Why is a State oliic er of the Re form School li ce a mountain razor- back? Because he can fatten on tne range. Why are State offices far more profitable to the holders than they were under “the old ring,” while the salaries remain the same or are nomi nally reduced? Plain enough, the perquisites have vastly increased. Senator Tillman was in Columbia last week for a day or two. and it was remarked that he did not have one word to say about rottenness in Denmark nor anywhere else. But then lie was tired, “yer know,” from his trip to Cuba. What are the perquisites of office anyhow? They consist of what a man can get by virtue of his office over and above the salary fixed by law, and include such insignificant things as soap, kerosene, lard, hams, wood, coal, oats, hay. jersey cattle, farms, brick-’, tables, book cases, and, us they say in the advertise ments of sales, “many other things too tedious to mention.” weeds, were all subjects for close scrutiny and many compliments, the latter of which were no doubt very gratifying to her feminine tu«tcs and aspirations and amply compensated for the inconvenience and supposed shame of her position, it was even hinted that her beauty, rendered doubly effective by her little coquet tish arts, might have a mollifying influence on the minds of judge, law yers, and jury, and prediefions were made and bets offered on the chances of a mistrial or acquittal—all bused we suppose, on a belief that the fas cinations of beauty are superior in power to the instincts of justice. After all the State is not a nig gardly, parsimonious institution, and it cannot afford to descend to selfish littleness. Its officers are expected to live in a stylo becoming their posi tions and worthy cf the great com monwealth whose servants they are. In order that they may do this, it is expected that they should have some privileges and perquisites not speci fied in the law. We do not object to Col. Neal’s entertaining the board of directors when they come to the penetentiary on State business, neither do wo object to his family’s eating a few vegetables from the penetentiary gardens or using a little fresh milk drawn from the penetentiary cov. s. But if over there was a set of Governors and other State officers in South Carolina who could not afford from their own stand-point to appropriate to their own personal use the value of one nickel beyond their authorized sala ries, that set came in with Tillman and is now reigning with Eilerbe. They obtained place and power by defaming men whose hands were scrupulously clean and one would think that motives stronger than those of common decency and honor would have actuated them to avoid even the appearance of evil. Only a kleptomaniac would steal under such circumstances. It is now pretty well settled that wo shall have no peach crop. In the peach growing sections the crop is reported killed or badly damaged. In our own immediate section there is no prospect for peaches. We have noticed a few straggling blooms in the suburbs of Gaffney, but on the farms so far as we have observed, there is not a single bloom. It is very unusual for peaches to be killed, before even the bud had developed Such a thing does not occur oftener on an average than once in fifty years. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Does it pay to spend time, thought, work, and money on tender exotic plants and flowers? Of course to those who have cultivated a taste for rarities in vegetation there is a great deal of pleasure in a rare plant or flower, and the further such a plant or flower is removed from its habitat, the keener the pleasure which it will afford. But does that pleasure after all outweigh the constant care and attention required, and especially the disappointment occasioned by the early death of the favorite? Few of the most beautiful exotics can stand ^^Miunters in the open air, and in such a wiuVSi rs the past one they will perish in the green house unless supplied with artificial heat. We would not be understood as discour aging the cultivation of a taste for flowers. We only suggest that dis cretion be exorcised in the selection of those best adapted to our climate. There are many native flowers which are very beautiful, and with half the care bestowed on exotics, they could te made far more beautiful. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Some of the lower counties have promptly raised and forwarded all they were asked to raise for the en tertainment of veterans in Cht-rles- ton. We hope the people of Chero kee will respond promptly and cheer fully to the call made on them. The veterans will assemble in Charleston on May 10th in greater numbers than will ever bo brought together again on this earth and they will be the guests not of Charleston exclusively, but of the State of South Carolina, and every true Carolinian will honor himself by contributing to their com fort. They are men who once fol lowed the lead of South Carolina into the most terrible war of modern times, who vindicated her motives and upheld her honor from Sumter to Appomattox and who held the port of Charleston for four years against the whole naval power of the United States. Remember their heroic sac- rafices and their sublime devotion and superb valor, and grudge not the pittance asked to make them com fortable for only a few days. ♦ ♦ ♦* Pretty Mra.

