How MUCH MANURE ToA Cow
Carefully conducted experiments
have shown that a cow. otsthe ave.
rage size will void about 60 pounds
of manure in day, measuring one
and one sixth cubic feet, WHICH is
more than three cords, weighing
over ten tons for a year. 1t is the
opinion Of a gocdmany cultiwltors.
that three loads of peat or muck
mixed with one ofcow dung, make
a compost quite as good us COW
dung itself. Ifthis were done, we
have twelve cords of good compost
from the solid cxcrenents of one
COW. 1t is further estimated that
the liquid manure is quite us valu.
able as the solid. Ii they were
carefully kept by peat absorbents
under the stable, it would double
the pile, or be equal to twenty
four cords of good compost. This
compost at four dollars per cord,
would be worth ninety six dollars.
This estimate shows what may he

that nothing pays better than the

A National Medicine.

One can hardly pick up a newspaper or
turn n street corner nowadays that he
does not find staring him in the face, the
announcement that Prof. So-and-So has
lust discovered medicine which is a PAN
acea for all the ills that flesh IS or may be,
heir to. These wonderful" discoveries
usually have an existence of few months,
then disappear from public notice. The
reason of their sudden cXtinguishment is
apparent. They were humbugS. AT the
outset all medical preparations have an
equal chance for success as ali are equally
unknown: but the chat i soon winnOwed
from the grain by the practical test which
an unprecedented public applies to all things.
There are but few preparations of medicine
which have withstood the impartial judg-
ment of the people for any length Of time.
one Of the few which we have now in mind,
and which has been long time familiar TO
nearly every household in the land, is the
celebrated Hostetter's stomach Bitters.
Their almost universal sale and use, and
their emphatic endorsement from all por-
tons of the country, compel the admission
that they must be specific for the ailments
for which they are recommended. Letters
before us attest their efficacy in diseases of
the throat, bowels and liver. In that truly
terrible complaint, dyspepsia, they are re-
garded rs sure cure. In PITTSBURGH wheTe
these Bitters are manufactured, their sale
for home use is immense. This TACT alone
speaks volumes in their favor.-EItructs
from the MllscRine Courier, IOInd, fco. 4, 1907.

TIE Parkersburg Ga-ete argues in
favor of the adoption of the FLICK
Amendment, and also a constitutional
convention. If we are to have a con.
vention, why adopt the amendment?
After the people Of tire State have en-
phatically pronounced against negro
suffrage why is Democratic Legisla-
ture asked to rush TO its endorsement?
The representatives Of the Radical
party failed to obey the voice OF the
people on the same subject, and forfeited
their positions as the result.
The dislranchised can be rehibiitated
by legislative action, sooner than they
can by the adoption Of any amendment,
even if the amendment now under dis
cussion could be legally adopted, which
it cannot.
The Ga-ehe argues that by the adop-
ton OF this amendment the now dis
franchised Will be ready to vote for
members Of the Convention, which il
regards as certain to he called. We
are surprised that such an able lawyer
and experienced legislator as the writer
of that article is should put forward
such a proposition. Even admitting
that the Legislature could not re-invest
with the right of suffrage those now
deprived of ii for general purposes, our
respected and venerable friend must
acknowledge that it is perfectly compe-
tent for the Legislature to authorize
this class to vote on the proposition to
call Convention, and for members OF
that Convention as well.

We hope the NeD Era, at Martins

From the New Era, Martinsburg.l
Since the triumph Of the Democratic
party, the press and the people OF the
State are somewhat exercised on the
subject of the United States Senator
ship. 4 number Of prominent and dis
tingushed gentlemen have been men
toned in connection Herewith, any one
of whom, we have no doubt, would re-
fleet honor on the State. But we think
the legislature should gavely consider
some questions before they elect Sen
ator, as we think the most derserving
should have the greatest consideration.
Who are the people Of the State the
most indebted to for the late triumph =?
Whose energy, talents and means were
most literally expended? Whose la
bors were most effective in wrenching
victory from the Radical grasp?
If these questions are considered
and answered truthfully, the Hon.
II. q. Davis, of Piedmont, will
undoubtedly be the unanimous choice
of the Democracy of West Virginia.
For wears he has been consistent, de
termined and acorkiny enemy Of Radi-
calIsm in all Of its phases, and to his
tact, management and means we are,
as much as to any other man in the
State, indebted for the glorious position
we now occupy. We believe in the
doctrine of rendering "honor to whom
honor is due and we know Of no other

These considerations have induced us to
give him our hearty support for the

Negro Labor i'm the south.

A former prominent citizen OF " heel
ing, but for a number of years past a
citizen of Mississippi, writes as follows
in a private letter TO friend in this
city:
a hope your city continues to inn
proye. | spent my boyhood days there
from about 1928 to 1S40-then again
from lS43 to 1874. | was amazed at
the rapid strides that had been made
between 1859 and lS70-the years OF
my last visits.
Clouds of darkness, and distress,
and doubt, and difficulty, still hang over
this, my adopted State, in which have
resided about twenty-seven years. Pc
cuniarily, | think our people are in a
worse condition to-day than they were
on the day of the surrender. The free
negro, as a laborer, is unquestionably a
nuisance; and that man, in all this
country, who has given employment to
the most of them, has lost the most
money. This year, owing to very
backward spring, wonderfully dry
weather, bad work and the very low
price of cotton (the only article pro-
duced for sale), has been quite a dlsas-
trous one, but few planters being able 10
meet the expenses actually incurred In
making their crops. The negroes, es-
pecially when cropping to themselves
have most signally failed. ltremalns a
question with those of us who have ever
been conservative in our politics, and who
opposed the violent politicians Of the
past in the South, how the negro ques'
ton is going to work itself out. Ger
tainly the results thus far have been
very unsatisfactory, if not disastrous, to
all parties here. What may bein store
for us in the future, suppose, will be
developed in due time
