AWKWARD

Now that the successful and unsuc-
cessful candidates are at home nursing
their sore throats and looking back
with pride upon the time they con
sumed in defence of their country, the
following from al exchange will be
good reading at this time:
There is no doubt that one great need
of a public speaker is to be able to
think while he is ION his legs" facing
the audience. While uttering q en-
tence he should be able to think of the
next. That is possible, but possible
only when a perfect presence of mind
is acquired. It is possible, by use and
training, even for one who halts in
common conversation to be neverthe
less fluent when on the platform.
1t is lack of this attainable selfposses
sion which causes speakers to blunder.
We have heard a temperance speaker
say: "Dear friends, / have to say a
few words on the temperance cause
and we all know the terrible harm it
does all over the country" Another
deplores the fact that a friend resorts
to ''the frequent use of the daily glass"
We heard a notable lady speaker speak
of slum children brought into the
world with no more idea of home COM
fort than the children of negroes in
Africa" We heard n speaker say,
81 rise emphatically," and another
said, 81 stand PROSTATE with astonish
ment." Yet another feelingly told us
it was mot the platform but the house
to house visitation, and the ~utterance
of the silent word by the caller which
did the most good"
Then we heard the statement that
''the previous speakers suggestions
were very suggestive" and that anoth-
81 speakers remarks were ''miscalcu
lated to mis!ead." We have heard the
speaker who always misplaced his his,
pray that we might be brought to the
halter" There was a fight Of fancy
when a speaker asked, Suppose 6
modern balloon dropped upon an unin
habited island, what would the natives
sayF" The scientific lecturer said, Of
his coming experiment., that ''all de
ponds upon the present condition of the
body about to be created" A towr
council spoke~o ''the riyarR anC
streams that abut on the borough DUN
dairy"
It was another address on torturhe

SAD CONDITION OF NEW YORK
FARMERS.

Henry George. who travelled from
house to house through the farming
districts of Western New York, during
the recent campaign, writes as follows
concerning the condition of farmers in
that State:
Nowhere in the country has the fall
in the value Of farming land been greater
and more sudden than in the western
half of New York State. Farming land
that in the seventies was worth from
800 to 1920 an acre and could be read
lily borrowed upon at proportionate
rates, is now deemed dear at from $15
to $50 an acre, and the banks and loan
associations will not lend upon it at
any price. The mortgaged farmers
are being literally crushed out, and are
rapidly passing either into the rank of
tenants or, if old, into the poor house.
"dere are two cases, of which I was
told at Medina, that r types Of cases
that whoever wishes to listen may
hear everywhere through these re-
glons; In 1865 O man who had served
in the Union Army, through the war,
bought farm at KGowlesville, Orleans
county. paying part cash and giving a
note for the rest. The house did not
silt his wife, as the children grew up
ard be improved it.
up to this spring he had paid more
in interest on the mortgage than the
amount of the mortgage itself called
for. With the fall in the price of farm
products he a pay no more. With
the fall in the value of the land the
farm itself, with all it's improvements,
is not worth the amount of the mort,
gage and at sixty five years of age he
is being driven cut, homeless and pen
niIess.
AT O. X O. chard, O:leans county,
in April, 1873, the very same year in
which the act demonetizing silver was
struggled through Congress and re,
ceived the signature of a President who
did not know what it contained, a man
and his wife bought as a provision fo1
their old age, already beginning &c
come on, a farm of forty-nine acres al
$1O2 an acre. paying g 1876 down and
giving a mortgage for 50 500. The farm
has been improved and is in better con.
dition than when they bought it, and
on the mortgage some 81, 600 has beer
paid in interest. But apples this year

less you can do it. The poor old couple
have no children; the man is now
eighty, and the attempt to work be
yond his time has brought running
sores on his legs. His helpmate during
all the long years is almost as infirm
They can no longer pay interest, enc
their farm would not sell to day fol
one fourth of the principal of the mort
gage"

