A COWARDLY ACCUSATION.
W. B. Mincy, the hobo editor of
that measley little sheet, the Pickens
County Herald, who happened along
just in time to take charge while A.
L. Turner was fulfilling bis clerkship
under Tate at Washington, in his
sheet of last week accuses us, along
with Bascom Pass of the Young
Harris News, and J. B. Thomas of
the Dawsonville Advertiser,of selling
out to Howard Thompson. He has
just got enough mule sense to think
that because his office has been fitted
up with new type and material evi:
dently at the expense of the candi
date he is espousing the cause of,
that every other paper in the district
who happens to be for the other fel
low has sold out too.
The sheet that has been turned
out from that office until a short time
ago could t hardly have been read
without the aid of a microscope, but
since getting that new type, oh!
what elegant display of his faithful
ness to bis loyal Democratic candi
date for Congress who is so tied up
at his POST OF DUTY in Wash
ington that be cannot look after his
interests at home.
Now we want that measley little
blackguard to fully understand that
we never have received or contracted
to receive one cent of boodle money
from a candidate of any stripe in our
ten years service in newspaper work
and any one who will make any
statement to the contrary, either in
print or otherwise, is a har, a scoun
drel and a sneaking coward.—Blue
Ridge Post.
Inauguration Day.
The joint resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution, by which
May 4, instead of March 4, will be made
inaugation day, passed the Senate this
week and will no doubt be submitted to
the people.
The change would be a good one. It
will enable the visitor to Washington to
wear his new spring suit, instead of the
one that has served him all winter. He
can discard the old overcoat or mackin
tosh, and will be relieved of the neces
sity of purchasing a new pair of gloves.
He can drink beer instead of whisky.
If he is a “few shy” on cash a night
spent out of doors will not be too inHos
pitable. The country cousin who wants
to go to see a president “sworn in” can
carry a “biled ham” which, with loaves
of bread purchase*’ at any bakery, can
be eaten in odd places,without having the
winter winds to make his hand tremble
so that be jams a ham bone in bis eye or
bis ear instead of his mouth.
Our Water Supply.
This week the city authorities are en
gaged in cleaning up around the springs
at the water plant. No city has purer
water, and no city is more careful to
keep it so than ours. The water is as
clear as crystal and when drawn from
the hydrant it is as pure as it was when
it gushed from the side of the mountain
where the springs are located.
But few cities can say that when one
of their people turu the faucet in his
residence the water comes from the
mouth of a mountainside spring. We
appreciate this the more when we read
accounts of filtering the water in the
cities, or the best methods of causing
the mud to settle to the bottom of the
pitcher, that clear water may be had for
domestic purposes.
Don’t.
Don’t mistake self-conceit for genius.
Don’t judge a woman by the beauty of
her hair until you find out whether it is
natural or artificial.
Don’t submit to the inevitable until
you have positive proof that it is the in
evitable.
Don’t forget that machine made poli
ticians seldom become able statesmen.
Don’t trade a good wheel fora poor
one because the doctor recommends a
change.
Don’t rip the broad mantle of charity
apart and make it over into a pair of
bloomers.
When the little Petrel, of Admiral
Dewey’s squadron, comes home she
ought to be put in a glass case to receive
the admiring attentions of Americans.
She is a little bit of a craft, and is rated
in the naval lists as a gunboat, but the
reports show that she was in the thick
of the fight, and destroyed not less than
three of the enemy “with her own
bands,’’ so to speak. After the white
flag had been raised on Cavite, not for
the purpose of surrender, as the Spanish
commander claimed, but in order to gain
time to remove the women and children,
the Petral bluffed the garrison with a
threat to blow the whole neighborhood
off the face of the earth if American or
ders were not obeyed instantly. It is a
pity that Congress cannot pass a special
act promoting the Petrel to be a line-of
battle ship.
Soldiers who can march 40 miles a day
with scarcely anything to eat but sugar
cane will certainly drive the Spaniards
out of Cuba if we give them proper sup
port. The sooner the Cubans are fully
supplied and equipped the better.

Effect of Mineral Manures.
Question.—Do mineral manures tend
to exhaust the nitrogen in the soil ?
Answer.—The mineral manures ena
ble the plants to make use of the nitric
acid that is in the soil. Indeed, if they
are absent, the crops cannot take up this
nitric acid, no matter how great the
amount that is diffused through the soil.
