A NEW POLITICAL
PARTY.

Never in the history of our gov :
ernment has there been seen, great
er dissentions within political lines
than is evidenced at the present
time. There appears to be de,
sire OF all classes 20 get away from
old party rule. being thoroughly
dissatisfied with existing condition
1t is believed that this growing
discomfort among the populace,
" i'll finally result in the organiza.
ton Of new and independan,
party, under whose banner will be
the people f!ocking, like falling
leaves from nutumnal forest, in
uumberless count. The var again.
ST corporate rule and supremacy
OF the few, is forever on, until
remedy is found, which will he in
the elimination uf political bosses
and vote herders from every city,

will then I've possible to elect clean

CEMENT SIDE WALKS
AT LAST.

II was decided by the town coun-
Gil in spe :ial meeting last Weines
day night to 30 at work immediate
" of laying four blocks of cement
sidewalks. which was to be done at
the expense of property owners.
The cement is to be laid on the
north side of Elk avenue, from sec
ond to fourth. one block on the east
side of third street, from Elk to
White Rock and on the north side
from Third to Second Street While
everybody seems to approve OF the
cement walks going down, there is
much coment as :. to whether the
town board is doing the fair thing
by the property owners. Cement
walks are what we need to put the
town upon a modern basis ard we
are not going to stir up row as to
whether the town or property owner
,.ays the bill, so long as We get the
neat durable walks.

Some Random Thoughts.

We ask the attention of our farm
ers this week to the clipping about
hogs and Hogs VS. Cotton. With butts
selling at 13 cents wholesale and cash,
and hams at 10 to 20 cents until the
demand is supplied there will be more
money in hogs than in cotton, even
with cotton at 15 cents. And this is
the best way for farmers to resolve
to keep the price Of cotton at Is
cents. If the cotton growers of the
South were also growing not the
bacon and lard to feed the South, but
merely enough to feed the dwellers
on the farms, this crop Of cotton
would now be selling for IS or 20
cents per pound, and instead Of
hear and bull" fight around IA and
10 cents the bears" would be trying
to force the price below IS cents.
And the mills would be running short
time to help, while the bulls" would
be trying to force the price to 20
cents.
Now, Mr.. Farmer. you may dismiss
these remarks with sneer, but If
you and your neighbor. which means
every grower Of cotton, had full
smokehouses and corn cribs you
would see the above picture q living
realty. What are you going to do
about it? Continue to grow cotton
for the other fellow to fix the price
and spend the price Of one to one and
a quarter pounds of cotton to buy one
pound of meat? Or will you see to It
that you grow enough meat to feed
your force, all on your place, and
have some fancy hams and breakfast
strips to sell to the "plutorcrat" who
is able to put home grown hams on
his table; and incidently take into
your hands the fixing of the prices of
cotton? You will never do it in any
other way. mark my word.

XIII the Grade Bull"

The value of a good dairy bull,
which Is used for from 6to 3 years
In herd OF from 10 to 20 average
dairy cows. may easily be $1,000
greater than that of a scrub or grade
bull. II Is this fact which has been
demonstrated In numerous instances,
that gives force to the battle cry"
Of those working for the develop
ment In the dairy interest of the
South. "Itill the Grade Bull"
II is not unusual to find the differ
snce between the values Of the but
ter produced by the best and the
poorest cows in a herd amount to
from $50 to SIS in a single year and
the average COW frequently produces
S25 more than the poorest. In fact,
cows in the same herd, where feeding
and care are the same. are SO great
that practically all the profits are
made by so per cent. Of the COWS.
I'm view of these facts the import
ance OF pure bred sire, from a fam
lily OF large producers. can scarcely
be over-estimated. Good care and
liberal feeding are essential factors in
the Improvement Of the dairy herds
but these combined will not do more
than will a really hrst-Iass sire in
permanently increasing the value of
the herd.--Raleigh IN. c. Progress

! heard fellow say a few days
ago that his merchant was selling
Western fat meat by Lalance--that is.
he would place a silver dollar on one
pan of the balance scale and cut a
piece of fat-hack t. balance it.
1t isn't quite as bad as that yet,
but the thing is getting worse every
day, and it is time, brethren and
friends, that we get to producing
meat of some consequence in the
South. 1t is mighty easy to figure
how we can not afford to grow any
sidc-linc crops but concentrate on
speciality. However, ] have no
ti'oa that the farmer who has money
in his "britchcs" keeps it there. the
majority Of times, 10y growing what
he eats.
This pig proposition is easy, Ike
anything else when we know how.
