, STATE CAMPAIGN.

F. M. Clifton in Coosa River News: I have known Col. William c. Oates for thirty two years. knew him as a soldier, as a colonel and as a statesman. 1 found him jolly and clever in private life, and as a colonel he WAS ever looking out for the interest of his men in ths thickess of the f1ght-he was ever thinking of the con- dtion of his army. He could always be found at the head of his men giving words of encouragement in free and fearless manner. He was never heard to give the command HGo ahead, boys'" but tCome on, boys," could always be heard above the roar of battle. This is the kind of a man you have to vote for if you vote the democratic ticket. He heads it and will lead it to victory in August. So save your pass and come in for democracy in August.

JUDGE JOHN B. TALLEY Now Before the Supreme Court
 Under Impeachment FOR AIDING TO MURDER R. c. Ross at Stevenson, Ala. Six Witnesses Heard-5O
 to Testify.
FOR AIDING TO MURDER

HUNTSVILLE, July 2. = Tsp ,cial. r. The supreme court of Alabama convened here at 10 o'clock this morning to try the impeachment case of the stale against John B. Talley, judge of the Ninth Judicial cir cult.
 The information and counts therein charge Judge Talley with the murder of R. c. Ross, the banker of Scottsboro, in that he aided and abetted Robert, John, Walter (Tot) and Jim Skelton in killing Ross on the 4th of February last in Stevenson, Ala, by sending telegram from Scottsboro that morning to William Huddleston, the tele- graph operator at Stevenson, to not let the party warned (meaning Ross) get away, and say nothing.
 It is alleged E. H. Ross, a brother, had sent R. o. Ross a telegram to Stevenson warning him of the pursuit of the Skelton boys, which it is charged Talley knew about; that he had consulted with the Skelton boys before leaving Scottsboro that morning; that he knew and indorsed their mission, and as peace officer failed to say or do anything to stop the Skelton boys and prevent them from committing the murder.
 In his answer Judge Talley positively de- nies these charges in detail and says the telegram he sent was to prevent the Skel- ton boys from killing Ross; that he had no Knowledge whatever of their leaving Scottsboro when they did, nor of their pur- pose.
 Only six witnesses were examined tbis afternoon. J. D. Langston, Joe DeIzell, B. Sanders and J. L. Armstrong of Steven son, who gave in detail the killing of Ross, and c. M. Houton and Lee Grider of Hol- lywood, which is on the public road from Scottsboro to Stevenson, and who saw the Ross party pass about o'clock that morn- ing in a closed hack and about two hours afterwards the 5kelton boys in pursuit, armed and on horseback.
 The evidence today in no way whatever implicated Judge Talley. All this evidence is submitted subject 10 exceptions by tho defendants, which will be argued and passed on by the court at the conclusion.
 About fifty witnesses will be examined

BEDDING FOR HOGS,

The best bedding for hogs is corn
fodder Or slower, writes D. A. Kent.
1t is best because less heating Hogs
lay close together, and when nestled
in straw get too warm, because the
air cannot circulate through the bed
ding. They cannot bury themselves
in the stover as they do in the straw,
and, therefore, do not get SO warm.
This heat causes excessive sweating
The sweating effects catching cold and
all the consequent disorders. It also
musts the straw and generates very of
fensive odors. The slower is compare
lively free from rust and other fun
goids which affect the straw of wheat,
oats and barley. Flax straw is the
next best. Slower is good bedding for
the young pigs; and if it. is cut up
there is nothing better. It is even
better than dry leaves. If straw is
used it must be changed every day,
while stover will last for several DAYS.
The order of values for the different
straws should be: first, stover; sec
ond, fax straw; third, rye straw
fourth, wheat straw; fifth, barley
straw; sixth, oat straw. The basis OF
this classification rests on the liability
to pack together and on the injurious
effects of fungoids. Every farmer is
familiar with the fact that sheaf of
oats or barley If bound little damp
or green will mould in the centre ::
that sheaf of wheat is less liable to
such bad effects, and a sheaf of rye
still less, while shock of corn fodder
will scarcely mould in either case
These properties govern their value as
litter. Rural Life.

Hunting Deer With Cats.

Our veracious contemporary, the
Bangor News, is responsible for the
following-at least we have failed to
trace its authority back any further
than the News columns: "a verE
novel sight was witnessed at the Will
Gmantic spool works recently A deer
was seen running rapidly past the
works closely pursued by three house
cats. AS they neared the river one Of
the cats thought to take ride on the
back of the deer. She gained the DO
sition and lost it quickly and the deer
SWAN across the river The cats.
nothing daunted, moved quickly up
the stream to the bridge, crossed over
dry-shod and sped on in pursuit of the
flying deer once more. Had it been
dogs that thus openly defed the laws
the wardens would have been invest:-
eating the matter ere now AS it is,
where is the law that reads 500 fine
for chasing deer with cats? The cats
were owned by citizens of the place
who are well known. They should be
warned to keep their eats chained, or
farmers with small stock in their barns
should see that the doors are kept
closed. Maine Spokesman.

SMALL BUT SURE PROFIT.

