On Saturday, 9TH News" printed a de-
tailed sketch of the life of Chancellor
McGill. 1t was a pleasant story to read
1t was a tale of high trusts confided by
the people, and administered with ability
and honor so that the confidence of the
people was justified.
The mental and moral attitude OF the
man was fully e~xempliied in that extract
from his great Judgment, overthrowins
the coal combine and forcing a reduction
to the poor in the price of this prime
necessary Of life. And yet ,McGil is no
demagogue. No man has done higher
service tina he has to capital. He has
saved more millions, imperilled by mis-
fortune or error, to the community than
any living man. To sum him up in a
word. we might say that he was just,
fair. upright towards all claims. all in
~terests; but his sympathies are with the
great toiling, struggling masses of the
people.
To-day, we publish a similar sketch of
the Republican candidate. How great the
contrast! In John ". Griggs we nave the
man whose whole career is jaundieed by
devotion to the cause of gold. No man
is really a man in John w. Griggs' eyes
unless he owns a million; he has hardly
a right to live if he owns less than a
hundred thousand dollars. Of course, it
is different around election time. To-day,
Griggs will shake any mans hand, how
ever dirty. He can even consort with
'Lish Gaddish. .Dick' Reading and the
rest of the crew who make the corrup-
ton of our politics their trade.
But, however great his love for a rich
man, it is a faint pale thing beside his
worship of a corporation. He loves a
charter; vested rights of organized capt.
tai are the principles of his highest cult;
a franchise is dearer to his heart than the
finest discovery of science. Such is John
". Griggs in one aspect.
But when he turns his face TO the poor
man, the toiler, the newer OF wood and
drawer of water, the state of his soul is
best Illustrated by an old Jingle which ap-
pcarec in London Punch" more than
twenty years ago. It was called "The
Plant of the British Capitalist" a bird,
by the way, of the game feather as our
own corporation agent. A few lines of
1t, we recall, appear to US SO cxquisitely
apropos, that we will quote them from
memory.
British Capitalist Loquitur:-
So long as they'll work for low wages,
And every fresh hand one engages
Means a little moro profit,
One doesn't think of it;
But their sicknesses. wants and old ages
Are things that drive me into RACES.
Sir, the poor should be shot when they're
old.
And then sold
At so much a pound to the knaeker.
This seems TO be very much in the line
of the man who voted against the bill
to save children from being wantonly
manned by machinery. against the bill
to provide lofts Where girls were employ
ed with fire escapes; against the Satur-
day half-holiday bill; the Labor Day bin
and an other measures introduced in the
interest of the nottingham, and who
finally declared that such things made
him tired.

The rerious Illness of Mrs. Robert

in circulation on Saturday that she was
dead. The immediate cause of the rumor
was the publication of an advertisement

ALL RIGHT.

Our people will be in better condi,
ton this fall than at any time since the
war. This may be regarded by some
as an extravagant and unfounded as
sertion, but it is literally true. There
has not been sack of corn brought
out of Canton during the entire sea-
son. This is a thing that has not hap
pened in years. Our people made fine
crops of corn generally last year and
those who had to buy were supplied
near home and the money kept here.
There will be raised this year the finest
corn crops this country has ever
grown. We have more hogs, and owe
less debt than ever before We have
gained experience and formed resolu-
tions which will be kept, both by la
Dor and landlord. We believe we are
entering upon new and prosperous
era which will make our country one
of the finest on the globe. We will
soon have the means under existing
practices not only to live better and
become independent, but to improve
and adorn our homes-thereby restor-
ing to country life its dignified and
contented condition of the good old
times. Let croaking be heard no more.
and laziness and idleness be strangers
in our midst, and let us vie with each
other to see who can have the neatest
and most comfortable bones, and raise
the finest crops and have the richest
lands, and finest and best stock.

Don't Stop.

After you have laid your cotton by
just take an Orrick harrow and cup it
up and run one time in every row.
You can't work it too late in this way.
It ought to be done until August just
as long as you work it just SO long
will it continue green and growing
and fruit.ng. When you stop working
it will soon stop growing, or do so very
shortly. 1t will load up with fruit to
its capacity to mature and throw off
the balance. The more and the longer
you work it the more fruit it can make
and carry to maturity. Your labor
will be all the better for being kept
at work, which will learn them a
wholesome lesson by breaking up che
desire for, and practice of idleness. If
you have not got oats or old corn, cut
green corn with'the biggest ears you
can find on it, mot suckers or barren
stalks) and cut them up into short
pieces, mix all and feed cautiouly
at first, and you will keep your stock
in fair order-especially as the work
will be light, and can be performed
early and late and rest in the heat of
the day. We stop our cultivation too
early every year, and one of the prime
causes is want of feed for our pillow
stock.

