good showing in the race for attor-
ney general.
Further the speaker declared
that it was a fact worthy of con-
sideration that the governor had
signed the appropriation bills.
Continuing in his TRADE against
extravaganza Mr.. Wetzel cited the
fact that the taxpayers were paying
Sam Matthews about ten dollars
day to run Swisher's campaign. He
also called attention to the fact that
the attorney generals office which
in 1894 turned back to the treasu-
ry 800 of the $4,000 appropriated
for It's use while last year the ex-
pense OF the office was $4,000.
More than that he spoke OF the
money being used to pay game
warden who does nothing harder
than drawing his salary.
He produced figures to prove that
the cost OF the government has been
increasing rapidly and steadily
since the beginning of Republican
rule; McCorkle's administrative
cost the state $2,693,28O; Atkin-
sons administration cast $1,000
coo; Whites administI alton cost
s5,223,309, and Dawson's admin =
tration has already COS. $6,3O2,1
and is still costing.
For these extravagances he de-
clared that there had been little JUS
tification. He considers the over
taxation of the people as no better
than robbery and declared that ne
would not do his duty If he fail I'd
to tell the people OF the state what
he has learned during his services
| in the house.
NEGRO QUESTION
He touched upon the negro quas-
ton fearlessly and concluded with
an appeal for registration.

cotton crop makes big income, but
the big outgo is right there beside
the big income. With corn under good
management, there is relatively more
profit left behind; so much that, while
corn will not replace cotton as Inc
great Southern crop, it ought to be
a close second and help to make cot
ton raising more gainful. At least,
there will be none to dispute that
the raising of more cotton gives bright
promise of a more prosperous South
and more thrifty farmers. Homerais-
ed corn will keep money at home, that
now goes to enrich other sections; it
will keep money right on the farm
where the corn is raised in the South.
Then we need better preparation of
land for corn (and for all other crops,
for that natter. Deeper prepare
ton, shallower cultivation: this is a
good motto for most farmers, and to
this should be added, Get rid Of hand
hoeing." In growing corn there Is
small reason why we should not use
labor-saving implements by which
corn is made so cheaply in the Great
West. The photograph on this page
in last weeks issue-cultivating two
rows at once-ls a good illustration
of how good corn crop may be
made without hand hoeing.
Then having cultivated the crop
with small expense, do not follow the
suicidal policy of tearing up the corn
roots when the crop is laid by. 1t is
by it's roots that the corn plant gets
the food by which it grows, and aside
from the cruelty of it, it would be no
| less foolish to knock out half the
teeth of your grazing cow and expect
her to do as we'll than it is to cut the
roots of your growing corn and expect
the yield not to be decreased.
Last of all comes the slower and
here it is that after working half the
year to make the crop, our farmers
throw away about a fourth of its
value of the corn plant is in the ear
and the other 40 per cent must be had
through silage or shredding. Fodder
pulling is folly. This phase of the
corn question, however, will be dis
cussed later and for the present we
leave the message with our readers
emphasizing:
Better preparation and shalloweT
cultivation; better varieties and bet
ter selection of Seed doing away
with hand hoeing; the folly of cat
ting corn roots; and the saving of the
Stover.
With a proper regard for these
principles it is not one whit too much
to claim that the value of the Soutft's
led without extra cost-and this would
mean millions to the South.

Sand Hills Made Them Rich.

I wish that every Southern farmer
could see what l saw this week in
North Carolina-a man making a fer
tile farm on the sand-hills of Moore
County mainly from the products 81
the sand itself. was at Pinehurst
and rode over the farm with Mr. Tufts.
Cowpeas and COWS to eat them are
making farm on what was the most
growing corn year after year on the
same land, and putting back on it all
manure made from feeding cowpea
hay and ensilage made from the corn.
And right there a bowling wilderness
once covered the land he has at least
one field that I am sure would make
seventy-five bushels of corn or more
per acre if it was matured for grain
instead of all being made into silage.
And he is growing corn in rows three
feet apart on land that in the begin
ming would hardly have made stalks
two feet high and six feet apart.
Cowpeas and cows, with acid phos-
phate and potash have done it. All
over another field l saw great ricks
of cowpea hay covered with tarred
felt covers, for the large barns were
all too small for the produce of the
sand-hills, and he has enough cowpea
hay and silage to carry his herd OF
nearly 100 through the whole year.

NEURALGIA

The real meaning of the word Neu
ialgia is nerve-pain, and any one who
has suffered with the malady will not
be so anxious to know of its nature
as to hear of it's antidote. Though
scarcely recognized by the profession
and people half a century ago, it is
now one of the most common and pain
full ailments which afflict humanity.
AS now generally understood the word
signifies an affection of the nervous
system, with pain in the course of the
principal nerves.
The two great causes of Neuralgia
are, Impoverishment of the Blood
and Deficiency of Nerve Force; and
the treatment of it is not so obscure
as many would be led to suppose. The
first thing is to relieve the pain
which is done more quickly and salts
factorily by ST. JACOBS OIL than by
any other remedy known; the second
object is to remove the cause, which
is accomplished by the abundant use
of nourishing food, of a nature tc
strengthen and give tone to both the
muscular and nervous systems.

FARMING IN
THE SOUTH
THE OLD FARM.

When the busy day is over, with its
anxious hopes and fears,
And the telephone stops ringing and
the last clerk disappears,
With sigh | lean back weary in my
swinging Office chair
And my thoughts go back to child
hood and the old farm that Is
there.
l can see the dear old homestead,
broad and low beneath the trees,
And the row of shining milk cans sun
ming in the fresh, sweet breeze;
l can see the barn and horses, and the
orchard on the hill,
While we gather golden apples
for the old straw cider mill
I can see the upland pastures dotted
DER with grazing sheep,
And the wheat field waving golden,
ready for the men to reap.
I can see the old stone fences, where
the chip-munks used to play,
And the corn field and the meadow
with it's piles of fragrant hay.
I can see the cattle standing meath
the willows of the brook
Where used to fish for minnows with
a bent pin for hook;
And the pond where grew the lilies
that my mother used to prize
All, the light of heavens shining now
within those dear old eyes.
And I sigh while fancy fingers Ger
each we'll known pleasant scene
Of the happy days of boyhood thrown
by memory on the screen.
And I'd give all | have gained since
all my wealth and treasures rare
To go back again to childhood and the
old farm that is there.
