The announcement that days of
grace" have been abolished in one more
state, suggests that in old English law
the phrase had a meaning different
from the present we'll understood sig
nificance of the words as used in busi-
ness. Law or custom allows three days
beyond the fixed day of payment Tor
paying note or bill of exchange: The
term. "days of grace" as used IN old
English law, signified the period OF
three days allowed by the court for the
appearance and answer Of a person
summoned beyond the day mentioned
in the writ. This old use thus point
ed to mercy rather than to mere busi-
ness accommodation or convenience. In
these days of trusts and shylocks there
is neither mercy nor business-'ust
plain sand-bagging and no more.

Latent Fertility.

In the older districts and states OF
iour country the question is, How shall
we restore the fertility Of our sands?"
The question here should be, how shall
we prevent the further depletion OF
ours? for it is much easier to prevent
depletion than to restore fertility when
lost. Luckily for us, nature is very
cautious and conservative in her gifts
to her children. If one generation were
permitted to use up all the plant-food
their inclination might lead them to do,
and thus exhaust the soil entirely, it
would rob the next generation and be-
come a bar to human existence. But
nature has so arranged as to give US
timely warning of decreasing fertility,
and long before we arrive at total soil
exhaustion we reach the point Of un-
profitable cultivation, and when we
have cropped our lands till their fer
tility has been reduced to minimum.
Dame Nature has cautiously kept back
lin the great storehouse of the soil
plant-food for generations to come. It
ia this resource. thus kept back inert
and unavailable at present. that is the
saving clause in the construction Of our
soils.

MOBBED BY COLLEGE BOYS.
Taylor University Students Maltreat
an Editor.

Waco, Texas, Oct. 4-W. c. Brann, ed
itor of Branns Iconoclast, was the vic
tim of a mob of students from Taylor
University, a Baptist institution, yes
terday afternoon. Mr.. Brann was sitting
in his publishing house when four of
the students called him to the door,
seized and thrust him into a hack, which
was rapidly driven to the college campus.
His captors were armed with revolvers.
At the campus a mob of 200 students
were gathered, a majority of whom were
armed. They seized Mr.. Brann, pulled
him about and threatened to shoot him.
Finally a rope was produced and cries
of chang him. arose on all sides.
Mr.. Brann, under threats of death, was
compelled to sign a statement declaring
that an article appearing in the October
number of the Iconoclast, and rejecting
on Taylor University, was untrue, and
further agreeing that he would leave
town.
This article was the cause of the action
of the students. Great excitement has
been caused by the incident, and crowds
are discussing it in the streets. The ac-
tion of the mob is generally condemned,
and judging from the expressions heard
it is thought the matter is not at an end.
Mr. Brann declares that he cannot be
driven from the city and will continue
his publication here.
