Tobacco Notes.
E. G. Hopkins is looking after farming
interests in the Kickapoo this week.
Norm earle was up from GAINESVILLE
Monday receiving purchases at this sta
ton.
Mr.. L. We'll of New York, has been
picking up few old goods in the local
markets during the week.
/ Mr.. Dwight LOOMS of Springfield,
Mass, has been in the market during
the week looking after the sampling of a
packing in store here.
The force sweating of 300 cases of New
England leaf put up by Fl. S. McGiffin
at GAINESVILLE has been completed. The
lot comes out ia excellent shape without
spot or blemish.
Mr.. Frank Ruscher of New York, of
the old established inspection firm of
Ruscher & Mellor, has been making a
tour of the local markets during the
week. The firm is represented in this
state by Geo. McGiffin.
The firm of J. Friedman & Co., Chica-
60 leaf dealers who are large holders OF
1900 Wisconsin, have abundant faith in
that crop and are still in the market for
more. Their sales of this tobacco have
been liberal and it is giving excellent
| satisfaction to manufacturers.
Michael O'Connell of Burke recently
sold four acres of tobacco at 10 and 3
cents that brought him Sl25 per acre. 1t
was asso rted. What other crop can the
farmer raise that in one year will bring
more than the land is worth?
The attention of tobacco growers is
called to the advertisement in this paper
of the Bemis Tobacco Transplanter,
| which has become one of the necessary
tools in tobacco raising. The old relia-
| bile Fuller-J Johnson planter has been the
! most popular machine on the market
answering every requirement needed.
Agents for the planter can be found in
every tobacco growing section. Call on
! them for prices or terms.

What Politics Will Do.

This is what Urey Wood
son has to say of politics, in
the Owensboro Messenger,
and most men who have dab
bled therein will heartily en-
dorse the sentiment: ut is
a nasty game. It is heartless
and selfish. It begets liars,
hypocrites, ingrates and seal
awags. 1t utterly destroys
the confidence of men in men.
1t is worse than an empty
bauble. If it were only that,
it would not be so bad. 1t
destroys the capacity of men
to make-o of themselves useful
and successful citizens in
other pursuits"

The United States Treasu-
ry statement the population
July l, at 70, 117,0OO. OF the
increase of 100000 since
the census of 1900, more than
one million is due to immigra-
ton. America is still the
land Of opportunity to the
working people of Europe.
The steady demand for labor
and the comparatively high
wages paid are tremendous
attractions to men and women
with whom the bare struggle
for existence is a severe real
ity. Evidently the immigra-
ton problem will not solve
itself by dwindIing to nothing
as was once fondly hoped.
So long as the social pressure

A writer, who claims to
have studied the question
uses the police Court records
and the census returns to
warn the world against early
marriage. Apparently ne
thinks that people who marry
before they are q incur great
dangers. Statistics have
shown of late that divorces
are much more frequent
among those who marry late.
OF course those who marry
early have more time in which
to get divorced. Even when
this fact has been reckoned
with however, there still
seems to the statisticians to
be reason to think that the
marriage of minors is in gen
eral a mistake. There is no
particularly disquieting ele-
ment in the problem. Early
marriages are much more
common among the poor than
among the rich. Now early
marriages lead to domestic
unhappiness. Should not the
rich, therefore, be happier
domestically than the poor?
If not, where does the trouble
come in? 1t is the mere pos
session of wealth and it's OPP
portunities that make the

Kentucky's War Claim.

The Spanish War claims of
the State of Kentucky pre-
scented to the department by
Capt. c. G. Calhoun, of Lex
ington, will be certified by
the Auditor within a few
days. They will amount to
about $50, 900, which is in ex-
cess of the amount expected
by the State officials. These
claims involve pay due sol
diers of the four volunteer
regiments. Capt. Calhoun
said today that he will appeal
from the decision of the Au-
ditOr to the Controller of the
Treasury as soon as certifi-
cation is made. The Auditor
he said, settled the claims
upon a basis which will not
allow the regiments as much
as they are entitled to. For
example the rations and pay
of the first and second I'egi-
ments from the time they re-
ported for duty to the date of
enrolment have been disal-
lowed. Capt. Calhoun be-
lieves the Controller will pass
upon the case and dispose of
the appeal within a month,
and in the event of favorable
action the soldiers will re-
ceive about $4,000. No con
gressional action is necessary
for the payment of this claim.