FOOLED THE TRAIN ROBBERS

DALLAS, Tex Nov. 4.-Three masked
men held up the south bound Katy
passenger No. 1 one mile south of AIva-
RADIO, Monday night about z o'clock.
They climbed up over the tender and,
covering the engineer and fireman,
made them stop the train. They then
compelled the porter to cut the express
car loose from the passenger cars and
forced the engineer to draw the car
away. Going to the express a they
ordered the messenger to hand out the
money. Instead of doing so he turned
out the light and fastened the door.
The engineer pulled the throttle open
and ran into Grandview. Sheriff Bell
ordered a posse and sent it with blood.
hounds to the scene of the hold up.
The robbers are described as boys about
seventeen to twenty years old.

He is Gratifed at the Showing Made by
His State.
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 5.-Beforo re-
ceiving the bulletin conceding McKin,
ley election, Mr.. Bryan gave out the
folio wing interview on the situation in
Nebraska:
The result in Nebraska is very graft
tying. We have had great obstacles
to overcome, and yet, in spite of all
these obstacles, we have secured a ma
jority of 10, GOO or $4,000 for our cleo
tOral ticket, and have elected the en-
tire State ticket and also at least four,
and probably five members OF Con,
gress out of the six, and have elected a
good working maj )rity in both
branches and of the legislature. The
Democrats, Populists and silver Re-
publicans have worked together in per
feet harmony. The gold standard
Democrats by collision with Republ,-
can officials secured a place on the bal
loUs as the Democrats" and deceived
a few voters, but the attempted fraud
was called to the attention of the
voters, and the evil effec.s reduced to
a minimum. 1t is safe to say that al
most the entire Palmer vote was cast,
because the gold Democrats here, as
elsewhere, voted almost unanimously
for the Republicans. 1 am proud of
Nebraska and grateful to the friends
In this State for their loyalty. No
cause ever had more devoted Support
ers than the silver cause has in Ne
braska. Having control Of the legisla
tive machinery in this State we should
be able TO reform our ballot law so as
to prevent the frauds which have been
perpetrated under it, and we shall also
be able to secure legislation which will
protect the voters from coercion and
intimidation.
THE people of Nebraska have cause
for rejoicing. The good effect of our
victory in this State will be felt for
years to come"

INDUSTRIAL PARALYSIS

Bill Arp, the Georgia philosopher,
says: go.
"The doctors tell US that paralysis is
the loss of the function OF motion from
an interruption of nervous Influence.
Trade. commerce and industrial pur-
suits have nerves. too, but they seem
to be paraly zed. The spinal marrow
ia disc sed and muscular power has
become stagnant. What has caused
| this unnatural condition we know not
with any certainty, for the political
doctors disagree, but it is believed by
many that it is owing to the lack OF
circulation Of the blOod-that Is OF
money, and that the demOnctiz alton OF
silver ia at the bottom Of it. Whatever
it is, the patient is in a bad fix. TG8
| other day 1 rode ont with lady friend
in the suburbs Of Atlanta to look at
| soma Of the cottage homes. She wanted
| to buy a home for herself, and we spent
parts Of three days in examining and
| pricing properties. There were hun
| dreds Of them and they were cheap
enough, but what struck me was that
a building and loan company had more
! for sale than anybody. This company
had loaned money four and five years
ago to improve suburban lots, They
loaned not exceedingo one half the value
of the vacant lot and have had to fore
| close their mortgages because the Dor
rover could no longer pay the interest,
and Sd they bid in the property and
have held it, hoping to get their money
back, but they can't and are now seek
ing buyers at less than the property
cost them, and in some cases less than
the original loan. A lot that four OR
five years ago was worth 81, 600 and
has on it a house that cost 5000 or $500
is offered for 81 200, and perhaps 81, 900
would buy it. The company car stand
it, but what has become of the poor
fellow and his family l know not. They
had hopes and we're looking forward to
tae TINA when their humble home
would be paid for, but this paralysis
overlook them and swept their home
and their hopes away. The Merchants
bank has long been regarded as one of
the solid, conservative institutions of
Atlanta, but it advanced money on
real estate and could not realize. This
is the condition all over the country.
Trade is paraly zsd, especially in real
estate. Financiers tell us that there is
as much money in the country as there
ever was, but it does not move. The
stagnation not only continues, but it
gets worse. Three years ago a man
offered 81, 500 for an eligible town lot in
Cartersville. A year later he bought
it for $500, and now he could not get
$500 for it if he wished to sell. Is it
any wonder that the people have lost
confidence and are willing to make
any change that is ofered9 The patient
is awful sick and will even take stry CHI

TEE PEACH CROP
EXCEEDS ALL PAST RECORDS.
The Belt Above Louisville Beats
the World.

