the Republican state convention today was
over the contesting delegates from Granite

ton on the silver question:
We reiterate our faith IN and devotion
to the great Republican principles OF hi.
mefallism. protection and reciprocity. an.
nouncing as our understanding of bi-mstai-
ism the free and unlimited coinage of both
gold and silver at the ratio OF 10 to In.
dependently by the United States. We
maintain that these three cardinal pr.n.
ctpies of Republican faith should be the
nrst consideration Of the congress OF the
United States. and that ample iegislation
be enacted on these subjects.
We call the attention OF rejecting mem
TO the recent marvellous development OF
produNive and manufacturing enterprises
In China. Japan. India and other silver u.s.
ing countries. and submit that tho CONNIE.

means OF eQuaiixing the difference In ex-
change. and the re-esfablishment of the
protective tart6 policy - Q necessary
means Of eQuaiixing the difference In wages
and cost Of living.
We condemn as un-Republican ana un-
statesmanlike the action Of those Republic
cans In congress- who. In defiance OF Repub-
Ican traditions. rushed to tho aid OF n
Democratic administration and Democra-
tic majority In congress In securing tho
unconditional repeal of the Sherman law.
and we assert that the repeal OF that law
has utterly failed to accomplish a single
beneficcnt result predicted by the enemIes

To gather berries. Johnny's pm, In talking
to him, said
That he could tell him how to pick SO he'd

First find your bush," says Johnny's pa,

In search of better bushes, but it's picking

End Johnny did as he was told; and, sure
enough. he found
iy sticking to his bush while all the others
chased around
n search of better picking, twas as his
father said:
Ior, while all the others looked, he
worked, and SO came out ahead.
and Johnny recollected this when he be

and first of all he laid him out a we'll

So, while the brilliant triflers failed with

A countryman In Alabama has discov-
cred a novel and profitable use for his
small aock of geese, such as. II It fs
found successful, will save much labor
to the farmers In the South.
When was in Alabama, between
Porter's Gap and Millerville. came to
1 country place where a man was driv-
tng ten or twelve geese from a bunch to
= cotton patch.
why" said 1, "what is 1t you have
on the necks Of those geese?
Those are gourds full Of water. l
drive the geese into that cotton patch
and keep them there all day wedding
out the cotton. There is no water in the
cotton patch, and 1 have to give them
water In this way to keep them there.
.srhose geese will weed out more cot
ton in a day than two people would.
They will eat the grnss and weeds, but
they won't touch the cotton"
but how do they get the water out
of the gourds under their necksT
'.They drink out of each others
sourd. Each gourd has an opening in
the side, 40 that another goose can put
his bill into the gourd and drink. II
vou will stay here long enough you will
zee it for yourself"
waited there half a day to see that
performance, and finally saw it. Tho
geese did just as the man said they
would. When a goose got thirsty he
walked up to his neighbor and cooIly
drank out of the gourd on his neck.
When asked If he had yet made a
crop with the help of the geese, he re-
plid that he had made small crop last
rear, but only had limited number
II geese, as he was only experiment
ng.
This year he has over a hundred
reese in harness. and they have succeed
I'd in keping his crop cleaned out so
far. He has 100 acres under cultiva-
hon, and says that he will make the
best crop he has ever made.
When asked how he came to think OF
asing the geese as farm hands, he re-
,lied that two years ago he had a small
atch Of cotton near his house. In this
,atch th0 geese raised about his yard
we're allowed to run.
He noticed that the cotton had little
n no grass, and no weeds at all, and
,cyan to watch the geese. He found
hat they literally ate every weed and
.vcry blade Of grass, but they did not
ouch the cotton.
Finding how valuable they were for
his purpose, he resolved to try them
N a larger scale and Is delighted with
hJ experiment.
