ARDMoRE, SUNDAY. AUGUST ?.
A NEW ERA.

Ardrnore, like all other trade
centers, does business on the
thirty day system and i'll the
financial depression, which has
so seriously affected the entire
country recently, has suffered
from non payment of bills, local
and foreign, to the extent Of
all other commercial towns of
equal Importance. With the
passing Of August l, however,
the dull season is at end and an
era Of unsurpassed prosperity
and business activity is dawn
ing upon us. The long hard
pull through the summer months
has passed. The first bale, the
forerunner of $4,000 to be mar
keted on our streets. has been
sold and the annual street
blockade Of wagons loaded
with the fieecy staple will soon
occur. From all parts Of the
nation come reports Of the most
Aattering nature, and in the his
tory of planters OF the olden
times. no such prospects for a
cotton crop has ever before
been seen. This means much
70 ArdmOre, more indeed than
the mere sale of the cotton to
our buyers and the increased
business Of our local business
men with the farmers. 1t means
the collection of hundreds of
thousands of dollars of out
standing accounts. 1t means
the busy hum of local gins
working scores of men. Itmeans
the beginning Of the season
with the ArdmOre Oil Mills,
where perhaps one hundred
men now idle will find employ
ment' 1t means the compress
in action with positions for fifty
men at good wages. It means
employment for clerks. street
men, railroad men, cotton yard
men, dray lines and dozens OF
laborers who have been idle
for months and it means thOus-
ands of dollars for the families
who for the past six months
have alas been travelling the
rocky road of poverty. With a
sigh of relief we bid the past
adieu and with a smile of JOY
and hope welcome in the pros
porous days of peace, plenty
and business activity when the
first day of the month is no
longer a horror TO the idle
workman.

KaMr Corn.

l see an inquiry in your paper about
kaffir corn, and as have had some e1-
perience with 1t and had such good sue.
cess with 1t last year will write few
lines for the benefit of those that wish
to plant some of it this year. I planted
last year sorghum, kaffir corn and milo
maize, and like kaffir far better than
either. Kaffr grows about six feet tall
when sowed in drills, and will grow from
eight to twelve stalks in the hill four.
teen inches apart in three-foot rows.
planted one and a half acres with COM
mon cotton or corn planter on cotton
land and plowed three times. 1t did
not need any hoeing, only thinning to
ten or twelve stalks to the hill. cut it
early IN August and made over hun.
half. All kinds of stock like the feed
and the seed will fatten hogs, horses,
and anything that will eat corn likes it.
1t beats the world for chickens and will
grow wet or dry. It really is dry
weather plant and three crops can be
grown on the same land in one year.
eowed three acres of kaffir and peas
after wheat, broadcast, about the 25th
Of June, and made the incest lot OF hay
l ever fed. | like it much better than
sorghum, as it has not so much sap in it;
it is easier to cure it ready for stacking,
ii you don't let it get too high before
cutting. cut mine the Sth OF Septem.

NO ELECTION IN KENTUCKY
Another Exciting and Fruitless Day
in the Senatorial Struggle
at Frankfort.
DUNLAP REFUSES KAUFRMANN'S SEAT
This Sadly Disarranged Republican
Plans and Probably Averted Seri-
ous Trouble-Ruling that Sew
enty Constitutes Quorum.

Frankfort, KY, March 12,--Mayor Ju
lien ordered about twenty extra police
men on duty in the rotunda of the state
capitol to-day, with instructions to keeT
the rotunda absolutely clear.
This course was decided on by the mayor
after q consultation with the governor
who said that, if Frankfort was unable to
afford police protection to the members
he intended TO do 40 If il took every state
guard in Kentucky.
Senators James and Walton are in the
houses chamber ready to be on hand when
the joint session begins.
When the Democratic leaders found
that James and Walton had secured ad.
mission to the house chamber, they raised
a protest.
Mayor Jnlien refused to eject them as
it was within the power of tho house to
do so.
The Democrats declare that if an at.
tempt is made by two ex x.mem bers to vote
it will surely precipitate trouble.
Adjutant General Collier said that the
only difference between the unseating of
Kaufman in the house aud declaring
vacant the seat of James and Walton in
the senate was that Kaufman was legally
unseated, while James and Walton were
not.
1t is expected that the ad djutant general
will take hand in case trouble breaks
out.
SPECIAL POLICE IN CORRIDORS.
Special police, just before noon, Or
d0FRn all n tho Jor
to go below and dense mass of men are
now gathered in the lower corridors of
the capitol.
When the senate filed into the house
chamber to ballot for United States SEN
ator, Dunlap had not arrived or qualified.
When this became known, it served to
cool the excitement as it was evident
that the Republicans could not elect
senator unless the vote Of Populist Poor
had been secured.
Senator Bronston stated that he under.
stood there WAS stationed in the corridors
a platoon of police; he supposed for the
purpose of preserving order.
He continued: ~ ask why certain per-
here. | ask frst as request and second
ds q Motlou tndI every one Ue oXcluded
from the floor of this house save mem
bers Of the joint assembly, the officers
and representatives of the press.
The chair said that he thought the mo.
tion out of order, but be would put it to
the assembly ANYWAY.
The Republicans refused to vote.
The chair announced that no quorum
Lad voted and that the motion was lost.
He was still of the opinion that seventy
members constituted a quorum and that
in all ballots for senator seventy mem
bers must be voting to insure an cleo
tion.
ANOTHER rRUITLEss BALLOT.
The roll call showed l30 members pres
ent.
The ballot resulted: Blackburn. So;
Carlisle, 12; Buckner, l.
The Republicans and Populist Poor re-
fused to vote and the chair declared no
election.
The assembly then adjourned.
The Democrats say that if seventy votes
are required for gaorum there will be
no election this season.
