the price is still advancing. The
advantages of the Democratic policy
but we suppose the record of their
party is such that they are willing to
say nothing about it. The Demo
cratic policy is more destructive to
the sheep industry than a hundred
packs of wolves. In 1884 under Re
publicanism our sheep numbered
80, 626, 626, and valued at $119,902, 702.
Under the influence of the threatened
Mills bill they shrank in numbers to
~ 500, 079, and in value to 800, 640,369,
a decrease in numbers of 8,027, 547,
and in value of $29, 49,, 337 From the
lowest point under the baneful infiu-
ence of the Mills bill scare up to 1898,
under Republican protection, sheep
increased to AZ, 273, 552, and in value to
1925, 909, 265, an increase of 4,674, 474,
and an increase in value of $35, 26S, S95.
Under the influence of Mr.. Cleveland S
second election once more the effect
was for the worse, and under the
blighting, whitening curse Of free
trade, in three years sheep decreased
to Sc, 29S, 1888, valued at $G5, 1877, 735, a
loss in three years of 1874, in num-
bers and loss in values Of $GA,741,
529.
As the farmers of Garrett remember
these facts and think of how many of
the leading Democratic farmers of
the county held their clip year after
year waiting for Republican prices to
return, and then this year when
those prices began to come they sold
the wool they had accumulated under
Democracy. The farmers of Garrett
also remember Mr.. Gormans position
and work for the Gorman-Brice tariff
bill, which robbed them of thousands
of dollars, and they will do their part
to see that Messrs. Getty, Welch and
Michael are not sent to Annapolis to
help re-elect German to the Senate TO
work and vote again for free wool
but will vote for protection and hon
| est money.

GOldsb0rOugh, in an address Of q half
hour, placed before the people the
financial policies Of the Republican

Immediately after Mr.. GoldsborOugh
took his seat Mr.. Charles Il. Schirm,

made one of his characteristic ad-

Senator Wellington, and in the course
of his remarks Mr.. German and his

without gloves. Both speakers were
repeatedly interrupted by applause,

aroused among the audience.

the country is entering on an era of
universal prosperity within less than
six months after the inauguration of
a Republican president. This is not
mere good luck, unless the party can
be called lucky for advocating poll
cies that restore confidence and pre-
pare the way for prosperity. 1t was

bad principles, bad politics, bad legis-

The Canitals Of Alabama

Cahaba was the first capital of the
State of Alabama, aud the seat of Gov.
eminent was there from 1919 until
1926.
The history Of Alabama's capitals is
interesting, and may be briefly relnted.
In 1917 Congress established Alabama
Territory, With st. Stevens, on the
Tombigbee River, an attractive town
OF considerable proportions, as its
capital. The two sessions of the Ter
ritorial Legislature were held there,
and the Second Assembly decided up
on the removal of the seat of Govern
ment to the proposed city OF Cahaba, at
the mouth of the river of that name.
In 1919 Congress admitted Alabama
into the Union OF States, and as the
capitol ut Onhaba had not been COM
pleted, the first constitutional conven-
tion and the first session of the Gen
eral Assembly were held in Huntsville.
Tho Legislature met ut Cahaba in
1920, and that place continued to be
the seat of Government until 1926,
when the capitol WAS removed TO
Tuscaloosa. 10 remained their until
1916, when it was removed TO Mont
gomery, which still remains the seat
of the Government. The first capitol
built in Montgomery was destroyed
by FIRE in l849, involving the loss of
valuable public documents. The pres.
ent capitol-mado notably historic by
the birth OF the Confederate Govern.
ment there-dates its completion from
1861.
IL is a matter of sentimental interest
that both of Alabama's first capitols
have disappeared from the face OF the
earth. Only some crumbling walls in
forest are left TO tell where st.
Stevens stood, and Cahaba, once
handsome city Of many thousands Of
people, the property OF which was as
sessed at a good many million OF dol
lars, is now an unproductive cotton
field, the property OF a poor farmer,
who lives in one Of the $50, 900 houses
that has contrived TO escape complete
decay. Atlanta Constitution.

'In the manufacture of candy, 8"
said n diplomatic officer OF experience,
"there is no doubt but that Americs

dies are about the only ones made OF

Though the French have long led the
world in this line, they have gradually
but surely managed to 90 away with
sugar in their candies, except where
they make them for consumption in
other countries, and in America in
particular. The French people will
not buy n CONNECTION which is made OF
sugar alone. They want combinations,
and depend more upon starches thon

sugar candy is rarely, if ever,
sold in Paris. OF course, IL would be

The West Indies.

Only few years ago Spain owned
the entire West Indies. One by one,
however. she has relinquished her
grasp upon these fair islands, until
now her possessions are restricted to
only two of them-Cuba and Porto
Rico.
AS to the other members Of the
group they belong severally TO Eng
land, France, Holland and Denmark.
Two of the islands, however, are not
included in this division, as they are
separate and independent. These are
Hayti and San Domingo.
Among the British possessions in
the West Indies are Jamaica, the
Bahamas, st. Lucia, st. Vincent, the
Barbados, st. Christopher, Nevis,
Antigua, Montserrat, Dominica, Trini-
dad and the Virgin islands.
The Guadeloupe archipelago is
owned by France. together with st.
Bartholomew aud Martinique. On the
latter island Empress Josephine first
saw the light of day and lived until
her sixteenth year.
Five members of the group belong
to Holland. These are Curacao,
Bonaire, Aruba, st. Eustatius and st.
Martin. Though small islands, they
are we'll populated and fertile.
The Danish possessions are Santa
Cruz, st. Thomas and st. John.
Grouping these several possessions
together they embrace %, square
miles OF land aud sustain SOTO. OBS
inhabitants. OF this aggregate, Great
Britain controls 1000 square miles
and 1900, 900 inhabitants; France,
l1O3 square miles and 100000 in.
habitants; Holland, 434 square miles
and 10000 inhabitants, and Denmark,
223 square miles and 40, 900 inhab.
itants. The two Independent islands,
Hayti and Domingo, contain "a, 900
square miles and 1000, 900 inhab.

While Cuba and Porto Rico are now
under dominion of Spain, it will be
only short time before they acquire
their independence. II Haytl and
San Domingo can sustain independent
governments there is no reason
why Cuba and Porto Rico cannot do
the same. These islands contain 40. d..

There are several means OF furnish
ing light for this curious lamp. Eles-
tricity and oil are the most common.
The former is likely to be the most
popular method from the fact that
there is no danger OF grease leaking
out upon the shoe. A tiny storage
battery has been constructed to he
used IN furnishing the light. 1t is
ordinarily carried in the pocket, and
flexible wire, insulated and covered
with chamois skin, passes from the
battery and through the pocket down
to the lamp. Baltimore Herald.
