Geiger-Whiteside Contest.


Helena, Jan. 22.-The Geiger- White
side contest seat case will come UP in
the senate at 2 o'clock Monday after
noon. All the ballots cast in Flathead
county at last November's election
have been brought here by the Flat
head county clerk and are now in the
possession of the senate. They will all
be counted. There seems to be a dis
position on the part of the senators 10
decide the case squarely ON it's merits,
giving the seat to whichever of the two
has a majority of the votes. The only
controversies likely to arise are those
that may be started by the ballots re-
jected by the election judges as defect
i've. The recount will be made in the
presence of the whole senate, but for
the sake of convenience and in order
that there may be no Interruptions the
senate may possibly go into executive
session.

Washington, Jan 22.-The commissioner
OF internal revenue has decided that Legal
cies paid out of the proceeds of real es-
tate directed TO be sold for the purpose
are not subject to the tax upon legacies

the personal property he says there can
be no legacy tax.

THE KING OF COTTON.
The African Limbless.

This celebrated cotton has been known to make as much as four bales to the acre, and at the ex- perimental station of Georgia, last year, out of 30 picked varieties, it took the first place, yielding more per acre and bringing more money. On average good land, with aver age seasons, two bales per acre for this cotton IS not over estimating it. Two years ago the seed sold at $2oo.oo per bushel. We have a few bushel of these seed, which are absolutely pure, which we are selling at ST. per bushel, in order to put them in the reach of all.

THE GREAT PRESIDEN-
 TEAL CAMPAIGN OF 1900.

The pol1e1es of the great po- litical parties are now being formed and the candidates dis. cusscd. The voice of the people as recorded by ballot at the ap- preaching Presidential election will probably decide the policy ofthe nation for the next decade. Every citizen must study the great questions that are to ocome before the people. This can only be done through the medium of a great newspaper. Now Is the time, therefore, for every voter to subscribe for the best and most reliable newspaper obtain- able. The Semi Weekly Repub- lie covers the whole field of po- litical news. While 1t is Demo- cratic, 1t publishes the news in regard to all political parties without prejudice. It's tele- graphic and cable news service is superior to that of any other paper. It's special features are the best. In fact, 1t is the paper for that large class of readers who cannot afford or do not have access to the daily papers.
 Attention Is also called to The Republics Sunday Magazine. It's half-tone illustrations are alone worth the subscription price. It is made up of special articles by the best literary tal- ent, embracing a variety of sub- jects of current interest. New features of absorbing interest are illustrated and enlarged up- on. For the benefit of the ladies the latest fashions are hand somely illustrated. The Repub- lie Sunday Magazine is always interesting to every member of the family
 The subscription price of the Semi Weekly Republic is $1.00 per year. The Republic Sunday Magazine s1 25 per year Both papers are now being offered at the very low price of $50 for one year. To secure this low rate both must be ordered and paid for at the same time.

ture of the Southern states, now in session in Atlanta, believe this will solve the cotton problem. It has already been demonstrated that cotton mills can be operated in the South at less expense than in England or in the Eastern states of this country, and that just as fine grades of goods can be manu- factured by them. The demand for fabrics of this character is in- creasing and will continue to in- crease, and the time for the estab- lishment of cotton mills in the South was never more opportune than now. The cotton mills be- long to the South, and here they must come. During this year about seventy new cotton mills have been established in this sec tion, and there is room for more. The consumption of cotton by the Southern mills increased last year Io7,55S bales over the previous year. The consumption will be larger this year.
 One of the objects of the Allan ta convention is to outline a plan for legislation that will be bene- ficial to the farmers of the South. The best legislation is that which encourages the investment of capi- tai in railroad building and in the establishment of cotton and other mills. When we secure these the farmers of the South will De able to take care of themselves, and the cotton problem will be solved.- Gazette.

