and, in ho told the jury that <lb/>
strict law, wife bad no <lb/>
right to chastise her child herself, <lb/>
except by the consent of her <lb/>
band, actual or implied. In the <lb/>
view the husband was the <lb/>
supremo bend of household, <lb/>
and he, and such as he alone <lb/>
should authorize, had legal <lb/>
right to punish child by whip- <lb/>
ping. The was, of <lb/>
course, convicted the <lb/>
charge, but no appeal taken as <lb/>
the fine imposed was nominal. It <lb/>
may be regretted that the case <lb/>
was not carried up, because it <lb/>
would be interesting to learn <lb/>
our highest court would <lb/>
say on point. <lb/>
The position taken by <lb/>
Meares was a startling one to <lb/>
wives and mothers of Charlotte, <lb/>
most of whom were under <lb/>
that they and not their <lb/>
had the highest right <lb/>
to punish the children ; and it <lb/>
would doubtless take more than <lb/>
one supreme court decision to <lb/>
convince them of their error <lb/>
While we are obliged to <lb/>

met Wynne on road, I told him Butler <lb/>
be hid gun. Wynne denied <lb/>
it and I told him he ought to go see <lb/>
Butler. I asked him to the cir- <lb/>
of the killing. He said all <lb/>
Were going hunting. Keel proposed to <lb/>
wrestle with Crandall and the latter <lb/>
replied he able. Then Reel <lb/>
proposed to wrestle with and <lb/>
Butler refused, he ran Butler and <lb/>
they f II j wrestled again, The <lb/>
third threw him a-id Keel <lb/>
pot up and at him and drew his <lb/>
at h'm and struck him across <lb/>
hack with gun ; then went to <lb/>
out his hand and <lb/>
stepped back and shot him. There <lb/>
were no threats or hard <lb/>

Joe Roebuck I recollect being in <lb/>
conversation with Warren and N. L. <lb/>
Gray coming up at lime, we were <lb/>
nearly through. I told Butler his <lb/>
statement did not correspond with <lb/>
but did not tell him they <lb/>
must get together. Warren said he <lb/>
did not see Keel shoot <lb/>

time to see Keel strike him across <lb/>

Said Keel would have Killed him but <lb/>
Warren knock, d gun off. then <lb/>

That evening late and Warren <lb/>
both told me they did not believe Keel <lb/>
killed Crandall intentionally. I don't <lb/>
know Butler's character. <lb/>
Rollins and <lb/>
myself went in jail lo see Keel soon <lb/>
after he was placed in jail There has <lb/>

GUM ON TOBACCO. <lb/>
O. L. <lb/>
The leading editorial in this <lb/>
issue of the Danville Tobacco Journal, <lb/>
deals mainly with a feature in which <lb/>
our N, C. are <lb/>
vitally interested. Below is <lb/>
in lull our may take <lb/>
warning the advice and be govern <lb/>
ed accordingly. I say in this eon <lb/>
n ii however that when those en <lb/>
the mm <lb/>
with tobacco prepared over h u <lb/>
steps once be taken to rented <lb/>
as they th <lb/>
for our wit U <lb/>
American and anything <lb/>
that cripples the export trade damage <lb/>
in a most serious proportion the demand <lb/>
our product. <lb/>
The Journal says <lb/>
the past week <lb/>
tobacco here to contain leaves <lb/>
Upon which there were quite a deposit <lb/>
of rosin gum. The tobacco was <lb/>
the new tobacco sections of <lb/>
Eastern North and South <lb/>
Carolina, a section. <lb/>
is presume I that the bums as <lb/>
well as the hanging poles used in <lb/>
are made pine limber, and in <lb/>
the process of curing the extreme heat <lb/>
forces the rosin the limber and <lb/>
causes It to drip cu the tobacco. <lb/>
matter is becoming a serious <lb/>
one. that the dealers of all <lb/>
the markets of Virginia aim North <lb/>
Carolina are receiving complaints <lb/>
their correspondents concerning it, and <lb/>
Immediate steps should be taken by the <lb/>
boards trade of several markets <lb/>
to remedy this evil. <lb/>
of new barns will, no <lb/>
doubt be built in above sections <lb/>
the coming and in justice to <lb/>
as well as <lb/>
to the trade at large, should be <lb/>
made to know emphatically that a MO <lb/>
of the evil will result <lb/>
to the tobacco interests of those <lb/>
under tobacco an j have <lb/>
found that the of<lb/>
cent, of potash the brat result, j <lb/>
For instance in one locality in this <lb/>
county where formerly farmers <lb/>
accustomed to film good last <lb/>
year there was but one real bright crop <lb/>
made and that was made on not <lb/>
especially extra tobacco. I hare <lb/>
made inquiries, as to the guano used <lb/>
and I find that it rims t roe <lb/>
to one end a half per rent, higher <lb/>
in potash than guano u ed by the <lb/>
neighbors. pen n was the only <lb/>
me using this brand guano in his <lb/>
section. <lb/>
Alter noting a good many instances <lb/>
kind am led to the conclusion <lb/>
that in order lo make better tobacco we <lb/>
need more potash. I think t would be <lb/>
a good idea for tobacco farmers in ad- <lb/>
to the of guano they are <lb/>
accustomed to use add enough potash <lb/>
to i at least or per cent, <lb/>
potash. Almost any guano mall can <lb/>
order the potash for you and as I <lb/>
additional coat will not wry much <lb/>
it would pay to try it. <lb/>

