S. CANDLER, Jr. The iron region around Birm ingham is in the midst of a big strike which is on because of the failure of the unions and oper ators of the large plants to agree on prices. Rioting has taken place and the officials have found it necessary to call out the state troops. Mr. Gompers, the head of the federation of labor nnions has de clared his intention to support Mr. Bryan and will take the stump in favor of the democratic ticket. It is up to the working men to show whether they have the manhood to exerise their in alienable rights to vote as free men. Mr. Gompers can only ad vise; it is left to every individual voter to say for which party his ticket is cast One of our exchanges calls at tention to the fact that Moses was the first journalist because he wrote on the tables of stone, but Noah went him one better than this. He advertised. Noah built the ark and announced the day of sailing. He whooped things up lively and made a grand display. The non-believ ers scoffed at him and perished in the wet water. This again shows that the man who adver tises will win out. You can’t keep a good man down especially one who advertises. --Chipley Verdict. We have just received from Hon. James T. Loyd, chairman of the democratic congressional committee at Washington, a copy of “Republican Extravagance’’ the hand book which wiil be used \ to expose the extravagance of the republican party during the coming compaign. The commit tee will send this book to anyone for twenty-five cents and as it sale is for the purpose of raising funds to defray the expenses of the campaign, every democrat should send in the amount with out delay. Federal Judge Kohlsaat, sit ting at Chicago, declared illegal all contracts between newspa pers and railroads where by the roads exchange transportation for mileage. This decision was rendered in a test case in which the Monon railroad sought to test the Hepburn act. The case in point only decided the ques tion of interstate transportation, aud will not affect the right of the railroads and newspapers to exchange mileage for advertising in states where there is no law against it. In a message to congress in the early part of last session President Roosevelt said: “In stances of abuse in the granting of injunctions in labor disputes eontinue to occur.” Yet, at the Chicago convention there was an overwhelming vote in opposi tion to putting a plank in the platform doing away with the evil features of Injunctions. Mr. Taft will hardly follow the pres ident in his speech of acceptance in calling attention to the fact that these abuses occur. Mr. Taft is on record as a federal judge on “injunctions” and will have to stand or fall by his ju dicial holdings when it comes to the test.

Jno. Silas Thompson. Late Cultivation of Cotton. This is a very important time in the cultivation of cotton. With occasional showers and rains, giving plenty of moisture for the growing crop, will cause some neglect breaking the crust thus forming a dust mulch. The cultivation should be shallow and nearly on a level,keeping a loose blanket of fine earth all over the surface. This will prevent the too rapid evaporation of mois ture and will allow an easy pas sage of air through the soil which aids in the liberation of plant food. By going shallow, fewer roots are broken and the plant is kept growing. If deep cultivation is practiced, the plant is checked in its growth bv hav ing a great many of its roots bro ken, thus cutting off its supply of plant food. It then becomes for the plant to throw off a por tion of its fruit, because the roots being cut off, and conse quently the supply of plant food is cut off, as well, the root sys tem not being sufficient to sup port so heavy a crop. Neglect in the cultivation will cause to shed. If the crust be not broken, the soil dries out rapidly, the air is excluded, and again the supply of plant food is not sufficient, because there is not enough moisture to supply it I would, therefore, urge late cultivation, going about an inch and a half deep with either a heel sweep or a light “V” harrow with a dust board attached to the back of it. If the cotton were cultivated in the above mention ed manner, the yield per acre would be greatly increased. H. D. TATE. Push. An exchange suggests that if there were more push in the world there would be fewer hun gry, half clothed, homeless, suf fering children; fewer broken down, dissipated men and women less need of alms houses, houses of correction and homes for the friendless. Push means a lift for a neighbor in tronble. Push means a Hft for yourself out of the slough of despondency and shiftlessness, out of trouble, real fancied. Push never hurts any body. The harder the push the better, if it is given in the right direction. Always push up hill few people need a push down hill. Don’t be afraid of your muscles and sinews; they were given to use. Don’t be afraid of your hands; they were meant for ser vice. Don’t be afraid of what your companion may say. Don’t be afraid of your conscience; it will never reproach you for a good deed—but pnsh with all your heart, might and soul, Whenever you see anything or anybody that will be better for a long time, strong, determined push. t4- ,~i- *■ u ^ X 1X011 • XV 10 JVXOV vuv word for the grand clear morn ing of life; it is just the word for the word that is full of work as this is. If anv body is in trouble and you see it, don’t stand back, push! If there is anything good being done in any place where you hap pen to be, push! Resolutions of Sherman Normal.
