The Man Behind theaHoe.
[Florence Times.1

The man behind the hoe asks for help,
Mr.. Editor, for in all the talk about the
reduction of the cotton acreage 1 have
not seen suggestion that helps the man
behind the hoe. Honestly the landlords
of the cotton belt have this smatter in
their own power and can reduce the crop
If they will. A landlord was pleading
with farmer and advancedj the argu-
ment that the latter could pay him A
bales out of II produced, and.make more
money than he could make if he should
pay him four bales out of sixteen pro-
duced.
BY the way, said the tenant, if you
will reduce your rent 25 per cent, and
take three bales, will reduce my crop
2o per cent and you can get $3.50 for
three bales. But, if you demand four
bales. it will bring you only S1OO; now
you can make $3.50, and atSthe same time
help me to reduce my crop. This seems
to be plain and simple proposition,
but it is the milk in the cocoanut. Cen
tlemen, help the man behind the hoe
reduce the crop. x.Y.z.

TX, Ground Hog story and the Weather.

ATLANTA Constitution, February 1o.i
''If the old ground-hog story stands
for anything, and for one firmly be-
lieve I'll 1t, we haven't seen the end of
the bad weather yet" remarked a wea-
ther man yesterday. "When was kid
at home heard my father and my grand
father talk about the ground hog, and
they believed in him. Naturally 1 had
faith in the story. February is ground
hog day. You know the story ? No?
Well, IL the ground-hog comes out on
that day--that's the day he comes from
his hibernating-and sees his shadow he
darts back into his hole and remains
there another six weeks taking it easy,
because he knows the weather will be
bad for that period. But If it's cloudy
and he doesn't see his shadow, he will
remain ont, because he knows the wea-
ther will be good. Now, that's the story.
It has been told for years and years, and
believe in it. So do many others.
Well, the I'd of February this year was a
pretty day, with a bright sun. The
ground-hog saw his shadow and went
back, and the very next day the weather
went wrong. To me that ground hog is
as good as q national weather bureau.

Vaccination by Law.

Justice Harlan, of the Supreme
Court of the United States, has de-
liyered the opinion in the case of
Jacobson ss. the United States, in-
volving the validity of the Massa-
chusetts State law, giving authority
to the health authorities of cities aud
towns in the State to impose COM
pulsory vaccination regulations. He
held the law to be constitutional on
the ground that the protection of the
health of community may be ex-
ercised by the State as police regu-
lation. In the course of his opinion
Justice Harlan said
"While this court should guard
with firmness every right pertaining
to life, liberty, or property, as se-
cured to the individual by the su-
preme law of the land, it is of the
last importance that it should not
invade the domain of local authority
except when 1t is plainly necessary
80 to do in order to enforce that law.
The safety and the health of the
people of Massachusetts are, in the
first instance, for that commonwealth
to guard and protect. They are
matters that ordinarily do not con-
Germ the National Government. So
far as they can be reached by any
government, they depend primarily
upon such action as the State in it's
wisdom may take, and we do not
perceive that this legislation has in
vaded any right secured by the
Federal constitution"
He added that the opinion should
not be construed as decision to
grant no relief in cases in which
police power of State is abused to
the injury of the individual.

"The Religious Telescope, Dayton,
Ohio. says:
"It was slavery's attempt, in its
death struggle, to deal stunning
blow to the head of the nation that
was crushing out its life-a blow
dealt IN a desperate revenge for it's
having been compelled to submit to
the triumph of liberty. 1t was
slavery in its dying throes, admins
tering to itself its own scorpion sting,
thereby rendering its own character
doubly despicable, and its own death
more certain and everlasting. Hence,
the cause (slavery) of Lincoln's as
sassination being forever annihi-
lated, no such despicable crime can
again spring from that source.'"
"Well, now, as Lincoln is said to
have said, this reminds me of little
story, and in this connection am
constrained to tell it.

talked, lived music until my mind
slipped a cog and here I am on my
way to the mad house."
"Happy to have met you," said A.
81 am buggy myself and as I am
bound for Chattahoochee, also, we
will be company for each other"
"What's your trouble ?" said B.
swell, l went daft on the money
question. 81 couldn't hear anything
but gold standard, free silver, sound
currency, and it all rumbled and
mixed inside my head until my wits
left me-"
