A man seldom cries ont when hit in

hit in the breast or shoulder, up go
their hands and they get heavy fall;
II IN the leg or foot or arm, they fall

shot through the head or heart that he
comes down. He may be fatally
wounded, but hobbies out of the fight

ing head until loss Of blood brings him
down. The horse that loses his rider
and is unwounded himself will con-
tinue to run with his set of tours I'M
til some movement throws him out
Then he goes galloping here and there,
neighing with fear and alarm, but he
will not leave the field. In his rae
ing about he may get among the dead
and wounded, but he will dodge them
if possible, and, in any case, leap over
them. When he has come upon three
or four other riderless steeds, they fall
in and keep together, as if for mutual
protection, and the "rally'' on the
bugle may bring the whole of them
into ranks in a body.-Buffalo Horse

Valuable Liuim emf,

Let every farmer when he butchers
his beef be sure and save the gall as it
makes one of the most valuable lini-
ments for man or beast. Put gall In a
bottle large enough to hold alcohol
enough to cut the gall, set in any warm
place, let stand three days, shake it a
few times. and it is ready for use. Good
for burns, cuts or bruises of any kind
If in hot weather, apply liniment at
once to the fresh wound. It needs no
bandage, as a fly will not come near.

AERIAL WARSHIPS FOR UNCLE SAM.
Appropriation of $4,000 to Experiment with
Flying Machines.

The Board of Ordnance and Fortifi-
cation, Washington, has decided to in
stitute an investigation of the posi-
bilities of flying machines for recon-
NOTHING purposes and as engines OF
destruction in time of war.
At the last meeting of the board
$4,000 of the fund at the disposal Of
the board was appropriated for the
purpose of experimenting.
So impressed were the United States
authorities with the advantages which
might result from the employment Of
air machines during the operations of
the late war that Secretaries Long
and Alger last summer selected
committee to report upon the sub
ject. This fact is not generally
known. The commission made a ia
vorab1e report upon the desirability of
experimentation.
Professor Langley of the Smithso-
MAN Institution, the inventor OF the
aeroplane appeared before the board
and gave his expert opinion in favor
of experimentation. He explained the
problems of aerostatics involved,
the successful fight Of his own inven-
ton, and the progress made in Ger
many and France, where he went last
summer to investigate and study the
inventions of others working along
similar lines.
Professor Langley is extremely con-
sentative, but he is confident of the I'LL
innate success of a practical flying
machine.

Keeping Apples,

ALI bruised apples will rot, and it
will pay to examine the barrels, so as
to discard all that are affected, as a
single rotten apple in barrel will
gradually affect the whole. In hand
ling the apples when picking them over
care must be exercised not to injure
them while so doing. Amy apple with
broken skin is liable to rot They
should be kept in a temperature just
above the freezing point.

A Postal Joke.

A West Slider recently approached a
certain postoffice official. His face
was serious; so was his voice.

official.
''Why, we've got carrier over our

s'Why, he carries mails all day, and
then has an extra male to carry at

The official looked puzzled.

The official grinned.

said; '.it's just a short route, you

Falling OFF in Milk.

Many dairymen are disappointed at
the beginning of winter because the
COWS fall off in milk. This is due usual
ly to the sudden change from green to
dry food. Any change made should
be gradual, by feeding dry food before
winter sets in, increasing the dry food
daily until the COWS are given the larger
proportion of it. When ensilage can
be used the shrinkage is less than
without it's use.

Castor Beans as a Crop.

The castor bean is quite commonly
planted in many yards for it's fine foil
age, which produces among our native
flowers a fine tropical effect. Even here
if planted early many of it's seeds will
ripen. But in some of the States, as
Missouri and Arkansas, the castor
bean is planted for it's seeds, which are
ground and the oil expressed. The plant
requires very rich land to make sue
cess of the crop.

Cider Ponaace.

Notwithstanding all that has been
said of the value of cider pomace as a
cattle food, but little use is made of
it. Cows will eat it, but farmers gen.
orally believe that it does not increase
the flow of milk. and that the cows
need just as much other food with it
as without it.

Carbonic Acid Gas in Soils.

