CHAMPION HOG RAISERS.
The Largest and Best Farmers in Alb
beville County.

Mr.. VIM. Wilson and bis sons, Messrs. John
Wilson and Samuel L. Wilson, are the largest
and most successful farmers in this county.
They own and lease about thirty-five hum
dred acres OF land, OF which about one. half is
in original forest, pastures OF about five hun.
dred acres and much waste land. In 1888
they and their tenants made enough cotton TO
pack $50 bales of 400 pounds each. In addl-
ton to this they made corn, fodder, oats,
wheat, and barley enough TO support the
place.
They don't raise many hogs, but they have
a large stock OF sheep and cattle. Their hogs,
though few In number, are the finest In the
county. They killed two on Monday OF last
week aged six months and seven days. One
weighed gross 24O, and netted POI; the other
weighed gross 22o and netted 1876. Before this
they killed five OF the same stock aged thir-
teen months. They weighed net from 260 to
$50 pounds.
When men can do as well as this, where is
the use OF dissatisfaction, and why tell us
that you can't make more than four bales OF
cotton TO the horse, and have no hogs. no
sheep. no cows. no oats, no corn, no mule
colts?
Gentlemen, there is no use to tell us that
there is necessity for starvation and burden
some debts. Look around your own place
and see " here the leaks are.

Reducing the Pay Of Legislators.


We believe the Legislature, which has just
adjourned, has passed an act, reducing tue
salaries of various State officers, and among
other reductions. they reduced their own pay
to 81 per day.
The Press and Banner ventures to suggest
that, whatever may have been the merits OF
the other reductions, the best interests OF the
people will not be subserved by this particu-
lar spasm Of economy.
Before the war, when money was OF more
consequence than the rights and privileges OF
the poor, and when representation was oo-
tanned in the Legislature in consequence OF
wealth, the pay Of a Legislator was 81 day.
The price was fixed at this low figure presnm-
ably with a view OF discouraging the poor
man from aspiring TO a seat In the legisia-
ture. With the pay only 81 day for thirty or
forty days, a poor man could Ill afford to
spend three months before the election can
yassing the county, to secure place Where
there was 80 little pay. Rich men could az
ford 1t, and they made up the majority Of the
General Assembly, and assumed TO take care
of the poor mans rights while looking after
the rich mans interests.
When the Republicans come into power IN
1858, they realized tne sltuatlon anu hi"uo 'o@
pay S5 day, so as TO enable Legislator 10 De
Reimbursed for his actual expense.
After 1876, the old spirit, or something else'
has asserted itself occasionally, and spasmod'
ic efforts have been made ever since 10 raise
the bar against the poorer members Of the
General Assembly. Ability and patllotlc
zeal belongs to no class Of men. It's greatly
divided, but there is no doubt that the rich, II
they were allowed to I'LL the seats Of the Gen
eral Assembly and make all the laws, would
be willing to 60 TO Columbia without any pay
at all.
AS the rights Of the citizen is of vastly
more importance than difference OF one
cent in our taxes, the people should demand
that the former pay Of members of the Gen.
eral Assembly be restored. 1t is necessary
that the doors of the General Assembly be not
closed against the representatives of the great
mass OF the people. The pay should be high
enough to secure the best talent. and that tai
ent should be drawn from every walk of life
regardless of riches or poverty.

stole His wife's Property.

Hyman Late, a Russian Jew, who has
done an extensive business in peddling
small wares in Waterville, was arrested
Friday on divorce proceedings. He re-
fused to allow a divorce to be granted
his wife unless she paid him alimony.
A conference was held and sum agreed
upon to be paid when the papers were
completed. With this agreement he was
released and left on the afternoon train
for New York, as was supposed. No
sooner had he left town than it was dis
covered that he had stolen his wife's gold
watch and chain and other articles of
value, including his Jewish marriage
certificate. A warrant was issued for
him and the Portland police were tele-
graphed to arrest him, but he could not
be found on the arrival of the train in
Portland. 1t is thought that he left the
train at Danyille Junction and went to
Canada over the Grand Trunk road.

the subject of much deep thought be-

toilet to be carried upon the eventful
trip were reduced to minimum. The
wedding took place in the summer, and
the conventional travelling bag was re-
placed by white lace parasol. This was

WARD SIX BALLOTS.
A Letter of Explanation from Warden
Gray.
To the Editor Of the Press:

To the Editor Of the Press:
AS there seems to be a doubt in the
minds of some gentlemen in regard to
the disposal of the ballots of Ward 6 in
the September election, l am asked to
publish a statement whysthe Ward s bal
lots were not returned to the city clerk.
AS is known the warden must give the
city clerk receipt for the ballots, and
in turn the ballot clerks give a receipt to
the warden. When the voting is over
the ballot clerks return the unused bal
lots to the city clerk and get his receipt.
This makes the warden responsible for
the ballots in the box.
In the September election the city
clerk notified me. that when the votes
had been counted. to place them back in
the box to seal it by placing some paper
over the top and he would call for them
in the morning. AS there was no law
for the disposal of voted ballots, and as
I was responsible declined to do this
without the city clerk would give me a
receipt for them as they had been voted.
Since | have been warden a representa-
tive from each party has assisted in the
counting of the votes, Alderman Rog
ers assisting me in this election as a rep
resentative of the Democratic party. He
also kindly assisted me to carry the
bundle to my house. Agreeing
with me that this was the
right thing to do. The ballots are in my
possession today, tied up exactly as AL
derman Rogers and myself tied them.
and this fact has been known to many
representatives of the Democratic party,
who for reasons best known to them
selves have not seen fit to dispute the
statement that they have been burned.
I trust this statement will remove all
doubt in regard to the disposal of Ward
ballots.
EDWIN A. GRAY,
Warden, Ward 6.
