TO MAKE FARMING PAY
rhe Same Attention Should BE Given
That the Merchant Does His store.

The same Attention Should BE Given
That the Merchant Does His Store.
The farmers are the most independ-
ent class of people there is on the face
of the earth, or at least they should
be; for all depends upon them, al
though we have to admit having been
imposed upon, but great deal te
brought upon us by ourselves. If we
should fail in farming there is no law
to bind us to it, or If we should be so
fortunate as to own farm we can sell
it and become anything that capacity
and inclination prompt us to become.
If we would all give the farm the same
attention that the merchant or lawyer
does his store or Office, we would all be
more successful 1t seems to be fash
ionable at present to belong to some
order, as if the laws fere responsible
for the failure in farming. We indorse
the fashionable part and believe it
right
OF course we, as farmers, think the
laws can be made little more in our
favor. but the laws alone are not what
causes all the trouble. We cannot help
noticing that the farmer is mostly re-
spOnSible, for in a great many In
stances you will find his barn-yard the
most fertile spot on the farm, and his
fields are covered with yellow spots
which expand every year; and around
the fields you will find decayed fences,
overgrown with bushes and briars,
through which the sun never shines;
and again, while passing, glance
around the fields and see if there is not
farm machinery left where last used.
Now we become discouraged and say
farming is a failure, and the laws OF
our land are the cause of it.
Now let us look around at some OF
our farmers and see if they are not maxi
ing farming a success. They make a
study of each field, and what is best
adapted to it they plant, and we do
not hear him complain nearly as much
as the former did
About the only way to improve the
farmers condition is for us to diversi-
fly our crops. Crop no more than we
can cultivate, produce crops of every
variety that our soil will produce, sell
less in bushel and more in hoof and in
feece-less in lint and more in warp
and wool; at, the same time hold up
or increase the fertility of his soil, buy
and sell at the proper time, and always
keep good article and make it your
greatest object to improve it.

FUNNY MIX UP.
Tucker county has some new nuts for
the lawyers to crack.

There is a terrible mix-up over the
county clerkship in Tucker county,
that is creating considerable stir
around there. William M. Clayton,
Democrat was declared reelected two
years ago, by sixteen majority. M. G.
Hebb Republican asked for recount
which the County Court refused.
Hebb took the matter to the Circuit
Court getting mandamus compelling
the County Court to make the re-
count. Cayton and the county court
then appealed to the Supreme court
and that court Saturday handed down
decision sustaining the mandamus
requiring recount, but there can be
no recount as Clerk Clayton who has
held over in office, burned the ballots
after one year, as required except in
contests. A recount has never been
styled contest, but there is expect
ed to be considerable trouble over the
matter. 1t brings up several new
points on election law.

a COINCIDENCE.
The officers after whom camps Conrad
and Wetherell were named.

1t seems quite a coincidence, said
Col. Simms, of che adjutant generals
office yesterday, that Camp Conrad,
where the First West Virginia regi-
ment is located at Augusta, Ga, and
Camp Wetherell, where the Second
West Virginia regiment is located at
Greenyille, S. c., are both SO named
after men who were sent here to in
struct the officers in the West Vir-
ginia National Guard, and both of
whom lost their lives in the Santiago
campaign. Capt. Wetherell of the
Sixth United States Infantry, was de-
tailed by the war department to go to
Huntington in 1897 to instruct the
officers of the National Guard and did
so in a very efficient and commend
able manner, and Capt. Conrad of the
Eighth United States infantry was de-
tailed to instruct the officers Of the
National Guard in Charleston in 1898.
These brave men went with their re-
spective regiments and fought in the
battle Of Santiago, and both died
from wounds received in that battle.
OF course these camps did not receive
their names because of Captains Con
rad and Wetherell having visited West
Virginia, but the fact that they were
SO named is an interesting coinci-
dence.
