Dear Sirs It is probable that
vou have already heard that 1 am
« candidate for the office of Judge
of the County Court. This isa
busy season of the year, and it will
be impossible for me to see cvery
voter in person. So I take this
method of announcing my candi
dacy to you and asking your sup
port.
A great many people think that
a lawyer ought to be judge of the
county court. This court is grow
ing in importance and business
every year, and now tries more
cases than the Superior Court. If
@ question arises asto what disease
a man 1s suffering with, we natur
ally go to a doctor. Upon the
same idea, it would seem, that
when questions of law are to be
decided we ought to have alawyer
to decide them, No matter how
honest and conscientious a man
may be he cannot decide questions
of law correctly without a knowl
edge of the law, and the knowl
edge can only be acquired as the
result of years of study and prac
tice,
I have practiced law for ten
vears, For the past two years |
have Dbeen Solicitor of the County
Court. [ have tried faithfully and
conscientiously to perform my
daties as solicitor. PPeople who
take an interest in and have had
cases in this court have been kind
eaough to say that I make a good
solicitor. [ pledge the people, it
clected, to make a better judge;
for my experience as solicitor
necessarily qualifies me better to
perform the duties of judge,
A public office is a public trust,
and the people are the beneficia
ries of that trust. 1 think we will
all agree that the question to be
decided in determining for whom
we will vote to fill a public office
ought to be, NOT WHO NEEDS
THE OFFICE MOST, BUT
WHOM DOES THE OFFICE
NEED THE MOST. Andthere
can be no doubt that the office
needs the man best qualified to fill
it. Upon this platform I submit
my candidacy to®your careful con
sideration, and if you think 1 am
the bost qualified man iathe race,
I will appreciate your vote and in
fiuence. In return therefor, I
tender my warm personal thanks
and my promise to give you an
administration of our county ccurt
that will be vigorous, prompt, im
partial and a saving both of the
time of the people and the money
of the tax-payers,
Very respecttully,

gressman does in the premises is
to vote the appropriation and fur
nish the names to which packages
are to be sent. The performance
does not aost the M., C, a cent,
and he does not even address a
single package.- AW the work is
done by hired clerks whose sala
ries are paid out of the public
moneys, These seeds are furnish
ed by contractors who find this a
profitable way to get rid of damag
ed, mixed or otherwise unsalable
sceds at the price of good, fresh
seeds. The government has al
ready suits in the courts against
sced contractors for furnishing
fraudulent goods last year, How
ever, these teeds are as' good
as could be expected, when
we remember that the members
of Congress vote the neccssary
appropriation for private political
purposes, under the impression
that the voters will not know the
difference beween Congressional
seeds and good fresh sceds bought
from respectable seed dealers,
and will imagine that the voters
will think their Congressman is a
very clever fellow to go to somuch
trouble and expense in remember

One Million Dollars A Day.
According to a report from the
department of Labor and Com
merce, the exports of cotton for
the mopth of November Ilast
averged 82 000,000 a day. This
was exceptionally large, but the
report shows that the value of cot
ton exports averages $1,000,000
for each business day of the year.
This is the contribution which
{the South makes to the aggregate
wealth of the country. Itis real
ly an immense additiont to nation
al prosperity, but our section does
not get the benefit from it that it
should. Itis true that most of
the money comes to ' the South,
but it is equally true that maost of
it goes away, and thus our people
fail to profit by it as they should.
Think of the enormous wealth we
would have if we manufactured a
large part of the cotton crop and
thus doubled or trebled its value,
Or, thing how rich we would be if
the cotton money did not have to
be sent off to buy the necessaries
of life with. The reflection is
simply dazzling.
The truth is that the South is
largely the tenant of the country
and the laborer for the restof the
world. We grow a staple which
exceeds in value any' other agri
cultural product exported from
the United States, and we spend
most of the money for something
to eat, drink and wear. If the
half of that cotton could be manu
factured here, we would be the
richest section of the Union, The
half of that million dollars a day,
if kept at home, would make the
south the most independent of all
countries, Why not raise our
own food supplies, and make our
own cloth and thread? Why be
longer hewers of wood and draw
ers of water for all creation? We
have a good climate, unlimited
motive power, and can do own
manufacturing, We have fertile
lands enough to raise our own
supplies and ought to do it, Is it
not time to strike for economic in
dependence. —Montgomery Ad

to work wonders on the old red!
hills of Georgia when it comes in

work on steep hill sides and will
throw the dirt the same way going
in either «direction. Hence it is
called the reversible plow. |
The French railway companies
have issued to all stations an album
which contains pictures of every
possible article that a traveler is
likely to have about him. Owing
to the great number of passengers
who are unable to speak French it
is often found difficult to trace lost
articles from the description given.
Now all that a passenger has to do
is to point to the missing article in
the album. i

dry goods merchant of New York,
