How to Keep Irish Potatoes.

The Irish potato crop is now ready
for harvest, and except where there is
already heavy crop of weeds and
grass on the land the potatoes had
best be dug and either marketed or
banked. To save them put them as
much out of the light, heat and damp
ness as possible. Banking in dark
cool room by putting down alternate
layers of prairie hay or fine straw is
one of the best plans for keeping
them. If you have no room, then
bank them il the same manner and
cover well and deeply with straw
This keeps out ram and heat. Ear
ly on cool mornings is a good time
to bank. Don't allow the sun on
potatoes more than a few minutes
when digging. Dry sand or clay
dust will do as an alternate layer in
place of straw OF hay as second best.

OHIO POLITICS.

The interest everywhere manifest
ed IN the Ohio campaign is due en-
tirely to the test that is being made
of the popularity of the Mckinley
bill in a Republican State. 1t is
of the deepest interest because upon
the result will rest the determine
ton of the main issue in the presi-
dental election next year, and pos
sibly, too, the selection OF candi-
dates. The reelection of Governor
Campbell will make the tariff the
main issue in 1892, says the New
Orleans New Delta. While it is true
that the silver question will be an
element in the fight, and local issues
lend interest to the campaign, the
Republicans have distinctly invited
the tariff issue, and 1T is upon this
line that the battle will be fought.
The success of the Republicans will
signify little more than an indorse-
ment of Mckinley in his native
State, where he is quite popular, and
the return of Ohio to it's normal
place in the Republican column. On
the other hand Democratic triumph
will be of tremendous significance
in shaping the ensuing presidential
election and giving every encour-
agement of success. The Republi-
cans are keenly alive to the struggle
and are invoking the aid of the pr O.
tected manufacturers in the east
This cry has not been responded to
as literally as they expected, but
large corruption fund will be raised
no doubt and will enhance McKin.
ley's chances. In Cincinnati the
Democrats are handicapped by local
dissentions, which appear on the
surface to be healed, but it is feared
that this will endanger the Demo
Gratis chances of success. But theil
cause is just, and victory should the
BANNER believes crown their fight
for tariff referm.

SID WILLIAMS, LErrER.

Rev. Sid Williams writes the
Baptist Herald: 81 am at Orange
resting. My throat failed me at
BRENNAN and I had to leave one of
the most interesting meetings. I
will be glad for the brethren to
know that I am here and will answer
all communications at once. My
wife met me here, after an absence
of two months in the old states.
She reports a fine meeting of the
Mississippi State convention. Over
40 have united with the Orange
church and over 100 with the Bren-
ham church in the last three months.
We had a fine time at Brennan
over sixty conversions. 1 think
twelve united with the city church;
quite a number of the converts were
those who had gone into the church
under Unlikely and Burnett's meet
ing to try to do better This thing
of getting into churches before con-
version is what is damaging our
churches and the cause. God bless
you. 1 am not working for num-
bers, rather souls. Give Us just a
little more of Eye must be born
again" and less of this ''quit your
meanness." When conversion takes
place the meanness will naturally
slough of. When I was converted 1
did not not need any one to tell me
to quit my meanness. Reformation
don't bring regeneration, but re-
generation will ALWAYS bring re-
formation after Gods fashion. God
be with all of you, dear pastors, and
your wives until we meet again"

New vaults are being put in the
Lee county court house. The vault
capacity of Washington county's
magnificent temple Of justice is in
adequate to hold the records and at
the last term of the commissioners
court Mr.. W. Fl. Garretson, who
has the strongest testimonials of
any vault builder in the State was
here trying to make trade with
the County Commissioners but for
some reason the matter was defer
red until the next term of the court,
when he will be here again and in
all probability the vaults will be
contracted for then. The perfect
preservation of the county records
should be the pride of every county
for the loss of them is one of the
greatest losses a county can sus-
tain and causes litigation for years
to come. The vault capacity should
be adequate to hold all the records
and absolutely fire proof, as the
vault built by Mr. Garrettson in
Ushur county, over which the court
house burned keeping it red hot for
Is hours without burning book.

THE LUMBERnrEN.

The Beaumont Journal speaks
autboritatively when 1t says there
will be general withdrawal of mem
bers of the Southern Lumbermen
Manufacturers association west of the
Mississippi. Beaumont, Orange and
Lake Charles lumbermen have for
warded there designations and many
other millmen have signifed their
intention of doing likewise. The
guage, of which there has been much
done and more said to push upon
Southern manufacturers, was the
cause of this action on the part of
the Southern lumbermen, who were
perfectly satisfied with what was
first proposed, viz, the adoption of
an eastern and western gusge. The
adoption of the new guRge will cost
the South thousands of dollars.

PAID TEXAS a TO TEXAS.

Eustorjio Ramore, a Mexican
bandit, who is the terror of North
ern Mexico and frequently invades
Texas, surrounded by about so des-
peradoes, has recently paid Texas a
visit, and here is the result: On
Thursday night Eustoriio went to a
fandango at Camargo, became in
volved in one of his usual affairs and
escaped with his customary luck.
He danced awhile, became angered
at a man, feIled him with a six
shooter, shot at him while he lay on
the floor, missed and fled. He was
followed by three soldiers of the
Mexican army and policeman of
Camargo. He heard their pursuing
steps and secreted himself in the
chapparral, and when they came up
opened fire. One soldier was in
stantly killed, another was shot
twice through the bowels and the
policeman was struck through the
groin. Both of these will die. The
remaining soldier grappled with the
bandit and endeavored to stab him
with a bayonet, but Estorjio drew a
bowie knife and stabbed his adver-
sary across the stomach and contin-
ued his fight, leaving his four oppo-
nents lying in the middle of the
sandy road. He has gone to his
camp in the Mexican mountains and
the Texas side of the Rio Grande is
preparing for his next raid.

