If, at vhla time of the year, a farmer living wear the Upper Kuhs were asked when he intended to go to Auguata he would mention eome Friday many daya off. If asked why be could not go sooner he would reply that It would take him <hat long to lay by his corn and get his ootton thinned to a stand. It waa • sutler of business and pride to bare tboae two crops safe when the Fourth of July came. We do not know ‘whether the farmers of today plan • bead like their fathers did. Stores were scarce then, miles away from the majority of homes. When the farmer went to town he carried a *")i#t of tbe articlea needed on the place, from pint to salt sack* and had a busy time in buying all that the good wife had written down.

This tuoye of the President may have been a studied play In the game of poHiica. or It may have been prompted hv a senve of duty, a love of coantry becoming one In blahVgh station. The underlying fact in all that he said is tbe airfflclenoy -of tbe present population of the United States in number to hold what la left in the way of material resources for their poa terlty. Wo quote such sections of fho President's pretcntatlnn as wo think needed, fs la no use for - us to argue wt»ln*t him in tie points of dlderewce.

It Is equally clear that these retourccs ars tbs ftnal ba sis of natural power and perpetuity Finally, It is ominously evldenr that these resources are In the course of rap- plil rshtutrion.

The reduction in the West wss heavy, and the aggregate production less by 62,090,000 bushels than in 1871. 18ht —What Is tbe official crop his tory of this season of comparative dis aster? A severband protracted drouth was nearly universal. WW’—Tho October returns tell a story of disaster for the heart of the great maize district, caused by failure of sea sonabie precipitation with high tem perature. _The Arst reports In July could scarcely have been more favor able. but the ligh prospects were soon destroyed by drouth. 1804—It I* rare that so Wide an ex panse of territory U affected hy exces sive drouth, such as prevailed in tbe year 1894 During the six months April to Hcptember, tbe rainfall was lea* than the average in all tbe prin cipal agricultural region*. IH&I—In aonie localities the corn crop as Injured beyond recovery by hot, dfy wiuds.” Nine white children and a colored nurse were bitten In Oreenville last week by a mad pet (7ollle puppy, Kx* amination of tho (hgc'a brain showed that it bad real hydrophobia.
