THE SWEEP RAKE.

| inch stuff this is raised about foot
above the sweep TO keep the hay from
sliding back too far over the sweep. 1t
should be braced about four feet from
each end.
The wheels are 1S inches in diam
eter; and piece Of inch gas pipe is
used for an axle. 1t is clamped to the
teeth. two pins with washers being
used to keep the wheels from sliding
sideways and rubbing against the teeth.
The piece projecting at the back
under the sweep should extend about
two feet; it is beveled like a sleigh
runner; it Is to keep the teeth from
raising too high where riding on the
empty sweep.
In hitching horses to sweep that
have never been used on one a person
can get best results by tying the halter
shank to the end Of the guide-arms and
making both lines the same length on
the harness; then fasten one line to
each ring Of the bit. When it is desired
to turn the horses to the right, simply
hold the off horse back, and drive the
nigh one ahead, and he will naturally
swing around to the right.
In drawing a sweep load Of hay on
to the stacker draw it as far ahead as
possible, then back the horses and raise
ends of teeth, and drive ahead again ;
this will pack the hay on the stacker
and less of it is apt to fall back on the
ground when being raised to the stack.
The most convenient size Of stack to
build is 16 feet wide by about % feet

HE STIRRED THEM UP.

Mr. William r. Hearst was not.out
on his speaking tour so very long,
but he covered a large area of ter
ritory, coming as far south as Geor-
gia and Alabama and what is more
interesting he succeeded in creating
a considerable amount of perturba-
ton, discussion and comment He
did not contribute to the gaiety of
nations" to any extent, but he did
contribute to the concern of sundry
politicians and public men in both
of the great political parties. He
was not at all partial, was the indie
ipendence Lacquer, and he tackled re-
publicans and democrats with cheer
full impartiality. Whether he lied,
slandered and distorted, as is freely
charged, or whether he told the cold
truth We cannot say. It is certain,
though, that he has put United
States Senator Foraker of Ohio
right out into the limelight of pub
licity, and eliminated him from pub
lie life. He has also put Governor
Haskell of Oklahoma, democrat,
on the witness stand, with some Pc
culiar charges that evidently sting
the Oklahoma executive, for the lat
ter says in print that Hearst is a
cowardly liar. Mr. Hearst also al
ludes to some other well-known po-
litical figures in words that challenge
inquiry, and all in all the New York
publisher has succeeded in enlivening
the campaign in no ordinary way.
Let the public be patient, and abide
results. If Mr.. Hearst has slandered
anybody the truth will come out, and
Hearst wifi be the man most hurt.
If he has told the truth he has done
both of the old parties a real service.
Time will tell.

THE NET RESIIT-

Hon. Joe S. Turner, the chairman
of the state prison board, had a card
in Sundays papers thanking his
friends for their loyalty and sympa-
thy during the recent investigation
of the states convict system, and
promising to later turn some light
on the whole affair, which, the
chairman asserts, was nothing but
politics. He intimates that what
he has to say will astonish the
people of Georgia Mr. Turner, in con-
Guiding his card, says the general
assembly finally, by a decisive ma
jority, indicated the commission by
enacting law giving it greater pow
ers and responsibilities than it ever
had before"
That last sentence states, in truth
the net result of the expensive extra
session of the Legislature. At first,
as the Eastman Hustler points out in
its last issue, there was talk of i'm
parchment of the members of the
prison commission; then of it's abol-
ishment, looking toward which num-
erous bills and resolutions were in
troduced; next Of only allowing the
members to serve out their terms.
Finally it dwindled down to mere
censure through all the forms from
severe to mild. And out of all this
talk has come a law which gives to
the same prison commission more
power and more money to spend in
the conduct and in the maintenance
of the penitentiary department than
it has ever had before.
The law, which might have been
made at the regular session had the
governor not interfered and the SEN
ate had only surrendered, as it
stands is a most eloquent witness to
the folly and UseIessness of the extra
session.

The Night Rider.

From the Farmers Union News.
The secular press is having a great
deal to say just now about the Night
Riders, and their apparent efforts to
throttle the ginning of cotton. 1t is
needless to state that the Farmers
Union is opposed to the methods be-
ing used by these sO-called night
riders.
The Farmers Union has always
stood for law and order We have
always been opposed to old or young,
big or little, rich or poor, violating
the law. We are anxious to secure
our price; we are determined; we
propose to fight the battle out, we
are fighting fair. We are fighting it
upon plane that the most severe
critic cannot object to. We believe
we will win. We are determined to
win
The people who are CHASING them
selves as night riders are liable to
destroy the very thing and the very
purpose for which we are fighting,
and it for the purpose of discourage
ing the growth of this in the south
that we are writing this article. We
ask each and every member of the
organization throughout the south to
use every effort among their laborers
and friends to keep them from in any
way enfisting in the methods or OPP
eratious used by the night riders.

A MANS POINT OF VIEW.

Be syph-like, and if you can't be
syph-like be as syph-like as you
can. This is the mandate which all
over the land is breaking the hearts
Of women, and causing strong men
to weep.
And who wouldn't weep? Wash t
fourteen pounds of false hair to every
head enough? And now comes this
this monstrosity of a get-up, this
.hapeless, curveless, Straightforward
lownness of figure for which wO-
men, old and young, are striving
with a fury which is pitiful. And
that isn't all. One could stand, per-
haps, after one got used to it, one
piece gowns with apparently no be-
ginning and no end, and certainly
Got having the slightest intimation
of waistline; one could stand fiat
hats atop Sarah Bernhard coiffures
if only the slim and the tall es-
sayed these things. But, oh, the at
tempts made by little girls, girls with
dimples and alluring baby ways, to
look statuesque and to assume that
popular bored and far-away express
sion! The mothers. aye, grandmoth-
ers, who get themselves up to look
extremely long when theye are ex-
tremely broad
From a mans point of view, at
least, it is to be hoped that this
phase of fashion will soon be at an
end, and that the time is not far off
when our women folk will be salts
fed to be as nature intended them.
One is forced to moan with the
poet "Ain't it awful, Mabel?"

