Why It's "the Tramp"

Among the geysers of the Vel
iowstone region is one which
among the guides goes by the
name of 'the Tramp.
"How did it come by that name1'
inquired a tourist.
/" Cause it don't like. soap any
better than tramps are supposed
to do" replied the guide. "Just
offer it a cake"
This the visitor proceeded to do
relates tbs Youths companion,
with the result that violent agita-
tien occurred. This action upon
receiving a cake of soap into the
crater is popularity of some gey
sers.

became entangled in the turning
shafting. Round and round he
went, perhaps 40 times. He
made no sound, heing terror

New|erry, March 25. Col.
Ellison S. Keitt, of Enoree, this
county, who was in Newberry to-
day, ,s one of the most prominent
planters of the county. He has
grown fifty-two crops on his
plantation and has made money on
every crop When asked how he
managed to make money during
some of these years, when ma
jority Of the farmers were having
a hard time to make ends meet.
Col Keitt said:
"Every farmer, when the
proper time comes, should SOW
wheat, rye, oats and barley ample
for the farm and te give some to
spare. When the grains are
taken off the fields sew one bushel
of peas TO the acre. When in
bloom NOW them down and cure
and house them. There is no bet
ter fsed during the whole winter
for all stock. When the time
comes tor planting corn plant an
ample acreage for home consump-
ton and some to spare. April is
the best month IN which To plant
corn to make sure crop.
"After making IN ample sup
ply of provisions for the farm
plant all the cotton you can, make
every pound you can and sell it
for all you can get.
"Every farmer should have
hogs, cattle and sheep to raise the
meat for the farm Every farmer
should have one or two brood
mares to raise all his horses and
mules. / had brother who,
from one mare, raised eight fine
mules in nine years. He did not
miss but one year. Sherman,
when he went through that part
of the State, stole them all.
81 have made in the county of
Newberry, on the same plantation,
fftY-two crops and sole them
and made money every
year.
"Never let cotton seed 90 off
the plantation. They should all
be crushed aud mixed with acid
phosphate, and if any of the lands
rust add kainit.
elf every farmer would con-
tribute from 81 to $40 and give it
to Sully," said Col. Keitt, in
conclusion, "he would put cotton
up right away"

 Dr. Smyth argued that the corrupt practices act now pending raises these questions. and he expressed the hope that the bill which may finally be re- ported from the judiciary committee will not only give us an improved cor rupt practices act, but also some im- provemsnt in the means for it's en- forcement.
 Passing to the consideration of rem edies for the condition of things which We all know and deplore, Dr. Smyth said that one reason for hope for a better future was the fact that many practical politicians are finding the game too costly and too debasing; they are turning reformers. He would be willing to grant general political ann nesty to any political offenders upon their taking the oath heneeforth to fight a fair and honest fight at the primaries and elections, keeping the op- portunities of political honor in this commonwealth open to all men wheth- CT rich or poor. tzf .,asEs.
 He urged the necessity of arousing and educating the public conscience of this state concerning the politically de- structive sin of vote-selling and all forms of political bribery. He called upon the press of Connecticut not to be too bashful in this work. He express ed desire to be enlightened by the gentlemen, who were to speak after him, concerning the good points in the construction of their respective ma chimes, as he said these might be imi- tated in the construction of a machine bursting state machine. just as after torpedo boats come torpedo boat de- stroyers. He intimated that some or
 ganization for useful political informal tion was already being formed in the state. ssts -. {. .5 He said in closing: 'The issue has been raised in this state: it is before the people; it cannot henceforth be evaded or put aside. The last election has left one commanding moral issue before the people of this old common | wealth. Shall corrupt political prac- tices go on waxing worse and ever more dangerous, or shall they be met by the people and be destroyed. Either they will destroy the liberty of the peo- pie or the people must destroy them. That is the moral issue at stake now

READY FOR THE BATTLE
 TO BE FOUGHT AT POLLS

Continued from First Page.) u not wish to make any formal statement other than that the prospects were bright for a democratic victory. Asked if he wished to state that he was sure that his party would win, he replied that it would be foolish to state any thing as positive. He would, however, lsay the democrats were sanguine of success.
 The supporters of MT. Sperry for mayor, when seen last night. were also sanguine of their candidates success. In the meanwhile the politicians are. 1 figuring which of the other two tickets | is. going to be hurt the most by the. votes which are given to MT. Sperry. The republicans claim that it is going to split the democratic strength. while | the democrats make a similar counter claim. ... t,sa s | City hall was closed as tight as a ldrum last evening, as far as external appearances were concerned, and the lstreets were well crowded with men, 1 the one theme being the election. 4 It was stated last evening by prominent politician that the democrats had spent more money this year than ever before for a purely local election, and that the republicans spent less. This, of course, is problematical, and could not be veri- fled last evening. .s~ ....' -.s... The politicians state that the most strenuous fight will be between Freder- ick Whitaker and Frederick Bethauer for the position of town clerk. There has been a great deal of work done by
 the friends of both the candidates, and the, republican leaders state that MT. Whitaker will receive a solid vote from his party. ...s l There are some good contests sched- uIed for the position of alderman in lsonle of the wards. Apeculiar situation occurred in the Sixth ward yesterday afternoon. Harry M. Robinson is the republican candidate in that ward. MT. Robinson resides at the shore with his family during the summer, and in the Sixth ward in the winter. A few days ! ago MT. Robinson opened up his sum liner home and yesterday afternoon some one complained to Registrar Fo- ley that Mir. Robinson was not a resi- uSiiL ol tiAC WAAh+ IS lleNLISls was laid before the selectmen at hear ing and they immediately decided, after learning the facts, that MT. Robinson was resident of the Sixth ward and had a perfect right to be the candidate. MT. Robinson is making a hard fight for the election in that ward, and his
 prospects for success are bright.
 Another ward contest which is arous- ing a great deal of interest is in the Eighth ward. Emil Loos is the repub- lican candidate and his opponent is Frank Bishop, MT. Loos is a strong candidate and 1t is believed that he will be elected. MT. Bishop, however, has a number of strong friends and he will
 undoubtedly poll a strong vote. 4 The last gun of the campaign was fired in the Ninth ward on Webster street last evening, when Joseph Peak CT and several other speakers addressed the colored voters of that ward on the Beauties of Democracy" ,.>
