WHAT TERRELL HAS DONE;
GOOD ADVICE TO FARMERS

To the Editor of The Journal:
l read a statement in a country weekly
today that is worth the consideration OF
every farmer in Georgia. Mr.. E. ]. SEES
sions, of gronwood, Ca, Terrell county,
has sold 66 bushels of peas for 500. about
Terrell, has shipped, through her grocery
company, 1850 bushels of peas, receiving
$1.S5 per bushel. These peas. believe,
are of the clay and speckled variety and
make a very marketable and profitable
crop.
In this connection it might not be amiss
to say that Terrell, note in the same pa
per, has 5000 to lend.
Several shipments of fine porkers have
been made from Dawson within the past
few months, netting the shippers hand
some profits. But another index to the
healthy financial condition of the county
and her citizens. Cotton took another
squirt this week, so the market reports
declare, but let 1t squirt. 1 predict
that this is going to be a hard year from
a financial standpoint. The signs of the
times are Indicative of as much now. The
price of cotton need not be Of much con-
Germ to the farmer who raises hogs, grows
peas and makes his bread at home. In
this political year. while the mellihuous(g
cant of the politician is heard on all sides.
while the sun still smiles on our red old
hills and the grass grows green in the
meadows. let the farmers pay close atten-
ton to their farms and plant marketable
crops.
Clay and speckled peas. ordinary Geor-
gia hogs and fields of waving wheat and
yellow corn mean more to the farmers
than the so-called high priced cotton
and all the loud shouts of the politicians.

Here are the lines a correspondent asked
for in a recent issue OF The Journal:
They sang OF love, and not Of fame,
Forgot was Britain's glory,
Each heart recalled a different name
But all sang Annie Laurie"
And then Immediately succeeding the
above comes these exquisite verses:
Voice after voice caught up tho song,
Until the tender passion
Rose like an anthem rich and strong
Their battle-ere confession.
'sDear girl. her name he could not speak.
Yet as the song grew louder,
Something on the soldiers cheek
Washed OF the stains OF powder
"And once again fire Of hell
Rained from the Russian quarters,
With scream OF shot and burst Of shell
And believing Of the mortars.
And Irish Nora's eyes are dim
For q singer dumb and gorys
And English Mary weeps for him
Who sang OF Aunt Laurie"
This touching ballad is by Bayard Tay-
Tor. and commentaries in undyipg pathos
an incident in the Crimean war, when
on the eve Of battle some one among the
allied forces cried out "Give us song
Il will pay any one to get and memorize
the whole poem.

Waking with His Head.

CE3y Gov. w. o. Bradley, OF Ky.)
Sometime during the past year a viii case
came on for trial at Lexington, Col. B
representing the contestants and Ex-senator
b the propounders OF the Will. The fact
that these two gentlemen were 70 cross swords
naturally drew a large crowd.
II seems that the testator had a peculiar
movement Of his head, which he never mani
tested except when walking. An attempt,
among other things was made by expert testi-
mony 10 show that his mind unsound
bv reason Of disease and that the peculiar
movement OF the head strongly indicative
OF the presence Of the disease.
Asked Col B.. after proving by the Wit
ness that he was physician, well acquainted
with the deceased: did you ever notice any
peculiar movement of the testator when he
was walking with his head?'
Failing 70 accentuate properly the latter
mart OF the question, this led Senator b. TO
quickly turn and say: Why, Colonel, you
surely do not mean to say that he walked with
his head" The remark ELECTED considerable
mirth hut ceased quickly when Col b. re-
sponded: We'll Senator, you surely do not
mean to say that he was walking without his
head" .

PRESS OF THE COUNTRY ON
TILLMAN-M'LAURlN ROW
Disaracing Their State.
Columbia State.

Columbia State.
There are two things about this sem
ate "scrap" that we do not understand:
The first is why Senator McLaurin
should turn pale to the lips" and "trem-
BILE with emotion" and denounce on the
floor Of an august senate as "a wilful and
deliberate lie," a charge which has been
made against him so. often on the free
forum of his own state and among
somewhat pugnacious populace without
his receiving ii in any such manner. The
second is why Senator Tillman should de-
velop a "tiger-like ferocity'' in the senate
at being called liar when in time past
he has repeatedly accepted that epithet
on the South Carolina stump with the
gentle meekness of a lamb or the lofty
serene repose of statesman. Surely
Senator McLaurin knows that his col
league has repeatedly charged him in
South Carolina with selling out to the
Republican party for the federal patron
age-yet he now treats that charge as If
II were a new and sudden affront to be
resented instantly, even to the destruction
of the dignity Of the senate. And surely
Senator TiIlman remembers-to tempt his
memory no farther-that when he was
from u to IA years younger and when the
blood ran more hotiy in his veins he failed
to Jump with the ferocity of a tiger on
the two newspaper men who to his face
called him a liar-one at Blackville in 1855
and the other at Marion in 1890.
We are constrained to declare our re-
greet that Senators Tillman and McLau-
rim did not carry out their agreement of
last summer to resign their seats and ap-
peal to the people of South Corolina for
vindication And we think we can say
for the white voters of the state without
regard to faction that they would be glad
to have an opportunity now afforded them
to vote on the fitness of Benjamin r. Till
man and John L. McLaurin to represent
them in the senate of the United States.

Kick Them Both Out.
Macon Telegraph.

