The republican, democratic, high IL
cense local-option and prohibition par
ties in Vermont are represented by full
page portraits of their candidates for
governor and complete texts of their
platforms in the August number of The
Vermonter. This feature makes it a
valuable campaign text book.
Another notable feature of the seventh
anniversary number of this state mags-
zine is an article on President Chester A.
Arthur, his birthplace and the monu-
ment to be erected by the state TO his
memory in Fairfield. A full-page por-
trait of President Arthur and views of
his Vermont home illustrate this article.
Hon. John Barrett contributes an inter-
esting article on Siam, profusely illus
trated, and Mr.. Warren Il. Fisher tells
the story of the Old Constitution House
in Windsor. Hon. F. w. McGettrick of
St. Adams, democratic nominee for gov
ernor, appropriately represents "Ver-
mont Men of Today"-fQllowing in line
sketches of Gen. Mccullough and Mr..
Clement previously published.

GOOD TIMES FOR FARMERS.

GOOD TIMES FOR FARM ERS.
Vermont farmers view the conditions
brought about by the coal strike with
extreme complacency. They don't burn
coal, and they do sell wood. The farmer,
by the way, is sharing in the general
prosperity fully as much as his urban rel
atives now. Almost everything that
land turns off commands excellent re-
turns. There is good margin at pres
ent in every well-conducted farm. The
farmer appreciates 1t, and smiles in con-
tentment. His lot has greatly improved
in the past few years, and the improve
meut is not limited to the cash account
The extension of steam, and especially
electric railroad systems, has given him
better transportation facilities, and even
the highways improve from year to year.
The free rural mail delivery is fast being
extended so that it will be only few
years until practically every section will
be served with this valued facility of
communication. And the farm telephone
system will not long hence link scattered
homes together In a way that will Danish
forever the dreaded solitude of agrcultu-
raj life. The giant creamery industries
have lifted load from the over-worked
matrons without loss to the producers.
Farm machinery makes toll light, com,
pared to that of former days, and reduces
the drain occasioned by expensive hired
help. The halcyon era of agriculture is
yet to come.-Randolph Herald.

Is TOO Much Politics" the reason for
the apparent lack of interest in old
home week in Vermont this year? ST.
Adams. which started in to have a cello
uration, has given up the project, gen.
eral apathy being the reason given, and
from other cities and towns come re-
ports of the same condition of affairs. 1t
goes without saying, however, that visit
ors will receive hearty welcome and
the freedom of every city and hamlet in
the state, even though there be not the
accompaniment of fireworks, toy pistols
and parade Of horribles. And really
some of these Fourth of July features
would seem to have no place in proper
observance of old home week.-EnOs-

The proposition which Mr. Clement is
against is revealed by the Montpelier
Journals figures in another column,
showing that if supported solidly by the
Democrats he would still have to gain
one-third of the regular Republican votes
to win. The vote in the Democratic
State convention, which was against
Clement three to one, may not have been
a fair criterion of the sentiment of that
party throughout the entire State, but
that little band "undlminished by death
and unrecruited by birth or conversion"
have way of sticking close to every
thing which bears the party stamp, and

SPORTY But TRUE.

When man sits down to a game of
draw poker and detects another player
cheating, the time to "holler', is when he
discovers the fraud. If he goes ahead
with full knowledge of the deception
and says nothing until the showdown
reveals him loser, he is in a measure
estopped from crying cheat. For he
was willing to take the other fellows
money if he could win it, and gave his
tacit consent to the fraud. This is Mr..
Clements position precisely, allowing
that all his charges respecting the i'm
proper use of money by Mccullough to
secure the nominationsare true. He
knew as much before he allowed his
name to be presented in the convention
as he knows now yet he staked his
chances-and lost. Had he won, he
would have made no scruple about the
proprety of his title. It's baby
act to squeal now. The time for him TO
have bolted, if at all, was before ballot
ing began.-Randolph Herald.

BILL ARP is NOW VERY SICK
His Great Age Leaves Little
Hope for His Recovery.
Atlanta Constitution, Sept. 9th.

Atlanta Constitution, Sept 9th.
Tho many frionds of Major Charlie
III. Smith, of Cartcrsvillc, the Gcorgi
sage whose fame has boon spread tn
country over through his writing unuc
his pscudonym, Bill Arp, will be pain
cd to learn that he is critically i'll a
his home in Cartcrsvillc. For some
months he has been IN feeble health
and during tho last few days has ha(
several attacks from heart trouble
cstcrday he suffered Il very bad at
tack, and while his family and physi
clans hope for his recovery, still hi
may die at any minute.
Major Smith is now 50 years of age
llc holds an unique position among
tho literary men OF The South, and
perhaps has a larger circle of readers
than any man in tho Southern States
engaged III regular work.
Few men in Georgia arc as we'll ac-
quaintod with the early history of the
State rs Major Smith. He is regarded
as an authority un nl! ante bcllum
affairs, and very often in his writings
discusses present problems in the light
OF his experiences in the years before
the war between the States.
For many years Major Smith has
contributed to The Sunday Constitu-
tion. Ills letters have always been
one of the features of the paper, and
there arc numbers of the people all
over Georgia and throughout the entire
South who await tho coming of the
paper with interest, largely on account
of the fact that it is to contain " Bill
Arp's" letter.
These letters have not only been
read by the subscribers to The Sunday
Constitution, but have been reproduced
in the weekly edition and copied reg
ularly by a number Of the leading
dailics of the South, as well as by Il
great many local wccklics. Through
these different agencies Major Smith
reached nearly every home in the
South, and there arc few indeed to
which he has not been extended a
warm welcome.
There has possibly never bcen a
writer who has succeeded so well in
getting close to the hearts Of his
readers as has Major Smith. The
tender sentiments and h0mely phllo-
sophy of the Georgia sage, as well as
his answering loyalty to the cause Of
the Confcdcracy, have caused HIM to
be loved wherever his writings have
been read.
Major Smith has not confined his
energies to newspaper work, but has
also won wide fame as an author
and lecturer. He has large per-
sOnal acquaintance in almost every
section of Georgia, and tho news OF
his illness will bring sadness to many
homes.
