standard his friends ana admirers set

| Isl ature, after a long contest, good
men all over the South felt that a
great victory fer conservatism and true
democracy over radicalism and dema-
gogy had been won. It was a signal
triumph for the right.
In Alabama, Mr.. Perey's election to
the United States senate was applaud
ed almost as heartily as if it had been
something pertaining directly to our
own politics, for there naturally Is and
always will be strong community of
sentiment between the two states. But
in recent years nearly al of the South
ern states have ben sorely smit.ten
by seaf-seeking and reckless ieaders
and have been materially set back
either by legislation antsgonistic TO
capital, or legislation indicating pur-
itanieal ndeney--ehiefly for vose@get-
ting effect.
Mississippi has been moving fast
along radical iaes. Radiea1ism was
typifed In Vardamaniem and the dem
agogie blight was getting close to the
vitah of Mississippi's body petite. All
of Mississippi s sister states were close
~ watching, and those that had been
boss-ridden were keyed up TO high
pitch Of interest. When the deadlock
at Jackson was broken by the election
of Mr. Percy the whole South breathed

The jackson correspondent Of the
Times Democrat suggests that the pres
ent senatorial situation may result in
the organization Of a new party. That
another aggressive party would help the
political atmosphere of the state there
- ne doubt. Life ia a community Of
saints becomes extremely monotoDous;
where all are saints there is little en-
ergy developed and still less incentive
or urgent need to fight the devil, and
the time comes, as it has come in Mis-
sissippi, when the saints become tired
of each others company aud go for
each others throats. But as there Is
small likelihood of another party com
ing into existence in Mississippi, eli
cues and factions will take their place:
shey are already here. and Governor
EseI, through his action in the matter
of the senatorial primary. is iRstFu-
mental IN making the faetional feel
ing stronger than ever. 1t must be adj
nitted that the governor is placed in
a very peculiar position; it is well
known that he has the same affection
for his predecessor as the devil has
for holy water, and it Is thought by
some that his chief objection to the
primary is that he might have to APP
point Vardaman to the United States
senate should the latter carry the cleo
zion. Bat it is suggested by others
8 aEar,
Percy to Vardaman, does not want
either, and. If Percy's recent election
be permitted to stand, that he, or
candidate closer to him than either of
cen. session of the legislature, would
be a candidate for the full term in the
primary of 1911.
Meantime, both Percy and Varda-
man insist on the primary recommend
ed by the legislature, and the muddle
Is more impenetrable than ever. Most
voters of the state want to see the pri-
mary, being anxious to have the sena-
torial question out of the way, whether
the governor is ready 10 announce his
AnildacN or NOT. OONelHoF noel Is
uneasy about the lack of protection
around primary that has not the sane
tion of the law; he need feel no uneas-
tness on that score, the partisans of
Percy and Vardaman will see that there
is no ballot stuf6ng, as they are too
strongly attached to the man of their
choice to permit unserupulous friends
of their opponents TO stuff the ballot
boxes. and it may be taken for granted
that neither candidate would permit
or deliberately tolerate dishonesty at
the election
1t is fairly reasonable TO suppose
that the election viii be held, whether
with or without the approval of the
governor, rs neither Percy nor Varda-
man can lose anything in it. If Percy
he the choice of the people, his statu
quo will remain undisturbed, but should
Nardalnan be elected and the governor
fail to appoint him, his chances before

name Mr.. FAomas Taggart chairman of
the national Denecratie campaign COM
nsttes, hiss surprised the whole country
and Demonstrated that the Democratic
party is bringing another strong man
- the trent as possible presidential
timber
Governor MassshaH had a struggle
wfth the Democratic party bosses ia
his state, and he was compelled TO ap-
peal from then direct TO the people.
Others have done that before Aian, but
10 in seldom that such an appeal rs so
prompt and effective as in the present
case. The bosses had declared that
they wsuld elect Taggart senator as
far as the Democratic nomination could
insure that result, and that they had
enough proxies in the convention to
insure that result. A senator was aem-
mated but it was nns Taggart. 1t was
4ohn WORTH Kern, who was the eandl-
date fer president of the United
States on the last Democratic national
ticket
Governor Marshall had insisted on
TIVE poin4s-namely, shat the Demo
cratic candidate for senator should be
nominated in the party convention,
ard that she nominee should not be
Thomas Taggart. His success was great
er than his most enthusiastic friends
could have hoped. The nomination was
made in convention ana Thomas Tag
part was overwhelmingly defeated

Marshal 90 kigh place among the

PORK PRODUCTION.

