There are many kinds of rules,
some good, better and best. But
the one to be most DEPRECATED is
political machine rule. for where il
prevaies the real choice of the peo-
pie is defeated, and candidates of
ten are slaughtered because OF
them. Jefferson county is under
tneir baneful i1daenee-,and dfs-
perate means are being used to
carry out their plans. 1t is to be
regretted that TO some extent the
like exists in Desha county

HOW CLOVES ARE GATHERED.
More Used In America Than Any Other

More Used In America Than Any Other
Country.
More cloves are said to be used in
America than in any other country,
England and France following in the
order named. In this country and in
Great Britain they are used almost
wholly as a continent, bit IN France
they are used largely in the manufac
ture of certain liqueurs. To some de
gree they are employed in medicine for
their tonic properties. The name Glove
Is from the French clou, meaning
nail. The tree is an evergreen, grow
Ing from forty to fifty feet high, with
large oblong leaves and crimson flow
ers at the end of small branches in
clusters OF from ten to twenty. The
tree belongs to the same family as the
guava, the pomegranate and the rose
apple. The cloves are at first white,
then light green. and at the time OF
gathering bright red. Pieces OF white
cloth are spread under the trees at the
harvesting time, and the branches
are beaten gently with bamboo sticks
until the cloves drop. They are dried
IN the sun, being tossed about daily
until they attain the rich dark color
which proclaims them ready for ship
ment. A Glove tree bears at the age
of about ten years, and continues I'M
til it reaches the age of rs years. There
are two crops a year, one in June and
the other in December. Hot weather
is favorable to the crop, although 4
little fog is said to improve the favor

Use of a Great Name.

Here's a tip for some of our ole
friends who have big names and need
a little ready money: Turner Beali,
president of the Produce Exchange
Trust Company, used to be secretary
of the Produce Exchange and of the
New York Southern Society. Among
the men of his acquaintance he adj
mires none so much as does Colonel
William de Hertburne Washington. A
little while ago he asked Colonel
Washington If he might use his name
In a financial transaction. Having i'm
plicit faith in Bea1l, the colonel con-
scented. and was pleased to receive a
short time afterward check for
$4,000, his share of deal made by
his friend on the strength of the name
OF Washington.

She'd Had Enough

There was Il colored baptizing at
Sandy Bottom, Billville. The last con-
vert to go under the water was an old
colored woman, who all the while had
been seated in rickety buggy drawn
by an ancient mule who had been
through the civil war.
She came up out of the water all
right, but after proceeding short dis
tance on her way home the mule be-
came unmanageable and upset the bug
gy in the middle of a deep creek.
The old woman, with drenched gar
ments, clung to foot log" just as the
parson who had recently baptized her
rode up.
He heard her swearing at the refrac-
tory mule In vigorous terms; then, tax
ing her in his own buggy and driving
to dry land, he said:
"Sister Ca'line, you hez done los all
