|t timorous fjejrartraettt. CAUSED BY STINGINESS. In the Billington neighborhood there is an old negro who is known as Dr. Pete Jack. To be known as a doctor, that is, merely to be known as such, is a condition harmless enough, but Peter Jack was not only known as a physician, but really attempted to practice medicine. Decently he was called in to attend old Bow-Legged Ben, the shuck collar maker. He remained but a short time, but when he left, BowLegged Ben was dead. Dr. Jack was arrested and arraigned before court. "How long have you been practicing medicine?" the judge asked. "Wall, sah, 'bout five year, I reckon." "About five years." "Dat's whut I said." "What authority have you?" "Whut 'thority has ole Nelson out yander got ter preach ?" "That has nothing do with the question. Any man may preach, for preaching does not endanger life." "But it 'dangers the soul, sah." "Wn rlnn't know anvthincr about that." "I does. Preach de wraung sorter doctrine, an' de Lawd'll git eben wid you ef it takes forty year." "That's all right, Dr. Jack, but fortunately this is not au occasion for the expression of opinion, but for the getting at the facts. You were called on to attend Bow-Legged Ben?" "Dat's whut I wuz, sah. "And when you left him he was dead." "Yas, sah, dat is, tolerable?I mean de gennerman wuz dead." "The evidence shows that you bled him." "Wall, sah, de ebidence is about right." "Do you know," the judge asked, "that you have committed murder?" "No, sah, I doan. I's bled many er pussun an' dar wa'n't nuthin' said erbout murder." "But none of the others happened to die?" "Ah, hah, an' dis one did." "Yes." "Wall, den, ef he jest happened ter die, it wa'n't no murder." "That's for this court to decide. Now, prisoner at the bar, you must show cause why you should not be held over to await the action of the grand jury." MI ken do dat, sah. I wuz rousted out'n my bed 'tuther night ter go ter see de generm&n in question. I went an' foun' him putty sick, sufferin' wid de dew pizen an' de largement o' de spavin." "Of the what ?" the judge asked. "O' de spavin, I said." "What's that?" "Neber mine whut it is. Ef you ain't read up on dis case w'y you ain't fitten' ter try it." "Proceed." "I'se dun stated de facts, sah." "And I'll have to hold you over." "Dat may be, but you wouldn' ef you had er knovred dat man ez well ez I does." "What difference would knowing him make ?" "Make er good deal o' er diffunce, 'caze you would know den whut er stingy an' er graspin' man he wuz." "I don't catch your meaning, fori don't see what his stinginess and his grasping disposition have to do with the case." "1 ken mighty soon 'lighten you on dat K'int. Wheneber dat man spent fl' cents e wanted er dime's wuth, an' when I cut dat hole in his joglin' vein he strained hisse'f to bleed mo' den his money's wuth an' it killed him. Hader acted like er liber'l man he woulder been all right now; hadenter strained hisse'f he wouldentr died. See de p'int now, sah ?" "Yes, I see that I'll have to hold you." "Den I reckon I hatter stay wid you. Hope de time win come one aeze aays w'en de jedges o' dis lan' will hab er little common sense er loDg wid dar ignunce. Dar's gwine be er riot roun' yere ef you doan watch out. Folks ain't gwiDe stan' dis sorter er hardship all de time. Da may bow dar heads ter-day an' da may bow dar heads ter-mor', but de fust thing you know da gwine fling off de yoke." Hung It Up.?An awkward young countryman from Vermont some years ago entered a Boston warehouse and asked for employment. He could do any kind of "chores," he said, aud boasted of his strength. "Stout as you are," said one of the clerks, "I'll give you ten dollars if you will carry that bag of salt twice across the store and never lay it down." The Verraonter stood for a moment, thoughtfully eyeing the bag, and then shouldered it easily enough, carried it twice backward and forward, walked up to a rope with a hook at its end, which hung through a scuttle, and hung the bag on the hook. "Mister, said he, "I guess I'll trouble you for that air ten. I didn't lay it down? I hungitup!" The clerk rather unwillingly joined in the laugh which followed and handed over the ten