Atlanta Constitution. Mr. Lincoln said, '-You may fool some of the people all the time?you may fool all the people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time." That's so, I reckon, but I will add that a man can't fool his wife at ail. She catches up with him by instinct. My wife has been away to Koine and so I took advantage of her absence and had two trees cut down. One was dying at the top and the other was crowding two other trees and doing no good. But she is utterly hos-tile to cutting down a tree and so I have ? to do it while she is away. One of them was cut down low to the ground and after every chip and twig was cleaied up I had grass put over the place where the tree was. I was going to do the other the same way but I got sick and she came home prematurely ana mere was me stump grinning with its fresh cut edges. I was getting better, but when I saw her coming I took a horizontal attitude on the couch and tried to look sick and sad and melancholy. It was too days before she noticed that stump and when she called my attention to it I told her that it was an old stump and had been there for years. She never said anything, but there was a doubtful expression on her tranquil countenance. If there were no grandchildren around here I could get along, but they let the cat out of the bag every tirm and I am the victim. 'I don't remember ever seeing that stump before," said she, but I persuaded her that the late rains had colored it. When she found me out, I assured her that the tree was hallow and was bound to die soon and that its proximity to the other trees prevented their ex^ pansion and that expansion was now the policy of the country. "Yes," said she, "I suppose we must cut down the smaller trees so that the larger ones can have more room. We must kill tfT ihe Filipinos for the same reason. I wonder how many of the poor creatures they have killed. If our people kill a black I brute down here, they make an awful fuss about it, but they are killing ^thousands because they are defending their native land. It is all very t straDge to me." I don't like some of our governor s e utterances. The daily paper jB^fcp.ints in big lines that he said the H^^^nnan or men who lynched a negro ^^^^Krere as guilty in the sight of God as negro they lynched. Surely he didn't say that. The reporter must have mis<1 mted him again. It does ^ not sound like him. There is no . such theology in the books. If Gjd | had not have put a mark upon Ctiu f anybody might have slain him [ Moses had to provide cities of refuge f for those w ho accidentally killed any body, lest the avengers of bloc t! ^ should pursue and overtake and skn ^ them. The avenge r-of blood wer< p recognized factors in the administra ^ tion of the law. What would havi been the punishment of those bluel brutes in Moses s time for their out ^ rages we cannot imagine, for wi 1 the Jews no such crimes were know: and to this day no such erima i known among them. As a race the; I are the purest people iu then dome L I _ i tic rtlaiions. Husbands aro loyal ; and true and kind to tbeir wives to their bu.-b.ind>; children are obedient to tbeir parents and affectionate to j one another. But here among us j are a numerous people who seem ! utteily devoid of those family virtues that are the safeguards of all good government. Within the last thirty years they have grown from childhood to manhood and have become infinitely worse than their fathers and mothers were while in slavery. There are more bastard negroes in and around this city than those born in wedlock. They are not mulattoes, but they are negroes of full blood. ***' * * r 11. . ;, j Xlie moral degeneracy 01 me race i? alarming. The State convicts and County convicts now aggregate over four thousand, and all of them have come to maturity since the close of the civil war. The morals of these negroes gets worse and worse and their outrages upon white women more frequent and more brutal. Our people are shocked and whisper to j oue another, who will be the next I victim. When the savage Indians l i burned the homes and tomahawked J the women and children our forej fathers pursued them by day and by j night and had their revenge. We I have a people among us many of I whom are worse than savages, and | eveiy man among us who is loyal to | his wife or mother or sister or daugh! ter is an avenger of blood and should | never stop until the brute is caught I and slain. For such there are no j cities of refuge and no horns of the j altar for him to lay hold of. This is I one crime that makes a man an outlaw and the people have no moie I feai of provoking the vengeance of j God than did Governor Candler | when he was leading bis brave men ! against the enemy and crying at the j top of his voice, "Shoot 'em, boys ! I oo, boys; Come on and follow me !" I He never thought of giving them a ; trial by jury nor of being guilty of I "Mii-zlni- T.tf ?i m in j Lli U1 UC1 UV I I Vi UVI C WlMtUU u I their perfunctory fashion?let preach! ers and judges speak excathedia | from the pulpit and the bench, our i people will lynch a brute as soon as | they can catch him, and it is no sign j of lawlessness either.

If you wish to hear the | truth, just sound the common people : ?the country people, the working I people, who live in the peril of these i outrages?the people who are too poor to move to towns or cities?the ! people who are ol an people ine j most obedient to law?the people j who serve on our juries and work ; the roads, and nurse their sickneighj bors and bury their dead, and who ! gather at the humble church on the ; Sabbath day and worship God. These are the lynchers for this particular crime and always will be. If a thoughtless, reckless element j j jins them it cannot be helped. The people of our county of Bartow, I : i iaiu nr !

