STATE CENTRAL CON-
MITTEE.

The Daily States OF Monday says !:
Collector Wilkinson stated this
morning to reporter Of the States
that he had about decided to call
the State Central Committee togetll-
er some time during October. 1,
is probable that the meeting will
take place about the middle OF the
month.
1t has been currently reported on
the streets for some days that the
committee would meet on the 18th,
aud what Chairman Wilkinson said
this morning seems to confirm the
rumOr.
The committee will be charged
with the duty of fixing the date Of
the State convention, the place OF
meeting and the apportionment.
There seems to be little or no
doubt that the convention will be
called TO meet at Baton Rouge,
where it has been holding its ses=
sions ever since the State capital
was moved to Red Stick.
There is considerable discussion as
to the date Of the convention. The
convention OF 1888 was held early
in January, and that Of tour years
ago held about the middle of DE.
cember. The date OF the conven:.
ton it is quite probable will be held
either in December or January.
The question Of apportiOnment
is quite certain to provoke consid-
cradle discussion at the meeting Of
the State committee, and it is un.
derstood tina: proposition will be
made and strongly advocted to dis
regard the basis Of apport,onment
established by the white primaries,
OF March p ard substitute therefor
a basis of population. There will
however, be strong fight for the
maintenance Of the basis establish
ed by the primaries, the principal
opponents of which are the people
who live in the allpvial black belt
of North Louisiana.
The State Committee will meet
in New Orleans. The work Of
electing delegates will no doubt
begin in November.

\ CHAPTER ON TURNIPS.

"'urnips bear ihe same position as
u winter cop that sorghum does as
q summer crop. Macaulay says
somewhere that planting turnips was
the first great step that started stock
raising in England. A farmer can
not have good stock unless he has
green food for them in the winter.
Turnips furnish the best, the most
nutritious winter food for COWS and
sheep. They are easily raised. re-
curing only to be scwn. They pro-
duce almost unlimited quantities on
rich soil. They can be used as they
are gathered all through the winter.
The seed arc cheap. 1t is not too
late TO plant them where the soil is
perfectly prepared. Our china te,
our soil is perfectly adapted TO the
production Of turnips.

HOW TO SUCCEED AS A
CHEMIST.

81 noticed" said the druggist to
his assistant, "that a gentleman
came IN with a prescription, aud
that you took it and gave him the
stuff in about three minutes. What
do you mean by that!" SIT was
only little carbolic acid and
water" replied the assistant II
simply had to pour 4 few drachms
Of acid into bottle and fill it up
with water" "Never mind il you
had only to do that" the druggist
declared. 'Don't you know that
every prescription must take at
leas! half an hour to gil or the GUS
toner will think he isn't getting
anything for his money! When a
prescription OF salt and water, or
peppermint and cough syrup is
handed you, you must look at it
doubtfully, as il it we're very hard to
make up. Then you must bring it
to me, and we will both read it and
shake our heads. After that you
90 back to the client and ask him
if he wants it to-day. When he
says he does, you answer that you
will make a special effort. Now a
patient appreciates a prescription
like that he's had so much trouble
over, aDd when he takes it he de-
rives some benefit from it. But
don't you do any more Of that
three-minute prescription business.

Liberty can not long endure in