TIE ALIEN LAND LAW.

John Howard, of and for Texas,
who believes in "the man with the
hoe" in the Fl. Worth Gazette, says:
''In my humble opinion the alien
land law will result in great good to
Texas and her people, too. 1 said
this when the law was first pub
lished and still stick to it, notwith-
standing l have been charged with
taking this side of the question for
the purpose of getting the good
will or Endorsement of certain class
of people. I care not who agrees or
disagrees with me on this or any
other question that has OF may
come up. 1 have and will express
my opinion regardless of who it may
please or displease.
Without going into details OF Civ
ing all my reasons for saying the
law will benefit every town and
county in Texas, I viii say that I
will pay the expenses Of any man
who is opposed TO alien laAd law if
he will 60 with me 200 miles from
Fort Worth in most any direction ID
case 1 don't convert him Oh change
his mind, and have him admit that
the law, if enforced, will benefit each
town and county and the staJe at
large, provided lie will agree to set
aside personal feeling ai.i interest
and consluer the Lest interest Of the
peopio and sta,e.
We will ali have to admit that
some few man, comparatively speak
ing, will be financially embarrassed
and perhaps suffer quite little, but
if we will consider the interest of
the majority and the town, county
and state we live in, I think we will
find that the law will in the end be
a "blessing in disguise"
There is no new law passed of
any Importance that has or will suit
or please all, and if we are to con-
slider the interests of few to that
of many, then the law should be re-
pealed.
In conclusion permit me to say,
Mr. Editor, that Texas is to day
from 10 to 20 years behind the
times snd were it not for the fact
that a few men are able to combine
together and own or control tens of
thousands of acres of land and IN
many cases nearly if not quite con-
troll a whole county and keep the &C.
tual settlers out and hold the land
for years, this would not be the
case.
In my opinion Texas needs peo-
ple-good farmers to occupy the va
cant land more than she does money
If we secure the people, especially
farmers, there will be no trouble
about getting all the money wanted
from the Eastern and Middle states;
we will have no trouble in getting
the farmers if the land can be had
at reasonable prices; we will let the
people know where 1t is and what it
can be had for"

ANOTHER DEEP WATER PORT.

Col. John WiIlett says of his
Padre Island scheme 81 have at
last secured the amount of land nee
essary to induce capitalists to take
hold of the enterprise, and I have
no fears whatever but that it will 60
through all right. A surveying
party is now in the field making a
survey of the harbor and its outer
approaches. The land accessions
have not been obtained until the
present month, and in consequence
work has been delayed. Now, how
ever, that this obstacle has been
overcome, I expect the work to be
completed in about two years. It
will require a large amount of
money, but this can be secured now
that the trouble about getting the
necessary amount of land has at last
been overcome. A reorganization
of the company will be had in the
near future, when the books of the
company will be open, and the PEG
pie of the contiguous and surround
ing counties, whose interests are
identical with those of my company,
and whose properties when this
work is constructed will be en-
HANGED in value a hundred fold. will
be invited to take stock in this en-
;erprise. Not that 1 expect them to
urnish the money to construct
his work, but now ask their COOP
'ration in small way for the pur-
bose of inspiring Northern and Eas-
ern capital with confidence in the !
necessity of this undertaking and to |
how to nonresident investors the
aith in the enterprise of those To-
ally interested.

The solution of the farmers
trouble on account of TIE low price
of cotton is to be found in the diver
slty of their crops another year. If
they will make cotton the surplus
crop, and raise all the corn, meat,
etc, that they need on the farm
the problem will be solved. The
crop will be reduced to less than
seven million bales and ten cents or
more will be the ruling prices.

Death From Cigarette Smoking.
.ouisyille Courier. Journal.

Louisville Courier journal.
The fatal effects of the cigarette habit was
illustrated yesterday by q pathetic case Of
insanity, which was brought before Judge
Lawson. William Morley, young man
who, by occupation, has been coll ctor and
whose family, in Falkland, is well known
and well-to-do, was adjudged lunatic after
a trial before jury in the city court. He is
said to be troubled with an acute homicidal
or suicidal mania, and has not only threat
ened to take his own life, but also to kill his
mother. DR.. Pusey and others testified as
to his condition and he was not taken into
court. His insanity is said to have been
caused by indulgence in the cigarette habit
and other excuses. He is Is years old.

THE COTTON OUTLOOK.

The outlook at present says the
Memphis Appeal-Avalanche, would
indicate that the crop of cotton now
being marketed will amount to about
6,760,000 bales, and the new crop
coming ID will not fall much short
of the same number of bales. What
effect this immense supply of Ameri-
can cotton will have on the market
next season remains to be seen. 1t
is claimed that the world needs all
the cotton in sight and prospectively
in sight, and that the trouble is not
in the overproduction of cotton, but
in the stagnant condition of the
worlds general trade. The PROPOSE
ton is being discussed by the Farm
ers' alliance to reduce the acreage of
cotton, and by that means secure a
better price for what cotton is raised
but this would be impracticable be-
cause when enc man would reduce
his acreage another would increase it
SO as to have more cotton to secure
higher price. The coming year will
be test one with cotton planters
and if the big crop does not COM
mand higher price than the big
crop now being marketed, it will be
an object lesson to them, that may
induce them to partially abandon
a crop that scarcely brings them the
price of the labor which produced
it, and cause them to turn their at
tention to stock farming and raising
more wheat, oats, hay and corn,
which they now purchase from the
great northwest. The northwest has
produced this year, the largest
wheat crop ever known, and the
wheat supply in Europe svery short
which will give American wheat an
immense market that may bring
about revival of speculation in all
branches of business, and may even
cause a very active demand for the
great southern product, cotton, as
the season advances.
