Ko?" a i . . M j? while ? have had ill Ni) minti a pim to pursue agriculture from country villages that is, for the several plantation- cornering together to i/ather their homes at these corners and from lhere work tin- farm.-'. This , i - ;i [?lan in which it would he hard to ; ;:>.; thc people tu work together on, ami it almost, if not entirely, makes me in favor of seeing some monopoly turning its attention to ti land trust. ; Of ? nurse we all oppose these trusts in whatever shape they may conn', but 1 can tell you that agriculture must ? bc preserved, ano if it takes trusts to do it. let it come. These trusts have i made a success out of everything t from oil to whiskey, from hair to horns, from ox carts to palace sleep ers, and unless some of tho blights to agriculture ate removed at once, we j had better pray that they come in and j make a success of fanning. I have I almost despaired of thc country peo- ' plc doing anything in the co-operative j way. and it will take this to make thc , pursuit of agriculture what it well de serves to bc. If you will go among country people an?l ask their reasons for wishing to get away from country life, one-half of them will tell you that it is because of schools, thc other half will tell you it is because of the loneliness and ?langer that lurks in thc homes of the countrymen. These country villages would solve both of these difficulties. It is foolish to boast of your public school system while children are afraid to pass along the hedges and highways to arrive at these schools. And it is foolish to talk about country life being what it should when women left at their homes are in an eternal strain of anxiety when left alone. This is not overdrawn. The homes of country people are in lonely places, and there is scarcely a mother but what feels uneasy when she and her ohildren are left alone at these homes, and if their daughters go to these isolated school houses, there is a dread while they are away. In this last great crime even the presence of the man was no protection-they slew him like a dog and then debauched his helpless family. A blight is upon us and it must be stopped. The people in thc rural districts have a right to remain there, and all the negro blood in America is not worth one day's anx iety of peaceful folks. While ultimately thc negroes' going will solve the matter, it is immediate relief that is needed. 'Immediate," that is the word, and plans to that end arc now in order. Just give a little of the attention you are lavish ing upon the "poor Cubans" and the heathen at Manila to the people at home here. You need not fret about these brutes being lynched; they will be burned and hanged and shot, but this docs not relievo the anxiety or take the blight from agriculture. Would a police system for rural dis tricts bring relief? If so, close the public schools and spend that money ? for policemen. In the old days of slavery wc had a system of "paterroll ing" thc country, and we had no such crimes as we are having now. A ne gro lived then in horror of tho ''pater rollcr," and he might bo made to have a horror for country police. It is all very well for men in high places to gush over the lynching of , these brutes, for these sort are never j exposed to these crimes. It is the peaceful and humble farmers who live < in dread of these brutes. | If thc money spent in the prosecu tion of negroes was put to other uses ( it would build good roads, good , bridges and equip the country in every j way needed in a short time. It is somewhat illustrated in the expense , of keeping smallpox front spreading. Thc negro seems to have a mania for I i spreading such a disease. With the dreaded blisters all over their faces, they will walk into crowds with per fect abandon, and they can no more be , kept from visiting each other where they know the disease will be caught than they can be kept from commit ting other crimes. This is a strain upon country finances that one would never dream of without investigation, and in itself adds to thc blight of agri culture. What a pity, that such a country as ' our Southland should have such a blight upon it. It has inflamed the people to the taking of law into their own hands. It has kept us with a <<G?i:.i ?a?..*i," ^t_ ,i_ _i_,j *'v'lv- v. v. ^ ?. n**W*V tfrMVklj on v U1U j have been healthy division.

