We Lai occasion s-everai times to point out the lendency to extend Ihe inactions of the Government beyond legitimate limits, and we have calied attention to the fact that there seems to be a feeling now <hat every f.la.^s is iGstiPcd in ^retting: all it can out of the public treasury. The tendency is to regard th<* treasury- as a kind of "grab bag." Ex-Secretary -?f Agriculture J. Sterling Morton in the Forum 'or this month discusses the necessity tor retrenchment in expenditures, not on!y in the Federal Government, but in municipal and Slate all'airs. Mr. Morton is entitled to spe*:: on the fuojVct. He is no-. -ia-p-y ;; i'aecretical believer in economr in public affairs, but his administration r-f his department showed that !.c kne- how to practice what he advc-cates. fie returned to the treasury over .$2wv%000 appropriated for his n?e as Secretary of Agriculture. He thicks that it is time for a change, lor it is retrenchment,?or Ruin. Mr. Morton begins his very instructive article by referring to some very primary principles. "The natuv .1 right? of a person are: life, liberty. id the privilege of owning and cont' o);:ng his lawful accumulation?/'and ~e therefore very logically concludes ? " ??.U? , ?/-, lave nnfi(>5 <!T!r1 tt;c i;vnu iu collect taxes was vested in this democratic form of government for the sole virpose of raising revenues to proteci the life, liberty, and property of each of its citizens," ';nu "it never was in:ei.ded that the legislative branch ol ihe Government should impose taxation upon ail to enrich a few." These c.rc simple principles, but somehow ouifCongressmen seem to have for;roiten them. Taxation should be designed to iraise revenue for the pur pose of paying the actual expenses of the Government. All are taxed for this purpose, and it is taking awaj ihe rights of individuals to tax all tc iili the pockoJs of a few. Or as Mr, Morton pats it: J,The multitude oi voting met- :a the United States nevei intentional1/ cast ballots in favor ol taxing ali of themselves, either di rectly or indirectly, for the purpose of putting money into the pockets o: a few of themselves. Nor did thej ever by vote doclare in favor of taking me puono domain away iruiu im people for the purpose of donating ii to corporation? or bestowing it as s gratuity in single tracts upon individuals. Xor ".;as the American ballot ever approved the raising of money from the people of all the States to improve alleged rivers and harbors?of a . purely local utility? for the benelu of a relatively lew ciiizens in single States/'* "T'no riov rf ve>frpn^hmpnf'- nr thf day of rain, for the Government is awaiting the people of the United States in the not remote future," is the strong languai-o used by Mr, Morton in his exeesdingly thoughtful discussion of public expenditures. If is lime to return to "the ancient faitb. that the sole business of Government is to pro'.ect life, liberty and property", and ;cspurn tbo doctrines of commui-isrn. v;iiich would have the Government oo everything for everybody The tendency '* wards "de-individual ism'-" snjrua uo cnec&en. The figures showing tbe increase oi expenditure? year after year should be kept st all limes before tbe people. As population increases., it would seem iLut tie expenditures of maintaining the government should decrease j-er capita iustead of increasing. With a population in 1S40 of 17,009,453, the net ordinary expenditure* ~cre $24,149,020, or $1.41 per o;pi.s, :uu the gross expenditures $2$,220.o3-i, or 81.05 per capita. In J -i0? v.irh a population of 23,191,870, ':.c tie ordinary expenditures were f 10,948.3S3. or $1.77 per capita; .sross exv-.odiiare-C04,71S or $1.92 per capita. In 1800, wi-h a population of 1,443,321, the net ordinary expenditures were $03,200,870, or $2.01 per capita, and gro>> expenditures $77, 055,120 or 2.45 per capita. In 187 U, *Ti;i a population of SS.ddS.o71, net <""diii ry expeii;:'.-ures ?309,653,561 or 68.03, aiid ir;-w-;s expenditures 702,907,843 or $18.23. In 1SS0, with population of 50,155,783, net ordinary cxpendiuires $:.07;042,955 or $5.3-1 per c pita: ^ro?< < xpe::ditares 8700,233,23$ O" 313.9C rc:"cagiia. In 1S90, with a p -pu'atlon 0: 02,022,250, net ordinary o\*pend::Uirc> '$207,736,487 or $4.75 per capita; expenditures G30.247,07s or $10.(J per capita There mi -.; be .?ome reason for this srreat incre:.-e in public expenditures. Accord!io Z\Ir. Morton from 1870 to 1880, the total disbarsemenfs for pensions were ;?020,0$8,179 or 19.09 per c:n: cl the net ordinary expenditure?, not i:ic:u0'::4 premium? or interest. From I -'( to 1890, the to?a! dlsburseinnits * r :.;"n?ion-s were *702,2o2.*J52or oG.i." per cent, of toe net ordinary cxpen^'urcs, not including prcmUiics or iiiiczest- "From July 1, 1S90, to June 30, 139G, the net ordinary expenditures, noi including rr-nnn i" 077 :17rl Ss7." *'fAt ! j liJ ICJL C5L; 7 - this rate of increase/' as Mr. Morton 1 j says, ' 'the net ordinary expenditures jl 1 for the decade ending Jane 00, 1900, < ! would aggregate $3,295,033,145 ? 1 ' nearly as much is for the twenty years 1 i ending June 30, 1890." j Tiik railroads have been raddled by j; the decision of the United S:ates Su- h preme court ?u l.j-j j Freight Association ease. Some of j the traffic associations think the be-t ! plan is to appeal to Congress. The j. people should keep an eye on thenCongressmen. If the decision shall I lead to the breaking up the iru?;s among manufacturers., it would i.?c? v/ell to let jRepressni&tives in Congress > ? I j know that no change is wanted, m tne j law. A conference has been he'd i;i j Xew York attended by eminent c cmrsol j , among them Ex-Minister to England! Phelps and ?x-5>enatcr Edmund?.

