OBSERVER'S OBSERVATIONS. He Talks Some FHrmiits: and Nome PoUlIos ? The Merchants Giving Loss Credit?Hard Times arc Here. The times are so hard and depressing that It Is even hard to gel up any news or to observe anything but the hard times. There has hecn and still is a great deal of f talk about culting down the cotton acreage. Every one will agree that it is requisite, necessary and essential; but here is the rub. Every one wants his neighbor to reduce his acreage, while tie phnts a full crop. The end , will be thiti every farmer will depend upon his neighbor tn do the cutting down and the ' < rop will be just as large as ever. There Is no trouble in the world for us to determine what our neighbor should do, and how they should act. That is easy Job. The trouble ' is in determining what we should do. If we could dictate to our neighbors and make them cut down their cotton acreage, we could plant a full crop and make money. We are very much given to dictating to our menus and neighbors and never fall to do 60 when opportunity presents itself. It is human nature, an Ingredient that our Ben Tillman Is lull of. He does not care what we want to do, nor what the General Assembly wanted to do. He wants to ho re-elected governor and resurdiess of every other consideration, he is dictating to the boys and telling them that they must put him back in office this year, since be is the only man that they love, at all. dearly. We are all selfish ; some of us not so much.i others ton great extent and by a great major-1 iiy, and if we would only stop a moment and I think a little, we would discover the lact that I we are controlled in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred by this same selfishness. It is selfishness that is going to cause the cotton crop ot this year, so far as acreage Is concerned, to be as large as it was last year. Selfishness is n great self-destroying monster. Beware of him. It8eeins to ine that during the past two years I have heard a great deal about future, unselfish governors of South Carolina being nominated by primary elections like the rest of us common oSIce-seekere. There was a man on the slump, (to be plain, our Ben,) who wanted a primary. He further claimed that "them aristocrats" were keeping the people from bavin er a Drimarv for eovernor. Oar Ben has either adopted tfie aristocratic programme or his selfishness teaches him that, the safest road back to the executive mansion is by means of a TUImanlte State Convention, composed of Tlllmanlte delegates. If I thought that our Governor who did so much blowing In tbe campaign of last year, and said so many things that be has forgotten, would listen to me, I would give him a little advice. I would say to him, "my dearBenuie, there area number of stumbling blocks in your road, that even a State Convention will not help you to remove. You have, during your administration. Increased our taxes ; you have deprived us of $160,000 In phosphate royalty; Clemson College which was to cost us nothing is getting to be a burden to us, you Bet your will above the law6 of the State, you have Injured the credit of the State, you call the people "them d?d fools," you spoke of the present legislature as being composed of "driftwood" members, yon called the Haskellltes "curs," and you have clamored for a primary election for State officers. Now you are about as talkative about the matter as the gay and festive oyster. You have said and done many other things that we, the people, being a selfish people, have not forgotten. We have a better memory than you have, and at tbe same time, oar galls are not so large as your own. Then again, dear Bennle, you must recollect that we do not Intend to stand all of this, and you bad as well prepare to retire to the dear plantation, down in Edgeflld County, at the precint of Roper's. In the quietude that surrounds you there, yon will have ample time to think over your blowings, to study selfish human nature, and repeut of tbe harm you have done South Carolina. You must recollect, dear Ben, that the people of Augusta, In the State of Georgia, are pining for you to come among them oftener. ; with your sweet and toothsome butter, bams, chickens. We will show how unselfish we are by giving you up, but at the same time we will shed many crockodile tears at your departure from the affairs of government, and wish you much happiness In your old surroundings. Consider tbis well, my dear Bennle, and I feel confident (?) that you will see the wisdom of it. One more hint. I would advise you to try nna induce J. J. Ingalls to take up bis abode with you, as you are of the same Btrlpe, with tbe exception that Ingalls has more bruins and more culture, and he differs with you In this; ingalls pours out his wrath on his enemies, while you pour out your wrath on friends and those who dare to oppose your aristocratic will. It Is a well known fact that every Saturday our street*- are crowded with negroes. Ills also wei' known that they crowd and block the pavements to such an extent that It Is almost Impossible to walk up anil down the pavements. It Is supposed that we have city lathers but why they allow the above state of affairs to exist, no one Is supposed to know. Those who have to walk the streets on business on Saturdays are complaining of this weekly blockade. Four-flfths of these negroes are not In town on any business, and even If they were it would be no excuse for them taking possession of the pavements. It Is no hardship on them to keep off of the pavements. J ustlce to those who have business to attend to, demands that the city fathers take immediate steps to remedy this evil. We should adopt the New York City plain of requiring the darkles to "move on." We have good policemen, and if they are given the authority