Nothing has been more remarkable
than the proneness of the farmer to

Nearly all Of his public efforts az
shown in the movements Of Farmer g
Alliances and similar organizations,
as we'll as in bis voting, have been di-
rected with view TO one result only,
viz the increasing Of the prices OF
what he had to market. The prices
he has to pay for the many things that
necessity has .npelled him to pur-
chase have not troubled bin in the
least. To that side Of the question
be has scarcely given a thought, Il
is not the cost of the land, for that ia
cheap and in many sections is getting
cheaper, that weighs him down, but
the cost Of the tools with which he
works, Of the wagons and carts with
which be does his hauling, the clothes
which be wears and which he must
provide for his children, and the han.
dred and one other things that can
only be obtained at "ths store We
wonder that the farmer does not come

is it that the Studebakers, the Car

as he thunders on after his mates. How
old Bony did enjoy that race with free
rein and the long, level plains before
them! How he showed those conceited
young horses how horses ran in his day!
From one side of the band to the other
he "weaved," with ears laid flat and
eyes fairly bulging in his excitement.
AS 10 those Apaches ever overtalang
them, he snorted at the idea.
So they raced, and the sorely wounded
rider, sick unto death, gamely clung to
his back, though thigh and loin were
crying out with their burden of an arrow

lips. Yet little further and they would
be safe at the ranch. Vet little-and

called him, falls like a sack of wheat into

ABOLISH RACE TROUBLES.

A Georgia Paper Discusses Prohibition
and the Race Question.
The Savannah News of Feb. con-
tanned the following editorial. This
Democratic papers appeal to Senator
Colquitt to push Prohibition in Georgia
as well as in the north is a cutting re-
buke to those liquor organs that have
branded the senator's Prohibition work
as "undemocratic:"
Senator Colquitt addressed a meeting
of the American Temperance union at
the Union Tabernacle church, New
York, on Sunday, and in the course of
his remarks, speaking of race troubles
in the south, said:
''They tell us of the bitterness and ami
mostly that the whites have for the
blacks. l have a remedy to propose.
Shut the dram shops in all sections of
the south, at every crossroad and in
every town and hamlet where whites
and negroes intermingle in the same
community, and l will pledge you that
where you hear of ten cases of bloodshed
now you will not hear of one. 1t is
liquor conflict, not race issue"
The abolishing of the dram shops
would not, of course, settle the race pro-
blem, but it would very nearly put an
end to those crimes of violence which are
now attributed to race prejudice. In
those counties in this state which have
prohibited the selling of Intoxicating
liquors within their limits conflicts be-
tween white and black men are of very
rare occurrence. The races get along
together very well Neither the whites
nor the blacks are aggressive, and both
are more prosperous than they are in
counties in which whisky is easily OBJ
tanned. Senator ColquItt, instead of de-
llvering temperance speeches in the
north, might render his own state excel.
lent service by advocating Prohibition in
each of his counties. By so doing he
would assist in Strengthening a reform
that has already done Il vast amount of
good, and which is certain to do a great
deal more.

enough to travel. DIR. Conroy had advised
the change of climate, and Mr.. Falconer.
with his blood debilitated and chilled by
sickness, looked forward to it gratefully
DIR. Conroy had been like a brother in this
time of trouble, and the Falconers, who had
respected and admired him before, were
now bound to him by the ties of affection as
well.
He who comes to US in our hour OF
trouble not only makes himself our friend,
but commands affection also, and the
earnest, faithful physician not only heals
the sickness by the aid of his skillful knowl-
edge, but brings his sympathy, his soothing
word and kindly touch, winning place for
himself in our hearts which no other can
fill.
DR.. Conroy was one of these who brought
his heart with him to the sick chamber
Many mother could testify that he had
ministered to her sick babe as tenderly as
if it had been his own.
1t was this element of tenderness in his
nature which had endeared him to Lottie
Ford, and with him affection for
the fair, sweet girl, so gentle and un-
complaining in her suffering, had sprung
up spontaneously, and he had made her but
few visits before he became conscious that
she was the one woman of all the world
whom ne wished to call his wife, and as he
was straightforward man, he had lost nc
time in showing her his heart.
She was steadily improving under his
care, and could now walk with one crutch
with but little pain, and there was every
reason to hope that her recovery was to be
complete, and she was preparing for the
visit at home with great delight.

her cheerful room, ''you will spend the time
with US before your marriage, will you not Z?
We shall return in February, and I shall
hope to see you soon after we come home.n
