State Ticket

The Republicans Of Wisconsin have
elected their ticket 10y one Of the
largest majorities ever registered on
an off year The legislature is
Republican in both branches. 1t is
about conceded that one congressman
OF the eleven will be a Democrat.
Never before has a Democratic
candidate received such we'll
deserved drubbing as David 5. Rose
sustained at the hands of the voters
Tuesday Mr.. Rose with The aid IT
all the railroad corporations MAS
unable to overcome the lead Of Gov.
LaFollette who waged such d strong
fight for the people against the mud
throwing and uncertain principles of
his opponent. Gov. LaFollette not
only won a splendid victory for hini-
self and his party but for the people
of the state at large regardless Of
party Affiliations.
The other candidates on the state
ticket are also elected 10y large
majorities.
The efforts of united Democratic
party have thus received deadly
blow. Their attempt TO profit by the
division in Republican ranks came 'o
naught. The people believe that this
proud state of ours is large enough FOL
two such eminent men as Gov. LaFol'

also said that the principles Of equa
taxation and nominations by direct

want it reformed or not" Now, as a
matter of fact, the constitution does
not make that provision. While it
would be step in the right direction
to choose United States senator's
directly by the people, the reform can
not be accomplished by the method
Mr.. Bryan suggests. The method OF
amendment is materially different
from the one laid down above.

! When the other children arose they
found their mother weeping for Joy
and light in their fathers eyr
which they had not seen since the
good old times when he used to play
hide and seek with them. The will
which divided the old mans estate
equally between his two daughters
had just been read.
After the excitement had subsidized

The children gathered about the
fireplace, each eager to be the first
to discover where the will came
from. 1t must have been in the pie

suggested Alice.
The portrait was taken down and
examined. The board in the back
was loose, and when mamma pulled
on it, out fell four slips of faded
green paper.
"roadskins!" cried Carl, dancing
for joy.
That day a luciOus feast was spread
in the living room. The turkey was
the best that could be found and
the plum pudding was the old

He will ship between three and four
thousand boxes this season and with
the average increase of well kept

and he will reap his reward. IL
this grove you can find grape fruit,

oranges of the finest. Kumquot

There will be something of a let-up

holidays. Late advices show that
the northern market is well supplied
with tangerines, and further ship
ments of that fruit, for the present,
are not advised.
D. A. Latta a former well-known
and much esteemed citizen of this
place, who, with his family moved
to Griffin, Ga, soon after the '95
freeze, writes the News that he is
GLAD to note the increase of orange
shipping among my old friends and
neighbours" and expresses the "hope
that the business may continue to
develop, unchecked by damaging
cold" Mr.. Latta should know that
our people have resolved not to
have any more damaging cold in this
generation. We've done had one
full share" Mr.. Latta speaks of the
steady development of his present
home city along industrial lines, in
which his old friends here will hope
he is getting his full share.

81 Says a Washington dispatch OF
Saturday, to the Alanta Journal:
President Roosevelt has outwitted con-
gress. Both house and senate passed
the bill for a permanent census bureau
with the understanding that all of the
2,3OO clerks now in the bureau should,
upon the bill becoming u law, be placed
in the classified service. But President
Roosevelt would not have it that way.
He sent for Senator Quarles and Rep
resentative Hopkins, members OF the
conference committee, and directed
them to put a section in the bill pro-
viding that only such clerks as are In
the census office July 1st shall go into
the classified service without eXamlna-
ton. The clause was inserted. Then
Hopkins and Qual.les reported back to
the house and senate that the confer
ence committee had agreed upon the
bill practically as it had been adopt
ed. Thereupon it was passed without
further question. 1t was not the orig
inal bill, but gold brick. Under the
Roosevelt clause, Director Merriam will
fire all clerks in the bureau before July
1st. except the $50 he needs for the per-
manent bureau. He Is a Republican

SHIPPING CORN BY MAIL.-A thou
sand bushels Of corn sent by mail from
Richmond to the towns in Northwest
ern Arkansas, will be the proposition
the railroad mail service men will have
to contend with for the next ten days.
It will be shipped in two bushel bags,
at the rate Of 100 bushels day, be-
ginning today. The corn is shipped by
T. w. Wood & Son, of this city, for
the United States Agricultural bureau
to relieve the situation in that section
of Arkansas, where the corn crop last
year was practically failure. The
scarcity of seed makes it necessary for
the government to supply the demand
and give the farmers of that section
seed for the approaching planting sea-
son. The variety which has been Sc
lected with care for western soil is
known by Virginia seedmen and farm
ers as the Virginia White Dent, /"
grown largely on the river bottom
farms along the James, where, in fact,
the seed which goes to Arkansas, was
raised last year.
The greatest quantity Of the grain
is consigned to dealers in Harrison and
Melbourne, Arkansas, which have been
selected as distributing points by the
government. 1t is not unusual for the
government to distribute seed by mail
but in such bulk is new condition FOL
the mail clerks running out Of Rich
mond, and has occasioned rather Wig
orous comment among those who have
before them the prospect of handling
100 bags Of corn daily for ten days.
