The Press and Banner Wednesday, Dec. 9, 1885. They Didn't Think. BY rHOEBK CAKY. Once a trap was baited With a piece of cheese; It tinkled so a little mouse It almost made him sneeze. An old rat said, "There's danger? Ho careim wnere jmi n"> "Nonesense!" said the other, "I don't think you know!" 80 he walked in boldly; Nobody in sichr, First he took a nibble, Then he t -ok a bite. Close the trap toother Snapped as quick as wink, Catching mousey fa*t there, 'Cause he didn't think. Once a little turkey, Fond of her own way, Wouldn't ask the old ones Where to go or stay. She said: "I'm not a baby; Here I am half grown; Surely I am l>ig enough To run around alone!" Off she went; but somebody, x Hiding, saw her pass ; Soon, like snow, her feathers Covered all over the grass; So she made a snpp.-r F?r a sly young mink. 'Cause she was so headstrong That she wouldn't think. Once there was a robin Lived outside the door, Who wanted to go inside And hop upon the 11 >or. "No, no," said the mother. "You mnst stay with uic; Little birds are safest Sitting in a tree." *'I don't care!*1 said robin, And cave his tall a flins; 4-I don't think the old folks ' Know quite everything!" Down he Hew, and kiuy seized him Before he'd time to think t "Oh!" he cried, "I'm so:ry, But I didn't think!"' Now, my little children, You who read this son?. Don't you see what trouble Conies Irom thinking wrong? Can't you tik* a warning Fiotn their dreadful fate, "Who began their thinking When it was too late? Don't think there's always safety, Don't suppose you kuuw more Th.in nnvbodv knows Who lias gone before*. But, wtu-n you're warned of ruin, Punse djxin the brink, And don't jro under headlong 'Cause you didn't think. ^ i Remarkable Cieiilus. Greenwood Light. It will be remembered that W. .T. Carr, n one-armed white man. was convicted of breaking into the house of Messrs. Bailey, Ilarksdale & Co., of this place about two years ago and sentenced to the penitentiary for the term of Ave years, and last spring he succeeded in making cood his escape from that institution. His family, however, have lived in Hucklevel for the past year, where they made a crop, but a few days a?o they left for parts unknown. After their departure a secret d;?or ?/t/?tri*ritiiilv<liKmvprnd in the wall of the house recently occupied by the family, and upon Investigation it wa< discovered that thisdoor led to the garrett of the house and there it was seen nt once must have been Carr's hiding place for many months. He had there constructed a rude bed, and scattered ovei ^ the floor were papers hiu! railroad circulars and various other evidences of this haviny been his refuge. Those who have seen it say that it snrpasse* anything they have ever seen in the way ol construction and skilled workmanship; that families might live in the house for years and not detect the secret entrances and doors. Abo:it tlie Farm. [fCervhaiv Gazette.] The Importance of doing every thing now that (#in be done to put forward the work ol the coming spring cannot be over estimated or too strongly insisted on. Too many fanners content themselves, at this season, with merely saving the crops that have been made and perhaps getting up a little tire wood and erecting rude shelters for the stock. And nuiny, to tnetr discredit ubhspurcii, uu nut even this much for the stock, or for the coinlort of their Winter evening fireside. But the diligent farmer, who always look* ahead and who knows how ofteu the Spring work is delayed by rains and inclement weather, in autumn, anticipates the season and does ail that he can to lighten the labors of the busy time. The plowing of fallow land to turn in the vegetatioc on it, and cause it to rot that ii may do good next season, and to destroy insects and give the frost, God's plow, a chance to pulverize and ripen the soil; the hauling ol manure from the forest, and spreading it either berore or after the plow, or both; digging and clearing out ditches; and the clearing ol new land, are all branches of labor that can bo done at this season better than any other time, and, il done, goes very far indeed to put forward the labors of the coining Spring. Tlie Coming Campaign. A ntlerson Intelligencer. The Voice, the national organ of the prohi1.2. '"'n .? ..t. mn?i<rn OIIIUUIM^, fit V O III.Ik illl I .