dollars. "That's better than chopping logs," the young man remarked, as he deposited the money in his wallet. Sensitive op His Honor.?Last evening two youths, each about 14, met in the street, when the following dialogue took pi ace; "I say, Bill, you got ray knife." "No, I ain't." "'Pon your.word?" "Pon me word." "'Pon your soul ?" "'Pon me soul." "Hope you may die if you have ?" "Hope I may die if I have." "You ain't got my knife ?" "I ain't got your knife." The querist seemed to be incredulous, but was on the point of giving it up in despair when a bright idea occurred to him, and he returned to the attack with : "'Pon your honor?" "Oh!" said the other, "now you touch me honor; take your darned old knife," and he handed the article over. "Well done, Bill," said his chum ; "I alius knowed you was a honorable chap." [New York News. Curing a Hiccough.?Mr. Smithkin had heard that a Sure cure for a hiccoucrh was a severe fright. One evening, smoking at his fireside after supper, he was taken with a hiccough, which continued in spite of all his efforts to check it. Presently he got up suddenly from his chair, and called out in alarm to Mrs. Smithkin: "I've lost my watch! I've lost my watch!" Mrs. Smithkin hastened into the room. "John Smithkin!" said she, "Whatdo you mean? "Why, you haint done any such thing. Here's your watch all right, in your vest pocket." "Don't you think I know that?" said Mr. Smithkin. "I was jest giving myself a severe fright, you know, to stop the hiccoughs !" Not Hard.?The conductor of a Chicago cable car approached a hard-visaged woman and asked for her fare. "Go on with you, now, I've paid you once." said the woman. "No, you haven't." "Yes, I have." "Give me a nickel, or I'll put you off." "Do if you dare." The conductor stopped the car and put her off. "Rather a hard thing to do," said one of the passengers, "but it served her right, I suppose." "Oh !" the conductor smilingly answered, "it wasn't hard forme to do, for it isn't often that I have a chance to get even with her. She s my wife." "You may not love me, Julia McBones," exclaimed the young man, "but do not, I beg of you, do not consign me to misery! Don't banish me from your society ! Let me be your slave!" he cried, wildly. "I will do anything in the world to serve you!" "Mr. Polhemus," said the young girl, her mild blue eye beaming with gentle pity, "I believe you. I shall be greatly obliged if you will carry a note from me to Mr. Megley Powellson when " Fairview Polhemus rose hastily from his knees and grabbed his hat. "Carry a note to that wall-eyed dude!" he yelled. "If I do, I'll be?I'll be? Good-evening, Miss McBones!" "Charlie," remarked Jones, "you were born to be a writer." "Ah!" replied Charlie, blushing slightly atthecompliment, "you have seen some of the things I have turned off?" "No," said Jones, "I wasn't referring to what you have written. I was simply thinking what a splendid ear you had for carrying a pen." That's Why.?First Tramp?Why is it that "the way of the transgressor is hard." Second Tramp?'Cause the cussed old path is so often traveled, I suppose. audi fireside. HOti CHOLERA. "Hog cholera," said Mr. James Barrett, of Richmond county, as he sat conversing with a party of friends in the department of agriculture at the State capitol, a few days ago, "is as easily managed as worms in children, and need be no more dangerous. Why, Inever lost a hog from cholera in ray life." In answer to the uplook of the entire party he continued, "My remedy or rather preventive, is simple, and should be used all the year round by stock raisers who would have healthy porkers. It is to keep my hogs well supplied with salt, mixed with hard wood ashes. However, corn cob ashes are better, and they are always come-atable on the plantation of the successful hog raiser. What we call cholera in hogs is nothing in the world but worms. Keep your hogs free from worms, and you will have no cholera. As I said before, salt and ashes will do this. The intestines of hogs become infested with worms at certain seasons of the year, which produce a morbid appetite. The hog endeavors to gratify it, and the more 1? cnrl ravonnilQ IIO t;?L3 llIU ILIUIG