The new c..rsttu'to-. a this s establis:-es quasid .-s s "r yoi . . which will cis'rst chi:e a lar;, cent of Vi' c ylPred votte ,f th i s':e.

The Atlanta Journal say s "these provisions are mcre exclusive than any which have ev:r been adopt ed in any state for the rEs~riction of the ballot. but as there is no disc'imi nation on account of race or previous condition of servitude, there is no con flict with any amendment to the Fed eral constitution Rhode Island for many years, and up to a recent date, required that voters should own at at least $175 worth of real estate in Rbode Isiand. There is a movement in L uisiana to establish an education al qualification for voters, and dssiss ippi already has one. Massachusetts has had an educational q-ialidcation for a long time, and Connecticut re cently adopted a constitutional am-r-d ment which re quires that voters must not only be able io read (as was berore provided), but they shall be able to read and write the English language. In nearly all of the states which re ceive large foreign i-umigration it is now required of applicants f-r natu ralization that they shall he able to read and write Eaglish. I- appears that South Carolina is doing just wk at ot.eer states are doing when it shapes her laws so as to give protection fron tbe ignorant vote." Th- Pniladt-lphia Beord sees no jastice in the crticisms of South Carolina's policy, whicn come from certain quarters. It say s: "The disfrar chis rneat of the larger half of the population in South Caro lina has been severd y criticised in many northern journals, which,. at the same time iesist upon makic;; quite as harsh and strtngent r e uli tions with respect to naturalz-c cmt zens and aliens applymg for naturali zation.

An exchange says the sslvation of the South, atd, it1 fact, of the eistire republic, depends upon the improve ment of country life. 1: we in Amer ics, with all our superb natural ad vaa tages, cannot make our counry peo pie prosperous~, happy and c ntenlica ao peopie ever wiil. Ominous itnen is the outloo~k for the 'utu-e if we fail to maintain a high standard o0' cirli nation in our rur el commui ti-s Th country people are the foundation o:f our prosperity and peace, and if we permit them to become poor and de graded there will be no hope. for the towns and cities, and the nauion will rot in corruption, as have alother! nations that neglecred or deba~sed t beir rural population. Every word o" the above is as true as gospel, and the sooner there is a c'aance for the betr in a financial sense among the iarom of this country the a-tier it will oc foi every calling and protess-on, as theyv are dependent on the rillers of the soib. It seems to us thiat some how or other things have been turaed unbid- dotvt. Instead of the farme~rs, who ma~ke all the wealth of the country, being in prosper ous condition, they are as a rule hard pressed from year to y eir to make er ds meet. With such a c n dition of things how can the country prosper? If every farmer in the Unit ed States was prosoerous every otrter businea3 and professional man would likewise be prosperous. This is to plain to need argtument. Y-t when it comes to legislation the wishes of a few hundre4 Wail street gaambiers have more weight at Washington than the milliocs of farmers l'he 1armer have the remedy in their own hands and they ought to apply it.

If a Llf a dc zen South Carolina far ners, tii d of raising 5 cent cotton, would turn themselves entirely to the production of chickens and eggs, de pcoting ali their energies and intelli tnce to the work, we believe that hey would earn good profits and set i valu &bie example to their fellow :IUz-.ns" Commentirg on the above the Au ura Chroniclce says. Thee e are just two things in the way -f success in chicken raising, for mar . 1, amo:g our people. First they ae is up as a fad, and buy some a ey breed of chickens at a fancy .'ice. They build all sorts of fancy .alculations on the profits from chick e and eggs, at fancy jrices, and . hen their hatch turns out badly, or .e littlechicks are eaten by cats and rats, or disease gets among their pro is'ng flocs, and death takes eff the rofi-s of a whole season's work they oecoe di couraged, cuss out and pit Or, on the other hand, they go into .he business on tco large a scale to begin with, without proper prepara tion, without experience, without any knowledge whatever of the habits, snatomy or diseases of chickens. They o into the business without any cor ect idea of the.expense attached to it, ,r without any intention of giving to be business the study, time and labor .hat would be required in any other 3dbd of endeavor. The result is finan :ial loss and disappointment, but in ( ueither of these cases is loss due to the 1 business itself. There are many men end women making their livelihood n the products of chicken raising. < fh, trouble arises from a want of < nuowledge of the business. I Rsising fancy birds for chicken 1 o vs is one line of the business, and a:slog chickens and eggs for market s quite another. The man who goes no the business should fully dster mrie which branch he intends to fol- 1 ow.

The Methodist conference of South Jarolina is committed to the cause of rohibition. The fight which will be gagea will be a warm one, for each ninister is specially charged to preach mn this subject as often as practicable luring the year. In addition to car -ying on this crusade from the pulpit, he conference authorized the appozst nent of a committee of five to memo 'alize the legislature when it meets in ranuary.

Poor Sarah :r: an HIer Quest In a poorri r,.in i :ith the impress ive ritual.:ie ci::: .f the Grand Army of the ;14u' ::: e, the body of the woman who ::3 kncwn for years as the Earl of S.::n:y 1;:11 was laid away a few days no in the old Methodist come tery near Honesdalo. The wcman's name was Sarah Ulrich before she married Horace J. Kelly, and her petition to con.ress for the place of poet laureate made her the subject of dis cussion in .January, 1SS6, and for a long time after that. She based her claims to the position of poet ' Ireate upon the facts that she was endoweu with the requisite poetic -knowledge and inspiration, and that she was the widow of a soldier who lost not only his life, but a fortune, in the de fense of his country. Besides her husband, she had lost her father, brothers, a brother in-law, cousins and uncles, and in her pe tition she said that she regretted that she had not been born a man, so that she might have taken active part in the cause of the Union. Her husband had been a member of the One Hundred and Seventy-seventh Penn sylvania volunteers, but his enlistment was not a voluntary act, as he had been drafted into the service shortly after hav ing married Miss Ulrich, who was a school teacher at that time. He died in 1876, after having been separated from his wife for several years. Then the widow began to flood the newspapers with her "poetio" writings and to haunt their offices, where she asked support and encouragement in her scheme which had the position of American laureate as its object. She was persistent and had an unbounded confi dence in her ability some day to reach the goal of her ambition, and only recently she promised rewards to people who befriended her and said that she would do this or that when President McKinley had appointed her to a cabinet place or when she became a member of congress. She was fond of telling to those who would listen to her that newspaper men always treated her well, and that only one editor had ever acted coldly toward her, and that he had been punished by being defeated through her influence on two c casions when he had been a candidate for congress. For a long time sh'e remained in Washington, where she wrote verses and endeavored to advance her claims for the laureateship. Then she returned to Penn sylvania, whea qe spent most of her tIme selling her photograbs and verses.Fo the last year sa: bud n ado a scanty living by traveling over the country on foot sell ing medicines which she compouncded. While on one of these tours recently she was allowed to ride on a farm wagon. The orses became frightened and ran away, throwing her to the ground and inflicting injuries from which she died. Mrs. Kelly was comely in appearance and always dressed neatiy. Her character was above reproach. IHer memory was re mrkably good and she had a good knowl edge of the Scriptures. She frequently spose at public meetings and was rational on all subjects except the two toward which she devoted the greatest efforts of er life--political oflice and literary recog nition-neither of which she ever had the slightest chance of gaining. Her original plea for appointment is em bodied in the followng verses, which were written some years bcere she succeeded in persuading a member of congress to pre sent her case to that body EUROPEAN AN~D AMERICAN 2OETS' COM A European Poet in s timte Dd suter inuc composing rhyme.