-.H.II04 1V for 188l> has been organized lor the South. A prohibition lecture bureau has been established which proposes to send .Southern speaker? to Northern States and Northern speakers tc Southern States. At a recent meeting of the bureau $5,000 was appropriated lor the Southern campaign of 1886, and arrangements were made lor the delivery of Of*) addresses by 51 persons." We do not want any prohibition canvass In the South. It will be very unfortunate for us to permit'prohibltion to become a State Issue in any Soul hern State. All that we want Is to have county option all over the South as they have in Georgia, and will have in Virginia. Then there will be no trouble, The people will in that way be enabled to regulate tbe matter as they may deem best, and politics need not enter into tlie consideration, If our Legislators are wise they will not make a political question of prohibition by refusing toilet the people determine the matter foi themselves, but will avoid this danger by referring the matter to the voters ic allcounties in which there is a strong demand for sucli reference. Unless this is done the matter h sure to give trouble politically,and those whe refuse to leave it to the people will be rcspou siblo for that trouble. Honest Uiflere'uce of Opinion. The Barnexville Gazette, of Georgia, has this to nay of the Augusta Chroniclc : "Guess Col. Avery will havo to step down and out as the Atlanta correspondent of the sivgusia unronicic, us ins mc is >u remjjui<mw do not col tcide with the liquor advocating policy of the Chronicle. The bijj daily papers of Georgia have but little use for correspond cuts who cannot manufacture news of jusl such character as they desire." The Chronicle promptly answers the Gazclti as follows: "The Iturncsville Gazette ks very much mis taken. Col. Avery will not have to stop dowi and out as the Atlanta correspondent of tlu Chronicle. Our correspondents do not have t< manufacture news for the Chronicle. All tin Chronicle requires is the truth. Our corres pondents are free to discuss moral, politica and all other questions of interest according U> their own con victions of right and wrong Tilt! Chronicle tias uuten srrounu in opposunu to prohibition. Col. Avery, over the signa turejof 'Richmond,' lias advocated prohihi tion strongly in tbe columns of the Chronicle Wo think our prohibition friends should al low us the privilege of an honest difference o opinion. In any event, they should give th< Chronicle credit for its fairness and honesty it presenting both sides ol every question." What Becomes of the Phosphate Koj' ally ? [Columbia Register.] In conversation with some members of the Legislature we were surprised to learn thai they were under the impression that the roy ally derived from tlie minintr of phosphate rock was used for tho support of the Agricul tural Department. This department super vises the phosphate territory and looks aftei the return of miners, but every dollar of the royalty is paid into llie State treasury and is used for tbe ordinary expenses of the State government. The Department of Agricul lore, as appears from the annual reports o] the Commissioner, has so managed tiiis interest that the royalty has been increased from about $70,000 per annum in INSO to 8170,000 in 18ST), and has to that extent diminished tin State taxes paid by tbe people. The department is supplier entirely by the privilige lax on cotsmerclal fertilizers paid by the manufacturers and dealers in these goods, and while it lias caused to t o paid into the State treasury over 5700,000 of p'hosphate royalty, il lias received no benefit from it whatever, mat % Ig?i The T rise Test. Associate Reformed Presbyterian. It is stated as a s'gnificant circumstance tli:il Willie uk* |)hmiii) miiiims in ^iiiuuia ?nt holding nightly prayer-meiHinprs for the sue rXl ~ Jtess of their cause, the anti prohibitionists Uc nothing of the sort. We are not surprised :tt j*. Can you imagine the prayer of such .an <uje ? Surely the old plea about 4 sumptuarj laws" and "personal liberty'' would never b( presented before God. Such prayer would be ?00 absurd even for a blatant ward politician, Inchy South Carolinian. [ Washington livening Star. | J.
