is keeping them through winter,
which I consider very important part.
It is almost impossible to keep them over
without decaying unless you know how
kept last winter seven hundred bushels
in pits. simply scooped out hole not
over ten inches deep, and then piled my
artichokes up to u peak above the ground.
then put thin layer of straw on top to
keep the dirt from rolling through, and
then I put on cIirt not to exceed five
inches deep, and packing it down so the
water will run off. If covered deeper
they will surely heat and spoil, and if
they freeze solid it will not hurt them.
By so burying will keep good.

- Power from Niagara Falls is now be.

Power from Niagara Falls is now be-
ing converted into electricity and used to
run the street cars of Buffalo, n. y. On
November Is, the Cataract Power and
Conduit Company opened the switch in
the power house at Niagara Falls, and
sent a current of 1000 voltage twenty
seven miles to Buffalo The loss of
power in transmitting it this distance is
not more than 10 per cent, and 1t is
claimed it will not exceed per cent.
The power will sell in Buffalo for $36
horse power per annum. AT present, the
only contract the Power Company has
made is to furnish 1000 horse power to
the street railways, but by its charter the
Company must be able to deliver so, 900
horse power by the end of five years.
The cables already in place are capable Of
carrying 10000 horse power. AS soon as
the Company gets its ten additional tur-
bines in the wheel pit at the Falls, it will
be able to generate 65 GOO horse power, if
necessary. The passage of the current
from Niagara Falls to Buffalo was prac-
tically instantaneous.

The growth of the Postotfice business
OF the country has been amazing. at the
close of the Revolutionary War there
were only seTenty-five Postotices in the
United States. At the close of the War Of
@ssl2 there were 5000. At the beginning
ofthe Civil War there were 2S,5sS, and
five years after its close, in 1870, there
were s,492, or about 100 fewer, the only
step backward during tho history Of the
Postofice Department. By 1880 the up
ward rise had started again in full force,
and the number Of Postofices in the
country reached $4,000. There are now
10000 Postoffices in the United States,
and the number is constantly being in
creased.

A Mountain Murder.

GREENvILLE ). G., Nov. 2S.-News

day Of Phil. Turner. young farmer, who
was mysteriously assaulted while she'll
ing corn on his place, twenty-three miles
above this city. The only witnesses tc
the occurrence we're tenants, John High
tower and John g son Goodlet. The scene
ofthe alleged attack is an isolated section
of the mountains, and important details
unobtainable. Turner never regained con.
sciousnsss, and it cannot be learned
which of the Hightowers is responsible
for the homicide. To Turner's relations
Hightower explained he received the
wound accidentally; that he fell against
the handle Of the shelling machine. Phys
ical fact, however, Enthusiastically rebuts
this theory. The doctors assert positive.

piece of blood-smeared iron was found or

probably was used as tomahaWk, fitted
the three gashes across the top of his
head where the skull was fractured. The
com munity is practically unanimous that
one Of the Hightowers committed the
crime.

Jerusalem Artich0kes.


To the Editor of the Ne,0s anil Courier:
You will find enclosed clipping from
an agricultural paper that may not only
agricultural readers. My experience in
Georgia fully confirms all the writer
claims for the Jerusalem artichoke relative
to its prolificness as we'll as for food for
man and beast. I hope you will insert
the same in your valuable journal, for
the building up Of the South must come
from the soil and the intelligence OF its
culture. The first duty of the farmer Is
to make something to eat, and then pro
duce something to sell. -.
The best variety for planting in this
section is what is known as the white
French artichoke.

The civil service commission will soon
select a test case for prosecution in the
courts to determine the extent to which
the civil service law is applicable in po-
Htical assessment cases. There were
many complaints OF assessments during
and previous to the recent campaign, and
various cases have been sent to the attor-
nev general for such action as may be
deemed proper. On investigation, how
ever, some of the alleged violations could
not be substantiated. The commission
ers are now casting about for good case
for test, and they will in few days se-
lect one which they regard as likely to
bring on a Judicial decision of the points

Last week Judge Earle made decision
at Barnwen which Is of considerable i'm
portance. He decides that the magis-
trates of this State have no jurisdiction in
either civil or criminal cases. This con-
dition has been brought about by Gov
ernor Evans having vetoed the bill giving
them Jurisdiction and defining their du-
ties. The Governor vetoed the bill be-
cause it took from him the power OF re-
moval. Ifthis decision stands then South
Carolina has no officers to try petty Of
tenders and the verdicts rendered in civil
cases By magistrates cannot stand. It is
presumed the case will be taken at once
to the Supreme Court.

WE have been so busy this season
that we have hardly found time to
write an advertisement unless we tres
passed upon the Sabbath, tut the ''ox

unnecessary as the people seemed to
know where to come to buy their goods
anyway.
In our 81 years active business ex-

tion to serve the people so well and
save them so much money on their
purchases as we are to-day, and were
never so much in earnest about doing
business as we are about now.
Notwithstanding our heavy sales to
parties near and far we are overloaded
on many lines Of goods, as our New
York buyer seems to think he can't
load us too heavy when he can get
them at such ruinously low prices for
prompt cash, as he did during the
squally election times just past when
money in New York was worth so to
100 per cent. on call. This is the ad.
vantage of always having a shrewd
representative in the Metropolis, but
it takes money to keep this kind Of a
thing rolling, and any who wishes to
