British East Africa for colonization by
the Jews closed today. The congress, by

Judge Critz Addsesse, Citizers in In.
terest Of Hi, Candidacy.

Centerville, Miss, Jan. 1O.-Judge
+. A. Critz, of West Point, Miss, a
gubernatorial candidate, addressed the
citizens of Centerville and vicinity
this afternoon. The audience was
evidently appreciative Of the forcible
presentation Of the points of his ad-
dress. 1t was confined almost exclu-
Sively to matters connected with the
common school laws. He dwelt MAIN
ly upon the unconstitutionality OF any
law that might be passed to make the
school privileges of the negroes de-
pendent upon what taxes they may
pay. He cited especially the decisions
Of United States courts in the case of
Claybrook VS.. the City of Owensboro,
KY, and the celebrated test case from
Mississippi, in which the constitution
ality of the disfranchising section OF
the new State Constitution was deter
mined. He evidently made a marked
impression by his lucid statements of
the laws pertaining to the matter un-
der discussion. The Judge goes to
Woodville to-mo1r row to be present at
the opening of Circuit Court on Mon
day next.

for 81, 500. The suit was for dam
age for a libelous message transmitted
by the Company from Senator Suili-
van to the editor of the Vicksburg
Post. Judge Niles in changing the
jury brought out a new legal point,
holding that telegraph Company in
transmitting a libelOus message was
just as responsible as the newspaper,
which published it. Mr.. eastman,
editor Of the Vicksburg Post had pre-
viously secured verdict for $500
against the company for the same

THE UPLAND FARMER.

Some years ago the tiller OF the
soil would cultivate a piece of what is
called hill land for a few years, until |
the soil had become poor, and then
let it lay out as practically valueless, !
but demonstrations are now being |
made, the country over, that these
old lands can be resusciated to such an
extent as to bear plentiful harvests,
and that with comparatively small
expense and exertion. Many farmers
who left the worn-out hill lands OF
Georgia and North Carolina years ago
and went to Texas, the mecca OF cot
ton growers, have tried those fertile
soils for many seasons, only to return
to their homesteads and take up the
old lands again. They are usiug fer
tilizers now, and diversifying their
crops. They are getting rid Of the
one-idea mode OF farming, and are
putting more practical sense into
their work.
1t is true that marvellous cotton
crops are raised in the delta lands,
| but it costs several dollars more per
acre to cultivate this soil than it does
that of the uplands. 1t is said that
it takes more labor for it, and labor
is scarce and expensive. Rent is high,
and the small agriculturalist can not
think of buying such land. The diff
ference in the cost of cultivating bot
tom and hill lands, II used in the way
of putting fertilizers on the latter
and preparing them for diversified
crops, will soon make the uplands
many times more valuable than they
are, and tilling them will be nearly,
if not quite. as remunerative as farm
ing in the swamp. And the atmoS-
phere of the hills is certainly more
conducive to the health of man, and
certainly more desirable in which to
live, for no man can be happy with
out health.
| Many Southern farmers, who work
hill lands, and this applies particular
! ly to class of farmers in Mississippi
and Grenada county, still adhere to
| the old plan of planting enough COT
ton to keep them too busy to- think
all the year and bring them out in
debt at the time of reckoning. But
the ideas of fertilizing and diversifying
have been preached by farm journals
and the country press until many are
putting these ideas into practical use
with most gratifying results.
The upland farmer who raises kh9gs
enough for his own use, who has a
piece of fresh pork or beef to sell
when he comes to town; who can
show a fine horse of his own raising
to his friends; who has potatoes in
the cellar, a few good COWS grazing on
ais hills, plenty of corn in his cribs,
an orchard we'll cared for, and little
cotton in his business, has plenty tc
eat and plenty to wear-all that the
eternal fitness of things allows tt
mortalS-and is natures s true noble
man.

ed the Commissioners TO order North

ing the expenditure OF $500 for the
purpose. His letter follows:
In prosecuting the work on the

will be necessary 10 haul with wagons
157 900 barrels OF cement 10 the sheds
situated on North Capitol Street. be-
tween Cincinnati and Baltimore Streets.
The condition of North Capitol Street is
such that heavy hauling will be very
difficult from V Street north.
"It would be of great assistance to
the work on the filtration plant If the
street were macadamized. and / would
respectfully call the attention OF the
Commissioners to this fact, and request
that. If consistent with the public good
this work be done as soon as con-
venient."
