Oratory in the Campaign.

IF Congress remains in session until
late, and particularly If it does not put
a space between the long and the short
sessions, orators out of Office will be in
great request this year. Those in leg
islativc places will be on duty in this
town. In both House and Senate are
some very effective campaigners. They
have been entertaining crowds for
years, and are proficient in all the
arts Of the stump. They will be
missed.
Campaigning, it is true, has taken
on some new features of late. The
"movies" have been pressed into serv-
ice. Plays have been written around
the suffrage question. Years ago plays
were presented, and with considerable
effect, dealing with the drink evil. For
awhile, "Ten Nights in Barroom" ran
q close second in drawing power to
"Uncle Toms Cabin"
Still, the stumper continues his
rounds, and is everywhere welcome.
Ii he turns his trick well-draws and
holds people in numbers-catehes their
faney-makes them responsive to his
appeals, he is beloved of his party's
managers. They send him on the most
important missicns-into close states
and districts, and thus put him On his
mettle. He is busy man, from the
beginning of a campaign even unto
the ending of the same. His name is
great among the brethren.
The foremost stumpers out of Office
are Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr. Bryan. The
former is not in his old time keller.
On his latest tour in the near west and
the middle country he had to husband
his physical resources. Receptions and
dinners had TO be "cut out" of pro-
grams. He made the promised speech
es, but had TO strength to spare.
Mr.. Bryan, however, is still in undi-
minished voice and strength and vim.
~ little rounder of figure and more de-
iberate of movement than in the days
when he first kindled the country with
his platform deliverances, he yet casts
his spell in much the old way, and
holds his hearers with much of mis- old
success.
1t has been twenty-five years, by the
way, since the Orator Of the Platte
"arrived." Is it not about time for
a new star to appear in the oratorical
iirmament7 The new issues and con
Iitions should produce one, and may
produce several

Attention OF Tobacco Raisers.

hearted and disappointed because YOU
could not make p. cent average on
your dark or 30.cent average on your
hurley. The conditions that confront
the Tobacco Market;are such that has
never existed in the history of the to-
bacco trade.
There has never befOJe been an en-
barge on shipping tobacco from local
districts, thereby causing a slump in
prices. Not only has the price been
effected by the uncertainty of trans
pOrtation, both local and foreign, but
by the care or condition of the tobacco
as iG Is brought to the market and Of
Tered for sale. We ask the grower this
question. What can the buyer do
with wet tobacco when they can't ship
to their manufacturer or a redryer,
although he is forced to buy il at a
reduced price?
Bring your tobacco to our market
in good keeping condition. See that
the stem will crack at least a third of
the way of the hand. Grade it care
fully at home and bring it to US and
see for yourself. You will coincide
with US in that, we hold the top aver
ages. Our sales are publicly posted
and we do not advertise any false re-
ports in order to get little commits
sion. Those of you who expect to sell,
watch the condition and bring your
tobacco to US. We will open now in
full blast if the weather permits and
will handle the remainder Of the crop
to your best advantage.
On account Of the order from the
Fuel Commission, our sale will be dis
continued on Mondays, only. Our
sales will continue all other days as
usual.

Flood Items.

Mr.. J. T. Goodman, who lives at
Rowena, gives US the following, over
the phone, of the doings of Cumber-
land river. "The river at this point
is higher than it has been for sixty
years, and untold damage is being
done A great deal of corn went with
the tide, a commodiouS barn, which
was owned by Hiram Ballou, was
completely washed away, more logs
went down the stream than ever be-
fore known, and my information is
that Burnside is almost destroyed. 1t
is distressing all along the river and
many farmers have lost heavily. 1t
will take many weeks for land owners
TO get their farms in shape In Row.
ena the water Is in the stores, and it
is over the benches in the church
building"
Baker & Morrison of this place, who
operate a saw and stave mill, on Cum
berland river sustained a considerable
loss by flood last week. A large lot of
lumber and other material were wash
ed from the mill yard. Mr.. Baker in
forms US that he can not tell at this
time the extent of the firms damage,
but it is considerable. We hope it is
not az much as were first reported
one thousand dollars
There was evidently, from reports
from Burkesville, distressing times
there last week. Mr.. r. X. Young
was notified that forty families had
to leave their residences, and that
the waters were over the counters in
some of the stores. The river he
was told, was eight feet higher than
ever before known.
Green river and Russell's creek were
both high, but the food of waters did
not swell the streams any higher than
you often see. The greatest damage
on the creek as far as we know was
the washing out the dam at Smiths
mill
We learn from Mr.. Geo Akin who
lives at Sparksville, that the river at
Burkesville was higher than ever be-
fore known. The water was all round
the courthouse.
News reaches US that Mr.. Cyrus
Campbell, who lives on Cumberland
river, lost one hundred barrels of corn
by the rise.
