Not Seeking Military Heroes.

He is a citizen of New York But the
people at large are not seeking military
heroes, nor for one who is vociferous,
spectacular or adventurous. They are
looking for a safe, conservative, level
headed. well balanced candidate
There is among US no division essentially
as to our choice. AS 1 read the sentiment
of this convention, 1t is practically unani-

1t is merely as to the form in which the one

Floors of Poultry Houses.

The best floors for poultry hou.
ses are those made of earth, tram
pied hard, provided such floors
are kept covered with cut straw OF
litter of some kind, says an ex-
change. The next best floor is
one made of boards, but it be-
comes harboring place for rats,
which are sure to seek refuge un-
derneath, if they have an opportu-
nifty, and the floor will then be a
detriment to success. Cement
floors are excellent, but are cold
and also assist in absorbing
warmth in winter, thus lowering
the temperature; but the use of
litter will greatly aid in rendering
such floors comfortable. Stones
packed on earth, the space be.
tween filed in with mortar, makes
an excellent floor.

Keeping Apples Sweet for Years.

A farmer near Union City, Mich.
amazes his neighbors by keeping
apples, pears, peaches, grapes, etc.
in their natural state for several
years. He now has apples and
grapes grown in 1901 which can
hardly be distinguished from this
years product. He now gives out
his method of preservation, which
is very simple, as he merely selects
well-developed fruit with good
stems, picks it carefully and sears
the end OF the stem with a lighted
match. Then he wipes the fruit
perfectly dry, places it in a piece
of dry wrapping paper and lays it
away in a moderately dry and cool
cellar.

not be made so either by law or
constitution, and that the white
man governs wherever he is in con-
tact with any of the colored race.
Sentimental ideas and feelings
will not settle this question. The
white people OF the South are on
top and intend to stay there
White men of the North would do
likewise under similar circum-
stances. In intermeddling with
our local conditions, such as is
threatened by the Repu blican par
ty, onlv aggravates the already
strained relations betwee the
races, and while there may be a
bad state of things existing, by
the act of violence by the blacks
against the whites ana the whites
against the blacks in retaliation, it
is useless to say that the republic
is in danger thereby.
"The Northern people can help
us, if they will, by support and CO.
operating, but they have got to
unlearn many of the ideas which
have come to them in the last four
years, and, most of all, they must
realize that the negroes will be
put down and held down with
bloody hand, regardless of the con-
sequences
"If the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments were repeated, and
the idea that an educated negro
is fit TO govern white men aband-
oned, the negroes would soon cease
to provoke the superior race, and
such acts of blood and violence
would be things of the past. With
the republican party standing Tor
equality, and demanding the pun
ishment of Southern whites be-
cause they do not submit to negro
domini alton, the antagonIsm of
the races will grow, and such
deeds as that at Statesboro will be
more frequent than ever.

our women, and we will stand for

States, in his formal letter of &C
ceptance. calls all Democrats hypo-
critics and time-servers. He says
they are compelled to improvise
their convictions and that it is no
wonder they forget their convic-
tions over night.
1T is the duty of the members
of the National Association of
Democrats to unite in proving that
Democrats have principles and
permanent principles.
"We should unite to preach out
Democratic beliefs from now until
election day and to vote for those
principles on that day.
"The Democratic party has a
great respect for vested rights
it also has great hatred of vest
ed wrongs-no matter how long or
respectable their antecedents.
Democrats believe in the state
mens of their platform that The
rights of labor are certainly no
less vested no less sacred and
no less 'inalienable' than the
rights of capital.
democrats denounce the ex-
portation without process of law
of working men and women from
any other part of American soil.
The Democracy detests all kinds of
anarchy, and especially that which
puts the executive of a state,
backed by the militia, above the
laws aud above the courts.
"The Democracy believes in put
ting the thieves out of the post
offices and all other branches of
the public service, from the Uni
ted States Senate all the way
down.
"The Democrats believe that
public property, and not even the
occupant of the White House
should turn men of war into pri-
vate yachts or make of the officers
and sailors of the navy the domes-
tic servants of the presidents
household.
"The Democratic party believes
in expansion, as Jefferson was
Americas greatest expansionist.
But it is opposed to Imperialism.
The Democratic platform says
"We denounce protection as q
robbery of the many to enrich the

