Balance to loss account. ..$ / Is
This is Il rather diScouraging result of
a years labor. 1t does not matter
much to him that sugar, shoes, furniture
and clothing are cheaper than ever be-
fore. Wherewithall has he to buy? 1t
is stated by the gentleman who furnished
us these figures that the tenant is a
thrifty, industrious man, and in addition
to the laboring himself, two other mem
leri Of lis familV worked on the farm.
There are six in tie family to clothe and
shoe, etc, and there were doctors bills
S7.G0 and taxes S2.4O. Take these
amounts from the amounts charged to
necessary family expenses" and one
can judge whether the expenditures of
this family Of six persons were eXtrava-
CANT or not. When such is the expert
ence of an intelligent, industrious and
economical family, in which every effort
was m;uie to make both ends meet, it is
easy TO see how much worse it was with
large percentage who are shift'ess and
who kept no account Of expenditure or
cost. 1t is a bad state Of affairs, and all
talk about 4 cent cotton not hurting the
Southern planter is simply talk and
nothing more. In the abandonment of
cotton to Il large extent and the cultiva-
ton of diversified crops, the Southern
farmer must look for redemption. Cot
ton must Ike raised in the South, of
course, and will continue to be-, but the
Southern planter must raise his food
crops also, and mus learn to produce
cotton ut less cost.

The Lesson is Plain.

1t has been stated that because of tie
low prices ut which a farmer can procure
the things he has to buy, he is better off

his cotton, but this has been effectively

Was ''0mted" by the county board ant
Mr.. Il. X. Palmer elected in hiS stead
1T was claimed that Mr.. pailner's elec
tion WAS illegal. rs Mr. Cole Lyles, a
meabr OF the board, was recently elect
I'd to the Legislature. Mr.. Sarlor con
tested the election.
AT the afternoon session the UniOr
case was taken up and argued by Messrs
Is. r. Townsend and Y. +. DePass, fol
Mr.. Sartor, and Mes-rs Sawyer aDG
William Munro, for Mr.. Palmer.
The board. after carefully listening tC
the arguments, decided TO let the Judi
cial department decide the right of Mr.
I-yles to act us q member Of the county
hmr'l, but as Mr.. Palmer'S petition had
l"t been filed twenty days before he vas
elected dispenser, his election WAS de-
clared void.
Mr.. Townsend said that the grounds

no intmation Of the contest except from

ihe board should be presented with the.
legal .techncaites. Mr.. Townsend said
that the hoard which on December 1si
elected Mr.. Palmer was composed OF

from being a member of the county

ctptance. for lie had permitted the Off

drawing his name.

StitutiOn, which says: 'The term of of

profit with which to buy his sugar, coffee,
clothing, shoes and other necessities.
Now suppose that, though it cost him
3 cents to make it, he only gets cents
pound for 1t. Instead Of having a
balance to spend. he has lost money on
his years work. Now what does it
matter to the farmer who has not made
cent whether sugar, shoes, household
goods, clothing, etc., are cheaper than
they were few years ago, If lie has
nothing with which to buy them? This
is not fancy sketch, but is the problem

Editor News Democrat:-I would like
to ask, through the columns of your val.

ani the committee he has got to get out
those one hundred petitions, what as
surance the taxpayers would have II the
commissioners should have control of the
workhouse that 1t would be run on any
better paying basis than tits now, and
y hat more knowledge would Mr.. Sum-
mer have In conducting the affairs Of the
workhouse than the present manage ement
hasp Are not the present board Of man
a. ers just as competent and capable to
run the affairs of the workhouse as Mr..
Summer is, and is not the present sup r.
intendent, ]. W. Pontius, conducting the
institution just as economically as Mr..
Summer or anyone else would, and how
long would it be after the commissioners
got control before Mr.. Summer would
have petition in the Legislature asking
for more salary on account of having
more work to do9 Now, I think that the
commissioners have got all they can do
with the present businessi connected
with the county at the present time, and
If they do it faithfully they will not have
much time to spare to look after the
workhouse.
think Mr.. Pontius is conducting the
workhouse just as economically as any
other man could or would.
Now, Mr.. Editor think this is spite
work, pure and simple, on the part of J.
b. Summer against Mr.. Pontius and
Judge Baldwin, and when he sets him
self up against such q man as Judge
Baldwin TO try to down MIN, he is under
taking big job and will have more than
a before breakfast spell at it. Just put
it right down that Judge Baldwin
knows what he is doing and will not
have to call'in the aid of the one J. b.
Summer. l will venture to say that If
Judge Baldwin when he entered upon
the duties Of trustee of the workhouse,
had seen anything wrong in the manage
ment of that institution he would have
been the first man to vote for change.
] think that so long as we have the
workhouse, to let well enough alone. 1t
seems strange that during all these years
prior to the advent of Mr.. j. B. Summer
on the board of county commissioners
that they have not observed anything out
of the way in the management of this in
stitution, and now the remainder of the
board are not saying anything. 1t looks
considerably fresh on the part of Summer.

LEFT GERWIG.
lntirmary Help Leaves the Institu.
tiOn and the Superintendent
is Embarrassed.

Engineer Ira Alley, Farmer John
Whipple and John Steffen and wife, who
had control of the insane department at
the infrmary, resigned their positions
and at once left the institution upon the
reelection of Superintendent Gerwig AS
no notice was given Supt. Gerwlg, accord
ing to his statement, he was placed in a
rather awkward position by the sudden
leaving of so much of his help He will
fill the vacant positions as soon as possi-
BILE and in the meantime will have to do
extra service himself. The parties who
left furnished considerable testimony
against Mr.. Gerwig at the inquisition.
They were very competent in their posi-
tions but objected to Mr.. Gerwig' S
methods
