THE friends of DIR. George, who
was defeated by Mr.. G, A. Miller,
for the Legislature from this District,
claim that it was the colored vote
which done 1t. They claim that if
the colored men had shown their
gratitude to DIR, George for the de
termined stand he took against separ-
ate schools in this city, and in recog-
nizing, while President Of the Board
of Control, the ability of Prof. VIM.
II. Day, by making him chairman of
very important committee, they
would have supported him. We
have no doubt the colored men of
this city esteem DIR. George very
highly for his kindly and manly in
terest in them, and doubtless wish
for a more acceptable time to give
evidence of their esteem for him, but
it was little too much to expect or
ask in legislative fight in a Presi-
dental year the support of Republi-
cans against a candidate with a record
like Hon. G. A. Miller. While it is
true that DR.. George done what two
Republican Presidents of the Board
of Control failed to do, this served to
show that there was less color blind
ness in him than in many Republi
cans

able effect of this high pressure is what

earlier, and, what is more, they retain
their vigor later. A man OF sixty now

Keep the Weeds Down.

Do not wat for the corn and the
potatoes to get large and strong,
but as soon as the rows can
be seen, the cultivator should
be set at work. Delay at this gives the
weeds time to get a strong stand and a
deep roofing. when it will be much
more difficult to destroy them. The
time to hoe is just before the weeds
make an appearance. This applies to
field and garden alike. Then there are
no weeds to trouble, and all that is
called for is to simply stir the surface
of the ground. This is an easy and
simple operation compared with the
tearing out and destroying q matted
growth of deep rooted weeds. The
modern practice OF substituting the
horse and implement for the former
hand work is based on this early atten-
ton to Tie fields. If the fields were
deeply stirred and properly fixed be.
fore the planting. no deep working is
called for in the hoeing. a stirring Of
the surfrce oily, done early and often,
is all that is called for. No neglect OF
delays arc admissible at this time. The
farmer must be prompt and active If he
would keep ahead of his work and
ahead of the weeds. This will be found
much the cheaper course in the end.
Less work is required, the land will be
cleaner, and crops will be heavier
