cATERPILLARs APPEAR.

Albany Daily Herald; The news
which went forth last week from Baker
county of the appearance there of the
cotton caterpillar is verified by parties
who have Investigated the matter and
it is not surprising TO learn that there
- a good deal of uneasiness among
the farmers of Baker and neighboring
counties. The caterpillar is a most
formidable foe to the cotton crop, and
his raVages are often fearfully destruc-
tive. The appearance of the pest at
this early season justjfies the fear that
this will prove good year for cater
pillars, which means, of course, bad
year for the cotton crop

The dredging in the Savannah river
is progressing. and each day finds the
channel deeper and farther toward the
sea. There are a half dozen dredges
constantly at work. and their regular
ity has accomplished much in obtain
ing the 2S-foot depth at the points
where the machines have worked.
From East to West Broad streets
the channel is now at its full depth of
twenty-eight feet. Below town this
depth has been secured, but not con-
tinuously. In the vicinity of the Sea-
board Air Line bridge above the city
this depth has also been reached. With
all the machines now in the harbor
running steadily it win take fifteen
months yet to complete the project.
Senmen Come Ashore to Sleep.
Seamen are. and have been for some

may be seen coming to their boarding
houses in large numbers about night
fall. There is not a great deal of sick

the calls are sufficient to keep the ply

TWO BLADES OF GRASS.

A writer in the Groton Times in
telling some old settler" stories OF
Penny street, a neiGhborhood in
Peacham, mentions that one of the
first men to take up his abode there
was Esquire Merrill, who with his
family settled on the same farm that
is now owned and operated by his
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, the Bickford
sisters, 1t is worthy of comment
that Vermont farm has remained in
one family SO long, but what is more
noteworthy and suggestive is the fact
that these women are so deeply inter-
ested in the farm and such firm be-
levers in its possibilities that the
writer adds the following to his story {:
They have proved themselves to be
practical farmers. They are not
only continually improving their
place by new buildings but are in
creasing the amount of forage from
year to year. 1t is estimated that
they keep three times the stock that
their grandfather, the late Hazen
Merrill, did in his day. Such an ar
ray of farming tools as theirs! Every
new improvement in the implement
line is sought after by these ladies. "
Herein is a lesson that all may
profit by perusing. A farm that
keeps three times as much stock as it
did two generations back puts Horace
Greeley's famous maxim in the back
ground, and puts to shame that large
class of Vermont farmers who COM
plain that farming is not what it
used to be. - Here is an instance of
some women who have evidently
found on che old home place a modern
business proposition, and are success
fully conducting it along up to-date
business-like lines. The Vermont
farm is a thoroughly good thing if
the same energy and skill that makes
other business enterprises successful
are applied to it. Moreover ii is a
plant that will never go ont of repair
it rightly cared for, and unlike many
other plants its products will be in de-
mand to the end of time. All honor
to the Peacham women who have
taught this useful lesson, and may it
be needed.

NOT GUILTY.

There may be but one kind of stat
utory law for all persons in South
Carolina, but there appears to be one
way Of administering the law for one
class of persons charged with crime,
and an entirely different way for an
other class. 1t might also be correct
to say that there are two codes in the
State, the statutory and the code of
Judge Lynch. Under this mixed state
of affairs, sometimes, under the one
code or the other, a person is hanged
or otherwise put to death, without
always observing the amenities of
civilized man-killing, on the mere
suspicion that the victim has done
something wrong, be the otfense muir
der or some trespass lower down in
the catalogue of otfenses against the
laws of the State or of humanity; and
sometimes Justice lifts her bandage to
take cognizance of the rank of the
offender in her presence and declares
him guiltless because he AYERS that he
raised his arm against his fellow man
on the suspicion, merely, that himself
might become the object of murderous
assault. Out of this confusion, social
and criminal, has come the verdict of
a South Carolina jury that Tillman,
eX-lieutenant governor of the State,
was guiltless of crime in shooting and
killing, in cold blood, the man Con
zales, whose taking off, and the man
ner of it, is matter of wide motor
iety.
South Carolina has her own way of
looking at things and this is one way
blooded society in the Palmetto State
is regarding this barbarous Tillman-
Gozales affair:
In his attack on Tillman, Con
zales, in his newspaper, exhausted
the vocabulary of printable abuse.
Coward, BLACKBOARD, and thief were
coupled with Tillman's name in large
type Had the Lieutenant Governor
resented the first of the notorious
series of editorials, he would have
done no more than was expected of
him In the South, to apply to n
man certain epirhets is to provoke not
personal encounter but homicide.
Consequently, it was taken almost as a
matter of course that tragedy inn
pended.
SO well established are southern
traditions in this regard, that had

