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. Good for Vermont! She wi)] establish May 1 as an annual holiday in honor of Dewey’s victory at Manila.

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 ural Department. A Quiet Game. Tommy—Can we play at keeping store in here, mamma?

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 the volunteer army and assigned to duty on the t-t’-ff of corps com inanders. 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.
