The month of July juat passed into
history, was a month of stirring evenU
and the wrecks along the coasts are
many and monumental. The death of
the Pope stirred the whole religious
world and igave to the; press more col
umns of matter than perhaps any event
since the assassination of President
McKinley, or the demise of Queen
Victoria. But the religious world has
now about swung back to equilibrium
on the election of Pius X.
The world of finance waa hit hard by
the shrinkages in Wall street and the
bottom knocked out of digested and
semi-digested securities alke.
Brown,' of New Orleans, has put
many bears to flight and has both bulls
and bears a-guessiqg on' what will come
next. The poetoffice " department has
kept the public guessing as to who will
be next indicted and prosecuted for
rascally deeds. The political commo
tions have lifted and seated both Hands
and Odell in Roosevelt's band wagon,
and that fact fixes the nomination of
President Roosevelt for another term,
while Parker, of New York, has de
cided that he had rather be judge than
president. 7
It is all uncertainty and despair with
the democrats still. Mr. Bryan can't
and he has as good as said 'the other
fellow shan't. The Democrats with
Bryan as" rider, remind me of the old
negro who was riding an old mule,
lambasting him every other Btep and
the old mule going two miles an hour
and a fellow rode up by the old darky
and said, "Uncle, have you passed aj
man going up the road thiv morning
riding a gray horse?" The old negro
replied: "Now I tell,, you, boss, I sup
pose I meets as many folks as any man
on the road, but I ain't never passed
nothing yet." ' - ;
The Democrats are in good shape for
meeting folks, but they ain't passed
nothing for years. They better either
swap off the mule or get another rider.
I have seen only one Atlanta paper
in a week. That one gives an account
of some of the members of the lobby
ing committee refusing to serve:
Don't blame them. That committee
will be a useless expense. ' They know
there is no lobbying about the Georgia
legislature. Who ever heard of such a
thing? r That committee ought to all
resign and tell the speaker that it's a
slam on the house for such: a. com
mittee to have ever been thought of,
much less to force them to serve on it.
Speaker Morris ought to be a shamed
of himself to thus impeach the honor
of a house who has honored him so
much. The idea of lobbyists monkey
ing around' the Georgia legislature!

I have just returned from Mt. Lake
Park, Md., Chautauqua and constantly
I keep one eye on the crops. No
where have I seen in the great corn
belt a prospect of more than a per.
cent crop, many sections far belcw that7
The rains of the past few days have
been pretty general from Nebraska to
New York, but under best. conditions
the corn crop is one-third off in my
candid judgement. And all I have
said of the wheat crop is confirmed by
the broader observations of the past
three weeks. 60 cents corn, and dol
lar wheat is my guess. The j south
has by far the best of the northern and
western states on the crop outlook. If
some disaste does not come to the cot
ton crop the south is elected, as the
Presby terians say, 'So, mote it be, " I
say. : ' j ; ' I
If the south fetches up this fall with
a bumper corn and cotton crop she will
make the landing in good shape. Cot
ton is good for 8 to 10 cents in any
eyent, it seems to me. A fellow can
unload his crop now at about 10 cents.
After seven weeks of constant travel
and work, meeting chautauqua engage
ments, I have still three more weeks to
fill, and I am travel worn and tired but
fat and saucy. Never stood travel and
work better than now. I am surprised
at tnyeelf, for i thought two years ago
I was about worn out. There is life in
the old fellow yet, so to speak, and I
am thankful for the fact. I am glad
that I am alive. Glad I can talk and
glad that thousands hear me every day.

A contemporary, referring to the; re
cently developed fact that the work in
the Government Printing Office
at
Washington is done at a cost 100 toTtail,,, 'hollow horn" and "loss of cud"
200 per cent, in excess !of wheat the
same work would cost if j executed at a
private establishment, points it out as
an exhibition of what the country
might expect under a system of govern
ment ownership of things. The point
is well taken. Whether it is the build-
of a court house or doing anything
else, it always costs the' government
about twice as much as it would an
in dividual or a company. Add 100
per cent, to the operating expenses of
the railroai and telegraph lines of the
country and reduce the cost ; of the
transportation of passengers and
freight and messages of course the
cost would have to be reduced, other
wise there would be no object in hav
ing the government take properties

do you suppose the balance would lahow
at the end of the year? WhyJ the
deficit would.be enormous and the dear
people would have to go down in their

HOLLOW HORN, KTC.