The air in all soils contains a much
larger proportion of carbonic acid gas
than does that in the atmosphere
above 1t is largest, Of course, in soils
that are full Of vegetable matter
whose decomposition liberates it. This
gas has an important effect in keeping
mineral fertility soluble. So far as soil
is concerned, it is the best solvent
known. This is the reason why phos-
plate does so much more good on soils
full of vegetable matter than on a
sandy or gravelly soil that is nearly
bare of vegetable matter.

will enable them to bloom profusedly

PHASES OF PATERNALIsM

IF there is any one thing in politices
the Messenger has steadily pursued
above all others, it is it's invincible OPP
position to all measures, plans and
propositions that look to robbing the
people of their original powers and EN-
qarging in proportion the ~stupendous
powers of the General Government.
We have never once failed to fight in
1hese columns any measure that took
on what we thought to be the paternal
features. The Blair bill, a most infa-
NOUS thing, the fads of populists as to
government ownership of railroads,
felegraphs, telephones, steamboat lines,

hend because loaded with c~entralizing
power and full of menace and hostility
TO the people. Whenever a President
has dared to wade a sovereign COM

Governor to do so, the Messenger has
openly, squarely denounced 1t, when
thousands of other Southern neWSpa-
pers remained silent or applauded. the
.damning and dangerous deed. WASH

Chargad With BigamY

Charleston, S. c., March 3O.-Hunter E.
Sharp, a Well known man about town,
was arrested here tonight at the instance
of DR.. J. l.. Miller, of Fitzgerald. The
charge against Sharp is bigamy. DR..
Miller's only daughter, Bessie, came to
Charleston some months ago to be treat
ed for some trouble with her eyes. Sharp.
under the name of w. c. Wilson, paid
her marked attention, subsequently fol-
lowing her to Fitzgerald, where he mar
ried her on February 3rd. He remained
at her fathers house with her for some
weeks, but then. without her fathers
knowledge, took her to Macon and then
brought her here, arriving last night. The
girl was sent to a boarding house, while
Sharp went to the Charleston hotel.
At the boarding house the girl was told
that Sharp was already married. having
a wife and two children living here.
She taxed him with it at once and then
hearing that her father was in town,
looking for her. she went to him. The
authorities were notified at once and
Sharp was arrested and locke up. DR..
Miller is a we'll known physician in Fitz-
gerald and his daughter is a pretty girl
of about Is years of age.

FRIDAY, APRIL !, 1898.
~Mc KINLEY misunderstood"

The cry now is that Mckinley is mis-
understood. His plans n purposes
are restated, and he is going to do tins
and that-provided. But If he Is not
unfaithful to his position Of trust and
power why are 50 many OF his party IN
n House Cand doubtless in the Senate)
distrustful Of him, and in a state OF
positive revolt. How about the want
of confidence in the President and his
cabinet by the Chamber OF commerce
in Cincinnati. 1t does seem that there
is any thing but harmony among the
Mckinley supporters. But If those VINO
are believed to know the Presidents
mind, are to be relied upon, he has not
backed down or lost his grip or become
mentally added, but is as firm as a
rock and fully aware that the deStlnles
of fate are in his hand. 1T is repeated
now, after having been once superse-
ded by another report, that he had
"some days ago made a peremptory de-
mand upOn Spain to put an end 1mme-
diately to hOstilities in Cuba, to re-
lease the re~concentradOs n to permit
them to return to their homes and re-
sumo their several occupations unrnO-
Iested." While war is certainly not to
be desired ever as am abstract propo-
sition, but a cOwardly retreat after
bluster and preparation is not rellshed
by Americans generally. If the Pres1-
dent does not take hold of the matter
at issue in a firm manner he Will be
relieved not long hence of any farther
responsibility in the handling OF such a
delicate and important issue.
That the Maine was destroyed by the
Spaniards is the belief of ninety-nine
hundreths of the American people.
That the war upon the Cubans is con-
Quoted with ferocity and barbarity no
one cam fail to believe. That it ought
to end soon is what most men of sense
and humanity believe to be 1mpera-
tive. Every subsequent development
but confirms the first impression and
deepens the conviction that the Span
iards in Havana are quite capable of
perpetrating such a shocking deed as
marked the destruction Of the Ameri-
can cruiser.
The several resolutions introduced in
the two Houses looking to war will go
to the committees. "a few days or hours
may show their fate. They may be
buried in committee rooms or one or
more may he reported upon favorably.
There will hardly be long delay in the
action of the committees. The country
is i'm no humor to brook lodging or de-
lazy. But this is a Government of Con-
gressional Committees strictly. Re
member that Congress is stronger and
dent, we are glad to know.
