Memorial Services by the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers.

Last Sunday, June the 18th, was observed
az memorial day by the local Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers.
S nee the Brotherhood was organized at Alb
beville the last call has been made TO many
of the Brotherhood, and the call boy was
Death.
Few appreciate the dangers 10 which this
heroic BAND sui ject themselves in the pub
lie service. AS a rule the engineers are among
the best hearted people In the land. Honest,
light-hearted, open, frank, and men OF nerve
and courage, they are not usually rated at
their true value. Many a sacrihce OF lie has
been made by the engineer to save the pas.
seogers in the rear. They are big hearted
men-men worthy OF the immense response.
bIlity which rests upon them.
Abbeville, especially, Is happy In the per.
sounel Of It's Brotherhood. No higher type OF
men can be found anywhere In the entire
land.
There is something strikingly sad IN the
holding OF these memorials OF the Brother
hood-as they 60 back TO the ears that have
flown and take up the broke threads OF their
lives-as they live over again their lives for q
short time with their former comrades who
have answered the last call. and, too. az they
know that they are subjected to the same
dangers day by day.
But these men are brave men. While they
revere the memories of their comrades OF the
throttle; while they deplore their deaths, nev.
ertheless they meet every call, and meet II
with the mark of q true soldier and q deVo-
ton to duty that is uneIcelled In any Voca-
ton In this broad land. ,

for that we praise you"

Politics %Unchurched.

We learn hat the elders and the pastor OF
the Presbyterian Church refused the use Of
their church for the purpose of converting
the next monthly Union meeting into what
was called a temperance meeting. 1t was
proposed 10 send of for speakers Tor the oc-
caslon, so as TO relieve the pastor OF embar-
assment. But DR.. Wilson commended mat
the pastor wa responsible for the conduct Oh
meetings In bis own church, and suggested
that the temperance meeting be held In the
Court House or in the Opera House. 10 llKe
manner the stewards in the absence CT Inc
pastor, refused 10 allow their church 10 &c
used for that purpose. We believe 1t Is now
contemplated TO get the Court House for the
meeting, where a prospective candidate for a
State office is expected TO be one OF the star
speakers.
A good many years ago, a large majority OF
the votes on the subject OF prohibition was
for prohibition. And 1t may be that the peo-
pie are tired of the dispensary and would
like to give the blind tigers a chance.
Whatever the result the people Of Able
willie may be depended on 10 do the right, &C
cording to the lights before them. They are
sensible, honest and patriotic. Hthey know
the facts, they, like an Abbeville Court Jury,
may be depended upon 10 send In a true yer
dict. All that anybody could ask is hat the
cause OF temperance be fairly represented
and that nothing be misrepresented.
To hold a one-sided mass meeting is no

Orators on both sides should be heard. L
the proposed public meeting is instructive
and both sides are heard the people viii
abide the result cbeeriully. To present one

val Of Impartial people. We want no tricks BY
which the people are either kept in the darh

Makes Money For State.

Over six thousand dollars will be
transferred to the state general rev.
enue fund June l because of a seem.
lngly unimportant law passed by the
last legislature at the suggestion of
the state auditor. The transfer is
due to the law taking the state board
of Veterinary examiners of a fee basis
and placing it on the basis on the
basis of direct appropriation. The
board charges $40 for the examina-
ton OF every applicant for a certificate
and 81 for renewals. This brings in
about $500 a year. 1t costs o "
soOO year to run the department
and a fuhd of $500 has accumulat

should be kept in mind. As q general
proposition the roots seek first to oc.
cupy the soil near the surface of the
ground, and it is estimated that thirty
days after planting the space between
rows that are three feet apart is
largely occupied by the corn roots.
The largest roots of course are found
nearest, the stalk, say within a radius
OF eight inches. After the roots have
spread out from the stalk the ten
dency is to grow downward toward
moisture. 1t is, therefore, easy to
see how deep cultivation after the
first time through the field will re-
tard the growth of the plant.
When land was cheap superficial
cultivation of corn could more often
be overlooked than at the present
time. Ten acres then was a davis
work, where five or six acres is or
should be now, unless two row cult
vator is used. If the cultivation of
corn on the average farm were more
In keeping with the sense of the word,
