Greenwood.

This month did not bring in anything
very remarkable, but few events of
lesser note which might be noticed as a
substitute for greater ones. During the
day two young rabbits were brought in
from the hay field, about the size of o
full grown toad, and are making nice
pets for the kids.
In the afternoon of the same day a
very fat woodchuck was shot IN the same
field and dressed for his oil which is said
to be valuable for certain purposes. On
the same day new potatoes and green
apple sauce found their way on to the
table for the first time, while green peas
were there several days previous; and
cucumbers and string beans will soon
follow.
Thus it will be seen that while our
southern neighbors have these Injuries
several weeks earlier than We do, they
arc sure to get here later on; and per-
haps taste all the richer for the delay; at
any rate, Better late than never"
The last of the week Leon Brooks and
family of Paris came up on visit to his
folks, and during the while he made a
pleasant call at the Bennett place. Since
Mr.. Brooks avoirdupois has increased
to over 200 pounds, it is natural to infer
that he is getting a good living on his
hill farm.
While some are nearly through haying
others are just starting in on account of
the lateness of the season. That it is q
difficult season to get hay on account of
the frequent rains, must be evident to
every one, and especially SO when taken
in connection with the cloudy weather
snake hay while the sun Shines" is the
farmers motto.
Last week the writer spoke of what he
found in an old paper, and now some
thing somewhat similar comes up again.
This time it occurs in the Oxford Demo
crat, bearing the date of Sept. II, 1901.
The paper contains a brief account of
the death of President Mckinley, &C.
companied by his photograph; and else
where the paper gives somewhat de-
tailed account of his last moments before
death occurred.
"His last conscious words, reduced to
writing by DR.. Mann, who stood at his
bedside when they were uttered, were:
Goodbye; all goodbye. 1t is Gods
way. His will be DONE"
That, to more than one person, has
always been a paradox, which they would
like to have explained. If 1t was Gods
will for the president to die in that man.
ner, where, it Is asked in all candor, does
the responsibility or blame of the assassin
come in? What was he but an instru-
ment in the hands of God to carry out
his purpose?

The union hod carriers working on a
new court house in Hudson County, New
Jersey, recently struck because the con-
tractor required that they should trans
port the brick in wheelbarrows instead
of carrying them on their shoulders in
hods, and work would have been hung
up on the building il the brick layers,
although union men, had not had sense
enough to refuse to join in the strike.
They also told the hod carriers what
fools they were, and advised them to
keep at work with the wheelbarrows,
which they finally decided to do. 1t is
such absurd proceedings as that which
cast discredit upon labor unions, and
seriously injure an organization having
large possibilities of good for its MEM

The Democratic speakers in the Maine
campaign are beginning to talk just
what they mean, and instead Of advo-
eating resubmission as giving the people
an opportunity to express themselves on
the question of prohibition, they are
talking it openly as means to secure a
license law. There's no doubt that that
is what the Democratic resubmission
movement means.

Roosevelt and Bryan.

President Roosevelt's declination to
preside at the Commercial Travellers
Antitrust reception to Hon. w. j..
Bryan in New York bears again evil
dence of some of the peculiar traits OF
the presidents character. The invita-
ton assured the president that the af-
fair was strictly non-partisan in nature
and the object one that should appeal
10 both the president and Mr.. Bryan in
the same light
One of three things is certain: The
president is too narrow politically to
appear in the role of a gracious host
TO a distinguished political opponent, or
he is afraid the enthusiasm shown Mr..
Bryan will eclipse that accorded him. or
he is not disposed to come out too con
spicuously in his hostility to the trusts.
But the event will prove no more
significant because the president has
sent his regrets.

Rivers and Harbors improvements.

The National rivers and harbors con-
SresS has been quietly engaged in TAX
ing a poll of the federal congress with
regard to rivers and harbors improve
ments by the federal government. The
result is surprising Practically ev-
cry member of both houses acknow-
lodged his interest in the work, and
his belief that a more liberal appropri-
alton for the development of the navi-
gable waterways was necessary for an
equalization of freight rates and for
taking care of the growing internal
commerce of the country The cOnsen-
sus of opinion. it was found. is that Il
greater general interest is all that is
needed to spur congress to action.
When the people of the coasts and
great valleys begin TO bring pressure
to bear on their representatives in the
national legislature. the response will
be prompt and surprising. Senator
Teller of Colorado. whose state has no
streams that can be made navigable,
declared in Il recent speech that de-
spite the fact Colorado would be vast
ly benefited by an extended develop
ment of the inland waters. This at
titude is a hopeful sign for a few years
back senators and representatives from
states remote from the coast or other
larger streams declined to lend an ear
to any Legislation seeking appropria-
tons for rivers and harbors better
ment.
The work has taken on a national
Importance now. however. as it is now
conceded that the benefits. instead of
being local. will be widespread when
the streams of the country are made
capable of supporting traffic. It will
permit of short rail hauls and long
carriages by low-freight-rate water
routes. And this condition in no wise
will injure the railroads. for the slim
ulation of commerce will be so great
that the tonnage will be doubled and

The Direct Election of Senators.

The Baltimore Sun is now strenuous
" leading a movement in Maryland
looking 10 the direct election of United
States senators by the people. The
death of Senator German has left the
field open for such movement and it
is already assuming considerable pro
portions. Local conditions are such
that the time is Opportune for the
change and many of the strongest re-
form leaders of the state have commit
ted themselves TO the program.
Even many of the machine polili-
clans have been cornered by Sun re-
porters and have committed them
selves to the proposal, chiefly because
they dare not oppose it. Many of the
congressman from the state are out in
favor of the movement. William Pink
ney Whyte. the newly appointed Unit
ed States senator from Maryland,
heartily endorses the proposal.
Maryland has no state election this
year and has only congressman TO
elect, so that the proposition is in a
good way 10 be considered on its mer-
itS
