The Two Conventions.


 Speaking of the two conventions of this year. The Advertiser said: 1. ''The Spencer convention, which met in this city on the 24th of May, was mainly composed of Federal ofiiceholders, without whose active participation in conventions there could be no Republican organiza- ton or party In Alabama That conven- ton was composed of Custom House rev. enue. Postal and United States Judicial officers. It was not an Alabama, but a Federal convention.
 The Democratic convention, which has just adjourned, was composed of the bone and sinew. the heart and brain of Alabama. It's delegates were men hon. ored and esteemed at home, who received the unsought suffrages of their neighbors and friends. It was not necessary to have drill sergeants and politicians from Wash ington to get up that convention The peopie-the genuine people of Alabama themselves turned out in overwhelming num-ers, to show how thoroughly they endorsed their Democratic State govern ment and how determined they were to keep the State from ever again falling into Radical hands. The days of fraudu- lent bonds, of court house Legislatures, and the radical sort of states men Is at an end, and if the people of Alabama are true to themselves, they will manifest their indignation. and their scorn of the Peters, Spencer and Alling- ton creed by such a majority as will cause them to retire and never again ap- pear in public life or places"

Two or three members of the Senate like brandy and are fastidious about the kind they drink. They found a hotel in Washington where there were several bottles labeled as of the dlstillation of lSll. This brandy cost 75 cents a drink. Hero 1t is," said one of the Senators, when he had invited two companions to have some. Tt is the finest in Washing ton. You can see by the label that 1t was distilled in 1911. Isn't that right, MT. BartenderT' That's what the label says" the bartender replied. but don't know the printer"

Hon. J. N. Allen.

Our distinguished citizen, Hon
John NJ. Allen, is at home after al
absence Of several weeks while at
tending to his duties Of United
States Commissioner Of the Louis.
lana Purchase Exposition at St
LOUIS. 1t is probable that these
duties will be prolonged for some
time yet.
W. regret to state that Mr. A
is not entirely we'll. He is suffer-
ing from a rheumatic affection
which keeps him closely confined
to his home and for which he is
being treated by his physician. We
trust that he may soon be able to
be out to mingle with his friends
as is his custom.

While the present low price of
cotton works great hardship on ma.
ny of the hard working producers
of the great staple it can not be
said to be an unmitigated injury
to the south. The high prices of a
year ago, which were Largely due to
speculation, caused the great in
crease of acreage planted in 1904,
and helped to swell the crop to its
enormous figures. A burned child
breads the fire. Seven cent cotton
will cut down the acreage and re-
duce the crop. In this lies the
producers remedy for the present
conditions.

HOG Killing.

Hog Killing is the order Of the
day ON the farms now and on all
sides can be heard the squeal of
the fat porker as he is led to the
slaughter. Many Of our people
began their fall killings in Novem-
Der and divided them SO as to give
them a supply of back bones, spare
ribs and sausage drought the sea
sou. The weather has been fine
for this business for several weeks
We have heard no complaint of
spoiled meat and do not expect any
while the present crisp atmosphere
surrounds us Many of our friends
are showing the salutary effect
that comes from subslsting on the
savory products Of the swine.
Some of them have had new but
tons sewed on their pants and smile
when they come to town to tell
their poor city brethren about the
big hogs they have put away to
supply their tables during another
year. Our friend, Squire w. II.
Wagner, of Chesterville, kille d
three pigs, the other day, tina,
weighed over eleven hundred
pounds and says that one of his
neignbors has six that will weigh
over two thousand pounds. There
are many more similar cases in
the country. The trouble about it
is that there are not enough Of
them. The hog is one of the chief
sources of wealth of the great west
Many farmers there rely entirely
upon this greasy animal a, at
economic provider Of cheap.trans
portation for their grain They
put their corn into pork and thu,
compress it into shape for easy
and cheap shipment. Lee count,
is a better hog country than low"
and Dakota. The hog fattens best
in warm weather. If our people
would take up the raising of hogs
instead Of over planting cotton
there would be no more seven cent
cotton grown.

