Number 40.
Tlie British govern mentis prepar
ing to ration large bodies of troops,
probably in Egypt, as soon as the
weather in that hot climate be
comes sufficiently cool to permit of
military operations. A dispatch
from Chicago say" that the firm of
Armour & Co., of that city, have re
ceived an order from the English
government for 5,000,000 cans of
meat for the army. To execute
this order will require 70,000 cattle.
Should the general war which the
unsettled state of affairs indicates
in Europe, other and heavier drafts
will be made upon this country, and
the price of provisions will rise out
of reach. Therefore, our farmers
should prepare to meet this . con
tingency by planting heavily of
provision crops, and go to raising
meat—and if the war does not come,
it is the right policy any way.

We have been asked how “the all
cotton” habit came to be so univers
ally adopted, and why it is tenants
move away to a new home ever
year. The answer to both these in
quiries is as plain as daylight. To
the first inquiry we reply: Imme
diately after the war the land
owners found themselves bereft ot
their slave property, while four
years of short cotton crops during
the war had run the price of cotton
up to 30 or 40 cents per pound, and
the farmer saw that it would re
quire very little to support his white
family. Besides these inducements,
the West had been making extra ex
ertions to raise provisions to feed
the Union armies, and when the
war closed, fond the armies' were
disbanded, the Western farmers
found themselves with a vast
amount of provisions on hand,
which must be sold for what it
would tiring. This brought provis
ions dawn to cheap figures in, com*
panson with the price of cotton.—
The farmer concluded that he had
struck a “bonanza,” indeed he con
cluded that there were “millions in
it,” and it was common to hear the
assertion among them,, that they
could buy more provisions with the
•cotton produced on one' acre than
could be raised on five. This fixed
the policy, and the farmer forced
liia tenants to plant cotton exclusive
ly. For a year or two things went
on swimmingly, but two or three
heavy cotton crops glutted the
market, the price dropped rapidly,
until to-day the price is so low that
it will barely pay the expense of cul
tivation. The surplus stock of pro
visions in the West was exhausted,
and the provisions as rapidly ad
vance, until it required all the cot
ton a farmer could raise to pay lor
his rations, and so often and so
many have failed even to do that,
that many of them are badly in
debt. The boom lasted just long
enough for all the stock in the coun
try to die of neglect or be eaten by
hungry, thieving negroes. But the
stungest part of the matter is,
why will the farmers continue a
system which has led to the verge
of ruin. But they tell us theycaunot
now abandon this policy, which is
41 s foolisli as was its adoption. The
newspaper editors, men who keep
informed of the commercial effects
of all crops, early sow the result of
this wild policy, and raised theory
against it from one end of the South
to the otheft Thejrvvarn was:un-
helijpd, nj&cl they were laughed at
for their pains.
The second query is ns easy to an
swer. When the slaves were eman
cipated, they concluded that they
were not free if they did not move
away from their former master, and
this disposition was aided by' the
action of the white farmers tttem-
solves, who tickled the ears of their
neighbors’ hands with specious
promises, and enticing them to
leave their homes. So long and to
such an extent was this practice In
dulged in that the legislature was
compelled to puss a law' against it
with a severe penalty attached, and
that has not wholly eradicated the
evil. When the end of the year
came, tlio negro laborer found him
self without money, in rags, not a
mouthful of provisions and a ma
jority of them figured deeply into
the debt of their employers, and he
moved away In the vain attempt to
better his condition. A general
moving around took place. The
same result at the end of each suc
ceeding year juts ohuhjmI tli^-same
moving around of labours »hd ten
ants until the habit has become a
fixed one.
