Knitting is declared by specialists in

become stiff from the complaint. and it is

Of such sufferers. For persons liable to

GOATS CLEARING LAND.

Prof. W. L. Hutchinson, director OF
the Mississippi Experiment Station, who
has just returned from trip to Louis
lana, reports queer but efectual me-
thod adopted by planter near Wilson,
La, of clearing up large tract OF new
land. The owner has purchased herd
of 800 Angora goats and the animals not
only eat up ali the briars, vines and
small underbrush but they actually
bark tine trees and thus kill them.
Cockleburrs are devoured with much
avidity, while blackberry bushes are
eaten up with especial delight. Even
the hated bitter weed is pulled up by the
roots and devoured, and the farmer has
reduced the cost of clearing land not less
than IS per cent, while his herd of ami
mails also yield nice revenue in mo-
air.--Special to Memphis News.

Hon. John S. Williams friends
felicitate themselves ON the many
speeches sent out by this gentleman
throughout the district We have
no desire to belittle the efforts of Mr..
Williams but we submit that it is
hardly fair to let the fact sway the
minds of our people to the detriment
of other candidates who have not
served so long. True Mr.. Williams
has made many speeches during his
career of fourteen years in congress
and is flooding the district with
them, some of them bearing date of
1897, others July II and January
81, 1900, long before one of his
competitors entered congress. If he
can go back to 1897 why not the
entire fourteen years and bring for
ward all his speeches? Surely the
people will not be caught by these
old speeches. II you are going to
listen to these, you could trace him
back TO the early days of our Phil
lippine troubles and find quite a
variance in his views then and now
as to this great question. The better
way is to judge the candidates by their
present presentation Of themselves be-
fore the people, and eff Sparta has
more worthy sons" honor them as
they have honored themselves. This
is time for the people to judge the
candidate by what he says now, how
he says it, ETC., not by speeches de-
livered years ago. We stand upon the
pretext: Who is best now?

People from every section Of Ran

will practically have walkover in

Is deserving of the support of every
man who believes in giving young
man who has not had the advantages
Of wealth and an education in for
eign country chance in the world.
Pat Henry studied law in Brandon in
the Office of his distinguished uncle,
gallant Major Patrick Henry, who
served his constituents faithfully for
four years in Congress. The younger
Henry being denied the advantage of
college education because of the I'M
poverished condition of his people,
brought about by the cruel civil war,
he set about to fit himself for the
battle of life by snatching an educa-
ton between suns, and while others
were enjoying luxurious quarters in
noted colleges Pat Henry was pouring
over his books in the quietude of
modest country home by the light of
an ordinary kerosene lamp, and it
was in this manner that he has worked
his way through life to seat in Con-
gress OF the United States. Every
position he has held has been won by
merit, and the fact that he has been
promoted to higher places by the
people is splendid tribute to his great
ability and his noble manhood. He
has been In Congress but one session,
but in that short time he has gained
reputation to be envied by men who
have served in that body for years.
He has made himself popular with the
members of our national legislature
and the heads of the several depart
ments of the government which en-
ables him to WELD an influence in the
affairs of the nation that is of the
greatest value to the people he repre-
scnts and the party of which he is an
honored and distinguished member.
BY returning this brilliant young
man to Congress our people will only
be doing themselves great credit and
honor. No man believing in the
survival of the fittest can afford to
cast his vote against Judge Pat Henry
on election day.

SOUTHERN FARM LANDS TO Al.
VANCE.

Never in the history OF the United
States has there been such an active de-
mand for farm lands throughout the en-.
tire Northwest, nor such phenomenal
advance in prices as during the past
three years. In Illinois the ad rance has
been from 800 to $3.50 per acre; in Iowa,
from $50 to $75, and even higher: in
Minnesota, from SIS to $50, and in South
Dakota, from $3.50 to $50. Real estate
prophets and others have each wear
predicted the.top had been reached. and
that prices must decline. Such how.
ever, has not been the case. On the
contrary, not only practical farmers.
but bankers, mechanis, merchants and
manufactures having idle money have
shown their confidence in the future of
cultivable lands by making liberal land
investments.
The question now agitating the minds
OF all real.estate agents Through whom
80 per cent, OF all the farm land are
sold) is, where can we find low. priced
real estate, and where will be the next
great advance in lande
| advise all Ieal-estate agents and
others who handle farm lands that
every indication now points to the South
as the center ofthe next great boom.
and our reasons for thinking this are
based upon the following facts:
Southern farm lands are so low. AZ
compared with the market value OF
Southern farm products. To illustrate;
In Iowa lands selling in the market for
$50 to s75 per acre are rented for only s.
per acre. In Mississippi, and especially
in the great cotton belt, the Mississippi
valley, improved plantations can be
bought at from $50 to $50 per acre, and
really rented at from So to s. per acre
cash, or, what is better at the present
high price OF cotton, for 100 pounds OIL
lint cotton per acre, and upon which
the taxes are not more than half VIVA,
they are in Iowa or Illinois, J.