Dr. Talt Butler la ProftTOMlve Farmer.
The following inquiry sent to The
Progressive Farmer has been referred to
me with the' request fur i genera)
article on the subject: V
"Is there anything in cow having
'hollow horns' and hollow Uil Do
they lose their cuds? If so, please give
remedy for amealso give all the in
formation you can concern ins; above
named diseases through The Pro
gressive Farmer." j
In reply to these questions1 of J. H.
8., it may be briefly stated that "hollow
the disease is entirely overlooked,
human mind is prone to seek an
are purely imaginary diseases , existing
only in the minds of those not fanailar
with the normal and diseased con
ditions of cattle. A cow becomes sick.
The cause and nature of the disease is
naturally a mystery to' those not ed
ucated in veterinary medicine. Being
unfamiliar with natural, as well ias
diseased conditons it is not strange that
they often mistake the former for the
latter, while the true seat and nature of
The
ex
planation for every condition, but a
fiction satisfies as well as fact where
through knowledge of the question is
lacking. .
For the last fifty years, at least, some
of the brightest men of " this and all
other countries have spent their entire
energies and abilities investigating and
studying the diseases of cattle, but not
one of them has yet announced the
discovery of the existence of "hollow
horn" and "hollow tails" as diseased
conditions.
i r
It is not denied that the frontal
sinus, a cavity of the head with which
tu natural cavity of the horn communi
cates, may" become diseased and the
effects extend to the horn, but this is
rare and is not "hollow horn." Like
wise, the tail may
receive a direct in
jury and show sigps of disease, but this
is also rare and is not "hollow tail" or
grub in the, tail," as the imaginary
disease, is sometimes called.
t
Ninety per cent of those cases called
"hollow horn" or "hollow tail," which
the writer has seen, have been plain
cases of indigestion or lexas fever
(distemper); while the remaining ten
per cent have usually been some one
or another of. many pther diseases
equall well known to the veterinarian.
I am well aware that some reader
will be ready with the reply that those
who have had -practical (?) experience
with cattle know that these diseases do
exist and that such is proved by the
fact that when the animals are treated
for these diseases they get well. I have
merely this question to ask: Who is
the more competent to judge of this
matter, the stock-owner who sees pos
sibly eight or ten sick cattle a year and
does not possess that technical education
necessary to enable him to understand
the problems involved, or the trained
veterinarian who Bees- several hundred
cases' during the same period? Whose
experience is the most "practical?"
Even a large stock-owner would not
usually see as many cases in fifty years
as many veterinarians Bee: in one. This
being the case, is it not strange that if
these diseases really exist, outside of
the minds of the laity, some; veter
inarian has not been seen and recog
nized them? K
But why do the cattle get well when
treated for these diseases, and die if
not? This is not entirely so. ; Many
treated for these diseases die, while
others not so treated get well. -The
explanation of the fact that cattle fre
quently get well when treated only for
"hollow- horn" or "hollow tails"' is
simple. They get well in spite of the
treatment. In eVWy animal organism
there is a tendency to return to normal
conditons, repair an injury, or get well
if sick. Whether treated or not, many
cases get well, and I regret to state,
that as medicines are used tjo-day, in
the treatment of live stock in this State,
those not treated : generally have the,-
best chance forj1 recovery. Moreover
it may be stated, in explanation of con
ditions which many people believe to
indicate disease, that all horns are
mpre or less hollow. Old animals,
thin in flesh and with large horns, are
ant to show the largest cavities, but
young aminals, in similar conditions,
and with horns of equal size, will show
variations in the size of the cavities.
' That the horns, as well as other
extremities, become colder than usual
when the animal is weak from disease
of an v sort is also .admitted and the
conditons which are " usually termed
"hollow horn" are, therefore, either
normal ones or symptoms of a variety
of real diseases. "r Again, the last four
to six inches of a cow's tail is naturally
and always boneless. Just where the
bones cease, or at the upper end of this
soft, boneless portion, the tail is smaller
and softer toive greater freedom of
movement of the switch , in fighting
flies, etoi This natural condition is the
one that is usually thought to indicate
jhollQw4ail," "except1 in those rare
cases where the tail may be realy in
jured or diseased. ,
i In conclusion, it may be Btated that
h?n any portion of the buly can t
eui off and thrown away, without
causing any appreciable disturbance of
health, U is safe to conclude that tso
invisible diabase of the Irt will raue
serious iconsequencc. -j. '
The other question,; " IK cattle los
their cud?" is almost too ridiculous to
t
merit attention in in these data. It is
now, generally known by. all, that the
cow recbews her food and that in
-cuewipg ner cua ue w simpiy pre
paring the food " she ! haa pre iotuly
guUiC-red for Biom eay dijeedou. To
perform this act tf rumination, she
usaliy seeks some quiet place, and the
lightest disturbance ; '.will generally
cause her to temporarily cea chewing
her cud. Likewise any disturbance of
health, and especially-j diseases of the
digestive organs, cause her to stop
chewing her cud, or tb "lose her cud."
When recovery takes iace the lost cud
is found,1 since she resumes her habit of
rechewing the food previously swallow
ed without sufficient mastication.

