SHAMR0CKS ARE
SCARCE IN IRELAND
A Kansan Found That Many
IriShmen Did Not Know
the Plant.

Abilene, Kan, March 19-1 "a =
not understand why there's so much
interest in the shamrock st. Patrick s
day." said Mr.. Waring, the post
master here, this morning. He spent
part OF last summer at ms old home
in the north of Ireland.
while | was in Ireland made a
special search for shamrocks, intend
ing to bring home some specimens
for friends. / asked several OF the
natives where it could be found, but
received only doubtful answers, No
two OF them agreed ON just what
sort OF plant it was, aud none
seemed to know where they were
growing. Finally | was sent to the
fields, where | found small clover
like plant growing wild, something
ike our sorrel. 1t had three leaves,
aud fulfilled the generalspecifcat
of tie shamrock, although much
smaller than usually pictured. This
| gat hered and was told bv the men
in the village, residents of Ireland all
their lives, that was wrong. After
listening to the arguments gave up
the search and came home with out
the shamrocks.
Since then | have been of the opin-
ion that whatever may ba the case
in earlier days modern Ireland has
not even n speaking acquaintance
with its national floral emhlem.'

THE OLD COUNTY COURT.

The Supreme Court last Saturday
sw;ned the old county court OF Maury
county off the map, and there be few 10
weep over its grave. 1t was cumoer-
some, expensive institution, and the
time for it's final deps- ture had come.
Il seems meet and proper that the tear
ing away OF the ola court house ana sne
passing Of the old county couit' shouio
he Simultaneous, they alike having
served their time and generation, but
their days of usefulness being gone.
In the reorganization of the new
court, let us hope that the people VIII
choose wisely and we'll. The districts
beng larger, and the court smaller the
ofice will carry with ii more of dignity
and honor and responsibility than here
tofore. and the districts should call upon
their very best men to serve them. Men
who are above tricks and trades; men
of moral worth and mental attainments'
men of experience and affairs; men
ybose priyate lives recommend them Tor
public preferment; men who may pe
depended upon not to play cheap poll
ties in the consideration of public meas
u-es. but t. serve tho people conscien-
tiously for the peoples best interest
and without fear, favor, prejudice OF
affection 30 far as individual and per
sonal interests are concerned wnen
they conflict with the general pubic
| good.
One OF the beneficent results OF tne
decision sustaining the redistrlctlne
bill. will be to place the entire county
under the Dortch law, and to require
the Australian or secret pooen
voting all over the county. Mourning
will do more to prevent bribery
and corruption and stop cheating
unon election occasions, then the proper
enforcement of this law. There will be
or there is talk of an effort being mad'
to cheat the people out Of this, by some
strained construction that the law i
not clear upon this point; but the law J
clear enough to those who want TO reau
and the people should demand It's en-
forcement. To enforce it properly VII
rid the elections of two most oblectlona
BILE characters; to wit. the bride give
and the bribe taker; and it will rld th'
ballot box, in large measure, OF tn
suffrage of ignorant, careless ana oe
PRAYED voters.
Let the people rise up and deman
less politics in their public busi"ess
cleaner elections and more economy
| the administration of their affairs.

SOUTHERN COTTON MILLS
BEAT ALL COMPETITIONS.

Washington. Jan. II II was talk
ing on the train the other day with
man who has recently opened cotton
mill IN Alabama, said Representative
Thompson, of Alabama, today he
was from Massachusetts, and freely
made the prediction that within few
wears the Southern cotton mills would
make the spindles stop in New Eng
land. Ee told me that while spindle
ia making two dollars a day IN Massa-
chusetts a similar spindle was making
four dollars day IN Alabama.
He added, further, that 'ha Soutn
offered better field for cotton minis
than the North, on account or the
cheapness of fuel IN the South
Furthermore, he said that 10 per cent.
of all cotton shipped to Massachusett q
was lost by tearing of the bales Ia
/ transit. Then, too. by manufacturing
cotton goods in the South, the trelgh
on the cotton is saved. With all these
advantages and more he could .enume
rate, he said that he felt certain ina
the manufacture of cotton goods woult
before very long be confined Amos
exclusively to the South.

This Is a pretty mess the County
Court has gotten the county into, by
their wiIful disohedieuce u the law.
And it all comes from laying poll
tics,'' in a personal and most selfish
WAY No sort of business or moral re-
form can be put on foot in this town or
county, but some political faction tries
to head it off; sometimes for no other
reason than because the other side
wants it; and there is no telling the
money and the disturbance and IN
Jury to public business and pubic
morals, such personal politics has
cost the community. 1t seems to al
time that good men we're refusing &c
give or sell their time or talent or infiu'
ence to such proceedings. PATRIOTISM
should begin at home, and men wh'
claim to stand for what is good shouie
refuse 10 counienance, even for frlend
shin sake or for business consideration
any effort or movement that is agains
public morals and the public good. Int
people deserve better treatment from
their leaders than they get in this coun
ty; ami when the people find that on
there is going to be change which, W.
trust. will relegate greed and gain an'
selfishness to the rear, and bring pa
triotism to the front.

The Curse OF Our Country.

The greatest curse of this country Is
the terrible greed for gold, the hoard
ing of money The trade classes are so
tightly drawn at the present time that
a break IS bound to come soon. Inc
greatest national crime IS insolence,
and Great Britain, Germany, and also
our own United States can be charged
with it in particular. Although these
countries are today the most successful
IN commerce, let them not forget that
Rome and Spain were far more power
ful In days gone by than they, yet
through insolence they fell. The Crisis
that 10 rapidly coming to a climax IN
tne far east should be left severely
alone by these three nations. The
meddlers who interfere IN the nation {
name only seek for personal glory ano
ch,evements instead OF the country
honor.
The worst existing troubles In the
Tinted States and England are self
;ndnlcence ana high living. which
will eventually bring ruin to any
nowerful nation. Our millionairet
