Congress and Poatmaater Hitch-
cock, are trying to murder that mag
axtnea of the country by ralalng their
poatage 400 per cent. They tried to
kill off half the weeklies, amall dell-
lea, and magaslnes a few yearn ago.
hut /ailed no now they propone to
divide' them np and kill the maga
zine, then later half the weekllea anj
small dallies, on the hlg dnillea are
owned by the trusts and are not
dangerous to thejr “Interests,” such
•f (he weeklies and amall dallies.
Congress, after all the* grand-
aland play In throwing ont the House
hathtudM for economy’s sake, has
quietly voted them hack again. But
If the Senate will only throw out the
whitewash pall and let It stay out
all will be well.
It Is hoped that Congress will
finish Its business before March 4
so an eztra session,will not be nec
essary. If there Is anything that Is
harmful to business, It Is “an eitra
session" of Congress.

BAD FATE OF MB. YAXG-BAN.
The old Korean dynasty was not
only corrupt, but unspeakably stu
pld. Like the people, the King relied
on sorcerers or fortune-tellers to find
a lucky day or a lucky time of the
moon to do whatever he wished, and
in case of sickness consulted the
mutsng or conjurer. • Thus when the
prince had smallpok some years ago,
the niutang declared that the small
pox spirit or devil (who must al
ways be referred to with great re
spect as “His Excellency") would
not leave unless allowed to ride
horse-ljack clear to the Korean
boundary three hundred miles away;
and a gqyly caparison horse was
accordingly led the entire distance.
The government was also unfeign-
edly corrupt. Offices were given,
Just as lives wero taken, 'merely at
tho whim of th Throne. Taxes were
farmed out, the grafting collectors
taking from the people probably five
or six times as much as finally reach-
d the public treasury. More than
this th 0 nobility robbed the people
at will, and there was no authority
from whom they could pet redress.
Woe unto the man who became
energetic and Industrious under the
old dispensation! First the tax-
gatherers would relieve him of the
bulk of his swollen fortune, and
what was left the noble or "Yang-
ban," as the nobles were railed,
would take the trouble to borrow
but never take the trouble to repay.
For the Yang-ban was a "gentle
man,” ho was. It was beneath his
dignity to work—oven to guide the
reins of the horde he rode—but It
was not beneath his dignity to
sponge on his friends (I think the
verb "to sponge" Is too expressive
to remain slang) or to borrow with
out repaying. Moreover, In case of
extremity. It Is said that Mother
Yang-ban and Sister Ann might take
In washing, as Is recorded In the
classic lays of our own land, but
Father himself never defiled him
self by doing anything so dishonor
able as an honest day's work. But
alas and alack! for the degeneracy
of our times. The Yang-ban In Ko
rea have been deprived of their an
cient privileges, and 1 fear that even
their blood-kin In America are by no
means treated with the ancient de
ference and respect due to persons
of such exalted merit and blue-
blood.—Clarence Poe, In Raleigh
(N. C.) Progressive Farmer.

It is interesting to turn b*gk more
than a century and a quarter-
the earliest <lay« of the, Republic,
andthe careers of two lawyers who
would have been giants In any age
or in any country, and who Were an
tagonistic In character and purpose
—Alexander Hamilton and Aaron
Burr. Both men accepted, criminal a»
well aa civil ’ase*. One of the great
est efforts of Hamilton’s life was his
appearance for one Croaawell, charg
ed with publishing a scandalous libel
upon Thomaa Jefferson. The court
was divided In Its verdict, but the
prlBpner was never punlehed.
Aaron Burr, that erratic genius,
who lacked a balance-wheel. Is said
never to have lost a case In which he
alone was counsel, it Is also of rec
ord that he won a case In which,
by a queer trick of fate, bis assoc
iate counsel was Hamilton.. It was
a murder case. The actions and
manner of the principal witness
against the prisoner .seemed to Harr
exceedingly suspicious, and It la said
that Burr and Hamilton were un
decided In their own minds which
was the guilty party—the witness or
tho prisoner. Hamilton's summing
up waa perfunctory. Burr began to
address the Jury when It was nearly
dark. The witness for tho prosecu
tion was leaning against a pillar
Ills fare waa pallid and covered with
perspiration. He listened Intently to
the lawyer. Suddenly -Burr seized a
large candelabrum, and throwing
the light on the face of the witness,
shouted: "Behold the murderer,
gentlemen!” The witness turned and
rushed from the courf-roonvSrrm the
pr'soner waa acquitted. — F. P.

A YEAR FOR LOCUSTS.
This Is the year of the 17-year and
of the 13-year locusts, those expect
ed in the Chicago territory being
the 13-year race, which will cover
the Mississippi valley, particularly
Its lower half. The famous 17-year
brood largely will play their sbrill
drums In the eastern states. In 1898
a very careful study of the 13 lo
custs was made by IT-O. Howard,
Chief of the U. 8. Bureau of Ento
mology and also by entomologists of
several stales Including Illinois, Ken
tucky and Missouri.

