It is always a good idea to recog nize the strength of your enemy. : It is pretty hard to get people in terested in what you used to be. . When you take a man's content ment away Irom him you can't add it to your own. If we talk without weighing our words, they will soon have no weight for good. You can guage a man's character The friends of good roads through out the country have taken heart at the recent declarations of the head of the Department of Agriculture that one of his chief efforts will he to ef fect a betterment of the highways of America. Fruits of. this announce ment seem to be springing up in all sections. Already there is a revival of the agitation for broad tires, which, it is asserted by those who have studied the matter, will materially aid in the reclamation of the roads from their dreadful condition California had .previously passed a law which will take effect January' 1, 1900. regulating the width of '-tires to be used on all vehicles," according to the size of the axles, and providing a heavy money penalty for infractions. Thus am pie time - is given by the statute for the farmers and others to have their tires changed. . It is demonstrated that whereas the narrow tires are road destroyers, cutting ruts into the best surfaces and breaking into the foundations, the broad tires are road makers, rolling the materials compactly and serving to preserve the highway. 'Thus the change from the small to the large size affects a double gain. It is a curious fact that country blacksmiths as a rule advise their patrons to stick to the V narrow tires, urging that the draft is lighter with them than with, the broader ones. This is untrue, as has been shown by actual experiments, except in certain infrequent conditions of the, road.. With good roads even these excep tions would be impossible. Iii the long run the broad tire will savje the stock of the fanner hundreds of thousands of pounds of hauling. " It would seem to be to the interest of the smith to fall in with the march of progress and advise the setting of broad tires, for that would brijig a great rush of business. The remedy appears to lie in the enactment of compulsory legislation such as that of . California, su;ple mented'by better road laws in al. the States. Meanwhile the. general .govern nent will probably go ahead on the('lines laidfdown by Secretary Wilson, dem onstrating practically to the farmers at the experiment stations that good roads mean better returns from : their efforts.

A gen eral strike of miners of the United Mine Workers of America has been ordered for July 4th by the national executive board. V The officers here say 875,000 men are involved as proposed strikers.

The coal miners of the Pittsburg district in delegated convention here to day de cided unanimously to comply with the order of the national executive board to strike, and all of the union miners in the district will lay down their tools to-morrow morning and enter upon a struggle for better wages which promises to be one of the lorigvi est and most bitterly contested figtis ever known irf the laboj world. , American Institute Farmer's Club A committee from this club report the vines of Alfred Speer, of Passiac, N.

Dr. Talmage expresses the follow ing opinion as to the value of a news paper to a town : . .. A newspaper whose columns over flow with advertisements of business men has more influence in attracting attention to and building up a city or town than any other agency that can be employed. People go where there is business. Capital and labor will locate where there is an enterpris ing community. No power on earth is so' strong to build up a town as a newspaper well patronized, and its power snouia De arpreuaicu. Tie fee-, siaile tigutora Of - is ea Trailer. Grapes for Coughs and for Singers. Auntie Rachae, a Holland nurse, has discovered a novel and effective way of using , grapes in combinatiou with Elecam pane, Root and 1 ore hound for the purpose Of curing coughs, colds and sore throat. It is called Aunt Rachael's Eclam pane and Horehound Cordial and itis said that physicians are recommending it free in the East. Singers and lecturers carry a bottle with them. "If we annex Hawaii," remarked the casual caller, "we acquire several islands, a debt of $4,000,000, two vol canos, and thousands of natives thrown in." "Well," replied the editor, ''if the natives are to be thrown into the vol canoes I'll withdraw my objection to annexation." Pittsburg Chroni c 1 e Telegraph. ' ; 7 t ' One of the surest preventives ot in jury to farm crops by insect enemies is provided in a systematic rotation of crops on the farm. Nature has her reasons for demanding a rotation of crops at the hands ot men who toil in her fields, and if they refuse to listen or, ignore her decree she pro One of the laws passed by the late Legislature that will work a hardship upon the people of moderate means, is the one that makes a property holder liable to a fine of $500, or im prisonment for not more than six months, for a failure to pay his or her taxes by the first Monday in Septem ber. No excuse is taken under the new law. The hard-working man who by reason of sickness or any oth er unfortunate circumstance, finds himself - unable to pay his taxes by the time set by law can be hauled up belore a judge and assessed a fine which it will take him a life time to pay or be sent to jail Such is the brutal harshness of this law passed by the "reformers." The new law. makes it a misde meanor punishable by a fine, not ex ceeding $500, or imprisonmentj rfbt exceeding six months, for any per son owning property or poll taxes not to pay the by first term of court held in the county each year after the first Monday in "September, and section 52 of the law makes it the duty of the sheriff to report all delinquent, tax payers to the judge at each criminal court to the end that he may submit the names ot such delinquents to the solicitor for indictment and prosecu- tion. And these delinquents are in dictable at each term of court until their taxes are paid. ; There is no disguising the fact that this law -will work a severe hardship upon the the great mass of .the peo ple. Taxes ought to be paid, and the previous law provided all the ne cessary means to enforce, their collec tion. It was sufficiently stringent, but the people were given a chance. This law that sends a poor man or widow to jail for a failure to pay taxes within a specified time in not a Dem ocratic hw. It is' one of the fruits of fusion and reform.

AndAvhy not, brother farmers ? Beyond doubt it is to our interest to have ev- -ery pound of cotton consumed that we possibly can even if we , are una ble to buy to satisfy our own needs. There is one thing we can do. We can wrap our growing crop of cotton in bagging made of cotton? and it will be , no experiment, either. It has ben tried and found to be a success. It will help to swallow up the great surplus caused from over production that the speculators claim. It will he' p to break down some trusts and monopolies that now feast at the ex-, pense of the cotton growers. It will help to weaken combined capital and bring us in closer touch ; wiiheach other. . ! As I said, it will be no experiment, but we all can put our shoulder to the wheel, knowing a success was made -ofjt before and will be again if tried. With cotton bagging we surely can be independent of jute trusts and high "tariff on jute bagging can not hurt us Mr. Editor, I do not want to claim any more space in your pa per at present, but hope what I have written will cause others to give their views and will cause other papers that possess a friendly feeling toward the cotton growers to speak out on this subject.