S.\i:'.K I'll AK Kl'I. ? . i - Heaps of binn! in Hazing. I in vcr read accounts in tho news pupers of thc ? lank.- of college hoy- in ?hazing' ihe freshmen said a white haired, rosy-face old New Yorker in the j ailor of .1 big athletic club the other night to a Tritium reporter, "but my mind reverts al once ti. a hazing scrape 1 got myself into in my salad days. Like all sophomores I was particularly intolerant of fresh men' much more so, of course, than the seniors. Wc bad been strictly forbidden by thc faculty to do any hazing at all. under penalty of expul sion, and so we could not get together more than half a dozen adventurous souls wno wcie willing to take the risk in order to punish the freshmen properly for daring to live and pre suming to come to college at all. We had to do thc thing quietly, so after all thc lamps were- out. we would steal from our rooms, meet in the cor ridor, and then make a descent on some lonely freshmen and 'do him up' without unnecessary fuss. '"We had operated successfully on two or three men ^niy in a night, and were enjoying the sport thoroughly. The following night it became the turn of a long, rawboned man from Maine, who had little or nothing to say to any one, and whose only care seemed to bc to keep his hands and feet out of sight. Wc anticipated some rare sport with him, aud I re member now the haughty feeling with which I strode into his dark bed chamber, at thc head of our gang, after we had pried his door open with one good twist of a real burglar's 'jimmy.' "The other men had generally cow ered under their bed clothes or arisen tremblingly in their night-shirts, and asked piteously to be let alone. This Maine man jumped out of bed, how ever, as if glad to meet us. He said not a word, he made not a sound, as he moved about in the dark; but, oh my! how he did 'swat* us! I never before experienced such fiendish strength as that fellow seemed to have. We were not familiar with his room and it seemed to be full of furniture, against which wc stumbled, and over j and under which he knocked us in the darkness, with the precision and force of a triphammer. He seemed to have a cat's sight, and he knew the room thoroughly, and the way he 'lammed' us was so unexpected that we got con fused and loBt our reckoning in trying to get out of the infernal room again. "I don't believe one of us hit him once. I know that after 1 had eaught a terrific right hander on the tip of my nose, which sent me baokward over an awfully angular coal scuttle, I kept on my hands and knees, and wab bled about in a blind search for the doon with the blood pouring into my mouth and over my shirt-front. He hit us with his fist-like hams, he threw chairs at us, he kicked us when we went down, with his bare toes, which seemed as hard as iron; he mauled us, he pulled our hair out, he scratched us, he loosened our teeth, he broke our noses, he joggled our most internal organs, he utterly de moralized ?B, this whirlwind from Maine; and when at last we ali got out of this horrid den, more dead than alive, and had had time to collect our shattered senses and make a hasty estimate of our cuts and abrasions, I said : " 'The Maine fellow must have gono Dut. boys, and left a gorilla in his bed instead.' "Hut just then we heard that vici ous freshman, call out, with a mocking laugh : " 'Now go to bed, little men, and :omc ."gain some other night when you're rested. This hazin's heaps of fun.' "Hut wc decided that the sport was unmanly, anyway, and not the proper ?ort of thing for gentlemen to eugage in." Blood Cure Sent Fm.

The official statement, which was made public yesterday by the Commit tee on Information, with regard to the arrangements made by the Reunion authorities for the accommodation of visitors to Charleston during Reunion week, and the terms of such accommo dations, covers the whole ground and will settle finally every doubt and question ns to the reasonableness of such terms. Put in as few words as is ftracticable, the statement is as fol ows : Hotels: Roora, with single bed. one person only, $2 to $5. Room, with one double bed, two per sons only, $2 to $4 each person. Room, with two double beds, three or four in room? $2 to $4 each person. Koora, with three double beds, six in a roora, $1.50 to $3.50 each person. Room, with four double beds, or eight cots, eight persons in room, $1.50 to $3 each person. These rates are for lodging and hoard per day, and are the usual rates charged per day at the hotels. Payment in advance is required for all rooms ordered to be reserved. Hoarding and private houses: Lodging and turee meals, $1 to $2.50 a doy. Lodging, breakfast and supper, $1 to $1.50 a day. Lodging and breakfast only, 75 cents to $1 a day. Lodging only, in parties ot 4 to 50 in room or hall, 50 cents to $1. Tho committee announce that they are prepared to furnish "excellent ac commodations" on these terms to par ties numbering from two to fifty per dons. Special and ample arrangent en ts have been made, besides, for visitors who are only or mainly concerned about finding a place to sleep, as follows: Dormitories for men only have been arranged in many parts of the city, where comfortable sleeping accommo dations cnn be obtained at 50 cents per night. At some of them breakfast can