HOW FEEDING PAYS.
Does good reading pay? Lqj> us
take for Illustration, a modern dis
covery which has done so muchJor
dairying, the Babcock test for but
ter fat. Who made this discovery?
Did the practical dairyman give thin
to his busloesse No; it came from
the scientist In his laboratory and
was given to the world through
hooka, bulletins and papers. Not one
In a thousand now familiar with this
great discovery heard of It first In
school or college.
Again, let ui take the question of
plant foodB and fertilisers, espe-
ially commercial fertilizers, through
which by spending $50,000,000 an
nually we are able to maintain our
crop production although our soils
have been depleted because of our
ignorance of agricultural knowledge.
Who made thla development possi
ble. The chemists, starting with
Ueberg and coming down through
the modern laboratories In no
sense Is the former—even the prac
tical farmer—reaponslble for this
development. How hag this knowl
edge been spread? By word
mouth or by schools? No, It has
reached the masses through the
printing press and the reading habit.
Was It the practical dairyman who
found out why milk sours and by
pointing the method of handling to
delay this, added millions to the
wealth of the dairymen, or was It
the bacteriologist In his laboratory?
How has this knowledge been made
the common property of the glasses?
By the agricultural press In the vast
majority of Instances. It 'la useless
to multiply Illustrations, for the con
clusion is Inevitable that If the mass
es are to become educated It must
be throught the extension of the
reading habit.—Raleigh (N. C.)
Progressive Farmer.

Interesting Indication that the negro
agriculturists ot that section own
more land and live better than form
erly.
We take from the News the fol
lowing outline of the experience* of
aeveral negro farmers, as given in
their own speeches, all Indicating a
promising Interest In their work,
self-reliance. Industry anJ a consid
erable measure of prosperity;
G. W- Smlthermsn. of Laurens
county, spoke of the co-operation of
the colored and white people In bis
county. The negroes own a thresh-
Ipg machine, a mill, and are making
gradual Improvement. They seem
more steady now than formerly.
Land has advanced greatly in tho
past few years, and the colored peo
ple appreciate It more than ever.
Rev, C. L, Blrncy, of Dodge coun
ty. said he farmed for a living nnd
■preached for pleasure. He raises all
that he eats. For fifteen years his
wife has not bought a pound of lard,

over 1,000 seres In Dodge county,
four own over 400 acres, slxty-slx
own from 800 to 400 acres, and 143
own from fifty to 100 acres. The
negroes own In Dodge county 26,-
703 acres ot land.
L W. Whitehead, of Eastman,
spoke of mortgages. He said that
more negroes mortgage now than
ever because of tho establishment of
banks willing to lend on land.
P.W. Riggs, of Bulloch, produced
seventy-seven bushels and a half ot
corn per aero last year with a farm
ot tblriy-fiva acres. Ho has three
horses and twenty-two bead of hoga,
twelve acrea In cotton, which last
year produced about 11,000 aad

W. H. Riggs, of Statesboro, has
forty acre*, produces all that ha and

GIANTS OF THE CRIMINAL BAR.
It Is undoubtedly true that In
former ttmea. In all parte of the
country, It was considered more Im
portant and more creditable to save
a mans life or liberty than to gat a
verdict where property only was
concerned. These days have passed,
however, aa far as New York Is con
cerned. and In n leaser degree, pos
sibly, in nearly all the Other states;
and despite the agitation on the tub
ed much of the Injury earned Iby tbe
punctures can be obviated.' 1 For any
one who has Intended to plant yonng
trees this year, tbe following advice
la given for protective measures:
“Ordinary repellent substances,
such as kerosone emulsion or car
bolic-add solutions, seem to have
very little effect In preventing the
ovl-posltlon of these Insects.
“Some more recent experience,
however, Indtcntcs that trees thor
oughly sprayed with Bordeaux mix
ture or lime wash are apt to be
avoided by the cicada, especially It
thore are other trees or woods In tho
neighborhood on wblob they
oviposit. The most reliable means
of protecting nurseries and young
orchards Is by collecting the Insects
In hags or umbrellas from thjJlfgiM
In early morning or late evening,
when they are somewhat torpid. 8uch
collections should be undertaken at
the first appearance ot the cicada
and repeated each day.” t
A SILO PAY'S WITH THREE COWS.
My experience Is that It pays to
have a alio for three or more edws
1 have a alio 7 feet in diameter
and 26 feet high. I keep three cowu
and feed the allage fast enough to
coop It sweet. • ■'
A silo of small diameter must have
hetghth of about four tln)e* the
diameter to get sufficient weight in-
silage to pack It firmly, thqreby In
suring silage of good quality.
By all means build n silo for-8
or more cows, as tbere' is no other
method ot feeding cows to profit
ably.—D. S. Harris, In Raleigh (N.
C.) Progressive Farmer. “

LS IT LOGICAL?
The express rate question is too
elaborate and too technical to be ex
pounded here 1 in full detail, says
Robert Sloss In an article ln Sua-
cesa Magazine entitled "Why la an
Express Company?” Salient points,
however, mutt tie brought out.
The rates are quoted at so much
a hundred pounds on different class
es ot merchandise from point to
point But there are curious compll
cations and discriminations. Some
of them arise out ot arbitrary ar
rangements under which the express
companies theoretically divide traffic
at stated points—th* frontier of
their "territories.”
Tbe express companies themselves
say that the chief service they ren
der 'a the terminal service. In tbe
words of the. president ot th* Ad
ams: ‘‘The collection, care and de
livery of packages constitute the
science ot the express business.”
