is the aspect which is the ground of
all our wCes, all our disabilities.
Here We are in the world, we wo-

great use, the peopling of the world.
But something makes us-us un-
married wOmen-rebels to the great
commaDd-unwilling rebels, per-
haps, but none the less doomed to
the punishment of rebellion. Be-
cause we were proud and silly; be-
cause we were vain and weak; be-
cause We were cold and shallow be-
cause we were seers of visions aud
climbers after the impossible be-
cause we wanted riches; because we
dreamed Of a black haired sutton to
the utter undoing Of red-haired
one; because our parents dismissed
our early wOoers, and no others ap-
peared because, sometimes, men
were tickle; or because we were
born in Massachusetts instead of
Utah-whatever the reason, we
stand rebels to the great command
And we pay the price of that re-
bellion to Nature which civilization
has imposed upon US. We miss the
joy of love, and the nobility of
worthy motherhood. have some
times thought there can be bliss on
earth greater than that Of loved
and loving wife who folds her child
in her arms, and feels her husbands
arms Unfold them both. Here the
human being touches divine heights,
is creator and protector, sailed to
that which doth provide and not
partake." No unmarried woman
ever walks quite 80 close with God
as this, or has such rapture Of har-
mony with the universal law Of

In the excitement over the price
of cotton the people have OVERLOOKED
the unusually large yield Of corn
this year. The Charlotte Observer
calls attention to the fact that cot
ton is not the only crop in the Uni
Ted States by any means that Is cal
culated to bring money to the farm
ers this year. There lie, for instance,
the estimated yield of 2,7O7, 993, $40

Whs3 d Rebate 10.

A good deal Of the present confu-
sion arises from quibbling Tor le-
gall use of terms. The difficulty
lies in our various applications Of
the words ''rebate" and "discrimi-
nation" as in politics it lies in the
use Of the word "bribery." What
is a rebate: Strictly speaking, a
rebate is a sum Of money secretly
paid back by railroad company to
a favored shipper as refund upon
mis- freight rate, And in this mar
row sense, rebating is undoubtedly
much less common than formerly.
But the people who are unaccus-
toned to making close distinctions
to whom stealing of any one of the
seventeen kinds known to the law
is still plain stealing-use the Y ord
''rebate' in a much wider sense. 1t
means any sort Of favoritism to one
shipper that is not given to all ship
pers. We find the same distinction
In politics. bribery" in the mar
row sense-the ugly crude payment
of cash-may be disappearing from
politics. But 'sbribery" in the wi
der sense. meaning any reward for
corrupt political services, fourishes
like the proverbial green bay-tree.
Indeed, there has been the same
development in railroad land in
wider business) corruption, as in po-
litical corruption.
The railroad Crokers have fol-
lowed the railroad TWeeds !; and we
discover that the crude cash rebate
is being replaced by scores of cum
ming devices of discrimination which
accomplish the same results even
more successfully and secretly than
the cash rebate. Such, for example,
are the widespread abuses that have
grown up around the private car sys-
tenn, the industrial railroad, the
cline" elevator such is the mid
night tariff, the abuse of the carting
and switching charge, and innumer-
able other devices. And these new
methods have not even the virtue of
open-air robbery. They are the work
Of underband cunning, performed
in the twilight of legality.-From

nard Baker, in the December Nc

No Such Thing as German Grated Trees

Fruit tree agents from some north

Of the State to the other selling what
they call 'German grated" trees.
They claim that apples, peaches and

These same men are Offering what
they are pleased to call the "bush

plant, which was imported several
years ago, and is not strawberry at
at all. Our efficient State HOrti-
culturist, Professor Hume, says these
trees are Of no value whatever. and
classes them as a "double-barreled
swindle." The proper authorities
ought to take immediate steps to
stop this fraud and punish the ras-
Gals who are defrauding our people.
This last fraud is as bad, if not
worse, than the once famous ''cherry

