A GROSS OUTRAGE.
if the facts in the matter of
^barring from the mails *?he
(Woman's Magazine and The
Woman's Farm Journal, both of
jSt Louis, Mo., and published by
fe jE. G. 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any way to have it rescinded by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

m? ^ i8lHDd' to be com
mended for their wisdom. 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

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

How to Bet Hens.
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.

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.

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?"

Kettle, oh, kettle, Just sing about tea.

Kettle, oh. kettle, now why do you blow
For this kind so stoutly ? and how do you

Each leaf like a jealously clutched little

That held a rich gift from the far Orient

I've seen 'em diffuse all their richness

Am my spout its libation upon them has

I've sniffed tho bouquet through my long, '
