WHIP POOR-WILLS COW PEAS
The Whip-poor-wills are generally
preferred in the Central and Southern
States. They are bush form. early
maturing and especially desirable for
Peas.
NEW ERA COW PEAS.
New Eras are little earlier and

Wills.
WONDERFULS, CLAYS AND

For Hay. the Wonderfuls or Mixed
Cow PeRs are more productive, they
sh ,uld be planted with an occasional
grain of Corn, Sorghum Seed, Kaffir
Corn, etc., which will prevent the vine
from getting damaged by coming in
contact with the ground.
BLACK COW PEAS.

ORGIES IN CHICAGO APPALLING
New Years Debauchery Said to Bring
the Downfall of Scores of Moral
But Weak Women.

Chicago greeted the new year Sunday
with swelled heads and many bruises
and crimson spots, an ugly conscience
nual scenes of debauchery were even
more vivid than ever, but they were
confined to the hotels and cafes up to
after midnight, when these places began
to belch out their mobs of drunken, vul-
gar profane and vitiated inmates,
chiefly in rented dress suits and wear
ing instalment jewelry. From that
hour until long after daylight these
persons infested the streets, cars, taxi
cabs, the elevated roads and other con.
veyances.
The majority of them reached home,
but some will never get home, for the
New Years debauchery has become a
fruitful occasion for recruiting the red
light district. At nearly every street
corner, in alleys and in doorways, could
be seen beautifully gowned girls and
women drunk and deathly sick, the
sport of hoodlums and recruiting agents
for resorts in the underworld. Many
of them will never see their homes
again.
In the best hotels the scenes were
such as can be witnessed only on an
occasion like this, when all bars to de-
cency and morals are let down, and the
widest license granted any one who will
pay the price of table and unlimited
drinks.
Disgusting scenes were witnessed on
the street cars, where hoodlums who do
not dare appear in public at any other
time took possession and made life mis-
cradle for other occupants.
For the citizens who eat regularly,
drink moderately, or not at all, and who
own their own clothing, the occasion
was disgusting in the extreme.

THE EDITORS SNAP
From One Publication Day to Another,
a Dream

a Dream
Every once in while some cheerful
individual remarks to us: "Well, now
that the paper is out, suppose you
can take it easy for three or four
days" Yes, how delightful it is that
country editor has nothing to do be-
tween press days. Business runs along
automatically. When paper bills come
due money drops off the trees with
which to pay them. Subscribers vie
with each other to see who can pay the
farthest in advance. Advertisers beg
for additional space. And the way
the news hunts up the editor is also
pleasant to contemplate. There is
something really strange about the way
the news items act. When the paper
is out the editor simply goes to his
desk and leans back in his easy chair
and looks wise and waits for next
week s press day. The day before press
day the people line up in front of the
office door and then they file past the
desk and tell him all the news of the
week. He writes it up in fifteen or
twenty minutes, takes it back and
hangs it ON the hook. The compositors
take the copy and shake it over the
type cases, say a few mystic words, the
type flies into place, and after few
passes by the foreman the forms are
ready for the press again. And the
editor goes down and deposits some
more money in the bank. 1t is the
greatest snap in the catalog. Now if
the editor could only do away with
press day his job would be complete.
