A Word With The Farmers. t 1 ' A- - • r ~>*y V Atlanta Journal. m W' 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. --Atlanta Journal. — — 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. you and and Subscribe for The Home Journal. 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 give vigorus Health and new life to weak, sickly, run-down people. Try tljem.

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,” — When you spend a dollar with the home merchant or printer, you are doing something for the good of your town and you a4d to your own prosperity—for you keep your money at home, where you have a chance to get hold of it again.
