THE SOUTH'S NEW ROLE OF
VOTE SELLER.

Reports from Bristol, Va, arc to the
effect that there is q likelihood that
the hundreds of good citizens" who
have been engaged in selling their
suffrage will escape prosecution and
punishment through legal tech
rnicality.
1t seems that the evidence on which
the cases could be based was obtained
entirely from the testimony to the
grand jury given by the men who paid
the bribes. This testimony was given
under promise of immunity from
prosecution which the court now init.
mates is unwarranted by any statute.
As result it may be that the bribe-
givers may be released from the neces-
sity of testifying, and thus the bribe.
takers go free.
We take it that the country in gen.
eral was shocked when it was learned
that Lee county, in Virginia, had come
into rivalry for the notorious honors
hithertQ held by Adams county, Ohio.
Wholesale vote buying, however the
practice may have thriven in the
cities and in other rural communities
in New England and elsewhere, had
been supposed to be vice to which
the South did not own. Intimidation
of the electorate had been justified on
the grounds of stern necessity for
good local government, even, when it
invited the stern remedy of "force
bill" Lynching and race riots have
been justified as far as possible on
similar arguments. But it had been
supposed that the merely venal phase
of politics, as the prevalence of graft
in local government, was thing un-
known south of Mason and Dixon's.
The South has Dragged of this, and
rightly. The case Of Lee county proved
humiliating exception to q general
rule of a peculiar sort of sectional
decency.
For these reasons, especially, it 10
to be hoped that the judge in the Lee
county cases is wrong. We believe
that from such an opinion there lies
an appeal on the part of the State to
the higher courts, and If this be so it
will probably be found that there is a
method by which the evidence of a cor.
ruption that is notorious and admitted
may be gotten before jury. The spec
tacle of hundreds of Adams county
farmers, merchants, deacons, and psalm
singers all disfranchised for chaffering
in votes was an undeniable aid in the
nation at large toward purity in the
ballot. A similar spectacle in Lee
county, Virginia, would be even more
edifying. 1t is to be hoped that q
State famous for its regard for its
honor will spare no effort to purge its
shame, so far as possible, by its
chastisement.

Heated Waters Have Been Known Tor
Their Medicinal and Curative

Candelaria Mex One OF the. most
remarkable groups OF hot springs In
the world is situated on the MeNi-
can side OF the Rio Grande near here.
There are scores OF these bub-
bling streams OF water flowing
from the rock formation and
into gulch that empties into
the Rio Grande The waters of these
springs have been known for their
medicinal and curative properties
from the time OF the first exploration
and settlement OF Mexico. Thousands
Of afflicted people have made pilgrim
ages to this remote region'and sought
the benefits of the thermal springs.
Notwithstanding the fact that they are
situated in an almost inaccessible To-
cality and can only be reached by an
overland journey Of more than 90
miles from the nearest railroad point
there is never time that health
seekers may not be found camping at
the place.
There are no accommodations at
the springs for visitors and many are
the primitive and crude devices that
are rugged up TO obtain the benefit OF
the waters Frequently visitors con
struct crude adobe rooms over one
OF the springs and use them for sweat

PROFIT IN SHEEP
Feeder Sheep and lambs Are
Now Cheap.
GOOD MONEY II PROSPECT
A self-Evidsnt Proposition.

Good growing stock Of any kind that
is selling below the cost OF production
IS always a safe investment, IL the
purchaser is prepared TO take good
care Of it.
He who buys and develops such
stock IS almost certain 10 make q
good profit in doing so. because pro
duction will not long continue al
loss. while consumption OF staples
must 20 on steadily.
Not macy others are buying such
stock. or else II would not be selling
SO cheaply. and II follows logically
and consistently that when it has
been grown and finished for market.
there will then be q comparative
scarcity Of such finished stock and
such good prices viii be realized for II
that a handsome profit Will result from
the deal
This reasoning IS self-evident. and
applies with especial emphasis 10 the
present situation IN feeder sheep and
lambs.
Last years conditions are now re-
versed- Then nearly everybody was
crazy 20 feed sheep and lambs. and
an immense number were sold and
shipped TO tho country at about the
highest prices on record. This to-
gether with an enormous corn crop
OF high feeding value. a world OF
perfectly cured roughage and a splen-
did winter feeding season we're fac
heavy
supply OF fat sheep and lambs for
market during the early part OF this
year. while retailers OF meats held
up prices to consumers, so that con-
sumption was limited, with the nat
ural and logical result OF low prices
and feeders losses in most instances
In consequence of last years IN
profitable experience and present
scarcity Of grass and hay. most farm
ers and many professional feeders OF
sheep and lambs are now avoiding the
market, and very few are being ship
ped TO the country. while prices are
the lowest since 1904. IN fact. feed
er sheep and lambs are selling on the
market today for less than the cost OF
production.
These facts mean that early next
year there viii be o scarcity OF fat
sheep and lambs at market. and COM
paratively high prices will prevail
Those who have the nerve TO go con-
trary 70 the crowd and invest IN good.
thin but thrifty feeder sheep and
lambs at the present low price. VIII
have no cause 10 regret their enterpris-
ing independence when they come TO
market them in finished condition.
The concensus of opinion OF the
best minds in the trade is that since
both prices for feeding stock and pros
poets for fat stock are much better
than they were last year. therefore the
opportunities for profit are CORE
spondingly better. In fact. the whole
situation is the reverse OF last year
Now is the time to buy. because
range conditions are such that mos
OF the sheep and lambs will come &C
market from the range regions ready
for slaughter. while fewer Of the feed
er classes will be marketed during thu
remainder OF this year. and the suppl.
will not equal the probable Fall de
nand. so that prices are likely to b
materially higher in October and Nc
vember.
