Latimor, of South Carolina, addressed the Southeastern Iowa Good Roads Association this afternoon. He favored government aid in highway improvement. He said : "An effort is now being made by some of the most influential men in publio life to devise some finanoisl scheme by whioh the treasury surplus now taken from circulation under the Dingley tariff, may be put baok into circulation. Tho scheme is to. loan 1 this money to national banks without interest. I am opposed to this and feel that it would be far better for tho federal government to appropriate 1(100,000,000 of this surplus per annum for five years for the purposo of building good roads. ThiB $500, 000,000 supplemented by an addi tional $500,000,000 from the people, would, in my judgment, meet all demands necessary to improve the roads throughout the Union. There suit would be an increased value of land throughout tho United States, anywhere from 10 to 50 per cent on 600,000,000 acres of cultivatable land." -?- ..fc Spent More fSan $1,000. W. W.

C., who baa been one of the Peabody eduoation fond trustees for nearly twenty years, is at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. He was Mayor of Charleston from 1870 to 1887, and was occupying that office when the earthquake brought disaster to the oity. "Though I am a native of Charles ton, as was my father before me, and served in the Confederate array, I would have it understood that the people of no seotion of this country aro moro loyal to the Union than the people of our State. Though it oame pretty hard at the time, wo were emanoipated as much as the slaves who reoeived their freedom. The whole South ?B now alive to the advantages of eduoation, and no single agency has done more to awaken the interest than, the men who have been identified with the Peabody fund. One example will indioate the fruits of the setd Bowing that has been done in the disburse ments of tho fund. Only a few years ago $3,000 waa given as the founda tion for the Winthrop Normal Cob lege, at Hook Hill, S. C., and thc institution now has proporty valned at $260,000, has 500 students, and the last Legislature appropriated $57,000 toward tho maintenance ol the College. It is just suoh thingc that the trustees of the fund are con stantly doing, and there is certainly no ohannel through whiob philan thropie men oould accomplish more than by contributing to the Peabody fund. Every appeal for aid is thor oughly investigated by the genera agent, and there is no dissipation o! the money in salaries. Sorao concep tion of the task presented in th< Southern States will be apparent when it is ^remembered that whib Massachusetts has an average of 51 children to the square mile, we have in the South ll, and of these five an white and six are colored.

The Renaissance ol the Razor-Back.* Tho American Agriculturist says that for years Canadian packers have been urging the produotion of loan bogs weighing from 160 to 220 pounds when from six to nine months old, and that they have con ducted au active educational cam paign for several years "to encour age the production of tho correct type of hog." The Canadian farmers I are endeavoring to raise a bacon type J of hog. "The points looked for are long, deep Bides, small jowl, rather light shoulders, and as little flabby I flesh along the stomach as possible." "It costs more to produce a pound of fat after a hog weighs 200 pounds j than it does to produce a pound of I loan in hogs of lighter weight. Tho ; description of the Canadian bacon hog would answer very well for a description of the South Carolina razor-back, so much despised by the fashionable pork growers of the present day, and yet after all tho best hog in the world.

If the acquittal of Tillman for the murder of Gonzales shall result in a reformation of corrupt court prac tices and evil jury methods, the whole evil tragedy will have resulted in groat good for the State. But will there be suoh a reform ? Will tho people ever insist that lawyers strive only lor just icc and equity rather I than triumph and fees, and will jurors ever realizo that their highest I aim should bo true interpretation of tho law, regardless of fear, favor, meroy or the hope of reward ? Most lawyers solve tho question as to whether thoy aro justified in advoca ting a bad case in accordance with ?the size of tho fee, and jurors are too frequently iufluonoed by consider ations other than their oaths.