few" and Democrats mean exact
ly what the platform says.
"They know that through pro-
lection the trusts rob the public,
working men ana business men
alike. And Democrats. if elected,
will find way to pull away from
the trusts their protecting cloak
the tariff.
"There with teartily pledged
support of the Monroe doctrine, a
demand that the service of the
soldiers be fairly and generously
recognized, and vigorous protest
against the attempt of President
Roosevelt to stir up race hatred as
an engine of political advance
ment, constitute the main features
of the latest Democratic platform,
worded to meet especial condi
tions and emergencies of the day.
''We Democrats hold now as we
did 100 years ago, to the doctrine
of equal rights for all and special
privileges for none, while Mr.,
Roosevelt's party and Mr.. Roose-
welt, with every appointment in
his gift bestowed on some trust
puppet, hold to the doctrine OF
special favors for those who can
and will pay.

Poultry Notes.

70 prepare the flock for a pro-
fitabir winter it is about time to
consign every old or Improbable
hen, and all unnecessary BOOSTERS
to the market or the table. They
will make an agreeable change
from the inevitable bacon of the
late fall months. Fowls that are
useless are the worst kind of dead
capital. If you expect to be free
from vermin next spring, be sure
you do not carry them over. Ev-
erything in the poultry houses
should undergo thorough renova-
ton. Knock out perches and re
place with new ones, made OF
skinned cedar. Whitewash the
walls with a tablespoonful of car
bolic acid in the wash. Scrape up
the floors and remove to a dis
lance, and replace with clean sand
raised little higher than the out
side ground, which will keep out a
lot of cold. Now smoke with to.
bacco trash for several hours with
little sulphur sprinkled on. Do
not inhale the sulphur smoke; it is
very injurious.

R. Tillman, of South Carolina.
makes several rather sensational
statements respecting mob viol-
ence and the race question in the
South, declaring among other
things, that mobs are evidences of
a spirit of Liberty; that race an
tagonism and race hatred are
growing apace; that the whites
used force and fraud to overcome
negro majorities; that unless the
Northern people can be made to
understand that no power upon
earth can force negro equality up
on the white people of the South
the black race there will be exter-
minated, and that President
Roosevelt has given the negroes to
hope and believe that they may
yet become the dominant race.
There are $4,000 negroes in South
Carolina and only 100000 white
people, For eight long years,
these ignorant and debased ne
groes governed, if the word can be
applied to such rule as we had,
and then the white minority threw
off the yoke. We did it because
life had ceased to be worth living
on the terms and conditions which
existed from '6S to 76.
"From necessity we used force
and fraud to overcome the negro
majority. The negroes were
backed by the United States Gov
eminent and the great Republican
party. The whites had nothing
but the memory of a civilization
coming down to them from a
thousand years of Anglo Saxon
manhood. We used our brains
and managed to liberate ourselves
from a condition that was hope
less and uncomfortable.
"We have re-established law and
order as far as practicable and are
endesvOring to preserve our clvili-
cation. The negroes have the
memory of eight years of license
and, inspired by the actions and
utterances of President Roosevelt,
they have given evidence only too
plentiful of hope that their time
will come again. Race antago-
nlsm and hatred grows apart. The
whites are resolved to govern at
whatever cost, because experience
has shown that any other course is
ruin.
"The criminal classes among the
negroes increase at a fearful rate
and unless the Northern people can
be made to understand that negro
equality is something that will
not be tolerated and that no power
in the world can force it upon us a
race war is inevitable, with the re-
suit that negroes will be extermi.

where white men have governed
width men ruthlessly. There are
