Boil WeeyiI on WdxOhaChie Creek.

Mr.. p. II Rose, living near Gar.
rett, visited his brother. w. NJ
Rose, near Waxahachie creek six
miles west Of Ennis on the Waxa-
hachie and Avalon road Sunday and
found quite number of boil wee
wills at work. He filled "a small sack
with punctured squares and brought
them to this Office this Monday
morning.
Mr.. Rose says they are all up and
down the creek and out as far as a
mile from the creek, These were
found on upland. The farmers there
have begun blowing to try To knock
of and cover the punctured squares.
Mr.. Rose says he has examined
cotton in his community, near Gar
rett, and so far, has seen noevidence
of this pest.
Farmers will do well To con
tinue to pillow cotton until pick,
ing time. as there can be no question
bat that this plan will kill the wee

ferfiIIzinq Cotton.

We announced some time last
spring that an experimental farm
had been established in East End,
Waxahachie. Mr.. Odell DeNaughn,
who has a farm rented just south
of c. l.. Kidd's nursery, agreed to
ing to the directions furnished by
the Agricultural Department under
the supervision of DR., Knapp.
Messrs. J NJ Lancaster, l.. II Pc
tiers, Jas. :. Davis, John +. Wyatt,
r d. Hudson and d. II. Thompson,
assisted by a few of the business
men of WaXahacbie contributed out
of their purses II buy the seed AID
fertilizer for the crop. In the early
spring Messrs. Lancaster and Wyatt
took a surveyors chain and plated
the land into five acre lots. Ten
acres were planted to Truitt seed,
five acres to Rowden seed, and five
acres to Kings seed. Five of the
ten acres planted to Truitt cotton
was fertilized with phosphate and
potash bought from the packeries at
Fort Worth. Two hundred pounds
to the acre was applied, being sown
in the drill with an ordinary cotton
planter before planting.
The committee and Mr.. DeNaughu
have been watching this cotton care
fully and up to two or three weeks ago
no perceptible difference was noticed
between the fertilized and the fun-
fortified cotton, but now there is a
vast difference in favor of the fer
tilted cotton. 1t has rich pea
green color, is much larger than the
other cotton and gives promise of
out-yielding the other largely. The
ROwden cotton now seems to be
much the earlier there being twice
as may grown bolls on it as on
either of the other varieties. Mr..
DeNaughn also has several acres
Of his native cotton planted, but the
King, ROwden and Truitt all seem
to be better formed than the native
cotton. Each and every farmer in
Ellis county has an invitation TO
inspect this experimental farm at
any and all times, Any of the com
mittee will gladly show any one
wishing to look 1T over.

Republicans vote your ticket
straight. There is not a man on
the ticket from top to bottom-from
the presidential elector to constable
who is not abundently qualified
for the position and is not worthy of
the hearty and honest support of
every republican. If an unworthy
incompetent man had been placed
on the ticket there would be some
excuse for scratching, but such is
not the case, no question of dishon-
esty or incompentency can be Justly
or truthfully advanced against a
single nominee on the ticket. The
Legislative and county tickets are
especially strong and were nomi-
mated by one of the largest aud most
representative conventions that ever
assembled in Day county. There
may be names on the ticket you
would not have placed there, were
you to make up a ticket, but remem
Der the ticket as it is, was the choice
of a large majority of the republi-
cans of Day County 1t was nomi-
mated fairly and the convention
should terminate all opposition in
the party of all who favored other
candidates, now we should lay aside
all personal feeling, pull together
and give the ticket our hearty sup
port and roll up the largest republi-
can majority in tina history of Day
county. We will do it by placing a
cross in the circle at the top of the
republican ticket.

HISTORY.

In the early 90s whole trains Of
emigrant wagons left Brown county.
The land couldn't be farmed." Irri-
gate or emigrate" was the cry of
Pierre's chief opponent for the state
capital in 1890. Forty miles from
water, fifty miles from wood-gone
TO visit wife's folks" was the legend
facetiousiy alleged to be nailed over
the doorways of hundreds of settlers
abandoned shacks. Poor boxes
labeled "Put a penny in the slot for
the thousands of starving people in
South Dakota" were erected in Chi
caGo and elsewhere. A procession
of Brown county farmers, men,
wome and children, clad in impro-
yised rags and riding in all kinds of
disreputable vehicles, paraded the
streets o. Aberdeen to show the des-
perate straits to which the people
were reduced. This is history. In
the face of it no man should say that
any part of South Dakota is not
good.
In Grant county a few year ago a
quarter section of land was traded
The settlers couldn't hold onto it
until he could raise something and
the country was away west anyhow.
This farm changed hands recently
for a consideration of $1,000

DEMOCRATIC INDIGESTION
Country Has Suffered Because of 1, whs,
That Party Was in Power.

Whenever the Democratic party has
had a chance at power its course has
been like that of the donkey in the
fable. which died OF '|taryation While
trying to decide which to eat first. its
oats or It's hay.
1t was this way when Buchanan
was president. and could not make I'M
his mind whether or nc. TO suppress
by force the secession oyement in
the south. and so postponed having
ANYTHING done until Lincoln cold le-
come president. This d.at0ry Ie,i.v
was largely responsible .or the eaol.
nous cost in money and lives OF sup
pressing the rebellion.
Wien Cleveland was president the
country suffered quite as much from
agonizing uncertainty as 10 What the
Democrats were really going to do. as
from the actual evils that they did do.
On neither the tariff nor on the m0nev
question was there any unity of opin.
ion amongst the Democrats. and never
was it possible TO forecast just what
would he done.
The Democrats took one year and
five months TO work up and pass their
Wilson bill after the inauguration of
President Cleveland. as against four
months and twenty days that it took
the Republicans 10 pass the Dingley
bill after the inauguration Of President
Mckinley.
No less than GA amendments We've
made to the Wilson bill before it was
passed-and then, despite this enor-
nous number of patches to make the
bill suit all Democrats. President Cleve-
land viewed it with the almost dis
appointment and said that it was
marked with places where the deadly
blight of reason has blasted the cOun-
sells of the houses in their might" Tie
colossal failure of this bill to produce
enough revenue to run the govern
ment, as well as the general blow il
inflicted on the industries Of the coun-
try. thereby driving thousands of men
out of employment, was in sharp CON
trast to the success of the Idngley bill
in not only producing enough revenue
but in giving employment to thousands
of people out of work, and in restoring
good times to the country.

Buying from Abroad.

The less the United States, through
q protective tariff, imports OF the
things that its own labor at home can
manufacture just as well as foreign
ers. the more it is able to import OF
n-ecessarles and luxuries that cannot be
purchased at home. The consumption
of coffee per capita in the United
States. which in 1890 was eight
pounds, IL now twelve pounds. Our
imports Of sugar. teas, spices. silks
laces, etc. have increased consider
ably during the last eight years. With
the American workingman sure OF
a good home market for what be
produces. it goes almost without
saying that he will have enough
money to buy for himself foreign
Injuries that he could not dream OF
having in Democratic times.
