DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES. j |
I
Chairman duBignon, of the State Democratic j
Central Committee, is Hard at Work,
Sending Out Instructions to the
County Committees.
THE FORM OF TICKET TO BE USED.
( < Dear Sir—-The democratic state
executive committee has called two
conventions, one to meet June 29,
1898, to nominate candidates for
governor, secretary of state, comp
troller general, commissioner of ag
rieulture, state school commission
er, attorney general, prison com
missioner and state treasurer; the
other to meet July 20, 1898, to
nominate candidates for a chief jus
tice of the supreme court, an asso
eiate justice for full term of six
years, and another associate justice
for the unexpired term of Justice
Atkinson, viz, two years. There
are under the call of executive com¬
mittee, to be two distinct primaries,
one June 6th for governor and state
house officers not judicial; the oth¬
er June 23d for supreme court jus
• tices only.
“At each primary the voters will
cast their ballots directly for the
candidates of their choice for the
various offices to be filled, and the
county democratic executive com¬
mittee are to appoint the delegates
to the two state conventions, res¬
pectfully, from among the friends
of the successful candidates.
“Your attention is called to the
fact that the three places to be fill¬
ed in the supreme court are separate
and distinct offices, as above indica¬
ted, and the ballots for these places
should be prepared accordingly. I
send you inclosed a correct form of
ballot for each of the primaries,
leaving blank lines for the candi
dates’ names.
“Permit me to suggest that for
the general information of voters
you request the party papers pub
lushed , . county to print . this . .

People who fail to look after their
health are like the carpenter who neg¬

soon enough. If you are not quite well

it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too
frequent desire to urinate, scanty supply,
pain or dull ache in the back isalso con
vincing proof that the kidneys and

TLAN IS NOT PROFITABLE
The Danger of Plowing Over More
Land Tliun You Can Cultivate
'I liorougli ly—Deep Preparation Ena¬
bles Crops to Euccofsiully Desist
Drouth.
Department of Agriculture,
Atlanta, April 1, 1898.
eon’t try to cultivate too much
1 AND.
The exceptionally dry and open win¬
ter has enabled industrious farmers in
all sections to be well advanced with
their work. For this reason, some may
have been tempted to plow over more
land than they will he able to thor¬
oughly cultivate during the coming sea¬
son. To the se we would say, repair this
error light now—don’t wait until you
ire overcropped and struggling vainly
against grass and accumulated work
and worry to find tut your mistake. It
is better to abandon part of the land,
even after it is planted, and bring the
remainder to the highest point of culti¬
vation than to endanger the entire crop
by a too large area, which must be hur¬
riedly and imperfectly able cultivated. A
farmer should be to get around his
■lops at least every ten days or two
weeks, a longer interval than this means
risk and often irreparable injury. April
has become the great cotton planting
month in Georgia. Of late years the
planting of this crop has been gradually
delayed from a later to a later date.
Farmers are beginning to more fully
realize the importance of thorough pre¬
paration, and that any reasonable delay
in planting is more than atoned for by
putting the land in firstclass condition
ior the reception of the seed. Of two
crops, the one planted early and hur¬
riedly on imperfectly prepared land, and
tiie other later, 011 land more completely
mil carelully plowed and fertized, ii
will be found, as the season pro¬
gresses, that the crop on the well pre¬
pared land, other conditions being
equal, will attain to more satis ac
tory and perfect development and
also that its proper cultivation is more
easily managed. O 11 the land where the
farmer has trusted to subsequent culti¬
vation to correct the mistakes uud shoit
comings of hasty preparation the condi¬
tions will be found far from satisfactory.
Of 011 c fact the farmers should be thor¬
oughly convinced, ami that is that no
amount of after cultivation will ever
atone rough, for ill conditioned the planting land. of a Our crop lands, on
as a rule, do not receive the careful
preparation which will insure their
greatest yield, and this neglect is the
main cause of short crops, as well as of
innumerable harrassing and retarding
experiences during the period of cul¬
tivation.
THE LACK OF TIIE USUAL RAINFALL
furnishes another argument for the
thorough preparation iuuumeiable of the laud. We
could cite instances coming
under our observation when- thorough
and deep plowing planted, and have subsoiling, enabled before
the crop was it to
survive, and even develop dur ng a p:o
traded drouth. There is ij w complaint
from almost all sections of lack of water.
Some farmers, even this 1 a; ly in the
season, are compelled to haul from some
distance nearly all the water needed for
household and farm u-es. Fortunate is
the man who has by deep and thorough
plowing formed a reservoir to catch and
hold such rains as have fallen, to be
ready for the demands of the crops
when the usual summer drouth comes
on. Not only does this careful prepara¬
tion enable him to lay up a supply of
moisture, but the condition of his land
is such tl at he can practice the level
surface tuliure, which is ci needed to lie
the culmination of successful farm¬
ing. This shallow cultivation of well
prepared land, never allowing a
crust to remain long on the surface, not
only keeps down weeds and grass, but
prevents the unnecessary evaporation of
the moisture, which our deep plowing
has enabled us to store up in lower depths
David Dickson, the most successful of
southern fanners, speaking trom his
abundant experience, maintained that
every inch added to the depth of prep¬
aration, largely increased the drouth re¬
sisting powers of the crops grown
on that land, Farmers who have
not exercised the precaution of thor
ough preparation must now take the
chance of injuiy from lack of necessary
moisture. They should counteract these
difficulties as far as possible and cou
serve their limited supply ot moisture
by such shallow cultivate n as the con
ditiou of their land will admit.

