Just About Candidates. Now the candidate season is on and the woods of Butts county are full of vote-getters, the fol lowing jesting lines from an ex change can be enjoyed by all: When he run for office, he Was as social as could be, Always tellin' lots of jokes, "Hello, Billy!" "How's the folks?" Early mornin', evenin' late, Always hangin' 'round your gate; Kissed the children come from school. Helped the old man hitch his mule, Showed a five-dollar note, "Sammy, how're you goin' to vote?" Just as cunnin' as could be "Want an office? Vote for me!" Wore the cheapest kind'er suits Old wool hat an' army boots; Promised, if they'd help him win, "They'd get rich when he got in?" Now he's in the office. See! Just as proud as proud kin be. Ain't a-telling so much jokes, Never asks you 'bout the folks, Voter feelin' mighty sore "Never saw your face before!" Wool hat, boots, done laid 'um by! Wears a beaver, slick an' high: Voters stand an' look an' wonder "Want an office? Go to thunder!" The South and the President. Mr. Bailey considers the presi dency beyond him, or any South ern man of his generation. Is he right about that? How mucc longer are Southern men to be barred from aspiring to that great office? For some years after the civil war the situation was plain enough. The leading men of the South had all served the Confederacy in one capacity or another-the majority had been soldiers-and on that ac count they were not available. The nomination of the ablest and best of them was not for a moment to be considered. We were still too close to the time of the terrible conflict for candidacy of such a man to inspire con fidence out of the South. But when Mr. Bailey speaks of him self and Southern me-n of his generation he points to the fact that bey were children when the civil tar was in progress. He himself sniffled the conflict from his nurse's arms. So that he and the Southern men of his gener - tion are associate&.. the annnrymlaiureunited form. The only flag they have ever known is the stars and stripes; and how loyal the men of the South, and particularly the young men, now are to that flag was shown in the war with Spain. Why then should not a man of that stamp offer.for the proud honlr of the presidency, when his section of the country casts eight-tenths of the electoral votes necessary to the election of a Democrat to that office? Have not the Democratic leaders from the South effaced themselves at national conventions long enoug~n? Are' they not warranted by char acter, by capacity, and by train ing to take placis at the head of the procession, instead of meekly bringing up the rear under orders from Tammany Hall?-Washing ton Star.

If the present high prlices of beef are due in any measure to , the scarcity of beef cattle, which 9 is altogether probable, it will be quite awhile before the supply can b)e madle equal to tl:e demand,t and in the meantime there will be ~ a harvest for tho!:e who at once give their attention to the pro- ~ duction of mutton, chickens, por-k I and other quick developing comn- t mod ities in the meat line' that are i calculated to act as satisfactorf substitutes for beef.-Yorkville SEnquirer.3 The Exncs:tion During the Month cf May. The Southern railroad, the At lantic Coast Line and the Plant System have arranged to con tinue the sale of the cheap Tues dav tickets to the exposition, as sold during the month of April, on every Tuesday and Thursday during the month of May. This will enable all who have not yet visited the exposition to do so during its closing month, and those who have visited it, to again take advantage of the low rate offered, as nmauy will .un doubtedly do. There has been a great deal said through the columns of the papers in regard to the exposi tion, and its many attractive fea tures. There is one however that ha,s been almost entirely ignorgd or overlooked by all correspoh - dents, and probably from the fact that its location is such as not to attract general attention. Reference is made to the Grass Garden of the U. S. Agricultural Department, which consists of f r acres of ground, and is lo cp just east of the encamp t of the Marine corps. ,ery farmer who visits the ex ition, should visit this garden. Were aie to be found growing over fifty different specimens of forage crops suitable for our Southern suns, as well as wheat, rye, and barley of many kinds The seeds of the different forage crops referred to have been gathered from Africa, EQypt, China, Ireland, Scotland, England, Australia, and many other coun tries. The representative of the Agricultural Department in charge of the Garden is a prac tical farmer, and can-. give the visitor full information- regarding each and every species of the crop, and it can be said to every farmer, if he can spare time to come down, even if he spends only one day at the exposition, let him carefully study these forage crops, get a list of such as be wants to use, and he will be ten times repaid for the expense of the trip, and for the time he may think he is losing from his farm.

A few days ago we sent out a: special circular, offering all d linquents a year's subscription to the American Farmer, if they would pay up by the 15th of May. Of course we could have printed c the offer in these columns, but we did not care to have some of Z our readers reading what was not intended for them. Later we sent out a circular letter to. our subscribers who, were already paid up to some date. within the present year. This offer was withheld from these columns for the same reason as the above, Or we should rather state that both offers were omitted from these columns because we have decided to hive no more dunning of subscribers through these columns. We propose to run the paper on a cash-in-advance basis, and those who have gotten behind with us will hear from us in a more private way thau through the columns of this pae. We are done with the dunning busi ness-through publi<p"rint. To Cure,a Cold to Odiay Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets All druggists refund thie iponey if it fails to cure. E. W.