Sometimes at ! long iutervitls there is a small light j o o | between lawyers in the courthouse. i while court is in session, and the | judge on hand to stop it, but 110th- i ing more. But nine out of ten of j our grand and petit juries would j lynch a negro for this crime as soon j i as they could catch him. Kx-Gov- ! j ernor Joues, of Arkansas, has got j | sense?common sense?and he says: j ! "All this stuff about the law's delay j | provoking lynchings is the merest j I nonsense. When this crime is com- i ! mitted no man stops to think or to j I care whether the brute will be tried I next week or next year. They want j vcngence right now and they aie j going to have it, and that is human , nature in all civilized countries and j is to be commended rather than con- j : damned. Ami so let Governor Candler reconsider and take back, if be said it.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: The time for fodder pulling will soon be on hand and a bit of cxpciience from your fillow farmer may be helpful to some one. The practice of pulling fodder I have for the past sc-veral }eais seen very alearly did not pay me, and I am fully con\iuced that our farmers will soon see that there is actual loss to any one that continues the practice. In the first place it is a very costly way of procuring forage for horses. Iu the second place, it is very damaging to the ear of corn and iu the third place it is getting a very inferior forage out of what would if differently treated make a first class feed. AVe have farmers who think it a sin to do different from our venerable progenitors, aod in whose eyes it is criminal to change the condition of the fathers. These men's pr< judicts are too steep a grade for the engines of progresss and around whose minds there is an armor of steel too thick to be penetrated by the balls of this revolutionary movement. To such of course ideas appeal in vain and the reasons for a change can never break through the s'uill in which they live contented with the petrified orthodoxy of the past. I am glad to believe and do rejoice that I have genuine, well grounded reasons for the belief that the great majority of Lexington's farmers do not breathe this stagnated air, and do not live in a region whose nativity generates and fosters such idle dreams and where the citizens will enternaiJy hug such a deluding phantom to their besoms. "With the most of us the curtains of the past have dreams and with the associations of former days there will linger a recollection of respect and the responsibilities of the future should reconcile with our duty , to ourselves and families and to our i country. Let us lay aside all weights which may beset us in our journey [ and press forward to the mark t f a greater remuneration for our labor | and a higher and nobler success in our undertakiug. Corn fodder, when properly cured, is a good feed for stock but sun dried for several hours and exposed to both dew and rain renders it only a second rate forage. I find that about one hundred pounds of fodder for each ten bushels of corn is a very fair average yield in an average year. That will usually cost one da\'.> work and the rLk of losing from rain 1 1 1. . 1 ? . , 1 , r 10 fellll eLiiULlCfc* IUU UULIgei iii-vi <. ai pen sc. i If you will strip several rows alternately leaving each alternate row unshipped, then weigh carefully the corn and fodder from the rows shipI ed and also from the rows not molested you will tiud that the corn <11 the rows not stripped will weigh as much as the corn and fodder on the shipped rows That will tell to any reasoner that it i-= a costly forage th it robs the corn pile of as much in pounds as the fodder weighs. I: is giving up a pound of coin lor a 1 pound of fodder, besides throwing away the woik of one hand for a day to accomplish this destructive end lie will see that the grain uf c<,m > 1, one stalk is full and the o.n; grain on the other has perisht 1 away somewhat, or as we farmers say gen eially "it has swivelled somewhat.

Tbe higher tl stalks the larger the stacks cm 1 made, leaving them always sharp i | the top. Stuck as fast as you cut c within a shoit time afterwards befot any chance of wilting.

Cloudy an rainy weather need cause you nofet i nor alarm, for the water will dii | down and go into the ground au not injure in any way your fecdin , value. A laiu immediately afl( stacking will have a like result wit! out any danger to your interest i any way. What dampness remair j in the stack will be driven out by th heat as soon as the wilting and cur ing process sets in, and that will m start till the water has most droppc off to the ground. If a few hour 1 come t-n the stack of good warm sur shine the wilting sets in and you ca see a decided lessening of the size ( stack. Tie a rope around one a tight as you and another person can i in the morning and by night you ca take up a couple of feet of slac rope. That process condenses an solidifies the stack and renders i entirely impressible for the hardes showers to enter more than two c three inches deep, and that will evaj i orate as soon as the "sun comes out, j and each successive showc-r will fin your forage heep still better fortifie ; against its entrance and in a ver few days will Lid defiance to its fur; At first you and your hands wi be grtui and will make some ba I stacks, but I find that the most ord nary field hand will soon catch th idea and move on successfully. A ; first it will be well to use a gree ! corn or roll up a rope of grass an j tuft and tie around the top of th ! stack two or three feet from the to] ! That will help il to stand alone fc I awhile till the solidifying can make i compact so as to stand the assaul 1 of lain and wind. But never put c ; the ground or in little stacks till tl | blades half cure and then place in 1 larger stack. It will never be con i n I pact, will never solidify but will coi tinue to be poms and will admit tl i rain and dew to its ruin and wi : be surely a dead loss if any rait ! fall on it before housing. I A still better way if you ba^ j bouse room is to cut and baulstraigl j to tbe shelter and stack upright, ta j scls upwards. Just keep it erect ar j yen cau stait at back side of tbe lo I and "fill plum to tbe door" witboi . any ri.-k of its injury. It will evap rate upward and will continue to i I so till dry. Then you can throw i high and pack as you choose witboi harm and refill this space with mo: green coin. Never throw dov lengthwise while in green state on ai size pile. That is simply to give . over to mould, blight and ruin: tb is but to give up your mastery ar surrender your possession.