sudden movement sends thrill of pain

love may tighten labor it cannot tighten

Thousands of women who have suf-

Tillman killed Gonzales within forty
eight hours after the first denuncla-
tory editorial the resulting trial
would have been only perfunctory
observance. The accused would doubt
less have been acquitted offhand, and
generally accounted justified, if not
actually vindicated. But Tillman
was inactive through the entire cam
paign in which he was defeated, and
the meeting of the General Assembly
found him still silent 1t was said
that he even met the editor almost
face to face without seeking ven.
geance.
Now, the 'wool-hat men,, who
sent Ben Tillmsn to the Senate and
revolutionized South Carolina poll
tics, would have regarded omission
greater sin than commission in this
case. When Tillman, walking down
the street on January 10 last, met and
promptly shot Gonzales, he had lost
caste with class of the population
by the very delay of his revenge.
The line of defence is the old hip
pocket hypothesis. Tillman is sup
posed to have seen Gonzales reaching
for revolver and to have anticipated
him. Staggered at first by the i'm
pact of the bullet, the wounded man
did not sink at once, but Strengthened
himself up and exclaimed: Here 1
am Finish it, That would seem
to show that he had no weapon; for
a man of his vigor and courage, had
he had one, would certainly have
fired back.
The real defence is provocation, as
provocation is reckoned according to
the code of the population Of Licking
! ton, where the trial is held The
case has been significant as indicating
the length TO which tradition may go /;
! indicative, too, of the estimation in
which human life and regard for the
statutes made to protect it may be
held. In passing, let it be noted that
less than a half-score OF white men
have been legally condemned for
murder in South Carolina in quar-
ter of a century, Yet, homicide trials
! crowd the calendar of every county
court.
All that Tillman's friends regret
is that he did not act more promptly,
and that he did not execute his pur-
pose with greater regard for the
amenities of the unwritten code of
private warfare. The progress of the
trial has been illuminating, il not
edifying. AT times, one might almost
imagine that the prisoner at the bar
was a prosecuted hero. The 'wool-ha
men certainly think that he is. Not
only were his family and friends al
hand to give him sympathy, but also
the political adherents of the Till.
mans, who rule the State. -

GRANTING WEEKLY PAYMENTS

The act of E. & 7. Fairbanks u
Co., the st. Johnsbury scale corpora
ton, in establishing system of
weekly payments, following as it does
close behind several concessions made
in the interests of employees of the
company, shows pleasant relation
ship between capital and labor in that
town and an evident determination to
maintain it. Some months ago a
mi-monthly pay system was inagur-
ated to succeed the old monthly ar
rangement, then nine-hour day
without reduction of pay was estab-
lished, and now the directors have
volunteered to grant weekly payments
of wages, goal that some of the com
pany's employees have long striven
Tor, With the new arrangement the
company's large grocery store goes
on a cash basis so that store bills with
the employer will no longer exist.
Thus has st. Johnsbury, without
strikes or without particular pressure
from organized or unorganized labor,
become all that the most enthusiastic
walking delegate could ask for unless
it be the complete unionizing of the
shops.
1t is reported that while the mer-
chants of st. Johnsbury rejoice in the
fact that the corporation store bugaboc
is thing of the past, there is feel
ing that the weekly payment system
will not be as profitable to them as the
old plan. Such fears are apt to be
groundless, however, for the majority
of the Fairbanks workmen are skilled
craftsmen of class that knows the
value of money and can he depend
cd upon to handle it judiciously
whether it comes in weekly or monlhl,
installments. Anyway it is doubtful
if any great business depression viii
come to a town of the size of st
Johnsbury whether single compan!
turns considerably more than $40, OO
weekly. or about 80 for every man
woman and child in the town. int

