Raimng Sheep aud Dealing
Dogs.
With the almost certainty that the
mext Congress will rai e the duty
on wool, there is manifest in dif-
ferent sections a revived interest
gm sheep husbandry. We are in-
- debted to the Charleston News
and Courier for the information
, thala clab of farmers ia Columbia
county, Ga, has written to stock
@esler in North Carolina for
prices on high breeds of sheep,
and they will soon order the ne-
-eessary stock for the venture in
sheep and wool-growing which
they contemplate, Along with
this information comes the inter-
esting statemont that the entire
woo! product of Georgia is not
ene-tenth that of North Carolina
which proclaims Georgia far be-
hind in the business, for certainly
North Carolina has not much to
brag of in the extent of this in-
terest. In this, as in every other
Southern State, the dog is the
ever-present menace which has
diseouraged the business. The
News and Courier thinks the fear
from this source is over-estimated;
that disaster to the flock from
_dogs, need not necessarily result
oIndeed, it says:
oWe have recently been inform-
ed that there are 500 sheep in
oup flock on a farm not many
miles from Charleston, and that
they are not much troubled either
by dogs or by wildcats from the
neighboring swamps. The ex-
planation given of this marvel is
simply that strychnine 1s cheap,
and the owner of the flock keeps
asupply on hand. He inspects
his flock in the woods every day,
acd when he finds a dead one,
killed by a dog or cat, he loads
the carcass with some of the
powder and goes about his busi-
ness. He never shoots a dog,itis
said, bot the number of dead
ones he has found in. his pasture
since he began business is osome-
thing surprising,� and his sheep
: are seldom molested now.�
E Here, indeed, isa remedy for
the dog evil which beats all the
laws"especially the laws which
~gre never enacted. The sheep-
killing dog is .an Outlaw whom
any man finding may slay; the
South Carolina plan is heroic and
it it should accomplish two bene-
fits"increase te number of sheep
and do it at the expense of the
- dogs"we shall be prepared to ad-
mit that a protective tariff is not
gu cnmixed evil"Charlotte Ob-
~gporver.

For some days past the papers
have been publishing statements
from Cuba that Gen. Maceo, the
insurgent leader, had been killed.
While there were different ac-
counts of the killing, people were
slow to believe the reports from
the. fact that it had been given
out'so many times before that he
was dead. Bui the report is now
confirmed by particulars of the
affairs which shows that Maceo
was dealt with treacherously and
foully murdered. Not being able
to capture him and defeat the in~
surgents, the acting Captain Gen-
eral made overtures for peace to
him and invited him to a confer-
ence to arrange terms. Maceo ac-
cepted the invitation and pro-
ceeded to the appointed place of
meeting. Instead of making the
preposition in good. faith, the
acting Captain General used it as
a meaus of entrapping Maceo, for
when he reached the place ap-
pointed for the conference, he
and his escort were fired upon
from ambuch and murdered by
Spanish soldiers who had been
secreted for that purpose.
Such a dishonorable and dia-
bolical deed has served to make
sympathy for Cuba all the stroger
among Americans. ~he occur-
rence is adisgrace to the Spanish
goyernment. The United States
ought to interfere at oncs and by
recognizing the Cubans as belig-
erants put a stop to such butch-
eries as has been practiced by the
Spaniards.

It appears that in tho special
election in Jackson ceunty, Tues:
day, for a member of the Legisla
ture, to vote off the tie between
Messrs. Moore, Democrat and
Ensley, Republican, the Populists
generally voted for Mr. Ensley,
who was elected, and who will
vote for Mr. Pritchard, goldite,
candidate for the Senate, whereas
Mr. M:-ore would have voted for
a free s..ver man. The Jackson
Populist: are evidently followers,
of the simiable and urbane Pro-
gressive Farmer, which some
time ago declared that it would
rather wait twenty years for free
silver than to get itthrough Dem-
ooratic channels."Charlotte Ob-

pay over to those you owe, If you
cannot pay, renew your notes every

Go to business diligently, and be in-

economical in all things; discard all

by regular and hearty prayer morning
and night; attend church Sunday, and
do unto all men as you would they

oIf you are too needy in circum"
