cess in deceivipg the peorle of Union
county. When any one man gets to be-
lievug that he can fool the people of
Union county for any length of time, he
himself is the darnedest fool in the coun-
ty. What right has l. NJ. Mobley to
take the peoples money and pay it to
delinquent men for working the public
highway. Those men were not inclined
to vote for MObley, the primary being
close on hand, and when the money was
paid to those men, why were they eau
TONED to secrecy, 'don't say anything
about it." Why did not Mr.. Mobley
pay TIE delinquent colored man for do
ing the same workp The answer is SIM
pie, because the negro was not going to
vote.
Those white men did not obey orders;
they knew the transaction was dishonest
and revealed the cautious secret 10 their
many friends. All are willing to return
the small sum to the county treasurer.
l hereby give a verbatum copy of letter
mailed to county supervisor, as follows:
Mr.. T. j. Betenbaugh,

Some fat pet of the county may say
that the amount paid to those men was
too small to be noticed, but if Mr.. Mob

treasury for this purpose, the principle
would have been the same. However.
we will turn to larger sums. Will Mr..

THE VICE-PRESIDENCY
GOING BEGGING.

Never before in the political his
tory Of the Republican party Of these
United States, have men in politics,
in the line Of political promotion,
been so very reluctant, and even re-
fusing to allow their names to be
mentioned as candidate for vice
president. Mr. Joe Cannon is very
popular and is being urged, but per-
sistently says no. 'Tis thought he
Is looking higher, and then there is a
superstition that the vice president
can't afterwards be elected president.
Senator Fairbanks is also highly
spoken Of for the position. He too,
doesn't care to be second to Roose-
velt, then he is not sufficiently urged
by the president to accept second
place. At last, in looking around, it
is discovered that the State of Illinois
is a somewhat doubtful state and
Mr.. Hit is very influential man in
that State. This Mr.. Roosevelt
seems to regard as a rather lucky
Hit, therefore agrees with his
friends that Mr.. Hit is the best man
for the vice presidency, and it seems
that Mr.. Hit is not so averse to oc.
cupying second place on the republi-
can ticket, as are Messrs. Cannon
and Fairbanks, both of whom have
higher aspirations. 1t is highly DOS
sible that the person spoken of so
confidently in republican ranks for
president has something to do with
the refusal of the men who are urged
to accept the nomination for vice
president. The democrats are not
making any noise about who will be
chosen for second place on the presi-
Dental ticket. Suffice it to say that
in the democratic ranks there is plen-
ty OF material which will be satisfac
tory and congenial companion for the
president, and in the event the vice.
president should be called upon to fill
the place Of president, the people
would have no cause to regret the
choice OF a vice president.

The Valor Of Confederate Boys.

The Confederate "B0y Company,
most members of which were so young
as to require the permission of their par
ents in order to enlist, bears brave rec
ord in the annuls of the Civil War. At
first, camp life seemed new and excit-
ing game to the young fellows, who even
found drilling enjoyable.
Later, with their eyes opened to the
sternest side Of war, when their numbers
we're lessened and their strength weak
ened, they carried to the battlefield the
same boyish enthusiasm, and fought for
their losing cause with the same couIage
and aIdOr that had markrd their entrance
into the service.
From the camp at Manassas, the night
before the first battle, they sent mes
sage to General Lee:
"Tell Uncle Robert not to forget our
battalion Tomorrow -
The battalion was not forgotten, and
it fought pluckiIy and well.
After the battle of Shapsburg General
Lee reviewed the Boy Company. It's
ranks were broken ard wearied. and
many names were missing from it's roll
call. since the bantering message of
Manassas the youthful soldiers had learn
ed the meaning Of war; they fad taken
part in fierce bloodshed, and seen their
friends and comrades fall beside them
They were tired from long marches and
privations, and the generals eye moist.

srrayed before him.
Boys" he said, "you are only boys
but today yon have been where ONLY
men dare to go! Now every man of yon
who is willing to return to the battle
Held step two PAGES forward"
without moments hesitation and as
II moved by one impulse, the young
ranks stepped forward. The Bov Com
pany, no longer excited by the romance
of war, but understanding we'll what IL
WAS taking upon itself, had responded az

