It Ls the same old cry of soing to the deinnition bow wows we hear from our friends, the Hepubliians. Where is there a state comparing itself with itself that has made such a thovini as this shite has made? It is no long er the "Rip Van Winkle" State. Xo one anywhere refers to it now that way. The improvi nient iadustrial';. and in education ami othcrwi.-. has b en made under Democratic rale There are those who seek to Ii.-rupi the Dcr.ocratic party but tluy v:..i not do it. TI1K I.EVKI!

THE CRIME OE THE ACES No mar. can toil the end of the t'.v.y of wrath which seems to involve all of Europe. The thundering' uns along the Danube and the Rhir.e in stead of being the signs for a short flurry in which Germany would be tpankodbefore breakfast, appears to be as the weeks go by the signal for a long drawn out European war which Mill in ail probability change the map of Europe, overthrow dynasties and establish on their ruins the flags of freedom. In the end the proud Ger man empire will be humbled, but on ly after a long drawn out struggle, as it now looks, and a great republic established where the people will rule. The autocrat of Russia may not be dethroned now, but there will be an upheaval when education becomes more generally diffused, in which the people will rule even in Russia. It may not be in our day but it will be in God's day and that in the no dis tant future, as the signs of the times now indicate. In the upheaval the people of England and France will be with those who are for liberty and freedom, in the overthrow of the Rus sian empire, for the English and French love liberty. France has a re publican form of government while England has a constitution and a law making body amenab'e to the people The day is not far distant when those who claim to rule '"by divine light" will be dethroned. Race hat- V red of centuries is encouraged by kings and potentates whose dynasties depend upon hatred an.l lack of enlightened se'f interest. It is true the German and Slav races are foreign and antagnostic, but it is war party which expects to profit po litically and financially that is encour aging this world war, as well as most of the wars of history. Servia, Bui garia, Roumania, Montenego are the ' Balkan states and they together with Russia are what are known as Slavic nations. It is true that two-fifths of Vio nonnlo nf Ainitrin-Hiinirnrv nrolhuman mind is stflfcprpd nt tVio .In, Slavs. I This is a general European war and ! was set in motion by a spark. A Ser - vian school boy shot down the Crown Prince of Austria and Europe was set on fire. The great navies went forth to battle and to mix the blood of man with the waters that cover the sea. and the great armies began to mobil ize and the tramp, tramp of soldiers covered a continent. The Courier is not an authority on war or statecraft but has ever con tended against the correctness of the idea that to prevent war we should prepare for it. Keeping vast armies and navies ready for battle is not the way to promote peace according to our conception of matters and things of this kind. ' Ex-President Roosevelt entertains that viow as do many others. Look at events transpiring in Europe and you will see the results of large standing , armies and navies. The Rough Rider, and thosf who believe with him are greatly discredited by the turn affairs have taken across the water. You THE REPUBLICAN PARTY (From Everythiner.) The Republican party in North Car olina lias practically played out mere was a nope that at the state Convention in Raleigh there would be a piand rally; hoped that the hatchet would b? buried; hoped that those who had wandered from the fold would come m at least under a flag of uuce ano asK to ue torgiven or pro pose to forgive. Hut it didn't happen. Not over 250 delegates were present some said but 1S0 but that wasn't enough. In a state which not long- a so cast near !y 100.000 votes; in a ?tate which has intimated that many of its Democrat ic voters believed in tariii'; in a stat unere tile dominant euitv .'lands indirted for lack of Imsm-vs methods and has run the state into debt almost SI, 000,000 for ciiiient expenses that handful of men did not measure up to wnat m ig.it iiave been expected. The Dull Moose party did not rally the crowd, either. The Republicans are distrusted. They ;;r; not taking part. Iliey aie wning to wait and see but they are nut in evidence.

