SNOW HILL. MD, JAN. IA.
Turning to Democracy.

The entire country is turning
to the Democracy. The Nation
al House of Representatives is
not only Democratic by a large
majority, but the Democrats of
the House are far more able
men than the Republicans. The
u. s. Senate is now so nearly
Democratic that the small Re-
publican majority of s is trem-
bling in its boots. Wise men of
both parties cannot see any
thing less than the election of
a Democratic President next
year. Mr.. Taft and his poll
cies have been repudiated by
the people already. Theodore
Roosevelt is a dead duck. The
American people have passed
through the cowboy era and
have forever placed that kind
of sensationalism behind them.
"Safe and sane" is now the
word. The people turn to the
Democracy to relieve them
from the oppression of the
Trusts and the Trusts them
selves have been bled so freely
by the Republican spoilsmen
that they even welcome the
coming change.
Local conditions in the coun-
ties of Maryland will play no
important part in the campaign
of next year when Maryland
will give 10000 plurality for
Harmon or Wilson or some
other good, old-fashioned Dem
crat. No, the people will bury
their differences to gain that
end so much desired-a govern
ment for the people, by the
people. The people of Mary
land are tired of the Republi-
can party with its negro police
men in Washington with its
negro office-holders placed on
perfect equality with white
men and white women in
Washington, and they are go.
ing to help with all their might
to throw out the whole bunch.
The Republicans are so scar
ed that they are talking about
putting all the postmasters
under civil service so that they
can keep their jobs when the
cyclone strikes.

The jackson Day Dinner,

Maryland Democrats are look
ing forward with great expec-
tations to the celebration next
Tuesday night of Jackson Day
at the Fifth Regiment Armory,
Baltimore. Great Democrats
such as Hartman, of Ohio; Clark,
of Missouri; Foss, of Massachu-
sets, and others whose names
are familiar in every home and
place of business in the land
will be there to proclaim the
old-time faith. Quite a number
of Worcester Democrats have
sent in their subscriptions of
SO each and will attend the
banquet. OF course the East
ern Shore will be there in force.
You can trust an Eastern Shore
man to be where there is orato-
ry and eating, and surely so,
when he is told that canvas
back ducks, diamond-back ter
rapin and all the etceteras will
be so abundant that no one will
go away unsatisfied.
Plans for decorating the Ly-
ric, at which the massmeeting
in connection with the Demo-
cratic celebration will be held
were made by Gen. Murray
Vandiver, assisted by Police
Justice James w. Lewis.
Stretched above the stage will
be a large banner bearing the
old Democratic emblem of Jack
son, the hickory tree and the
harp. Potted plants and cut
flowers will add to the stage
decorations. The boxes will be
profusely decorated with Amer
lean and Maryland flags and
banners. and hanging about the
gallery will be large emblems
of red, white and blue bearing
the names of different States.

The 10Th of January will be a
notable day in Washington. 1t
will be the day for the meeting
of the National Board of Trade,
whose membership represents
business organizations in all the
cities of the United States, the
day Congress votes on the Pan
anna exposition question, and the
date of the caucus of the House
Democrats of the Sixty-second
Congress. 1t is the common
understanding among the DEM
ocrats that the first thing to be
done will be the election of the
Democratic or majority contin-
gent of IL members of the ways
and means committee,th early
action being taken in order that
the committee may get to work
on the Democratic tariff bill.

The Sunday Sun.

Last Monday we received the
second issue of the newly ar
ranged Sunday Sun, and it was
a corker. 1t is decidedly the
best newspaper we know of any
where. 1t is not only full of
Maryland local and social news,
but its human interest stories
are more than entertaining.
The magazine supplement is
fine. Whoever misses the Sun

HERE'S A GOOD FARMER.
Amite County Furnishes Prize Winner
of the State,

Amite County Furnishes Prize Winner
of the State.
The man who won the prize at the
State Fair just closed for the best ex-
hibit of products off one farm was F.
M. Berryhill, a progressive and intelli-
gent farmer of Amite county.
Mr.. Berryhill exhibited at the Mis-
sippi-Alsbama fair at Meridian, and won
In cash there $161; a $25 cooking stove
and $50 trunk, q half barrel of -four and
800 pounds Of commercial fertilizer.
At Jackson, for the best display of
agricultural products grown on a single
farm he was awarded $3.50; best exhibit
of fsedstufrs, s25; best exhibit Of field
peas, $40; best FIVE stalks short staple
cotton, S.; best pound short staple cot
ton, 81; best half gallon cane syrup, 81.
Mr.. Berryhill is a fine type of the
farmer who diversifies, makes most of
his living at home, and always has some
thing to sell instead of always being a
buyer. He has come out finely in q
financial way on his efforts, and he has
done a great deal more, in showing what
car be accomplished in Mississippi with
brains, plus energy and determination.
Mr.. Berryhill is prosperous, as a matter
of course.

SPECIAL CARE AND FEED FOR CALVES.

Calves are fed new milk until four
weeks old II to be sold for veal. Those
reared for use In the dairy are fed new
milk for a week or more, and then
gradually changed to skinned or to
separator milk, never feeding quite
as much as the calf can drink. About
one pint Of fresh buttermilk should
be added to the separator milk for
each calf. At four weeks a little fax
seed meal should be given with the
milk and a handful Of shorts after.

WHAT ONE YAzOO BOY MADE
CLEANED UP 94S4.0O ON ONE ACRE
OF CORN, THAT is ALL.
Yazoo County Chap Makes a Record In
the Way of Realizing From
His Efforts.

