Our Choice For Congress-,
J. FLOYD KING,
HANCOCK AND GARFIELD.

- IL S5ItJ OhoLt lldo DoSA Ia ttd
by the Republicans to brin
some charge against Gen. Han
cock that would damage hi
prospects at the November cleo
ton. They have searched hi
record from the day he was bor
until the day he was nominated
at Cincinnati. They have as
sailed him with venomous arrow
which proved harmless every
time they struck the pure ant
solid shield of rectitude will
which he has ever been clad
They have aired and sifted his
public career hoping to detect
some rottenpess in the man who
is as pure and honest as be is
brave and patriotic. His enemies
charged him with murder in the
unfortunate execution of Mrs.
Surratt, and howled about it like
ravenous wolves. It has been
proven that Hancock made every
'exertion in his power for the
release Of that hapless woman.
The Republicans learned that
the people OF the nation gave no
heed to any such absurd accusa-
tons and they at once sought
another plan Of attack upon a
man whose virtues are as tran
scendant as ever ennobled and
immortalized a human being.
They vainly endeavored to at
tribute a despotic inclination to
the famous letter which he wrote
In 1876 to General Sherman.
Failing in that they maliciously
denied that Hancock is the
author Of that matchless "Order
No. 49," which has drawn to him
thousands and thousands of vo-
ters in this country. His oppo-
nents claimed that that able
jurist, Judge Black, of Pennsyl-
vania, wrote the "Order" and
that Hancock claimed the honor
OF the wonderfully sublime and
yet eloqnently simple sentiment
which it breathed throughout. |
Judge Black, who is now in |
Europe, comes out in a magnif- |
cent letter to the New York !
World, and denies most en-
phatically that he wrote, die
lated, or even at any time sug-
sested anything in the famous
order" that the Republicans
we're SO much alarmed about.
Judge Black further declares
hat he is wholly incapable of
composing such document, and
links that it reflects the grand
of Hancock and him
slone- Hence the Republicans
re checkmated on every hand
Vhen they attempt to stigmatize
he untarnished name and the
Inapproachable purity Of one Of
he noblest men of the nineteenth
century. Il
Lets look for a moment at the
harges that have been brought | {
gainst Garfield. He was one {
f those avaricious politicians |
'ho participated in the notorious 6
salary grab" and his friends at I
'mpt to palliate his course in
nat great wrong by claiming

Ioney from the treasury at il
1ashington. That explanation G
his theft is "too thin" to salts u
the most superficial mind. a

The Value of Cotton seod.

isonly within the last ten or fifteen wears
that any commercial value was placed upon
cotton seed. For hundred Years we had
seen the COW and other domestic animals
deyour them with the greatest avidty and
relish. Since the war, if we mistake moi,
these seed were discovered to contain valua,
Bile oil, followed by the erection of oil mills
In many southern states. The Compressed

ing all the former we send them. Cotton
seed meal, for cow food, is excellent food.
And now the manufacturers of "oleomarra-
rine butter" use large quantities of cotton
oil, thereby converting it into table deli
ctacy, and making it contribute directly 10
human food. When chopped and fed to
cows tn, effect is happy--magical upon her
milk and butter And it is about the cheap.
est food we can use in winter.
AS a valuable fertilizer il has long been
used in the south Atlantic states, but now
since 1t has began being turned into oil. il is
found more profitable, save in motepoints,
where transportation amounts to more than
the seed sell for. But we are progressing to
that point where everything upon a southern
farm is being utilized for all it is worth, like
the northern farmer has long been doing.

The Operation of Ruddine

A correspondent of the journal of Agri,
culture gives the following directions for
budding. This operation Is usually performed
on the stone fruits. He writes: "There is
scarcely farm or garden without some
young trees starting up that can easily be
converted into good variety by budding.

cherry shoul be budded first, as the bark on
these cease to slip early Apple and pear a
little later, while the psach, if Young seed
lings can be budded as late as the last of SEN

August. The method is as follows: Take a
twig from the variety you wish to bud, and
rs soon as cut from the tree cut off the leaves,
leaving about half inch of the leaf stock of
each to the twig; choose smooth place on
the tree or branch to insert the bud in. First
cut cross clean through the bark about one
thlrd around the stem, then cut down from
TINS about one inch and half Now cut the
bud out from your twig, start the blade
OF the knife (which should have

lar budding knife, should have rounded

clean down half an inch below cutting it

is almost half an inch below the cross.cut;
