MISSOURI ELECTORAL DISTRICTS

MISSOURI ELECTORAL DISTRICTS.
Governor Francis yesterday gave
out for publication the subjoined let.
te. from Hon. E. H. Norton, of
Platte county, ex.Chief Justice Of the
Supreme Court, in regard to reds,
tricting the state:
Platte City, December Hon.
DR.. r. Francis, Jefferson City: Dear
Sir am just in RECEIPT of your
favor of the 18th ult., in which you
request to know my opinion as to the
proper construction OF section 1883 OF
our Revised Statutes, which reads as
follows
"When any new spportionment shall be
made Of the members to be elected to the
house of representative of the United
States, whereby the number OF electors 10
which this state may be entitled shall be
increased or diminlshed. it shall he the
duty of the governor to lay OF the state
into % many electoral districts as shall be
equal to the number Of electors to which
this state may be entitled, so that the said
0lDtPlct0 CO0S8lOs ~ oC8a - AAAoy ~
equal number of inhabitants"
Under section l, article 2, OF the
constitution of the United States
each state is entitled to appoint or
.elect Q number of electors equal to
the whole number of senators and
representatives to which the state
may be entitled in the congress, and
such electors are to be chosen in such
manner o. the Legislature thereof may
direct, The above section
establishes the rule for the ascertain
menI of the number of electors to
which any state may be entitled, and
Applying it to the new sPportoinmeH
made BY the congress our state is en-
titled to seventeen electors instead o
ixteen under the old or former ap
portionment. The number of elector
to which the state il entitled undo
the new apportionment having beeI
thus increased, the contingency au
thorizing you to perform the duty i'm
posed by section 1859 of our Revise'
Statutes of laying of the state int
electoral districts has happened Q
exists. In the performance of thi
duty the statutes expressly provides
in plain and unambiguous language
that the number Of electoral district
into which the state shall be laid o
ihall be equal to the number OF cleo
tors to which the state may be EMIT
led. and that the districts shall col
tain "a near as may be An equal nun
her of inhabitants. As the stat
under the new apportionment, is el
titled to seventeen electors think
clear that if you enter upon the dui
imposed by the statute, the number
electoral districts into which you Ia
# of must be equal to the number
electors to which the state is entities
There 10 no ambiguity in the words
the statute, and when such is the ca
no rule of construction ID more hrm
established thar that the plain ar
ordinary meaning is to be applied
them.
I can see no reason for apprehen
ing that the electoral vote of the sta
viii not be counted should the SITS
he divided into electoral districts
proyided in said section 1853, 81
should the electors be chosen by Il
voters of the state in conformity wi
the requirements of sections 2St
1856, revised statutes. Respectful
yours, Z. q. NohfoS'

Such building was never con-
structed at any exposition, and its
construction here shows that the Board
of Directors purposed afording
every desirable facility that they
could furnish to aid the great live
stock and agricultural interests.
Close by the Agricultural Building
and its annex are buildings for the
forestry and dairy exhibits. These
measure, respectively, aoox5oo and
o5x2oo feet. In the Forestry Building
the visitor may see a very extensive
exhibitit illustrating forestry resources
and products. In the Dairy Building
he may be pupil of a dairy school,,
scientifically conducted, and may watch
the tests which will determine the re-
spective merits of different breeds ol
cattle as milk producers.
The Agricultural Building covers
more than nine acres, and its annex
about 3.5 acres. The Forestry and
Dairy Buildings together cover about
three acres. The Live Stock build.

expensive construction, cover about
thirty acres All OF these structures

the design is bold and heroic. The
general cornice line is IS feet above
grade. On either side Of the main
entrance are mammoth Corinthian
pillars, 50 feet high and 5 feet in di-
ameter. On each corner and from
the centre of the building pavilions
are reared, the centre one being 144
feet square. The corner payilions are
connected by curtains, forming a con-
tinuous arcade around the top of the
building. The main entrance leads
through an opening Ga feet wide into
vestibule, from which entrance is
had to the rotunda, 100 feet in diam
eter. This is surmounted by man.
moth glass dome, 13o feet high. All
through the main vestibule statuary
has been designed, illustrative of the
agricultural industry. Simllur designs
are grouped about all the grand en-
frances in the most elaborate manner.
The corner pavilions are surmounted
by domes o6 feet high, and above
these tower groups of statuary. The
design for these domes is that of three
women, of herculean proportions, sup
porting a mammoth globe.

FARMING VS.. PLANTING.

We frequently hear men speak about
resting land, particularly in the cotton
belt. BY resting they mean allowing
a field to lie year or two between
crops of cotton and grow up in all
kinds of weeds and grass and ripen
quantities of seed to give trouble i'll
future crops.
Now, as we before remarked, we
can not stimulate inert matter, neither
can we rest it. Land does not get
tired. it gets starved. The so-called
practice of resting is little better IN
some respects than the annual clean
culture of cotton, inasmuch as the wild
growth protects the land from the sun
and furnishes little vegetable matter
to plow under. But the true way to
rest land is to keep it at work raising
crops that will give food to the soil
and enable it to produce larger crops.
The true use Of commercial fertil-
izers is to give healthy growth OF re-
Operative crops, between our sale
CROPS to enable US to feed stock and
raise more home made manure and
to store up nitrogen for other crops
And herein consists the difference be-
tween the farmer and the planter. Ths
first uses fertilizers freely to enable
him to make a store of fertility in hi
eo;l ,nd thence draw dividends in III,
shape of constantly increasing crops
while the planter draws on the origina

THE SHEPHERD AND THE LAMBS.

Unto the margin of a flowing river
The Eastern shepherd leads his timid
sheep:
He calls them on, but they stand still and
TO them them the stream seems wide and
swift and deep.
He calls them on, but they in fear are
standing
He calls them on, but on they dare not
go;
They heed not now the voice of his COM
manding,
They ONLY hear the rivers fearful flow.
Then, from the side Of one protecting
mother,
A lamb the shepherd takes unto his
breast;
And then he gently bends. and takes an
And in his arms the two lambs lie, at
rest.
They lie at rest, and, as he close entolds
He bears them safely DER the river wide;
The little lambs know we'll the arm that
holds them,
They nestle warmly and are satisfied.
Then the fond mothers, with maternal
longing,
LOOK on DeSOnu lndt rlVST ledIl III iloN !,
They can but follov, and, behind them
thrOnging,
Their tleecy comrades are in haste to go.
Drawn by a love stronger than any shrink
ing,
Their lambs they follow over any tide,
They heed not now the swimming or the
sinking,
They brave the stream, and reach the
farther side.
And while the tender shepherd kindly
feeds them,
They think no longer upon what hath

and tight.
Across the stream your little one is taken
That you may fear no more its quick

lust now the need of better country
roads comes home with full force to
our people. There is way out of
the mire, and that way is stated by
the Asheville Citizen in the following
two paragraphs:
With every convict in the State at
work upon tine public roads, upon a
system approved by the most advanced
students and practical engineers on
this question, it will not be many
years before every farmer in North
Carolina will have realized how fool
ish he has been in being SO long con-
tent with the continuity Of mud holes
and ruts, misnamed roads, over which
he has killed his stock and hauled dis
gracefully small loads, as his fathers
did before him.
Scientifically built maCadam roads
is what North Carolina needs, and
will have sooner or later.
