Some years ago inquiries were
sent out as to the best things
which a farmer can attend to to
snake fanning a pleasure and
profit.
A said: “Owner must live on
h«a farm, plow deep, fertilize well,
plant and sow early. Have good
buildingt for owner, tenants and
laborers; sow one-fourth in grain,
one-fourth in grass, one-fourth in
permanent, pasture and one-fourth
m summer crops. Keep well post
ed.”
B said: “Orop well planted is
half made. Kill sprouts, plant
grain in October; spread manure
in December for spring crops.”
C said: “Terrace hillsides, sur
face drain low lands; keep all the
cattle you oan in winter,pen them
every night and spread manure on
the surface of your lan'd. Rotate
crops, cotton, corn, oats, then sow
jpeas. Raise your supplies and
your own stock; let cotton be
your money orop.”
Dsaid: “Let the negroes emi
grate; raise your farmers at home.
Turn out old lands and cultivate
well the remainder.”
E said: “Be a Christian; keep
out of debt; keep books with
yourself; raise your own provis
ions; raise cotton for money
crop.”
Fsaid: “A place for every
thing, everything in its place;
stop leaks; keep up repairs; keep
all the stock that can be kept for
milk, butter and beef. Give ev
erything good attention on the
farm.”
G said: “Southern farmers
should sow grain and grass; grow
everything that family and stock
can eat. Manure crops well, but
let commercial fertilizers go. Do
all you can every year to improve
your land by plowing under grass,
peaB; never sell any cotton seed.”
This is enough for one lesson,
and there is good hard sense all
the way from A to G.
You may have a good cotton
crop, but if you oan grow and sell
butter, buttermilk, sweet milk,
chickens, eggs, hams, sides, sau
sage, souse, lard, pigs, pork, straw-
lierries, peaohes, grapes, apples,
pears, wheat, wheat straw, Hour,
potatoes, sweet and Irish, roast
ing oars, butter beau's, turnips,
onions, squashes, carrots, cab
bage and stove wood,you will find
your small orop is ahead of the
liig cotton crop that is, if
work high-priced free labor,
worry with their absences
hindrances.
The secret of good farming is
to be in time and do the work
well, plant early and work it
well before weeds and grass get a
tffcart.
By sowing rye, barley and
passes at the proper time, to
lOmiish winter pastures, as fine
M.ock can be kept and raised in
Georgia as anywhere in the coun
try, and when we remember the
i§*g;, severe cold winters of the
north and .west, it seems a pity
that .southern farmers, do not ap
preciate the value of our climate.

What a splendid type of tireless
•activity is the.suu as the psalmist
describes it issuing like “a bride
groom from his clmiiiber and re
joicing like a strong man to run a
r ice.” Every man ought to rise
\ u. the morning refreshed by slum
ber and renewed by rest, eager for
whe struggle of the day. But how
rarely this is so. Most people rise
.still unrefreshed, and dreading
fclib strains of the day’s labors.
The cause of this is deficient vi
tality and behind this lies a defi
cient suppv of pure, rich blood.
Audi an inadequate nourishment of
it lie body. There is nothing that
will .give a man strength and eu-
•Oi'gY\ as will Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery. It does this
by increasing the quantity and
quality of the blood supply. This
vitrarishes the nerves, feeds the
brain; builds up enfeebled organs,
nuil gives that sense of strength
and power which makes the strug
gle of life a joy. The “good feel-
rag'” which follows the use of
“Golden Medical Discovery” is
w not due to stimulation as it
ciMa&ains no alcohol, whisky or
other intoxicant. It does not
brace up the body, but builds it
up idto a condition ■ of sound
health.