Of course, Mr. j Calvo has a right to run his c-\vu j paper to suit himself, but when possible if a speech like Mr. McLaurin's is criticised editorially, it seems fair 1 tbat the speech should be published 1 also. ! MITFORD MURMURS. Kai:) and Bad Koads Trouble her as they do Other Places--Personals. It seems that the editor is getting j Ej rather tired of the correspondents ' mentioning the condition 01 tne roaas. : and rightly too, for it is generally understood that they are not good at ' present. If it continues to rain, the ed'tors of county papers will have to " pass an edict against correspondents mentioning the rain ?it is rather hard to keep silent on a subject that is ' j brought before you as often as that 'lis. Very little corn has been planted so [ far. Some cf the farmers took advantage f of the pleasant fall and did a great deal of, plowing1. The old adage ? "Make hay while the son shines" is c- always a srood rale to follow in regard to farming. There is to be an entertainment at f the Mitford school on the 21st.

Though we have only had three days' visit from "the month ot smiles and tears7' during (his time, April has been verylavish with her "tear?," but not so > with her "smile?," for we have had very little sunshine between the showers. : Gardens have made but little pro, grcss since our last report.

It is feared that the fruit crop is greatly cut ofl, peach and pear trees being in bloo.a before the late frosts. Roads continue in a very bad condition.

Ho Pays it is time 2iiougo yet. lie irs b;c;: iiving oil the farm for abom tig" or ninety years. lie is one o.-: 1..0 old landmurks of the ante Tjeilum flay?, and ought to know. Last year 2Ji\ Thomas IvcJiey, Jr., ol" Herbert, in Union county, did not do any work at all in his crop until ti.n A ,wii and thp,. made iJ;U *. ^..? cloven bales of cotton and Jiicccn uvohorse loads of corn with one plow, and "fathered the same before (he first oi* December. This may seem unreasonable to some people but it can be verified bv people of unquestionable integrity. There has been a quantity of commercial fertilizers bought, preparatory for a big cotton crop. Some of our farmers have planted most of their upland corn. Mr. Editor, I have for r.f.?..n.oi vftors ImiiArnl fh.-if. thft inten CL. > Ul o ^ ^ sivc system Ol l'araiiug is the more proiltable. Ljt's take an acre of land and see what can be made on it. An acre is two hundred and ten feet square. It planted in corn we woulcJ lay oil the rows four l'eet wide and drop the corn six feet apart, some may say oh! that is too wide, it is not any too wide for ordinarily thin upland. Manured with a small haud lull of stable manure and cotton seed compost to the hiil it will, with favorable seasons, make a gooil ear to every stalk, which would be fifty-two and a hair rows in an acre with thirty-live stalks to ihc row. Xow multiply littytwo aiitl a half by thirty-five and it will give us eighteen hundred and thirty-seven cars cn an acre which would be equivalent to eighteen and a half bushels per acre which would be a good yield lor tl.c lir?t year. It necessarily follows that after we shall have built our land up to a higher state of cultivation we could plant our corn a little thicker i;i the drill. If we plant it fjur loot apart then we i j > m.H vnirrs WUU1U liwl\ U U1U ~l ?? V 4* i.utx A V II V with fifty-two ttalks to ilis row and perhaps with an average of one good ear to each stalk, which wou!cl be fifty two and a half multiplied by fifty-two, which would giv us twentyseven hundred and thirty car.*, cr an average of twenty-seven and a half bushels per acre. It we plant fertile cotton land which would perhaps bear three feet in tlx- drill, then we would have about thirty-six hundred ani seventy f ur stalks on an ac.re ana would.,v.ith favorable seasons mr.ke a good oar to each stalk. Some people who believe in the intensive system ol farming plant too ranch corn 0:1 the land the first year and perhaps put, a greater application of manure than our thin upland can stand, especially if we have a. ten drys or ivro weeics drouth in July. I believe the plan here suggested is practicable. I have learned Irom observation that it will not do to plant c.'-rn too thick 0:1 thin land. It is olfcen planted loo thick on bottom land. Mr. K titer, I have beeu thinking how much cotton could be made 011 an acre it the land was thoroughly prepared and properly cu.Itiva.tcu. out i iiiivs ttut tjiui; ui present to give the plan aim calculation as I have thought it ever and calculated. It is gotting lute and I must retire in order to rise early in the morning and go about the wor'c practically as wel! a? theoretically. So.nc may say it is easier to farm on paper. I am frank to confess ':h.j it is, but it is not half so remunerative. This seems a little out of my line of writing. I most invariably drill oirou politics, but X have tried to steer clear ot them in this short article. Wa can make p'enty of hog and heminv in our county and State, and if we could get ten cents for our cotton it would not be long before the beneficial results would give an impetus to the commercial activity of our southern country which, for skill, perseverance, and industry, is unexcelled by any section of people on the globe. We produce enough wealth to bring our people back to the prosperity they enjoyed in the early part ot the seventies. But neither time or circumstances win permit me to enter into a discussion oJ the causes incident to onr present financial condition. Mr. Editor, ] iike to write but do not have much time. Excuse this short letter aud 3 will perhaps write you a longer one some time in the future. k. n. j. ridge way happenings.

