Why Didn't You Condemn 1t Before the
August Election.
Hickory Times Mercury.
You hear good men admitting
that it was wrong for drunken DEM
ocrat roughs to go around and try
to terrorize the people, but say the
Democratic party is not responsible
for it. When they escort the Dem
ocratic candidate for vernon
around from place to place, when the
fact was advertised by the Demo-
cratic papers, and when it was not
condemned by single Democratic
paper in the State, and received the
approval of Chairman Simmons and
his State candidates, even Rev. Dix
on, their candidate for Auditor, no
one can say truthfully that the party
is not and ought not to be held re-
spOnsible for it.

To Control Price OF Cotton Seed.

A Jackson Miss, dispatch states
that numerous conferences are being
held by the cotton oil manufacture
ers of Mississippi with view to
controlling prices to be paid for seed.
The mills are now paying SIC per
ton and as the crop is fifty per cent
short, it is the general belief that
the prices will advance to at least SIS
within the next few weeks.
The manufacturers say, however,
they cannot afford to pay more than
the present price and that they are
losing money on seed products at
the prevailing figures. Many of
the mills are holding their oil in the
expectation of an advance. 1t is
thought two-thirds of the mills will
be closed down by Christmas on &C.
count of the seed shortage.