Farmers make smaller percentage
on their investments probably than
any other class. The merchant, banker
and manufacturer would go out of
business if his visible income from his
investment was no more than the
farmers, yet Notwithstanding that
this is indisputably true, it is fact,
nevertheless, that there is a. smaller
percentage of failures among farmers
than any other class. More than this,
there is large percentage of farmers
get we'll to do in this worlds goods
and provide themselves and families
a good living than any other class.
This being the case, we certainly con-
clude that it pays to work for small
income. Especially is this true when
in the case of the farmer the income
is steady one year with another.

FRESH BUTTER.

Foreigners who come to this coun-
try universally complain of American
butter. They do not find it good, be-
cause it does not suit their palates,
and Americans on first going abroad
complain that the "butter is SO in
sipid." The writer has often seen salt
added at table 1t is remarkable, how
ever, how quickly they, too, learn to
prefer the fresh butter to that which
is heavily sailed.
The demand for slightly sailed but
ter is growing in this country, and it
is to be hoped that it will spread rap
idly, and remove one great obje ction
to american butter" in the eyes of
Europeans. We are hardly aware how
much it has hurt our foreign market
There is really no necessity for so
much salt. Good, firm butter can be
kept for two or three months fresh,
and if done up in neat, new packages,
will command high prices. This is the
dairyman's opportunity. It means
winter dairying, of course, and it also
means big profits to the energetic man.

claimed, whether accurately or not,
that in an area of 80, 900 square miles
1O0G square miles of wheat suffer
loss of five bushels per acre. If this
is go, the lowest possible estimate of
value per bushel would make the loss
more than million dollars. Truly an

withdraw their value from domestic
resources, but most of them render in
some form n quid pro quo. These
foreign accessions not only cause great
present loss but threaten to increase
and overrun the country, choking out
useful production to the extent of
many millions annually. If taken IN
hand few years ago this pest could
have been stamped out with compare
tive ease Now it is a difficult prob
lem, for which farmers are beginning
to seek a solution seriously. Already
a Dakota member of Congress has in
troduced bill appropriating mil
lion dollars for its extirpation. If
Congress cannot constitutionally or
equitably vote money to aid in the
extinction of the gypsy moth in
Massachusetts, scarcely see how legls-
lators can consistently make appro-
priations toward stamping out the
Russian thistle in Dakota. Practical
common sense might suggest solu-
ton of such economic questions In
two ways; First, in the fact that in
each district there is likely to be
some weed or insect or disease affect
ing animal or vegetable life with
which the individual cannot cope, and
which deies State jurisdiction by
crossing iLcontinently State lines;
and, second, that though now limited
area is affected, there is danger of de-
VISITATION of the whole country. In the
consideration of such questions
breadth and comprehensiveness of
view, as we'll az practical sense and
just reason, are requisite. Country

The Kind OF Man Women Like:

Probably the best thing that was
ever written on the interesting ques-
ton of what women like in men is
summed up in the idea that women
like a man who can be strong as a lion
when trouble comes and yet if one is
nervous and tired can button up
shoe with an amount of confederation
that is mental and physical bracer-
up. They like man who likes them,
who doesn't scorn their opinions, who
believes in their good taste, who has
confidence in them and wit enough to
realize that when one of the fairer sex
is slightly stubborn persuasion is more
powerful than all the arguments Ill the
world. Free Press.

HOW TO JUDGE WOOL.

The finest and softest woolis always
on the shoulders of the sheep. Anex
pert on Judging sheep always looks al
the wool on the shoulders first. A
writer of experience IN rearing fine
wooded sheep and in handling wool
gives tho following suggestions for
selecting good wooded sheep:
Always assuming that the wool to be
inspected is really fine, we first ex-
anime tho shoulders as part where
the finest wool is to be found. This
we take as standard, and compare it
with the wool from the ribs, the thigh,
the rump and shoulder parts, and the
nearer the wool from the various por-
tions of the animal approaches the
standard the better. First we scrutin-
ize the ineness, and if the result is
satisfactory we pronounce the fleece in
respect of fneness ''even." Next we
scrutinize the length of the staple,
and if we find that the wool on the
ribs, thigh and back approximates
reasonably in length to that of our
standard We again declare the fleece
as regards length of staple, ''true and
even" We next satisfy ourselves as
to the density of t fleece, and we do
this by closing the hands upon por-
tion of the rump and loin wool, these
points being usually the thinnest and
most faulty. If this again gives salts
faction we designate all the wool
"even as to density" Now, to sum-
Marie these separate examinations ::
If the fleece is nearly of equal length
on shoulder, rib and back, and density
on shoulder and across the loins, we
conclude that We have perfect sheep
for producing valuable wool. Wool

THE COST OF WEEDS.

Weeds have been described as
'plants out of place" The intrusion
of plant in field occupied by
another as crop, makes the intruder
a weed. Crab grass in cotton field
is pest that consumes much of the
time of the cotton cultivator; and vet
the planter declares that it makes ex-
cellent hay. A list of weeds gathered
from experiment stations enumerates
about $50 different plants, and this
list includes crab grass, cocks foot,
green foxtail, sweet clover, quack
grass, pawpaw, tulip mint, and many
others that may have their uses in
their proper place, which are a posi-
tive nuisance when they interfere with
a growth desired by the cultivator.
And yet this list, large as it is, does
not include the Russian thistle, new
importation, which is rapidly over
summing the Dakotas; and it is
