My northern friend who asked me
to hold up on the negro and let him
go dead has sent mt a clipping from a
Newport paper and says: Here is
a good text for your next letter" 1t
reads as follows: Newport, October
14.-At a meeting of the school COM
mittee to-day, George Ellis and wife
objected to having their son taught
by a colored teacher and said b a If
their son was not admitted to another
school where the teacher was white
they would keep him at home. The
committee refused to change him and
ordered the boy to be arrested as a
truant. The father filed, a plea of not
guilty and the case will go to the high
er court and be tested" They have
compulsory education there. 1t seems
that this teacher is the daughter of
a preacher, who is an American con-
sui at st. Thomas. He is a loyal repuo-
lican and there is politics in it, n
the lily whites are in the minority.
She may be one of the 400 that Wat
terson is troubled about, and so l will
urn over the text to him. The anne
mail hat brought me the tex brought
a letter from my grandson, who is in
the employ of the Westinghouse com
pany. of Pittsburg, and is an electric
engineer, and is now putting down a
plant at Utica. n. Y. He writes that
his contractor has a number of white
men employed, but as labor was scarce
he picked up an idle negro and told
him TO go to work. The white mensre-
belled against this and threatened to
quit, and the negro had to be sent off.
When l was last in Mississippi the bar
Der who shaved me said he came down
from Illinois on account of his health
and was amazed to find white folks
down here ~patronizing negro BARRIERS,
and that if one dared to open a shop
in any town in Illinois he would be
mobbed and run out of the place. Like
Banquo's ghost this race problem will
not down. 1t has as many phases as
there are times and places. Shortly
after the war the Yankee school
marin. hurried down here to educate
the negro, but they soon tired of it
and vent back. Now a negro woman
has gone up there to teach the white
children. That is all right. We don't
care. AS Cobe says: tits all option
AIRY with me-" Now will let the negro
go dead for awhile. 1t will take many
years yet to settle the problem, but
it will be settled. The two races work
together very tremendously in our
town and county and we are reconciled
to the situation. | wish that every
community had as many blessings as
we enjoy. No strikes, nc murders nor
outrages of any kind-no street fights,
no cursing, no cyclones nor floods nor

Portable home for the preacher and

SOME FIGURES TO STUDY.
What Did You Do With Your Part Of
the Corn Fodder Raised
This Year9

In the south were planted last
spring about sixty million acres in
corn. These would average about one
and a half tons 0t stalks per acre at
a low estimate. This would give us
ninety million tons of stalks. If cut
and cured and shredded these would
make ninety million tons of good hay.
In many parts of the country hay
sells at fifteen to twenty dollars per
ton, so we think it is safe to value the
entire output at ten dollars. This
would give us nine hundred million
dollars as the value of the corn stalk
crop of the south for one year. This
is twice the value of the cotton crop,
including the seed. You say this is
too much. We think not. This esti-
mate takes in Virginia, Kentucky,
Tennessee, as well as all the other
cotton-producing states, and we think
is under rather than over the true
area.
We are suffering most of these to
go to waste. We are letting them rot
or burning them. This is a loss that
good farming a not suffer to go o.
Because we did not know the value of
corn stalks a few years since is not a
good reason why we should not take
care of them now that we do know
their value. Past ignorance does not
Justify present and future waste.
A few years since we did not know
the value of the cotton seed. Now no
nan thinks of throwing away his cot
ton seed. But the corn stalks are
worth more than the cotton seed.
If a farmer plants ten acres in cot
ton and ten acres in corn to each
pillow, his cotton seed will be worth
about twenty dollars and his corn
stalks one hundred and fifty dollars,
allowing twenty cents per bushel for
seed and ten dollars per ton for hay.
These figures are SO astonishing
that you can hardly believe them. The
cotton seed per acre is worth about
two dollars, the corn stalks about fif.
teen dollars. The cotton crop aver
ages about one bale to three acres,
or n thousand pounds of seed to
three acres. The farmers do not av-
erage over six dollars per bale for
their cotton seed.
Take the bottom and upland corn
the Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky
and Mississippi bottoms and Texas
corn crops-and we will find over an
average of one and a half tons Of
stalks per acre.
This enormous waste should be
stopped at once. The corn stalks
should be cut and shredded. Shredded
corn for feed is no longer an expert
ment. Its value has been proven by
all kinds of tests. Analysis shows it
to be. among the best hays. Feeding
tests show it to be equal to the aver
age for cattle and horses. Dairy herds
fed exclusively this kind Of hay do
not lose anything in milk or butter
yield, and show improved quality Of
both milk and butter.
Corn stover is better than hulls for
dairy use. The stalks are worth saw
Ing even after the fodder has been
pulled.-Southern CultivatOr. 1

THE ROYAL D~RAFT-HUNTER.
One of the Kings Body Guards Who
Sees That the Royal Chair Ls
Not in IA Draft.

