WHY THEY FAIL.


Many northern farmers come South, buy lands, make
failures crops and to their Northern homes and
tell ali kinds of meanaes about the South its lands and
people.
The REASON of these failures most all be attributed
to cause and that is most of those who come think
the Southern farmer planter is fool and don't know
how to farm and with their large parare pows and cul
tvaors attempt to show him how. The result is while
the Southern fifty bushels of and bale
of cotton the by his farming methods that fe's
study has proven the best for SOIL and climate
northern western neghbor just across the fence with
the kind of SOIL but by nudicous work and leaving
his stalks to thick in hill because he made that
way in Illinois, his crop is almost failure All these
experiments have been tested by people and found to
fail And the Northern farmer who will come here and
take half the advice from his southern neghhors and toll
low IT, he will return to his ieyce home in Iowa or
Illinois with long tale of woe, but will be Of the
happy and contented farmers of Mississippi.

How IL Affected the Careers of Mo-
KinIey and Roosevelt


KinIey and Roosevelt
Fate is peculiar 1t knows better

fixes our destiny without our knowl-
edge, and often against our Will, says
Leslies Weekly. William McKinleys
most vigorous battle was his contest
for the speakership with Thomas b.
Reed, in 1890, which Reed won. Ac-
cording to custom, Mr. Reed made his
distinguished opponent chairman or
the ways and means committee. and
thus ii was that the protective tariff
measure drafted by that committee,
largely through the influence OF Mr..
Mckinley, came to be popularity known
as the Mckinley bill" This made
Mckinley the champion OF the work
ing masses, the candidate OF his party
for president, and finally gave him
triumphant election and reelection for
the Office OF chief magistrate. AT the
Republican national convention at
Philadelphia. little over year ago,
the party leaders OF New York insisted
that Governor Roosevelt must accept
the tender OF the vice presidency. He
resolutely declined insisting that he
was entitled TO reelection to the gov
ernorship. The party leaders OF New
York, aided by those of Pennsylvania
and several other states. forced the
nomination of Roosevelt, and then
compelled his reluctant acceptance.
Scarcely six months have elapsed since
his inauguration, and he is now the
president of the United States, with
nearly a full term 10 serve. This Is
destiny and who shall say that the
Fates are always unkind?
