IMPROVED FAPM IMPLEMENTS.

The time has come when the South. ern farmer must use improved farm machinery, and not depend on cheap and unskilled labor.
 There is more money to the farmer to pay good wages for hand who iJ able to drive two or three mules at a time than there is to hire cheap hand to only drive one mule
 It has never occurred to a great many of the Southern farmers that a man can blow two rows at a round with improved machinery and do bet ter work than he can to only blow one row at round with the imple- ments now being used.
 We can not afford to travel any longer in the ruts travelled by our forefathers, but must change our plans and so utilize our time as to make bring the greatest result pos. sible.
 me great trusts and combines of our country have been using improved machinery for years, and they have doubled and thribled their income by so doing, and we, the farmers, must adopt the same course of procedure. We can not, we will not, waste our time aiy longer by trying to use the unimproved and insufficient farm i'm. plements, but we, the farmers, will rise to the necessity of the hour and use such implements as will make cheap negro labor undesirable and the foreign immigration detestable.
 The Western farmer is able to make money and pay his farm labor twice what we are paying them in the South, not because of the superior advantages of his soil, or his mar kets, but because he uses such imple- ments as will enable him to do twice as much work as is now being done by the Southern laborer.
 Wake up, you horny-handed sons of our unsurpassed South; look about you, gather information and dream no more of the cheap and unprofitable negro, or of the foreign immigrant, but of improved implements and meth- ods.-Union News. -TyF%s ea.

The sum raised was not an

vors the passage of measure which
lpassed the United States Senate in
1896, but which Republican Congress
has ever since refused to enact, plead
ing for trial by jury in cases of indi-
rect contempt. And does this raise
question of vital concern to busi-
ness men? The business man has
right of trial by jury. An attempt
has been made to raise a false issue in
regard to the courts and to make it
appear that the demand for trial by
jury is an assault upon the integrity
of the courts. Those who make this
argument might as well insist On abo-
liti0n of the jury in all cases, for the
jury system itself is just as much re-
flection upon the bench as is this de
mand for trial by jury in these pary
ticular cases. But, as a matter of fact,s
the jury is the bulwark of the court
as we'll as of the accused, for the courts
would be very much more liable to
criticism if juries were abolished than

two questions; First, is there any
thing in the labor plank of the Dem

GOV. POST is NOT LIKED.

''Our people are dissatisfied.
Judge Winthrop was very popular
with the natives while he was Gov
ernor. He tried to do his best for
all parties, but Mr.. Post is too
much of a politician. That is the
trouble with the men sent to gov
ern us. They use their position
to push themselves along, and when
we get good piece of legislation
it is because its passage will be
benfcial to the Governor or the
Council in some way"
Antonio Velez Alvardo, a COM
mission merchant at 20 Broadway,
the president of the club, also had
something to say.
"Porto Rico has nothing to ex-
pect from the Republican party"

year this office was filled by A. r.

interests of the league at heart He
also has the advantage of being a good
business man and hustler. A secreta-

Just one piece of bad news was

that recently he was boycotted by the
musicians union in that city and that

BUTTER By THE YARD.
The Way II Is Sold, Pure and Sweet,
In Cambridge, England.

In Cambridge. England. butter is
sold by the yard. For generations it
has been the practice OF Cambridge
shire dairy folk to roll their butter into
lengths, each length measuring a yard
and weighing pound, Deity wrap
ped in strips Of clean white cloth. the
cylindrical rolls are packed In long
narrow baskets made for the purpose
and thus conveyed to market The
butter women who, In white linen
aprons and sleeves. preside over the
stalls in the market have no need Of
weights or scales for dispensing their
wares. Constant practice and ex-
perienced eyes enable them with a
stroke of the knife to divide a yard
OF butter into halves or quarters with
almost mathematical exactness.
The university people are the chief
buyers of this curiosity shaped prod
uct. In addition TO being famed for
its purity and sweetness Cambridge
yard butter" is eminently adapted for
being served TO the students in the

sized pieces and accompanied by loaf
