REPUBLICAN FABLES.
Some Foolish Talk About the Tariff and
other Questions.

The Hon. Albert J. Hopkins, a
Senator in Congress from Illinois,
seems never to have learned any
thing and can never have had
very much to forget If the
wrath of Pig Iron K~elley7or Ros-
we'll G.. Hurr could be evoked and
made to speak i tcould produce no
follower, outworn and now mean
ingless patter than Hopkins has
been churning out at Hot Springs,
where he seems to have gone to
impart mlsinformatlon to Mr..
Taft:
1.-THE record of Mr.. Bryan as a
free trader.
"The Wilson-Gorman free trade
measure.
"Under the Mckinley law and
q Republican administration there
was not an enforced idle man in
America.
The German bill para.
lived the industries of the coun.
try, destroyed the market for all
farm products and pauperized
labor"
Does Senator Hopkins, who is
SO appreciated in his "home town.
of Aurora that it voted against
his denomination the other day,
suppose that Mr.. Taft is to be
strengthened in Illinois or any.
where else by this ancient hum
bug about the Republican protec'
tive tariff as the source of al
prosperity, whereas a Democratic
tariff soaked in protection as the
'free trade" Wilson tariff was
is the inevitable mother of panic
and poverty? That sort of fub.
dub used to work. 1t will work
no longer. Many Republicans il
the Northwest and Massachusetts,,
for example. are at least as strong
for free trade" as Mr.. Bryan has
ever been. The country saw last
year a Republican panic which
the blessed Dingley tariff could
not avert New York Sun.

AS TO PEA VINES.
If You Have Any This May Prove Of Some
interest to You,

A tremendous crop of pea vines
will be harvested this season.
Farmers are considering how they
can best save the pea hay and
doubtless will be benefited by
reading the plan of Wade H. Cald-
we'll, of Wayne county.
Mr.. Caldwell writes to The Pro-
~gressive Farmer as follows:
"There has been a number of
excellent methods of saving pea
vine hay given by your CORE
spondents, but in most places they,
to use a congressional term, have
had "riders" that rendered them
impractically for immediate use
by the average farmer.
"Now, using a tedder and stor-
ing in barns is fine, I imagine, but
l never saw a tedder save in the
Fair grounds, and but few farmers
in my section have barn-room
enough to store more than half a
ton of hay at the time. Now what
the average farmer wants at the
present hour is the best method by
which the most hay in excellent
condition can be saved out of doors
in shortest time, at least expense
and labor. So I will give the
manner in which I have saved
Is to 20 acres of peavine hay year.
ly for ten years, and without the
loss of a single stack when proper
ly put up.
"Cut in the morning and rake
and stack in the evening of the
next day (if it rains wait till it
dries-peavines are as good hay
after a weeks rain on them as
much of the in%-shipped a%rticle.)
If the crop is heavy, rake directly
to the stack; if light, wind-row
and then rake to stack never use
a cart or wagon for this, Otis too
much labor.) Pile hay around
pole two feet deep-after being
gently packed down with fork
(never get on stack at any time),
then nail on two eross.arms, then
pile on to six or seven feet and put
in two more cross-arms. Then
build up till you can just stand on
rake wheel and top off nicely with
fork. Have "a forkful of grass to
top off with.
"Make stack to contain six or
seven hundred pounds of cured
hay. This size stack is mora eco
nomical in keeping and handling
than either the larger or smaller
style as suggested by some, for
they cure out better than the
larger, and the weather-waste is
less than the smaller ones. Then
they contain just a nice wagon
load, and, as a general thing in
the busy season, a farmer has just
only time at once to fetch in that
much"

Himself Again.

Mr.. Thomas Grant Perrin is perhaps the
most wonderful mar alive today. Some two
months ago the mechanical department of
bis anatomy got SO completely out Of fix that
IL was with difficulty that the machine would
run at all. But he is a risky; or venturesome,
kind ofa man. When the machine was near
ly ready to stop he went to Atlanta where
some Of the medical fraternity practiced
some OF their arts on him. Instead Of killing
him outright as everybody might have
thought they would do, the Atlanta doctors

log, and move like an automobile. All In all
Tom Grant Perrin is one ofthe best men alive
today. His heart is all right. His power
house, (the stomaoh,) is his citadel, and all
goes we'll with him.
The difference between Mr.. Perrin and Mr..
James Roche was this: Mr. Roche and all the
kindred and all the doctors in town couldn't
q out what was the matter with him.
But with Mr.. Perrin the case was different.
Everybody knew that something very alarm.
ingly was wrong with him. The doctors In
Atlanta found out what was wrong. They
cured him. set up on his pins, n sent
him back home to be with and among his
friends with the belief that many years are
yet In store for him.
But neither Mr.. Roche, nor anybody else
knows what is the matter with him, but
there is n good thing about him. Hi
friends are in no way uneasy about his early
departure. he will nave good health and die
Of old age about forty-lve years hence.

A Letter Of Explanation.

Some weeks ago an article appeared In one
of the Atlanta papers stating that Mr.. George
Csnno with two other gentlemen, had been
arrested for an attempt to blackmail. The
alleged offense was threatening to report a
LIQUOR dealer II he did not meet the person
writing the threatening letter and pay over a
certain sum of money. AS to further partic-
ulars the following letter states the facts ex
plicitly, exonorating Mr.. Cannon:
Atlanta, Nov. 9, 1905.
Mr.. w. r. Bradley, Abbeville. S. c.:
Dear Mr.. Bradley-As q newspaper man
Won might like to know the facts as devel-
oped at the hearing before the U. s. Commits
sioner in the case OF George Cannon from one

ing at the same house. Heinman wrote the
letter, showed 1t to Coleman and mailed 1t In
Coleman's presence. Later Coleman told
Cannon of 1t. On their way home that Sat-
urday night Cannon and Coleman thought II
would be interesting TO see whether that boy
would. be fool enough TO DO what he said he
and sure enough Heinman met 8 man and
was arrested. The officers then went over to
tho Capitol steps and arrested Cannon and
Coleman, evidently having seen them 60 over
there.
The prosecutor and his attorney and the
Commissioner, as we'll as Cannon's friends,
were convinced that Heiuman was the only
guilty party, and hat Cannon was entirely
free from suspicion. 1 thought IL might be q
benefit to Gsorge for you to know his limo.
with kindest regards to you, 1 remain.

Let Us Make a Move.

Abbeville ought to nave another cotton
mill. Hard times are the right times to start
such an enterprise, and We think the times
are hard now, hard enough. Good times will
come when the wheels begin TO turn.
While We are not authorized to speak on
the subject, 1t seems to Us that the old furni-
ture factory building could be utilized to
start q small cotton mill. II the owners
would make an effort, We think they could
secure the necessary capital stock to buy the
machinery for q spinning mill and a knit
ting mill. o. II the owners did not care to
60 into the enterprise cheaper buildings
could be erected outside the city limits,
where the land could be had cheap, and where
the machinery would be forever free OF city
taxes. =
With some home moAey in 1t, additional
capital from abroad could be had. We ought
to make another move forward.