April 1st was a high day at White Oak, tbe occasion being the golden \r Midi no* rpr.rvnfinn of Mr. arirl Mrs. J no. R. Patrick. It was quite a disagreeable day outside, but all was joy and happiness within. The aged couple dispensed a bounteous hospitality to their many guests, snd "all went marry as a marriage bell," jast as if they were young folks again. About one hundred guests were invited and about nicety were present. Mrs. Patrick had so far recovered i from her recent accident as to be able | to Lrrcct her children and friends, and receive the congratulations of the occasion. It was above all things else a:> occasion for thanksgiving to (iod for his many favors to them. They t?:ive always been blessed with an abundance of this world's goods, and have the love and respect of all who know them. The evening of their days is iilled with peace and honor, and they are sustained by the blessings of Him. who has said."Even to old age I ;rn he, and to hoary hairs will I carry you." Seven children have come to th^ir home, and they are all living and were present on this occasion. Their children's children are thirty-two, twenty-six of whom are now living. About one o'clock the guests were a.i asseuiuiea in uie spacious pariur rchere Rev. J. A.'Smith conductcd a.iptopriate religious sen ices, a";d made an address of welcome. The presents were numerous and beautiful. There were three present that deserve special mention, these were the gifts of the children to their parenis. Oae was an elegant breastpin for the mother, which wa? presented by Rev. ' (J. E. McDonald. Another was a gold headed walking car.e presented in a neat s-pecch to Mr. Patrick Oy Rev. J. S.

Mr. Lcitcb Had Good Congregations and Revived a Deeper Interest in Religious J ^VfTctirSf Vi"Editor? At the rcci aest of friends ; I shall attempt to give your readers a | brief account of the revival recently j conducted here by Rev. T. H. Leitch. ' i Mr. Leitch cams on invitation of the I pastor and members of the Methodist j Church and began a series of sermon? j 011 the cveniDg of March loth. Jle . j vras accompanied by his singer, Mr. I Marshal], a man of great power in prayer and giltcd wi th a good voice, I v.oa Vior>n Tvr>n trained. Mr. ; Leitch is a man of striking appearjonce; his magrriftccnt physique, flash! iujf eye, and po?itiveness of characior j proclaim him a born leader of men. Two services were held daily, Sunday excepted; three were held on that d >y. Good congregations greeted the workers at every service and much interest was inan tested from the first. Many, co doubt, went to hear the singing; others to hear what the prcachcr would say, .oi his reputation 1 as a plain talker had preceded him. On:- Baptist and Presbyterian brethren cailcd in their appointments for two I weeks and worshipped with us, and with great ad ventage to themselves, for many of their members were strengthened spiritually and reconsecrated their lives to God's services. Mr. Leitch is a strong- preacher. His sermons are clear, pointed, logical: his delivery good. He evidently believes in illustration. Every strong point in liis sermons was illustrated with a touchiug anecdote or pathetic story, and more than once during the meeting, as the preacher told of the triumphant death of a fallen woman or boy hero, have we seen strong men bow their heads and weep as children. Mr. Leitch labored among us for two weeks, and God blessed bis labors. I ? I causers were cuuvencu aiiu uauc.sliders reclaimed at almost every service. We cannot say how maDy have joined the different churches, for we do know that as a result of the meeting the town of Kidgewav is better oiF spu'iiuaMy than it has been for years, j \ir. Leinh has no salary, and is de- j j pendent for his support ou the free-will i 1 ofljrings of the people. The citizens' I ] I THAT THE ' * fi /TV OTT\/7TTT TJ "/lU-OAimS-E.