uumcivuo uuu . c* r the worms grow until the passages become clogged, producing nausea and loss of appetite. For want of nourishment the worm? die, congestion ensues, and your hog dies with cholera, so-called." "That sounds very plausible," said Mr. Justice, a Nebraska stockman, who happened to be of the party, and I believe there is much of truth in what you say. I was talking with a large dealer in hogs in the Northwest a few days ago, and he said that he frequently went into districts infected with cholera and bought whole stocks of hogs, which he would at once ship off, and that he seldom lost a hog. His theory was that in transportation they got a thorough shaking up, which produced a healthy re-action, to which the disease succumbed." "Don't you suppose that a change of range or removal from one part of the plantation to another would have the same beneficial effect ?" asked one of the party. "I don't know," said Mr. Justice, "he seemed to think that it was the re-action brought about by the shaking up they got in transportation." "I see a paragraph going the rounds of the newspapers, which claims that burnt corn is a sure cure for hog-cholera, and adds that it was discovered by the burning of a pile of corn belonging to a distillery in Tennessee. It was thrown to the hogs and eaten by them. Before that time a number had been dying each day with the cholera, but the disease immediately disappeared." "The action of the burnt corn was about the same as the salt and hard wood or corn cob ashes," said Mr. Barrett, "and, I doubt not, is very good."-[Southern Farm. NUTS WORTH CRACKING. If the cotton crop of 1889 is as large as that of 1888, 49,000,000 yards of bagging will be required to wrap the crop. If the cotton is wrapped in jute $4,900,000 will pass out of the planters' hands. If the cotton is wrapped in cotton bag ging $4,900,000 will remain inside the lines of the cotton States to be added to the circulating medium. The making of 49,000,000 yards of cotton bagging will consume 100,000 bales of cotton, which decreases the number of bales for market and enhances the value of the remainder one-fourth per pound, making Kq rra i n frv tKio nlantpr /Win 00ft. %vr V*?v The J. R. Adams factory can put a bale of cotton into its spinning room for $6.77 less than it can be laid down in Lowell, Mass. If the cotton was spun in the South $47,390,000 would be saved in freight charges, etc. A better day is coming, for in 1887 the product of the Southern cotton mills was $48,000,000 against $1,000,000 in 1880. It is a fact worthy of strong emphasis that cotton mills are increasing more rapidly in the South than anywhere else. Common sense will, at no distant day. compel the spinning of raw material where it can be done the cheapest. The way to have cheap goods is to make them at the least expense. The cotton of 1889, if sold as heretofore, will give the planters $300,000,000; if wholly manufactured in the South the great sum of $1,000,000,000. The difference in the price of the raw material and that of the manufactured article is $700,000,000 in favor of the South. No other country in the world could have existed f? long as the South has under such a system of drainage. Let the day be hastened when the farmers of these United States will receive just profits for their products.?[J. R. McLendon in Old Homestead. GOOD MANNERS. Be rude to none; rudeness harms not even the humblest and poorest to whom it is directed, but it injures the exhibitors. Never urge another to do anything against his desire, unless you see danger before him. Always give precedence to elders, visitors and superiors. Offer them the best seat at the table, the best place by the fire, and the first of everything. Go farther than mere form and see that they are comfortable and happy. Be not ostentatious in dress or deportment; nothing can be more vulgar. See that costumes fit the time and occasion. Never try to outshine but to please. Do not ask another to do what you would not be glad to do under similar circumstances. Do not make witticisms at the expense ^ mkt/tk ?tA*? nt/Mtl/1 n ntioU f/i Ul UUICiS WII1UI JUU WUUIU I1UV VYAOH tVJ have made upon yourselves.