to keep the pavements clear of all except those who have business, they will do their duty. The pavements are not lor the purpose of holding meetings on, but for the convenience of those who have business. Those who can only get supplles by giving liens ou their crops will not bo able to make arrangements for supplies aS early this year 38 IIJP}' UIU Ulbl. A IliCiliUn ui uuo v* hmv largest firms told me that on saleday in January, 185)1, his firm took a very large number of liens, but that on saleday in January, 1892, bis firm did not take a single rne. The merchants will not commence to make advances on liens to any great extent till sometime in February. Neither will they extend as much credit as they did last year. Those two things will cut down the amount of crcdlt business far below what it was last year. Our farmert will never be happy till they can buy for cash, or only a very small amount on credit. Last year at this time a great number of mules were being nold in our market. This year the only mules for sale, so far as I havfc seen, are those that have been taken back from those who purchased last year and the year before. This is a strong evidence of the hard times. Dlptberla. One of my children was down with diptberia. and was in a critical con dition. An old man who heard of the case asked if we had tried pineapple juice. We tried it, and the child got well. I have known it tried in hundreds of cases. I have told my friends about it whenever I heard of a case, and never knew it to fail. You get a ripe pineapple, squeeze out the juice, and let the patient swallow it. The juice is of so corrosive a nature that it will cut out diphtheritic mucous, and if you will take the fruit before it is ripe, and give the juice to a person whose throat Is well, it makes the mucous membrances of his throat sore. ?Interview in Chicago Tribune. Cow Suicide* from Grief. A Paris, Kentucky, dispatch of April 13th, says that Mr. C. A. Kenney, of near Kenney's Station, K. C. Railroad, this county, had a cow that lost her calf about six weeks ago, which so preyed upon her mind that she suicided yesterday from grief by drowning herself in a pond. She was observed by Mr. Kennedy to wade in the pond and hold her head under the water for a minute or two during which time she gave veut to a series of deep moans.

Too man/ homes have no common centre of interest. ^ The several members of the family ? ^ have as many outside interests as there are persons in it; and all too frequently the work or play, of the one member y is not treated by the other members of the family with the courtsey that should be extended, if only because ','M such an attitude would be polite. We know that outside intimacies develop, not because the meubers of the family prefer to form outside intimacies, but | because the human heart craves sympathy; and must have it, and it is not S*| always to be found within the shelter that we call home. Husbands and wives too often form themselves into a committee of ways and means; the financial management of the family is the subject they discuss constantly when togeter; it is allowed to absorb every interest, even in families where ;1 a settled income would seem to make a wise division an easy problem. Not only do tbe financial attain become the absorbing subject when husband and wife are together, but they form the all-absorbing problem when they are apart. The friends, the fads, the outside interests of the children become of secondary importance. At the table, in the frmily room, whereever the family meet, this ever-present subject may be discussed, yet no subject has greater need of a time and season, as well as a place, for discussion. Friction, annoyance, impatience, are the attendant ills, and these all sap family life. The effort to make the family life interesting is a common duty imposed on each member of the family. The pleasures, the friends, the interests of one should receive the polite attention of all. To treat the subject that interests another member of the family as if it were not worthy the consideration of intelligent people is, to say the least, not polite; to show a patronizing or a tolerant interest is ev- . en less polite. A etranger would receive more courteous treatment. And yet what is love worth if it is never to express itself? We should make a postive effort to know intelligently the subject that interests one to whom we i a i az . are IXJUIIU uy ui iuvc auu UI uiuuu. It is this social apathy and indifference that make* family lifemonotonous Weare surprised atourselves when we stop to measure the difference in our manner at home and in society ; yet where is our love? We know it is in the home circle, and we know that if we contributed a fraction of the mental activity, gave out a ray of the brilliancy, at home that please the people we meet in society, we should give a charm to the home life that it cannot possess without our contribution. We should not "love Caesar less, but Rome more." The plaudits ot the crowd are louder than the silent homage of Jove. This silence is a mistake, and a little clapping of hands at home might kindle that which moves the outside world. Is there a sadder thing in life than a family drifting apart? The same roof shelters them at night; they gather aI i 11 - ?> ! 1 ooui lue same tauie; iauiny occasions may find each member present, somewhat bored, somewhat anxious to hasten away to other interests, still all * , with love enough, added to a sense of duty, to compel their presence. There is love enough to develop an anxious feeling in case of sickness, and tears * at death; but oceans could not seperate families as completely as the lack of interest, the lack of loving study, so necessary to helpful, intelligent, loving inspiring family life.
