- Fine Speeches?Statements
? Of .Candidates Meets Approval.
The County Canvass is now ou in
tuil blast and will come to a close on
Saturday in Loutsburg when Hon.
#*. S. Sprnili will address tlje people
-of the county. Sinoe our last issue
. the candidates have tilleiT* sppo""ni'ents
in" Youngsville, Fianklinton,
Ilio esville, Sandv Creek, Gold Mine
and Cedar Rock townships. At each
of these places Wjgpting speakers were
present and made line speeches. EsDeciallv
so was the ones made bv
Hon. T. W. Bickeit at Franklinton
and Epsom, Hon. Walter Murphy at
Laurel and- Centreville and Hon.
Locke Craig at Stallings. The
* ????*paaahMeflt UktM 'br?e gytlyien
were full of dounmenta of Tsvidrnfce
that the hearers as jurors conld -not
hut take notioe. ' Although it will
be next Tuesday before they can
hand in their verdict it was "vefy
plain that these speeches had cansed
them to stop and think, after which
their decision caused them to "step
in line with all true Democrats.
The county candidates are meeting
with the approval of the entire
county. Their statements in regard
to th* manner in which the county's
- affairs have been applauded repeatedly
and they really make a-Wondnrful
showing.
The crowds at each of the places
the past week have been eacoeedingly
uood. And if the majority on
next-Tuesday is to be ju.iged by the
enthusiasm and attendance at the
epoakings the eleotiowwill almost be
unauiniously democratic. This is
the one time that it is necessary for
all good honest men to vote the
democratic ticket regardless of what
partv he belongs to, and also for
everv democrat to atttend the eltction
and cast his vote.
The candidates have hadj,t with
them this woek and whioh will coutinue
throughout the campaign, the
k-N. Rooky Mount Brass Band. They
have been making some fine music
and each speaking lifts been a regular
jubilee.

The One Profitable Way. ?
Theoretically it ispossible in eon:ral
farming to keep up the fertility
jf the soil indefinitely without keepng
any live stock. We believe it is
aoasible, tpo, to do it, in practice,
hough it must be admitted it has
aever yet been done on any large
irea. But such a system will invarably
entail a great ecnpomio l< ss.
N'o farmer ban afford, in oar opinrto,
:.o try to work out such a system or
,o give serious heed to those who
idvocate it, because it is the hard
tud the expeosive way. The live
dock raiser has too ruahy advantages
or the exclusive cropper to compete
with him. ? Haleigh (N. C.) Progreslive

A New Departure.
A new departars in the linp of

has just been made by The i

ias reduced its price by mail to $2.50 i
jsr year, payble in advance. Some i
tveeks ago this paper ran a special i
jargain price and the results were I
10 flattering that the management ]
iecided to give the people of the 1
date a daily newspaper for the price I
S'2 50 per year. The Times being a <
nodern leased wire telegraph paper i
here is ho reason why it should not
lave fifty thousand circulation with,
n a year at that price. J. V. Siinms, '
ditor and publisher of the paper,I
innounces at the same time thai j 1
iiany more improvements are to be ' 1
liado in the noar fntnre and the I i
eading public of the stale will get; <
i service in the Times that is une.v- j l
