REPORTS ON BARBOUR
COUNTY OFFICIALS EXAMINED
 BY MIR. GoRMAN.
Circuit Clerk McCraney Made Errors Through Misunderstanding of the Law-Examiner Has
 Gone to Selma.

John T. German, Examiner of Public Accounts. filed with the Governor yester- day his report upon the books of the off, ficials of Barbour County. The report shows that four of the officials through misinterpreting the law and clerical er- TOTS are due the State small amounts.
 These errors. the Examiner said, were no reflection upon the honesty and integ- rity of the officials.
 In the books of M. J. McCraney, Cir cult Clerk. Examiner German found the greatest number of errors. The law gov- erning the official acts of Circuit Clerks appears to be more susceptible of mis- reading than the law relating to any oth- CT off1ce In a majority of the books of the Circuit Clerks examined errors are found caused by misreading the law.
 Examiner Germans report upon the books of Circuit Clerk McCraney Is as

market.
Surplus ROSTERS are improbable

Work is the main factor in success
full poultry raising. Don't shirk.
Filthy black pools in the barnyard
are poor watering places for fowls.
A good gamecock is about as good
as guinea for soaring hawks and
crows, and not SO noisy.
Dry, sifUed coal ashes on thefioor of
the coops and frequent cleaning they
will help to keep the young hi rds in a
healthy state. Dry earth is equally
good.
What passes for cholera is often the
result of exposure without shade to
the intense heat. Brabmas and
Cochins and all heavily feathered
fowls are liable to heat prostration.
By all means use the water foun-
tains, OR at least some form of water
vessel that the flock cannot befoul
with their feet or otherwise. Set in
sha dy places, and fill daily with fresh
water.
viii it pay to keep a two-pound
chick that will now bring 20 cents per
pound, until he weighs four pounds
and sell him for fourty cents? There
are poultry keepers who seem to think
it will.
Then hens that mott early are the
ones you should keep, for they will lay
in winter when eggs are most in de-
mand. Beware of rotten milk and
spoiled meSses. Some people seem to
think that fowls belong to the buzzard
family.

The fate Of ST. Pierre excltes the
sympathy of the whole world. Pity
for those who suffered uuder the rain
of liquid fire and desire to he lp the
survivors IS felt everywhere. But the
old terror excited by such calamities
no longer rules the world. We hear
nothing now of divine Judgment and
walls of wrath, says the Christian
Register. We do not ask what was
the motive impelling the power that
rules the universe to infiict this pen
atty upon wicked men and women.
We have learned that great natural
processes of change are taking place.
The earth once hot is cooling, shrink
ing and becoming more and more fit
for human habitation. Some parts of
it SO far as rpas the memory of man,
have been safe and pleasant TO dwell
in. In some places there is doubt and
others we know that earthquakes and
volcanoes have been once Obstructive
and will probably again destroy. Men
erect tall buildings in cities that have
been shaken by earthquakes, and
trust to luck for the future. We may
build a canal in Nicaragua, trusting
that the frequent earthquakes and
volcanic eruptions in that country
will not destroy tile waterway of ma
tions, We" lake the risks in
the presence of known dangers
and no longer aseribe the results to
