The true policy of the cotton grower
is to raise his own suppiies-his own
corn, his own meat, cattle and stock
and when he has provided for an abun-
dance of these for his own use, let him
put his surplus labor. and surplus land
into cotton, and let him make cotton his
surplus crop. Under such system ev-
cry cent he receives for this surplus
crop, whether it sells for six or twelve
cents, will be clear profit, and he will
iind himself more prosperous when SELL
ing it at six cents than he would be un-
der the all cotton plau, selling it at If
teen cents. This is a scheme which the
world cannot beat, because it ia in &C.
cOrdance with sound economic and ire.

asTbe question of good roads is one
that is agitating the minds of the PEG.
pie all over the country. 1t is one of
great interest and the time is close at
hand when the masses of the people
will have roads that can be used at all
times, without danger to man or beast
A new system must be devised by which
the public roads will be maintained
properly, and kept in passable condi-
ton.

Run Down by a Horse.

The REPORTER has uttered repeated
protests against cattle and horses being
allowed to run the streets. When big
suit for damages is met by the city we
will begin to realize that pasturage is
cheaper to be had than lawyers to fight
damage suits. Not always are claims
against city for damages Just or right
but there are always people ready to
take any advantage that will bring the
almighty dollar to their pockets. Last
week as the schildren were on their
way home from the Catholic school a
gray colt that has been a nuisance all
summer to that part of town, run down
and trampeled on little girl named
Katie Corcoran. She was picked up un-
concious and conveyed home and has
been under physicians care since.
Only a little time ago a Milwaukee
paper told of a horse attacking and kill
ing child who was on the way to church.
We protest against animals running the
streets, even if nothing worse happens
than frightening timid women and
children we owe it to every resident
that they may enjoy the privileges of
the city without fear or danger.