One of the most unique occupations
of to-day is probably that of draft
hunter to royalty, for w believe that
it is followed by only one parsonage
in the kings domains. The gentle
man upon whom this peculiar, but
essential, duty devolves vas installed
therein by the advice of his majesty's
physicians, in the interests of the
kings health, says Stray Stories.
The novel vocation had it's origin
in a very ordinary occurrence. The
king, when prince of Wales, was kept
abnormally busy attending many
state and social functions on behalf
of his aged mother, our late beloved
queen, and it was found that in per-
forming his regal duties on these oc-
casions he frequently contracted Sc
we're chills, owing to the carelessness
OF irresponsible officials, who placed
the royal chair or dais in the direct
line of a penetrating draft from some
door or window adjacent.
The royal physicians, ever solicit
Gus for the health of their august
~bo 81 0ut u W U1oSCI WILL L
majesty everywhere he went, soon
traced the trouble to it's source, and,
deeming prevention better than
cure" advised the adoption of a spe-
cial official, whose specific duty
should be to inspect every place WIS.,
tied by royalty and to make quite
sure that the royal seats were effec-
4sr,aJ- ~-a4oa]41 fr~ -l41u -
treacherous drafts.
1t will be readily understood that
such ap osition as this ian be no
sinecure. The king is one of the
busiest gentlemen in the kingdom.
His imperative engagements connect
ed with state affairs are numerous;
his social engagements are even more
manifold and arduous; and at all
these affairs he is preceded by the
ubiquitous draft hunter, who makes
it his duty to carefully shield his
royal master from possible chills.
The gentleman referred to has long
since become expert in his profession,
all dhis %opportune Intervention has
doubtless spared the king much dis
comfort.
The royal draft hunter, however, is
not a particular favorite with those
who prepare banquets for royalty.
On many a past occasion, after every
thing has been arranged for a festive
function to be honored by the royal
presence, the advent of the draft
hunter has resulted in an irritating
disarrangement of the whole con-
Germ.
At one such banquet in the city a
year or two ago the tables had been
laid in superb style, and preparations
were well advanced in view of Tive
royal visit, when the draft hunter ar
rived on the scene, made a careful
survey of the room, and, finding that
the kings chair had been thought
Iessly placed between two doors, at
once ordered it removed to q remote
part of the chamber.

when I found myself with a bad case of
cafarrh of the head and throat Peruna
was the first thing that I thought of.
And my convictions were not wrong,
for in a few weeks after using Perupa
systematically l wasentirely rid of this
a~ggravating and distressing disease,
catarrh.

runa was for this trouble they would

In Favor of sheep.

It is sometimes asserted that cattle
and sheep require the same amount of
feed per thousand pounds of live
weight. This statement seems not to
be well founded. In some experiments
at the Iowa station the cattle con-
sumed 1876 pounds of dry matter per
thousand pounds live weight against
an average of 29.07 by sheep. Both
sheep and cattle were on full feed.
The sheep made a daily gain of 3.T3
pounds of live weight, and the cattle
2.14. In summing up this comparison
we find that while sheep ate 4S per
cent. more than the cattle they also
gained nearly rs per cent.

Peruna many years ago have been
eager to recommend Peruna to their
friends ever since. This is the way Pc
runa is advertised. 1t advertises itself.
It's merits are it's chief advertisement.
Once cured of SO distressing and exas-
perating a malady as catarrh, it becomes
the duty of every one to pass it along;
to call the attention of those who are
still victims, to a remedy that rarely
fails to cure.

RIOTERS CAPTURED TOWN

Victoria, b. c., Feb. S.-AcCording
to advices from Hangchow. the cap.
tai of Che Kiang. on the 10Th of Jan
uary, more than 1000 vagabonds came
to village situated at a distance oil
about 200 miles from the district city
of Fuyangshian, in the prcfectuI" Of
HangChow, and put up at large tenn
pie in the village for the night. These
vagnbonds gave out that they We're
natives OF Tai Chow and Wen Chow,
and had been compelled by faminn to
leave their homes in search OF food.
They begged Tor bread fuel and mon,
ey from the people Of the village, and
when they found that the villagers
we're not as liberal in their charltabl
aid as they expected them to be, they
fell upon them and plundered then
houses and drove the inhabitants out
of the village.
The matter was reported to Chen

Senate Committee on Interoceanic
Canals today, and Colonel Haupt, an
other member of the Isthmian Canal
Commission, is to be heard Monday
next. The examination today was with
reference to the reasons why the Ca
nal Commission changed its recon-
mendations from the Nicaragua to the
Panama route. The reasons given by
the witness for this change. summed
up, are that the Panama route is much
shorter and has fewer curves, and that
those curves which do exist are not
so sharp as the curves in the Nicara-
qua route. He also said he believed
that, with proper quarantine regula.
tons, the health conditions of the re-
gion along the Panama line could be
much improved. He did not consider
the present condition from health
point of view as bad.
The questions bringing out these
points were asked largely by Senate
Hanna. who also made inquiries con-
corning the water supply for the Pana-
ma canal and the difficulties in tho
way of constructing dam at Bohio.
With reference to the dam Admiral
Walker said he had no doubt that the
engineering difficulties could be over

ion that the water supply would be
