There was ono q writer in the time OF
Queen Elizabeth, y'clept Leonard Digges,
who did dig most a%siduously into things
astronomical and exc who was a seer OF
renown.
he did in the year 1876 in we towne Of
London write q most wonderful work en-
titled "Prognostication Enverlastinge."
In it this wonderfully wise man says
Counties signife corruption of the ayre
They are signes Of earthquakes, Of wares,
Of changing Of k%yngdomes, create
dearthe of corne. yea, a common death OF
man and beast"
First "cometes signitie corruption Of the
ayre." Greenwood and Anderson are un.
certain yet what the trouble is with their
atmosphere. 1t has Eel affected moon
shine" in Greenville, and in Charleston
the water has been 80 ''cometiZed" that
nobody dares drink it.
Second, they are signes Of earthquakes,
evidently the writer meant cyclones, for
did not q cyclone hit the q. S. Senate only
last week and square in the faceN "OI
wares and Of changing Kingdoms" and
what could be truer? The Democrats are
going to win out in the next fight las sure
as grass grows round the stump"
The next terror that this E~liZabethiaI
quill pusher aabbergasts us with is 8
Create dearthe Of corne!" Holy smoke
Now who will raise any objection to the
laughing gas theory? A"Greate dearthe
Of corne!" and corn already out Of sight
up q tree, on a limb, in a hole! Wonder l.
ha meant to include fat backs in his tariff:
But this wise seer, Digges, knew that II
would not do to leave US in such miser!
81 he kills the whole "shootin' match
YEA, a common death to man and beast
he says will be the result, so, watch thu
comet!

Aiken. Cothran and Geo. Johnston from

Aiken, Cothran and Geo. Johnston from
South Carolina.
If these men do not compare favorably
with the very best in their respective
states, then the best men are a type that
it has never been our pleasure to know.
They certainly compare favorably with the
best men who are sent to Congress from
the Western States, in whom Mr.. McGee
seems to have found such superior ability.
Coming home to our present delegation
in Congress, it may be said t~ruthfully,
that there are fewer colonies and Judges
in the lot than ever hailed from a state,
but the state is the gamer for that fact.
| These men are all young and were chosen
because of their merit, and for no other
reason, and they are making regulations
by strict attention to the interests OF their
constituents and the State.
Through the Record we have followed
their courses in Congress pretty closely.
In point Of ability as well rs of constant
and faithful service, we do not believe that
even Mr.. McGhee could select more repre-
sentative men from this oCate.
Sometimes we are at fault ourselves in
Judging the faults of others.
AS q matter fact, who is better capable
OF Judging of the ability Of representatives
than the people themselves. Is Mr.. Nc
Ghee's judgment to be set up against the
combined wisdom and patriotism OF the
State.
Could it possibly be that Mr.. McGhee has
some Interior motive in thus giving our
representatives a stab. Say not thou,
What is the cause that the former days
we're better than these? for thou dost not
enquire wisely concerning thisy"
To say the least Of it, MIR. McGhee's arti-
Gle was uncharitable if not wholly untrue.

Unfair TO South Cardinals Delegation
Contributed.)

(COnCrlDuteQ.)
Zach McGhees articles written from
| Washington are always readable, and they
are generally fair. In an article appear
ling in The State Of last Tuesday, however,
he was unfair to representatives in Con-
gress generally, and especially so to those
of his own State.
Amongst other things he asserted that
mo State sends its best man to Congress
or ever did" This is a sweeping assertion,
and for one as well informed as Mr.. Nc
Chez is, and for one as free as we think he
is OF any kind Of animus, it is hard to
fathom.
A little reflection recalls the names Of
Reagan, Mills Culberson and bailey Of
Texas; Brickuiridges from Arkansas and
Kentucky; Blackburn and Carlisle from
Kentucky; Morgan, Pettus, Pugh and
Herbert from Alabama; Harris, Bate, Tay-
lor and Carmack from Tennessee; Hill

Redeemed by Milo

A systematic campaign is about to
he begun by the Colorado Agricultural
college to reclaim the plain section of
eastern Colorado, and build up a perma-
nent farming community by raising
milo, Il species of Kaffir corn. Expert
ments that have been going on for some
time have demonstrated to the satisfac-
ton of the Agricultural society that
about 25,000,OO0 acres in the state of
Colorado are adapted to tn raising of
milo, which is IL satisfactory article for
feeding.
1t has been noted that the people on
the plains have depended too much on
the raising of wheat to their sorrow
Prof w. H. Cottrell director of the in
stitute at the college. says that the peo-
pie have been starved out by raising
wheat, and that they nave found some.
thing in milo that would bring people
back to the plains and start them on
the road to prosperity.
In the past fourteen years there have
been only two failures of milo, which
has been raised as an experiment in the
vicinity of Cheyenne Wells, and during
theso two bad years there was sufficient
crop for fodder.
Milo has high value as a feed for
work horses, beef and dairy animals,
hogs and poultry, 100 pounds being equal
to ninety pounds of corn.
If milo works such wonders in Col
orado, would it not work still greater
wonders in Nevada? 1t is certainly a
subject of sufficient Importance for
careful study.-Reno Journal.
