THE cow PEA.

The North boasts of its clever as
a forage crop and fertilizer, but the
South, while able to raise the finest
clover, has a greater treasure in
cow peas The peas should be cut,
in the morning and on the morning
of the second day after cutting they
should be hauled to the barn. a
good farmer has grapple hooks in his
barn so as to unload his wagon in
few minutes. Much valuable time
is wasted in the old-iashioned way.
Farm animals love a change of tod
der, and nothing delights them more
than well-cured pea vine hay. The
stubble ploughed under is match
less fertilizer.
Cow peas are also excellent for
human diet. They are highly nu-
trltious boiled Or made into soup.
By judicious favoring this soup is
worth being steady visitor on any
mans table.
Southern farmers generally ap-
pleciate the value OF COW peas, but
this is one crop that can not. be too
much cultivated.

DUES MONEY GOVERN COTTON
PRICES!


There are great many men in
this country who honestly believe
that the price of American cotton
tiuctuates or varies according to the
amount OF money in circulation.
These men ridicule the idea that
supply and demand have anything
to do with the price of cotton. We
accredit these, our fellow citizens,
with perfect honesty in the views
they entertain ON this question.
But are their views correct? Is
the position assumed by them on
this question tenable? Are they
supported by the facts that make up
the record of the past bearing on
this question? Are they not basing
their arguments relative to the price
of cotton on the unsupported declar-
alton of others who have not thor
oughly investigated the matter so as
to ascertain the real truth?
TO bring up this matter clearly,
let us ask, who fixes, and where is
the price of cotton fixed? Is it done
by the spinners Of America? is it
done by the cotton spectators of
this country? Is the price of our
cotton fixed in New York? Where
is the great cotton mart Of the world
and what market controls and sets
the prices OF the worlds cotton?
Now it is known and accorded
fact that Europe buys the bulk of
American cotton. 1t is conceded
TACT that the cotton market of Liver
pool, governs the cotton prices
throughout the world. This being
true, then what does the amount of
money in circulation in this country
have to do with fixing the price of
our cotton?
What are the recorded facts bear
ing directly on this question About
fourteen years ago there were in
circulation in our government frac-
ton over fifteen dollars per capita,
Then our cotton sold for IL cents.
Now the circulation is fraction
over twenty-three dollars per capita,
and cotton is selling fer 81 cents.
In other words the amount of money
in circulation in this country now is
60 per cent. greater. than it was four
teen years ago, and the price of cot
ton is forty per cent. lower than it
was then. These are facts supported
by the records. Do they argue that
the amount of money in circulation
in this country controls the rice of
cotton?
We present these facts because
there are many men among us who
honestly believe that the price of
cotton fuctuates or is controlled by
the contraction or expansion of our
currency.
The real truth is that the amount
of cotton produced in America, sup
plemented with the cotton from In
dia and other countries, where it il
produced much cheaper than we can
produce it, affects and we may say
governs the price of cotton. This
has been true in the past, is true
now, and will remain true in the
future, despite the under consump>
ton and scarcity otmoney argument.
Therefore the whole truth, from
which there is no lodging, is,that if
the cotton growers OF America
would realize profit from their
cotton, they must reduce the crop
to the worlds demands and devote
more Of their lands to food products.
And if they continue to pile up sur
plus cotton, poverty and bankruptcy
will be the inevitable result.-For-
syth Advertiser.