Hog raising offers the FARMERS OF
this state an opportunity to make
| Quick, sure and big money. Many far
| mers will not be able to grow cotton
| pro4itably on a large part Of thelr
farms. The government does not ad-
wise farmer to plant exceedingly Ter
tile land or late land in cotton. The
eotcon generally grows too rank on
very fertile soil and it is impossible
to make an early crop on late land
Consequently thousands of acres mast
be devoted to pastures and food crops.
We can no longer raise cotton to
buy pork. Mo man has ever been able
to give a sensible reason for growing
cotton to pay for bacon and lard IN
stead of raising cheap leguminous
been able TO give a sensible reason for
feeding corn from weaving time till
killing time instead of raising hogs
on pasture grasses, oats, potatoes, sor-
ghum, and cheap leguminous crops
If we wish to make the greatest sue
cess raising hogs, we must grow cheap
crops for the hoks to harvest.
We need good hogs to manufacture
grasses, peanuts, peas, rape, chufas,
sweet potatoes, soy beans, artieholSes
and other farm products into bacon
and lard. Bermuda or carpet grass
viii keep hog in good growing con
and early spring pasture can be OBJ
tanned by sowing hairy vetch, white,
red or burr clover seed broadcast on
Bermuda or carpet grass sod early in
the fall Peanuts. chufas, sweet pota-
toes and artichokes planted in April
make excellent feed for hogs In the
fall and winter. Two paintings Of
peas may be made liz April. one of an
only variety and one of a late variety
The two varieties may be planted az
ain at the same time in June of July.
Very little corn will be necessary
Cowpeas without grain have given
so far better results at our experiment
stations than any other crop tested
One season the peas were grown on
very poor hill land and produced $50
pounds of pork to the acre. The next
season the crop was grown on bottom
land and produced 4s3 pounds OF pork
TO the acre. The hogs were turned in
when the first pods began to ripen
Prof. Dagger, at the Alabama sta
ton, found an acre of Spanish pea
nuts en- very poor Land produced 600
pounds of live weight of hogs, and an
acre of eowpeas about 400 pounds. No
country on earth has such advantages
for raising cheap pork and yet no
country raises so little of It.
We are told In a bulletin issued by
the Louisiana station that one acre of
Spanish peanuts grown on poor land
at Calhoun contained 1872 pounds of
nitrogen; an acre Of velvet beans con-
tanned 1p1 pounds; and an acre of cow
peas 10S pounds. These crops made
from two to three tons of feedstuffs
richer in food elements than wheat
bran. Such feedstuffs can be harvest
ed by hegs without serious loss of fer
tihzing value and consequently there
is no excuse for poor land and the
shipping tpf pork and lard into Missis-
sippi. G. III. Afford, Spec. Agt.

MORE MIKES HEARD FROM
A Number Have Written, Telling Of
Losses Reaching 100000.

Council Bluffs, March 17.-Contrary
to expectations, the government was
unable to reach conclusion by noon
of its case against John c. Mabray
and his associates, who are on trial
charged with extensive swindling by
illegal use of the United States mail.
The mass of evidence produced by the
prosecution during the past week was
supplemented during the morning ses-
sion with that of postoffice employees of
South Bend Ind, San Francisco, New
Orleans and Little Rock, with view
to calling up the various defendants
against whom evidence had been ad-
duced, to show a general conspiracy.
The government this morning re,
ceived letter from ]. J. Fleming Of
Rexford, Kan, who declared he lost
$4,000 on a prize fight at Denver.
Fleming in his letter expressed de-
sire to testify in this case.
Colonel Temple, the district attor-
ney, stated that nearly fifty similar
communications had come to his at
tention since the present trial opened,
due generally to the publicity given
the case.
The amounts named in these COM
munications as having been lost, he
stated, exceeded 100000.
Thomas Gay who turned states ev-
idence and testified earlier in the trial
was recalled and described several let
tiers which he testified had been eX-
,k1 hAf dot DO nj q M
himself, through the mails. Witness
was given another vigorous cross-ex-
animation by Mr.. FINLEY and admitted
having been a coal miner, gambler
and a bartender. He denied having
ever been a penitentiary convict.
A long story by Postoffice Inspector
! j. S. Swenson covering his connection
with the running down and conviction
of the defendants in this case was be-
gun.
Yesterdays session of the trial of
John C, Mabray and eighty-siX other
defendants charged with swindling
operations by alleged fraudulent use
of the mails, produced a kaleidoscope
of testimony not yet equalled during
the trial. The testimony of the vic
tins placed on the stand, while re-
hearsing experiences in many respects
not dissimilar from those already re
cited to the jury, was given by per
sons whose personality completely
changed the complications of the sys
TEN by which they were induced tC
make contributions to the collection
alleged to have been taken up by the
defendants.

Centerville, S. d., March l7.-Gov-
ernor Wesley opened his campaign
here before an audience which COM
fortably filled the opera house, after
spending the day here with political
friends.
He was introduced by Andrew S.
Bogue, an attorney of this place, and
made his address for the insurgent
principles, which he declared are to go
on until there are no more abuses
through the Vaccinations of public
service corporations. He spoke en-
phatically against Cannonism and AL
drichism and lauded Roosevelt.
The governor was emphatic in the
statement that the institutions of the
state have been managed economically
and that the expense of government is
now below that of many other north
western states.
