Time enough has elapsed since the

the State to conl;dcr the results Of the
ticket presented to the people for sup
port by the representatives Of the Dem.
ocra,ic party; and tho verdict is more
favorable than could haze been antici.
pated by the most sarguine. Every
Democratic paper in the State, with J..
out exception, supports it heartily I;
while the Radical press comedies that
in point Of integrity. ability and Gtness
the gentlemen on the ticket are above
unkind criticism.
1u the Democratic ranks, harmony
the most complete and lasting, prevails.
Tho unfortunate feud Of four years ago
was buried By the action of tho Con.
vention, in iguoring it, and in giving
to gentlemen who then differed with US,
some Of tic most important positions
on the ticket. As tho matter now
stands, the Democracy Of tho State
presents IN unbroken front; the nomi.
nccs are more than acceptable; the
platform is all that could be desircd !;
and from lIarper's Ferry to the Big
Sandy tic friends ofgood government
are working shoulder to shoulder te
achieve such victory in October, rs
will put quietus upon Radicalism 10
this State for all time to come.
To every Democrat, this state Of
things must be gratifying indeed ; and
it should DO an incentive to all to work
,irclcssly and increasingly to SO organ
izc our forces that after winning the
battle in October, We may aid the
Democracy Of tue county on tho grand

A New Forage Plant.

During the session Of the agricultural
convention ut Gainesville, we made the
plcasant acquaintance Of Mr.. s. w.
Brooks, u delegate from Brooks county.
He carried to the convention samples OF
a forage plant which is now extensively
cultivated in Brooks and some Of the nd.
Joining counties Of Georgia and Florida,
and which is held in great esteem there
for its valuable properties. lie calls il
" Indian clover" or " bcggar weed" 1t
bears A resemblance to the plant which
we call "bcggar's lice" and produces
an adhesive seed very similar to that
weed. But as it is cut for forage when
in bloom and before the seed hardens,
there j. no trouble in this score The seed
il gown in drills, about n thick AS cotton
seed, though the drills are only two feet
apart. The plant grows to the height Of
four, and even five or six feet, and has
a bush top, full Of leaves very much re-
scmbling the foliage Of the field pea.
They are evidently fully as palatablc
and nutritious as the pea leaves, and do
not fall Off like the latter, To the human
taste the dried leaf is sweet, agreeable
and %succuIcnt, and its fragrance Is rs
pleasant as that Of clover. Mr., Brooks
says that when this %proycndcr is put in
a trough with other kinds, the mules
will push the oats and fodder out Of the
way to get the "bcgar weed" For
milch cows it il especially valuable, be,
ing rich and juicy, and eagerly dcyoured
by them.
The yield of tins plant il very great.
1t may be cut three times in a season,
growing up repeatedly from the old
stumps, and yields many hundreds OF
pounds 10 the acre Mt each cutting, The
samples which Mr.. Brooks carried to
Gainesville were Of the second cutting OF
this year, and he will certainly get one,
and, perhaps, two more cuttings. II is
not a perennial, but the seed must be
planted each year, II produces well on
poor lands, but, Ofcourse, does better on
rich soils. Horses, mules and cattle vii!
eat it up clean, stalks aud all, and thrive
on it.

TO COlOrcd Voters In the South.
New York Herald.

We advise the colOred voters in the
southern states tOsuppOrt the democratic
state and local tickets. They will prob
ably, in general, want to vote for Gov,
Hayes, and this they can easily do at
the same time that they vote for the
democratic local and state tickets, 1t il
time for them to exercise discrimination
in their voting. TO "vOtc the straight
ticket" is not, as they have been taught
by corrupt white men, the highest duty
0i an American citizen. They may
reasonably say that they prefer n repub
lican federal administration but in such
states as South Carolina, Louisiana and
Mississippi, they ought to see that they
have been in local politics only the in
struments of bad men, who mislead them
and use them for purposes ~anIagonlstlc
to their own interests and to those OF he
communities of which they are a part,
Senator Boutwell,, one Of the most zeal
Gus and watchful friends Of the southern
colored men, was 50 impressed with the
condition of Mississippi politics that he
advised the colored leaders in that state
TO nominate none but leading white men
of character and standing in the cOmmu-
nifty, native born and property owners,
to the Offices, and to support these faith
fully. This was sound advice. If they
do this they will give the state peace and
themselves the good will of the whole
community, So in South Carolina, Gen.
HumptOu. one of the foremost citizens of
the state, solemnly and publicly pledges
himself that, if he is chosen governor, he
will execute impartial Justice between
white and black and see that the colorcd
people are secure in all their rights in
every part Of the state. We advise the
colored man to take him at his word and
give him a trial. He promises more thsn
Gov. Chamberlain has performed, and
he has the ability Ia do whav he says,
In Louisiana there can be no doubt Of
the duty of colorcd voters; they ought
to support the conservative ticket and
put down the corrupt republican ring
which has 50 long kept the state in tur-
MOL. If the colored voters it these
states should declare openly that they
mean to vote fer Hayes, but that they
will everywhere support the local demo
cratic tickets, they would put Il new
face on the campaign in the south, and
they would only he doing, after all, what
honest white republicans in Louisiana
and Mississippi have been doing for
several years.

THE CHICAGO LEDGER is said to have
spent $4,000 in advertising the past two
years, and by the looks of the newspa-
per throughout the United States, we
should say it would take as much to 90
round this year. And to cap the climax
the proprietors have announced their pa
per al SI.OO Il year. How it is done is n
mystery, unless they have more than ga
barrel of money" to giye away. We be-.
Iicvc, however, it IS the theory of the pub
fishers that all they ask of the reader is
to pay for the white paper and postage;
for their labor, when the paper reaches
10000 or more circulation, their adyer-
tising will pay the profit. While they
are building up the paper they do not
solicit advertising, and hence the read.
ers get a great paper for $l.oo that is
worth $500. As the publishers have the
money, no doubt they will succeed.
