Kditor County Record: If 1 understand *O.I:ic,"| I do not atiree with Imnj wlien lie says; primary aim in ex!?rniiifalint: tiut-^ra>s should j he 1<> prevent it ma'uiin^ seed above pound. Now. J do not know whetin*r he , has in mine! :i definite plan to pre- j vonl this, or whether he means) to say that nnv metliod will <10, pmvided no seal is allowed toj lorni. 4 t.f eonrse, ail nzreo tin' no seed tita-d pow, whether it. propagates 11 <t!i> ihp s.H-,1 or not. i> 111 here ss the point, no nut> mu-t mature; : lor it i< well known that new nuts ' will uifijoienlly mature to sprout i ?tiit helore tlie plant 1:00s to seed, i So any plan that will prevent the lorrnation t?l utav uuls wiil, in a vi-j v few years,eradicate the post: 1'or the vitalitv of t!;e w!d >?ul ! <loes not last many vear>; I do iiot know lniw many, hut 1 think from two to lour, according to en- \ viroiiiueiils. My neighbor said a tranipins' stock lot killed out his in two years; u:.d .'lie sheepman said I Ik* sheep on a close pasture killed out his in (wo years. Now, it is very plain that if no Mades of tiie grass can grow above ground the ground tlie tints can-1 not grow; and so any plan that prevents the growth of the leavesj at all front frost to frost will prevent the forming of new nuts. Therefore, the best and cheapest plan to do tins demands pur attention, we should go to work and J study it out aud let others know, j 1 am temnte 1 to tell on a getle- i man?a good fanner, too?whoj had some nut grass on one of his ; garden squares, and became so demoralized that he dug a deep ditch all annuel it. t lire w t he ear- h inside the square, making a little; mound, and let the whole square j ^ ;o to gras-," weeds and little y tr-e-, But the out grass claimed the little mountain, ami 1 suppose it is there to-day: 1 clou J I;now whether it ever crossed the I ditch or not. lint let me say to the Doctorr.: Cease your fright?I cede ao serritory?go backt o the garden, uproot those trees, level that mound, till up that ditch,make a pen and tramp the place two j - < 1 ? i years wnn \our cows, uuu uum i be bossed by nu'-grass; or, you can plant the place in mutton corn in A)arch, plough it and watch lor the sprouts, and with a garden trowel take them up by the root every two weeks. Just before you work it over burn them, and repeat till frost. It is not a bigjob on a little patch like a gar-j aen square, [destroyed a small! patch of them pretty much the! same way in about *3 years, find-i ing very lew the last year. I forgot to say that nut grass is now just starting to bloom in i'OSSUM *'011K.

MARTIN EXPLAINS An Extract i>om His Letter to the Southern Christian Advocate. t (Written lor last week.) Editor County Ilecord: ['lease allow me space in your i your worlhy paper to correct a false impression put. into circula- , lion by I he Abbeville Medium and I copied bv the Scranton News, j concerning an expression used by I tne a short time ago in an article ! published in the .Southern C'hris??.? . A Irn *.il? nil J hi* Ktlliifc't ot' prohibition. The article referred to was in | suppoit ol'prohibition as inoppo- | sit inn to the present dispensary j law of the .State, or any oth ?r li- j ijnor regulation wiiich has as its chief purpose a revenue monopoly rather than a test riot ion of the liquor evil. These papers, instead oi publishing my article in lull so as it might be fully understood by the intelligent reader, have seen lit to publish a single statement made by me, which in its connection is perfectly consistent with the entire article as published in the I Advocate; bet. knowingly or ig- j norantiy,they have used it in support ol the dispensary law of the Stale. It is much to In? deplored that some men, when in position to do so, will solar turret themselves as to place others in a false light before the public as well as prostitute the truth. The statement thev have gar- ; hied up l- the toliowini:: **I>r??lii- } 1 bition only means restriction; it j , cannot mean any ting else," This! statement, in it* connection, sim-j ply means thai we cannot hope i to have an absolute prohibition ot the manufact ure and sale of liquor i under any prohibitory regulation . any more than an absolute prohi-j bition of murder under any law < against murder, however extreme and rigid the penally; but lejial j prohibition will restrict and le.-- i sen the liquor curse, and that: without any money consideration.; Prohibition would certainly re- ( strict the drink evil, while the; nrKpnt di?n?msarv law simnlv i ? 1 * - I regulates it for the money there is j in it; and historv, it scrutinized, " 1 would show beyond all doubt that j not only is the law violated by its ! Iriends as well as many of its en- i emies, but that the drink habit is on the increase. If there were no great amount amount of revenue in the liquor business the State would soon go out ot the business. Take the money feature out of it and the frowning purpose would be destroyed: and yet fhev tell us restriction is the intention of the law. It restriction or the lessening ot thp evil fs her intention, with the vast amount of money tfie business brings to the State, to the cities and the towns, why does she not restrict without the money?. As long as. she makes a vast profit out of .her, liquor, sales, .so long will the curs? increase and its effects rebound on every social, moral and religious interest of her people, lrom th^s mansion to the, hut, and from her highest officials down to her most humble subjects. Fpr a strong prohibition .meats* ure we *iand, yesterday, to-day > and forever. Anything less would i be false to our manhood, untrue 1 lo our country and treacherous to Immunity. W.
