The Cheese Business. Editors Kcowee Courier : Iii your paper of the 16th instant, we notiee an artiole taken from tho Bickens Sentinel-Journal, in regard to the ohcese business in the South. The only defeot (if such it might be oalled) in tho artiole in, that tho Sentinel-Journal failed to say as muoh as could be said in favor of tho enterprise. If you will give us a few "sticks" of space in your paper wo will add some few facts to what has already been said. First, 1 desire tv say 1 am ac quainteTl with the business, duo to the fact that I am now engaged in tho manufacture of cheese in Oconee and am Btudying tho situation from every point of view. I can say that this very remunera tive business is ono for tho farmer for tho most part. Ho wants to im prove his land and not enrich the fertili/.or companies, and the only way, or at least the best, is to raise cows. But unless the cows are pro fi table in some other way the farmer is loser. Some one says, soil butter and buttermilk. Now, let's seo how that pays. Suppose farmer B has a good 3-gallon cow. If hor milk is good average wo might expect ono pound of butter, which farmer B can perhaps get 15 cents forby going to town and taking it in coffee or tobacco. The buttermilk he feeds to his pigs, for he can't sell it about here. In 800 days he rcali/.es $45 for his butter. So much for butter. Suppose ho had carried his milk to a cheese factory, whore they pay $1.25 per hundred pounds, he would have had $90 in cash, or enough to feed tho cow and buy him another one. Somo other facts wo want to see about : Suppose you have ten 3-gal lon cows to milk foraohecso factory. Look here : 1 cow for 1 year, $90 ; 10 cow's, $900 ; 10 calves, $20 ; ma nure, $120; 5 hogs raised on whey, $50 ; total, $1,160. Feed, $400; bal ance, $760. Figures won't lie has been often repeated, and is as true in the ebceso . business as anywhere. Can you, my farmer fiionds, make $760 moro easily than this ? Bul now about the manufacturo of cheese, lt requires only a few dollars to go to work. The neces sary expenso need not exceed $250, and then wo cnn have cheose all tho time-summer or winter. And the beauty is that we know that we are eating nure cheese. Who knows what thcY are eating when they eat Northern ?cbeeso ? If a man has money to hivest ho can do no bettor than obtain |t few shares in a cheese company. ) Now, Messrs. Editor?, we have been hast'/', in collecting these thoughtsijfc^ i ?by ou (I mean any of you) wilfyome dcW'n to Cross Roads wo will'givo you /some choeso good enoug? for anyboV), A.

Ghouls Claim Dead ns Kin. Chicago, Maroh 22.--A grewBome [)lot to get valuables found upon i'ustim? of the Iroquois fire waa ad mitted to the poHoo to-day by John Mahnken, who was arreutod several lays ago, and who was accused of teeking to get possession of the body yt Mrs. Amelia Mueller, of Milwau kee, and also that of Mrs. Frank P. Greenwald. On Mrs. Mueller's l>ody was $400. On Mrs. Green bald's fingers wero several valuable ! dngs. Mnlmken's story implicates a man who claimed to be a physician. Mahnken knew him as "Dr. George." The New York police are said to lave information that a man answer ing to the description of "Dr. George" bas been implicated in several life insurance swindles. Ho is also said bo have left Ohioago to escape de tectives from a southwestern State who want him for similar orimes. Mahnken employed an undertaker to bury Mrs. Greenwald, whom he had falsely identified as that of his aunt, Mrs. Elizabeth Kouth, of Montreal. His confession is in the hands of the police. _ "I visited Jordon's undertaking establishment," he said, "and oricd as real as any person would that had lost a dear relative. I identified the body and a sheet was placed over it. Later I was informed that the body had been positively indentified ns that of Mrs. Mueller, of Milwaukee. An other body was marked 34, and I identified that one, and it fas. laid aside. I went then to where the unclaimed valuables wore taken, and there I broke down again and wept. Then we buried tho body at Elm wood. It was later identified by Greenwald as that of his wife and was disinterred and reburied. 'Dr. George'-I never learned his last name-then advised mu to start a suit for damages, and that was what I was about to do when arrested." Dangers of Pneumonia.

To the Editor of the Newe and Courier : It has seemed to mo a singular fact'that tho namo and per? sonalityof Judge Alton B. Barker, of New York, should have mot with tho treatment which one sees on many hands. The most persistent and universal remark has been that he is ?" "unknown quantity." Now, it is true that Judge Parker has not been for many years a participant in mere partisan politics. I suppose bel has never in his life manipulated pri maries or paoked caucuses. He has bold judicial office since he was thirty year?, of agc, and he is now the Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals of the Stato of New York, an olHcc which in dignity, power and importance is second to but one other judicial office in our count ry. Ile has respected and honored his position by observing at all times a judicial demeanor and by carefully avoiding participation in the feudi, and sorambles of faotions and of poli tical warfare Does this make bim an unknown quantity? The truth is, he bas been known on all hands dur ing bis whole life as a strict aud un reserved Deraoorat. I don't believe there is a man in the State of Now York who is known everywhere as a more unequivocal, ingrained Demo crat, in his principles, his sympathies and his conduot. Has the word, Deraoorat, has the name, Dumocrat, no auch significance, no suoh fixed value, that a great public- character of thirty years' standing must come before tho people,, in the iuoipionoy of his oandidaoy for a political offioe, with a definition of these terms, and with fresh verbal vouchors of his poli tical Btanding and views? It seems to me that Judge Parker has followed, and is now following, the only course which self-respect, personal and offioial decorum and due regard for publio propriety permit. Ho is no more an unknown quantity than Grover Clovoland or Riohard Olney. He is no more oalled upon to issue a politioal prononoiamento than is any other great Domocrat who bas lived as such in the publio eye for more than a quarter of a coutury. It simply argue* one's own ignorance to speak of Judge Parker as unknown. Not only ia he the peer in intellect of ?my mun in his party ; ho has behind him a record of life-long, unflinching 'and devoted adherence to his party. In point, too, of personal charaoter, habit and asso ciations he will bear comparison with any living man. Ho has no occasion to attest by fresh words his party fealty. He has attested it by a life of unvarying, open and unquestioned loyalty to his party and his politioal faith. He has oarried the State of Now York, too, when every other candidate of Iiis party was over whelmingly defeated. * For ono, I trust Judge Parker will hold his present way until events shall make it proper for him to lay a: ide his judicial charaoter and ac cept political leadership. By suoh a course he will best commend himself to tho confidence of his party and of tho country. In my judgment ho is quite certainly to be before long ad judged tho ono available Democrat who can, with reasonable oertainty, carry tho State of New York in the next Presidential election ; and the man who will thus oarry New York will probably be our next President. Cleveland has withdrawn himself peremptorily and finally, and it seems tho striking fcliqity of the hour that our great pivotal State oan present another candidate second to no man iq our whole country in ability, in charaoter, in devotion to the princi ples of hi? party as- they will un doubtedly be expressed by tho com ing Democratic National Convention, and in general fitness for the high office of our Chief Executivo ; and quite unequalled in bis probable capacity to win success in thc State and States where tue real icsi a"d decisive conflict will Ho.