about year ago, and its managers

justly punished. There is no such

A Remarkable Invention That Doesn't
Pay q Cent.
W. s. HarWOOd has a very I'M er-
estlng article in the American Illus
trated Magazine for December on
the agricultural experiment stations
throughout the country. The in
vestigators at these stations give
their lives to studying new methods
toI farming and to serving sgricul-
tural interest generally. DR.. s. w.
Babcock, of the Wisconsin station,
has invented machine for testing
milk, and ii he had patented it his
profit would have run into millions.
The invention is now used through
out the civilized world. Briefly
put, this test, whose object is to de-
termine how much butter tat there
is in milk, is performed as follows ::
A sample OF the milk offered for
sale, tor instance, at q creamery, is
put in a small glass bottle having
a long neck, on which is graduated
scale. Enough sulphuric acid is
added to dissolve all the solids in
the milk save the fat. The bottle is
put in specially prepared machine,
the invention Of DIR. Babcock, and
whirled about rapidly. Hot water
is added, and the tat, which collects
in the graduated neck of the bottle.
may then be- measured. The milk
sells upon its merits, on the precise
amount of butter fat it contains. no
more, DO less Very much butter
and cheese is now made In co-opers-
tive establishments, where, before
the introduction Of this test, the
milk was paid for by weight. In
this way injustice was suffered by
the farmers having fine herds giving
rich milk. Their milk came into
competition with milk in quantity,
or even adulterated at the pump,
and they had to accept the same
price. In case the farmer fancies
that he is not being fairly treated,
he can now, for a few dollars, buy a
small but accurate testing machine,
by which he can, each day, deter
mine how much butter fat his milk
contains before he starts out with it
to the creamery.

Opinion Ii much divided on Tom
Dixon's play OF 1.-THE ClAnsman."
Some Of the papers Of the South re-
com mend Ii highly and advise all
persons to re IL. We cannot look
81 In that way. We have not seen
the play, but have read the two
novels from which IL Is msde, and
were thoroughly disguised in the
reading. The play may omit the
disgusting scenes depicted In the
novels. The novels pretend To be
an answer TO "Uncie Toms Cabin"
They ars as much overdrawn aud
untruthfuI on the one side as l. that
book on the other. The "LeoTard's
Spots" and 1.-THE Ciausmsn" are a.
much 4 trsvest; on conditions at
the South Immediately after the wsr
between the STATES as "Unele Tom
Cabin" is on those just preceding
1t. Neither is any truer TO nature
than the-other. The play is pow =
erful one, and all through the South
the people will flock to see it. What
its effect on conditions in this sec
ton will be remains to be seen. Oh
course Dixon does not care what IL
will be. he is after the money. If
he gets full houses during the tour
Of his company he will be satisfied.
He will go back north with hi,
pockets full of the dollars of the
southern people. What difference
Will it make TO him with his family
safe in their northern home, how
many Southern women are placed in

Father and Child Allow cd to Die Withou
Medicine.
Davie Record.
Somewhat Of sensation has been
caused by the death Of the three
year old son Of Mrs. Mamie Jones
Palmer, Of Fulton, said to have been
due to the blind faith of the mother
in the efficacy Of the faith cure, and
to her refusal 10 permit medical aid
for the little boy before it was too
late. The child was taken sick
Thursday, and by Saturday was
choking with cold and gasping Il r
breath. Mrs. Palmer said that she
gave the boy some simple remedies,
believing that this would not vic
late the teachings Of the church.
Members of the church called at the
house and encouraged the woman to
stand by her faith. This she did
until p. IN. Saturday, when the
boy was near deaths door. at this
time she sent for DIR. George Banks
dale, who declared the case to ne
diptheria and the patient beyond
hope. Three hours later the child
was dead. Four other Palmer chill
dren III the house showed symptoms
Of the disease, but when the doctor
offered, free of charge, to inocuiate
them with antitOxine the mother
refused, declaring that this would
be equivalent to renuncis.ion of
her faith. Later, however, sne had
changed her mind and announced
her consent to the treatment. The
case has attracted much attention
and may be made subject of inves-
tigation by the health authorities.
Eight months ago the husband Of
Mrs. Palmer died from blood pois.
oning. He, too, would not consent
to the services of physician.

The following editorial from the
Charleston News and Courier is
along the RIGHT line:

The following editorial from the
Charleston News and Courier is
along the right line:
"The real source of danger to the
American people Is to be found in
their slavish submission to party
rather than their independence from
the domination Of party bosses. We
wish the conditions were such in the
Southern States that we might select
men for public place On their per-
sonal merits, and not on account of
the party tag that they wear. The
time will come in all the States of
the Union, it is to be hoped, when
men will be selected for public Office
because of their character and ambi.
ton rather than because they are
called by this, that or the other
name, when public questions viii! be
determined upon their true merits
rather than because they are written
into the platform of political organi-
cations, when public Office will be
regarded as a public trust.''
We hope the News and Courier is
right in its prediction when it says
the time will come in all the States
Of the Union when men will be
elected to Office because of their spe-
cial fitness. The people Of this State
are getting tired of machine rule, and
we not believe the day is far distant
when the old democratic machine in
this State will be overthrown, and
then Mr.. Simmons will have to take
to the tall timber.