H0zO to xii a Lie.

It's pretty hard to know how to
treat a lie when it's about yourself.
You can't go out of your way to
deny it, because that puts you on the
defensive, and sending the truth after
lie that's got a good running start
is like trying to round up a STAN
peded herd of steers when the scare
is on them. Lies are great travellers
and welcome visitors in good many
homes, and no questions asked.
Truth travels slow, has to prove its
identity, and then lot of people
hesitate to turn out an agreeable
stranger to make room for it.
About the only way to kill lie
is to live the truth. When your
credit is attacked don't bother to
deny the rumors, but discount your
bills. When you are attacked I'M
justly go about your business along
the usual ruts, and the lies soon fade
away for lack of nOurishment.-Ma-

Editor Seely of the Atlanta Geor-

reply to the recent cards of Judge
Spencer Atkinson, and disposes of
the matter in way that should be
satisfactory to himself and friends.
Mr.. Seely, however, is incensed at
the statement of Representative
John Holder that he sent private
detectives to pry into the intimate
affairs of that gentleman, and says
that unless the newspapers which
printed it make retraction at once
he will sue them for SANDER.

The Kind of a Man Joe Brown Is

From the New York Press.
Joe Brown is a sincere friend.
He is as ugly as a goat, and admits it,
but he is man of the old-fashioned
kind. He is as independent as Abe
Lincoln, as silent as Napoleon, as
calm as Lucifer and as immovable
as the Rock of Gibraltar-or the
American tariff. In Joe Brown Geor-
gia will have the ablest governor
she has had in thirty years. Like
Johnson, he is no mans man. He
rs of the earth-earthy.

his campaign fund by the oil trust
in his last race

A FLOOD OF CoNvIC1s.
From the Augusta Chronicle.
One had fno f1nrn Of tho N nrnr a

lOn the aug uStd CQrOQlcl0.
One bad feature of the new con-
vict law is that all the unhung, con-
victed criminals in Georgia are to
be scattered in squads all over the
state instead of being herded in a
few large bodies in isolated places.
Another bad feature is that these
desperate convicts are not to be kept
steadily at hard work, but are to be
worked only as arrangements to that
end may be made, which arrange
ments, under the act, seem termina-
BILE almost at pleasure.
A third feature as bad as either
OF the others, and possibly worse, is
the parole clause which, while in a
separate act, is part and parcel of
the new convict scheme. Under this
the governor can excuse convicts
from confinement on the convict's
word of honor to be good. To re-
lieve an apprehended congestion, -
that is having $500 more felons on
his hands than he knows what to do
with, it is understood his excellen-
cy intends to parole 400 or 500 of
the more worthy" reprobates.
When the system thus outlined
gets fairly to work; when squads of
felons are camped in decent neigh
borhOods; when these squads, I'M
tanned by constant hard labor, have
leisure to plot mutiny and other
forms of deviltry; and when swarm
of ''paroled" burglars, forgers, stab
bers and so on get back to their
old haunts we are inclined to think
that we will find to our sorrow that
large problem cannot be solved by
small men.

SOMETHING DOING.

There has been something doing
in national politics the past few
days. After Mr.. Hearst had dealt
Senator Foraker of Ohio Knockout
blow alledging that he was in the
service of the Standard Oil trust,
President Roosevelt Jumped on the
PROSTATE senator and cudgeled him
nightly with the Big Stick, it
all resulting in Forakers with
drawal from the national cam
paign and his dates to speak
for and with Candidate Taft be-
ing cancelled Senator Foraker has
come back at Taft, and charges that
in that indignant statesman's bosom
there is raging no righteous hatred
of oil and trusts. The senator kept
an eye on Mr. Taft while that can
didate way flying around with the
trust magnates and accepting their
hospitality, and points out that only
a month ago he was keeping COM
pany and slipping with the oil folk.
The New Yorw World, which. I'M
til the present campaign, had never
been a Bryan supporter, notes in
connection with this matter that
President Roosevelt himself was the
beneficiary of 100000 from the
Standard Oil Company in his last
campaign, the company having con-
tributed that sum to the republican
fund.
Then there is Governor Charles N.
Haskell of Oklahoma, the treasurer
Of the democratic national cam
paign committee, who, because of
the charge by Mr. Hearst that
he, too, had been tarred with
the same stick. which was also
taken advantage of by the Big
Noise in the white house to shake
the Big Stick at the democrats, has
resigned his position TO save the
party any possible embarrassment
Though no proof has been submitted
of his guilt in any respect Governor
Haskell has withdrawn from any con-
nection with the campaign under the
fire Of charges because. no matter
what may be said or shown in his
behalf, with some the suspicion will
remain Of undue corporate influence.
Next, the republican campaign
committee has dispensed with the
services of 7. G. Dupont as head of
the bureau of campaign speakers of
their national committee. Mr. Du-
Pont, who is a consistent and life
long republican of Delaware, is the
head of the one hundred and fifty
million dollar powder trust with
which the federal government is en-
gagged in litigation, and, in view of
the developments of the past few
days, the republicans deemed it good
policy to have his connection with
their campaign cease.
These incidents illustrate in
striking manner the determined
growth of public sentiment demand
ing the divorce of the great Inter
ests" from politics.