Tiie Record Breaking Trips of the Fa¬
mous Old Red Jacket.
In Main0 thfcy dwe ll with pride

Jacket, T , . built , m Rockland ,, , in • , 1853 oro , by „
Deacon George Thomas. The Red ,
°
Jaoket mado the rUU trom NeW
York to Liverpool in . 1.1 days 1 hour
ant ^ 25 minutes in tlie month of
January, 1S54. This was the best
trip up to that time, and it probably
never has been beaten, although a
faster trip, by a few hours, was
claimed for the Boston ship Light¬
ning. When the Red Jacket started
on her trip, the record was held by
the ship Sovereign of the Seas, built
in East Boston by Donald McKay—
13 days 19 hours.
The Red Jacket was 234 feet keel I
44 feet 7 inches beam, 16 feet lower
hold, 8 leet between dec ks, 225 feet
over all and measured 2,500 tons,
making her the largest ship afloat
at that time. There was great ex
citement, both in New A ork and in
Liverpool, over the first trip of the
Red Jacket, for it was known all
over the maritime world that she
had been built expressly to beat the
record of the Sovereign of the Seas.
She was also to set a mark for the
Live Yankee, a ship built at Rock¬
land at about the same time, anil for
several others. Large amounts of
money vveit wagered on the lesult
of her passage.
The Live Yankee had a hard pas
sage and came nowhere near the
Red Jacket’s time.
As illustrating the shrewdness of
Deacon Thomas, it is related that,
hearing that several other builders
were about to construct ships on the
game lines as the Red Jacket, he al¬
tered his molds slightly, putting in
five extra frames amidships, This
probably helped the speed of the
Red Jacket. At any rate, in that
respect she differed from her rivals.
A Rockland man, who was in Liv
erpool when the Red Jacket arrived
there, gives an interesting account
of hep triumphal entry into the
great English seaport. The excite¬
ment was intense—scarcely less
than in New’ Yoik. A day befoie
the Yankee clipper was expected to
arrive tlie American steamer came
in and reported the ship as just
outside, and in a few hours the Red

NEWTON COUNTY HAS DISPENSARY LAW.
The local dispensary law's passed

counties in the state, have been
declared valid and constitutional
by the supreme court in an able de¬

The particular cases decided
were those brought about by an
attack made on the dispensary
laws passed in 1897, for the l>ene

but the decision is of great impor¬

In the two counties mentioned
there is an immense negro popula¬

feated several efforts made to place
the counties on a prohibition foot¬

to entirely stop liquor selling in
their countries, the people of many
places appealed to the legislature,

for writs of mandamus to compel m
