Lewis President of the ^publishing company, are as ^tated by him iu The Woman's ^National Dally of University .City, Mo., "then Mr. Cortelyou in one of his last official acts as jPost Master General is guilty of a most stupendous crime against .fairness and justice, an act that tstrike8 at the very heart of the - .most important American insti tution, the press. We see no ^reason to doubt the statement of i Mr. Lewis iu the premises. JEvery word he writes on the sub ject breathes the very essense of 'truth. Discrediting the unani mous report of his own commis sion which he sent to St. Louis ascertain the facts , turning down bodily the recommendation' . of Third Ass't Post Master Gene ( ? jal Madden; this pitiful speci men of a Post Master General deliberately bars these publica tions from the mails, not on the original question remember, which was the alleged abuse of the mails by the sending out of two ?arge a volume of sample copies, rbut because of a mythical nominal price of subscription. It is a recognized fact that the price of subscription to the two publica tions thus foully dealt with are no more nominal than are those of dozens of other publications ;which, fortunately for them, did not incur the spite and ill- will of ^his small imitation of the real thing in the way of high Govern jment officials. This ruling by a prejudiced Post Master General should not allowed to stand if there is any way to have it rescinded by ^iis successor, and wo think 4>here is a way. Let every reader ot every paper in the country ?write to his or her Congress roan and Senators asking thorn (to exert their influence in the proper quarters to have this gigantic wrong redressed, and 'we think that for once official courtesy will be thrown to the jvinds, and these people be given the "square deal" that Corte lyou promised but 'didn't per form. The press as a unit should do ^ts part also as the matter vital ly affects all of us from the greatest daily to tho smallest 'weekly. Tillman us Lecturer. Senator Tillman is not going .to have much chance to get rusty this coming summer. Ho will spend his timo mainly on the cars and the Chautauqua plat 'form. In short, Senator Tillman has now booked engagements to speak every week day night and several Sunday nights from the )day when this session adjourns until congress meeis again Do cerobor 2, except three nights, and these will no doubt bo taken. For those speeches he has a con tract at $200 a night with a ly ceura company that assumes all Yisk as to connections, by rail, rent of hall und similar details. His first date is Baltimore on the night of March 4. March jind April will bo spent in Penn sylvania, Maryland, Virgiuia and Uorth Carolina. His tour will extend into the far wost in the "fall, and duripg tho summer he will be heard in New England and the middle west. July 4 he speaks at Ashland, Ky. lid is free to speak on any sub lect ho may choose, so long as nis effort is tho characteristic Tillman speech. The senator's honorarium in the grand total is Jfc43,000 for thd sumrnor's work ? more by some odds than he could inake tending his cotton in the Palmetto stato. ? Washington Herald.

If all fon^n?' 8mal1 meaB8 were to fo lowthe.r example, the com munity as a whole would be much better off. There was not one savings bank failure in the past year. There is not a single savings bank now whose report hi not creditable to its manage ment and whose solvency is not beyond question. In these days of get-rich-quick schemes, of mining stocks, of speculation in bucket shops, poolrooms, on the curb and in ili8^ exchange, it is most timely to turn to the savings banks and point out the superi ority to every man of small earn ings and limited means of de positing a definite surplus regu lar ly at interest. For a rich man to speculate is one thing. He can afford to lose some money. He has time lor the personal investigation of the risks and he has the power to enforce his legal rights He may win or he may lose, but in either case the transfer of wealth is not a vital matter. To all the men who work for wages or on salaries their only i;aioeful old age aod for life free from racking money foreSt.1S ^ 1>rovide before hand for the future. They should u. 1? rislc Wllen th?y specu late tliey stake their family's future and their own peace of mind against a few dollars. i^ven were the chances equal Thf "J i the case of u>mall man h?m ?h Ufe ?!wuya against vlTrTTr rf- riSk whlch he ^bes is vastly disproportionate to any possible