rations drawn promiscuously and no
account or charge made of same-and
that extortion and cruelty are in many
instances-cases Of which are given
practiced upon the unsuspecting ne
groes.
The report urgently condemns the
bureau in both Virginia and North
Carolina as nuisance, operating
harmfully by reason Of it's mal-admin-
istration to both employer and en-
ployee. It recommends the withdrawal
of all the agents as a measure Of prac-
tical policy for the country and econ
omy for the government.
These officers, we are glad to OBJ
bureau to their real causes. That they
have not come for a embarrassing"
report Is already evident. This Is,
however, a little strange. The ultra
Radicals and friends Of the bureau
both in and out Of congress, have been
promising the enemy a truthful
showing when these commissioners
made their report. So they have re-
ported in part and we hope their
former friends will now stand by them
and support their claims to veracity.
The state Of affairs in South Caro-
lima, 1t Is said, Is equally Objectionable
as far as the bureau Is concerned. No
report has yet been published from
this state but we are gratified that an
impartial and working commission Is
searching out it's abuses. 1t Is need
less to promise that they will succeed
in finding them abundantly.
Gen. Howard, the grand head center
of the bureau, has become highly in
dignant at the loss Of character his
protege is about to suffer and loses his
dignity as we'll as his temper in his
recently published letters upon the
subject. The happiest thing that
could happen to the country from this
expose would be to kick Howard and
the miserable crew Of agents and Of
ficials under him in the middle Of
some unknown hereafter.

SllO FILLING TIME
Important to Have Enough Men and
Teanos - kA~n M,.Li.>x, - u~.l<

Important to Have Enough Men and
Teams to keep Machinery at Work.
Silo filling time Is at hand in many
parts Of the state and, for the benefit
Of those who are having their first ex-
perience with silos and silage and for
those who are not quite certain that
they have been doing the work prop
erly in the past, Clemson College is is
suing a few simple directions which,
carefully observed, will enable one to
fill silo economically and properly.
Corn should be harvested for silage
when the ear Is dented and the shuck
begins to turn brown, or shortly be-
fore the corn is fully ripe.
The most important point In filling
a silo is to make certain in advance
that there will be enough men and
teams for cutting, hauling, feeding,
distributing and other operations to
keep the silo-filling machinery at work
all the time. It is when a man per-
mits his engine to stop every few
hours and has to start it again at
much trouble that silo-filling becomes
irksome and expensive, and the only
way to avoid this is to determine in
advance the number Of men and teams
it will require for the work and to
keep the machinery in motion con-
stantly.
Hauling the corn to the silo is an
other important item. A farmer who
has his silage corn field far from his
silo will realize the mistake Of this
when he begins to haul. Silage corn
should always be planted as near as
possible to the barn. A big labor
saver in hauling is the low-down
wagon. The work Is done much more
easily when the men do not have to
lift the corn to great height to load
it into a high-bodied wagon. Low
bodied wagons may be bought cheap
ly or may be made easily. Directions
for making them are given in Farm
ers' Bulletin SIS, U. s. department of
agriculture.
In filling a silo with an ordinary
blower. there is a tendency for all
larger pieces Of ear to fall in one place
while the stalks and leaves will be
blown a little farther over. 1t is best,
for this reason, to have distributor
attached to a blower, but, IL none
is had, a man should be in the silo
with a fork to distribute the grain
we'll over the surface. Men should
also be IN the silo to pack the silage
around the walls instead of letting 1t
accumulate in the center. These men
should tramp and pack the silage
thoroughly.
When the silo has been filled, the
top layer of silage should be made
thoroughly wet so as to form an air.
tight covering and prevent the spoil
ing of the silage for a greater depth
than eight inches or a foot. There
will be a slight loss in the top layer
Of silage unless it is used immediate
ly. One need not wait day after fill
ing the silo before beginning to use
the silage.

10 him not to come, it'll be all the
anne; he'll come anyway, and when
he does come, I'll get him."
When Miss Farnham had gone in
and there was nothing left for him to
do but to compass his own disappear
ance Broffin went away, telling him
self with many Establishments that for
once in his professional career he had
made an ass of himself. The doctors
daughter knew Of the man; she had
known him before the robbery; she
was willing to be his accomplice to
the extent Of her ability. There was
only one explanation of this attitude.
In Broffln's wording of it, Miss Farm
ham was "gone on him." if not open
ly, at least to such an extent as to
make her anxious to shield him.
That being the case, Broffin set it
down as a fact as good as accom-
plished that the man would sooner or
later come to Wahaska. The detec-
tive's knowledge of masculine human
nature was as profoundly acute as the
requirements of his calling demanded.
With a woman like Miss Farnham for
the lure, he could be morally certain
that his man would sometime fling
caution, or even a written prohibition,
to the winds, and walk into the trap.
This misfire of Broffin's happened
upon a Wednesday, which, in its cal
endar placing, CHANGED to be three
weeks TO a day after Griswold had left
Mereside to settle himself studiously
in two quiet upper rooms In the
Widow Holcombs house in upper
Shawnee street.
That it was also a day of other CO.
incidences will appear in the casting
up of the items on the page of events.
For one thing. it marked the formal
opening of the De Soto inn for the
summer season. For another, the
special train from the far South arriv-
ing at noon and bearing the first de-
tachment of the inns guests, had for
one of its Pullman passengers an
elderly gentleman with strongly
marked Scottish face; n gentleman
+, with the bushy white eyebrows of age,
the long upper lips of caution, the
dropping eyelid of irascibility, and the
bearing of Il man of routine; in other
words. Mr.. Andrew Galbraith, faring
northward on his customary summer
vacation, which-the fates intervening
he had this time determined tC
spend at the Wahaskan resort.
For a third item, it was at three
o'clock of the same Wednesday that
Raymer came out of Jasper Grierson's
bank with his head down and cloud
on his brow; the cloud dating back
to an interview just closed, a short
and rather brittle conference with the
banks president held in Jasper Grier-
sons private room, with the president
sitting at ease in his huge armchair
and his visitor standing, quite desti-
tute of ease, at the desk-end.
Raymers horse was only a short
half-square away, htched in front Of
the Winnebago house. and he went to
| get it. But at the instant of unhitch-
| ing, Miss Grierson's trap was driven
up and the untying of knots paused

Garrison Removed.


The garrison which has been sta
toned at this place since November
last, with Capt. M. Boyce as COM
mandant was yesterday relieved and
ordered to rendezvous at Chester. S. c.
This movement, though not exactly so
stated, Is presumed to be a conse-

tion relieving the country from martial
law.
1t gives us pleasure to state that
Capt. Boyce, during his stay here has
executed his delicate duties in a spir-
it of frankness and honesty generally
in satisfactorily manner to the peo-
pie. The peculiar relationship of gov
ernor and governed, was such as to
place the commandant to some ex-
tent in antagonism with the people,
but we are free to say that Capt.
Boyce discharged his duties more ac-
ceptably than most others would
have done.

from Saml Smith & Co., bankers Of
that city. A few months ago these
gentlemen suspecting that the money
had found it's way toward the u. S.

pockets, decided to try the virtue Of
legal proceedings to recover this sum.