We have often heard this habit
and unrcHubkmfsfl of negro hipor-
cra complained of by our farmers,
but none of them seem to have any
idea of a remedy tor this great and al
most universal evil. Lot us tell
them one which will make their la
bor permanent and will go far in
improving itsreliabillty/No laborer
or workman of any kind or color
will be reliable unless his place is
made valuable to him, and no man
enn work with a hearty good will
or be contented if his mind is trou
bled with doubts about his pay, and
all laborers in such a position are
unreliable, and they will leave the
first opportunity which offers them
a prospect of bettering their con
dition. Then, promise your labor
ers fair, living wages, and pay them
promptly what you have promised,
and your hands will be permanent,
they will naturally take an interest
in your business, and you may pick
the best iu the country. As an in
stance of this fact, we point to the
hands at work on the railroads,
who work early and late, (of a Sun
day if necessary) and who have the
most laborious work to perform—
yet they remain at it because their
pay is certain and timely. Of
course there are many who will
work for neither love or mon
ey, but the great majority of them,
we feel confident, would become
permanent, reliable laborers if the
above suggestion was carried out
in good faith.'

The charges that Judge Thos. G.
Lawson mnkes to the grand juries
ot his circuit elicit the approval and
praise of all who hear them. They
are not long, they do not contain
unnecessary words, but go at once
to the marrow of all topics of which
they treat. They show the mind
and understanding of an accom
plished jurist, and set forth in sim
ple but comprehensive language the
duties of grand jurors.
In his charge to the jury Monday
morning, at this place, Judge Law-
son spoke as follows upon a subject
that is of interest and importance
to every farmer*—the subject being
that of contracts with farm labor.
“I am requested to call your at
tention to illegal interference with
labor contracts—a hurtful and un-
neighjiorly practice which prevails,
as I am informed, in some parts of
the county. For want of informa
tion I am unable to give you Jhe
mflnes 6f persons who are accused
of it. But such practice ought not
to be encouraged by omission ofthe
grand jury. It is well known that
among planters labor contracts are
made at the beginning of the year,
and that all business arrangements
are made, and all expenses and op
erations of the ensuing year are
calculated with reference to the
number of laborers then employed.
It is also well known that many of
the laborers in the county have had
defective training in regard to the
binding obligation of contracts, and
are easily seduced from them by
more flattering promises of wages.
Much damage may therefore be
done our farming community, and
especially to the provident, thrifty
and energetic part of it, if unlawful
interference with such contracts is
tolerated. Power to punish such
unlawful contracts conferred in the
courts by tiie following section of
the code:
‘If any person by himself or agent
shall be guilty of employing the ser
vant of another, under a written
contract which shall be attested by
line or more witnesses*, during the
term for wliiph he, she or they may;'
be employed, knowing tlmt such
servant was so employed, and that
his term of service was not expired;
qr if ^uiy,person or. persons shall en
tice, porsuade or decoy,.or attempt
to entice, persuade or decoy any
servant to leave lus employer, eith
er by offering higher wages, or in
any other way whatever, during the
term of service, knowing that said
servant was so employed, shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor,
Ac.’
The term of service is not ended
by the voluntary breach of the con
tract by the servant and his depar
ture from the service of his employ
er. 'flip contract exists until the ey*
piration of the specified tlmo or un
til disolved by the consent of the
parties, or by operation of the law.”

Lynched by Ids Own Bare.
Memphis, Tenn., March 23.—In
formation has just been received
here of a lynching that took place
near Artesia, Miss. The victim was
Jake Doss, colored, and the lynch
ers were all of his own race. It
seems that Doss separated from his
wife with a view to marrying an
other woman, and had urged the
former to agree to a divorce, which
she refused to do. Finally Doss pre
tended to repent his desertion, and
went back to his wife. A few days
after the reconciliation lie urged
her to go with him to Artesia, about
six miles off, on a pretense of hav
ing her look at a horse he thought
of buying. As they were crossing a
bridge on the way home he hit her
on the head with a club, fracturing
her skull. She fell into the creek
below and sank to the bottom.
Within 48 hours Doss married his
paramour and went to Starksville.
Suspicion was aroused by the sud
den marriage, coupled with the dis
appearance of his former wife. A
search was instituted and the vic
tim’s body was found in the creek
with the skull crushed as stated.
The chain of circumstantial evi
dence was completed by the testi
mony of several persons who saw
Doss and the woman just before
they reached the bridge that after
noon of the murder. A warrant
was sworn out charging Doss with
murder, and he was arrested in
Starksville and brought back to Ar
tesia for preliminary examination
prior to incarceration in the jail at
Columbus. The same night a body
of two or three hundred colored men
assembled in Artesia and proceeded
quietly to the store in an upper
room of which Doss was confined
in charge of an officer. About a
dozen of the mob ascended to the
room, surprised and bound the offi
cer, and led his prisoner down. They
then placed Doss in the centre of
the crowd and started for a trestle-
work on the railroad, a few hundred
yards distant, where they hanged
him in the most approved style.
