A York County Farm That Pays.

YoRKyILLE, October Although
there has been about as much complaint
about light crops this year as usual there
are no doubt many notable exceptions to
the rule. Your correspondent has run
across one OF these exceptions that Is in
terestlng. It is the case of Mr.. w. j. Cor
don, who is running farm about mile
from this town. Mr.. Gordon is engaged
IN q partnership enterprise The land be-
longs to Mr.. B N. Moore who is the 9TH
er party interested. Each put up GER
tain amount Of capital, and Mr.. Gordon
has the entire management OF the whole
place. Just what the arrangement Is
your correspondent Is not informed, but
that does not matter. The point Is In the
results.
This wear Mr.. Gordon has been running
only four ploughs. He started out by
sowing twenty acres of wheat and seven
acres Of oats. Then he put in fifty acres
of corn, ninety acres of cotton, twenty.
five acres Of peas, six acres of millet and
two acres of sorghum, along with liberal
patches of sweet and Irish potatoes.
Oats were o complete failure this year
all over the country, and such was the
case with Mr.. Gordon's. On the seven
acres he made only twenty bushels. But
he did not grieve over that. what ne
lost there he made up elsewhere. TIE
wheat crop turned out l56 bushels, and
the yield of corn was 800 bushels. From
the pea and millet crops he got forty two
horse loads IF hay, besides large quan-
tity of macured peas. Already fifty six
bales of cotton have been picked, ginned.
packed and set up alongside of the house
to serve as something. pleasant to con-
template while the cold winter winds
whistle through the limbs Of trees over
head, and it is estimated that there Is yet
In the fields five moro bales to be gather

In addition to ali the above, Mr.. Gordon
has thirteen hogs which be expects to
yield in the neighborhood Of 1900 pounds
of pork, and Notwithstanding the fact
that this is his first year on place that
nobody else has been able to make pro-
duce q fair living. he thinks farming is
good business and sees no cause to grum-

Nebraska began to make beet sugar
inst eight wears sgo. In 1895 her product
amounted to 100000 pounds, and the
industry Is growing rapidly. The State
law provides for the payment of bounty
of fYe-eighths Of a cent per pound upon
sugar manufactured In the State from
beets, sorghum, or other sugar-ylelding

That Georgia Cotton.

When it was reported o few days ago
that O farmer somewhere in Georgia had
grown cotton twelve feet high, and pro.
ducing lint at tho rate of four bales to the
acre, on poor land without fertilizers,
from seed obtained some where in Afri-
ca, and that he had been offered by a
committee Of Georgia farmers $lS, 900 for
all the seed Of hisecrop for the purpose Of
destroying it, we remarked that the story
was probably not true, and that If it were
true 1t would he vain for the Georgia
farmers to pay 30 much to destroy the
wonderful seed, 'tss more could be easi-
lr obtained from the same place In
Africa where the original supply came
from"
The Industrial Record, of Boston,
the action of the Georgia planters with
regard thereto. and says:
'!We give simply brief synopsis ofthe
story for the purpose Of saying that the
seed purporrs TO have been received from
Africa. It, no doubt, in our mind, refers
to growth ofcotton familiar to Egyptian
soil, known as the Bamian variety. This
cotton was discovered not many years
ago, i. e., within the last twelve or fifteen
years, and some of the seeds were sent to
the department of agriculture, portion
of them being secured By the editor Of
this journal and sent to Texas planta-
ton, with the result Of their giving fair
yield of lint per acre, (about one and a
half bales,} but there was deterioration
in the character and length of the fibre in
the first years planting, and the second
years planting proved failure. We
shall know more about this story, we
trust, within short time"
This is about what we suspected. The
cotton in question, after all the hurrsh
made over 1t by the Atlanta papers, is the
familiar Bamian cotton, and yields only
q bale and half tho first year, and peters
out the second year. It was tried In
Texas before it was tried near Atlanta.
and nothing was said about 1t. The at
lanta papers are forever making them
selves ridiculous about trif1es, and Il ap-
peers that they will never learn to be dig
nifed and moderate il what they say.
We do hope that they will learn lesson
from their experience in this matter.
As for the Georgia farmer who refused
$4,000 for his cart load of cotton seed, he
has, of course, our profoundest SYM

NOW FOR A VICTORY.

From the Providence Register. -,
The conventions of the several parties
have now been held. the nominations
are all made. the smoke has cleared away
from the preliminary contest. and the
question presents itself what is our duty
with reference to the election as to the
fitness and eligibility of the candidates.
especially the candidates for mayor. There
can be no difficulty of selection. Head
and shoulders above all the others stands
Colonel Ezra II. Ripple. whose long resi-
dence in Scranton. familiarity with it's
governmental affairs. perfect integrity
and character make him an Ideal occu-
pant of the mayors chair. We have no
desire to speak disparagingly Of Mr.. Bal
ley, but when it is considered that he
has had no experience whatever In NUM-
cipal government all must freely admit
that Mr.. Ripple's past experience more
than ever qualities him for the position.
1t cannot be possible that the people of
Scranton would hesitate for a minute
between Colonel Ripple and Mr.. Bailey to
return Colonel Ripple to the position he
filled with so great credit to himself and
to the city few years ago. The oppor
tunity of electing Il man of Colonel Rip
pies character, reputation and experience,
does not come often enough. There can
be no question as to his triumphant cleo
ton by the people for he Is man 'Of
the people and for the people and the
people are for him.
The selection of Mr.. Daniel williams
Of the West Side is also an exceptionally
fortunate one. He is a man well known
by the people generally as serving with
distinction. credit and great usefulness
as u member Of the poor board for years,
and Is sure to command the support of the
people without regard to party ties. The
reelection of Mr.. Widmayer Is not only
due to him by reason of his faithfulness in
office during the term now coming to an
end, but also because of his recognized
fitness for the place. and the splendid
reputation he has made as a fiscal officer
of the city. Moreover. he is a representa-
tive German. very. popular among them
ALL and justly so.
The gentlemen named by the Republican
convention for assessors are all men
Of experience and fitted for the postio
they seek to occupy. Altogether the party
presents this spring an exceptionally
strong ticket in all it's parts very much
stronger than any of the Others Let us
put our shoulders to the wheel and see
II We cannot give to this ticket In the

Many rumors were afioat yesterday

among the most important was that
the Philadelphia and Reading and the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
had agreed to tombine their tonnage,
and instead of asking for their quotas
separately they would ask an allotment
in bulk and the division would be made
by the companies themselves.
This rumor created considerable sur

was not denied. 1t is believed in the