FAIR.
- : !

What do the farmers Of the county
think about having county agricul-
tural fair Some time in the fall? 1t
would not cost anything but few
remiums, many Of which would be
special and would cost us nothing. 1t
would certainly be instructive and
give us pleasure besides. The day Of
the moss back is over. Telephones are
crawling all over our county, indicating
progress and prosperity Is returning.
Gotta will be good price this fall,
and we are destined to rise "PhRnix
like from the ashes of the past. Moth
ing will serve more effcctually to has
ten the good day than an agricultural
fair. Let us have it! Let us make
Madison county a verita BILE paradise on
earth by utilizing the powers and ad-
vantages God has given us. Shall we
be dead or a live people. Shall we
hug sloath with idle brains and
hands until poverty has overwhelmed
us. or shall we be men up and doing:
"still achieving, still pursuing" until
the fruits of fortune fall rich and luc-
ious in our laps. Who are SO dead to
ambition and happiness Of he and his
as to be laggards and barnacles? Then
let us have "a fair and see who has the

ba nd, who can blow the loudest and

Keep AT II.

There should only be few days rest
after crop time is over. The less a
man works the more he breads it the
more he does the better he likes it, and
the more interest he has in it. Sum
mer is the time to go into all the low
places and clear them up while they
are free from water, and cut drains
preparatory to next years use. many
such branches and slashes exist in all
our fields. and iujure surrounding crops
a great distance.

TooPooR.

We are sometimes told by farmers
they are too poor to take our paper.
We are sorry for these fellows. and il
they will tahe the paper and read it
twelve months and come up at the end
and make an honest statement that
they have not learned anything and
have no increased desire or inclination
to be better men and have not gained
a dollar by its teachings we will give
them the paper free and turn them
over to hardness of heart and repro
bacy of mind, poverty and the devil
and shed tears of compassion over
their family.

I'm 1874 we had &c. cotton and free
coinage Of silver going hand in hand
The most prosperous twelve years in
the history of the nation, when the
largest strides were mada in industrial
development, were from 1878 to 1890,
when silver was demonetized."
The above proves. couclusively the
faliacy of the idea that cotton is infiu-
enced by the price Of silver. A popu-
lar error becomes started, and is hand
ed from one to another without ever
stopping to ascertain the truth of the
matter, and gathers force the more Of
ten it is reiterated 1t is like the fell
low who told lie SO often until after
awhile be began to believe it was the
truth. Whenever the farmers realize
the fact that law of supply and demand
regulates the true value Of all their
products, barring the power of specu-
lation, they will have made a long step
in the right direction. There is but
one remedy for speculation, and that
is the ability of the farmer to hold his
own products, and realize the advance
in prices when the world is bound to
have it. To do this he must be self
sustaining. Then he will be free,
Independent and happy man.

Colts.

Colts raised from poor mares are
worthless. They receive an impress
of stunt and weakness, which if they
survive we do not believe they ever
overcome. The dam should not only
be kept in fine coalition during preg-
nancy. but during the entire period of
lactation in order for the colt to grow
and develop that standard necessary
for perfect constitution 1t is very
difficult matter to make mare PEI

come poor under the usage they receive

done without any regard to the sample,

criminately. We seem utterly oblivi-
GUS to the fact that nice clean cotton
will bring the best price in the market,
resulting in about cent per pound
oyer common samples, which means a
great deal. We are totally ignorant
of the markets, and the grade of our
cotton. We carry it to the merchant,
he classifies it. prices it and buys it,
and whilst they often loose money on it,
vet this is not business. You do not
price any of his goods, or weigh any OF
his meat. Labor, whether done by
self or hired. should be driven to such
discharge of duty as to gather crops in
time and in proper maner, instead of
sauntering around and coming up,

cotton for days work. After this, we
should have us local brokerage or
commission house in our local towns,
where we can take our crops and place
them on the market. This would at
tract foreign buyers, which would
create competition and force prices to
the top of the market. 1t would also
create competition in commission
houses. Then if we of TIE country
