Of the People Who Try to Select
City Officers.

Selecting candidates Tor city
offices has been one of the pastimes
of the population of St. Johus dur
ing the past two weeks. Those
who have offered to sacrifice them
selves for 50 per meeting for
period of twelve months and to be
cussed to fareyouwell because
they have not legislated soandso,
have been discussed from every
spur and angle. The sidewalks,
stores, saloons and barber shops
have held small knots of men whose
conversation was something as fol-
lows:

A through car between St. Johns
and Portland would be well patron
lied even if the fare should be in
creased TO ten cents. There is a
demand for it. The Review be-
lieves if the railroad officials could
have the matter laid before them
the experiment of running these
through cars at least twice day
each way would be tried.

The Williamson Plan In a Nutshell.

The State has published frequently
the formula for the "Williamston
Plan," or the way devised by E.
McIver Williamson, of Darlington,
to make five ears of corn grow where
but one grew before. The formula
as given heretofore has been little
long. The following has been pre-
pared by James Henry Rice, Jr., as
the most consise form in which it
can be given:
Break land in winter one-fourth
deeper than common; lay off in six
foot rows, leaving tive-inch balk.
When time to plant break out balk
with scooter, following in same fur
row on this ridge. Ridge then with
same plow, going deeper; run corn
planter with Dixie plow, with wing
taken off. Plant as early as possible,
usually about the middle of March.
Drop corn grains every five or six
inches. Use no fertilizer. Give first
working with harrow or any plow
that will not cover plant. Second
working with ten or twelve-inoh
sweep on both sides Of plant. Thin
after this working.
Corn should not be worked again
until sufficiently stunted, 80 that it
will never grow large. When it is
about ten or twelve inches high put
on fertilizer. Mix 200 pounds cotton
seed meal, 200 pounds acid phos-
phate, 400 pounds ksinit. Put half
in old sweep furrow, on both sides
of every other middle. Cover by
breaking out middle With turn plow.
One week later treat the other mid
die in the same way, fertilizer and
all. In few days side corn in first
middle with 16-inch sweep. Put all
your nitrate of soda in this furrow,
if less than $50 pounds is used if
more, put half. Cover with one fur
row or turn plow, then sow peas in
middle broadcast at rate of bushel
to the acre and finish breaking out.
Lay by early. More corn is ruined
by late plowing than by lack of plow-
ing. No hoeinp ia necessarv and
middle may be kept clean until time
to break out by narrowing.
For so bushels to the acre leave
stalks 16 inches apart; for rs bush
els, IL inches; for 100 bushels, 8
inches apart.
Do not pull fodder; do not cut
tops; let peas and pea vines die on
land. Value in vertilizer to land is
worth more than forage.

ss4o for R. r. o. Men.

Washington, Jan. 25.-The post
Office and post roads committee OF
the House reached decision yester.
day in the matter of increased pay
for rural free delivery carriers, and
will recommend that the maximum
salary be fixed at ss4O per year, OF
$40 per month.
Judge j. M. Griggs, of Georgia,
who is member of the committee
was urging his bill calling for raise
to 5000 year, but a majority of the
committee thought $840 the prope,
figure. This will no donbt pass the
House and become law.
Congressman Aiken, of South
Carolina, has been one of the most
active in urging the increase. He
too, wanted the carriers to get 5000
a year, but will accept the compro.
mise agreed on by the committee
He thinks, however, that the in.
crease to 5000 year will soon come

Growing Waists.

Reports from many sources say that
women's waists are larger than they
used to be. Physical culture, we are
told, and this seems reasonable, is re-
sponsible for the change. Golf, ten
mis-, swimming and almost all of the
outdoor sports strengthen and de-
velop the muscles of the waist, so
that it is impossible to get them into
as small space as they once occu-
pied. Solne few persons, it is said,
object to the new appearance the
back takes in consequence, but as all
common sense folks regard it as an
indication that women are growing
healthier, the old question, "What do
you care how you look if you only
feel wellp" is pertinent and polite.

Poker on the Mississippi.

The temperance of the card sharp
on. the Atlantic liners, together with
the fabulous losses imputed to seve-
raj young millionaires, reminded
Mark Twain the other day of an
ante-bellum happening.
"When I was pilot on the Mis-
sissippi," he said, "I saw one night a
handsome black boy standing alone
in the stern, looking disconsolately
at the dark and lonely river. He
was, of course, slave.
"'Hello,' said l, swho do you be-
long to, anywayf'
"'I did belong to Massa Carroll,
sab, when I came aboard said the
boy; 'but he's been in de cabin

Columbia, Jan. 21.--Editors Keo-
wee Courier: see that Hon. T.. e.
Werner has made another reference
to me. I do not like such notoriety,
but | feel that the public viii pardon
me for giving the complete record in
answering loose statements. I did
not even ask any one to take my
statement, though had the right to
demand proof, which he has not
given, but I gave conclusive proof
\ from one who knew.
bear no malice in this matter
whatever, but pity for him for the
predicament he has placed himself
in. Now, I see, by the Journal of
the House that Mr.. Werner has intro
duoed bill to authorize and en-
power Louis B. Msgid, Robert Mo.
MILAN, their associates and assigns,
10 construct and maintain dam or
dams aoross Tugaloc river, etc.
find in this bill the following Ian
guage: "To condemn land for the
backing of water of said river and
for erecting poles and electric wires
or other contrivances for the trans
mission of electricity and power and
the conveying of water" eto. This
becomes too humorous for comment.
/ do not wish to be understood as
condemning Mr.. Verner's action in
this, for | see no good reason why
such companies should not be given
the same rights and privileges that
are given by the general law to rail
way, telegraph and telephone COM
panies, and as there is no provision
for them in the general law, this can
only be done by special acts.
Does it not appear strange that he
should 30 soon do the very thing
that he has tried to condemn me for?
am willing to be judged by the
record, and do not yield to any one
for telling the truth, but in order to
put it beyond question, l gave the
proof. Respectfully,
