HIGD0N'S CARD
TO HIS FRIENDS

To My Friends:
cannot consent to go to the ballot to-
day without one word to you. From all
indications, | candidly believe that the
man who runs second In the race today
for the office of sheriff will be not less
than 1000 votes behind me. He will recog-
nize the fact that run-off will prove a
useless expense to him.
Believing, then, that today's ballot is.
In fact, "double-header.' | wish to ex-
press my lasting gratitude to my friends
your work influence and support have
made possible my desire to become sheriff
of Jefferson county. For a long time my
ambition has been to become sheriff of
Jefferson county. From today that am
bition changes. 1t is now to make my
administration of that office a pattern
by which all future administrations Will
be measured.
All the promises which have been made
by me during this campaign, which have
appeared from time to time by my au-
thority, will be faithfully kept. But these
promises will not be the full measure Of
my attempt to improve the conditions Of
this county They but Indicate where I
hope to begin.
In the ADMINISTRATION of the office of
sheriff I am most sincere in saying that
| know my efforts will prove, in meas
ure, futile If your support Is not still ac-
corded me.
In my election, recognize protest Of
the people against conditions that many
of my strongest supporters and those
bringing to me q wide circle of friends
have been attracted to support me by
the reason that in peoples admins
tration they hope for relief In many
ways.
therefore. wish to say that l Will
be a sheriff for all of the people. That
the poor and lonely. the weak and the
friendless shall have as much considera-
ton from me as though they came to
me as the representative of millions l.
shall play no favorites. but misfortune
shall always command my first atten-
ton.
Today I ask you to go to the polls
early: stay late, and fight for every vote
put in the box. They Will be counted as
cast. You may rest assured of that.
Yours faithfully. Z. L. HlGDoN.

SEVERAL MEN ARE KILLED

Havana, August 26.-The Associated
Press learns there are grave differences
between President Palma and Vice Presi-
dent Mendoz Capote. The latter is sus-
pected of having considered with Senator
Alfredo Zayas, president of the liberal
party, the question of whether peace could
not be restored by Palma's withdrawal
from the presidency by permitting Men
doz Capote to succeed him, and by giving
certain posts to the liberals None of the
parties concerned were willing to discuss
this matter tonight, but tn esource of the
correspondents information is entirely re-
liable
Major Gomez of the government reports
another engagement with insurgents near
Cascabal in which several were killed or

A band of one hundred insurgents enter

and got away with the contents of the
local treasury, $1,000. and all the horses in
town.
A special edition of the Official Gazette
issued tonight authorizes the seizure of all
animals thus taken. The shortage of
horses is at present one of the worst
drawbacks of the government.
The government has discovered that the
movements of Pinao Guerra and other I'M
protant revolutionary commanders are
directed by a committee of revolutionary
veterans in Havana. This practice will
be broken up and several arrests are ex-
pected.
The government announced this AFTER
noon the capture of ex-Congressman Car
los Mendieta the leader of the insurgents
of Santa Clara province. This capture
has been authenticated from other sources.
1t occurred in the city of Santa Clara.
Colonel Amanda, who was with Mendieua,
also was taken prisoner. The capture of
Mendieta is of great Importance.

AGRICULTURE.
Winter BYE.

Our readers all know how hard I have
tried to impress upon them the value of
winter rye for pasture. Rye is one of our
hardest grain plants and can be grown
under more adverse conditions than any
other of our grains. 1t will grow on very
poor soils, can be sown in corn fields
without being plowed in and will often
come up and make fine pasture when sown
this way. Rye Is not so partiular as 10
soils as many of our other grains are;
1t will grow on heavy lime soils, also on
sandy soils, yet heavy clay soils seem
best adapted for rye. AS stated oetore'
while rye will often terminate, come up
and produce fine crops from being sown
on top of the ground. yet 1t VIII respohu
to better treatment and like other crops
will pay according to the care and atten-
ton given it. While rye may be grown
on many old, worn out lands, yet the
farmer should not depend upon sucn
lands for producing pasture. Every neld
on the farm not otherwise in use should
be sown to rye for winter pasture.
Many farmers SOW rye in their cotton
and corn fields ahead of the last plowing
of these crops and the last blowing covers
the seed This plan, however, may ran
sometimes, especially so If the summer
should prove hot and dry. In case a fall-
ure should follow such sowings, then u
good plan would be to sow again In Au-
gust or September. When these sowings
are to be made in cotton and corn crops,

Ireland Grows Good Tobacco.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Five years extension of the facilities
granted by the late government to Ire
land for the purpose of tobacco growing
ought to convince the most skeptical of
what experts already know-viz., that
good tobacco can come out of the sister
isle If we had been more mindful of our
neighbors and less of the Virginia plant
ers, that fact would have been demon
strated long ago. Less than 100 years ago
more than 1000 acres was under oultiva-
ton in ireland. The average profit was
ECO per acre, but In some cases as much
as f100 per acre was obtained. Moreover,
during the distressful period. Wexford,
where the weed was in greatest cultiva-
ton, suffered less than any other part OF
the island

THE MODERN WOMAN.

From the New York Sun.
Antique shops are now being ransacked
by women seeking for old bracelets. Moth
ing is too quaint or too old.
One dealer has sold more than 300 brace
let's in the last few months. and a recent
new lot of forty just imported from the
other side, went in three weeks. At this
shop there is at present beauty in the
shape of a broad band fully an inch in
width made in the same fashion as were
the book chains of twenty-five or thirty
years ago.
The favorite bracelet in the antique Is
made of filigree silver gilded, and many
women who possess neck chains and other
ornaments made OF this material when
1t was fashionable many years ago are
having the parts reassembled and turned
into bracelets They are gold plated, and
perhaps amethyst or some other semi
precious stones enhance their beauty.
Old coral Is also in great demand. A
good string of real corals sells for from
$40 upward. according to the color and
size of the string.
