A Coed Profit Guaranteed.

Did those who read Mr.. Robin
Jones address published in our last
issue that the concern he represents
/ propose to guarantee a dividend of
10 per cent. on the amount that
may be invested in a creamery in
Pulaski? In speaking of the pro
posed factory here, he said, "to
those who take stock in this enter
prise we propose to guarantee them
a dividend of 10 per cent. on the
capital invested" There is no un-
certain ring in this sort of talk, and
shows what confidence those who
have in the enterprise. The Ten
nessee creamery at Nashville has
proposed, through its representa-
tive, Mr.. Jones, to take stock IN a
creamery &nd cheese factory in Pu-
laski to the amount of not less than
$1,000, and so confident are the
managers of that concern of the sue
cess of a similar enterprise here that
they are not only willing to put
their own money into it, but to in
spire confidence in others they are
willing to guarantee a handsome
dividend on the entire stock in the
company. The condition with
which the stockholders would be
required to comply is to furnish
the factory with the milk of 200
COWS. We learn from Mr.. Jones
address that the amount of capital
required 20 build and equip facto-
ry that will work up the milk Of
200 to 400 COWS is only $500 and
we believe the committee appointed
to solicit stock will find it an easy
matter to raise the necessary
amount if the farmers and those
who have money to invest will only
consider the advantages of the en-
terprise. Mr.. Jones enumerates
these advantages as follows:
1st-You make a home market for
your milk.
2nd-You have another income from
the sale of milk and this enables
you to pay cash as you go and will
eventually wipe out our system of II
months credit--the greatest curse that
our southern farmers have.
3rd-You can calculate with absolute
certainty what your income will be for
the year. Milking cows will not in
terfere with your present mode OF famr-
ing, but will be stimulant to it. If
you are careful of your manure you can
raise one crop after another with more
certainty
4th-You will have another advan-
tage that will arise from an enlightened
agriculture and a prosperous farming
community.
Another advantage which he
didn't include in his enumeration is
the one to which we have called at
tention-the fact that a profit of 10I
per cent. is q certainty. What bet
ter thing do men who have money
to invest want than this? A sure
profit of 10 per cent. with all chances
for making more. The suggestion
that the farmers who own the COWS
are the proper men to own stock in
the company is a good one, but 1t
seems to us that any man with O
few hundred dollars to invest could
find no safer method of employing
his msney. Creameries pay well ev-
erywhere and why not in Giles
where cows are numerous and milk
can find no market? The names Of
the committeeman were published
last week.

rates of the roads, which the courts
decided could not be done, and de-
clared the law unconstitutional.
How much the commission is going
to cost the state while the law is be-
ing tested in the supreme court of
the Unieed States nobody can tell.
But now the party in convention
abandons the idea of controlling
the railroads and fixing the rates,
and proposes a commission to regu
late the roads only as to extortion
and unjust discrimination, as fol
lows:
4 That we favor regulation Of
railroads in this state by the COM
mission for that purpose, so as to
protect the roads in all their rights,
and the people from extortion and
from unjust and unfair discrimina-
tion.
That is all that is said. Extor-
tion and unjust discrimination can
be prevented by the courts A
commission, however, for these
purposes can do no harm. The
only question of moment is one of
expense to the state.
Many people who attended the
convention, after reading rabid
newspapers how the party was GO
ing to throttle the monsteI-our
raiiroads-were surprised to find
the convention going along and be-
having just as peaceably towards
the railroads as to other interests.
1t was indeed gratifying to all
right-thinking men that there was
not an unkind word spoken, or line
written, in all the proceedings, to-
wards the railroads. The conven-
tion, Notwithstanding all that has
been said by certain rabid newspa-
pers, evidently meant not to heed |
the communistic spirit which these |
papers would like to fan into mob,
but the entire body of delegates |
went through the entire work with
out indicating the slightest pur-
pose to unlawfully interfere with |
this class of property. This is a
most hopeful sign, and indeed, it is |
manifest that the folly of this at
tack on property has had its effects
and the convention meant to rebuke !
it.-Nashville American, June %. |

