DANGER TO ORANGE GROVES.

Much apprehension is felt among the
orange growers of South Florida as to the
safety of their orange trees if the cold
snap comes on now. Owing to the warm
weather all the trees are budding and the
sap is coming up into the trees. If a
freeze should come and the trees are not
properly protected the losses would be
heavy. The orange growers are depending
upon the government warnings for the
cod snaps, and are watching matters
closely.

Steamer Louise, owing to the | arge
quantity of cottonseed from the islands

Bluffton route. The Louise will make two
or three trips on the Beaufort run and

A FINE EXAMPLE FOR FARMERS.

Quitman Advertiser: Mr.. Ed. J. Young,
one of Brooks county's most prominent
farmers, has set an example which it
would be well for others IN this section
10 follow. Mr.. Young, on Friday last,
sold to the Walker Mercantile Company,
of this city, 140OO pounds of meat and
5000 pounds of lard at SC per pound. the
amount paid foots up the neat little sum
of 1880. Mr. Young still has an abund-
ant supply of meat and lard to run his
plantation this year, besides having a
fine drove of breeders. The above figures
would give the impression that Mr..
Young had devoted his time exclusively to
hog raising, but in addition to this, he
has made ten bales of cotton to the
mule, and his stock will not want for
corn or oats.

has bought the Union Point and White

At Pennington the projected extension

Tennille News: Monday morning party
of Central surveyors came up from States

b. & P. extension. They went over to
Sandersville where they are going over
the route to Sparta. In the party were
the two sons of President Egan of the

story as told in the above paragraph
which is going the rounds of the press.

Those who are inclined to compare
disparagingly to the latter the sim
plicity attending the Inauguration Of
Jefferson and the pomp and display
attached to the ceremony IF last Mon
day should remember that the United
States of Jefferson and the United
States of Mckinley are entirely differ
emit. When Jefferson tied his horse
to a tree while being sworn in, this
was a good deal of a one horse coun-
try, Notwithstanding all u boasting
to the contrary, while today it is the
greatest, richest, largest and most
powerful nation on earth. It is emil
nently fitting that an Inauguration Of
today should be more imposing than it
was a century ago. Equally fitting
will it be that the president of a GEN.

WHERE IT HURTS.

Aside from the evil effects it may
have upon the insurgents in prompting
further opposition to the government,
the Hoar amendment to the Spooner
amendment will also have another and
probably worse and more lasting effect
on the Philippines. Under the terms
of the measure as it became a law the
operation of franchises is limited to
one year after the institution of a per-
manent civil government. This limi-
tation will undoubtedly work as a de-
terrent to the investment of capial in
the islands and consequently will re-
tard their commercial and industrial
development. It will also prevent the
employment Of many natives and keep
them IN idleness and deprive them Of
the opportunity to acquire habits of
industry and thrift and to that extent
will be a factor against ~pacification
and the establishment of an orderly
and we'll regulated condition of So
ciety. For commercial and political
reasons the president was opposed to
the bill as finally submitted to him for
his signature, but declined to veto it
at SO late . day in the session and &C.
copied it's provisions as the best that
could be done then. Nobody OBJ
ject to reasonable measures intended
to prevent spoliation of the islands,
but instead of barring capital and en-
terprises calculated to be to their ben
eft the opposite course should be
pursued.

that feeling in others, he might as

THOMAS F.

Death is an obliterater of political
division. and the hand that seals in
lasting silence the lips also removes
the bars that have divided the living.
Past political differences are forgotten
when men assemble to pay tribute to
the memory of one who in life may
have opposed them, but whose opposi-
tion was the result of honest convic-
tion and a mind guided by the right rs
it understood the right. For that
reason the press aud people of the
state, regardless of politics, are today
weaving oral gar]ands and depositing
them on the bier Of Thomas F. Court
ney, late senator from Silver Bow
county. Mr. Courtney was a rare
man; one in whom the strongest con-
victlons, hawless manhood and stanch-
est integrity blended with a DISPOSE
ton as cheerful and bright as the sun
that shone over his head. Firm in
his W beliefs, yet tolerant of others
of opposite mind, he never lost his
serenity of temper or allowed a word to
escape him that might give pain to
another. Gifted by nature with a
mind that absorbed and retained
knowledge and spurred on by it to the
achievement Of a higher and better
career than his early environment gave
promise of, he rose from the level of
a boy Shaving in the coal mines of
Pennsylvania to the dignity and prom
inence of an honored and respected
business man and law maker of one of
the younger states. AS he was honest
and pure in his private life, so was he
faithful and true in public life and
carried with him to the grave the re-
spect and esteem of all. Friends and
relatives have lost III him a genial,
wholesouled companion and the state
one of it's ablest and best citizens. May
his memory ever remain as green as
| the pines clothing the mountains of
the stale he loved so we'll and served
so faithfully.

WHAT THE CUBAN TERMS SIGNIFY

The reconst1 uction, to be lasting,
must he right and thorough. The
colonial failures of other countries
and unhappy experiences within our
OWL at p%recipitating results, after the
civil war, must admonish US to move
with sagacity and with honor, and,
therefore, to move without hurry,
without impulse and without fear.
The conditions as framed are a con-
tribution to history Of the first import
ance. They stamp this year with sig
nificance in the annals of the race.
Statesmen, moralists and patriots will
unite in approving and in welcoming
them as an asset Of honor, of order, of
justice, of freedom, Of humanity and
of righteousness to the credit of the
United States. They are a contribu-
tion to the moral worth, to the politi.
cal sense, to the International health
and to the best civilization of the
world. Our republic maintains its
promises with dignity, decision and
equity. He is indeed unworthy of itf

that they are to be extended owe fur

officers OF the newly organized county

bition by paying attention to the men
who are unlawfully trapping beaver
down that way. The county attorney
undoubtedly has a copy of the Mon
tana code and will probably take
pleasure in showing to the sheriff that
section under which he is authorized
to act in the matter.

In support of the demand for a
sugar tax is cited the condition into
which the business of refining has
fallen. Mention is made of one city
where a quarter of a century ago
fourteen refineries were in successful
operation. while today it has only four
and they are no longer profitable as
business ventures.
But the sugar refiners are not the
only ones demanding protection
against foreign encroachments, and SO
serious has the situation become that

following to say: "The people are
tired of theoretical objections to GER
tain import duties which existed in
the golden days Of Mr.. Gladstone's
free trade. but whether the govern

jority, will be able to break down,
even as regards sugar alone, the prin-
ciples of free trade is q matter upon
which their own supporters, are in
