CONTESTED VOTE
FOR CONGRESSMAN

Elberton, Ca, September 9.-The COM
mission appointed to take testimony in
the contest filed by Congressman w. M.
Howard against the nomination of Col.
j. s. Tribble, his opponent in the recent
democratic primary. will report to the
DISTRICT executive committe at Athens
Saturday that Howard had a majority
of nine votes over Tribble in Ebert coun-
ty as the result of their throwing out
today number of illegal votes. On the
face of the returns Tribble had a ma
jority of four votes In Ebert county
giving him the convention vote of this
county under the unit rule. If Gilbert
county is officially placed in the Howard
column 1t would mean his denomination
by convention majority of four votes.
Only the representatives named by Mr.
Howard served on the investigating COM
mittee.
Mr.. Tribble refused to participate in
the proceedings. 1t is expected that the
fight will be carried to the district con-
vention and possibly into the general cleo
ton.

COTTON DECLINES
DURING The WEEK
Market Is Not Supported and
Prices Turn Downward
DEMAND MUCH BETTER
ductiOn still Further Aids Sell
ing Movement But the Late
Prices Are Better

New York, September "A decline
of so cents a bale on September con-
tracts to s1.O0 a bale is the outcome
of the weeks operations in the spec
ulative cotton market. At one time
earlier in the week greater losses were
recorded, but in the late trading
stronger tendency developed and part
of the loss was recovered.
At the outset there was heavy sell
absence of noteworthy support prices
in some cases were forced down fully
40 points On reports of further rains
in Texas, some points reporting from
l to inches, the bear element was
encouraged to make a more vigorous
attack on prices and were materially
assisted by houses with southern con-
nections who were again selling free
ly against actual purchases In the
south. The break occasioned by this
selling uncovered number of stop
loss orders and these naturally accel-
Grated the downward movement. Re-
ports from the east were also more
en- that We're needed to stop seeding
Still less favorable advices were re-
ceived from Georgia and Alabama Sub
sequently prices fell even lower under
virtually the same conditions, but was
followed by a rally occasioned in part
by reports of good spot sales in Liver
pool. At the lowest figures it was
noticed there was a much better de-
mand from good sources, it being
claimed for one thing that spinners
bought on the soft spots, being deter
mined evidently to provide for their
future requirements and not to be
caught as they were last season by
deficient supply late in the crop
year. For a short time after the turn
OF the week the downward course of
prices was again resumed.
There was further hedge selling for
southern account, additional liquida ton
by longs, and a renewed attack by the
bear crowd.
One incentive for selling was the
report that spinners would extend the
time for curtailment. Then, too, there
was some selling based on the first
ginning report from the census bureau
The only bearish feature of this, how
ever was the fact that the ginning
In Texas was much larger than a year
ago, but this had been expected, and
moreover a decidedly small quantity
was ginned in other states, showing
clearly how late the crop is as rule.
Today good part of the early loss
was recovered. Those who had been
successful in selling the market down
earlier in the week tried to cover and
they found offerings decidedly meager.
There was a good demand from spin
ners, the south and Liverpool. A sharp
rise in September contracts in Liver
pool was one of the features and was
ascribed to an active demand from the
continent where conditions In the dry
goods trade are said to be greatly i'm
proved.
Southern markets are frmer and the
receipts outside of Texas are small
Mills were buying and talk of curtail-
ment seems unfounded. Reports of a

Every farm that has a part of its
land fenced in should have limited
number of sheep. Professor Shaw
says that from ten to twenty head can
be kept on 100 acres of land without
any cost to the owner for food, except
in the winter. They win keep them
selves very largely on what otherwise
would be lost. They can be utilized
in trimming up all the byplaces on the
farm. They will eat much of what
the cattle have rejected, will trim out
all or nearly all the weeds found in
the pastures, and while thus engaged
they will not seriously encroach on the
supplies Of food for the cattle. Mel
Their win the sheep foul the pastures
so that dairy cows win not relish the
same. Sheep droppings lie close upon
the ground and so scattered that theii

