BROOM corn SEED.
Tradition Says franklin Planted the
First One in This Country.

First One in This Country.
From the Buffalo Express.
Every housewife is supposed to know
how TO handle broom. but it is safe TO
say that not one in ten has any clear idea
of what her sweeping utensil is made o.
or how it is made, or where the material
came from. Brooms are made from the
heads or brushes of the broom corn. a
first cousin to our common field corn. And
in this connection is told very pleasant
little fairy story concerning Benjamin
Franklin Poor Richard" by the way
seems to have been about the biggest jack
of-all trades that ever helped the United
States to become the richest and most
powerful nation of the world. II this story
is true, he is The patron saint of the
housewife and the broommaker, as well as
a kite flyer, lightning catcher, printer
publisher, editor, author, philosopher.
statesman and other things TO numerous
to mention"
Broom corn first grew In India. From
there ID was carried to Europe. The story
goes that DR.. Franklin was examining a
whisk broom that had been brought over
from England in the days before we had
any broom corn of our own. He found q
single seed on the broom, picked II Off
planted it and raised a stalk of corn from
which is descended, so TO speak, ali of the
broom corn of the United States. How
ever this may be, broom corn grows much
like its first cousin, our maize, which orig
mated here. The head is larger, however
and the seeds grow on the heal instead
of i'm ears. The heads are cut off, leaving
about six inches OF stalk and the seeds are
scraped off by a machine Which does a
clean job and does not injure the broom,
The seeds are valuable in way. They are
fed to horses and poultry, and ground into
meat for cattle In the making of the
brooms the corn is put around a handle of
Eastwood or soft maple turned in a lathe
Each layer is wound tight with Irvine or
wire until the desired size il attained. The
broom Is then pressed out fiat and sewed
TO keep it in that shape. Whisk brooms
are made in the same way.

OUR NEEDS.

Get to business, and. with the
same time and money expended
in politics Mt. Sterling can have a
college equal to any in the State.
We need college, for boys and
for girls. We can by the same
energy and outlay have water
works and motors to keep in mo-
ton every light piece of machin-
cry in the city-give water for
fires, etc.
With the same application and
combined effort we could have an
other railroad or railroads to
cheaper our rate and unearth our
rich store houses. Get to bust

Election is over and the mex

Election is over and the next
disturbing element will be the in
auguration and Legislative enact
ments. These things will engage
the attention of the politicians
while the workingmen, those who
pay the expense Of the govern
ment, just saw wood and say moth
ing. 1t is obligatory on all good
citizens to see that equitable laws
are enacted and enforced; that no
man or men are legislated in ia
vor Of to the Acknowledgement Of
the interests of others. Let the
law be to the interests Of the en-
tire people. In this day of the
concentration Of capital it be-
hooves the farmer to turn from the
pillow, the smith from his anvil, the
student from his books and the
professional man from his duties
to the Legislative halls where he
may point out and plead for equal
rights to all men. This done and
greed for that gain which impov-
erishes the many to the benefit of
the classes will have a check and .
the public will strive for promi-
nence on equal footing.

Carrie Anderson, Mary Galewood and
Laura Gatewood assisted the hostess
in receiving. Dancing was pleas
ing feature of the evening. An ele-
giant supper was served. This recep-

couples.

there are laws by which misdoings
could be corrected.
From some sources returns are
coming in slowly, From others
there are many inaccuracies. For
instance a report went out
from here Tuesday that the county
would go 90 Democratic and the
returns afterwards showed that
the county went Republican 48.

FOR THE PARTY.

The readers Of the ADVOCATE
are ready to declare that we have
done our full duty to the Demo
cratic party, We believe in the
doctrines of Democracy; that when
carried into effect they redown to
the best interest of the entire coun-
try.
For this doctrine we have given
our powers. We have plead with
Democrats to stand by the organi-
cation, when they themselves, if
true to principle, should have
been pleaders also. The time for
pleading is over and if Democracy
is caused to trail in shame, to be
dominated by that party which is
in sympathy with centralized
capital and concentrated forces we
are in no way party to the humilia-
ting deed.
We delight to contend against
an open enemy but he who would
wear the uniform of one party and
fight under the flag of another,
we have not yet learned how to
combat. If you are asked how
the ADVOCATE feels over the re-
suits just say she will continue to
fight for those principles which
make all men equal and free,
The time is coming when those
voters who deserted Democracy
and allied themselves with a party
which many Of them taught, their
ways were corrupt, will rue their
action ofthe 9TH day Of November
I899 Republicans will have no
more use for them and the conf
lenCe Of Democrats in them is
shaken.
Diminishing State affairs for the
present we now turn to national
politics and for the same doctrines
We have contended in the State we
hall work and favor that they be
doptcd by the nation.

identity yourself with party that
would incite riot and bring upon
our State disgrace1 Kentuckians,

read the speeches Of Bradley,
Denny, and others who, if they did
not declare it, did by their pres
ence give countenance to the ex-
preston delivered to an ignorant
multitude "wade knee deep in
blood or secure your rights.
Think on this and like expressions
to the ignorant classes and then
consider the insults to and assaults
on your women and ask the ques-
ton, who is responsible for it1 It's
the politician that levels himself
with the brute man that makes him
to believe he is equal to the REIN

him in his assaults.
