sit or the fence and balance up
your books and know pretty well
how you will stand with the meat
market and tax collector.
Remarks. Texas is a drOugh-
ty country, the cotton plant
grows about two to two and a
half feet tall. Dry weather and
hot sun retard sOmnwhat the in
crease and rtvageS of the weevll.
In Louisiana we often have an
excess OF damp or wet weather,
which is favorable to the spread
and propagation of the weevil.
Our stalks will average four to
six feet in height, a great prOtec
ton to the bug from the sun.
The average negro, | fear, would
rather go fishing than to pull up
six foot cotton stalks by the
roots. Having tried it | would
suggest a stump puller. l am
glad the miserable pest can't live
on anything but cotton, for if he
don't get any within a twelve
month he will be dead as a poll
tician that has lost his pull.
The second proposition is. No far
mer is hurt who lives within three
miles of a refinery or a railroad, for
he can plant cane, and it pays better
and is a more certain crop. Beyond
that distance he can plant corn, peas
and potatoes, both sweet and Irish.
make and bale his hay and he will
find a more satisfactory sale for each
of them than he often does for his cot
ton. He can and ought to raise his
own meat and lard, his milk and but
ter, chickens and eggs, and not the
least would be a good garden. He
could raise ane enough to make him
three or four barrels of syrup, though
he might have to haul it five or more
miles to a syrup factory, if there is
none nearer. The man who owns fifty
or more acres of land with a comfort
able little house on it ought to be the
freest and best cOntented man in the
land, he can't fail if he will keep out
of debt. And the way to do that is
not to spend more than he makes.
While times are hard it is not abso-
lutely necessary to have cake and
wine for dinner eve day and a ticket
to the picture show in the evening.
While you may hate to give it up. you
might drink less whiskey. And the
dear girls, q few less feathers in their
hats. But above all keep out of the
clutches of the constable, for if they
drag you up before the justice of the
peace. by the time they and the lawyer
get through with you, you will wish
you had been somewhere else. This
parish of ours is a great country and
has many good men in it, you will
even find some of them on the police
jury and town councils we will beat
the weevil even if we have to starve
him to death, SO do not let us give up
until the lunar moon has been dark
ened and the waves are dead, and the
ship lies rOtting in the mart and the
hungry dog sits down bowling at his
lonliness." Safe, happy and con-
tented is the man with his fifty acres,
but what must he do who is without
land, money or credit and is only
poor. RENTER.

POLITICAL POINTERS
Demscrsls BeId Couierence q
 New Bsven.

Starting with an opening rally at the Hyperion theater. New Haven. Friday evening the democrats of the state will wage one of the most ac- tive campaigns in recent years. This was decided upon yesterday at, conference between Judge A. Heaton Robertson, democratic nominee for governor, the other nominees on the state ticket, Chairman Charles w. Comstock of Montville, Bryan F. Ma han of New London, who is looking out for Bryan's interests fin Connec- ticut, and few other leaders Ways and means for financing the cam paign were also talked over Out side of the notification committee, of which Judge Samuel, L. Bronson of New Haven is member. the prin- cipal speaker will be ex-Governor Thomas M. Waller of New London, who nominated Judge Robertson in the state convention at Hartford. From this notification meeting on there will be series of rallies uL to the week of the election. One of the rallies will be addressed by Theodore Bell. of California and Professor Frank Herring of Notre Dame. This rally will be held in New Haven October IF.
 George Woodruff. editor of the Litchfield Inquirer and lifelong demo- crat, has joined the republican ranks. His brother, James F. Woodruff, as associate editor, Is still advocating democratic principles. The republi- cans of Litchfeld are planning to nominate George for the legislature, and the democrats have practically decided to run James for representa- tive. The canvass, should the broth CTS be rival candidates, will be watched with interest throughout the state.
 The Rev s. c. Ohman, pastor of the Swedish Lutheran church in New Britain, is to take the stump for Taft and Sherman in the New Eng land states during the coming cam paign.

WATER IN PROSPECT
City Brook EUpiiss Iois ihs
 Naugslack River.

A Naugatuck man who is keeping track Of the water question in this city said to-day that If Waterbury wants to get hold of an inexhaustlbIe supply. of water at small outlay. the aldermen should make tour of what is known as City brook, which rises in Prospect and rattles down the hill to Naugatuck, where 1t emp ties into the Naugatuck river. He claims that this stream could be headed into the Prospect reservoir and that the entire cost, including land damages, would not exceed $200,000. With this source to draw from, he stated that Waterbury would have anAample supply of good water for the next twenty-five years. If this be true 1t is the best. thing yet. but If the boards keep on invesu- gating they will not have any money to build with when they find what they want. One thing that has to be considered Is that the Mad River Water Co claims to own everything in sight all through that region,s and in case the city should find it neces- sary to buy something from that con- cern 1t would come too high A few years ago when water was very scarce the city pumped from the Mad river near Harper's Ferry and thought nothing more of 1t until one fine afternoon the board of public works received bill for something in the neighborhood of $11 900. The board held 1t up and notwithstanding that some of the most prominent folks in. town pleaded and later on threatened, the bill was not approved and finally seeing nothing could move the "blockheads, as one limb of the law termed the officials, the representatives of the company got mad and came no more
 The agitation about East Noun tain and the published statements that additional land should be pur- chased there opened the eyes of farmers in that district so that what you could buy last week for small sum you couldn't touch it to-day for twice that amount. The city has been buying land right along, the last ad- ditions being the Sprague and Hotch- kiss places, which went at low t1g- ure, but now it Is different and the Rudolphs and others will see that they are not caught mapping. Of course condemnation proceedings can be taken and commissions appointed to appraise the value of such proper ty as the city might want to acquire, but this is an unpopular way of doing business and municipalities do not like to resort to it.

THE CITY COURT.
Ordered to Pay $3 Week to Sup
 port Minor Children.

Patrick Gilchrist was in the city court to-day. charged with intoxica, .tion and non-support of his two minor children who are in the care of his sister, Mrs Lawlor. A year ago Gilchrist was ordered to pay $3 a week toward the maintenance of his children. The hard times was his excuse for not complying with that order. Saturday night he came to town from Bridgeport and fell among friends whose hospitality landed him in the state house. On the charge of intoxication sentence was suspended and on the other charge he was ordered to pay $3 a week.
 Peter Botinus was charged with assaulting his wife last Thursday. She. said he had no cause for the assault while his story was that he found his wife was having too good a time while he was at work This she denied. A fine of $5 and costs was imposed.
 Blood and bottled beer flowed in row between Carmine Zueca anu Anelo Saccardi at she latter's home in the west side, Sunday evening. The mems wives took part in the disturbance and Mrs Zucca got a black eye. Brass knuckles were used in the racket A fine of $15 and costs was imposed on Zucca and sentence was suspended in the case of Saccardi.

I want to show some of the thousands of young men in the steef business that there is something beyond the almighty dol lar and their own pleasure.
