ORR REPRESENTATIVE.

The question Of who shall be
the Representative from this couu'
ty in the next Legislature is one
which is engrossiIg, TO a great ex
tent, the minds of the public at
present. Various modes and plans
have been suggested to give all our
candidates for this position a fair
showing, and till, at the Same
lime, leave only one candidate on
the track after the August cleo
ton. With more than one candi-
date defeat would be certain. AT

con the Primary Election plan was
suggested and adopted by a Mass
convention of the county. This
an is n which could be discuss

TIE Democracy presents a man
for their support of the people for
the Office of Judge; who has never
been accused of p~eculation or corr

could secure the nomination in the

earnest and untiring efforts of all
good and true men for his election
to the office which he seeks. Judge
Mckinney has made character als

STATE FINANCES. a POLIoY

STATE FINANCES.- POLICY,
The financial policy Of this State
seems to be always on the borrow
and never pay. There has been
enough of such a policy, all must
admit. GTbe State debts constant.
ly increasing, while the interest il
never paid. There is a disposition
to utterly ignore the financial ques
ton among our politicians boil
small and great. 1t is no time t.
shuttle the issue. And it must be
tine. None of them seem 30 have
any well defined ideas on the sub
Ject.
We will throw out a few hints
which are undoubtedly for the in
terest of the. people, on the credit
of the State. With the present
stringency in the money market,
the lack Of sufficient currency to
pay the moderate taxation now
imposed upon lis, no well defined
financial policy in' either the State
or general Government, and the
p~rostration of all commercial in
Misunderstanding must be done
ty give relief to the country.
A STATE POLICY.
The Legislature should pass a
law for general relief. The State
should issue Treasury notes or War-
rants at the rate Of $4,000, 900
per year for fifteen years, for the
payment Of the interest and reduc>
ton of the bonded Indebtedness Of
the State; salaries Of officials and
running expenses of the various
courts; and to be receivable in
payment of all State, school, COM
ty, muoicipal or corporation taxes.
We know that the proposition
ia q new one but feasible; and open
to attack, and is a horn of the d.
emma which has not been present
ed, one which the holders of the
bonds will be glad to avail them>
selues of. The circumstances of
our people will not admit of excess
sive taxation. And we are driven
to the next best thing-issue nom
interest bearing notes or warrants,
or reputation. Tho bonds of the
State are steadily depreciating in
value, while the interest is accu-
mulating OF the rate of about
81, $50, 900 a year. Although the
money has been borrowed and the
interests paid several, year yet the
debt is increasing and we are still
on the borrow with the possibility
Of paying fast diminishing.
There is a disposition on the
part of the politicians both great
and small TO stave off this question
momentous as it is. They dare not
advocate any policy. The times
require that the people should take
the matter IN hand. Men must
come forward and take hold of the
vital issues, Of which the financial
is chief. We must work for relief
and this policy looks more favora'
ale in that direction than any yet
put forward. Excessive taxation
will bring no relief, but it will
grind the life blood out of every
and add to the distress Of
our already oyerburdened people.

At help has 10 be obtained, to make

than to wear out prematureIy from

with good husband, can be happier
nowhere than on a farm, but let not
o sense OF duty in the one, and a
false economy in the other, deprive
the wife OF all needed assistance. 1t
IS lar better 20 enjoy lite in old age,
with your children, than TO have
slaved through life to leave them d
fortune, while you lay down in a
premature grave ere life's great
tasks be fully done. Let the duties

upon farmers wives be lessened, ana
furnish abundant help for the work
to be done.-S1uthern Farmer