Macon Telegraph.
The disgraceful scenes enacted in the
senate yesterday were enough to bring a
blush of shame TOT the cheek of every Am
erican, not to say every southern man and
Democrat.
PEELED from that body.
But 1t is just to say that Tillman was
the aggressor. He first made a charge,
without any provocation against his col
league involving moral turpitude, Nc
Eaurin having previously denied the
the charge which Tillman reiterated. ad-
dressing another.
We have NO apologies TO offer for any
mistakes that McLaurin may have made,
but whatever those mistakes, whatever
the motives that may be behind them, Till
mans repeated bullying; his coarse. con-
ceited jibes and jeers sink himself only to
q very low level.

Allowed Too Much Latitude.

Chattanooga Times.
The unfortunate and disgraceful scene in
the senate chamber, on Saturday, the
South Carolina senators being the actors,
was quite as much the fruit of 1axity in
enforcing the rules, as it was the out
growth of one senator's innate and erup-
tive ruffianism, and another's lack of self
control and adroitness in parrying an at
tempt to fasten upon him slanderous
charge. Senator Tillman's speeches are
always full of matter that ought to cause
Him to be called to order and lectured by
the presiding officer until he could appear
to be at least decent, If not gentleman.

To the Editor of The Journal:
Several throughout the state have ex-
pressed through the columns of The Jour

schools, especially our country schools.

desirable they should be. and some are
poor indeed: but we have sufficient rea-
sons for believing. and do believe. verify.
they are accomplishing a great good. are
approaching the ends for which they were

not harbor a thought of dispensing with
them, nor Withdrawing from them the

To Break Balky Horse.
Farm and Home.

Farm ana f1Ome.
Where a horse balks, no matter how
badly he sulks or how ugly he is, do not
beat him, do not throw sand in his ears;
don't use a rope on the front legs, or even
burn straw under him. Go quietly and pet
him on the head a moment; take a ham,
mer, or even pick up a stone in the street;
tell the driver to sit still, take the reins
and hold them quietly while you lift up
either front foot. Give each nail a light
tap, and a good smart tap on the frog;
drop his foot quickly, and then chirp to
him to go. In 80 cases out of 100 the horse
will go right along about his business, but
the driver must keep his lines taut and not
Jerk him back.

The country could bear with calm for
titude a fight between Senators Tillman
and McLaurin-any kind of fight, with
any kind of an outcome, however, quieting
to either or both.
But the country cannot without shame
and anger see the chamber of its highest
legislative body turned into a prizering.
What the senate owes to itself in the
premises is a matter which will be ex-
haustively discussed, no doubt. What the
senate owes to the country is as plain as
a policeman's duty when a street row is
in progress.

SALT AND PEPPER.
Many Think They Are only of Value
In Seasoning Food.

Salt and pepper. as generally consid-
cred, are OF value in bringing out the
favor of the food to which they are
added. That they have any value from
n health standpoint is not so generally
recognized. You may know that
lump OF salt is good for horse, but
you do not stop to consider how impor-
tant salt Is for your own well being.
In eastern countries the condiments,
such as pepper. are used to profusion
In all foods. Gastric troubles common
enough in other countries are conspic-
uously absent and the free use or
pepper has much to do with that fact.
Salt aud pepper work against fermen-
tatlon. When the stomach is out OF or
der. or, as the common saying is. upset,
IL is In n state Of fermentation.
A certain very wise physician VINO
has advanced to the point where drugs
seem the unimportant thing and COM
mon sense the important in making the
sick well is advocating the use of pep
per and salt even in glass OF milk.
II improves the favor TO a remarkable
degree, a fact you can prove to your
own satisfaction by taking two glasses
of milk. one in its original simplicity
the other changed by the addition OF
pinch of salt and dash of pepper,
then sin n little of each. The chances
are that you will prefer the seasoned
milk. Besides improving the flavor
and overcoming the tendency toward
fermentation the pepper will pracu-
coIly disable any microbes that may
be floating in the fluids. Thus the gas
tric Juices viii perform their perfect
work OF changing microbes to food.
one of the best remedies for dls-
turbed digestion Is hot water 10 which
have been added salt and paprika. Ii
taken a full hour and a half BEFORE
breakfast, cupful of this very palata-
HE drink will completely cleanse the
stomach and leave it in good eondltioh.
Out of a hundred persons selected ut
ra ndom Il is no exaggeration to say
that eighty eat too much and also that
these same eighty fail Of proper masu-
cation. Weakened digestions are OF
course the direct result OF overeauns
and insufficient mastication, ana WeaA-
ened digestion means underIhlheu .!
toms At the extremes of life, youth
and old age. it is wisdom 10 make 'ne
dtet mucb the same. A child's nourlsh-
,nant sbonld be very simple, so in OLD
age it should grow palmer anu p''iie''

Dining Customs.

A student of social customs has call
ed attention recently to the fact thai
man eats today practically the SAINT
viands he did in ancient times. How
ever far back we push our researches
the foundations of all dishes are the
same-the same birds, the same meats
the same fish-though perhaps the lis'
of the anclents' fish is somewhat more
extensive. Modern man has forgotten
the flavor of the porpoise or dogfish
and in the north, at all events, has
learned to shudder at the suggestion
of a dish of octopus. The meats, the
courses, the principals and in some
cases even the names remain the same
In spite of Alexandra Dumas asser
ton that napkins were first used in
the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries
they must have been of much more
ancient origin. since the Roman cuisine
necessitated their use much earlier.
Giles Rose, master cook to Charles H.,
gave methods for folding them in va
riety of ways. but the general adop-
ton of forks among the middle classes
did away with the serviette to a great
extent. At dessert. when the cloth
was removed, a bowl of water was
presented to each guest, and this stood
