Apropos the recent Endorsement OF
Bryan by Senator Bailey OF Texas. an
interesting "Reminiscences OF Bailey's
bitter opposition 20 Bryan in 1896 IS
recalled among veteran newspaper
writer's OF this city. At that time
Bailey was 40 displeased over the
Bryan nomination that he refused 70
run again for Congress. He was GER

elected, but he said he could never get
on with the Nebrasaan, and after three
terms In Congress fighting one Dem

He wired from Washington 20 Texas
his declination OF a denomination for
the House, but afterward withdrew II
and made the run. The story is Pc
cuI uIarly interesting one just at pres
eHt, and runs something as follows:
On a hot summer night IN 1895 Bailey
got of a train that had just pulled into
washington from Chicago, where he
had gone as a delegate to the National
convention. He carried big grip IN his
hand, and on his face was a scowl.
Bailey had gone to the convention with
a strong prediction IN favor OF Bland.
Of Missouri, whose name even now
sounds like an echo OF the past. Railey
was a Bland man. as hot for the free
and unlimited coinage OF the white
stuff as the Missourian himself Bland
had grown gray in DemOcracy's cause.
and by contrast Bryan's service seemed
trlhlng. The whole country knew

respondent read the paper. a brief but
positive declination to serve his dis

opposition for his fourth term. and

Abolish the BIinders.

We find an item. in the Savannah
Weekly News, which we can heartily
endorse. We have not used binders
on q horse for years. If we have to
take a new bride with binders, we
cut them off before using it.
The best handlers of horses are con-
demning binders.
The purpose OF binders is to shut
off from view any object from behind
that horse that might cause the horse
to become alarmed and try to run
away.
AS to this, binders have proven
more disastrous than beneficial. If q
horse passes some object that is not
fully understood by him and causes
fright, the shutting off from view of
this ScarecrOw by binders only in
creaseS the fear.
Any horse Of ordinary good sense
a soon be taught not to scare at
flags, cars, covered wagons, umbrellas,
etc, by letting him see them and IN
derstand them.
Give the horse the full power of all
his senses: let him see, hear and smell,
if need be, to satisfy his fears.-Fior-

A Farm Repair shon.

The good old precept. "a penny
saved, is worth two earned,"wil apply
to the farmers business probably more
tEan any other. 1t is the small and
numerous leaks that defy the pumps
and sink the great ship, and it is the
many small expenses of the farm that
render the business improbable unless
avoided. Things are constantly wear
ing out about the farm, and unless
there are facilities for repair on the
farm, in the crop season when time is
valuable the broken article must be
sent to town for repair, the cost of the
trip being far more than that Of the
repair, and the loss of time from the
cultivation Or harvest of crops, many
times more than all the rest. Right
here is where the all round handy MAJ
wins out against the n who can only
proper facilities at hand, if a machine
is broken, IL 4 few minutes the iron
is welded or the broken wooden part
replaced by a new piece, and the farm
work proceeds and valuable time is
thus saved. At all times of year there
are many improvements and repairs
about the place that the farmer can
make himself at but i slight outlay of
money, and therefore q well-equipped
repair shop and the skill 10 make re-
pairs are necessary adjuncts TO sue

Growing and Feeding Sweet Potatoes.

I will give my experience in raising
and feeding sweet potatoes: 1 have
rows three and a half feet wide, set
draws twenty inches in rows. / ma

drill with fifty to 100 pounds muriate
potash, fifty 10 100 pounds cottonseed
meal, and 100 TO 200 pounds sixteen
per cent. acid phosphate per acre. I
vary the fertilizer according to sAe
character of the soil. Very sandy land
needs a large per cent. of potash, and
poor land needs o ammonia.
Few of US have understood the feed
ing value of the sweet potatoes. With
sweet potato patch in each field so as
that hogs can eat peas or potatoes
they do better than On peas alone. j
am trying feeding my mules half feed
potatoes; give one-third more in meas
ure than you do corn in ear. With pea
vine or sofa bean hay you may feed
sweet potatoes entirely, if not at very
hard work.-H. NJ. Johnson, Johnston

The Old Brocade,

In a black oak chest all carven,
We found it laid.
Still family sweet of lavender,
An old brocade.
With that pc: fume came a vision,
A garden fair.
Tnclosed by great yew hedges;
A lady there,
Is culling fresh blown lavender.
A-singing goes
Up and down the alleys green
A human rose.
The sun glints her auburn hair
And brightens. too,
The silver buckles that adorn
Each little shoe.
Her kerchief and her elbow sleeves
Are cobweb lace;
Her gown. 1t is our old brocaGe,
Worn with a grace.
Methinks / hear its soft froufrou,
. And see the sheen
OF its dainty pink mossrose buds,
Their leaves soft green,
On a ground of pa.eSt shell pink,
In garlanGs laid:
But long dea the Rose who wore it
