In the drift of the conversation it turned upon the prospects of the small grain crop, when we learned the following facts. | A well known Columbia grocery lirra in tlie fall, employed a gentleman of the northwestern section of the county j to represent them in the sale of seed oats. The farmers of that section, or at least a great number of them, purchased the seed, (one man taking SSO.Oo worth of;seed,) and planted their crop. To their regret none of the seed came up, and complaint was made to the firm, after it was learned beyond a doubt that the seed were worthless. The firm, we were tokl, Informed the farmers that they would take the seed back, which of course was impossible, or they would make a reduction to the price of"feed oats. As a consequence of this the crop in than section will be very short this season. The difficulty with the seed j it, seems was that they had been kiln dried, supposed to be for manufacturing oatmeal, and the vitality of the seed destroyed. There has been considerable complaint in fVie matter, and we think it nothing but right and proper that the facts be made known. ^f 4l\/* ?e MAf nf \Sk VUlllOt tilU U1U1 AO &ivu Vselling snch seed knowingly, but tbe trouble is as to wbere the loss should fall. The Sphere of Goveresient. "Herbert Spencerin one of his books holds it to be the essential duty of government to protect?to maintain men's right to life, to personal liberty j and to property; and the theory that the government ought to undertake other offices besides that of protection, lie regards as untenable. Each man has a right to the fullest exercise of i " ' ' " IiL i.U? i an ins racumes compauuiu witu uiv same right in others. This is the j fundamental law of equal freedom j which it is the duty, and the only j dntv of the State to enforce. If the ! State goes beyond this it becomes an aggressor. Thus all regulation of J commerce, all enactments for the relief j of the poor, for the promotion of edu- j cation, for the establishment of sani-! tary lavt s, or of the postofiice, or of a J national currency, or of a system of j public highways, stand condemned, | not only as ineffective for their re-1 spective purposes, but as being violaLions of man's natural liberty." Such is the nonsense that a so-called I scientist promulgates. One might think that Herbert Spencer supposed [he millennium to be at hand, but not ;o, for there will be no need of any government, as every man will be a righteous law unto himself. * ITEMS FROM JiVCKHEAJ). 3fc$srs. Editors: Some say the j fruit crop has been injured by the recent cold wave. Spring oats are ooking fine and the prospect of a j golden harvest is encouraging. Garlen crops are not as forward as usual, ;he unusual wet and cold spring deterred early early planting. Dr. J. R. Coleman, of Feasterville, is spending a few days at the "Head."
