It is wrong to ask the people to ac cept or vote for a special increase of taxes upon themselves in order to have four months public t schools, when by the Constitution they have a right to four months public schools ; without a special increase of taxes. It is worse than wrong ; it approaches outrage. , If a special tax be necessary in or der to make appropriations, after the Constitution has been complied with, 'let this tax stand . on its own merits ; not' on the public schools ; not on the Constitution.

The legislature meets January 6th, and Mr. Hyams, a brother-in law of the senator, who will have charge of his campaign, has already opened head quarter at the Sate capiatal. The alleged agreement of Butler A Report That. Mr., Oln-y ana '.Senor de Lome Have Practically Finished Negoti atlons. "It is learned rom an authorita tive source that Secretary Olney and Senor Dupuy de Lome, the Spanish minister, have practically terminated negotiations on thevCuban question, which are to be submitted to Con gress when it convenes, January 5. The terms of the agreement are based on the recent official communication from Premier Conovas, addressed to the Secretrry of State. "The Premier clearly states , the terms which Spain will accord to the insurgents and practically asks the United States to propose these condi tions to her rebellious subiects. In return for our good offices Spain as sures this government that she sin cerely deplores the great commercial loss which we have sustained on ac count of the Cuban disturbance. She assures us that she is even now con sidering a reciprocity . treaty which will deal mainly with Cuban products and which will be framed in such ad vantageous terms towards this gov ernment that our losses both in com merce and destruction to American property, in Cuba will be generously compensated. "Premier Canovas says that Spain cainbt, of course, as a self-respecting and respected nation, stand before the world as having been coerced into measures by the United States. She has freely granted all that she now offers, and that in the face of a rebel lion. She accepts the good offices of the United States to act as medi ator and to guarantee to the insur gents amnesty and the enforcement of a new reform law which she is about server. There is nothing ti bring a blush of surprise to the chec of bimetallists in the news from Ca . ton. ; lit seems that Ssnator Wolcoti of Colorado called upon the Pre: ident-elect and learned that he favored the project of an international conference ldoking to bimetallism, and was "determined that the promises made to the people to that effect in the Republican plat form shall be carried put." As we say, this is hot surprising, for it was generally understood during the cam paign that Major McKinley was a gold man for vot getting -purposes merely, ac4 that, m secret he stood by his record as a silver man. But the information that we are likely to have an international confer ehca, if not surprising, is highly grat ifying to all tliose who jhave the in terests of the people at I earl. If we cannot secure indepenc ent bimetal lism, which would be a gpdd thing, for four years to come, that is no rea son why we should not strive foi international which would be a better there is a prospect of securing that We may have our doubts about the possibility of success,! but we should not cease working for it until every resource has been exhaasted and we know absolutely that shecesss is im possible. It is the duty of all birnetallists "I will put one of these walnuts in- ; my pocket," said a gentleman who was sitting beside at dinner the other day. Ke. seemed to think an expla nation was necessary, arid so he ad ded, "I carry a walnut about in ' my pocket, to. prevent my rheumatism." I had heard ot a great many queer cures for rheumatism, but here was a brand new one, a walnut ! I know a gentleman who carries a small potato in his pooket as a prer ventative of rheumatism. He .says that he does not know whether if is a foolish thing or not, but on several occasions when he left his potato at home he really felt twinges of rheu matism. In New England many folk'used to tie a snake-skin around the neck for "rheu-maticks while in Georgia and generally through the South, the negroes, .arid even the whites -carry the right fore-foor of a rabbit to ward off attacks of rheumatism. ' All this passed, through my mind while I re plied, in tones of curiosity, "A -walnut?" : . :--: ,. ' "Yes. It is also a cure for tooth ache. I first heard ot the cure in the country, where it was known to work. I teU you there is really something in it.' ,.:..c"V.:- Indeed, there is mere in walnut lore than is dream tof in my neigh bor's philosophy.

" The question of cotton-seed hulls and meal for stock feeding has re ceived attention from the North Car olina Experiment Station -since 1888, when it was proved that .cotton-seed hulls and meal without any other food were a profitable ration for fattening beef for market.: A recent bulletin published (No; 11S) npon this subject includes digestibility of several rations with different praportions of hulls and meal, even as close as xA oi hulls That the reckless haste with which railway construction was pushed a few years ago has little prospect of resumption has been pretty thorough ly demonstrated in the experience of the last nine years. 1 1 was pushed so fast and so far as to bring ruin to stockholders, and although it contrib uted largely to the settlement of lands in the West, it deranged the agricul tural industry of the whole Country One of its far-reaching effects was the chronic discontent of the farmers, which has been, and still is. a mater ial factor in State and national poli tics. " V '- - According to the Railway Age, of Chicago, the amouct of new 'steam railway track hid in the United States in 1896 approximated i,So2 miles, just one mile less than that of 1895. The South ,v as a a whole, con tributed 550 miles, while New" Eng land built only 30 miles, all in Maine and Vermont. California leads oft with 1 86 miles. The next largest contributor is Louisiana, with 154 miles, while Michigan takes third ; place with 140 miles. Those three are the only States showing more than 100 miles New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Con- necticut, Nebraska, bouth Dakota, Wyoming, Nevada, Idaho, Arizona, and '.New-Mexico had no railroad ex tension, and only one mile was built in Kantas and five in Iowa! The output of locomotives for 1 896 is reported by the" Railroad Gazette, of New York, to have been larger than that of 1895 or 1894 but not up to the figures of: previous years. It states that the number of new loco motives built by the' various contract ing shops is 1,175 for 1896, this com pares with' 1,101 in 1895, 695 in I894, 2,011 ip 1893,2,012 in 1892, and 2,165 in 1891. In 1894 only 80 locomotives were built for export, but in 1896 the number was 309, or more than 26 perjeent. of the . entire output. And this is a branch of trade that can, and we have no doubt will be greatly extended.Post. without distinction of pplitipal party;! and 1 of meal.

Dr. Alderman has been in charge of the State University since August 15th, but his forjnal inauguration as president will not take place until January 27 th,, wen that occasion will be made a function of more than or dinary interest and ' .impressiveness. Judge Russell, who is a University alumnus, will iaduct the npw" presi dent into office. An elaborate pro gram has been a ranged for the event, and a large attendance of the alumni and friends of tile University are ex pected to be present. !

It cannot be expected in practice " that this result wonld be obtained, because there will necessarily be loss in man agement and handling of the manure: As is the custom of the Experi ment Station, a summary of the re sults written in plain, untechnical language is given, in which only the detailfd methods and artnal , results - V j Augusta Chronicle are given, so .that any one can study j &. the progress of the experiments in the detailed methods used to secure the results.

It is not a new story, but until its truth is fully realized and acted .upon it cannot be told too olten to the farmers of the South that their road to independence is through the practice of raising their own food sup plies. Make at home the things necessary for the support .of the peo ple and animals oh the farm may well be called the farmer's golden rule. It is a gratifying fact that many of pur farmers in Georgia and Carolina have accepted the repeated admonitions of the press along this line, and the supply of foodstuffs that is raised in thesejstates grows -larger annually. Our farmers buy less corn and meat than ever before. Let them produce their own wheat, raise their mules, horses, cows, hogs and sheep, and pay more attention to the garden, -dairy and poultry yard, and they will live better and have more money at the end cf fhe year. Give the food crops first place in your Jcalcula tions, and then raise cotton as a sur plus money crop. When ; this is done the southern farmer will be the most independent man in America. f timils slgutor Cf : ,. Dr. Shields, an eminent physician of Tennessee, savs : I regard . Ayer's .