1t has been repeatedly remarked
recently on the streets that the citI-
zens of Pulaski ought to have seats
put up in the court yard. 1t docs
seem to US that so beautiful and
pleasant a retreat from the scorch-
ing summer sun ought 10 be provid
ed with such accommodations. a
few rustic seats scattered about un-
der the boughs Of the naples would
give the yard quite an inviting and
attractive appearance, and they
would cost very little. You can't
find a more beautiful square IN any
town in the state, yet there is not a
single seat in it and the only way
now in which to enjoy the cool
shade is to lean against a tree or
sit on the grass.

The Alabama state democratic
convention abrogated the two-thirds
rule. The Mobile Register, speak
ing Of the action of the convention,
says: "The abrogation Of the two
thirds rule. and the adoption Of the
majority rule, was demanded by
public sentiment and in accordance
with democratic principles. The
two-jhirds rule has been used so
long to destroy able and strong
men and to elevate weak and OBJ
scure men and has often been de-
parted from in county and con
gressiOnal conventions, that the
people have been ripe for return to
the usage which prevailed before
the day when that rule was devised
TO destroy Mr.. Van Buren.
Majority Rule" is the founda-
tion principle of true democracy,
and should be re-adopted by her
conventions everywhere.

4 spring rolling on field Of win
ter grain will often, by binding the
soil about its roots, save the crop;
and it is equally beneficial in a
similar way on grass lands. On
light soils the IOosening effects of
frequent freezing and thawing are
more or less avoided by autumn
rolling. Grass land cannot be too
heavily rolled. On all light lands
under tillage the use Of the roller is
indispensable for closing the pores
and preventing the evaporation of
moisture. Rolling is Injurious on
wet days except in very dry wealth
er, when they are lumpy after plow
ing. Rolling q stiff soil when wet
renders it more difficult of cultiva-
tion, by pressing the particles still
more closely together and prevent
ing the admission Of air.

The different breeds of hogs have
their fast friends, and no doubt
they each have what their friends
admire in them, but the average
feeder who does not care to raise
pigs to sell for breeding purposes,
should strive to get a hog that will
make him the most money for the
feed put into it. In the
first place, a hog should have
a good coat of hair; not bristles but
hair. A black hog will not get
scurvy on his back, the sun will not
blister him. A hog should haYe a
good constitution with round
sprung rib and good girth around
the heart, short neck and head well
put on, short face and nose, tail put
on not way up on his back nor yet
too low down, hams round and well
filled, not too sluggish disposition
nor yet too wild. By the purchase
of the right kind of a male pig, the
feeder can raise just such pigs as
he;wants to feed, and have much
more profitable and healthy animels
than he can buy.
The brood soWs can be run on
clover pasture in summer at very
little expense, and if provided with
good clover hay in winter it will
reduce their feed bills. Not enough
attention is paid to providing good
pastures for the pigs; they are gen
orally kept in q barren lot with a
generous sized mud hole in it, in
which the water is so foul that just
the smell of it is sickening let
alone having to drink it. AS for a
change of pasture it is never
thought Of on account of the troub-
lie of fencing it. The sensible way to
provide for them is TO have enough
land devoted to their use so the
pigs can have a good sweet pasture
all the time. Do not keep them on
the same old poisoned pasture for
ten years, but when the grass gets
run out plow it, and take off a coup
lie Of crops; then reseed to clover,
and then let their hogships take
fresh comfort, health, and fat from
the new, fresh ground and grass.
This ground will then supply the
living for the pigs, while in the
other way of doing the pig lot is
full of weeds, bare of grass and the
bare ground covered with mud and
hog wallows.-Breeders Journal.

The negroes Of Sumpter county,
Alabama, have a farmers club in
successful operation with some very
practical features worthy the con
sideration of white folks. If any
member fails to attend properly to
his team or keep his fences in re-
pair he is fined 81 to $40, and the
money is collected out Of the first
proceeds Of his crop. Membership
in such club would prove expen-
sive to a good many white farmers.