Therefore the mineral manures cannot
be strictly said to exhaust the nitrogen,
for although they cause the plants to
take up a larger amount than they other
wise would, this does not increase the
exhaustion, as the the minerals only ar
rest and hold for the use of the crops
that which would otherwise be washed
awaf; —State Agricultural Department.
Question. —There is a bug eating up
my Irish potato plants, a specimen of
which I send you. Is there any sure
remedy for them, and if so what is it?
What is the name of the bug?
Answer.—The insect you enclose is
called the Colorado potato beetle, and is
very destructive to the Irish potato crop.
They have only appeared in Georgia
during the few years, but are
now thoroughly domiciled, and for
tunate is the owner whose patch
or field of Irish potatoes is not attacked
by them. They should be attacked on
their first appearance, as they multiply
rapidly, and any delay renders it more
difficult to get rid of them. They may
easily be distinguished from the striped
blister beetle (also an enemy to the po
tato plant, but less destructive), the lat
ter being much more slender in body and
longer, with longer legs, greater activity
and more ready to take flight. A very
effective remedy against the Colorado
beetle, especially on first appearance, is
to pick them off by hand, at the same
timejdestreying their eggs, which may
he found on the under side of the potato
leaves in masses, and are easily recog
nized by their orange color. The usual
remedy is to dust or spray the plants
with either Paris green or London pur
ple. If dusting is preferred use one part
of the poison to five parts of flour and
two to three parts of air slacked lime or
finely sifted ashes. Apply with a sifter or
perforated pan. It spraying is preferred
use 6 to 7 ounces of either poison to 50
gallons of water. Most persons prefer
London'purple because of its cheapness
and better mechanical condition, being
as a rule more finely powdered than the
Paris green. These applications may
have to be repeated two or three times
during the season.
, Remember that Paris green and Lon
don purple are both deadly poisons, and
should be handled most carefully. In
dusting apply in the morning, while the
dewl®-€H the" plants.—State Agricult

At one time Spain was the greatest of
powers, owner of half the world, and
uow has only a few islands, the small
change of her great fortune, the few
pennies m her almost empty purse,
souvenirs of departed wealth, ol vanished
greatness. Nbw Spain is bankrupt not
only in purse, but in higher faculties of
the mind, a nation without progress;
without thought; still devoted to bull
fights and superstition; still trying to
affright contagious diseases by religions
processions. Spain is a part of the me
diaeval ages, belongs to an ancient gen
eration. It really has no place in the
nineteenth century.—lngersoll.
11
salary o' the poor little King of
Spam amounts to only $2,000,000 a year
and now he is about to lose that.
Dewey’s son says he knew what would
happen when his father got down to bus
iness. He evidently has some boyhood
recollections.
Frank Stanton says: “The Spaniards
are blaming the little boy king as if be
were responsible for the whole business.
He doesn’t dare to shake bis rattle or
mount bis hobbyhorse in sight of the
populace. And he’s a fine little fellow
who can’t help being king, and the
American boys are interested in him and
have good will enough towaid him to
pass him a gingercake under a nursery
flag of truce.”
Blood is thicker than water, and the
time may not be far distant when the
English speaking people will have to
form an alliance to prevent the aggres
sion and insolence of the Latin speaking
nations. England and the United States
could make other nations “keep off the
grass.”
The Birmingham Age-Herald says
Spain is much ahead of the United States
in torpedoboats, torpedoboat destroyers,
and submarine boats. It might alsc add
sunken cruisers and warships.
If a few more of our war vessels re
member the Maine there will not be
enough of the Spanish navy left to
capture a fishing smack.
The people of Porto Hico do not,
it is said, feel very kindly to Spain
and would, therefore, welcome Amer
ican domination of the island. There
has been a great drouth, lasting six
months—consequently the people are
feeling poor. Crops of ail kinds have
failed. Notwithstanding ibis condi
tion of affairs, Spain hag just ordered
the people to tax themselves to feed
a large number of troops for six
month?.
It is said that John A. Logan, son
of General Logan, and Russell A.
Harrison, eon of ex-President Har
rison, will be appointed colonels ■'in

NUMBER 20.
Respect for the Living.
“Did you go to the funeral 1” one
woman asked another. “Yes,” was
the reply. “I always feel it a duty
to go to funerals and show my re
spect for the dead.” The two moved
on, but their conversation started a
train of thought within me. Is it
always a tribute of respect to go to
funerals, irrespective of persons, as
lam aware this woman does? No
matter what the rank of the deceas
ed, or how slight her acquaintance,
whether private funeral or not, rain
or shine, her presence may be count
ed upon.
