coLoUITT AND THE NEGRO VOTE.

Judge Ramsey is going about the
country telling the people he is the
white mans hope" Also that Col
quit and his friends will have the
negroes of South Texas vote in the
primaries. Judge Ramsey knows the
negroes do not vote In the primaries,
that they are not going to vote this
year, and he knew it when he was
throwing his firebrands. He did it
not to keep the negroes from voting,
not to purify the ballot, not for the
good of Texas, but simply to create
prejudice and foment hate and strife.
1t was purely an effort to array the
people against Colquitt by stirring up
race prejudice, the most dangerous,
the most devilish, the most diabolical,
the most damnable agency ever used
by man either in politics or any other
cause. Going about the country try
ing to inflame the passions of men,
arraying race against race, reckless
of the terrible consequences. Reck-
less of the midnight torch and the
knife, needless of trembling women
and children, caring naught for the
fury of hell that might break loose,
just so it made him votes.

CAUSE OF TYPHOID.

Interstate waters are the source of
water supply for many millions of
American people, and the number is
constantly growing. Sanitary condi-
lions in the drainage area of the
Great Lakes, the Missouri, the Mig
sissippi, the Ohio and other great
American rivers are becoming most
important because of the increased
demands made on these waters as
source Of public water supply. With
the increase in population. there lis
an increase in the sewage pollution
of these waters, as 1t has been a com.
mon American custom for cities to
empty their sewage into lakes or riy-
ers, on account of the low cost Of this
method of disposal Until recently.

the scientific farmer. To change this
condition became the professors am
bition. His thinking on the subject
evolved big ideas, which resulted in
the establishment of the farmers,

county poor farm, the state corn
show, and finally the national Corn
exposition. These have made it Dos

him.
Professor Holden is an enthusiast
whose enthusiasm is contagious. His
convictions are deep-seated and any
thing he believes in he can make 9TH
ers see as he does. For this reason
he was able to go to presidents of rail-
roads and convince them that it was
to their interest to run special seed
corn trains and pay all the expenses.
These special trains would have
been failures II Professor Holden had
not known how to tell what he knew.
He did most Of the speaking, until
his assistants had learned how to
talk to farmers in their own language.
Farmers will accept scientific facts
from Professor Holden as readily ana
gladly as children will take sugar.
coated pills.
Part of his success is due to the
fact that he exploits only one idea at
time. When he went out on his
first seed-corn train his slogan was
TEST your seed corn" saying nothing
about the preparation OF the soil,
tilization, or cultivation. He asked
the farmer to study his own cornfield
and he would discover that about one
fourth of the stalks were 'loafing
around all summer, doing nothing"
Ihls was due to poor termination Of
the seed, and the latter required as
much cultivation and care as the
thrifty stalk. The effectiveness OF
this sort of teaching is shown in the
increase OF an average of $4,000, 900
bushels annually In Iowa, since Pro-
lessor Holden began his work in that

QUINCY'S PLAN TO
RAISE $3.50, 900
How the Gem City Proposes to Meet
the Requirements Imposed by
Mr.. Barnes.

The Quincy Journal in an editorial
appearing in last evenings issue, dis
|cusses the cotton mill proposition
from a financial standpoint and eluci-
dates just how Quincy intends to pro-
coed IN meeting the requirements i'm
rosed by Mr.. Barnes, which are nee
essary to secure the cotton mill fac
tory which contemplated locating in
this city. The Journal says:
Mr.. Barnes has informed our Cham
her of Commerce that he and his
friends have decided in favor OF Quin-
|cy rather than Keokuk, for the loca-
ton OF their 100000 cotton mill,
which, it is said, will employ, when
in full operation, from seven to eight
hundred hands. Mr.. Barnes wishes
to raise $3.50, 1000 in the east. and $780,
600 from the place where the cotton
mill is located land he evidently
thinks that Quincy is the better
money prospect OF the two; and in
this he is surely right We can raise
ten dollars here for an enterprise OF
that sort, where Keokuk can't raise
one.
Mr.. Barnes has chosen wisely. He
should not have any trouble to raise
s250,000 in Quincy, for FIVE hundred
thousand dollar cotton mill The To-
cal banks, that are congested with
surplus money, win doubtless be
willing to subscribe this amount.
Two plans are proposed for raising
this $4,000.
One is to have our people subscribe
s250.000 to this new industrial enter
prise; and the other is to have Mr..
Barnes raise $250,000 In the east,
take all the stock Of the Industrial ell
terprise, bond the enterprise for $780,
900, and turn the bonds over to us
to place. Then we will take the bonds
and go to the men who deal in indus
trial bonds and get them to place them
for US. These industrial bond dealers
will know what the bonds are worth
and where to place them. These
bond dealers will, Of course, want a
commission OF three or four per cent
for the placing OF these bonds, and
this commission, which at four per
cent, would amount to $4,000, we
would pay out of our Industrial fund.
II Mr.. Barnes should meet with any
trouble in raising $250,O0O here, which
Us not anticipated, he might try the
second plan, here proposed.
/ 1t is proposed to send committee
of two men down east to interview
Mr.. Barnes and his friends, and to
examine their financial standing. Har-
vey Riggs and John Henry Bastert
are the two men who will probably go
to make this investigation, and two
better men could not be wished for.
