HERE YOU ARE,

1t will be remembered that the
Waterman made some wholesale
charges against Mr.. Cleveland recently.
Much of the evidence was circumstan-
tial, but all of the charges had been re-
peatedly published and in such a way
that the writer believed them to be
facts, especially as no denials were
forthcoming. If we become satisfied
that any of them are untrue, we will
so state in the future. Several papers
have said some hard things about the
Waterman, but not one of them have
shown that the statements are untrue.
Mr.. Cleveland's public record is public
property and we shall act accordingly.
Among others, the Charlotte Observer
said some ugly things, going so far as
to pronounce the Waterman a liar and
nearly all the charges made as base
lies. or words to that effect. The
chances are that the Observer will lose
much more than it gained by that
severe arraignment. The Observer
should remember that the Waterman
is not a paper that will quietly allow
anyone to question its veraclty with
out making a long pull for v~indicatlon.
Much has been said about the pen
sion resolution attachedto the st. Louis
conference platform. Democratic
papers in the South have raised an aw-
full howl. Among other things the
Waterman said Cleveland was a "pen-
sion grabber," he having signed more
pension bills than any Republican
President. This the Observer pro-
nounced a lie, But, to use a slang

The prospects for a good yield of cot
ton are gloomy on account of so much
rain.
With this and the present outlook of
national affairs, many hearts are ready
to give up the fight. Fully realizing
that lowering clouds of disaster and
poverty hang over This great republic,
and on account of existing laws thous-
ands and tens of thousands of our best
people are being swept yearly into the
vortex of financial ruin, let the patri-
accord and sweep from the face of the
earth as if with one mighty avalanche
the perpetrators of their ills and
wrongs. very truly yours,

TESTING COWS

COWS
To those who do not keep COWS vo
would urge them seriously to raise IA
male calves and breed them to come
into milking at about 80 months od,
81 to 80 months is better for a well
grown young COW.
The Germans have a prOverb that
the hoOf of the sheep is golden, but
we believe in the COW and her produces
to help III farmers if they will but
give her a thorough trial.
To those who keep many COWS We
would say you had better test YOU,
COWS, for you do not know which ones
are living on the products of the 9th.
ers. There are drones and workers
among COWS as among bees and men.
You must discover the drones to dis.
card them; and the best ones to treas.
ure them the more.
One way to test a COW is to put one
days milk aside and churn the whole
of it by itself and repeat for every COW
kept at stated intervals, but it is a deal
of extra work. A simple way, how.
ever, is to buy a Babcock Tester and
test the amount of fat in every cows
milk. Of course in order to make
proper test you will have every cows
milk weighed, a simple thing, and then
a short calculation will show which
are paying and which.are not.-F E.

A TEST OF SOME COWS IN A WELL KNOW
DAIRY.
Messrs. W. G.. Upchurch & Bro. have
become convinced that some of the
COWS in their Rhamkatte dairy are
much better than others, and, in fact,
they have been feeding some of them
at an expense greater than their pro
ducts have been worth.
In order to begin a test of this he
arranged to have MI. @. E Seymour,
of the Agricultural and Mechanical
College, visit the dairy and make q
few trials with the Babcock tester 70
determine the percentage of fat in the
milk, under the direction Of the AgFl
cultUrist of the N. @. Experiment Sta
ton.
Accordingly on May 25th Mr.. sgy
mour made the following trials, which
show enough to prove Mr.. Upchurchs
convictions to have been we | founded
and that even in so we'll selected a hera
as his thoroughbred Jerseys, it will pay
him to select further in the light tne
Babcock tester can throw on DIS

thought, as I think it will give relief
promptly and with very little addi-

First. Assess each male member 10
cents per quarter for the purpose of
raising a relief fund.
Second. Let the secretary of each