Never needlessly wound the vanity ol another or dilate unnecessarily upon disagreeable subjects. Never intrude ill health, pains, losses or misfortunes. Never omit to perform a kind act when it can be done with any reasonable amount of exertion. Never unavoidably wound :ho feelings of a human being. Never forget that vulgarity has its origin in ignorance or selfishness. Remember that good manners are thoughts filled with kindness and refinement, and then translated into good behavior.?[Good Housekeeping. Wash Your Hands.?Cases of infection that could be accounted for in no other way have been explained by the fingers as a vehicle. In handling money, especially of paper, door-knobs, banisters, car-straps, and a hundred things that every one must frequently touch, there arc chances innumerable of picking up germs of typhoid, scarlatina, diphtheria, smallpox, etc. Yet some persons actually put such things in their mouths, if not toe large! Before eating, or touching thai which is to be eaten, the hands should be immediately scrupulously washed. We hear much about general cleanliness as "next to godliness." It may be added that here in particular, it is also aneaci oi health and safety. The Jews made no mistake in that "except they washed the> ate not." It is a sanitary ordinance a< well as an ordinance of decency. How to Lace Your Shoes.?The othei day the proprietor of a big down towr shoe store showed me something I car vouch for as a good thing. He taught me something I had no idea I was not fully U[ in, but I am now very thankful for the lesson. Not one person in a thousand laces his shoes correctly. About the nearest anybody gets to it is to lace as tightly as possible. The correct way is to put youi foot when you are about to lace your shoe as much as possible in the heel of the shoe You can do this best by lacing your shoes with the heel of your shoe resting in s chair in front of the one you are seated in Over the instep the lacing should be drawn as tightly as possible. This will hold youi foot back in the shoe, giving the toes freedom and preventing their being cramped Lace about the ankles to suit your comfort ?[New York Truth.

Statistics of the Colored Pofula tion.?Mr. Porter, superintendent of th< census, in a letter to the secretary of th interior, says that among the numerous re Quests for special investigation whicl come to his office is a somewhat formida bleone petitioning the superintendent o the census to make a report in relation t< the exact condition, financial and social of the colored population in this country The census act of March 1, 1889, pro vides for the first time for the subdlvisioi of the colored population into negroes mullattoes, quadroons and octaroons. Thi provision for ascertaining this informs tion will be made in the population sched ule. In some of the Southern States notably in Georgia, Mr. Porter says tha the report of the assessed value of prop erty during the last ten years has beei divided into that held by the colored an* white population. The returns of assesses valuation of property of this State indi cate that the percentage of increase c holdings of the colored race has bee considerably greater than the percentag of increase in the aggregate value of ih State, and it is, therefore natural, he adds that those interested in the progress c the colored citizens of the South shoul desire moro elaborate inquiry, whic would serve to show the progress of th two races in the United States. In view of this the superintendent ha requested several special agents of his o fice to make an estimate of the additions cost, or to ascertain the obstacles, if anj in the way of making the separate inquiry which would enable his office to separat the facts relating to the social and finar I cial condition of the colored and whit people. From reports made by the spet ial agents, Mr. Porter says he is enable to say that with the exception of the statif tics of wealth, debt and taxation, the cos of the several inquiries will not be grea ly enhanced by such a division. The cos however, of gathering on a special schet uleand compiling the whole informatio designed would be considerable, and whil the superintendent is willing to undertak this, if directed to do so by congress, h is of the opinion that it will require an ac ditional appropriation of about $450,00( In addition to the increased cost the si perintendent expresses the fear that special enumeration on a separate schet ule in the hands of the census enumeratoi will endanger, and possibly delay, th completion of the field work beyond th limits of one month prescribed by lav A large hurabtfr of requests similar to th' have been received from all parts of th countrvA / \y The Deed of a Maniac.?Rev.