Shortly after dusk hundreds f visitors from the Palmetto state gathered on the street and to music of a brass band marched with torches terouyli the city. W. D. Uryan. of Williamsburg county, president of the local South Carolina Club, the insti gator of the parade, told the crowd the purpose of the meeting, declaring tivn it was an experience and love east meeting to celebrate the great s', victory of the ballot since the days ot iG. might as well arm everybody with a pistol and say it is neccsary in this civilized land for everybody to carry .urns in order to promote peace. Where the law is enforced against the carying of concealed weapons crime if nothing like so prevalent as in com munities where there is a laxity in the enforcement of the laws against the carrying of concealed weapons. Andrew Carnegie puts it strong in the following statement which he makes in oposition to war: Peace and War. We are marching fast to that day through the reign of law un der which civilized people are compelled to live. No citizen of a civilized nation is permitted to day to wage war against his fellow-citizen or to redress his own wrongs, fancied or real. Even if insulted, he can legally use force only to protect himself; then the law steps in and ; '.ministers punishment to the aggressor based on evidence. Na tions being only aggregations of individuals, by the same reason ing, sho '.id r.ot be permitted to vrago war against other nations, when, if all -ere classed as citi zens of one nation, they would be denied this right of war, and would have to subject themselves to the reign of law. It was' Napoleon who said afte be ing banished to St. Helena that all Europe would be either Cossack or republican in government, meaning, of course, that the nations of Europe would all be controlled by an autocrat like the Czar of Russia or that the people would set up republics. The struction that is taking place dailv. Germany ia confronted with a greater army than Napoleon, and while there may be temporary victories for the Kaiser's armies, the Germans are fighting as though their backs were to the wall. The cup of horros is filled to the brim. There are in Europe four hun dred millions of people, one-fourth the population of the world. Twenty mil lion soldiers have gone forth to battle. Women and children are stricken with grief, and the cry that rang through ancient Egypt will soon be heard: "There was not a house where there was not one dead." This is not civil ization. It is savagery. Rulers are appealing to God while they tramp under foot the teachings of Christianity. Human brotherhood is disregared. Military rule takes the place of liberty. This war can appropriately be call ed "The Crime of the Ages." It is to be hoped this will be the last war, but will it be ? Is it not Armogeddon ? SAVE SEED We now see the need of the South ern farmer growing every variety of seed needed on the Southern farm. We habe been depending on Germany :-upp!ying us with crimson clover seed. Ciormany became so interested in her neighbor's affairs the other day that she went over to look after her and forgot to ship us our usual quota of crimson clover seed and now we are ready to plant and for our life we are unable to get Germany to the 'phone to give our order. You remember the old Blue Rack Speller story. As long as the landlord depended on his neigh bors to come and cut his grain the eld bird suffered no uneasiness but as soon as he said, "boys, we'll do the cutting ourselves," the old bird said it was time to move. When we get to growing our own seed, it will not wor ry us if our neighbors' children do get into a scrap. Girls' Poultry Clubs. The Girls' Poultry club, a unique or ganization started by t lie United States department of agriculture for the pur pose of encouraging the poultry indus try of the country. Is making good headway, particularly in the west and middle west. Large organizations have been established in Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska. Utah unci Idaho. C'lul'8 have also been organized in Virginia. West Virginia. Mississippi, North Ctfio liua and South Carolina. The tirst poultry club was organized In Virginia and is flourishing under J. W. Kingliorne. the department's In structor iu the state. The object lu feruling the club was to give u better knowledge of the value and importance of poultry raising and the marUetini; of a first class uniform product and to teach better methods for the caring of poultry and eggs; also to show the in creased revenue to be derived from well bred poultry where proper meth ods of management are pursued. There is a four year course mapped out by the founders, starting with the setting of tiiteeii eggs as a milt for the year's wr!; and concluding with a pou of fifty chicken--, foit.v-s.ix cf which are hens ana given for the number of In erels niarliet and oquipuie, eminent an most prolie: ! the nature f.i.u i c"ist -is.

