feel safe in saying if the weevil had
not disturbed the fall crop our
county would have made at the
least calculation 1000 bales more
than she will market under the
existing conditions. saw fields
that, to casual observer, look as
if the owner would be able to gather
two or three hundred pounds per
acre, but careful examination gave
most disheartening results. Those
big. fine, healthy-looking hollis al
most bursting with their snowy
contents, were in many instances
but the breeding place of the
dreaded weevil and his presence
meant partial if not complete de-
struction to every boil in which he
had taken up his winter quarters"
In conclusion Mr.. Woodson says:
at il conceded fact that last year
where farmers gathered their stalks
and burned them they suffered but
little from the ravages of the weevil,
If you are satisfied that you are not
going TO get any paying amount OF
cotton out of your field from this
forward pull and rake the stalks
and when dry burn, burn. If you
will do SO you will destroy millions
of weevils and save yourself a great
deal of trouble and care next year.

THE RIGHT WILL TRIUMPH.
However the battle is ended.

However the battle is ended,
Though proudly the victor comes
With fiuttering flags and prancing nags
And eehoing roll of drums,
Still truth proclaims this motto
In letters of living light
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right.
Though the heel of the strong oppressor
May grind the weak in the dust,
And the voices of fame with one acclaim
May call him great and just
Let those who applaud take warning,
And keep this motto in sight
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right
Let those who have failed, take courage;
Tho the enemy seems to have won,
Tho his ranks are strong. if he be in the
wrong,
The battle is not yet done.
For, sure as the morning follows
The darkest hour of the night,
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right.
O man bowed down with labor
0 woman young, yet old
O heart oppressed in toiler's breast
And crushed by the power of gold !!
Keep on with your weary battle
Against triumphant might:
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right

How to Get On in the World.

Most Of our successful business men
began life without a dollar They
have won success by hard work and
strict honesty. You can do the same.
Here are dozen rules for getting
along in the world:
Be honest. Dishonesty seldom
makes one rich, and when 1t does,
riches are a curse.
Work. The world is not going TO
pay for nothing. Ninety per cent Of
what men call genius is only talen.
for hard work.
Enter into that business or trade
you like best and for which nature
seemed TO have fitted you provided it
IS honorable.
Be independent. Do not lean on
others to do your thinking or to con-
quer diihcultles.
Be conscientious in the discharge Of
every duty. Do your work thoroughly.
No one can rise who sights his work.
Don't try TO begin on top. Begin
at the bottom and you will be surer Of
reaching the top some time.
Trust to nothing bat God and work.
Inscribe on your banner: "Luck ia
fool pluck is hero"
Be punctual. Keep your appoint
ments. BE there a minute before time
if you have to lose dinner to do it.
Be polite. Every smile, every
gentle bow, is money in your pocket.
Be generous. Mesnness makes
enemies and breeds distrust.
Spend less than you earn. Do not
run in debt. Watch the little leaks
and you can live on your salary.
Make all the money you can, hon
estly do all the good you can with
it while you live; be your own executor.

Grooved Stone AXIS.

Grooyed stone axes form the most
efficient part of all the implements
belonging to the stone age. They
are generally found in the valleys
and along the streams. Some arch
aeologists denominate them toma-
hawks. They are fashioned with great
skill out of rare and beautiful stone.
The green stone seems to have pre-
dominated in Washington county for
the manufacturing Of the implements,
first because it was easily worked and
second because it was susceptible Of a
high polish. These axes are found
with and without grooves for the adj
iustment Of handles. Some Of them
average in weight from eight to ten
pounds. The heavier ones no doubt
were intended to be welded with both
hands and were likely used in telling
trees The smaller ones, weighing
from one to two pounds, were proba-
bly used in war and for domestic pur-
poses. They vary from five to eight
inches in length. They are shaped
similar to a hatchet, with the groove
very near the top. The groove is
about one inch in length and a-hali
inch in depth. Lhaye several Of this
variety which are highly polished.
When made Of porphyry these axes
were valued much more than ordinary
sandstone or greensboro, inasmuch as
they were continually ground down
to new edge as the old one wore away
or was accidentally broken off and
the original owners were so choice OF
them that they continued the resharp-
ening until there was scarcely any
blade left. have in my collection an
axe Of this pattern worn down by con-
tinual resharpening which now meas
ures but four inches in length by three
in width. 1t would be easy to go on
and point out peculiar features in the
many axes in my collection did time
and space permit, but this is unneces-
sary. Numbers Of them are found
every year. In digging a cellar in
Trenton, \. j., one hundred and twen-
ty were found. They were found
about three feet below the surface.
Whilst digging the receiving vault IN
the Riverview Cemetery near Trenton,
y. J., bushel basketful Of these axes
were found packed closely together
six feet deep in the ground. In the
year 1869 a large white oak tree in
New Jersey measuring twenty-seyen
feet in circumference was blown down
during storm. Among the roots
was found a very rude stone axe. The
tree contained over 500 rings, indi-
eating one ring for each year showing
that the axe had been there for over
FIVE centuries.

