Democrats Musfc Q-et Together.
THE PARMER and the INSTITUTE
Congressman Griggs of Georgia in Nqw York
at Democratic Club Meeting to com-
memmorate Jefferson’s|birthday..
“The democratic party has nev-
ev lost an election when united.
We must get together this year. I
promise that all democrats shall
be made to feel welcome in our
father’d house, so long as I may
housekeeper ;every democrat shall
be the equal of all,'from whatever
quarter he. may come and without
regard to previous opinion^. If
we shall stand together a^ we
ought to do,we shall this fall send
a democratic governor to Albany,
and a democratic house of repre
sentatives, to Washington. Either
will be a liappy augury of demo
cratic success in 19,04. This great-
ly to be desired result canhot be
accomplished without many sac
rifices and much <hard work.
Those of us who are charged with
the responsibility of conducting
this campaign pledge the party
faithful service, and in return We.
beg of democrats everywhere to
hold up our hands.
“If we would route the forces of
imperialism, of corruption and of
unequal taxation; if we would de
throne the trusts and re-enthrone
the people; if we would be re
lieved of unjust tariff exaction;if
we would destroy the tyranny of a
congress, which, in its determina
tion to legislate for our insular
possessions regardless of the con
stitution, is a most formidable
menace to free institution at
home;if we would restore a’rigor
ously frugal and simple’ adminisr
tration of government,a truly Jef
fersonian administration, the
democratic party must be placed
again in power. If we would suc
ceed, we must organize. I cry to

you, as from the house tops, we
must organize for a fight all along
the line; we must labor without
ceasing. We must watch and
work as well as pray. Then, on
the 4th day of next November the
sun will look down on a happy and
triumphant democracy. During
the two years to follow we shall
drive home. the gredt truth—
‘Rights of property are best pro
tected when human rights are
most protected.’ Then, girding
our loins for the great battle of
1904, supported by the grand old
democratic war cry of ‘Equal
rights to all, special privileges to
! > itm oUn 11 win in oaI ill
columns to the polls from the
north, the south, the oast and the
west and forever sweep from place
and power the allied forces of
greed, corruption and special
privileges.”
By William P. Perkins, Denver, Mass.
Every farmer, no matter in
what state or what seotion of the
county he may live,should be sure
to attend any farmer’s institute
within his reach. The farmer is
handicapped by the forced isola
tion. of his life, and every oppor
tunity for meeting with ■ his fel
lows should be embraced, even if
it requires some effort and. sacri
fice to accomplish this. A man
can do much solid thinking in sol
itude, but to develop his wits, to
be ready of speech, and to have
the narrowness of his ideas rubbed
out of him, hi needs the intimate
association with other men, the
interchange of thought, the spirit
ed argument with other minds.
The farmer oan profit muoh by
the development of his social life,
for every man is in a natural way
a gregarious animal. He desires
company. This accounts for the
tremendous number of clubs,
lodges, etc., where man is wont to
meet man, The institute, the
grange and other agricultural so
cieties perform the functions of
a farmers’ olub, and should be
patronized liberally by farmers.
In union is strength, and one of
the chief reasons why it is so hard
to get farmers to unite and pull
in unison and harmony is because
of the isolation and independence
of their various lives. Let farm
ers meet oftener, talk things over,
and understand and realize the
actual community of their inter
ests, and much good will result,
The farmers’ institute is growing
ing better and better, more and
more practical every year, and
should receive the support of
every live farmer in this country.
It is the best kind of institution
in which to learn of other farm
ers’ successes and failures,achieve
ments and losses, and conquests
over adverse ciroumstances. The
subject of agriculture is too deep
and broad for any man to know
it all. One must profit by other
men’s experience. It is costly
business to learn everything • by
the light of one’s own individual
experience. How foolish to make
mistake after mistake, costly
blunders that some other man
has made and can warn his fel
lows against. It is the province
of the institute to post farmers on
all practical subjects, to help
them in every reasonable way to
meet the fierce competition of the
the times, to equip them for their
life work.
Dr. W. 0. Stubbs in Southern Farm Magazine
of Baltimore for April.
On the approach of a drouth,
cultivators should be run very
shallow and almost continuously.
By so doing a thin layer of earth
removed from the great rhass of
soil is laid as a mulch on the sur
face, and the continuous upward
"movement of the water through
the soil into-the air is checked
just below the surface, and» the
roots of the plants oan then ap
propriate it. The continuity of
capillary pores are broken and
the watfr is arrested just below
the surface, and is there retained
for the use of the plant. By cul
tivating continuously during dry
weather the mulch is restored as
fast as the oapillary action of the
water in the soil destroys it.
Again, finely divided soils have
the power of absorbing hydroscop
ic moisture from the air, a not in
significant property in a prolong
ed drought in a olimate like Lou
isiana, with heavy dews at n'ight.

‘‘I had stomach trouble all my
life,” says Edw. Mehler, proprie
tor of the Union Bottling Works,
Erie, Pa;, “and tried all kinds of
remedies, went to several doctors
and spent considerable money
trying to get a moment’s peace.
Finally I read of Kodol Dyspep
sia Cure and have been taking it
to my great satisfaction. I never
found its equal for stomach trou
ble and gladly recommend it in
hope that I may help other suf
ferers.” Kodol Dyspepsia Cure

Saved Many a Time*
A Southern Writer Worth Watching
Itsis not at all improbable that
before many years have passed
the South will be pointing proud
ly to a new writer in the field of
fiction; a writer whose present
work along another line gives
promise of something of endur
ing interest if she turns to fiotion
when more mature—-Helen Keller.
This wonderful girl from Alaba
ma, blind, and deprived of all
sense of hearing, is putting so
muoh poetic feeling, sentiment
and deep thought, and is showing
such marveloue descriptive pow
er, in her story of her life now ap
pearing in The Ladies’ Home
Journal, that one cannot help
wondering what she would do if
she were to try her hand at a ro
mance. It is too early yet for
her to think of it, as she is only
twenty-one, and still in college;
but it requires no stretch of the
imagination to conceive of her as
becoming one of the South’s most
famous authors by>and by.