The body was cut down the next
morning and a coroner’s inquest
held. A verdict of “death by hang
ing at the hands of parties un
known,” was rendered.
Dying of Hydrophobia.
CiiK'ACio, March 20.—Samuel La-
zare, a Frenchman, of 211 West
Lake street, was bitten in the hand
by a Newfoundland dog eight weeks
ago. A small wound was made in
the cartilage which connects, the
tliuiub and forefinger of the left
hand, but was so slight that Lazare
paid no attention to it for a time.
Within the past week his left hand
and arm began to swell, and on
Tuesday he complained of a severe
pain in his shoulders. The next
day, while attempting to drink a
glass of water, he was suddenly
seized with a terrible spasm, lasting
many minutes. Dr. Probeck was
then called in. Every symptom
pointed to hpdrophobia, and after
summoning Dr. Neil in consultation
it was decided to keep the patient
under the influence of anodynes.
All attempts to administer medi
cines in liquid form proved futile,
as at the first glance at them Lazare
was seized with a spasm. It be
came necessary, therefore, to give
medicine to him in the shape of
pills. On Wednesday night the sick
man was taken with a terrible con
vulsion. lie snapped and snarled
at every one within reach, and the
family were compelled to call in
four strong men to hold him down
in bed. Lazare took the queer no
tion that no one should wait on him
except a Miss Wolf. Her father
and Lazare are old friends, and the
day his symptoms became alarming
lie Sent for the daughter. If she
left him for two minutes at a time
lie would call for her. Yesterday
when Miss Wolf was frying to give
the sick man some medicine a spasm
seized him, .and without a moment’s
warning he threw his arm around
her and attempted to bury hi« teeth
in her cheek. Fortunately he did
not succeed in breakiifg the skin,
but the mark- could plainly be stien.
Lazare died at 7:30 last evening.
He had a slight convulsion before
passing away.

HaIjEIOIT* N. I’., March 21.—Near
Concord, Caharas county, ltobcrt
Paul bought a gold mine which
years ago was partially opened by
an Englishman, at whose death
work was stopped. The mine filled
with water, a large mound taken
from it became covered with vines.
This week Paul hauled some of the
earth from near the mouth of the
mine to his house. Among the
gravel was u lump of gold. He
took the earth to the creek, washed
it, and got $325 from a cart load.—
lie kept the affair secret. There
are 2,000 bushels of earth at the
mouth of the pit, and a man named
Eli Hanson made Paul a cash offer
of $50 per bushel for it, which was
refused.
It is stated by a man 00 years old
that the mine was really worked
by the Englishman in a mysterious
way and with wonderful success. It
was in Cabnrns county that gold
was first found in North Carolina.
The nugget weighed twenty-eight
pounds, and for many years remain
ed the largest on record until sur
passed by one found in California
and lately by one discovered in Aus
tralia.

The Cabinet Luilim.
Washington, March 24—Mrs.
Manning is so far the queen bee in
the new Cabinet. She is a bride.,
although not a very young woman,
and brought to Mr. Manning some
wealth and a social position. She
is tall, with a slender, graceful fig
ure, lias good features, light brown
hair and great animation and grace
of manner. As a thorough society
woman and wholly equal to the de
mands of her position Mrs. Man
ning will soon be the best known
and most popular ofthe new coterie.
