SPRING IN NOTTOWAY.
The Farmers Are Very Busy-Too
Much Dry Weather

CREWE, VA, March 24-(Special.)-
! Though this is the 9th day of March
| and the equinoctial season at that, the
mercury has been registering 50 degrees
in the shade. Peach-trees are in full
bloom and all vegetation is at least two
weeks In advance of any year previous
TO this. Winter wheat and oats are so
far advanced that there is great danger
of their being killed if we should have
our usual April frost. Farmers are COM
planning about the lack of rain. The
ground is unusually dry for this season
Of the year. The water in the city reser-
voir is lower than ever known before in
March. Gardeners are busily engaged I'm
planting seed and preparing the ground
for later seeding Farmers are taking
advantage Of this beautiful weather, and
getting things in ship-shape, and are
looking forward with the hope of an
unusually good crop year. as they say
this is more like the spring of 1865 minus
the RAIN than any time since then. Con-
tractor c. w. Hancock is pushing the
large roiler-mill TO completion very
rapidly, and in a few months he expects

A GERM OF JUSTICE.

Faculty OF Medicine and still member
OF the Academy OF Sciences and Professor
at the E,cole Polytechnique. Paris wal
subpoenaed az a witness on M. Zola's sid,
In the recent trial of the novelist. on
the stand he gave II as his opinion that
the famous writer had done quite right
In publishing his letter OF accusation
against the Etat Major. He added that
both NJ. lola and Captain Dreyfuo were
completely unknown to him. These re-
marks aroused great resentment among
the army officers, many of whom had
been pupils at the Polytechnic, and con-
sequently OF Professor Grimaux, and that
evening in the corridors OF the Palais de
Justice. when the Professor offered his
hand TO some OF these gentlemen, they
refused TO take 1t. and turned their
backs on him. Nor did the matter end
with this bit Of social persecution. The
Minister OF War, in whose hands are the
direction of the Polytechnic School and
the nominations of the professors. sus-
pended the Professor from Office.
But, according to the London Lancet,
Professor Grimaux's revenge and vindi-
cation were not long delayed. At q re-
cent meeting Of the Society of Biology.
as soon as Professor Grimaux made his
appearance, Professor Charles Rlchet
rose and made a little speech. He re-
minded the members that it was the GUS
tom in that society to congratulate any
member who had recently attained any
distinction or decoration, or had been
nominated to any important post. He
therefore thought they ought to con-
graduate Professor Grimaux on account
OF his suspension, for it was an honor
to him, as sign Of the independence and
dignity Of his character. Professor
irimaux, who was much affected, ex- |
pressed his thanks, and the society voted |

A SOUTHERN VIEW

The South is not clamoring for wa
whether or no. but II tells the Presiden
and Congress that when the exigenc,
arises the country may rely upon us t
do our duty enthusiastically and fear
lessly.
Other sections of the Union might
rroht largely by furnishing ships
armor, guns, camp equipage, &c. 10
the government. but the share Of that
business that would fall to us would
be hardly worth mentioning On the
other hand, active hostilities would in
terfere with our commerce. and be any
thing but advantageous to our export
trade in cotton and tobacco.
Furthermore, the South knows much
of the realities of war. We have had
little experience with it's gSamour, with
It's proft-taking, and its pension-reaping.
but we are intimately acquainted with
its horrors. Well we know what an in
Suitable. blood-cravlng monster 1t is. But
for all that, when, If ever, these United
States sound "a call to arms, they will
find the South ready to do its full share
In furnishing men and money TO sustain
the national cause.
War feeling has been of gradual
growth with US. Ours are conserva-
tive people, and we have turned the mat
ter over in our minds calmly and thought
iully The hard times have not made
our masses favor quarrel Gust for a
change" There is no such spirit Of I'M
rest here as seeks relief in the tumult
land upheaval of battle. but we are alive
to the fact that on our southern border
there Is neighbor whose brawllng and
outchering disturb our peace and keen
US in state of anxious suspense. while
the suffering there moves our hearts n
pity and puts shame upon our age. Such
being the condition of affairs, our people
are longing to see some action on the
part of our government which will point
the way TO a restoration of TRANQUILITY
TO this country and put a stop TO the
starvation and death which are stalking |
abroad in Cuba.
We much fear that the resources of |
diplomacy and the virtues of patience J
have been exhausted, and that other ana |
more positive measures must be resorted |
the conclusion of the leaders of botb |
parties at Washington. The conferences
that have taken place at the White
House Indicate that the President. is
seeking the support Of Republicans and
democrats alike, and that it will be
given him.
A policy upon which all can aeree1
must have much to recommend II. for
political opponents do not readily dron
their differences. 1t is only in great
crises that party lines are obliterated
And so we may fairly assume that II the
president succeeds in eniistlng the sup
port OF the Democrats, Republicans. ard
Populists in the policy he is about 10
formulate, the crisis is real, the neces.
'ity urgent. and his plan reasonable.
And so we await developments. hoping