TAKE YOUR MEDICINE

The proprietor of the Garibal- di saloon, near our office on Markham street, and opposite the state house, Is credited with saying that one session of the Arkansas legislature is worth $10,000 to his business, and that when the new state capitol Is built he means to move his Sa- loon with 1t. This is terrible indictment of the character of the men whom the people of this state elect to make their laws. To be known as habitue of this saloon while attending the legislature ought to doom any representative to oblivion there after.-Arkansas Methodist.
 We know of one remedy for this evil, and most members of the M. E. Church, South, and the great majority of them be
 long to the Democratic party, will think our remedy worse than the evil: When sober Re publican. if otherwise qualified, Is a candidate and the Democrat a drunkard, 1t would be con- sistent with Chris stianitv, but contrary to Democracy, to vote for the Republican. In other words teach members of the NJ E. Church to be more loyal to the Lord than to the Democrat ic party, and the editor of the Methodist will not be under the necessity of writing such articles as the above, which is thrust at the last legislature, which was over whelmingly Democratic.- Logan County Journal.
 If we accepted the Journals statement as fact the accept ance would carry with it the in- ference that a Republican legis- lature would consume a less amount of intoxicants than a similar body composed ot Demo crats. The Republicans have claimed all kinds of virtues for themselves, but this is the first time they have had the gall to suggest that to elect a Republi- can legislature would diminish sales by Little Rock saloon-keep- CTS. The Journal advises the public to vote for a sober Re publican instead of a drunken Democratic candidate, which IS not practicable. They are all 2 wonderfully sober when they are seeking votes in moral community Ne challenge the implied statement that a Repub- lican is more likely to stay sober after he IS elected.

THE farmer who becomes in fatuated with cotton because of the rise this year is likely to re pent next fall, when, in all prob ability, prices will run low. The demand for good staple this year, owing to the badly dam- aged crop last year, has caused prices to go up to something like reasonable. but this condi- tion will not exist next year, so the cotton farmer had better be careful how he plants.

THE ATLANTA CONVENTION.

THE ATLANTA CONVENTION.
 The commissioners of agriculture of the Southern states are holding an important and interesting meet ing in Atlanta. Nearly all the cotton-producing states are repre- sented in the convention. The ob- ject of the meeting is to discuss such subjects as are of paramount interest to the farmers of the South.
 All other industries are orga- nizing with the view of bringing about legislation that will be bene- ficial to their interests. These or ganizations are not necessarily trusts or combines to fix and con- trol the prices of commodities any more than labor organization, whose object is to prevent unjust exactions of greedy corporations.
 Southern farmers have been slow to organize. They are the last to realize the necessity of concert of action for the better ment of their condition. They elect governors, congressman and legislators and receive less in re- turn for the influence they exert than any other class of citizens. They are now beginning to under stand the necessity of relying upon themselves; that nothing can be accomplished except through com pact organization. The movement was inaugurated several years ago when the planters met in conven- ton and adopted resolutions pro- viding for the reduction of cotton acreage. This proved a failure. In 1897 there were more cotton planters conventions held for the purpose of inducing farmers to plant less cotton than during any year since the movement looking to the organization of the farmers of the South was begun. The resolutions urging curtailment of the crop were prepared with great care and contained all the clinch- ing arguments that the best in formed planters could suggest. They contended that the South was raising a supply of cotton in excess of the demand and that as long as the planters gave all their attention to the cultivation of the staple it's price would always be lower than the cost of production. The result was that in 1898 the South raised the largest cotton crop it had ever produced. A great portion of the crop routed in the fields. This year the yield will probably be 3,ooo,ooo bales less than last season, and the value of the crop may prove to be as great as was the one of last year.
 At present the desire to resolute in favor of reduction of acreage is not so strong as formerly. The farmers see another way out of the difficulty. They find that all the profits arising from cotton produc- ton have been going into the pockets of the manufacturers of cotton goods in New England and Great Britain. In order to revo- lutionize the system by which for eign manufacturers have been liv- ing and growing rich of the South, they propose to interest themselves in the conversion of the raw material they produce into the finished product. They believe the South is capable of manufac- turing all the cotton goods con- sumed in this country and that is needed for export.

in sob.