It may be gratifying to the vanity
of some to have a large crowd at the
funerals of their beloved dead, but
to most sensible people the occasion
is too sacred and the sorrow too real
to care fdr the sympathy of casual
acquaintances. Friends’ faces are
always welcome during bereave
ment, and it is dutiful and beautiful
to express a word of hope when
most needed and to accompany the
stricken iones to the last resting
place of <the dead. But what about
the living around us, who are full
of life and ambition, or those bur
dened with sorrow none may guess?
Why not; give them “a glad good
morning,” or an hour or two of
your society at a time you feel they
must be lone.y? Wait not until
death comes and then rush to the
funeral as though you had always
been a most cherished friend. I like
it not—this custom prevalent in
small towns which permits any and
all to attend the funerals of those
to whom they are almost unknown
and whose motive for going is often
only curiosity.—Housekeeper.
A Simple Developer.
“Throw your complicated devel
opers out of the window*; use pyro
and soda and give your plates a
chance. When you find what will
develop, use it even if it is green
cheese.” This was the advice given
to me by a professional photogra
pher several years ago, and, follow
ing his suggestion, I have saved
money and secured* a greater pro
portion of good negatives. Here is
the formula as he gave it:
In distilled water dissolve sal soda
(ordinary washing soda) until the
hydrometer test is 30 degrees.
In another bottle dissolve sulphite
of soda until the hydrometer test is
40 degrees.
To develop, take equal parts of
each, and for a properly exposed
plate add 8 grains of pyro to 8
ounces of the combined solution. I
find that after a little practice I can
measure out the pyro in a small
wooden mustard spoon without
weighing it, and, knowing the plate
I have to develop, make each lot
favor the particular plate.
For testing I use an ordinary hy
drometer that costs 40 cents. In
mixing the solutions, they can be
made in such quantity as desired. I
have not attempted to give the
method of developing or the treat
men t of over or under exposed plates,
as this will be nearly the same, no
matter how the formula of a pyro
developer may differ.—New YorV
Mail and Express.
To Distinguish the English Walnut
Scale From the San Jose Seale.
Question. —We have what is called
the English walnut scale in our orchard.
How may we distinguish it from the
San Jose scale?
Answer.—A tree infested with the
San Jose scale presents different appear
ances according as it is badly infested
or only slightly infested. When tho
roughly encrusted with this insect the
tree takes on a grayish-brown ashy ap
pearance as though the trunk and limbs
had been painted with dampened ashes.
By scraping a limb with a knife the
scales may be removed, cohering like a
mass of wet bran.
If the tree is only slightly infested
the bark will be found to be dotted here
and there with very dark gray, often
black scales (about 1-16 of an inch in
diameter) surrounded by a purplish
tinge of the bark. The blackish appear
ance of this scale is especially notice
able during the winter and spring.
Later in the season, when the
overwintered insect reaches maturity
the scale takes on more of the grayish
appearance. Aided by a pocket micro
scope the female scale will be seen to be
circular and conical in outline, termi
nating at the center by a minute nip
ple-like prominence, surrounded by a
distinct ring. The male scales are
smaller and elongated, with the nipple
near the anterior end.
The English wa.nut scale is larger
(about one-twelfth of an inch in diame
ter) and more flattened than the San
Jose scale. It is circular in outline and
of a pale, grayish-brown color. The
nipple-like prominence is at one side of
the center and is reddish-brown. By
raising the waxy scale the body of the
insect is revealed, which is larger and
of a paler yellow color than that of the
San Jose scale. When one once be
comes familiar with these two scales it
is not difficult to distinguish them.
Left unchecked both will eventually
kill trees which they attack, but the
San Jose is much more prolific and less
time is required for its destruction of
the infested plant. W. M. Scott.
Entomologist.
It is perhaps not generally known
that the defense of Peking is still
largely intrusted to men armed only
with bows and arrows. A recent im
perial decree solemnly directs that
those v(ho "succeed in hitting the
target with their arrows on horse
back five times be given” such and
such rewards, while those who man
age to hit the mark four times on
foot and once on horseback and four
times on foot only shall be propor
tionately recompensed. The decree
concludes with a list of the presi
dents and tallyists appointed for
archery competitions which are still
to take place.
