As a matter of fact, am) I invito your attention particularly to tins point, experience has shown os during the past t^o year* And a half that just $4.4(5, per annum was necessary to be assesik d upon each person of the age of thirty-five years for each $1,000 of insurauoo, and only $t.4G a year tins consequently been assessed. This as sessment, moreover, includes and bos included the setti< g aside of 25 percent, of all monsy collected to constitute a 'trust’ or reserve fund which goes to the liquidation of death claims in exousa of those provided for by our rate of assess ment, which is based, a* I have told you, op the Auwricsu experience tablei.

ThkColcukd In >up*.—The PhllatTe!- phia Press Is worried about the demo cratic pnrty and the negro. It Is very much distressed, fot Instance, because there were only two companies of col ored troops In the grand proocselon that followed Prenfdeiit Cfovefand to the capitol and witnessed the ioaugu ration. The Free* then goes on to state that the vast majority of negroes iutbeaotnh eoffiffrtrt to cling to tbs republican party. So far as we know, n body h is ever disputed of this. The vast majority of negroes lu the south are republicans, but they are sps'het- le republicans. They no longer fl ck to the polls to vote the republican tick et, for the reaeon that they have learn ed that their condition Is just ss com fortable under a democratic tia under a republican administration. This Is certainly true with respect to Geornlo. When the democrats rescued 'he stale from the plundering repubti cans, the negrtavt were uneasy for a month or so, but they soon Milled tlown to work, and have Iveu aectfmti- lutitig property rd<1 acquiring homes ever since. Those t hat de* Iro to vote go to the polls and vote on election day, hot the great ra*j >rfty go about thelf business. The result ic that there Is never much of a contest be tween the ilemofTstlc find repulican port] s in Georgia, arid the negroes are better off than If they insisted on going to the polls an I Voting Dad nun Into office. They afe not democrats, perhaps, but they are good enough de mocrats to suit the purposes of those who desire to place good roeu in the teeponriblC offices. Whether the colored cltiz ns, finding that democratic rule ie l»etter fuf them and for their race—better fof their progress and prospority—will become democrats we do hot know. The Cjties tion Is an Interesting one. The answer thereto, In our opinion, will be decisive as to the capacity of the negro for rightly appreciating the resprofislbltti^s of dtizunshlp. Certainly n.) pressure will be brought to bear on him to bring him Ifrto the democratic party. He has his choice In the matter, as every other citizen has.—Atlanta Constitu tion. Hao'od's Bat.—Governor Hagood has turned nut to be a veritable phi- lanlitftyplsf, while growing rich. Hav- Ing laid aside official honors be devot es his energies to the raUing of Ber muda grans, which is cut, baled and sent here to such of osr needy farmers, as can glva the propof security on which to get credit, dur own lands are just as good as Governor Hegood's but we neglect to plant ours, while he gives the proper attention to his. He Is growing rich selling our farmers wbat they could grow as well as be can.—Abbeville Frees and Banner. Dhivk a pro RtoiiT Hrmt.—Mr. Allen C. Edwards, one of the most successful farmers of Georgia, says, by actual ex periment, that one bale of 500 Ibi. of good lint to the acre, costs between 8 and 4 cents per pound. One bale to 2 acres, costs between 7 and 8 cents per pound ; and one bale to 3 acres, coeta 10 cents per pound And over $ and a tike proportion with all other crops. This accounts for the profit And loss in the cotton crop. Any former who can see bis nose, can see the ruin that is ahead, if be persists in the many acre and few bales system of raising cotton., The remedy is—quit It, mfc»t« to tho cuklvatkxof u* may tain ftooto by uflffrMstoi the 'Oafetf Btatco Tea Form,Nuintorrrtllo, South Carolina.’ The •ppHcuats must etutff thru ouiUbwf of plant* desired aud pay the cost of transportation. The Philadelphia Pfeos thinks that tbs employment of women In cieriool eapealtles by the legtelature* ol Geor gia, Texas, Arkansas and other south- ore states I* an encouraging sign of the times. It fffdiOates, the Press thinks, the disappearance of tho mean, super stitious notion that a woman cannot undertake to eafo her oltn living With out sacrificing uottetbiog of her re finement and statue ns a lady.

An old aigral nervine officer Bay* that ailthc scieulfot« r GSQ do at.present Is to flud out wbat kfud of weather is floating around, and then by the aid Af tho telegraph, inform people lu Wbat direction it is traveling. The causes 1} log behind the evolution of the weather have yet to be discovered. The weather borean haa been very successful In Its predictions, very uettr ly ninety per. ceut of them being veri fied. There are all aorta of theories about weather. Butne people bold that the extrusion of the railway sya tem In vnrlontf parts of fhe coifntry has made drought lees common. Pro bably there is no perceptible climatic change going on. There will be a ae ries of cold years nnd then of mild yeais, butthe average will be about the eame. The present year shows the coldest average during the pres ent c utury. Such weather prophets as Tice, Yeunor and Wlgglus are not entitled to respect. There Is no way of forecasting the weather beyond for ty eight hours, and It is utterly Impos sible to foretell the character of the coming summer.
