the little girl soon became good
friends. Presently her mamma came
MP, and the miner concluded he liked
her even better than he did her little
daughter.
When he returned TO Mexico he wrote
the little girl a letter, and they CORE
sponded until last spring, when, Farris
being in the United States, Mrs. Nye
invited him to come to see her daugh-
er in ST. Louis. The result of all which
is that Farris and the widow are now
welded and visiting in Richmond, and
the pretty little girl is his stepdaugh-
ter.
Farris has had an interesting career.
He ran away from home at 16, and
worked as a miner in the southwest.
He caught smallpox in New Mexico,
and John Sillman, the bandit, nursed
him back to life, for which service Far
ris gave him every dollar he had. He
has been making money quite rapidly
since then.

Cotton on the Side.

A Texas farmer in letter to the Texas Farm and Ranche. very wisely advises his fellow planters in the following
 Recent speculation in stock exchanges on cotton quotations caused many of our farmers to think of putting in more cotton, in hopes the boil weevil wouldn't t find it out. In fact many have concluded to chance a few extra acres. boil weevil or no boil wee vii. Seventeen cents pound for cottonl Just think of it. and l sold my 1905 crop for S4 cents, says the farmer.
 The solution has come and is as plain as day to the South. The war between Russia and Japan will call for all the corn. oats. wheat, hogs and beef that the United States can supply, and should the other nations be drawn into the quarrel all the farmers have to do is to raise feed stuffs while the others do the fighting,
The Monticellonian., 1904-03-31

assuming, of course, that Uncle Sam maintains neutrality. In oth- CT words let the farmers of the United States, especially the South, saw wood Let the slogan of the tllers of the soil be, hog and hominy' with cotton on the side. and sure as the sun shines, the demand will come for every thing that can be put upon the market in the way of diversified farming.
 Our rice fields in another season will furnish rice for Iapan's sol diers. Our corn fields will attract Russian money so as to feed the hardy Cossacks while they march and counter march through Man churia and Korea. Our beef and hog.crops will be transported as fast as our ships can carry pro- ducts to the Far East, and our farmers will never lose by sticking to the diversification idea.

Baseball will soon take the place of politics.

It is gratifying to note the great interest people are taking in elections as evidenced by the extra large vote boiled in last weeks primary It is hopeful sign and speaks. intimately. for the good of the country When the voters once become interest ed in politics they will then pre- pare themselves to vote intelli- gently. and the time will soon come when they will thorough ly post themselves, on men and measures. and this once done the day of the demagogue will be over. There is no truer safe guard than an intelligent yeo. marry, and when the whole people arouse to the importance of taking an active part in poli- ties for the good of the State, they will strive to avail them selves of all reasonable informa tion which they can possibly command. and t is safe to as sume that when they act, fully advised. 1t will be for their coun- l trv's good?

The G. O. P. and Reed Shoot

There has been much ado over the fact that q Norman holds q seat in the United States Senate. The investigation of the senator in question, Mr. Reed Shoot, has de veloped many interesting disclos- rres in reference to the Mormon re- ligion, but it seems that no evi- dence has been educed to show that MT. Smoot Is n practical Nor mon or that he has in any way vio- lated the laws of the country. The only point that Is apparently urg- ed against him now by those who are prosecuting tbe fight against him is that as Mormon he sub. scribes to obligations which are incompatible with the proper and unbiased performance of his duty .4s member of the United States senate It is. of course, difficult to establish this proposition and 1t is generally understood by students of the constitution, which guaran- tees religious freedom, that Mir. Smoot will not be forced to suffer expulsion unless 1t can be estab Iished tlgat he has been guilty of official malfeasaHce or conduct un becoming senator.
 But the discussion of the Smoot case has developed another feature that is interesting. How did MT. Smoot happen to become mem Der of the senate? What political party k entitled to the unenviable reputation of placing Mormon in the United States senate: What political organiza- ton has accorded such distinguish ed ssrecognition of the Mormon Church as to place Mormon lead CT in the United States senate: :: This question Is answered by MT. Bryan, who in the Conimoner states that Shoots election was bro ught about by political con tract in which the Republican campaign committee, through it's chairman. was party of the first part, and the Mormon church the party of the second part. The Utah electoral vote was bargained d for by the committee and the goods delivered, and the quid pro quo was the admission of Shoot to the senate.
 Those who are interesting them. selves in the Shoot case because the presence of Norman in the United States senate is considered as an affront to those high ideals which constitute the basis of the stcred home life of the country should not forget to administer rebuke to the party which is re- sponsibe for the election of Reed Smoot to tbe United States Sen ate.-Memphis News.