has recently been attracting consid-
erably more attention among the
farmers of some of the Southern
States than it has for some years
past. Its value as y hay crop, and
it's superiority over other grasses has
been fully demonstrated at several
experiment. stations where tests have
been made, as will been seen by the
following account:
Under direction Of J. F. Duggar,
OF the Alabama Experiment Station,
at Uniontown, Ala, experiments in
raising alfalfa were made last year.
The seed was sown broadcast March
20, 1903. Three cuttings were made
up to September 3, when drought in
terfered and rendered a fourth cut
ting impossible.
Each cutting of hay required only
one day in curing. 1t was then re-
garded by Mr.. Richeson, who was in
charge of the work, as dry enough to
stoIe in the barn, where it kept with
out moulding.
This shows yield Of more than
four tons Of hay per acre when stored.
1t would probably not be safe to re-
gard this as thoroughly cured hay,
suitable for storing in large masses,
II, to be thoroughly conservative, we
assume that further drying out to
the extent of twenty-five per cent.
after being placed in the barn, would
be necessary before we could regard
this as thoroughly cured hay, we
should still have yield of more than
three tons per acre.
"Alfalfs stands higher than any
other forage plant as source ct
wealth for the regions to which it is
adapted. 1t prefers a lime soil and
is especially adapted to the better
grades Of lands throuyhout the Game
brake. 1t has wonderful possibilities
as hay plant for this reason. Its
hay has recognized place in the
larger markets, The yield is greater
than Johnson grass on lands to which
it is adapted 1t affords hay that
is unsurpassed in nutritive qualities.
and that is capsb BILE OF sustaining farm
teams without fraction of the usual
ration Of corn. We can not too
strongly advise that at least enough
alfalfa be sown this spring on every
Canebrake farm to afford supply Of
hay for the teams. By devoting a
few acres of suitable land to this
crop, the area of corn necessary to
feed the teams will be reduced in two
ways: First. by the smaller amount
Of corn which it will be necessary to
feed when alfalfa hay constitutes the
forage; secord, by the increased
yield of corn per acre that results
when the blades are left on the stalks
instead Of being pulled for fopder.
"Alfalfa is capable OF becoming the
foundation for stock raising in this
part Of the State 1t makes excel
lent and safe pasturage for hogs and
horses and mules, and no better food
for wintering or fattening cattle can
be had than alfalfa hay.

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER.

The country newspaper fills need,
want that cannot be met b7 the
greater and more comprehensive daily
papers printed in the cities, says the
Baltimore Herald. While it is true
that the editor of a country newspaper
is not subjected to hurry and worry
the daily newspaper editor lis, yet he
has more critical and exacting class
Of readers for the simple reason that
these readers get no other paper ex-
cept possibly religious paper. The
editor Of q country newspaper is
therefore compelled to cater to the
taste Of this class which is varied
and peculiar. The country newspa-
per must not only give neighborhood,
county and State news, but news
from all over the world, especially if
there be war in progress in some
foreign country and the readers want
the latest news from the seat OF war.
Some will say, "Why are the country
people interested snd want to hear
about the the war between Russia
and Japan" We can't answer that
question, but they do, and we try TO
give it to them. The work OF an ed-
tor Of a rural newspaper is never
quite finished, as one issue of the
paper goes to press the editor must
begin to look around for news matter
for the next issue Of the paper.
1.-The country editor is respected
in his county and State, and il
aroused he may be an object of fear.
The rural newspaper is generally a
cheerful visitor. The editor takes y
hopeful view Of things and delights
to give himself full sway in describ
ing a social function. especially a
wedding, and is always gallant and
complimentary to the ladies In a
hot political campaign his blood may
become heated over an oyster or Il
dog law, and some ink may be wasted
when two writer's begin to slash at
each other, but the day for duels hav-
ing passed, these battles are general
~ eloodIess, and when the opponents
meet the next court week they will
be found approaching each other and
saying, How do you do Bob? jim,
old fellow, glad to see you,' clasping
hands and straightway moving to-
ward the place of business presided
by Messrs Howell and Faucett for a
district purpose"
All Of this shows the object, aim
and life purpose Of the country news
paper, without which the people
would remain in ignorance. grow
more ignorant with time, lapse un-
consciously into heathenism; as it is,
the people become more enlightened
and refined, and welcome the country
newspaper as dear friend whose
weekly visits bring sunshine and
solace.

BISHOP FITZGERALD A SLAYER.

It is never necessary to ask, "How
is Bishop FitzGerald (of the M. E.
church, feeling regarding the situa-
tion?" His face is always against
the saloon and saloon politics. This
is the way he talked out in meetin' at
the recent temperance anniversary of
an Eastern conferences:
Il have made up my mind to vote the
Prohibition ticket as I have done at
every election since the Republican party
put the Raster resolution into it's plat
form. 1t is a slow war 1 don't know
how to hasten the victory, but can con-
troll my own vote. and on the word of
God and OF the church I cast it every
time against the liquor traffic.
Some of us, if we had been in JOSH
uas army, would have scorned the idea
that by marching around Jericho seven
we should be able to overthrow those
massive walls. We should have said the
thing was absurd, and that we should
merely waste our strength and make our
selves ridiculous.
''And some of us would have given up
if signs of success had not appeared after
we had been marching about the walls
for three or four days. We should have
See See, a you sa are "a aca6mplishing nothing
wall
"And some Of us at the end Of the last
have been in absolute despair, seeing the
great walls frowning unscathed upon us,
while the enemy upon them tainted us
about our futile efforts. We should have
forgotten that Jericho had to fall or God
show himself untrue, If we obeyed his or
ders to the end.
But the record is that Israel believed
Him and kept right on. When they blew
the rams horn blasts the walls had not
stirred nor any sign at all Of victory been
given the faithful soldiers. Nevertheless
they set up the shout Of victory on their
bare faith in God and in the mighty shout
the sound Of crunching masonry was
heard and Jericho lay in ruins.
TT will be so in this fight. We must
obey God with such means as we have,
not despising the humblest weapons, not
hunting for signs of quick success, never
doubling God will get himself the VIC
tory. We must be true. That Is all.
