The rapid growth of the protection
sentiment in the South is illustrated
by letter received from a Virginia
Democrat published in the New York
Sun, in which he declares that the
Wilson law was an aggregation Of
iniquities and that the only objection
to the Dingley law is that it does not
go far enough in the interests of pro-
lection.

Crimson Glover.

A contributor to The National Stock
man, writing from Pennsylvania con
corning crimson clover, says: lit gives
no promise Of coming into general use
even next the borders of New Jersey
and Delaware. The chief trouble is the
uncertainty of a catch or of good fall
growth. The seedlings fail too often to
let it become the reliance of the farmers
as a winter cover crop. In portions Of
Delaware and New Jersey it does finely,
but in Pennsylvania and Ohio crimson
clover will not displace other manurial
crops to any great extent. I"

ADDITIONAL ARGUMENTS
In Favor of Better County Roads.
Pertinent Suggestions.

To the Editor Of Herald.
Ny DEAR SIR: Will you bear
little more on the road question:
After considerable consultation, find
the sentiment in the Opequou district
cemented,. united, and in hopeful ex-
pectency that the County Commits
sioners or Court will give this dis
trict some material evidence of their
appreciation of the necessities and
advantages of a good macadamized
road from Martinsburg to Greens.
burg and Swan Pond Should the
authorities be favorable, we would
ask them to issue ten thousand dol
lars worth of Berkeley county bonds,
at four per cent interest, to be ex-
empt from State, county and munich
pal taxes; then put sufficient addition
al tax for road purposes on our prop
erty, as to create a fund sufficient to
pay the interest on the bonds, and
five hundred dollars on the bonded
debt annually. Let the tolls on the
road go to keeping the road in repair.
In this way we will get good roads
and the county will eventually be re-
leased from very great burden Of
taxation. We will have the advan-
tages of the roads. The money will
be spent among and paid to all the
people. The whole county and
towns, and city OF Martinsourg will
see, feel and reap the advantages of
such a system.
In conclusion Of this letter l will
state the views as expressed to me by
a resident OF this district, born and
reared in it. He says "Tf you will
go to Martinsburg on Sunday with
me, l will pick out every carriage,
horse, buggy and set of harness from
the Opequon by the mud covering,
gathered on the roads going to your
city. And hardly set of harness is
exempt from string, with which it
had to be strengthened along the
road. We have been to the court, or
members OF the court for years, but to
no benefit, The money appropriated
by them, to be expended for the bet
terment of our roads, would better
have been left in the hands of the
taxpayers. The only real good done
the roads in our section, was done by
individual enterprise" We still ask
you, 1.-The Herald man" to bear with
us and give the just cause your valu-
able assistance. With thanks for
your kindness, hope help will come
to so just and necessary an undertake
ing.

overheating Manure.

"Fire fanging' of manure is destruc-
tive, and although it is a well known
occurrence in manure heaps some farm
ers do not try to prevent or suppress it,
AS the Philadelphia Record explains, it
is simply overheating of the manure
due to rapid decomposition, a large pro-
portion of the ammonia being liberated
and lost. When fire fanging occurs,
drive a crowbar into the heap in several
places and pour in cold water. What Is
better, wet the manure and turn the
heap over, adding dry earth and plaster,
placing the coarse portions Of the manure
in Che center. Cold water absorbs ann
monia and prevents its escape, and I'M
less it is used much of the volatile am-
monia will escape while the manure is
being handled. The heap should not be
kept wet, however, but slightly damp
which will promote decomposition, but
oyerheating may always be controlled
by cold water.

who is in earnest, and the result is sure
to be good. The text of this article is
plain simple statement that proves itself
in the readers own mind without argu-
ment. The text is GOOD health is bet
ter than great riches.'
Without health nothing really matters
very much. A hacking cough takes all
the beauty out of landscape or sunset.
Erysipe1as or eczema will spoil the enjoy
ment of sprightly conversation, of beau
tiful concert, of a wonderful painting.

very small amount of money will make
him healthy and keep him healthy.
Most all bodily troubles start in the
digestive or respiratory organs. It is
here that improper living first makes an
opening for disease The development
differs as constitutions and temperaments
differ. The causes are almost identical.
To get at the root of the matter is simple
enough if you start right.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is medicine for the whole body. It
works through the digestive organs on
all the others. ,-.
It cures the first thing it comes to and
after that, the next. It puts health in
place of disease in the stomach, and from
the vantage ground thus gained, it
reaches every fiber of the body and drives
disease before it - Indigestion, liver
troubles, kidney complaint, biliousness,
skin and scalp diseases, sa1t-rheum, letter,
eczema, and all the troubles caused BY
impure blood.

MONDAY bell ring, was praying silently
for missions, he asked: Why don't you
answer me, Auntie Mamie?' and when
told II was Il O'Clock, the time to pray
for the missionaries, and that meant
ministers like his uncle, and workers like
those whom he had seen come to his
home, and the little children who did not
know about Christmas and Easter, the
whole thought was grasped, and he never
forgot from that day the u o'clock hour,
but when he heard the bell ring would
stop wherever he was and call out
'Auntie Mamie. do you hear the bell? 1t

asked what he said when he prayed, he
replied, %. 1 say God bless Bishop Coke

missionaries all over the world

night. What can be done for Gods chill

The first address was on the subject of

Bishop Barker, of Olympia. who was a
former rector of St Paurs Church in
this city The Pacific Coast. according TO
the bishop comes before the board Of
missions in a peculiar situation. The
work done by the church west of the
Rocky Mountains for the past twenty
years is ahead of the average of the
American church in every particular. In
twenty years. he said, the clergy has in
creased 60 per cent; the communicates
have multiplied five times. They are four
times ahead in baptisms. The Sunday
school children have multiplied three
times.
Hundreds of communicates have no
doubt drifted West from Eastern dio-
ceses, but that has nothing 10 do with
the children, declared Bishop Barker.

THE twenty-three years that have rolled

his sustaining grace, we have been en-
abled to realize that though the difficult

Dean O'Meara spoke of the growth of the

toned the fact that the Canadian church
had been able in a measure TO repay the
debt of gratitude which 1t owed TO the

service and schools in the Yukon districts
of Alaska.
Justice Herbert S. Mcdonald was the
last speaker of the Canadian deputation
He spoke briefly but feelingly of the close
relations between the sister churches. and
said that as a layman or the Church of
England in Canada he felt ii a privilege
and an honor to be the bearer Of the
greetings of his church to the American
church. Justice Mcdonald declared the
United States Government was entering
upon its destiny of colonization. and de-
clared it to be destiny which the Anglo
Saxon race could not escape or shirk. He
commented favorably on the closer rela-
tions of the two English-spealdng nations
and predicted that the bond of union
would continue to be strengthened into a
more perfect and tangible relation.

The Rev. DR.. Dix followed Justice Nc
Donald, renewing the assurances OF well
come which Bishop Doane had made. The
Church OF England, the Church Of Can

were one in heart, one in faith, and the