There is no limit to republican <lb/>
Not was the <lb/>

before an opportunity had been <lb/>
members to go through even the <lb/>
amendment I to have them <lb/>
overruled by the instead being <lb/>
voted down by th- members, to more <lb/>
than about one-sixth of the entire bill, <lb/>
but an amendment was forced down <lb/>
throats the members <lb/>
which is generally conceded lo be <lb/>
unconstitutional, and to be in <lb/>
conflict with a decision handed down by <lb/>
the V. S. Supreme court since the <lb/>
Wilson tariff bill became a law This <lb/>
amendment makes the duties which will <lb/>
be imposed by the bill go into <lb/>
fled ugh no one expects <lb/>
bill to become a law at least <lb/>
three months, and no one has any means <lb/>
knowing how the duties will stand <lb/>
the bill passes the Senate. This <lb/>
is a bluff pure simple, <lb/>
intended to frighten <lb/>
importations while the is <lb/>
pending in Senate. If It works, <lb/>
the importers are a set. as there <lb/>

THE USE OF POTASH <lb/>
O. L. <lb/>
Ill view of fact that land <lb/>
continuously in tobacco for a number <lb/>
of years deteriorates or I some very <lb/>
important plant lite producing <lb/>
in the tobacco crop, tanners <lb/>
instead of complaining as we are all <lb/>
prone to do about poor crops an low <lb/>
prices, should set about lo ascertain <lb/>
what is lacking in the soil to make to- <lb/>
Tobacco culture is a <lb/>
branch of agriculture that requires the <lb/>
exercise if a good deal of <lb/>
thought and business ml to make <lb/>
it and unless it is <lb/>
it is a most expensive crop. <lb/>
The business of a bank is <lb/>
lo see to it that the deposits are not <lb/>
overdrawn, and when they are largely <lb/>
awn banks sometimes tail. The <lb/>
farmer should see to it his land <lb/>
is not overdraw ii, and he neglects this <lb/>
duty it will be very long <lb/>
before his farm be bankrupt. <lb/>
If a merchant that under his <lb/>
established methods of doing business <lb/>
he sees his trade gradually, but surely <lb/>
leaving he will change his tactics <lb/>
in order to control his trade. If a <lb/>
tanner that by old system <lb/>
of tanning his crops are poorer <lb/>
should change his just as <lb/>
any other man. <lb/>
There are apt that <lb/>
have been planting tobacco for the past <lb/>
four years who not realize land <lb/>
planted continuously in tobacco does <lb/>
not produce as well as fresh laud or <lb/>
land that has been rotated. This leads <lb/>
to but conclusion, that to pro <lb/>
a in the soil that we <lb/>
fail to put back by the ordinary use <lb/>
ordinary fertilizer Realizing this and <lb/>
not knowing what this deficiency was I <lb/>
Wrote Dr. Battle, letter in reply <lb/>
to opinion on this subject appeared <lb/>
in t Summing <lb/>
the whole thing up requires a <lb/>
great deal of potash and being <lb/>
plant d continuously on the same land <lb/>
number of years the supply of <lb/>
punish as a matter of course is largely <lb/>
demolished and unless potash in <lb/>
increased quantity over what we are <lb/>
accustomed to use added the crops <lb/>
to poorer each yea-. <lb/>
Since the publication of Dr. Baltic s <lb/>
letter I have thought over the matter <lb/>
considerably and have talked with a good <lb/>
on the subject and every one <lb/>
agrees that where tobacco follows crops <lb/>

