Envy and jealousy are Attributes OF
small men; little fellows VINO try to
iniure institutions with which they
are not connected; peewhistle mis-,
chief makers who write articles for
the papers rejecting on school men
who outshine them in the same work.
We believe Fairmont people do not
approve Of paying a high salary TO a
public school man to write sensational
md malicious falsehoods about a
State institution in their midst OF
which they are proud ana which
brings several hundred young people
here from about thirty counties
of the State. it was bad enough FOR
this same man to knock on the school
when away from home conducting in
stttutes. but 1t is worse for him to lie
about it in order to try to check the
present growth and advancement
which are calling to MIN. Even the
Times is sorry it published his rot
whether he knows it or not.

Some Plain Talk.

The liquor interests not only fought
the State Republican ticket but in
some cases the local county ticket,
Now, what does the Republican party,
State or locally. owe the liquor inter
ests? The sooner the Republican par
ty comes cut boldly against tlis evil
the sooner 1t will have all of the best
people OF all parties with it. The
people are tired Of toadying to the
liquor interests and being coerced by
the giant and are rapidly throwing
off the yoke.-Morgnn Messenger.

Tread lightly friends, let no rpa G sound

And when he dies so plant MIN deep

Where no rude clamor may lispel

A Contrivanee That Is Convenient
Useful and Substantial.
To make portable fence that is sub
stantial as well my practice Is to take
a bale of forty-eight inch poultry wire
netting. says DIR. J. A. Whitman OF
Beaufort. S. G. Use anything that
will make a stake sufficiently strong
to hold it up. Then with an iron bar
make holes about eight feet apart
around the lot you wish to inclose.
Now put in tire stakes. driving them
down litt!s to make them firm; then
take fourenny nail and drive 1t into
the stakes on the side you are going to
nut on the netting as high as your net
ting is wide or 50 the netting will rest
upon the ground.
Now commence at one corner ana
unroIl your netting around to the start
ing point. If it does not take the whole
roll. leave it on the roll. Next com
mence and hang up the netting on the
nails that are partly driven in. stretch
ing it as you hang it up. Then take
common plastering laths and nail over
the netting on the stakes with two OF
three fourpenny nails, leaving the
heads out just enough to draw with
hammer when you want to take tho
fence down.
If YOU have Il surplus Of netting. rol
up the surplus anl fasten 1t 20 the last
stake with Il string or piece of wire
If one roll is not enough, proceed will
the second roll just the same way.
When you get through with Its use
all you have to do is to draw the nails
from tie Iaths and posts. lay down the
netting. roll up, pull the stakes anC
lay them away for another time.

Poultry and Poultry Food Prices

Poultry food of all kinds has steadily
advanced in price for the past three
or four years, but that is no reason for
killing off your stock at this season Of
the year, feeling you cannot afford to
keep and feed the same at the present
prices of food, says American Poultry
Advocate. You will find that the prices
of market poultry and eggs have ad-
vanced in the same proportion, and
the profit in keeping poultry is great
er than ever before, Notwithstanding

Court of the United States and
will have to serve their senten-
ces of four years each in the pen
itentiary and pay a fine aggrega-
ting over 81, 900, 900. Green and
Gayner were the famous cOntrac-
tors for the Savannah harbor
work. the men who conspired
with Capt. Oberlin M. Carter,
the Army Engineer Corps officer,
to do the government out of over
a million dollars. Carter was the
first and only army engineer who
has ever gone wrong in money
matters and his downfall was a
severe blow to the pride of the
Corps and almost killed Gen. j.
M. Wilson, the then Chief Engi-
neer of the Army. Capt. Carter
fought his case hard and denied
that he had profted by any
wrong doing, but the court took
a different view of it and Carter
came up like a man, served his
term in Leavenworth, and got
through with it. He always was
a fine engineer, whatever Other
shortcomings he might have had
and he is now in the employ of {
big railroad and his past almost
forgotten. But Green and Gay
ner were rich men aside from the
fruits of their crookednesS, anC
they fought extradition as Ions
as they could in New York anC
then jumped to Canada. For al
most ten years they kept up th'
fight. They lived at the best no
tel in Quebec, lived like the mil
lionaires they were, but they
were cut by the only people they
would have liked to associate
with and finally fell out with eacl
other so that they must have led
a very unpleasant existence. Fl
nally, they were lodged in jai'
for seven months and then brou''
back to the United States. They
were convicted in Savannah anC
now they have the prospect Of
four years in the penitentiary a
head of them with a fine of ovel
half a million each and having
spent 100000 each to prevent
being convicted. Their sordiC
romance is all over but the sen
tence. Justice has caught ul
with them at last, and probably
they think now that Capt. Car
ter was the wiser man.