be obtained nt from 25 . cents to 50 cents. Like provision bas been made by the ladies of Charleston for thc benefit of ladv visitors. Several dormitories have been titted up for the accommodation of Indies only. Tho charges will bo lodging 50 cents per night; at some of them breakfast will be served for 50 cents; and lunches cnn be obtained at nil times of the day. A committee of Indies will be in at tendance at each place, by day and night, to look after the comfort of their guests. The wants of those who may desire to spend only the days in the city have also been kept in view. Reputable restaurants will be open all over the city, and regular meals to the number of 15,000 daily have been provided for, nt the average price of 85 cents each. Lunch counters will be opened, with a capacity of 18,000 lunch es dnily. at the price of 10 to 20 cents each. The committee announce, tinnily, that they are "fully prepared to accom modate forty thousand visitors at the rate scheduled1' and that all persons who desire to visit the city "can be ac commodated, without finding any just cause for complaint ns to terms or the nature of their quarters, if they wiU communicate directly with tho com mittee." Applicants should state what accommodations they desire, the num ber of persons to be provided for, and the dates from mid to which the en gagement is desired. All applications should be addressed toRobertP. Evans, Chairman Commit te on Information, or should be made nt the headquarters of the committee on the arrival of the visitors in the city. This statement, ns we have said is official, comprehensive and conclusive. It should silence all criticism of Charleston's hospitality during the He union week, ns better and more liberal provisions for the entertainment of a g. cat multitude of visitors have never boon made, we believe, by any city in the country on any occasion.-AVir? and Courier.

('<?u MIMA, April 20.-The Supreme Cou ri hun rendered un important de cision in thc matter of damages in eas? of lynching. In January, IH07, Lawrence lirowii w aa arrested on thc charge ot burning a gin house. He was dismissed by th? magistrate:, and, on thc night of his re lease, he was lynched. Action win brought against thc county ol' Orange burg tor damages under the constitu tional provisions, ruder instruction? of Judge .lames F. Aldrich the jury rendered a verdict in favor of thc county chiefly on thc ground that Ilrown was not a prisoner nt thc timi of his being lynched, and that he wa* not taken from the hands of thc law ti be lynched. Thc lynching occurren on January :$. 1K!?7, near Stilton. Judge Aldrich, in his opinion beloit the Circuit Court, took th*- position that thc Constitution applied locase* where prisoners were taken from tli? custody of otlicers of the Court or law, ami thc ease was liol submit teil to tin jury on the evidence adduced. .Justice Cary renders the opinion ol liic Supreme Court, ail the Jutlgcs con curring. The body ol' the opinion i> mailc up ol' copies ol' thc constitutional provision, thc Acts and matter leading up to the expression ol' the Court, which is as follows : "Thc intention ol' tin- Constitution was to prevent the crime of lynching in t wo ways: first, by visiting upon thc olliceis of the law the pcnaltic* therein mentioned, when a prisoner, lawfully in their custody, was lynched by a mob, through their negligence ol cou o i vance, and second, to induce tin co-operation of the taxpayers in pre venting the lynching in order that their county might liol become liable to the penalty by way of exemplary damages of not less than $2,000 to tint legal representatives of thc person lynched. "The lynching of a prisoner, and ot one not in the custody of the law a.s such, is murder in both cases. 11 would, therefore, at least seem strange if the framers of the Constitution were care ful to provide in the organic law of the State a remedy for preventing the lynching of a prisoner and remained silent as to the remedy in nil other eases of lynching. The constitutional provision, however, is not confined to the lynching of prisoners. The words: .Without regard to the conduct of otli cers," when considered in connection with the evil which the Constitution intended to remedy, must be construed to mean without reference to what has been said in regard to the conduct of the officers, or in other words, without reference to other provisions of the section. They were inserted for the purpose of showing that the proviso was to be construed independently and without regard to what preceded it. The word 'provided' is omitted in the Act, and this fact shows that the Leg islature gave to the words 'without re gard to the conduct of the officers' the construction which this Court has placed upon them. "lt must be remembered that many of those who were members of the Constitutional Convention were like wise members of the General Assembly when said Act was passed. While, of course, a con struct i tm placed upon tho Constitution by the legislative branch of the Government would not be bind ing upon the Courts, still in this case it is well worthy of consideration. The Act intended to make the county lia ble for. dania gos in those cases only which fall within a provision of the Constitution, and it