THE SHOPPING OE LOErfN-

The shooting of Postmaster Loftin.
of Hogansville, Georgia, was wicked
and violent expression of ideas which
are undoubtedly generally held in the
South. Senator Bacon of Georgia mild
ly sets forth the situation as follows:
THE appointment of colored men to Of
flee in the South will certainly lead to
race antagonism and arrangements
which would otherwise not exist. Such
appointments are Of small benefit to
the few negroes thus appointed, and
are of very great injury to the masses
of the negroes in the ill-feeling engen-
dered between them and the whites.
upon whose friendship and good will
they are wholly dependent. If the
debts due by the Republican party to
the negro politicians require their polit-
ical recognition in appointments to Of
flee such appointments should be made
to positions i'll communities whose
people do not object to the posts of au-
thority and command among them be-
ing held by negroes. Such commune
| ties and such people are not found
among the whites of the southern
States. The people of Georgia deeply
regret the appointment of negroes to
| office by this administration, but they
do not approve of violence to such ap-
pointees, and instances of such vio-
lence will be rare" And the Baltimore
Sun says: The whole trouble comes
| from the practice of bartering away
public office in payment of the politi-
cal debts of individuals. If it is deem
ed essential to appoint colored men to
postoffices there is a way it can be
done without making trouble or giving
| offence There is not State in the
North which has not well educated ne
groes, far better qualified to hold office
than those of the South, who. perhaps,
have not enjoyed the same educational
advantages. Let the President appoint
these men to postoffices in the northern

WORRIED THE LANDLADY.

Balder Twins Made Her Think She Was
in the Wrong Business
The Bladder twins have been getting
into trouble again. This time it was
with new clearinghouse keeper who
had bought out the Widow Clancy's
business and didn't know there was a
twin in it. The widow had always been
generous to a fault-her own and every
body's else-but the new dispenser of
provender had a talent for measuring
and slipping and keeping tally saw
every biscuit that was served. She saw
Harold the thinnest twin, eating his
supper, and She dimensions of his APP
petite fairly appalled, her She asked
who he was and was told that ne was a
regular boarder and belonged to the
Balder family, but not word of his
being a twin.

She saw pork and beans, fried eggs,
eggs on toast and bread without eggs
disappearing under the hungry admin
stration of boys appetite, and she
hurried into the china pantry and took
down a small memorandum book and
began figuring on profit and loss. She
was at it some time, and when she
returned to the dining-room she ex-
pected to find it empty. What was her
horror to find the boy with an appetite
had just received an entirely new order,
which was being served. She stared for
a moment like one distraught, then she
tackled the boy.
You must be hungry" she said, with
whitening sarcasm.

the Citizen says, Florida can, in two
years thefeafter, produce enough of the
cassava to keep every starch factory
in the United States at work until
another crop is grown. The present
product is unknown, as it is only grown
for home consumption. 1t is better
than the choicest tapioca, Florida peo-
pie say, and an acre planted with it
will produce more farinaceous food for
man and beast than the same area
planted for any other crop except ba-

Olive Trees In Georgia.

QUEsTIoN:-Will olive trees grow in
South Georgia? Where can trees be
bought, and at what price? How old
will the trees be before beginning to
bear?
ANSWER. The olive tree requires for
its best development Deep calcareous,
well drained soil, and will not grow on
wet land. AS far as climate and soil are
concerned. there are doubtless places in
South Georgia, particularly near the sea
coast. where the olive would grow and
bear fruit, but do not think they would
prove profitable. There are thousands
of acres in the coast valleys of Califor-
MIA planted in olive trees which prom
Use an abundant yield, and. indeed,
some orchards are bearing we'll now,
but even there. with soil and climate
peculiarly suited to them, they do not
prove as profitable as some other crops.
Trees for setting out should be three
years old. as they are then tougher and
more apt to live than the one and two
year old trees. You would probably
have to obtain them from California, or
import them from Europe. as l know of
no nursery at the east or south where
they can be bought In California they
begin to bear at five to six years of age,
and continue in bearing for long term
of years They should be planted not
less than 80 feet each way, and great
care should be taken to preserve the
roots from injury. Even if you have
the proper soil and climate, would ad-
wise against your planting more than
an experimental plot. State Agricultu-