Jackson.-As indicating the money
there 10 in it for the corr club boys
when they 60 after the proposition in
dead earnest, may be cited the case OF
Master Ky P. Ewing, of the Vaughn's
neighborhood, in Yazoo county.
This chap is only IS years of age, but
he has cleaned up $4,000 and better
from his acre of corn this year, and the
list of his winnings makes inspiring
reading for all the orr club boys and
the grown up boys, too.
In the first place, Master Ewing raised
1877 bushels of corn on his acre. He
won first prize for Yazoo county over
a number of competitors and received
$500 in money. At the State Fair
the Yazoo County Corn Club exhibit
won first prize for the best general ex-
hibit, and was awarded the Odds Gasoline
farm engine, worth $95, and Master
Ewing was decided to be entitled to that
also as winner of the first prize of the
prize county.
Then Master Ewing's father sold for
him that 1877 bushels to an e%nterprising
planter of Montgomery county who want
ed to get some high bred seed corn, and
paid $1.75 per bushel for it; that made
$275.75.
Now in addition to that, Master Ew-
ing is entitled to the registered boar pig
which the Illinois Central Railroad Of
fered to the winner of the corn club con-
test in each county, the hog to be select
ed from any farm in the country and of
any breed adapted to Mississippi, the
idea being to disseminate blooded and
better hogs all over the state. That hog
is at least worth $4,000. So it will be
seen that Master Ky P. Ewing of
Vaughns has cleaned up just $454.OO on
enc acre of corn, to say nothing Of what
his record and work is worth to the other
boys of the state, and as a demonstra-
ton of what Mississippi land can do in
the way of raising corn.

DISCUSS BOIL wEEVIL.
Mass Meeting Of Farmers and Merchants
of Scott County Held.

Forest.-There was a largely attended
mass meeting of farmers and merchants
of Scott county here for the purpose Of
discussing the boil weevil situation, to
devise ways and means to fight him and
to consider the matter of diversifying
crops for the coming year.
Prof. Lloyd of A. & M. College spoke
on Investigation. Prof. Fox and DR..
Lewis delivered addresses on the raising
and marketing Of live stock, and DR..
McIlhenny of Forest discussed the max
ing and marketing of cane syrup.
Altogether the meeting was quite a
success, and there was considerable en-
thusiasm manifested by those present.
Although the boil weevil has cut the
crop more than half in this county this
year, the farmers are not panic-stricken,
nor have they given up hope of raising
some cotton in spite of the weevil, and
1t is the opinion of most of those talked
to today that with diversifcation and ro
tation of crops, in a few years the coun-
ty will be more prosperous than ever be-
fore.

NEGRO LYNcHED.
Vengeance Taken for Beating Up a
White Man.

Meridian.-The little town of Lock-
hart, twelve miles north OF this city, is
in a feverish state of excitement as a re-
suit of a lynching that took place there.
A negro was the victim. He had severely
beaten Howard Covington. one of the
most prominent young men of the town,
breaking his right arm and inflicting Sc
we're wounds about his head, while the
young man was collecting a debt from
"A relative of the negro. The negro'p
name was Judge Mosely, Covington, not
being able to appear in magistrates
court, the negro was started to Me-
ridian to the county Jail, where he was
to be placed until the wounded man
should be able to appear in court.
When Constable Will Brown had
driven about two miles from the town,
he was called upon to halt by sixty
masked men. They took the negro from
the buggy, led him to a nearby tree,
where he was strung up. After break
ing his neck they riddled his body with
bullets.

adding thereto quantities Of b~arnyard
manure or other strongly nitrogen
Gus fertilizers.
Planting seaso may begin with the
first good fall rains and continue un-
til March 15, or 80 long as the soil
remains cool and moist. While sue
cessful paintings are sometimes made
during mldwinter there is danger on
clay soils Of the plants being lifted
out Of the ground by repeated freez-
ing and thawing. 1t is better to plant
before the sever winter freezes or
as soon as possible after winter
weather is past. Successful paintings
are sometimes made during midsum-
mer by taking advantage Of a rainy
spell of weather and shifting plants,
with soil adhering to the roots, to
nicely prepared soil nea by. In the
gulf region planting is frequently
done during the late summer and
early fall. Plants set at any time,
when the weather Is favorable, from
July to December, should produce a
fair crop OF fruit the following spring.
Before planting the soil should be
thoroughly broken and pulverized to
a good depth. The rows should be
slightly elevated, If the hill method
of growing Is adopted, as is the Gus
tom In South Mississippi, three feet
between rows Is about right. II the
matted row is used. three and one
half to four feet between rows is
better. With summer and fall plant
ings, which are expected to bear
fruit the following spring, plants
should be set not more than twelve
inches apart in the row. Varieties
like Excelsior, Lady Thompson and
Klondike. which make many runners
(new plants). need not be set closer
than thirty inches apart in making
spring paintings, Stooling kinds like
Nick dinner and Candy should stand
eighteen to twenty-four inches apart
in the row.
At no time between the taking up
and the resetting Of plants should the
roots be exposed to sunshine or
wind. II dry weather prevails, mud.

the cold weather approaches, the idea
always being that calves should be
steadily grown and not fattened. and
should never have a setback. During
the first year or two calves receive
o special care and are fed care
fully and watched closely, so as to
keep them continually growing. AL
lowing them to stop growing and get
poor during this time VIA result in
permanent injury to their usefulness.

summons by publication was made for
him in a paper published at Fayette.
Seeing no reason why the case should
not have gone to a conclusion and the
divorce granted, he did not take the
trouble to inquire, and married his pres
ent wife, Hester Ennis.
He claims that there was no criminal
intent in his action; he, in good faith,

BIGAMIsT PETITIONS FOR PARDON.

behalf of Charles Ennis, who was con-

Jefferson county; that he was a non