has correctly con strued the Constitution to make a county liable for damages when the person lynched was not in the custody of tho law as a prisoner. "This renders unnecessary the con sideration of the interesting question whether the Legislature did not have the power independently of the consti tutional provision to pass the Act here in totore mentioned. It has been held that statutes making a communitv lia ble for damages in cases of lynching, and giving a right of recovery to the legal representatives of the person lynched, are valid on the ground that the main purpose is to impose a penalty on the community, which is given to the legal representatives,. not because they have been damaged, but because the Legislature sees tit thus to dispose of the penalty. Such statutes are sal utary, as their effect is to render pro tection to human life and make com munities law-abiding. But, ns we have said, our conclusion renders unneces sary a consideration of this question. It is not necessary to consider the ex ceptions in detail, as our views dispose of the main question in the ease. It is the judgment of this Court that the judgment of the Circuit Court be re versed, and the case remanded for a new trial."-Special to Netcs ami Cou rier. Remedy for Cuts. One fall several of my horses, being full of life and energy, took a swift run dowL a wire fence, two abreast. One next to the wire fence, becoming crowded, plunged into the wire fence at full speed, laoerating her fore legs badly above the knee. The wound was about seven inches across and four inches deep. Neighbors pro nounced it incurable, or, if cured, that the animal would be stiff and useless. But I brought her out, so that the scar was scarcely visible, by applying the ashes of burned leather of any kind, wherever the wound was worst. The leather should first be soaked in coal oil, then placed in a kettle and ignited. The ashes are the cure. A brother cured a bad out on a horse with this remedy, and I know of many other cases where it succeeded to the entire satisfaction of the user. It is simple and has not a big name; but it does the work. That is all I care for. Supreme Court Decisions. Since Chas. O.

Coi.OHMA, April 20.-There has beeu comment recently on the continued "largeness" of the constabulary force. The general impression is that there has been absolute smoothness in the operations of tin* dispensary law, and that there was nothing for the con stabulary to do. The ?act of the mat ter is there are now sixty or sixty-one men on the constabulary force, all of them thawing pay. This is rather's record breaker, especially in the days of peace, for the dispensary. Tho force has never been BO large in previous ad ministrations. The Legislative ex amining committee, in looking over tlie hooks the other day and fixing np accounts, was struck with the heavy expense ot the constabulary mid the small returns that were being received. Saul one of (lie members of the com mittee: "The. liquor that the State seizes cost s j list about a dollar a drink." Notice was sent out by direction of (jovcrnor Kllerbo to begin the reduction ol' the constabulary force, lt seems aw if it is to be a slow decrease. Advices wert?sent to thtichiefs to-day that four men were to be dropped from the force, ami it is stated that vacancies will not ie tilled now, and that from month to mouth the force will ht; reduced, as there is no necessity for more men. The fact of tho matter is, but for the pressure of oftieo-seekers and the hesi tancy of dismissing men who have, done tin; best they perhaps knew how to do, there would be 1:0 need for over thirty men on the constabulary force, anti this would give some td' the counties more than tine man. Quite a number of the counties are now regarded as having public sentiment worked up sufficiently not to need more, than an occasional visit from the constables. The constabulary force has been costing the State about $50,000 a year, and the impression isthat the large torce luis done nothing towards help ing in the enforcement of the law or in reducing the shipments into the State to any considerable extent, and that a force half the size of that now on the pay-roll would easily do fully as much good.-Naen and Courier. - A smoking tree has been found in the village of Ono, Japan. It smokes only in the evening, just after sunset, and the smoke issues from the top of the trunk. The tree is sixty feet high._ A Disgusted Woman. It isn't any wonder that some women get disgusted th medicine and lose faith in the doctors. When a woman complains of feeling weak, nervous and despondent, and suffers from headaches, pains in the back and stitches in the sides and burning, dragging-down sensations, the average physician will attribute these feelings to heart, stomach or liver trouble. For years, possibly, she takes their pre scriptions for these ailments without re ceiving any benefit, then, in final disgust, she throws away drugs, and hopelessly lets matters take their course. A woman who suffers in this way is almost invariably a sufferer from weakness anl disease of the distinctly feminine organism. ' There is an unfailing and inexpensive cure for all troubles of this description. It is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
