Good Price For Clover Seed.

The rise in the price of clover seed,
due to the European war, is having its
advantages as we'll as disadvantages.
Mr.. John Cavett was in town Thursday
and showed us a bill of lading where he
had just shippedS1. 900 worth of melli-
lotus (sweet %cIover) seed to a point in
Texas. Mr.. Nelson Stevens, we under
stand. will ship $500 worth today.
Mr.. Cavett says his seed Melted him
$40 per acre besides getting a cutting
of hay.
And according to Prof. Hopkins, a
noted soil expert, an acre Of mellilotus
is equal to 30 loads of stable manures.as
fertilizer.
Mr.. Ormsby, who cut his hay with
a binder, running it through a thresh-
ing machine just as he would oats, with
a huller attached. thereby cleaning his
seed. recently sold four bushels for $50.

Pork Barrel Legislation."

The following is clipped from al
article by ''Savoyard, whose real
name is Newman. He used to
live in Macon and was editor OF
the Mississippi Sun, published by
a Mr.. Smith. Now he is a famous
journalist, especially noted for his
wide range of information and his
scholarship. Incidentally. he be
lieyes and maintains that John
is one of thesound,
est and greatest statesmen this
country has ever produced:
Down in the prairie region of Missis-
sippi, where dwell a white population
fully equal to the finest citizenship the
planet car boast, courses the silvery
Noxubee river. 1t was in the district
of the late fernando DeSoto Money.
He secured three several appropriations
in the river and harbor bill to improve
the stream. By and by boat cameup
and anchored at the wharf at Macon.
1t took on 500 bales of cotton at 81 a
bale freight and delivered the cargo to
Mobile. Heretofore the railroad charg-
ed that community SIS a bale for the
same service. The road came down in
its freight rate to meet the river COM
petition and got the business. but as
Noxubee raised %. 200 bales of cotton
a year, perhaps 40 $1,000 now, who will
say that $50, 900 secured by Mr.. Money
was ill-spent? Ofcourse there has been
nc tonnage on the silvery Noxubee, but
it is there, a threat that THE Mobile &
Ohio railroad respects.
This is only one case of numerous ones
and it is false reasoning to point to pow
ertv of tonnage Of river craft if the i'm
provement of the stream has made the
railroads behave and put up with a rea-
senable profit.

Cotton is the backbone of the
South's prosperity, and every
business man, laboring man, every
man no matter in what business
or employment, is interested in
the prosperity of the farmer. =
Montgomery Journal. Yes; but
the farmer who stakes his all on
cotton finds it a weak backbone
to lean on when a war comes
that stops the demand to the ex-
tent of four to five million bales.
