' 'TIT - ' 1 1 4- U !. rtl.Tiv 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 en du gh from your? tobabco J?orop this season to pay your, fertilizer account V Oh, but . ybiv say, - this was a bad season and anVuiiusu al year.

O 7 . , 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 cine you would give some ordinary cuss under .similar circumstances and all will be well. . . : - -u 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. Y v 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.