GoyERNoR-ELEcT WILSON has a
better idea of the, political machine
than the newspapers which are for
ever decrying it. In an address before
the City club, of Milwaukee, Wis,
last week he spoke his mind on the
subject Of bosses, just as he is recorded
in other addresses delivered when he
was not thought of for political office,
and his remarks must have Jared the
editors OF the papers of the State
afflicted with fear of political leaders
Among other things after referring TO
the political machine as a necessity,
DR.. Wilson said The political boss,
without which the machine would
cease to exist, cannot be thrown out
of Office, because ne seldom holds office.
He is picked out for his own genius
for the private management, given
him by the Lord. and not by the peo-
pie. The machines to fear are the
business machines, not the pure party
machines The former must be
smashed but care must be taken not
to smash the business along with

AN unofficial compilation of the cleo
tion returns received at the Secretary
Of States office shows that Woodrow
Wilson received 235, 1888 votes lard WV
lam M. Lewis 1874 ,573. This gives Mr..
Wilson a plurality of 1880 in the
State. Three years ago, when Gov
ernor Fort received a plurality Of sob
over Frank S. Katzenbacb, there were
1898 votes cast for Mr.. Fort, as
against 10000 for Mr.. Katzenbach.
In other words, MIR. Lewis received
8, TAO votes less. than Mr.. Fort and Mr..
Wilson received Al 633 more than Mr..
Katzenbach. AS between the two
great parties the vote for Governor
this year exceeded that Of 1907 BY 81,
1893. Killingbeck, the Socialist candl-
date this year, received 1916 votes:
while three years ago the Socialist vote
for Kraft was only 6,848. The Pr'hi-
bition vote this year took decided
slump, .Repp, the Prohibition candi-
date for Governor, receiving o. ly 1892
votes in the State. Three years age
the Prohibitionists polled $3.50 votes
for Governor, and in 1904, 1851. The
vote cast this year for Butterwortn,
the Socialist Labor candidate, was q
orc, as compared with /, 1858 cast for the
same candidate in 1907. The total vote
for the five GubernatoriaI candidates
in the field this year was 433, $50, as
against 1874, 2S4 in 1907. The unofficial
figures show that the Democrats car
ried the State this year on the average
Assembly vote by l4,06S, this being
the first time they have done 50 since
the Republicans came 10 power six
teen years ago. In 1896, although the
Democrats had the House, the Repub-
licans carried the State on the Assem-
bly, ticket by 1,432. In 1907 the Re
publican plurality was 1898; in 1908
it was 81 $3.50, and To 1909 it was Al, SOP
On the Assembly vote, therefore, the
Republican loss from last year was 55,-
$40.

Spread the Manure.

Applying manure in heaps is objec-
tionable for several reasons. The labor
Of handling is Increased. there is
danger from loss of decomposition and
teaching, the manure Is not uniformly
distributed. the spots beneath the heap
being more thoroughly MANFRED on
account of the teaching. Storing
manure in very large heaps is less OBJ
jectionable, provided the heap is care
fully covered with earth and not al
lowed to lie too long. BY applying
broadcast the manure is spread more
or less completely and evenly on the
field. being plowed in at once or al
lowed to lie some time on the surface.
This is preferably practiced on the
level field, where there is little danger
from surface washing. In late fall and
early spring there is likely to be very
little loss of nitrogen. s.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Weaninn Pias.

Pigs can be weaned at eight weeks,
but it is better not to wean them be-
fore ten or twelve. When weaned too
early the growth is apt to be stunted
unless they are abundantly supplied
with new milk fed at body heat. It is
more simple to give the SOW literally
OF milk soaked grain and let her nurse
them longer. Before weaving the pigs
eastrate any of the boars that are not
desired for breeding use.
The young pigs usually viii eat when
three weeks old and should be fed.
Have a small feeding pen for them
which the SOW cannot enter At first
give them sweet milk, only it must
not be sour. After they are five or
six weeks old add little, grain feed,
such as shorts, to the milk. When
the time comes to wean them COM
pleteiy do not risk taking them away
from the SOW at once.
