Col. Daniel 8. Lamont, In my opin-
ion. would poll more votes in the State
of New York than any Republican who
could be named. He would sweep the
State. He would be strong not only
In New York city. but in the rural dis
tricts. where he was raised and In
which he had much political experience
under the late Daniel Manning The
Democrats could not get better CAM
didate than Colonel Lamont II he could
be prevailed on to run"
The suggestion Of Colonel Lamont
will undoubtedly be received. and 1t
was predicted last night that 1t would
grow and that the former Secretary
OF War would have to refuse many
times before all the Democrats who
would abandon the idea of having him
for their candidate for Governor. A
contest between Mr.. Lamont and Mr..
Root would almost overshadow the
Presidential struggle in interest. Both
have been Secretaries of War. Both
have been eminently successful New
Workers. Both are in the prime of life
And both hail from rural New York.
MI. Lamont was born in Cortlandville
Cortland County. and Mr. Root in Clin.
ton. Oneida County. Mr.. Root 4. 50
years old: Mr. Lamont is 3d. Neither
man ever ran for once, but both ma, @

DISSATISFACTION IN PIKE.
Committee Makes Nomination and the
People Kick.


Troy Aue. 4.-(SpeciaD-The Coun-
~ Executive Committee met here to-
day to nominate a candidate for the
office of Tax Assessor to NIL the Vacan-
cy in the nomination for that once
caused by the death of ]. d. Gafford,
who was nominated in the first pri-
mary election. The Committee hrst
held an executive session OF about
three quarters of an hour, and then
filed into the large court room ana pro-
ceeded to ballot for the candidates VINO
submitted their names for nomination.
The candidates were: q. II. VIII
liams, c. T. Spradley. S. w. Shirley.
r. F Park, S. ]. Townsend. Sid Nc
Leod and w. H. Wilks. John wal
tiers was also voted for, but says tnat
he did not authorize his name to go
before the Committee.
After the third ballot, w. H. Wilks
withdrew his name from before the
Committee and the Committee then
voted on the remaining candidates. On
this ballot John Walters was dropped
from the list.
The Committee then cast three pal
lots on the remaining candidates, after
which s. ]. Townsend and Sid. Nc
Leod were dropped.
The Committee then cast three more
ballots after which S. w. Shirley ana
r. F. Park were dropped out, and left
the final contest between q. II. Will
liams and c. r. Spradley. Spradley
receiving eight and Williams six votes
on the thirteenth and final ballot, the
Committee declared Spradley the nom
inee. There were quite a number in
the city from the rural districts and
general dissatisfaction is expressed at
the action OF the Committee In assum-
ing to make a nomination without an
expression from the party in the Coun-
ty.
There is plenty of time before the
November election in which to have
obtained party expression in the mat

THE UNITED STATES LEADS.

One of the serious problems con-
fronting good people in some States of
the Union is the rapid increase of the
divorce habit, as we may call 1t. for
that is what 1t amounts to. In fact
1t might almost be called a fad, con-
sidering the rate of increase during the
recent past. In Ohio, for example, the
statistics show that there is now one
divorce for every eight marriages. In
Michigan 1t is a little better, while in
Indiana 1t is much worse, the per cent
six marriages.
That this conoition of affairs Is real
ly alarming to all lovers of high civ
ilization is beyond doubt. 1t is
form of the social evil. carried on I'M
der the forms of law, il Is true, but
less hurtful to society. 1t is an evil
that prevails mostly in the North, the
West and the Middle West. and from
which the South may almost be said
to be free when compared with States
like those we have named. When we
remember, also, that there had been
only sixty-nine divorces granted In
Canada in the thirty-four years end
ing in 1901, we may blush for our peo-
pie and for their civilization, and feel
some degree of shame for the laws and
customs that place Americans ahead of
all civilized people in the easy meth
DDS Of getting rid of marriage ties. Can
neither law nor custom bring about
life?

A RAD ARGUMENT.


It is all very we'll to talk of replant-
ing the forests of Alabama so wanton-
ly wasted. Some forests may be
grown quickly, but it would require
est such as once covered so much OF
the State.-Birmingham Ledger.
With all respect to The Ledger. that
is exactly the feeling that has so long
prevented any effort to renew the tim
Der supply of the country. II II
should require ten years to grow and
mature a crop of corn. the farmer
ing corn, because he would have to
wait so long for any return.
1t was this feeling that stood in the
way in the past. Because the land
owner could not reasonably feel sure
that he would live till the trees were
grown he refused to plant any. appar-
entity oblivious of the fact or unmind-
full of 1t. that there would be people
living after his death and that they
would need timber. The time to begin
reforestation is the ever living pres
ent, and whether those now living or
tnOSe WHO CoHS reap the Dene-
FITS should make no difference. 1t is
certain that somebody will profit by
the work.
Nor Is 1t any argument against tree
planting to say that century may be
required to reproduce the magnificent
pine forests which once covered so
much OF Alabama and which are now
so rapidly disappearing. Even II that
were strictly true, it would be an un-
finished argument. for the pine, fortu-
nately. is not the only tree that will
flourish in Alabama. and that will be
eminently useful in the days to come
More than one species of tree can be
planted, grown and cut during an or
binary generation of life. so that the
young man may both plant and reap
and enjoy the fruits of his industry
and foresight. Tree planting is a duty
this generation owes to future ones.