In >t . ' j this way a large portion of mine j stood in the field this year till iu i February and March. Care and vigHence should be kept and as soon as 1 ^ a stack begins to show signs of falling it should be hauled iu. It is ! is n better if any one has house room to 1 haul in as soon as convenient after 1 u being dried, but that is a (juestioD ] j for each fanner's capacity. The corn ' can be broken c IV in the field, placed i .j. in the bin and thus stalks and forage can be secured from loss by a rude ' shelter uf lough boards if the farmer 1 hus no shelter in reach of him. j The feeding power of this forage ' ^ is much better and the capacity is j * y about doubled or thribbled by the ^ addition of the tassel and small end 11 from the ear up, and any one will be 1 (] surprised tu see how much ef the j. stalk the stuck will eat, and wbat is ] e nut eaten becomes trampelUd up into j f a fast class fertilizer for another i u crop, besides assisting in making a j j comfortable bed fur the hoise in the j e stable. By using a shredder and ;) teiring the stalks and blades into ir tine pieces, the entire lot becomes firm forage and it well pays any one ?g who can pay twenty-five to forty dollars to buy one for such a use. The blades of fodder fill the place 1G . in the corn crop that the luDgs fill in t :e human system. When you tear i out a man's lungs, breathing ceases | and death takes hold. Tear away i le i the blades of fodder and the nu- I '11 trition, that is in the stalk can have I is no further circulation and the corn ! "rains perish to that extent but cut I ;e ? 1 j ^ it all down and the good work gees j on for several hours and nature cong j tinues to carry on the separation of ^ mateiials by the pores in the blades j of fodder and the restoration of what ! q is needed when the useless and pois- I j enous gasses are set at liberty and j released so that thev can escape ip ' 1 ^ through the tops of these stacks. Nature in her wisdom Las placed rc i this work on the blades of corn and . *n ! to remove them when so much needed i iv I ^ by the ear is a violation of natures j laws and must meet with a refusal \ at , ; j on her part to fulhll her obligations; I to "feed me till I want no more. , )U 1 Nature knows best when the ear has ' to I no longer a need for its feeders and 1 or n ! when this time arrives the little Q- 1 ^ blades beginning at the ground com- j mence to give up their life, to fade j and to die. till ail hav* surrendered re j, their living green and in death part with all.

We're Agin It. Tbe Stat<: Tho Batesbur<j people, it is reported, are almost uuan imously in favor of tbe proposition to consolidate Lexington and Richland counties, believing tbat after this shall be done it will be easier to form a new couuty witu r.atesourg as tne county seat. They are shrewd folks and argue logically, and if they want to support the Congaree county scheme with that ulterior object let them go ahead. We doubt whether there would be objection on this side to their plan if western Lexington should prefer it, as there is uo hunger here for mere bigness of ten itory. Batesburg is in truth well situated to be the seat of a new county, em bracing western Lexington, northern Aiken and bits of southern Edgefield and Saluda. If the Lexingtouians Dver that way shall work on the lines proposed Congaree county will have its only serious obstacle removed. We ask the State to reconsider its Greater Richland or as it calls it "Congaree County" scheme. We're agin it. We joiu bauds with the Lex ingtou Dispatch to fight it to the last ditch. The Ivlgefield ami Saluda papers will be ou baud in the fight and the Johuston Monitor will make a noble defence for its section. Batesburg may be ever so ambilious to become a county scat but Aiken has no teriitory to spare. Let the State let well enough alone, and keep to its own side of the river. Instead of making two blades of grass growwhere one grew before it is trying to reverse the order of things and wants one big blade in place of two lloiiiish ing ones now growing.

About one month ago my child, which is fifteen months old, had an attack of diarrhoea accompanied by vomiting. I gave it such remedies as are usually given in such cases, but as nothing gave relief, we sent for a physician and it was under his care for a week. At this time the child had been sick for about ten days and was having about twentyfive operations of the bowels every twelve hours, and we were convinced that unless it soon obtained relief it would not live. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Itemed)' was recommended, and I decided to tiy it.