Mr. Roosevelt Obeys Mark Hanna.
St. Louis Republic.
President. Roosvelt’s declaration
in his Cincinnati speech recently
to the effect that “the trust ques
tion has no connection with the
tariff,” sounds the keynote of the
Republican campaign from this
time forward and calls for the
thoughtful consideration of vot
ers.
It is apparent that the recent
conference between the President
and Senator Hanna and other re
publican leaders who visited Oys
ter Bay for that purpose has re
sulted in the, triumph of Hanna’s
high .tariff views. The Republi
can party will stand stubbornly
firm in defense of Dingleyism,
despite the popular sentiment for
a modification of the Dingley
schedules. Its speakers, with Mr.
Roosevelt in the van, will answer
the people’s demand for tariff re
vision by claiming that tariff re
vision offers no remedy for what
ever evil exists in the trust sys
tem. They will hold out the un
substantial promise of Govern
ment control of the trusts in
stead.
The voters at the polls must
make answer to this Republican
contention. It is a plain and
simple task. They have learned
by bitter experience that the pro
scriptive Diugley tariff created
the trust evil. They know that
the great majority of monopoly
trusts are maintained by this tar
iff in the enjoyment of their op
pressive monopolies. They know
that there is no exouse for the
“protection” of these multimil
lionaire combines that are now
underselling European competi
tors in all European markets.They
have seen, tnat tli© moat certain,
result of destroying competition
in American markets is tliof
Amorioan consumers are compell
ed to pay more for the produots
of the American trusts than for
eigners pay for those produots in
foreign markets.
The President does not app ' • 1
to the intelligence of Ameri -1
voters with the arguments f >u
in his Cincinnati speech. He \'i*
suits that intelligence instead
The Republican position as dic
tated by Mark Hanna and now
assumed by the President is di
rectly antagonistic to the peo
ple’s interest. The people’s ac
tion at the polls in Nov. should be
in accordance with this truth.
When A Clock Stops.
“Ever hoar a clock stop in the
middle of the night?” said the
retired burglar, according to the
New York Sun. “I did, once,and
I never was much more scared by
anything, for a minute, in my
life.
“I’d just picked up a watch
that was layin’ on the top of a
bureau in a house that I was in
when all of a sudden there seemed
to drop right down, somehow, a
stillness that was like death; and
I found myself standing there
holding that watch and looking
around in the dark in all direc
tions expeoting something terri
ble to happen; and scared?
“Why, for a minute I was scar
ed almost out of my senses. And
then all of a sudden it struck me
that a clock that I’d been hearing
ticking away good and strong up to
that minute in the room back of
the one I was in had ceased tick
ing-
“That’s all, but that was
enough,for me, and I just slid
out.
“I like a quiet house, but I
don’t like one with that kind pf
stillness in it; and then, some
times folks are woke up by a clock
stopping just about as quick as-
they would be by the firing of a
gun.”
His Life In Peril.
“I just seemed to have gone all
|o pieces,” writes‘Alfred Bee, of
Welfare, Tex., billiousness and a
lame back had made life a bur
den. I couldn’t eat or sleep and
felt almost too worn out to work
when I began to use Electric Bit
ters, but they worked wonders.
Now I sleep like a top, oan eat
anything, have gained in strength
and enjoy hard work.” They

to weak, sickly, run-down people.

Democratic Conclusions.
Democrat, In Atlanta Constitution.
At a notable politico-social
function held not long since in
New York, the national democra
cy was edified by an utterance of
its Profound Oraole. No doubt,
the detached wing of the party in
the plutocratic fold accepted those
generalizations and insinuations
as inspired wisdom, but 'no demo
crats who voted their party ticket
in 1896 and 1900 recognized iu
the pompus deliverance a light to
their stumbling feet. They know
the prophet is happily “stuffed”
and on the party’s taxidermic
shelf.
These commercial politicans
have not tire wit to understand
that the new democracy is the in
evitable result of evolution be
cause of changed conditions. The
conditions that made it possible
to elect Tilden president are gone
forever. That cheated result was
the sane reaction from the Mdxi-
oanization of our politics by the
republican party. The people had
wearied of generals in civil leader
ship, and of the spoliation of the
south. The subsequent election
of Cleveland to two terms as pres
ident was effected by a revulsion
of public sentiment on the tariff
issue. This revulsion was as nat
ural as the other.
The tariff is by no means a dead
issue, particularly as affecting
the trusts, but it has been large:
ly superseded by graver issues.Mr.
Cleveland was ever smaller than
his party. With other leaders of
the conventional type, he was not
great enough to comprehend the
power and manifest destiny of de
mocracy. The leaders who, by
their very lives and affinities,
stand for all tnat democracy
abominates, are discredited in ad*
vance when they raise a hollow
and hypocritical shibboleth of
popular rights. Such leader
ship has been permanently repud
iated.
Like these whilom leaders,there
'•nl \ handful of very substantial
.jM tzons in most urban communi-
: i 4 who ding to the name with-
§U appreciating the basic princi
ples of democracy. Every pro-
'gressive city of the south has a
^prosperity” drunk business co
terie that have secretly apostatiz
ed to their traditional party ene
my. At heart they know them
selves to be imperialistic expan
sionists, believers in a strong ar
my and navy, winkers at injunc
tions and bayonets to overawe a
strike, protectionists, centraliza-
tionists, trust apoiogists, or in a
word, republicans. Knowing the
pecular political status of these
very excellent gentlemen, the re
publican party has religated the
negro tp a humble seat in the ves
tibule and will invite lily white
recruits in the south. The over
whelming local democratic senti
ment is against the viewpoint ' of
these men. Will they go to the
republicans?
Mr. Bryan in a recent speech on
the trusts, said: “I tell you one
trust magnate in stripes, behind
the prison walls, would do more
to break up trusts than all the
speeches the President can make.
The constitutional amendment
the Republicans are talking about
is not meant for the regulation of
trusts, but to take the power to
control trusts away from the
states and so proteot the trusts,”