that most active promoter of trade, the
workingman's pocket.
The political effect of this depart
ure ON the State at large as we'll as on
st. Johnsbury Will be watched with
interest. For the past two terms the
scale town, always overwhelmingly
Republican, has sent Democrat to
the Legislature and one of the chief
campaign cries in each case was
weekly payments. In the Legislature
OF 1900 the gentleman from st. Johns
bury, Mr.. Bundy, framed measure
compelling certain classes of employ
ers to pay their employees weekly.
This passed the House by large ma
jority but was riddled by the Senate.
St. Johnsbury was so well pleased
with Mr.. Bundy's efforts however, that
his second election was brought about
without great effort. Whether the
scale town will take its place in the
Republican ranks again is problemati
cal, but the town will certainly be
closely watched next year.
Whether the move will effect State
legislation or not is uncertain, but
as the Fairbanks Co. was one of the
chief opponents of the proposed sys-
tenn in the past, and is now removed
from the opposing forces it may be an
easier fight for whoever champions
the cause next year.

THE REMOVAL OF MR.. FIELD.

The removal of Fred A. Field of
States marshal for the district of YER
mont, which was announced from
Washington on Thursday, comes as
surprise and shock to Mr.. Fields
friends in the State. The event
which led to the action of the de-
partment of justice in recommending
his removal, and of the President in
carrying out the recommendation
occurred on June 20 at Providence, r.
l. Mr.. Field was in charge of a
party Of Cinnamon sentenced to depor
tation and bound for San Francisco.
The method employed in deporting
Cinnamon is as follows: The govern
ment contracts with q transportation
company to carry the Orientals across
the country and requires bonds to in
sure the safe delivery of them in San
Francisco. The transportation COM
pany on it's part furnishes guards to
prevent the escape of the prisoners,
and although there have been escapes
in the past the journey across the
country is usually made without
trouble.
On this occasion it appears that
Mr.. Field followed the usual course.
He transacted the business incidental
to the trip with Mr.. Patrick, the
agent of the transportation company,
man with whom he had had similar
dealings on other occasions. Accord
ing to Mr.. Fields story, and those
who know that gentleman will accent
his version without question, he was
given TWO guards by Mr.. Patrick and
after arranging the final details left
the Cinnamon on ship board in chargs
of the deputy who was to accompany
| them to San Francisco and took the
train for Boston. The deputy accepted
the guards in good faith as had Marshal
Field and while the boat which was
carrying them to Norfolk, Va. was
still in port he went to supper leaving
his charges with the guards. He was
soon notified by an officer of the ship
that there was trouble and ON reach
ing the deck found that the two
guards had decamped taking three Of
the prisoners with them. A search wal
at once instituted but neither the Chi
namen nor the alleged guards could bt
found. Mr.. Field was telegraphet
for and returned from Boston remain
ing at Providence until the boat
sailed.
That there was plot to rescue thu
prisoners cannot be questioned, but i
is difficult matter to conclusivel,
fix the blame, and whether the guard
themselves or some other employee O.
the transportation company are guilt.
cannot be determined but as is fire.
quently the case in such matters tin
innocent has been made to suffer TO
the misdoings of others. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Field will ask for al
investigation and it is to be hope'
that an opportunity will be givel
him to explain his part in the un
fortunate affair,

of this sort comes from Georgia where,
as the result of quarrel betw cen a
negro farmer and white neighbor the
latter persuaded some of his white
friends to visit the negro's home
