To the farmers Of Holmes County:

To the farmers Of Holmes County:
My stand for both corn and cotton is
fine and | wish to make a proposition
to some good farmer: -:
If they can take two mules, on any
place, and make more corn and cotton,
peas, potatoes and hay, and Louisiana
molasses than | do, / will make them
present to The Holmes County Times
for year, So if you wish to read a
good paper, without cost, you will have
to stay away from the low lands,
a-fishing, and devote your time in
care of your farm
Can you come up with my under
takingf am going to make 20 bales
of cotton with one. mule-and every
thing else in proportion.
l wish to hear from the readers of
such good paper, and see if any of
them can or will make me as good
opposition.

Part of this is slanderous, part of
it Is absurd. But this is the silly sea-
son. The same man probably would
not say anything of the kind in cooler
weather.
Lectures for the summer should be
written in mid-winter. The heat may
even make the lecturer declare that
he meant what he said. In that case
the only thing to do is to wait till he
cools off and then show him in cold
print the absurdities of which he has
been guilty The university should
stand for truth. ExaggeratiOn, how
ever picturesque, should be left to 9TH
er platforms. 1t will be hot next sum-
mer also. 1t is not too early to take
precautions against repetition OF the
strange effects of the heat.
The Chronicles Stab.
The Chicago Chronicle said editor
tally yesterday:
professor Charles Zueblin of the
department Of sociology in the unlver-
sity of Chicago has been accused OF
advocating marriage on six months
probation.
although the lecture seemed to
meet with the entire approval OF the
faculty of the university, there was
such an outburst of indignation else
where that Professor Zueblin immed
lately announced that he had been
misrepresented and that he had not
advocated and had never believed in
probationary marriages.
1T is impossible for the Chronicle
to say positively what it was that the
professor said on this subject, but all
reports agree that his lecture was an
attack upon the Christian theory OF
marriage. He went out Of his way &c
defend people living in open adultery
He pronounced clothing immoral
He denounced every one who did not
enjoy the nude in art. He said there
were holier alliances without marriage
than with it.
Coming closer to the marriage re
lation, Professor Zueblin advocated
some sort of intimate association fol
six months before marriage. AS ne
plated great emphasis on this advice
than honorable courtshlp.
In a society in which months OF
courtship are the rule and where this
| courtship is often too intimate for del
icacy or wisdom there was no need FOL
university profe ssor to propose sucf
thing as something new. Nine PEG
nle out of every ten would understand
him to mean marriage in every essen
tial particular.
This construction is favored by the
fact that Professor Zueblin is a soc
| ialist. and socialism in every age OF
the world has been inimical to mar

HORSES DYING
FROM CHAMBERS
DR.. Ferling Returns from Day.
ton Where He Helped to
Stop Epidemic.
60 HORSES ALREADY DEAD
DREADED DISEASE HAS A FIRM
HOLD ON OHIO CITY AND 500
MORE HORSES ARE EXPECTED
TO DIE.

DR.. George Ferling returned iast
evening from Dayton where he has
been the guest of DR.. Shaw who in
vited him over to investigate the
epidemic of CHAMBERS which has fall
en- on the horses of Dayton and the
surrounding country. DR.. Ferling
states that already 6 horses have
been killed and that there is a pros
pect of 500 more dying within the
next few weeks.
Chambers first appeared upon the
horse in the form of slight cold ac-
companied by shifting which if not
attended TO at once will result in the
death of the horse. 1t seems that
horses are very susceptible to this
disease and the exact cause of it can
not be found. The test which is made
TO ascertain whether the animal has
CHAMBERS or not is the injection OF
mallein serum under the skin. II the
temperature of the animal raises af
ter this injection then it is certain
that it has CHAMBERS.
Out of all the tests which were
made in Dayton every one was found
to be correct on post norton exami
nations. Many of the stables of Day
ton have been quarantined and few
horses are to be seen on the streets
DR.. Ferling says that there is little
danger of the disease getting to
Richmond unless some horse from
the Dayton district is driven into
town and then it is possible that il
viii spread like wild fire.

indianapolis, Ind, July 20. (Spl.)-
When James Sheldon, coach of the
Indiana University football team, pass
ed through Indianapolis on his way
from Chicago to Bloomington, he
made the statement that Indiana
would in all probability play Michigan
this fall and that the great contest

Sheldon said that Michigan. Iowa and

that Foxy Jimmy will give the game
to Yost's men. Michigan will wish
the game pulled off either at Ann Ar
Dor or Detroit, but Indiana will do her
best to land the battle at the Hoosier
capital.
Sheldon denied that Indiana had
been holding any preliminary practice
at Bloomington as reported. and stat
ed that he would abide by the Big Nine
rules and not call for candidates until
college opened.

.DUN'S REPORT IS
VERY ENCOURAGING
He Says that the Best News
Comes from the AgricuI-
turaI Districts.
CORN AND OATS ARE GOOD
HE SAYS THAT SAW MILLS IN
THE NORTHWEST ARE RUN
MING NIGHT AND DAY-PIG
IRON RESTORED TO s14.
Publishers Press1

New York, July 20.-In its weekly
review Dun tomorrow will say:
Exceptionally encouraging reports
for this time of the year are received
regarding trade, industry and trans
portatiOn, but there is no response in
the market for securities. The best
news of the past week comes from
agricultural sections, where progress
is fully maintained harve sting of win
ter wheat promising a larger yield
than expected, and of good quality,
while corn and oats exceed anticipa-
tons; cotton picking has begun in the
early districts and hay alone of the
leading crops threatens to be short.
AS results on the farms become as
Sured, there is a growth of confidence
that brings out large orders for fall
and winter delivery of all staples. Saw
mills at the Northwest are running
night and day, new coke ovens are in
course of construction, and there is an
extended disposition to extend facli
ties in order to keep pace with eX
panding needs. More textile mills
have voluntarily advanced wages five
per cent. to take effect after this
month, and the only important labor
troubles that threatens is local
building complication that will be
averted if conservative counsel pre-
walls. Official returns show that for
eign commerce in the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1906 far eclipsed all rec
ords, both as to exports and imports,
while the new year promises still bet
ter results because of the surplus on
the farms available for consumers
abroad.
Restoration of foundry pig to $14
is probably the best development of
the week in the iron and steel indus
try.
Dispatches from Canada indicate
that the trade situation is sound, al
though reports are somewhat irregu-
lar. Manufacturing concerns at Ham
ilton report a good increase in profits.
Fruit prospects are bright, but hay
cutting has been delayed by rain.
Wholesale trade at Montreal is reason
ably quiet, except in metals, while ex-
ports of dairy products continue heavy
and grain also goes out freely. Re-
tail dry goods trade at Toronto is ac-
tive, and general wholesale business
is fairly brisk The hardware and
lumber industries are prosperous, and
the crop outlook is encouraging.