Judge Stotsenburg, of New Albany
is one of the most extensive fruit
growers in this section. He and his
associates own $4,000 bearing peach
trees. The orchards are located on
the hills in Clark county, Ind, oppo-
site Westport, Ky, and shipments
have already begun,
Judge Stotsenburg says the crop
this year will exceed any previous
year by many thousand bushels, and
the boats between Louisville and Gin
cinnati will be kept busy handling
fruit for some time to come. Judge
Stotsenburg says the peach trees in
Trimble county, located nearly oppo-
site his orchards, will bear over 400,-
600 bushels of fruit this year. He
says that section, on both sides of the
Ohio, is the best region in the United
States for peach culture, not even ex-
cepting New Jersey. AS the Judge is
native of the latter State he is well
advised as to the merits of the two re-
gions and their adaptability to fruit
raising.-Louisville Times.

LIBERIA THE ONLY REFUGE.
Bishop Tnrner Urges the Negroes
to Emigrate.

Selma, Ala, June 25.-The pros
pect is bright for an exodus of negroes
from this section to Liberia this fail.
The lecture of Bishop Turner, of the
A. M. E. Church, Tuesday night, Gre
ated a profound impression upon the
hundreds who heard him. He spoke
for four hours, describing the negro in
America as race in its native land
without political rights, and with
no possible chance to gain them.
The white people of America, he said,
both North and South, are a unit
against the negro. He held up Libe-
ria as the only refuge from these
wrongs, and said the same prosecu-
lions which drove the early colonists
from England to this country would
drive the negro into Liberia. He de-
scribed Liberia as a land flowing with
milk and honey. and pictured in glow
ing terms the future of the Negro

A Miners Great Luck.

John Pierce, Tombstone, Ariz.,
miner, who year ago had not enough
money to provide three meals day
for himself and family, is now in San
Francisco with $250,000 in cash to his
credit He recently struck it rich
while prospecting about thirty miles
from Tombstone. He established a
camp and gave it his name. Already
there are 500 people there, and empty
houses from Tombstone are being
taken there bodily. An English SYM
dictate has secured the Pierce ledge,
and has organized with $l,500,000,
and it is said that there is a prospect
of the new camp rivaling Cripple
Greek, in Colorado.
Pierce is a Cornishman, with little
or no education, and worked at odd
jobs throughout Arizona. His wife,
before he made the strike, had to go
to Tombstone and help out the family
exchequer by doing sucL odd jobs OF
house cleaning as she could find,
while the son, a young man, now
twenty, herded cattle on the ranges.
Besides one son, he has daughter,
who was given the advants ge of the
public schools of Tombsto' c.

A New Truck Farm.

- An organized effort is being made
on the Barbados, West India islands,
to attract settlers from Florida and
elsewhere, to develop the latent ag-
ricultural resources of that frostless
region. A cooperative company 10
export and market all produce is one
feature of the scheme, and adult labor
at shilling day is another. From
NV. Is to May !, the climate there is
claimed to be unrivaled and it is
pointed out that northerners can spend
the winter pleasantly in profitable
truck farming and get back 10 their
home farms at the north in season for
spring work. If the plan goes through,
it will further add to the competitor
which southern truck aud western
fruits have to meet in northern and
eastern markets.--American AgrIcul-
tnrist.

Mulhall shows that Australia has
the greatest per capita wealth, Hol-

the United States leads the world.
With care for an honest dollar there
is every reason for expecting that