This class Of relics approaches most
nearly to the stone axes, hatchets or
tomahawks but which are devoid Of
any groove or other indication by
which a handle could be attached.
These instruments are triangularly
shaped from three to FIVE inches in
length and from two to three inches
in width at the base. They are
ground or sharpened TO an edge at
the base. Many Of them are highly
poisoned and are made Of greensboro,
porphyry, red and blue slate and the
common sandstone. The use or uses
to which some Of the larger Of these
celts were put is very difficult to coz
lecture, inasmuch as no trace Of han
die having been attached can be de-
tected. 1t is not improbable that they
were used in times Of war as weapons
Of offense and defense as a supple
mentary kind Of tomahawk.

Bottled Up!

Whether in the form of pill powder
or liquid, the doctors prescription for
blood diseases is always the same
mercury or potash. These drugs bottle
up the poison and dry it up in the
system, but they also dry up the marrow
in the bones at the same time.
The suppleness and elasticity of the
joints give way to stiffness, the rack
ing pains of rheumatism. The form
gradually bends, the bones ache, while
decrepitude and helplessness prema-
turely take possession OF the body, and
1t is but a short step TO a pair OF
crutches. Then comes falling OF
the hair and decay of the bones,-a con.
dition truly horrible.

were used chiefly for cutting down

posts for huts, for grubbing up roots
and killing animals for food for pre-
pairing frewood for scraping the flesh
from the bones when eating and for
various other purposes in the domestic

SPEAR HEADS.

The spear heads have been divided
into two classes-hshing and hunting
spears. Some writers suppose them to
have been used for battle axes and
were supposed to have been fastened
to a handle. Some of them taper at
both ends. We have been fortunate
enough to possess "A number of these
spears of blue and white flint ranging
in length from three to six inches.
These spear points We're no doubt eX-
clusively used in the chase. These
spears are scattered singly over our
entire county, upland and lowland. In
shape they resemble an arrow head.
Fishing spears are rare and are long
and narrow Fishing spears are rare
in the fields or associated with other
weapons or implements Of the chase,
but along ouI brooks, creeks ANA nv
ers they are occasionally found. They
were used to spear the fish, hence
their name. They are more likely to
be found on the site of Indian villages.

implements ! have but one.

Mr.. Wilson, who, for eight years, has

1.-The record of Spanish atrocities per-
petrated upon prisoners Of war and un-
armed men. women and children for two
years past is one of the blackest in the
pages Of history, and is still fengtheDing
The reports from the seven United sta tes
consuls, now on file in the State Depart
ment, when brought to light, will reveal
authentic and fully verified instances of
barbarity, which will rival those of the
dark ages OF the Spanish inquisition
speak advisedly, and these reports, unless
they have been destroyed, Will yet astound
public belief. The evidence is confirmed
on every hand by the testimony of trust
worthy witnesses of different natioi-
alties, who could have no motive for ex-

brutality of Spanish officers and soldiery
outside the fortified towns.
Without any question CuDa is one Of the
most valuable islands in the world, and
under the protection of he American flag,
would within five years witness an enor-
nous development of its ineXhaustible re-
sources. Sugar, tobacco, coffee, iron and
copper of the annual value of more than
one hundred and fifty millions of dollars
would soon be pouring into the markets of
the world. The reciprocal value of this
development to the United States would be
enormous. A vast market for our surplus
flour, corr, pork, cotton aad manufactured
products OF every description would open
up to US in annually increasing proportions.
American immigration and merican en-
ergy would soon transform the island into
the most prosperous country on the face of
the globe.
''If Spain could be induced to relinqush
her hold upon the island, which can
never again be a source of profit to her,
for two or three hundreds of millions, it
would be cheap purchase, and its rev
enues, under the proper fostering of
strong and acceptable administration, would
soon exceed the interest on four or five
times the purchase price Whether this pur-
chase is made on behalf of the Cuban people
under the guaranty and protection Of the
United states, in return for exclusive recip-
rocal trade relations, or directly by the
United states, the Development will be