Chamberlain of the Roches ter, N. Y., bar, in the August Case and Comment, sacrificed all he pos sessed to meet the demands of his creditors. In 1884, the firm of which ne was president ana which was m ganized to publish hte works, madel an asignment ror the benefit of its creditors. Twain could have taken refuge in his wife's fortune upon which the law had no claim. She however, shared his misfortune and stood with "him penniless. His reply to an insinuation that he was about to take an unfair advantage of hit cred PRACTICAL TALKS BY GOVERNMENT FARMJXPERTS No. VI. Advice to Millers. Humane Slaughtering. Poultry Accounting. If (Official News Summary of Up to Oat Matters Compiled by the United States Department of Agriculture.) UK farmer tins long relied on the cbeiulst in regard to bu tuiin food, fertilizer aud feed ing UU cuttle. The miller. according to tlie bureau of chemistry, iiin:irtnn'iit of nirrkulture. lias been behind other industries in puttius the cbt iiiist i t work. I The small miller enn often attend to his machinery and, Iu addition, make bnkinsr ai.d other tests, but in the lar- -or mills, which manufacture a .variety of products and prepare mixed feeds, there should be a division of labor, the miller and the chemist each doing his share of the work. The moisture content of flour is a point too little considered, according to the department. If i" buying and sellins Kralii the moisture is tnkeo Into account, as it should bo by sound busiucss men. the moisture in flour and meal as well as in the byproducts should also be Kiven suitable attention. Tlie variation of a per cent of mois ture in the Hour of the bij; mill is equivalent lu n year to thousands of barrels and thousands of dollars. The moisture coutent wld be one of preat importance u year hence. It Is contended by some of our leading millers that in ludsinff as to short age In weight the government should always take into account the mois ture content. For example, If flour contains when shipped 13j per cent of moisture, which bas been accept ed as the standard, and If the sam ple shows but 11 per cent of moisture when examined an allowance of 2V4 per cent shortage in weight should be allowed. Experiments nre now In progress as to the shrinkage In flour as cuused by loss of moisture. The amount of moisture in meal is of eveu greater Importance than In flour, because moisture Is not only commercially valueless and Influences shrinkage, but also because It Is an Important factor in causing spoilage. It is therefore specially desirable that the chemist aid the miller In drying to the proper degree. Poultry Accounting. The department of agriculture has Issued a system of poultry accounting which. It is expected, will assist the poultry owner to determine the status of his flock at the end of each year. One of the greatest ueeda of most poul try keepers Is a definite record of ex penditures and receipts. A system formulated by the depart ment consists of n monthly and yearly summary, inventory, balauce sheets and yearly record. On the monthly sheet is placed the number of chick ens and eg.s for each month lu the year. Al! eggs and chickens used at borne should be credited to the flock at regular market value, aud eggs used for hatching tit home should be both credited and debited against the flock at the same price The labor of the owner should be estimated and charg ed against the flock each month If de sired. The balance tit the end of the year will then show the net profit of the flock. The yearly summary sheet consists of the summary of the month ly totals of expenditures and receipts for the year. The Inventory sheet should be used at the beginning of each yenr. and a complete Inventory should he taken of the equipment, stock, feed, etc. Each piece of equip ment should be listed nt Its actual value. Id the case of buildings which are substantially constructed a 6 per cent deterioration should be sufficient to allow for the passage of a year's time. The balance sheet shows the actual status of the Hock for the year. It will be found desirable to keep a sim ple egg record' for the year In connec tion with the account, as it will enable the poultry keeper to check up the number of eggs used at borne and thus b sure to credit the flock with them. ttors was: "The law recognizes no mortgage upon a man's brain, and a merchant who has given up all he has may take advantage of the law of insolvency and start free again for himself; but I am not a busines man, and honor is a harder Master than the daw. It cannot compromise for less than a hundred cents on the dol lar." The great parallel case to Twain's was that of Sir Walter Scott, who lost his all through the failure of his prin ters, the Ballantynes. .In two years however, he earned for his creditors nearly 40,000.