A South Carolina Farmer Who Makes a I'rolit hy liaising Cattle ami llngti. [Keowee Courier.] That a man can raise hogs enough for home use, and thus dismiss com mission men and Western raisers as well, without Interferrring with other crops, is the experience of Mr. It. B. Collins, of Fort Madison, S. C. But a few weeks ago Mr. Collins killed a 420-pounder. “It was no great wonder,” he writes, “because I have neighbors who do even better.” Mr. Collins, upon being asked to give his experience for the benefit of his fellow farmers, modestly said : “I can raise hogs with more ease than I can tuik to the public. I am now giving cattle raising more atten tion than hogs. I sold ten head of steers of my own raising, which were shipped from my home in Fort Madi son in January last. The experiment proved a great success. “As to my hogs, however, I will say that I did kill a pig eleven and one-half months old that weighed 42fi pounds in January last. 1 lay no claim to being the best hug rai-er in my section, as several of my neigh bors have raised and killed ! trger hogs than 1 ever have, though the pig in question beats any yet, taking age into consideration. My experience in hog raising has been on the small scale. I have never tried to raise more bacon than would be necessary to supply every need on my farm. “I can do that cheaper than I can buy it. Of course that can he con sidered at a profit. “I have never triedany experiment in feeding my hogs. Corn first and last has been my main dependence for feed. I wean my pigs at one month old, give them milk and soft bread for a week or two, until they begin to eat corn, letting them have free access to the young weeds and grass. I attend to them regularly myself, or have some special one to give them all they will drink of slop twice every day. Attention is what makes good pigs. “Any family that will try can take four pigs one month old in March and make 1,200 pounds of pork by November or December. “As for breed*, I prefer a cross be- -tweon two thoroughbreds for fatten ing purposes. The pig in question was a cross from an Ohio Chester male and a Berkshire sow. I fed him on nothing but corn all summer, letting him run in a lot with plenty of grass in it, also a branch of run ning water, until in October I en closed him in a floored pen by him self. I fed him twice a day, as I did my other hogs. Most people feed fattening hogs three times a day. I learned many years ago that the mid day fed is lost. Hogs should get hungry to digest their food properly. I wifi say that roasting ears is the best feed for pigs 1 ever tried in my life to make them both grow and fat ten at the same time. February or March pigs make tho cheapest meat that we can raise, generally making 250 and IlOO-poutid hogs in the fall.” Tlte Sure La (.rlp|»«- Cure.

Editor :—Will you please give us who live away over here in this new township, space enough in your columns to say Home few things to the public, on some subjects now before us of general interest to all. In the first place the cord of our worthy tSuperintendant of Education in your issue 17th inst. culls for very careful consideration of every tax payer in the county, as well us trus tees, teachers and friends of educa tion. It will bo impossiblejin a short letter to summarise all the reasons why this card so materially concerns us all, therefore I shall only sketch at the more prominent ones now first. It is clear to my mind that our Superintendant most earnestly desires, that trustees and teachers so harmoniously and effectively work together as to secure the enrollment ami advancement in their several studies of every child of legal school uge in the district to which they belong. Now the best means to secure these aims are the ones he desires to see used. The first one of these duties unquestionably devolves upon the trustees, that is; to aid the patrons in securing a teacher who is not only competant to meet all the wants of such school, but also able to retain tho entire confidence and support of every patron living in the school district. This Is sometimes difficult to do, but any other way works an injury to the school in more ways than one. First putrons will not heartily work with the teacher in making or trying to make the school a success. Second some •will not send, and as a consequence the school interest, not only of that school but the entire school interest of the county, is more or less weaken in this way; there is levied a three mill tax on all properties in each county especially for public school purposes and its provisions expect *o reach every child of school age in the State and the money can only beset aside for this purpose, for those only whose names appear on the reports handed to the Superintendent by the various teachers. Therefore no trus tee ought to he satisfied with any teacher who cannot draw around, she or he, the entire strength of the the district in which his or her school is located. We can only command our share of the money appropriated for school purposes by reporting in school by the teachers every child contemplated in the school law. These are two ways in which some of those moneys to which we are en titled may escape us. First, the Leg islature enacted that every