When a man begins to recognise the power of the press he is beginning to learn. With feeling so tense between he attorneys and others interested in the Cooper-Carmack trial here is very little likelihood of the roceedings amounting to more than a farce. As a rule when politics walks into the court house Justice picks up her scales and /alks out. By advocating the annexation Woodbury Township to Hoiry unty our Marion friends tacitly .dmit just what 1500 voters in lis end of Marion have been aiming for a score of years, i.e., 1 tat the county is too large and lght to be divided. There are .illy two kinds of people who nev' change their mind and we are i ad thpt our Marion friends don't I ilohg to either class. It's never o late to get on the right side. One of The Herald's highly esemed friends in a letter to the editor says: "Don't fail on that, n w countv." Of course we won't. T le New County is nearer the *: arts of the people of this section L ti an anything else in the world ^ d if they fail this time it won't 1 i> their fault. Nothing comes beyi u re its time ?nd nearly all the vot: -s in this section are agreed that i he time has come for a New Counr .

If it is true that bad seasons follow mild winters this year's cotton crop will be reduced to a minimum. A Herald man was told by a prosperous farmer a few days ago that there would be a small cotton crop this year. Asked for his reason for the prediction the farmer said the winter has been too mild. He then went on to say tnat the winter of 1890-91 was so mild that the mercury never got belcw the 60 notch. Vegetation was green all the year round and stalks sprouted before plowing time arrived. In fact the whole winter was so mild that any kind of tropical plant could have been raised in any month during the year. The summer following this mild winter was intensely hot and the lowlands were literally covered with insects and vermin. No doubt there is something in this farmer's prediction. If it is the rule for bad seasons to follow mild winters the best thing: the farmer can do is to raise all the hog: and hominy he can and let the fates take care of the cotton crop. A few weeks ago we passed the the home of a prosperous farmer. Everything: around tne home breathed an air of prosperity. Tl?e premises were well-kept, the fences surrounding: the home and the outbuildings were substantially built and neatly painted. On every hand there were indications ' f thrift, energy and pride. This man had accumulated a comfortable fortune at fanning. There were evidences that snecial atten tion had been given to details in the management of his farm. It was apparent that he was a man who watched and managed closely. Therefore it was a bit surprising to see some 40 or 50 bales of cotton lying flat upon the ground SBi HBmwwimmwwnww mmm IaUH Itlli II TAKE YQUi U/\/Vtj MON Leep your money at borne, nd near Dillon since Jan. 14tl llace A.

The cotton was weather-beaten and had already taken on that bluish tint Which indicates deterioation. This evidence of carelessness was iqt striking- contrast to the gentleman's surroundings. But still when this fanner sells his cotton and from 20 to 30 pounds are taken off each bale he will take his losses without a murmur because he alone is to blame. Such methods in the commercial or industrial line would mean bankruptcy, but on the farm prosperity comes in spite of them. Great are the resources of the farm. 1 . -Not long since we heard a farmer who was not blessed with much of this world's goods say he wanted the lieu law repealed. When asked for his reason for wanting the law repealed he replied: "My grandfather worked all his life under a lien and died poor; my father made his crops under a lien and died poor, al though he was an industrious man; every crop I ever made was made under a lieu and I have been poor all my life. Isn't that a good reason for wanting the law repealed?'' We had to admit that it was.