REPUBLICAN,,

TO vote the full Republican ticket a cross
mark must be placed in the manner indi-
Gated above, opposite the word Republican
above each group, or wherever it appears
on the ticket"
In his official instructions sent from the
state committee headquarters throughout
the commonwealth, Chairman Reeder SAYS
IF the voter desires to vote the STRAIGHT
PARTY TICKET, or in other words. for all
the candidates on the Republican ticket,
he can do so by makinga IA cross mark, thus
Y, in the square or margin opposite and to
the RIGHT of the word Republican at the
head or top of each Republican group.
This single mark or cross will be equiv
alent to cross mark against every name
in such Republican group, and will be
counted as one vote for each Republican
candidate named. Each group in the Re
publican column must be similarly marked
with a cross.
This year Qs92) there will be the fol-
lowing groups in the Republican ticket, to
wit; /. State ticket, embracing candidate
for supreme court judge, two candidates
Tor congressman at large, and thirty
two candidates for electors q Candidate
for congress. g. Candidate for state sena-
tor (where such official is to be elected)
tive. 3. Candidate for Judge (where such
official is to be elected 6. County candi-
dates To vote the full Republican ticket
a cross must be made for each of these
groups. A single cross at the top of
the ticket simply votes for the state
ticket, or those in the first group. Such
ballot would not be counted for the can
didates for congress, state senator, etc. FIN
the city and county of Philadelphia sep.
arate conventions are held to nominate the
several candidates on the county ticket.
For each county office, therefore, there is
separate group on the official ballot. In
the other counties, however, where the
same convention nominates ALL THE
COUNTY CANDIDATES, the latter are included
in single group. In other words, the
number of Republican certificates of NOM
ination determine the number of Republi.
can groups. |"

BEFORE 5 AFTER"
OF THE BALLOT
The New System of Voting
Is Very Simple.
How to Mark the Ticket Shown
at a Glance.

An Erroneous Impression That
Should lie Dispclled as the Easiest
Thing About the New Election Law
Is the Part the Voter Has to Take.
Chairman Reeder. of the Republican
state committee, has issued warning to
the party organization throughout the
state not TO permit voters to become inn
bued with the idea that there is anything
difficult or confusing about the marking
Of the ballot under the new law to those
who have not studied the subject. This is
really the simplest part of the new system
Of voting That fact should be impressed
upon every voter
The greatest complaints that have been
raised against the new law relate to the
conflicting provisions of various sections
Of the act, which is very crudely drawn,
and the unnecessary and complicated ma.
chinery required in the certification Of
nominations and the printing of the tick
cts and the substitution Of party rules for
the laws of the commonwealth.
Marking the Ballot is Simple.
No one who has studied the law will say
that there is anything difficult about the
marking Of the ballot. In fact as far as
the voter is concerned, the new law pre-
sents many advantages over the old sys-
tenn
The impression that has gotten abroad
that voters who go to the polls for the first
time will experience trouble in marking
their ballots properly, is entirely erroneous.
If the matter is not explained it is cal
culated to keep some citizens away from
the polls next month, from timidity or a
fear that they may appear ignorant.
Chairman Reeder suggests a simple
method of instructing Republicans how to
vote for their party nominees
Place cross mark in the square to the
right of the word Republican wherever the
word Republican appears on the ballot"
says General Reeder, 'and you will vote
the straight Republican ticket"

the square opposite it appear on the ballot

Traits in the Character of the Sa ae
of Gray Gables, the Greatest
American Ofice Seeker of tho
Nineteenth Century.
One of the most truthful and graphic
pen pictures of Grover Cleveland that has
ever been drawn is from the pen Of Joseph
O'Connor, of Rochester. He thus depicts
the man, who, as Bourke Cochran says, is
popular every day in the year except one,
and that is election day: "He is man of
ordinary capacities, defective training,
selfish disposition and somewhat coarse
nature who met with unexpected success;
who was minded to take honors soberly,
but lost his head; who had an instinct to-
ward integrity. but failed to follow IL; who
was constrained by circumstances to pro
fess many things he did not believe and
some he did not understand. A more un-
heroic figure never posed for popular adj
miration. His career is unmarked by any
act of self sacrifice or by any self achieve
mcnt, and it is sustained by faults of con-
duct, many OF which it is difficult to ex-
cuse, and some of which it is impossible
to palliate. The best that can be said of
him is he has done well for himself" And
that is the picture of Grover Cleveland
drawn by a New York Democrat who
knows him well
