HOW MS ETS

Bacon is worth ten cents per pound and cot
ton eight cents-how ia that! Our progressive
t9l farmers are raising cotton to buy their ba.
to profit by the lesson they have learned this
year. They are fast finding out that all cotton
and no meat is a costly thing. Wonder how it
would be to diversity a little. Plant one.third
wheat with now and then few scattered
acres in oats and grass. Cotton would then
be worth an eighth OF a dollar pound and ba
con not one half OF it, What a lovely picture
would ensue. The south would soon bask i'm
the sunshine of her own financial splendor.-

The cane crop is turning out excellently, but
grinding is being very much retarded in many
sections by the low stage of bayous and streams
upon which planters have depended for their

Fall blowing and seeding is almost entirely

Farmers reap more benefits from good roads

near a good road is always desirable It is
very important that this matter should be

wheat, oats, hay (and cotton in some loCaitics)

We are accustomed to the methods Of
the pension seeker He goes for doctor
and doctors certificate every six
months. II one doctor does not discover
fatal disease or two emitting him to a
pension, he goes for another and another
till some accommodating or pecuniarily
interested doctor gives him certificate
Of chronic desuetude or inherent and pro
gressive laziness Of such pronounced
type as to entitle him to pension with
back pay from the end Of the war with
Mexico.
Mr.. Blaine's case is different He Is
not occupied in proving that he is almost
tvo weak to draw pension, but that he
is too strong to live without salary.
He gets certificates Of beauteous and
blooming health which increase in inten-
sity with bis desire to hold office,
The old soldier pensioner pursues the
opposite racket. He proves that. he is
about to die, but that a monthly pension
will save his life He rarely dies after
he begins to draw pension and when
he does die his widow is too sad TO tell
the officers and stop the pension
Another doctor has certified to Secre-
tary Blaine's health. II may be that the
doctors are certifying to Candidate
Blaine's health, but which ever It is, he
is the healthiest man in the United
States.
According TO the latest bulletin from
the last doctor, who gave a certificate in
Philadelphia. Mr.. Blaine is in prime con
dition to tackle Yale's foot ball giant,
HefTelfnger, or to make John L. Sullivan
regret that he had been born
The sprinting experts have not re.
ported yet but no doubt when their re-
ports come in, as they will in few days,
they will state that the great man is
''out OF sight" in foot-race
Two months ago 1t was announced
that he would not use the State Depart
ment carriage; that he came out Of the
railway car on his feet, not on litter or
on bis hands and knees. The Philadelphia
examiner says Mr. Blaine can walk Two
miles and that he often walks mile
before dinner, Such condition Of robust
and rubIcund health for the pallid aud
trembling candidate Of Bar Harbor is a
startling metamorphosis difficult to com
prehend and wonderful to tell
These numerous bulletins give color to
the impression that Secretary Blaine is
preparing for race. His condition is
reported as Sullivan's, or any other
athlete 5, pending contest he undergoes
periodical and frequent examinations,
just as an old soldier seeking an increase.
Hence he not only intends to make the
race but to apply for salary too

Of the old papers, with the exception Of
the Tribune, have left the Republican

that did not have a strong position by

Phillips. The Press is a Republican
paper, but IL is more dlstinctively high

commenting on the situation
says in case the Republican party be
comes a free trade party the Press will
leave It. Ia that event there would
have been only ths Tribune, which is

straight out Republican paper in the city
had not the Recorder been started.
Il Is just this situation, or the appre
hension that there would be no straight
out Republican paper in the largest city
Of the country, which induced the Re
publicans to start the Recorder They are
trying to prevent the party from going