The fact that 1904 is going to be the

ever known has already had quite de-
cided influence on The Advertisers circula-

In this way is explained the unusual

LOSS IN CROSS BREEDING.
Poultrymen Who Want to Make
Money Should Stick to the
Standard Varieties.

BY cross breeding we mean the mat
ing of two distinct breeds with the OBJ
ject of producing something better
than the breeder can find in the es-
tablished breeds. We will at the out
set say that we do not advise any
farmer to do this if he is looking for
profit from the results. If a man
wishes to play with nature to see
what the result will be, there can be
no objection to his cross breeding.
The man that cross breeds with the
idea of establishing a new and popu-
lar breed is almost certain to be dis
appointed. 1t is altogether unlikely
that he will be able to produce any
thing superior to the breeds now ex-
listing. If he did it would be about i'm
possible to make anyone else think SO
and it would cost a good deal of money
to advertise the new breed. Then the
sale of a few birds would virtually
throw the breeding open to the world
with little hope of financial profit ia
the originator of the breed. 1t takes
at least ten years to produce a new
breed by crossing. This was the case
with the Orpingtons. Cross after cross
had to be made to get shape and color,
and then several more years had to be
spent in fixing the qualities, so that
the offspring would be fairly true to
type. The man that tries to make a
fortune out of the creation of a new
breed is in the same category as the
farmer who tries to produce a race
horse that will become worth a for
tune. In either case the prizes are
so few as to be not worth considering,
For practical purposes it is far better
to stick to the established breeds and
improve them than to attempt@to
create new breeds by crossing.-Farn.

u. S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
Recommends Pe-ru-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
Hence, Pepsin, PanCTeatin and a Host
of other Digestive Remedies
Have Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the
Seat Of the Difficulty, Which
is Really Catairh.

Tx. U. S. Senator M. G. Butler from
South Carolina, was Senator from
that state for two terms. In a re-
cent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co.,
from Washington, d. c., says:
"Ican recommend Peruna for dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble. 4 have
been using your medicine for q shori
period and / feel very much relieved.
1T is indeed a wonderful medicine be.
sides q good tonic. "---M. G.. Bufier.
The only rationalway to cure dyspep-
STA is to remove the catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh. Perunadoes notproduce
artificial digestion. 1t cures catarrh and
the stomach to perform digestion
in a natural way. This is vastly better
and safer than resorting to artificial
methods OF narcotics.
Peruna has cured more cases of dys-
pepsia than all other remedies COM
bined, simply because it cures catarrh
wherever located. If catarrh islocated
in the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat or
bronchial tubes, Peruna ~curesit. When
catarrh becomes settledi in the stomach,
Peruna cures it, as well in this location
as in any other.
Peruna is not simply a remedy for
dyspepsia. Perunai is a catarrhremedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is
generally dependent upon catarrh.

BEANS AND BEAN REFUSE.
They Can Be Disposed OF to Most
Profitable Advantage in the
Poultry Yard.

The canniest hen woman l know has
fed beans to her flock all winter. She
claims an increased egg yield from
their use. Taking into account the
fact thai the hens were not particular
ly well housed and that their other
rations consisted Of corn, oats and
buckwheat, l am inclined to join her
in this opinion. Beans are rich in
proteids and carbohydrates. In this
instance they helped to furnish the
constituents for eggs, for when every
body's Lens were loafing this flock
were extending strictly to their du-
ties. / may say that the biddies took
up the bean habit" themselves. In
the fall the beans were cooked twice a
week for the pigs. The hens would
crowd about the receptacle in which
the beans were placed and eat to re-
pletlon when they could get an album
dance of other food. BY the time they
went into winter quarters they were
laying well, and they continued to do
so all winter. A percentage of the
bean crop is unmarketable from being
broken n stained. If simple cook
ing will convert this waste into a
valuable food for the poultry shall we
not go and do likewise?
There is another product of the bean
thrasher for which 1 wish to speak a
word of praise; that is the dry fine
dirt which comes from the rollers,
bushels and bushels of 1t. One is
often too much hurried in the busy
season to secure al adequate supply of
dry earth for winter use. The bean
thrasher will do this for you and de-
post it upon the barn floor, all ready
to be shoveled into barrels. Not a
pound shall be wasted on our prem
Uses SO long as we keep hens. The
fowls love to scratch and dust them
selves in it, one member of the family
even declares they eat it, this in addi.
ton to its advantages as an absorb
ent. Save the bean dust and you1
fowls will be healthier and happier

Sugar Beets in Michigan.

The Sugar Beet some time ago
printed figures showing the returns to
beet growers on the land around Sagi-
nav. 1t said that one man near Sagi-
nav realized s113.01 per acre, another
s113.94, another $101.66. Some. living
near these men realized but $50 or $50
per acre. These are the amounts re-
allied by sale to the factories and from
them must be deducted the cost of
raising the crop, which averages from
$32 to $40 per acre. Some Germaa
farmers raised beets that run from 20
to % per cent. sugar. They had sent
samples of their soil to friends in Ger
many, who procured for them seed
from beets grown in similar soil.
These We're carefully cultivated and
the results were surprising.