70 The Farmers.

We are authorized by Mr.. F. S.
White, Industrial Agent Of the
Frisco Tail road, to announce to the
farmers of Lee County, that the
largest potato grower in the world
who lives up north, proposes to
furnish all who may desire it,
with all the seed potatoes that they
may want for planting next sprln G
and will buy their entire crops,
when gathered, paying them full
market value in cash, for them
on delivery. The farmers receiv-
ing seed are to pay for them out Of
che proceeds of their crops. Mr.
White is duly authorized to make
this offer. He is acting for the
Frisco road, which is doing what
it can to promote the interest Of
the farmers along it's line.
We think this offer is worthy
the attention of all our farmers
The present conditions, which
are due to the unwise policy Of
planting too much cotton, make it
necessary fo1 the farmer. to look
to something besides cotton to
supply their need of money. The
Irish potatoe is easily grown. 1t
requires less labor to make a
crop of potatoes than it does a
crop of cotton. Potatoes mature
in the spring and early summer
and always command remunera-
tive prices. They bear shipment
we'll and are easily handled. Our
lands are finely adapted to their
growth and with proper fertiliza'
ton and cultivation make large
crops. Nearly all Of our farmers
are now so situated that they will
be compelled to reduce their plant
ing's Of cotton. This offer is a
liberal one and shows them the
way to employ a part Of their land
and labor proitably. If they will
write to Mr.. +. S. White, Industri.
al Agent, Frisco road, at either
Birmingham or Memphis, they will
obtain full particulars on the
s%uject.

Kinds county has a farm on
which the paupers and convicts OF
the county are kept. 1t is said to
be self-supporting. Ten bales of
cotton, a thousand bushels of corn
and a large crop of potatoes were
made on it this year. This may be
all right, so far as the convicts are
concerned, but it don't look exact
ly right to make the paupers asso-
ciate with them. A convict ought
to be made self sustaining. Be
cause a body is poor is no reason
why he should be put to work
with d convict.

It seems that cotton is not the
only article of commerce of which
there is an excess Of production

vances for storing and holding the

Congress.

From the way the Republicans
are starting off in congress, in both
the senate and house Of represen-
tatives, it is apparent that they in
tend to make the most of their re-
markable victory in the late cleo
ton. Exultant as they r over
their victory they seem disposed
to push their schemes to the limit.
They regard the election as a pop.
ular expression of approval of all
the announcements OF their Chi,
caqo platform aud do not seem to
take into the account the satisfac.
tory state OF the country nor the
personality of Roosevelt as factors
in bringing about their unprecs-
denied victory. The fanatical ele'
ment Of the party + starting off
in front and, from the auimus
which they are displaying, seem
disposed to make things lively for
the Democrats. Several of their
schemes are revolutionary. but, in
the flush of success and confidence,
they hope to enact them into law.
The short session bids fair to be
distinguished for it's exhibitions of
spleen and bitterness by the Re-
publican leaders and the country
may expect lively times in congress
during its short career.
In our opinion the policy for
the Democrats in congress to pur-
sue should be one of dignifed re-
slstance to all the revolutionary
schemes Of the dominant party.
They should not permit themselves
to be goaded into heated discus
sions nor acrimonious debates.
The hide Of the average Republi.
can in congresa is as tough as that
of the average rhlnoceros under
the tropical sun of his natl We
haunts. The rhetorical darts OF the
average warm. blooded southern
democrat make about the same i'm
preston on the hide of the cold
blooded Republican as the RAYS of
the sun make upon that of the rhi-
noceros. Crisp and bitter flagella-
| ton of the fanatic never amounts
to anything. These exhibitions
may furnish excitement for the
occasion and may furnish tempo
rary satisfaction for the ambition
of silver tongued orators, but they
do not result in any permanent
good to the country nor to either
of the two great political parties.
On the contrary, they stir up sec
tional animosities and, in the end,
are hurtful and damaging.
The congress of the United States
is supposed to be made up OF men
| of common sense, honor and dig
nifty. Their duties are confined to
the settlement and adjustment OF
purely business propos S.
WheI they transcend these duties
and go off into partisan zeal and
excuses of temper and conduct
their deliberations with fire and
fury the offenders damage the
cause which they represent and
bring shame upon the constituency
which sent them there.
The South now needs men Of
mature judgement, keen %prescience
and cool and deliberate action to
defend it's rights and interests in
the nations council. We trust the
cause of the democracy in congress
may be directed by such wisdom
and patriotism as will secure for
it its rightful place in the affairs
Of the nation.