PREHISTORIC RELICS WANT

ARCHAEOLOGY.
Recently Established at Phil

Andover. Mass. May %, 1902.
Editor of the Richmond
CLIMAX.
Dear Sir-Phillips Acade-
my, Andover Mass, has re.
Gently established a Depart
ment of Archaeology. My
object in writing you is to
encourage the preservation
of stone, bone and clay pre-
historic art forms. In your
section of the country are
frequently found various
'Indian relics" These have
a direct bearing on the histo-
ry-or rather pre-history-of
America, and as such should
be preserved in fireproof
buildings for the study and
edification of present and flu
ture generations.
[ am persuaded that there
may be persons who have
found some remains of the
ancient Indian tribes, Mound
builders" ETC., and that, pos
sibly, they would be willing
to send them to us. We shall
be gla | to pay express char
ges on any and all boxes of
specimens sent to us, to men,
ton the gifts in our report
and to give the donors due
credit in our exhibition cases.
All these axes, pipes, spear
heads, clay vessels and
strange Stones, should be
carefully preserved some
where, where they may be of
service to the public and to
science. Archaeology-tech-
nically followed is a new sci
ence in the United States and
it is more important than the
average reader imagines, for
these "stone relics" have a
direct bearing on the antiqui-
ty of man. I shall be glad to
correspond with persons who
have relics" in their pos
session. Thanking you, I am.
Yours very truly,
Warren K. Moorehead,
Curator.

Earmarks Of a Good Farm.


But wherever he lives,
North or South or in the CEN
ter of the State, there are
characteristics, earmarks so
to speak, by which the farm
of the up-to-date farmer is
quickly recognized. 1t has a
tidy appearance, the fences
are in order. The gates are
on their hinges and swing
free. There are no weeds by
the roadside. His house and
barns are painted. The doors
of his barns are hooked shut
or open, they are never left
swinging. His animals are
never calling for water nor
his windmill for oil. Such a
farm is benefaction to the
neighborhood and a benedic-
ton to its occupants.-Joseph

Gas Reduction.

About one year ago this company
materially reduced gas and water rates.
1t has been so encouraged by increased
patronage in both during the present
year that it has determined to allow
a discount of 25c per l 600 feet on illu-
minating gas, furnished on and after
Dec, /. 1901, thereby reducing the net
price of:gas from 500 to Sl.75.
B9But notice is especially given
that this discount on gas will not re
allowed to any person who fails to pay
his gas bill on or before the 10 of each
month at the Office, or who is indebted
to the company for water. All delin-
quent persons will be required to pay
the present rate penalty without e,I-
ceptioD.

There was probably never
a time in the history of the
State when there were so ma
ny fakirs wandering around
trying to swindle farmers
and other people out of the
eye, teeth or anything else of
value. You can scarcely
pick up an exchange but what
you read of this man or that
buying d gold brick of the
most pronounced type. 1t is
one game this time and a new
one the next time. Each fell
low teaches "a new trick and
you can't learn them all with
out going busted.
People are inclined to do
their dealings with 'furre-
ners." They will send their
money off to a mail order
house or give it to a fakir
wandering over the country,
when the same goods could
be bought for less money
right at home. In one case
you have the word of your
home dealer and you know he
will make matters right. In
the other case you have the
slick, sugar-coated promise
of a stranger, whom you new
er see again and who never
wants to see you. Home mer-
chants are compelled to sell
the best goods, because their
honor and reputation are at
stake. Mail order houses
sell seconds of all goods and
the purchaser is sometimes
glad to get anything and new
er complains when he fails to
find a scarcity of kinship or
complexion between the SAM
pie or description and the
goods itself.
It's human nature, and un-
til human nature changes
home merchants will be de-
prived of trade that belongs
to them and the general pub
lie will be hard up for the
benefit of the dear people in
other States.