gain. Few meu ever heard of pro gressive compound interest and r)ni ,ent,r 1Snow what it does. Oue dollar deposited in a sav ???s bank which pays 4 per ceut. will amount to $2.19 iu twenty years. This is simple compound interest. But how many men know that if they deposit $1 every year, the value but 130 37?ear8 WU1 nofc t**2 19 Any man or woman who is earning wages at all can save $1 a week. That money deposited a savings bank for twenty years will amount to $1,612. A deposit of $5 a week will amount to over $8,000. The annual in terest on this at 4 per cent would be $320. P Ut' Thus the man who deposits $5 a week in a savings bank can af ter twenty years draw out $6 a week and still leave his wife and children at his death all the thX? haS deP08^d aud more than half as much more. There is no paradox or catch in this. itisaphun, simple, mathsmati cil statement of what any sav-' itigs bank will do. Every wife should read these solf reS^nd 8? ?VOr them for her' ?self, fhey ttre accurate. The only necessity is to make the de posits regularly. If, instead of discontinuing the weekly de posits at twenty years, they are continued for teii years more every dollar a week will have become $58.88 and the $52 a year 11 have become over $3,000 For every dollar a week can hfir 0.ut.with<?t impair h f i PrinciPal, which has been doubled. It takes time to make money this way, but the result is certain. There is no ami1.61 lib?fUt itf no my8tery, no tion A?M fK? dttzz,in? specula on.

To sot a hen properly, use boxes ubout 15 6r 16 inches square, nailing a four inch strip across open side to retain the straw. Use clean straw, dusting through it some good brand of iusect powdor, which dusting in the nest proper, should be done again about ton days later, and again a day or so before the chicks are expocted. This is of course to prevent mitos and lice. Dust your hen too before setting her. When practicable, place your hens in a separate in closure. They are not only more easily cared for, but are saved the annoyance that the open set hen is nearly always subjected to. You -will also so cure more and stronger chicks. In fact, you will make a lot raoro out of your flock in a sea son than a rough shed about 5 X 12 feet, 0 feet high in front, sloping to 4 foot in the rear will cost. The shed should face the south with an inclosed run 6 or 8 X 12 feet, 6 feet high for the hens to exercise in. The shod should be boarded all around, and door cut in front which may bo opeu ed on fair days, allowing the j hens the benefit of the run. I FARMERS UNION NOTES. That Diversified Farming Talk. All tbis talk about diversified farming is now Retting rather stale talk to most close observers. We note tbat many otherwise clever farmers do a good deal of talk away from home along the line of diversified farming. But tbey do not write it out on their farms in a way that he that runs may read it out on the ground of these mens' farms as plainly as it can be read in their papers and talk. Tbis thiug of all talk and no work to back it up is too much like rot to go down a prac tical man's throat without strain ing a little. -I believe it was B. Harris that made the' suggestion at our hog and hominy meeting that it would pay the owner of the farm best to do the hog and homiuy and other diversified farming- stuuts and sell these farm supplies to his fool all-cot ton-growing renters who will persist in working themselves and families down to ragS and tags every year trying to get rich growing cotton while the other man out in the shade makes the price and takes the profits. Cotton Mill Mau Squeals. We have before our Farmers' Union Bureau a letter to our Bureau from a cotton mill man that would astonish many of our Farmers' Union men. Beyoud doubt many of onr Southern cot ton mills are in a much worse tied up condition than our cottou growers who speud a lot of their time cussing these same mill men that are in ten times worse fix and tied up subjects to their selling agents than cotton grow ers are borne down upon by New York Cotton Exchange men. Cotton growers can pull themselves out from under the harness of cotton bears by grow ing their own breadstuff s. But these Southern mill men who own the minority of their mill stocks are under the complete control of their selling agents in Pniladelphia, New York or other places, who not only dictate the prices that these mills shall pay for the raw cotton, but they also name the price for the mills pro ducts, the quautity antjl quality of