Bis Coffin At 'jnooresvllle. -
Special to Charlotte Observer.;
Mooresville, Aug. 20. The largest
coffin ever seen in this community was
that at W. N. Johnston's undertaking
establishment this morning. The di
mensions are: Six feet, two inches
fpng; four feet wide; 28 inches deep.
The coffin box is seven feet long, three
and a half feet deep. The Observer
correspondent knows the man for whom
it is made and the reason bis name is
not given is that he is not yet dead
It is impossible for him to live but a
short time longer. Being a very large
man and knowing that it was only a
question of timei.for him to remain here
and knowing that a coffin could not be
readily obtained, this step was taken
to prevent delay in the burial. The or-.
dinary( weight of the man was about
400 pounds, and being afllicd with
dropsy bis size has been greatly in
creased. There will not "be much va
cant space left when he is placed in the
coffin. i

CkarU Y. Murphy, leader of Tam
many, has confirmed the statement
ex -Senator James Smith, Jr. , -.of New
Jersey, that he favored the oaminaUoo
of Mr. Cleuland for President. Mr,
Murphy denied that he had pledged any
delegation to support the x-President,
but he qualified hit denial with the
phrase "as yet."
"II is true," he said, "that I met
Mr. Smith and talked over thesituMion
with him. The subject arose in a di
cussion of my recent trip through the
West and Northwest. Wherever I
went I found a strong feeling in sup
port of Mr. Cleveland.;' and everyone
with whom I spoke said that he i the
man to defeat Roosevelt. j
"I told Mr. Smith that I was of the
same opinion, and I believed that if
Mr. Cleveland should be nominated he
wou'd be elected. I have not, as yet,
pledged the support of any dele
gation, and! can only reeat
that I believe : the sentiment in the
Tammany Organization is that Mr.
Cleveland would be elected if put at
the head of the ticket," ? !
A prominent Cleveland Democrat
of Tammany Hall made the following
statement: "Ex-Senator Smith came
to New York in- May and met Mr.
Murphy for the purpose of discussing
Mr. Cleveland's nomination. At the
first conference several Tammany Dem
ocrats were present. Ivngh McLaugh
lin was not invited to . attend because
it was understood that he was com
mitted to the candidacy of David B.
Hill, which, of, course, is distinctly
antagonistic to Mr. Cleveland.
"There was complete unanimity in
favor of Mr. Cleveland's nomination.
It has not been said, nor can it truth
fully be said, that ex-Senator Smith
pledged New Jersey to the support of
Mr, Cleveland, or that Leader Murphy
pledged the support of Tammany.
The i mportaoce of the event lies in the
fact that Mr. Smith unquestionably
dominates the Democracy of New Jer
sey and that Mr. Murphy can, u ider
conditions such as we now have in this
State, readily briug about the indorse
ment of Mr. Cleveland by ' the New
York Democracy. j .
"It is a perfectly defensible statement
that three-fourths of the ' Democratic
leaders of Manhattan believe Mr.
Cleveland to be the best man their party
can put forward for the Presidency.
Mr. Murphy was entirely justified in
his declaration that there was in May
a remarkably strong trend in New
York and in the States of the Middle
West toward Mr. Cleveland. He
knows conditions in Tammany as no
other man knows them, and his fre
quent vkits to one of the Michigan
health resorts near . Chicago havr put
him in touch with Democratic leaders
of the West." ,
Henry Stafford Little, a close friend
of the ex-President, said : .
"Mr. Cleveland does riot want to re
enter politics. He will refuse the
nomination if it is offered to him. I
mean that he will tell his closest and
most intimate friends that they must
work to keep him from being nomin
ated. ; He would not take a nomination
from the party politicians, but if the
people of the country rise up and de
mand him 'for President he might
submit.
"I am of the opinion that Mr.
Murphy and other Tammany leaders
are honest in their assurance that they
will give their support to Mr, Cleveland.
but Mr. Hill stands in the way. He
has done more than any other man
to disrupt the party, and he still stands
the foremost disorganizer in the coun
try. He could not carry his own State,
and New Jersey would go against himj
I would not vote for him, and I know
hundreds of otherJ who would be glad
to vote for Mr. Cleveland who would
not accept Hill.
"New Jersey will send a Cleveland
delegation to the next national conven
tion, and 1 guess that some of the
other States will follow the example,

Bryan influence, coupled with the Hill
influence, is too strong. Mr. Cleveland
is a safe man, and he could be de
pended upon to defend the country in
the troubles that seem tb be imminent
as a result of the social conditions.
Labor and capital sill threaten each
other once too often, and when that
happens we want a strong and safe
man in Washington."