Mrs. Vilas received with Mrs. Man
ning at the. Arlington yesterday,
and this quiet, graceful little woman
who made the acquaintance of so
ciety last week while the guest of
Mrs. Leiter, lias won great favor al
ready. Mrs. Vilas goes back to
Wisconsin in a few days and will
not bring her children on and es
tablish herself regularly in a house
until fall. Mrs. Endicott, wife of
the new War Secretary, was also at
home at the Arlington, and the visi
tors found her to be a typical Mas
sachusetts woman; a cool, clear
headed, energetic Yankee, whose
blood is the bluest of any in the
great common wealth. Mrs. Endi
cott is tall and sparely built. Her
feature?! are clear cut and decided
and with her dark eyes she lias a
crown of gray hair, that was wound
high and laid in smooth coils on
the top of her head. She had a
pleasant welcome and a vigorous
handshake for all yesterday and a
fund of quickly spoken small talk
at command. All Massachusetts
gathered in her parlors and were
proud to toll one In asides how the
Endicott family tree ran genera
tions beyond that of the Adams
family, including the “haughty En-
dicott,” British governor of the ear
ly colony, and known to the young
er generation through the “Ballad
of Cassandra Southwick,” a favorite
declamation at school exercise.
The following is the formal re
port of a young pension examiner,
presented in all seriousness, recent
ly on a pension claim. It need not
be stated that t lie letter critic of the
division returned it with instruc
tions to the writer:
Sir: In the claim for invalid
pension, No. 38!),9G3, of Jacob Fresh
3d Independent Ohio Cavalry Vol
unteers, the claimant alleges that
lie was engaged in a hand-to-hand
fight with his sabre for a distance
of five miles, near Huntonville, Va.,
July 5, 18(53, and that \VliiIe in said
fight, lie was shot in the right arm,
and shot in the left arm and leg.—
The claim is inadmissible without
further and more definite informa
tion. The claimant is, therefore,
required, with the return ot this
letter, to state, under oath, what
caused him to get into a fight with
his sabre; what kind of a sabre lie
got into a fight with; how he hap
pened to have a hand-to-hand fight
with it; whether he had witnesses
during the fight; how lie managed
to get shot while fighting with his
sabre; whether it was a shooting sa
bre; whether he believes the sabre
shot him; whether it shot anybody
else; whether he shot it; how many
shots were fired; who fired the first
shot; whether the soldier was in the
habit of fighting his sabre; how long
a time lie fought it, and whether ho
had ever fought any other sabre.—
It should be shown by competent
testimony whether the soldier shot
tliemabre,or the sabre shot the sol
der. It should also be shown
whether they fought for’the ‘dis
tance of five miles apart, or the sa
bre was live mill's long.
Very respectfully,
In December, 1883, Moses Jones
and other poultry dealers, says the
Savannah News, in the market pe
titioned the city council to allow
them to continue the sale of poul
try at their stalls during Christmas
eve. The petition was granted, but
owing to informality or misunder
standing, the dealers were ordered
by the clerk of t he market to cease
selling their produce at 5 o’clock in
the afternoon.
The dealers lost the opportunity
to sell the poultry which they had
procured and dressed, the greater
portion of the stock spoiled on their
hands, and hence they were out of
pocket certain sums of money.—
Jones brought suit in the city court
against the mayor and aldermen of
the city, and the case came on to
trial last Tuesday, when the history
of the transaction as above narrated
was elicited. The jury returned a
verdict in favor of Jones for the
sum of $21 25, and allowed him $25
for attorney’s fees. Several poul
try dealers whose business was sim
ilarly affected by the closing of the
market at the time referred to have
likewise brought suits against the
city, their claims aggregating about
$000. The case decided Tuesday
had for all parties concerned the
interest of a test case.

A son of one of the professors at
Columbian University in Washing
ton, died very suddenly last week,
after a short detention in his room.
Ho sudden was the attack that a
party of young men who had been
invited by the deceased to call upon
him and play whist, tept their en
gagement only to find their young
friend a corpse. It was learned
that the deceased, who was employ
ed in the patent office, had been in
the habit of indulging in cigarettes
excessively, and inhaling the
smoke. Two physicians held a
consultation, and after investiga
tion, decided that this practice had
exercised a depressing effect upon
the action of the heart, and had
hastened his death. Aortic regur
gitation was given as the primary
cause of death, which had been in
creased by the indulgence of the
deceased in the inhalement of ci
garette smoke. Everything possi
ble was done by the physicians for
their patient, hut his constitution
had been too surely underminded,
and in his last days lie was unable
to rest quietly in bed, but maintain
ed a sitting posion.