goods made and even name the brands in many cases that go on the bales of goods and at the same time these selling agents are said to get a good rake off in the way of commissions both go ing and coming. Notes From Blanej', We will snatch a few moments of leisure to give your readers a few notes of interest from this section. Judgo W. T. Jeffers has donated a tiue site for the erection of a hall to be used by such secret orders as may be instituted here and also for general purposes, such as pub lic city or county meetings, re ligious revivals, &c. By the way, your correspondent had an interview with Judgo Jeffers on the subject of his reported intended retirement from office. He denied the report llatly, says that the people elected him to serve them, and that he intends to give them his best services as long as they continue to elect him to the office of Magistrate. Deacon Jas. M. Thornton is said to be having much success in his efforts to establish on a firm foundation his new religious sect. We understand that the name of the sect is Push-Baptist. The doctrine is said to be singu larly attractive. Mr. Ed. Flaherty, President of the Tie Buyers Union of Blaney, accompanied by the en tire membership of the Union, went to Columbia last week to re ceive their checks, and the new pass word- They had a banquet tendered them, the principal courses of which were peanuts, and bottled beer, with a few Xs thrown iu "kinder promiscus. " Mr. J. B. Cooper, our enter prising President of the Board of Trade and 1st V. P. of the T. B. Union, accompanied the party, and on his return brought with him five hundred new $1 bills which were free to all nit as long as they lasted. Ho has set up, and is operating his new goat weighing platform scales, so if you are a butter-in, call and be. weighed. Mr. C. A. Bowen is an expert in ties. Ho can tell you their value from ono cent up to three hundred dollars. On the occa sion of our last meeting with "Alonzo" we noted a large blood spot in tho corner of his eye that seemed to be giviug him some troublo. A very pleasant dance was given at the residence of Mr. C. B. Nettles on last Thursday night. It was largely attended and everyone had a good time. Wo hear that the favorite tune played was "Oh, dat Water Wagon, dat. Water Wagon." Of three cars of fertilizers now on our track, a full car is con signed to our friends, Messrs. C. A. Bowen and Jas. M. Thorn ton. It is a new brand, and the gentlemen named hope to effect a revolution in tho present me- j thod of growing cotton wiili it. | Two balos to tho acre is said to be merely an ordinary yield when this fertiliser is used. A chemi cal analysis shows ' fifteen per cent Wood-cock and Shuttle-ball available. Capt. J. C. Rollings, who has been quite sick, has recovered sufficiently to take a tiip to Camden last week. No more at present. % Starina. I r Lost and Found. Lost, between 9:30 p. m., yesterday and noon today, a bilious attack, with nausea and sick headache. Tins loss was occasioned by finding at F. Leslie Zeinp's drug store a box of Dr. King's New Lite Pills, the guaranteed cure for biliousness, tnaJaria and jaundice. 25c. / Made Iii America. An Englishman, lately arrived in New York, had aooommoda tions at a third rate hotel, says the Buffalo Times. The land lord and proprietor, a congenial person who often had to be waiter, drew the attention of the Englishman at tiinner to .some very large and choice potatoes, asking him if the^ wenonot-as tine as any he had ever seen. "Dear me no," said he, '*in England wo have potatoes as large as your American squash. At dessert, whon some extra fine pears were served, the same claim was made. The landlord said nothing, but was angry enough, and was planuing to get even. He hunted around town until he secured a few snapping turtles. During the absence of the Englishman, he entered his room and put the turtles between the sheets, arrangiug the bed as before. Soon the English man returned and went to his room. In about five minutes he came rushing down stairs, yell ing at the top of his voice: "Take 'em off ! Take 'em off ! What aro they?'* All iu oue breath. The turtles were clinging to him at intervals from head to foot. The landlord eyed him clamly for a few minutes and then said: "Have you never seen any be fore? Why, those aro Ameri can bedbugs. Cau you beat I hem in England?" Notice. The public is hereby warned against employing or harboring my son Arthur Knight, who is a minor and defying parental con trol. J. K. Knight.
