In many respects Hartford is a
most remarkable town and possesses
business and commercial advantages
of far reaching Importance. 1t is lo~
Gated near the center of the fourth
largest county of the Commonwealth,
a county renowned alike for its TIM
Der, mineral and agricultural wealth.
In the two former it excels any of its
border counties and in the latter is
second only to Davies. 1t is washed
along almost its entire southern bor-
der by the largest river lying wholly
within the State, river only recent
ly made free to navigation. Through
the center of the county flows the
beautiful Rough River, just now be.
ing opened to navigation. The rich
bottom lands along both these streams
and especially along the latter, are
just being reclaimed aud put into
cultivation. The county has a larger
railroad mileage than any other cOun'
ty in this part Ofthe State. lu schools,
teachers and general intelligence the
county ranks with the foremost in
theState. So much for the county.
The town is none the less distinguished
in many respects. There is not town
inKentucky of equal population that
can boast of an ADLER board Of phys
sicians, an ADLER bar, an ADLER min.
istry, better College, or more re-
fined and intelligent citizenship.
The business men of Hartford are
substantial and progressive and there
IS scarcely $500 borrowed capital
among our merchants. There have
been fewer financial failures in Hart
ford than any other town of like size
in the State. The location OF the
place is healthful and is we'll adapted
to manufacturing. Seeing that We
have so many advantages for town
and county, there is no reason why
our people should not look to the flu
ture with the very brightest pros.
poets. Talk up the town and county.

Eastern aud western Farming.
The census figures show that Ian
chester County, Pa. is the leading
county Of the United States In the
value Of lis agriculture products, the
total being S7,6s7,7oo. Next comes
st. Lawrence County, N. ", with so, b
osl, 100; then Chester County, Pa,
with Ss,S6s 500; then Worcester
County, Mass with S. 4S9,43o. aud
then Bucks County, Pa with SIS att
go. It will surprise the geueial
reader to learn that the five counties
ranking highest In this respect are
not in the great agriculture empire OF
the West, hut In the manufacturing
region OF the iost three ol them Ia
one State, This certainly does not
indicate that the protection ,orin un.
der which the manufacturing indus.
tries ct the country have bccu cstah.
lishel has proved detrimental to the
farmers, The tact is that such Indus.
tries have provided an enlarged mar.
ket Tor farm products, aud thus made
agriculture more profitable and in.
creased the value OF lands used Tor
that purpose, There are many draw
backs to farming in the East but the
advantages Of being close to a good
market are sufficient to overcome
them and to insure success where IL
would otherwise bepractioally impos-
sible.
1t is not to this fact alone, howev.
er, that the prosperity Of the Eastern
farmers is attributable. They man
age their affairs in a different way
from that which is followed in the
West. Their farms are comparative
ly small as a rule, and they cultivate
them thoroughly, thereby obtaining
the best result. Then they are also
economical and careful to utilize ev-
erything that they produce, whereas
the Western farmers, generally speak
ing, waste almost as much as they
save, becaus Of their larger farms and
the loose methods that come from
trying to accomplish too much. A
good deal of this waste is unavoida.
bic, OF course, since the great staple
must he extensively raised in order
to yield a satisfactory return; but it
might be materially reduced by the
adoption Of better system Of farm
ing. The average Western farmer is
at a disadvantage, furthermore, by
reason OF his obstinate reliance upon
a single crop. lie Is welded to corn
or wheat. as the Southern farmer is
to cotton, and will not see how much
better it would be for him to diversity
his products. and increase his income
by adding to the sources from which
II is derived. In time he will Gers
tainly learn this important lesson,
aud whenever he begins to conduct
his business according to the frugal
and prudent Eastern plan. he will
find it far more proftable.-LGlobe-

The Herald backs squarely out of
its statement made last week regard
ing the appointment of the officers
of election by the County Judge and
says it was wrong, Of course it was
wrong or The REPUBLICAN would
not have said so, but there are some
gross doubts as to whether it was a
mistake. The Herald should have
named the party to whom the COun-
ty Judge said the statement made by
the Herald was damned malicious
lie, " and also that the County Judge
tried in vain to find out who Of the
Herald force was responsible for the
publication. If nobody is RESPONSE

IMPAIR BEREAVEMENT.

While the State Herald Is not in accord with Governor Oates on the financial question it is in favor of fair play on all occasions Whether it is so intended or not. papers throughout the state claiming to be his friends are really doing the gov ernor an injustice. It is known of all men in Alabama that Governor Oates does not desire second term as govern or. He said so while he was seeking the office in 1894, and has repeatedly said so since, and within the past few days he has, stated most emphatically that he was not a. candidate for governor, but was candidate for the place now occupied by Senator Pugh. A certain newspaper, at- tempting to pose as friend of the gov ernor, a few days ago sought an inter- view with him. and failing to succeed in it's efforts to get the governor to go back on his former declarations regarding a second term, proceeded to press the ques- ton whether or not he would decline second nomination if rendered him by the party. As a good loyal party man Gov ernor Oates, of course, answered that question in straightforward manner, saying that if the PARTY should tender him the nomination he could not decline it. What man in Alabama who has been repeatedly honored by the democratic party would refuse to serve the party should it, through it's convention, call upon him to accept the nomination for governor? That man does not live. Seiz- ing upon this answer the paper referred to seeks to make a great mares nest out of it, actually going so far as to construe that answer to mean that Governor Oates had recanted and really gone back on his oft repeated declaration that he would not stand for a. second term as governor, really creating the impression in the minds of some people that the governor could not be depended upon to stand by what he had said to the people, thus do- ing the man, whose friend it claims to be, a great injustice No man enjoys being held up to the world as one who, notwth- standing he said yesterday he would not do a thing, may be liable to change fronts and do 1t today. While the State Herald understands full well that is has no claims on Colonel Oates or he on 1t, as public journal it cannot refrain from en- tering Its protest against such unfair deal- ing on the part of a paper claiming to be Governor Oates friend, advocate and ad- mirer.

San Francisco, Nov. u.-Captain Mer- ry, a local capitalist and member of the San Francisco chamber of commerce, who is deeply interested in the Nicaraguan canal project, said yesterday: "I believe the dispatches from Chicago which say that a London syndicate has practically agreed to back the Nicaraguan canal scheme are practically correct. I am not at liberty to give any further particulars or mention any names, but as long as the news has already been published don't think I am betraying any confidence to say that the news as published is sub stantially correct"

Ask Major Screws.

It would be interesting to know just how many of the gold advocate papers in Alabama are either expecting or are al- ready holding favors at the hands of the present administration. Certainly such matters have their weight and do bias, to some extent, opinions in political matters. We do not doubt that but any honest ed- itor could lay aside any such prejudice, but the question Is, would he? Does he? Who can give us the figures on this ques- ton ?-Talladega News-Reporter.
 Major Screws, postmaster at Montgom- cry and candidate for congress from the Second district and senior editor of the Montgomery Advertiser, read a very val uable paper giving the history of the AL, abama newspapers at the recent meeting of the Press association in this city, and if the editor of the News Reporter will address him letter he will no doubt take pleasure In giving the informa ton sought. The paper was ordered printed in book form and we don't believe any paper in the state published 1t on &C., count of its length and it would not bear condensing. However, our recollection is no reference was made as to what news paper editors or the number who are holding or seeking office. It was possibly accidentally omitted by the writer, and may be included when the copy is pre- pared for the press.
