Before the atste conventions OF 1855
Senator Wolcott and some of his cam
paign workers undertook to carry ont q
scheme to prevent fusion between the
three silver parties OF the state. Men
who had affiliated with the popnlist par
ty were sent out over the state to 80
manipulate the selection OF delegates to
the state convention ny to secure, II pos.
sible, delegates who were opposed to
fusion. A msn who had been prominent
in the popul,st party was sent into this
part OF the state and he used his utmost
endesvors to carry out the instructions
Of Senator Wolcott and secure delegates
who would vote against fusion but, to
the credit OF the populists of northeast
ern Colorado, he failed and, in this nen-
atorial district, did not succeed IN get
ting . single delegate. This man, soon
after the holding OF tho state convent
ion, threw of his mssk and came out for
che Mckinley ticket. The same under
h"uooo 6SueAe WA0 unoeitnheh " Pto-
vent the silver republican convention
from carrying out the vish Of 4 large
msiority Of the party by fusion with the
two other silver parties and, Id this case,
was more successful for 1t resulted In q
split In the convention. Some Of the
Woloo,t campaign workers are attempt,
ing to work the same acheme in this
campaign. The aim OF the schemsrs
will be to have mon selected who claim
to be members Of these parties but who
are not what they claim to be aud are
really working under instructions from
the Wolcott machine. They will not
succeed In catching the members OF
these parties IN any such a trap. It
seems very strange that man holding
the high office that E. o. Wolcott does,
would endorse any such disreputabis
methods o. this. He knowa very wsll
that in most Of the state the nembers Of
these parties are almost unanimous in
their demand for fusion Of the three
silver parties and, by oountenancinR
such scheme as this, he shows that he
would il he could, prevent the wishes
Of the members Of these parties from be-
ing carried out In their own party con
ventions simply in the hopes that there

creased. 1t would not be surprising to
lind ward politician in one Of our large
cities engaging IN such campaign
schemes. Such campaigning 10 simply
disgusting to avery fair minded voter
and the man or men who are guilty OF
stopping to such political methods, re-
gardlsss OF their party affiliations,
should be sat down upon by the voter.
in . manner that would warn them to 10
more careful in their campaign methods.
Some politicians seem 10 conduct their
campaigns on the principle that anything

Gathering Time.

Although it is some time off
yet it is not too early to begin
making up our minds to begin
gathering early and do it rapidly
and in clearly manner. There
is no crop in which there is so
much waste and damage in saw
ing as in cotton. The actual
waste in fields around baskets
and knocked out by stock run.
ming in the field and around
gins is enormous. The crop
can be very much added to by a
new order along this line both as
to price and actual weight lost.
Cotton left long in the fields after
it opens looses weight by the
drying effects of winds and sun.
Let the watchword be commence
early, gather rapidly and
clearly as to dirt, trash and
from the bolls.
The Canton times. (Canton, Miss.) 1893-1906, 1900-07-20
Texas Cotton Crop.

1t is a we'll established fact OF
late years that the annual cotton
crop as to number of bales de-
ponds greatly upon the Texas
Weld. The Houston Post says
after careful survey of the field
of most reliable reports that the
crop cannot possibly be above
an average one. 1t says the crop
is in all stages of growth from
the young tender plant just out
of the ground up to the matured
stalk with boles ready to open.
The government report gives the
July LIST average as 1873 and
Texas as IS. This gives Texas
3.e above the July average, but
the 10 year July LIST average is
$40, which puts Texas 9.9 below
the last 10 years. This would
indi cate that the Post is wrong
in expecting an average crop.
The governm emit report is the
farmers reliance as it undoubted-
ly indicates bad yield every
where.

Fall Garden.

There is no use in any family
living all fall and winter without
vegetables. Plant you a fall
garden. Ofsuch things as will
not bear until frost that were
planted in the spring or sum-
mer. Plant Irish potatoes, cab
bage of early maturing variety.
turnips now in rows and later
broadcast. If you have no pole
beans plant dwarf ones. A few
small additions to things from
spring planting and little extra
care will tell wonderfully and
add greatly to the table luxuries.

Care Of Table Linens.
By KENTUcKISNNE.

l know how dainty and careful
the dear house wives in the
South are in regard to their
linen napery, and their tables
are always attractive. The most
beautiful Numbered table linens
l have ever seen were done by
the colored laundresses of the
South. We have excellent ones
also in Kentucky, but they excel
in New Orleans and in Florida.
It is 10 regard to the saving OF
table linens that 1 wish to write.
| have found it such d saving OF
damask linen cloths Especially
the large dinner cloths) to use
the small pieces, such as carving
cloths for the meat dishes, it
protects the large cloth, and then
a tea-tray cloth at the head, and
then the center-piece and smaller
doylies. They are easily wash
ed, and you can put on fresh
ones every few days, and you
can save your clothes by this
practice and also your laundry
bill. l wash mine out myself in
a bowl filled with soft rain water
and put in a tablespoonful OF
pearline, with a little white soap
and wash out quickly in the
suds, then rinse and iron while
damp. 1t is wonderful saving
of pin money, besides you save
in the wear and tear of your
table linen. One nice white
cloth will last a week if you use
the small pieces; besides it or
naments the table, freshens it
up. and makes it prettier and
more attractive. IT the stains
get on the large cloth, pour boil
ing water through the stain at
once, as washing it sets the stain
of fruit. l feel like every house
wife should know of this; the
butchers linen makes pretty
ones and l simply hem stitch
them about an inch wide, hem or
outline them with some pretty
pattern. 1t pays to make up a
half dozen changes while making
them. OF course the center
piece may be more elaborate,
but the carving cloth is covered
by the meat.dis h and wants to be
plain and substantial. Every
house wife who has adobted this
plan has been delighted, and say
it has saved their handsome
damask linens very much and
ad wise others to use them
