Nows In and Around Return.

RETURN, October 3.--Wo are glad to
note that Mr.. e. r. Price's little daughter
is convalesoing under the skillful treat
ment of Dir. Joe Strihling, of Seneca.
There are no new cases of fever in this
section.
Mr. and Mrs. A. W Tannery arc visit
! Ing relatives and friends III the South
Union neighLorhood this week.
We arc having somo cool weathor at
present. Light frosts for the past week.
1t has been good while since wo had
so much frost in Soptomber.
The early fall will not DO of much dis
advantage, as tho cotton crop is about all
opon. 1t is injuring tho late pea crop
and forage, which were about q failure
anyway.
Thcre is something worry singular about
tho turnips this year. They aro about a
complete failure on old land Those
who were fortunate enough to SOW their
/ seed on fresh land have nne turnips.
There is a crop of young grasshoppers
which are destroying tho turnip crop in
many localities.
The cotton market in Seneca has been
lively for tho past few days, which has
enthused new onorgy, both in merchants
and farmers.
The FREQ ginning, which opened in
Seneca some time ago, has thoroughly
aroused the people and n great many
rushed their cotton thero to have it
ginncd. Now they arc ginning at about
half toll. There is n puzzle in ginning
and in making oil out of cotton seed
that can't solve. Last year seed sold
for 81 and IS per ton. Moal sold at $50
per ton; hulls 81 per ton. Seed now
sell for $12 por ton, and you can buy
mcal for $lS per ton, and hulls ut $3.50
por ton. If they can do that now, what
ought thoy to have sold meal and hulls
at whom thoy bought seed at 81 por tonP
Now this uon't include $3.50 worth of
free ginning, which makes tho sced $3.50
moro than the usual price this year, and
$3.50 per ton moro than last years prico.

his lawyer that he did not intend to
fire the pistol, but to hold it so that
explanations might follow, but in the
excitement of the moment he pulled
the trigger. The Governor rcmitted
a portion of tho sentence. But
through life tho manslayer must have
bitterly rued the moment when he
put the pistol in his pocket that day.
The man WHO habitually goes armed
now, habitually goes prepared, in a
sudden gust of passion, to take the
life of human being for a real or
supposed offensc. Instead of begin
ming the day with the humble petit
ton, "Lcad me not into temptation,"
he goes deliberately into temptation.
The custom of carrying deadly wea-
pons does not encourage the feeling
and spirit of a truly brave man.
Several years before the civil war,
there was time of angry discussion
in the Senate of the United States.
Our Senator, James III. Hammond,
was advised to keep loaded pistol
in his desk, as the reign of violence
might be suddenly ushered in. Ho

To VIM. Mckinley, President.

Your patron, Hanna, in large way, and
you in the slight and passive way that
tamely follows, have had much to do
with coal mines and the slaves of lamp
and pick who dig in them. And what is
the grimy story? To-day 20 per cent of
all Americas coal miners speak English
and So per cent are Slavs. Why? Be
cause Hanna and YOU, and such as you,
his partners, followers and tools, have so
squeezed and crushed and pared, and
trimmed, and gouged the man with the
pick that the lustiest young miner can't
as an aggregate make 500 in a year.
the Awerican miner can't live on it; he
dwindles and his lamp dies out in the
procession Of coal-hole illuminants. The
Slav stays; his home a howell; his food
coarse bread and onions, with once a
week his Sunday beer; his family moth
ing; his domestic life based on one "wife''
to ten men. The wife" keeps the hovel
cooks and laundries for 81 a week and
her share of the loaf and leek and mug
while her decimal husbands ply with
pick and fuse. These are true coal mine
conditions; none know it better than YOU

The contest for the nomination OF
sheriff on the 29th promises TO be lively
one. This is as it should be. With the
excellent candidates before the voters
and an opportunity for each voter to ex-
press his choice the wish of the majority
should rule. Do not depend on someone
else. "If you want any thing done do
it yourself, if you don't send some ONE. "
The important event is the primary on
the 10Th and not the election in Novem-
Der. With good full vote polled and
the consequent feeling that the choice Of
the majority Of those to whom this call
is addressed has been expressed, there
can be no uncertainty as to the election
of the ticket in full. With a united op-
position the republicans can easily be de-
feated. The great question before the
people Of this county is whether the man
or the dollar shall rule. All other differ
ences pale into insignifcance beside this.
Upon this question all those to whom
this call is addressed are agreed. The
republican party stands for the suprema-
cy of the dollar over the man. The con-
test this fall is the beginning of the
greatef contest in 1900. Every advant-
age gained now means more than is gen
orally supposed upon the one to follow.

"We have before US the case OF a

combination, organized for private

is competent to protect the people
of the United States against such
dangers, except a national power
one that is capable Of exerting its
sovereign authority throughout every
part of the territory and over all the
people Of the nation1"

A Word About the Candidates Announced.

The parties who have announced
themselves as candidates before the
primary election to be held on the
29th inst. are all we'll known.
W. E. Wood, the present county
clerk, two years ago was nominated
by Populist convention. He has
made a competent and efficient officer
He has made many friends during
the time he has been 10 the county
clerks office and it seems to be uni
versally conceded that he is entitled
to a second term. Mr.. Wood is a
democrat.
J. P. Winner of Green township is
an old time POpuIist and is well
known in every part Of the county.
Polk says that if nominated for tress
urer he will do all he can to secure
his own and the entire tickets cleo
tiOn.
Frank P. Mercer is a resident OF
Eden township. He formerly lived in
London township and is quite well
known in the northern portion of the
county. He is farmer and runs a
threshing machine. Mr.. Mercer wants
the sheiff's Office because he feels com.
petent to iii the office and needs the
revenue. Mr.. Mercer is an old and
tried Populist.
c. c. Shawver Of Wellington is also
applicant for the nomination of sher-
III. He is an old timer. In the early
day when there was very little chance
for an election he ran twice for sher.
itf'S office. He has been deputy sher-
i'll at different times and has been
city marshal OF Wellington a number
Of years. Mr.. Shaver is a democrat.

By the Morse or ordinary system of
sending telegraphic messages one wire
Will transmit rs ten-word messages per
hour. By new system, lately invented,
10000 ten-word messages may be sent
over one wire in one hour. A great
source of annoyance and expense. espec-
taly in the larger cities, is the large num-
Der OF wires. If the government owned
the telegraph this system would be
adopted as it is being in Hungary. With
government ownership and proper man
agement Of the telegraph it would not be
long until messages would be sent as
cheaply as letters. The United States is
the only country on earth that does not
own and operate the telegraph. Due to

Many valuable public documents may
be secured by simply asking for them.
One cent for postal card is all that is
required. These documents are furnish
ed at public expense, ask for them. The
following letter to the editor from the
experiment station of the Agricultural
College is in answer to an inquiry and is
self-explanatory:
'YOur name has been placed on our
regular bulletin list and we shall gladly
furnish bulletins free to all who make
application for them"
These bulletins are exceptionally prac-
tical and useful to farmers. This depart
ment, like many others, state and ma
tional, may be made much more useful
to the public if the public will call for
the information which they are prepared
to give and will cheerfully furnish if
called upon to do so. Apostal card ad-
dressed to the Secretary, State Board of
Agriculture; to the Secretary, Court Of
Visitation; to the Secretary of State, To-

there is dollars to US in commerce

point of dollars they will not be
profitable to us; but there is a more
important question. A question
more important even than the brutal

ignting for independence. 1t is the
shedding of the blood and the
wrecking Of the health of the brave
boys, our brothers, who enlisted in
the cause Of humanity and are
now being used to form and build

demand for large standing army