school district in the State should have at least three months schools taught in them every year. The salary of these teachers must come from the general educational fund, because this law provides for all children and any district failing to enroll all en titled to free school privilege—and all are entitled—falls just as far short of their share of school moneys as there are children not enrolled in such dis trict and the moneys you ought to control are covered back into the general educational found. This is just what the law referred to as passed by the late general assembly con templates. Second, trustees some times seem to thime tho cheaper they can employ teachers the longer the public term of school. This might obtain if the ^salary of teach ers were uniform everywhere, not otherwise, for moneys not concerned in the districts in a general sense are transferable by tho State Superin- tendent.to any part of the State for school purposes where the general levy docs not meet the wants of the public school in such fields, especially is this is true, if such fields are ::*t able otherwise to run three months terms of school. So trurtees in this way make mis takes almost as inexcusable as ihose made by the parlies who refuse to send on account of dislike to the teacher. Neither of these mistakes is excusable in this progressive day. Then let us every one to whom this card of Mr. McArthur is addressed do all in our power to make successful all plans contemplated in it. To do this not a teacher in the county us well as trustees and all friends of education can afford to let any moment pass unimproved in order to make themselves more efficient fac tors for their several duties in their respective fields. Tho teachers school of training ought by all means to be attended by every teacher. It most certainly pays well for all lime spent in attending it. It is a necessity if teachers desire to keep progress with the fast age in which they live and surely none will neg lect to avail themselves of all gratui- ous benefits that will come to all who attend it. j„. jj.

Hnve You Kv«*r G1v*-ii That h Fnnalnir TlioiiKht f—An ICriltor'ii Interesting Review of the Subject. The paper has done 60 things for you and is only anxious to do 50 more. It told your frieuds whou your par- euts wore married. It announced to the world when you were boru. It recorded the great events of your childhood, when you were lost as a wandering baby, when you had the measles uud scarlet fever, when you fell into tho washtub and nearly drowned, when you fell from the cherry tree and broke your collar bone, when you first started to school and when you earned your first prize. Later ou it told how you had com pleted the studios of the district school and how eloquently you recited your graduating oration. It told of your entering high school or academy. It told of your contests iu baseball and tennis. It told of your de parture for college or your first venture in business. It told of your various visits back to the old homo neighborhood, and it al ways wished you well iu your greatest undertakings. It hinted modestly about tho first time you went a courtiug and gave timely warning to “box folks” that tho neighbors knew that matters wore grow ing interesting over their way. It announced tho time of your expect ed wedding, and it published tho notice of tho marriage license and gave you a nice puff concerning the wedding cere mony. It told of your extended honeymoon tour and of your settling down to house keeping. When you were sick, the homo paper week by week informed your more dis tant neighbors of your lapses and im provements. It told obout your lost cow and led to her recovery. It told how your horse had been stolen and led to the arrest of the thief. When you were getting dull and tired through the monotony of your labor, the paper urged that the people get up a celebration, and you were named as one of a suitable committee ou arrange ments. And when it was all over, it gave you just praise for the suceesa of tho undertaking. In numerous ways the paper has helped to put your name before tho peo ple. And you would never have had your luomtivo office or your honorable recoguition from tho community but for tho kind aid of tho local printer. If you are a member of a Sunday school or society of auy sort, that same paper publishes your aunouncements aud the various proceedings of your meetings. It tells the people much which you would like to have known, but which modesty or necessity prevents you from telling. If you nud all yoor folks have been prosperous and fortunate in your affairs, tho paper has boosted you all the way. If you have had misfortune, the paper asked for sympathy in your behall. Thus the paper has rejoiced when you rejoiced and wept when you wept. If you are a good and enterprising citizen, the paper will always he your friend and will back you iu your euterprises and will help to find your business friends. It tells you where to buy and where to sell. It tells of rogues to bo avoided. It tells you of current prices aud pre vents you from being cheated and swin dled in 100 ways. Finally, when you die, the paper will publish your obituary and will cover over your faults aud will recite the story of