One strong reason for reform
lies in the fact that expenses are
piled up iu Jail fees from which
the people receive no benefit.
The last term of Court indicted
nine negroes who were arrested
aud kept in jail four months at
an expense to the people of 40
cents a day for each one, making
a total of about $4,000. They
were discharged in twenty min~
utes after being brought into
court.-South Pittsburg Repub-
liCan.
The advocates of a constitu-
tional revision have argued these
points over aud over again. 1t
is very nice to find that serving
on a jury has awakened Editor
Baker to the exigeneies of the oc-
casion. His ally against the
campaign, Pete Turney, said that
the advocates OF a convention did
not know what they wanted. II
that be so, it is very strange to
find the opponents OF the couVen-
ton arguing for reform on the
very same lines as they fought it.
1t is proof that the constltua
tionists did know what they
wanted. Baker and Turney are
very original in their methods OF
argument.

tions of the country comes the
best reports of crops tor the
present year and the outlook for
The coming one is still more fat
tering. Land will be prepared
better than ever before aud the
wheat crop for 1898 will be a
good one, but as a word OF eau
ton we want to cay to all, don't
put all your eggs in one basket,
and should any one not material
ize the others will make up tor it.
Now that farming has really
commenced let it continue.
Thousands of acres IN the Val
ley ought to be cleared, drained
and planted in something.
We near the crop in BledsOe
will average 18 bushels to the a
ere; Stquatchie County, II to IS
bushels, We have not yet the av~
erage for Marion County, but
1856 acres right here in Sequachee

A Remarkable Cure of Chronic
Diarrh0a,

In 1862, when l served my coun-
try as a private in Company A,
10Th Pennsylvania Volunteers, l
contracted chronic diarrhoea. 1t
has given me a great deal of trouble
ever since. l have tried a dozen
different, medicines and several
prominent doctors without any
permanent relief. Not long ago
a friend sent me a sample bottle of
Chamberlain's ColIc, Cholera and
Dlarrthea Remedy and after that
l bought and took a 50-cent bottle,
and now / can say that | am en-
tirely cured. l cannot be than kful
enough to you for this great Reme>
dy, and recommend it to all suffer-
ing veterans. II in doubt write to
me. Yours gratefully, HENRY

Cultivation of Orchards.

cultivation OF orchards.
Ii orchards are to be profitable,
they must receive as good care as
other crops.
Good tillage inceases the available
food supply Of the soil; it also con-
serves It's moisture.
Trees should he made to send their
roots deep into the soil, in order to
fortifY themselves against drought.
This is done by draining the soil aud
by blowing he orchard rather deep.
This deep blowing should begin
the very year the trees are set, and it
should be- continued every spring I'M
til the habit Of the tree is established.
Moisture is retained in the upper
soil by very frequent and shallow til
lage, by means Of which the surface
of the land becomes a mulch for the
soil beneath.
4 TIllage should be begun just as
soon as the ground Is dry enough in
the spring.
/ This tllage should be repeated as
often as once in ten days through
growing season-from spring until
July or August.
Tillage should not exist fer the
purpose of killing weeds.
Late cultivation may he injurious
by inducing a late growth At all
events it can be made of small utility
when the tree begins to mature and
become frequent. This season of ex-
respite gives the grower the oppor-
tunlty of raising a green manure, and
OF adding fertility to his land at tri.
fling expense and with no harm to
his trees.
Fall blowing may be advisable
for farm crops, but not for orchards.
Only cultivated crops SHOULD be al
lowed in orchards early in the season
and hay and grain should never be
grown.
In general, level culture is the
best. The modern cultivators and
harrOws make such cultivation easy.
Trees, especially apples, are often
trained too high, because of difficulty
of working close; but modern tools
permit the the heads to be made low,
Harnesses with no projecting
names nor metal turrets should be u.s.

Yesterday afternoon, Vicente Trujillo
found q baking powder can half full Of a
white powder which be supposed to be
baking powder He took 1t home and gave
1t to his wife who proceeded to cook q
batch OF. bread for the evening repAst.
The whole family, consisting Of six per-
sons, was taken sick Immediately after
supper, but a physician did not arrive until
four hours later. On the doctors arrival
he made inquiry and vas shown the can,
which upon being examined was found to
contain arsenic, even a paper on the inside
having the word arsenic written on itin two
places. The poison had been used in such
liberal quantities that it produced vomit-
ing and thus annulled the deadly effects.
The family are all we'll this morning, but
it is safe to say they will never again use
powder, unless they are sure where
it came from. The physicians stated that
enough OF the arsenic had been used to
kill a company of soldiers with several
dogs thrown In.

The Founder of German East Africa

Carl Peters, the German who has
his country the doubtful glory of II colo
nial empire, appears at present to be
in disgrace with his government for
reasons that arc not obvious. He was in
high favor during the opening Of the
Baltic canal, and i'll the many talks l
had with him was much impressed by
his knowledge and his vigorous manner
Of presenting it. He is the founder of
German East Africa, and it was he who
fitted out the German expedition for
the relief of Emin Pasha. OF course in
Germany he vigorously abused all things
English, especially when they conflict
ed with the interests Of colonial Ger
many. but aside from this pardonable
political humbug 10 man knows Eng
land better or appreciates her services
in Africa more highly than Carl Pc
ters. He is just now in London fitting
out another African expedition, about
which he throws considerable mystery
He, deserves success, for he has great
physical strength combined with men
tai equipment Of the first order. He has
travelled in every part of the world and
has a mind ready to acknowledge what
is good i'll different systems 1t is mel
ancholy to reflect that this man, only
40 years old, and who yet has lived
long enough to see the German flag car
ried into the heart Of Africa, thanks to
his courage and enterprise-that such a
man should be by Germany turned
adrift, while the colonial Office i'll Ber-
lin is lun bered up with set of bureau

No Use For the Metric system.

We have little to learn or gain by
adopting the measures Of continental
Europe. Three-quarters, or nearly SO. of
the commerce and traffic of the world is
carried OH by some form of appliance.
whether moved by wind, water or
steam, which has been built from Eng
lish measures by some English speaking
people, and the proportion is all the
time increasing.
Why adopt another and more incon-
venient SYSTEM which will render all
systems of screw threads, gear teeth,
foundry patterns, shop drawings, etc.,
obsolete, as well as shelving the most
valuable collection of mechanical liter
ature in the world and requiring
all its tables TO be translated into a
foreign measure. merely to obtain the
advantages of decimal system which
we already have to all intents and
purposes in far more convenient
form than we should obtain from
the introduction of the meter and
its derivatives? Besides these two unit
measures-the inch and the fOot-we
also use the cubic yard, in civil en-
gineering, for excavations and earth
work, but for mechanical purposes we
could get along very we'll with no other
