WHAT NEWSPAPERS HAVE DONE.
??flu? Have I'Yil Curiosltj anil (mats"
\ ml Other Things.
Newspapers have made presidents
nild bustles, happiness and suicide,
mm rlago and alimony. They have
bolstered empires and. rag carpets.
Tiny have fed curiosity and goats.
They have wrapped the good and the
had. the workman's lunch and the
drt nkard's beer. They have used
men for footballs and by men have
been used fpr the same purpose.
They have polished readers and win
dows. They have cleaned chimneys,
started fires and stuffed sofa pillows.
Tili y have "cut Ice" and been cut into
pantry shelf covers. They have
caused pain and calked panes. They
have built empire and skinned em
pires." They have made friends and
ridiculous enemies. They have sunk
fortunes and made men famous, mar
ried widows and curtailed windows.
They have been born of a shirt-tall
full of type and a hay press, lived
and flourished on hot air and thank
yous. Sometimes I wonder at their
constitutions.
They have starved and thrived,
fasted and smiled parched and bloom
ed, dried up and borne fruit- but
tili? paper hasn't the receipt and if
some of the back subscribers don't
pay pretty soon, the editor is going
1o rise up on his hind legs and roar!
We need kind words and money, a
pair of overalls and a new typerw riter
ribbon. If you are out of kind words,
typewriter ribbon and overalls, come
on with the money! It will he a
shock, but we are going to stand it
if we bust a tug"!?Exchange.
TAFTS FIRST MESSAGE.
Crgcs Immediate Consideration of
Tuft's First Message.
Washington. March 16.?President
Tuft's message was received by the
senate and house today with demon
strations In both bodies. The mes
sage was as follows:
"To the Semite and House of Repre
sentatives:
"1 have convened the congress In
this extra session in order to (?nable
it to give Immediate consideration to
'he revision of the Dingley tariff act.
Conditions affecting production, man
/ufaeturo and business generally have
so Changed In the 1U years as to ro
quire a readjustment and revision of
the Import duties Imposed by thai net.
Wore than this, the present tariff act.
with tho othor sourcoB of government
revenue, does not furnish income en
ough to pay tho authorized expendit
ures. Dy Juno 1 next excess of ex
penses ovor receipts for tho current
?fiscal year will equal $1.000.000.000.
"Tho successful party In the late
election Is pledged to a revision of the
tariff. Tho country and the business
community, especially, expect It.
The prospect of a change In tho ratos
of Import duties always causes a sus
pension or halt In business of tho
uncertainty as to the changes to ho
made and their effect. It is. there
fore, of the highest importance that
the new bill bo agreed upon and pass
ed With as much Speed as possible
consistent With its due and thorough
consideration. For these reasons i
have deemed the present to he an
extraordinary occasion, within the
meaning of the constitution, justify
ing, and requiring tho calling of an
extra session. .

A 12AHDEN THAT PAYS.
Something From It Every Duy Practi
cally the Whale Year.
Messrs. Editors: In your light to
raise the farmers of our section to a
level with our section. I am heartily
with you. and your past object les
SOUS rae very significant, and are held
up to view so that the poorest of us
need not fall to take advantage of \
them. It is the $T>00 more per farm
er that makes the difference between
comparative poverty and comparat
ive affluence. What comforts to
the wife and children, in fact, the .
whole family circle, that $500 more
would give. Possibly the way 1 inadt
$500 this past year may he as effect
ive ;>s anything 1 call say. and it is
so simple and easy all C011 do it.
This is entirely Independent of my
farm.
First, then. 51 year ago last Novem
ber. I plowed up a little strip of
ground 40x60 and set it out in straw
berries, and in December covered '
the piece with cow manure. Then
in December and January 1 covered
over about two acres with stable ma
nure. 1 also started a few early
cabbage and tomatoe plant in a box
set in the kitchen window. Along
In February 1 plowed up probably
one-tenth of an acre for early toma
toes, double furrowing the ground,
dropping in a piece of potato with one
eye, every is inches?Early Hliss the
variety?covering them with best
rooted stable manure I could get
from the barn. Tin- horse plowing
covered the entire row with sott
ground. I commenced having new
potatoes last June, and still have
them. (lathered about $30 worth, or
30 husbels.
In March I had my entire garden
plowed deep, turning under the stable
manure that had lain on the ground
hat was well covered with it. I
iltetl put out my early garden -cab
bage, redishes. lettuce, spinach, ear
ly turnips, etc. In April 1 pul in
parsnips and salsify?having them
fresh from the garden almost daily
now. Later, planted my summer
garden, and in August planted 200
winter cabbage plants that have furn
ished us a head a day for three mon
ths. Commencing with my early
st rawherries and currants in May. 1
have bad something fresh from that
garden daily, besides having a surp
lus for the two cows and pigs a part
of the time.
In April 1 deep plowed nearly an
acre, harrowed thoroughly, seeded in
Amber cane, from which I received
over two tons of lino hay. My cane
was all cut by September for second
or third time. Then I turned under
and seeded to rape and hairy vetch;
this has kept f>0 hens and one-half
dozen pigs In green feed all winter.
I plnnted late potatoes in July as
second crop, when early garden came
off.
My two cows have paid me $100
each besides their keep. My pigs
paid me over $10 per head net profit.
I have got planted some early cab
bages?looks "cute" to see them grow
ing right near my mature beads. 1
have established a rotation that
, would, If I had to buy it. cost me
nearly $500, and our old Quaker say
ing Is. "A penny saved is worth two
earned."
CROSS HIM Wil l. HELP.
Monument Fund to be Gathered There.
A Nice Amount Expected.
Cross Hill. Mar. 21).?The Cross Hill
people will be willing to contribute
their share of the $200 asked of Lau
rens county to erect a monument to
the women of the Confederacy. It is
hoped that some one who remembers
how our mothers and sisters denied
themselves and worked, making cloth
ing, knitting and such like, also how
they managed farms and attended to
business while the men and boys wero
at the front, will go around and give
our people a chance to contribute to
this cause. I would suggest Instead
of a marble shaft, at $1.500, to erect
three cottages for orphans, one at
Connie Maxwell, one at Epworth, and
one at Thornwell, at $f.,000 each. Who
will volunteer to get It Up
You will always find here the lar.

will be money saved for you.
