rARMERs LOSING MEAT.

We are told in the Bible that the stars in their courses fought against Sisera," but 1t looks as If the seasons in their courses have been fighting against the farmers and especially the meat-raisers of this section. The fol- lowing from The Albany (Ga) Herald
 is one of number of similar items that we have seen in our exchanges:
 It is a matter of genuine regret to The Herald that the farmers Of all South Georgia who have had hogs to
 Ing their meat, so far this winter.
 From reliable sources it is learned
 that thousands of dollars worth of fresh meat has been lost, owing to the
 unreasonable weather that followed
 the cold snap that came | Christmas
 time. The loss of so much meat is
 little short of a calamity to this sec
 ton of the State and it is all the that the average farmer raises none
 too many pokers at best. and may be easily discouraged by such bad luck" as has oVertakcn so many of them in
 saving their meat this season. Ordi- narily the intelligent and prudent farmer experiences no trouble in cur ing his meat in this climate. but this winter has been an exceptional one so ' that has prevailed since Christmas has been almost unprecedented.
 The unreasonable weather of the
 early winter worked q two-fold hard
 ship on the farmers. It forced them either to kill their hogs when the
 weather was not suitable or to feed
 them longer than usual The average farmer in this part of the world does not usually have surplus of corn. and if conditions force him to feed his hogs sveral weeks longer than usual, it means a scarcity of corn later on.
 Hog killing time" generally comes as early in the winter ss the weather
 will warrant. so that the meat is ready for use and the feed saved We have heard and read of many who ventured 10 kill their hogs when the first cold

When the smoke of battle cleared Will Mont gomery was lying on the ground shot through and Menerfield after walking short distance from the scene Of the conflict, dropped dead.
 The shooting occurred at the depot at Scottsville, where quite a number of people were present, and wild con. fusion reigned. Dr. Van Potts of ScottsvilIe will carry Montgomery to Birmingham tomorrow to have an op- eration performed, hoping possibly to save his life.

DON'T PULL DOWN THE TEMPLE

Tn the present eongested condition of all the railroads any legislation that will still further cripple their carry ing capacity would do damage to every interest in the State. Yet it is gravely proposed to cut off one-seventh of their carrying capacity and to pun ish and to fine railroads for inability to meet requirements when they are working every day and hour of the twenty four.
 MT. W. P. G. Harding, President of the First National Bank of Birming- ham, and who knows the financial and business situation in this State as we'll as any living man. in recent letter. among other things said of the pro- posed Sunday train bill:
 From a business standpoint, the ability of the railroads to move cars would be diminished one-seventh, or more than II per cent. Every fall during the active movement of cotton, We are confronted with serious short age of cars, due not so much to lack of cars as to the inability of the rail- roads to move them. If this movement is brought to a standstill one day out of every seven. the coi. gestion would be much aggravated and the ability of the banks to supply funds to move the cotton crop would be greatly curtailed. Money rates would necessarily he high . er and a general stringency would re- suit
 The point in the above to which we wish to call attention is the delay in moving freight and the consequent loss to those who produce the stuff that is to be moved. It is well for legislators while attempting to punish railroads, not to hurt everybody else. Blind Samson pulled down the pillars of the temple and wrought ruin to all within it's reach. While Samson sought de- struction of his enemies, the trend of such legislation as above referred to is to bring ruin upon many great inter- ests and industries.

The Birmingham Age-Hsrald say

The Birmingham Age-Herald says. What Mars. Conner says, seems to go at Montgomery" In the same issue of the paper, with the above Is tele- gram from Montgomery saying the tioveFnor had approved joint resolu- tions relatEHto the election of Senators Morgeh and Pettus. The date of ap- proval wasss5anuary 2s. They were formally eieeted January 2s. The Gov srnor had nd more to do with those joint resolutions arranging fer com paiance suk part of the Legislature with thS t4NS for election of Senators than the man 3in the moon. Suppose he had disapproved them. which he had ssst as much right to do, and no more, aa to approve. It would not have amounted to anything. Next. we will hear, probably, will be his approval or disapproval of resolutions submitting cpnstitutional amendments, If any are adopted. The matter of approval or rejection of constitutional amendments rests with the people, and the Governor has no voice in it. When the two Houses adopt them, they have to be submitted for popular vote without going through the Governors hands for approval.

SOME JURY TNooNvnNIENcEs.

There is one phase of the proceed ings In the Thaw case that works a genuine hardship, if not injustice. how ever firmly 1t may be fortified by law or precedent. We allude to the action of the Judge in locking up each juror as he is accepted and sworn in and holding him an actual prisoner, al least until all the jurors are selected Whether the men will be temporarily released from durance when the panel is completed we do not know, but un- til that time they are prisoners We know that it is not unusual for jury to be kept together after trial begins and not allowed to separate till the verdict is rendered. but this is an en- tirely different proposition.
 As all know who have kept track Of the proceedings in this case, It mas been found difficult and slow work to secure sufficient competent jurors. There are so many causes of excuse, and so many objections advanced by the attorneys on one or the other slue that the work of getting acceptable and competent jurors Is very tedious. and it seems like a real hardship on each man accepted to lock him up As The New Haven Register says, the talesmen who have been summoned into court to act as possible jurymen have almost to a man resented the plan of locking them up for an indefinite time and separating them from their busi- ness, friends and families. One tales man told the judge Friday that though he was sure he would be able to give a verdict strictly in accordance with the evidence under normal conditions of service, he feared that the pro- longed confinement threatened would get on to his nerves and unmake him as an efficient court officer. That both the prosecution and defense realize the possible effect of this confinement IS shown in their examination Of the talesmen with regard to their idea of the consequences to result from it. And this case causes The Register to comment on the jury system in this manner:
 It can. of course, at once be said that these are among the penalties imposed by the jury system upon our ctlzen- ship and that they must be borne witn patience and with patriotism, but tnls may not be the way the proposition strikes one whose daily labor IS eltner to himself or his employers an fsem or pressing importance. Both are much more apt to inquire if there is not possible substitute to take the place of the jury system: under which those who are officers of the law may per form the necessary judicial service, In other words. so inconvenient is n9s 1t Tor from his business to give jury service that if he finds that it means for him him from his home as well. he will permit himself to be counted among those who favor the abolition of the jury . and the substitution of three trial judges. We certainly look to see the Thaw jury experience give stimulus to the trial judge system. for as prac- ticai people we shall look about eager ly for a means of escaping that kind of self sacrificing service.

Some of our exchanges refer to John & Wise as former Governor Wise. There has been but one Governor of Virginia named Wise and that was Henry A. Wise. who stemmed the tide of Knownothingism when it reached tbat State. He was Governor at the time of John Browns raid at Harper's Ferry, and at the time the old aboH- ti0nist and murderer was hung. John & Wise. is his son, and is brilliant man. He cast his fortunes with tho Republican Party at the time General Malone went over. He was elected to Congress from Virginia in the days when Malone was the boss in Virginia but he was defeated when he ran for Governor. His home now is in New York.