your good deeds. All these things tho local editor will cause his paper to do, but no one else iu the world will do them or cau do them for you even for love or mouey. Tho outside paper is a stranger to your little world and is not at all interested in its improvement. Yet your local pa per does all this free of cost to you, if you are willing to receive it that way. However, for your sake, wo hope you are too generous to accept so many un requited favors and that you are willing to reciprocate tho same. Help tho editor. Bo bis friend, and he will prove his friendship to yon. Snbs^ ibe for his paper and pay for it regularly in advance and get your neighbors to do the same. 8end him the news or occasionally a watermelon or a peck of peaches. Invite him to your picnics and fam ily dinners, so that ho can eat a square meal occasionally. Don’t call the ticket you give him to the church concert a deadhead. He can’t buy tickets from everybody to everythiug, but he will say kind words of your performances and thus lead oth ers to buy your tickets. If you have anything to buy or sell, let tho paper assist you to find custom ers. Advertising that really pays the printer benefits both advertisers and readers. If yon have auy job printing to do, don’t take it to an outside office, but give your newspaper tho first chance. Give tho editor a pointer occasionally or write him sensible short articles and don’t get mad if he fails to see every- diing your way. When he does say a good thing, tell him so. In short, remember the golden rule and don’t forget the editor of your local paper.—Richmond (lud.) Enterprise. Think Over Year i-inn. The novelist can give the preacher some good points and especially in the matter of tho sermon plan. After Zola had collected some 1,700 pages of notes and arranged them in order, he writes about “Lourdes:” “My book is finish ed; I have only to write it.” George Eliot would make several drafts of her plot before she wrote a line. Of Mrs Henry Wood her biographer says: “The great amount of thought and de liberation bestowed npon her books was always at the commencement. 8he would first compose her plot—a matter of extreme care and deliberation, where nothing was passed over or hurried. This wonld take her about three weeks •f very close application, and until the whole was accomplished not one word of tho novel was written.” As a rule, the more time a preacher spends over tho plan of his sermon, the less t’me will he need to spend on its composi tion. —Homiletic Review. UuiilnctA KntrrprlNe In Fnrl*. Occasionally as 1 take myjjwalks abroad I am quite paralyzed at tho amount of enterprise shown by certain French business houses. One morning, contemplating taking a traiu at half past 11, it occurred to me to stop in somewhere before going to the station aud buy a book to read on tho journey. It was an idea that seemed to me at that time simple and practical. I bought the book—price 2 francs 75 centimes, or about 55 cents—at a largo bookstore on tho Avenne de 1’Opera (not Flarnmarion’s), and then discov ered I had nothing in my purse smaller than a 100 franc note with which to pay for it. Tho salesman looked at this seriously and tho cashier said they had no change. It was too early in the morning to have any change, he said. From the way he looked at me I could see he thought people had no business to be abroad at that hour buying books anyway. I ex pressed in polite terms my regret at giving trouble, and also inquired if they preferred I should give up my book or if it would be possible to change the note somewhere. The staff of the house was evidently represented by three persons—the cash ier, the salesman and a small boy—and the small boy was finally sent out with the bill. I waited 25 minutes, and then ventured to suggest tlxat I was leaving town and had no time to lose. “At this hour of the morning, madame”—said the salesman, as though that was the end of it. I lost my train.—Katharine de Forest in Harper’s Bazar. Brulna. Talking of brains reminds me that a young medical friend tho other day showed me an abnormally large speci men of the human thinking apparatus, carefully preserved, and which he pur posed to send to Cornell university. He was not quite snro, however, whether he conld not put the brains to some better purpose or present them to somebody more in need of brains. To print tho list of prominent men which he rattled off at random between whom he might divide them equally and thus double their share of wisdom would be libelous. “It is a pity to let brains go a-beg ging,” said my friend, “but unfortu nately that is often the way of tl j world.” When I suggested that lj might put them up at auction and 8 se how much they would fetch, ho replie l: “Very little, I’m afraid. Every cio professes to admire brains, but loves lis money better—besides, brains can be bought so cheap nowadays—but i I conld get hold of a good big lumj of gall—that is what always fetches ihe money in this world.” When my friend asked me if I could make any nse of them, I told him I would try. I did not take them from him. I merely did as I am told is occa sionally done by tho best regulated newspaper writers. I got a little story out of another fellow’s brains.—New York Telegram.