THE CORBIN DISK HARROW. It is Simple in Construction and Does Its Work Thoroughly. It i* Heartily Endorsed by Every Farmer Who Haa l'?ed It* mHE COBIN DISK HARROW is the inyenJ. tion of a practical farmer, and is, as now offered to the farming world, the result 15 years experience in the manufacture of Agricultural Implements and combines selctions from over two hundred patent claims. It is superior to all other harrows in its lightness of draft, perfect flexibility, regulating lever for adjusting depth of cut, and case hardened anti-friction ball bearings, easily oiled and sand proof. The following are some of the advantages possessed by the Corbin Harrow overall others : First, Nona other has independent gangs, either of which emu fit any ridge or hollow without disturbing the other. Second, None other has chilled journal boxes; those of the Corbin Harrow are so hard that a tile will not scratch them. Third, Noneother has anti-friction balls in its journal boxes and as a consequence nono other has so light a draft. Fourth, Noneother can be set at so sharp an angle, owing to the severe friction on their journal boxes, and as a consequence nono other will pulverize like the Corbin. Fifth, None other has a successful SEEDER ATTACHMENT, making it really two machines in one, at less than the cost of one. Sixth, None other is so simple is in construction or so durable. Numerous other advantages possessed by the Corbin Disk Harrow could be meutioned, but is unnecessary. WHAT IT WILL DO. The Corbin Disk Harrow will level rough laud. Will soften a summer fallow. Will break up clods and lumps. Will pay its cost by increasing the yield. Will make the best possible seed bed for grain. Will work around stumps, in hollows, or on knolls. Will mix rough manure with the soil as no other harrow can. Will lift and turn the soil to be fertilized by the sun and atmosphere. Will cut weeds, corn stalks, cotton stalks, and roots and bury them at one operation. Will increase the crop at least twenty per cent, by reason of its thorough work. Will prepare grain stubble and corn stubble and cotton stubble lands for sowing without using a plow. There is no implement in the world adapted to more uses, and none has been more successful in every locality where introduced. The Corbin Disk Harrow is intended to successfully take the place of the Cultivator, Drag, Smoothing Harrow, Spring Tooth Harrow, Drill, and on some soils the Plow, for it will do all that any, and more than most, of these tools will do. Used as a Seeder it will cover every seed to a uniform depth. Will pay its cost in seeding grain alone, as it covers every seed. Will enable the farmer to seed four times as many acres in a day. It will sow all kinds of grain more evenly than can be done by baud. Two sizes of disks are used. The smallest size is 13 inches in diameter and the largest 16. The manufacturers make harrows with 12, IH, LiO ana Z4 aisKS eacn, duc experience naa demonstrated the fact that the 13-incb, 12-disk, or the 16-incb, 12-disk, six foot cut, is best adapted to geueral farm work. MEN WHO ENDORSE IT. The Disk Harrow is endorsed by the following gentlemen, each of whom is a practical farmer and knows the value of such an implement on the farm, and speak from experience: Rob't. E. Guthrie, Guthriesville, S. C. ; Dr. W. M. Walker, Capt. R. H. Glenn and W. H. Herndon, Yorkville; Win, S. Wilkerson, Hickory Grove, S. C.; Felix H. Dover, Grover, N. C.; Wm. O. Guy, Lowrysville, S. 0. ;and in fact by farmers of every State in the Union. By an especial arrangement with the manufacturers of the Corbin Disk Harrow, I am enabled to offer the farmers of York and surrounding counties this most valuable implement at unusually low prices. I have several of the l(5-inch, 12-Disk Harrows on hand and can till orders for this size without delay. i snail ue pieaseu 10 uirnisu any lurnmr initiation that may be desired in regard to the Harrow. I have" in my possession a number of testimonials as to the value of the Harrow, which were furnished by well known York county farmers, and will "be pleased to submit them to any who desire more light than is given in this advertisement.