A OR KOBE. <lb/>
It is due to the skillful surgery <lb/>
of Dr. Joseph P. Tunis, of <lb/>
that Mrs. John <lb/>
of Pa., has a nose like <lb/>
else. The third <lb/>
is missing Mrs- Edwards <lb/>
light hand, but it is now a part of <lb/>
her face, for it was grafted there <lb/>
to form a new nose for her. Mrs- <lb/>
admitted to the <lb/>
Methodist Episcopal Hospital <lb/>
late in fall to be treated for <lb/>
a growth- ail- <lb/>
was carefully treated and <lb/>
eked, but it had left an <lb/>
sightly blemish where the pa- <lb/>
nose had b. en. Mrs- Ed- <lb/>
wards a great deal over <lb/>

Dr. suggested a rem- <lb/>

undergo the by <lb/>
of one of her fingers was <lb/>
to be to take the place of <lb/>
node. <lb/>
The was and <lb/>
the operation begun. Dr. Tunis <lb/>
cut off the end joint of th <lb/>
finger of bet right hand, and dis- <lb/>
articulated the two <lb/>
bones. The baud was, in <lb/>
position over Mrs. <lb/>
and the boneless flesh Mi <lb/>
over the damaged nose and <lb/>
stitched to the face. Bandages <lb/>
of crinoline, spread with plaster <lb/>
of pans, were wrapped about the <lb/>
patient's body, holding the arm <lb/>
firmly in place. The hand and <lb/>
remaining fingers were padded <lb/>
to prevent maceration of the face, <lb/>
and for three weeks Mrs- Ed- <lb/>
wards remained in that position. <lb/>
Her hand almost entirely covered <lb/>
face, it was necessary to <lb/>
feed her by means of a tube in- <lb/>
into the left corner of her <lb/>
mouth- Occasionally the band- <lb/>
ages were removed, but the hand <lb/>
was never allowed to change its <lb/>
position. <lb/>
The finger was firmly grafted <lb/>
to the face. It was treated <lb/>
with a preparation cocaine <lb/>
was severed from the baud. Both <lb/>
wounds were dressed <lb/>
patient was none the worse for <lb/>
the operation She was much <lb/>
better off, as a matter of last, f r <lb/>
the new nose was quite as good as <lb/>
the average The nasal <lb/>
which had nut been <lb/>
affected by the cancerous ail- <lb/>
had been packed with <lb/>
and the were <lb/>
thereby reserved. Mr.- K <lb/>
has left the hospital with a new <lb/>
nose, hardly less exact form <lb/>
than her one. <lb/>

sneers too bard at the mechanic. If <lb/>
a boy or young man is <lb/>
sneering at a mechanic, it would <lb/>
be quite as well not to let a hard- <lb/>
working mechanic catch him at it. <lb/>
When tho boy wants to sneer real <lb/>

instead of plunging right into the <lb/>

from public office-being somewhat <lb/>
more frequent at that than <lb/>
now. His successor was John Mar- <lb/>
shall of Virginia, who was years <lb/>
of age when he assumed this post <lb/>
by appointment of President John <lb/>
Adams. He held it uninterruptedly <lb/>
for years, until his death, in <lb/>
Andrew Jackson appointed his <lb/>
Roger B. Taney of Mary- <lb/>
land, who held the office until his <lb/>
death, in Judge Taney was <lb/>
years of ago when appointed and <lb/>
at the of his death. chief <lb/>
justice of the supreme court perhaps <lb/>
had more intricate questions to de- <lb/>
or to vote in that <lb/>
than did Judge Taney, and <lb/>
his tenure and that of Chief Justice <lb/>
Marshall stretch over nearly one- <lb/>
half of the history of the United <lb/>
States as a nation. Chief Justice <lb/>
Taney's successor was Salmon P. <lb/>
Chase of Ohio, who had previously <lb/>
been secretary of and <lb/>
was of age when appointed. <lb/>
He served for nine years, dying in <lb/>
Mr. Chase was appointed by <lb/>
Abraham and it is a part of <lb/>
the history of their day that Mr. <lb/>
Chase was himself a candidate for <lb/>
t he presidency arm had hoped to de- <lb/>
feat Mr. Lincoln for renomination <lb/>
and to succeed him, and later, in <lb/>
1808, it is known that Mr. Chase <lb/>
was a candidate for the Democratic <lb/>
nomination for presidency, <lb/>
though he had been of the <lb/>
founders of the Republican party. <lb/>
Chief Justice Chase was succeeded <lb/>
in 1873 by President Giant's <lb/>
of another Ohio man, <lb/>
Morrison R. was <lb/>
years of age when appointed and <lb/>
served until when <lb/>

the supreme court. <lb/>
In addition to the chief justices <lb/>
who have served, several men have <lb/>
been nominated for the office but re- <lb/>
by the senate, which has con- <lb/>
power. office of chief <lb/>
justice is by many citizens more <lb/>
highly than that of the <lb/>
presidency. The labor is less, the <lb/>
