Intelligonfr editor Said was bring-
ing tho farmer ono dollar abushel
at home. But lot that stand
and see how far off this four bill-
Ion statoniont is. In 1890 wheat
sold in August ut a dollar eight
thoutrn tho value of all tho farm
products in 1890 was less than
two and a half billions of dollars
and yet this brilliant editor puts
tho increased value of farm
products this year at four billions!
Truly ignorance or falsehood has
a strong clutch upon that editor
and the worst of it is ho is not
alone by several thousand
majority.

Edward Ingle in an article for
the Manufacturer's Record
speaking of the appointment of a
negro barber of unsavory reputa-
tion to the' position of collector of
internal revenue in Georgia and
another even worse appointment
in Louisiana says: .
"Whether to meet obligations
for a past nomination or to ar-
range the lines ior a subsequent
one the deliberate disregard of
public sentiment in Georgia and
of common decency in Louisiana
cannot be regarded in any light
but asa deliberate purpose to
restore the.-.' condition where
democracy meant white and re-
publicanism black and will be
felt equally in New York and
Massachusetts as in Maryland
and Louisiana. Its. effects will
be as far-reaching as ever;"
HOME.
Ab I nrilo this iTttlo word at
the top of the pnpO I think tf the
many ninny unfortuuato onos who
this night have no place that thqy
can call 'hnmo 1 think of the or-
phan boyB and girls who have nev-

reaved ones of earth in whose homes
death haB been u eilent destroyer.
Then I thiti.k of John Howard
Payne the man who wrote that
immortal Bong: "Home" Sweet
Home" that has thrilled bo many
thousand hearts. The man who
never had a home in this world can
not understand and appreciate the
full meaning of that) little word.
Oh your home may not be a pal-
ace.-it may be lacking in luxury
and not near Bo large or well fur-
nished as your neighhor'p but that-
should not matter. Let it be home
tn you and yours make it the dear-

money never yet made a bone.

making of a happy home but if

But should there be a rersis-

which is how pursued the South
in self defouse will again become
solid. That will of course re-
tard tho South but it will have a
more extensive effect. In spite

men who are able to read the

the conviction that the day is not

.From Baird.
Baird Texas Sept 29th. 97.;
Abilene Reporter:
Since last Tveeks correspond-
ence theweather has been warm
of days and coOl of nights at
Baird with nO rain.
COtton contiuues to. come into
Baird iroin the farms of the
omint.v nt an increased rate and
there are 30 bales on the street
at this writing.
On Monday evening at 8 oclock
at the Baptist church here Frank
Mayes led Miss Hattie Black to
the hymeneal alter in the pres
ence of their -many friends Both
were of Baird. Rev. Carter ofll
ciating.
TJi-yiyor of Baird. has ap-
ouWthe loliowmg iicieguies.
To1 day Pat Grady took his
gun and went man hunting. He
found his game all right and
snapped at him twice with his.
shot gun before tho gontloman
became aware of his. amiable in
tentions at which point in the
program G. B. Triplett Inter-
fered when Mr. Grady turned
his gun upon him and warned him
to keep hands off. At this junct-
ure Deputy Sheriff Echols came
alomr and arrested tho gunner
and took- him away. Ho readily
gave bond in tho sum of $150
from which wo judgo that the
casu is not a very serious one.
Family troubles is understood to
bo" the cause of the assault the
other party to it . beiugjt priost
whoso name wo can not recall
but who is. bore . to answor a
charge of sending objectionable
mutter through the mails said
charge being preforod by Mr.
Grady. Tho latter goutlonmn
has always borne a splendid rep-
utation and boiug woll known
herd 'husTmuiiy" 7frionds. Tho
priost is also said to havo stood
high.
Wo somotimos think that there
aro'moro downright moss cover-
ed ignorant men editing agricul-
tural papors In proportion to tho
wholo than in any othor occupa
tlan but oditors of political papors
somotimos shako our faith In that
proposition. Today wo picked
up an agricultural paper and
glanced at an article upon tho
prosperity of tho farmer and
found tho astounding statomont
that tho advanoo in prices of
farm products this year would
bring American farmers four
billions dollars mpro than- the
What this implios may bo' com-
prehended by reference to the
fact that the South which is free
from the foreign revolutionary
elements so potent in other sec-
tions' was most prompt in sus-
taining President ClevOlend at
the time of the Chicago 'trouble
of three years ago and viows
with alarm for the North the
spectacle of tho Pennsylvania
militia substituting almost every
vnnr imr.nnl sovvico in the field
for its annual encampment.
A South made solid by the sui-
cidal pressure of the dominant
party at present in tho North
could hardly be dopendod upon
in tho time of stress at the ballot-
box or othorwiso to save the
North which had permitted that
pressure.
Business interests will bo the
first to fool tho effects of a suc-
cess again of radicalism in tho
North. Business intorosts should
call a halt upon tho party which
owos its existancQ today Jo thoir
aid in tho time of extromity.
In briof tho dogonoratiug plan
now formed means tho subordi-
nation of tho intelligent work of
material advancement to tho
preservation of tho purity and
Intogrity of tho whito raco It
means a situation menacing alike
to tho North and to tho South in
which tho political excltomont
will bo maintained indefinitely
and tho tendency of conservative
Hum of till partios to unite for tb.Q
common good irrespective of
party Hues will bo suddenly
chocked.
No ono but an onomy of his
country could concolvo such a
plan or shouidor its responsibility"
