JEFFERSON DAVIS BIRTHDAY.

birthday
This brought up a train of memories
Fifty years ago last January Georgia
seeded from the union, and within
five months ten states had followed
her example and in only one was the
vote unanimous, namely. North Caro-
lima.
The reason of the war lay in the
$4,000, 900 of slave property and what
would become of it after Mr.. Lincoln
went into the White House.
Mr.. Lincoln was elected on November
Q, 1860. Four days later James Chest
nut, senator from South Carolina, re-
signed his seat. On the same day the
legislature heard a resolution to cal
out and equip 10000 volunteers. The
secession of South Carolina followed on
December 20. 1860. The election for
delegates was held on December 6. In
two weeks the secession was declared,
1t was intended that the Confederacy
would be a slave holding government
and South Carolina representatives sc
declared
do not know that the statement was
true, but the report went abroad that
Lincoln was hanged and burned in effi-
gy in the town of Aiken.
On January Is, the state of Georgia
appropriated $1.OOO,OOO to arm and equip
the state On the 18th the state Sc
ceded. :.

On the 9Th jefferson Davis was elected
president and A. H. stephens vice pres
ident.
on May 81 the Confederate congress
assembled in Richmond, Va.
On May 9, 1861, an act was passed re-
cognizing a state of war.
Four years later almost to the day
the cessation of hos --~s was announc-
ed by Pres Andy Johnson in Washing
ton II
Mr.. Davis had the position of com
mander in chief taken from him early
in 1865. The command was given &c
General Lee few days later.
On April General Lee surrendered
at Appomattox. South Carolina return
ed to the union in September, 1865
The 100000 of slaves were liberat-
ed, billions of dollars disappeared that
way. but other billions were spent to
coerce the seeding states back into the
union.
There have been billions spent in pay
ing pensions, a sink-hole that has nc
bottom.
The south lost its slaves and is fore
ed to pay general tax for pensions be-
sides there have been extra millions
paid to the south's veterans in pen
sions by state taxation not counting
the devastation made by armies or the
widows and orphans.
What a spectacle!

and damage with lavish hand, and for
what?

CORN SMUT.


Corn smut differs in life habits from
any of the other common smuts. and
methods of treatment are therefore diff
ferent. The covered smuts attack the
grain plants in the seeding stage, al
though the smut masses do not appear
until heading-out time. The loose
SHUTS gain entrance to the kernel of
grain at Towering time, and remain in
side the kernel until the next spring,
when the grain sprouts. The corn smut
on the other hand may attack the corn
plant az any time, provided there is
young and growing tissue. 1t is for
this reason that it is difficult to COM
bat.
Everyone is familiar with the large
smut masses occurring on practically
any above-grouad part of the corn
plant. These smut masses are made
up of countless millions of very minute
reproductive bodies known as spores,
each one of which may infect another
corn plant. These spores may be
blown about by the wind, may fall on
the ground, or remain on the corn
stalks which are used for fodder, thus
getting into the manure pile. The
spores may terminate under favorable
conditions producing. by a process Of
budding, a great many other spores
(sporidia). These sporidia may be pro-
duced in long chains; they are very
light and may be blown long distances
by the wind If they happen to be
blown to a corn plant they may infect
it causing smut. The presence of ma
nure is especially favorable to the de-
veloprent of these sporid.a; therefore
precautions should always be taken to
prevent the smut from getting into the
