f farmers about matters which they
know much more than we do, but
t: it uoes seeui tiint we suuuiu uc
, pardoned tnis time ror cautioning
i them as to the tobacco crop. In
another cofumn will be found an
. 'article showing the production
and the consumption of tobacco.
-.Kead it, and then if ' you "think it
,-wise to abandon all oher crops,
as too many of our farmers have
, oeen uoing in toe past, tuen go
, ahead and plant all of the tobacco
7ybu can put in. With a very large
; surplus already in the. hands of
!1 t f . All -a V'
, tne manuracturere it is tony to er-
pect big prices for the next crop,
ceven if it is a small one. The man-
. ufacturers are not. going to pay.
one cent more for the crop than
1 ,they are forced to they are just
Jike you and, I. When you go to
town you do not pay more for an
"article than you are forced to, and
.meither will the manufacturer, es
'pecially when they have the 'fix
ing of the price.
Certainly, the man who has a
' fine crop of tobacco fine fillers
and. wrappers, will get a good
price tor it, but you kribw what a
small per cent of the crop comes
- under this head, and you know
how much of your crop is more
than likely to be composed of the
lower grades. Unfortunately, for
them and us the cotton farmers
. raised an unheard of crop last year
and the most of it sold at ruinous
iy low prices, consequently they
are not going to raise so much this
.season but are going to put in a
worJd of tobacco and the chances
are that when tle next crop is
, soJd there will be more than e-
nough on hand to- last an entire
year, and possibly two, if there
was not another pound raised for
' twelve moriths.
'.- Knowing these things to be true,
then it does look like we would
all turn our attention to something
else.To be sure, you will plant
some tobacco, you will have to,
foi;it is our only money crop, but
you should at least look v out for
your family and your stock. Plant
more cornhah you ever planted
before, sow peas and take extra
,care of your grass and meadows,
see that Ihere is one or more cows
on every farm, pigs enough to
supply your wants in this line ahtl
a few tb sell, look well b the
chickens : and eggs, and to the
thousand'and one little things on
the farm which haye a market
ralue. In tne summer give that
good wife, your best partner, some
help-in -caring for the, canning bu
sinfess. With these things proper
ly tteniled tb it takes: very little
money to run the average farmer,
r We;know. many.of you will say
it can not be 'done, that you . sim
ply m ust raise tobacco to get the
necessary money; Hbmany , of
you have the necessary money
now to make another crop ? How
many 'of you did not get, money

, Up to Monday mornings 'there
had'been introduced In the Hoiise
fourteen hxindre.l and ninety two"
bills, Dr. Tucker having introduc
ed twelve. Just what these, twelve
are we are not a ole to say - just at
this time but we are-willing to say
they will meet with the approval of
the people, for the Dr. is one of the
level headed Representatives," a
man who will do to tie to. "
We know the Democratic party
has done many "foolish things but
we do not recall anything (fyuite so
silly as the talk of ah extra session
of the Legislature for the .purpose
of investigating the conduct of
Judge Carter and Solicitor 4 Abe
nethy. Just because two hot' head
ed men so far forgot themselves as
to let their temper, and" their 'ton
gues get the better , of them the Leg
islature is asked to investigate the
matter: Giije them the same? medi

The present session of Congress
will expire by limitation on tomor
row, and while many have feared
another extra session it looks now
as if this will not be. While the
President was not sucessful, and
we are sorry, in . getting through
his shipping bill, still, he has decid
ed not to call an extra session. It
has been intimated that there was
a possibility of an extra session be
ing called -about the first of Octo
ber, but at any rate the country
will have a rest from legislation,
botli as to Nation and State, , and
tfor this we are thankful.

Now is the time to begin pre
paring for the County fair. Plant
something Which you want to ex
hibit, or begin to give attention
to that colt, calf or pig which you
want to show. Last year many of
our good farmers did not exhibit
because the fair was not decided
on until it was too late to make
preparations, but this, year you
know there is going to be a fair
anil we want to see m'any more of
you tafee an interest in the exhib-
its and show to those wlp will vis
it the fair what this good old Coun
ty car do. The Fair last year was
a great success, but it is going to
be much .better this ,y ear, and the
! way to make it better is for each
one to lend a helping hand. Begin
