MR.. BENNETT AGAIN TALKS
Believes the Other Side Argues From
Wrong Premises

EDITOR CENSOR: One word as to the
paper" controversy with neighbor
Bentson, and am done. In Mr.. Bent
sons first article it was said that II cost
II ore 10 board patients at the county
house than at a first-class hotel. This
statement was exploded by me. In Mr..
Bentson's last article be answers my
statement of facts by saying that he
knows it has not cost me anything TO
board patients at the asylum. Thus he
argues in a circle, and having started
nowhere, and with wrong premise,
must needs end at the same place.
In my first article / drew compari-
son between certain fige-year periods at
the asylum and county farm. Mr.. Bent
son promptly replied by saying that
had given the cost of a certain year,
thus lodging the issue entirely. / said
also, that Mr.. POWELL had done the ce-
ment work himself without expense to
the county for labor. This was ans
wered by the claim that / had stated
that he paid for all the permanent i'm
provements-which | never said-and
an attempt to explode the straw man
thus created. Instead of such "argu-
ment" let anyone interested visit the
] farm and see what has been done. One
thing more the people should know

MONITORS LOG PRESERVED.
1t Was Given to Navy Department by
CAPTAIN Stodder.

1t Was Given to Navy Department by
Captain Stodder.
The original log book of the famous
Monitor, covering the period of her en-
gagement with the Confederate iron
clad Merrimac in Hampton Roads on
March ., 1852, is preserved among the
historic records of the navy depart
ment.
The restoration OF the log to the de-
partment was due to Captain Louis
Stodder Of the United States revenue
cutter service and an officer on the
Monitor during her entire service. For
years he treasured the log among his
most valuable possessions, but as the
iniirmites Of age increased he desired
to see it placed where its preservation
might be assured. Hence it was that
he Forwarded it to the library of the
navy department.
The entries cover dates from Feb. %
to the end OF 1862 and tell Of the little
cheese ~ on a raft laundering off
Cape Hatteras on Dec. 81, 1862, when
Stodder was acting master, and Of her
Engagements with the Confederate bat
teries at SewalI's Point, Hampton
Roads, and at Fort Darling in the
James river. But by far the ost in
teresting concern the fight with the
Merrimac. Among the entries on Sun

over to the counter where his

point of health. the garden fills an
important place. Fresh vegetables
are the most healthfm Of foods and
in their absence in the rural dis
tricts, dependence must be placed
on canned goods which is an infea
Tor substitute. Vegetables cannot
be procured as fresh and palatable
as when gathered from the garden

favor and crispness which is entir-
