A contemporary notes that Senaor
Tillman who used to ignore the
wess is now getting sensitive about
ts criticisms. This is encourag
ng. 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

conducting him through our new
court house and then perchance
give him an auto spin around the
county over our newly-made macadam
roads.
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

just in front of his home. 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. He
was a stalwart, muscular fellow

was a big/ amount of brains and 1
energy that had been wasted in the
effort to win success under 'the
most adverse conditions. Had

pitiable example of the wisdotn of
our law-makers! This man is illiterate
but the wisdom he has
grained from the lesson of experience
is w rth more than all the
literacy combined of the wiseacres
who would keep the lien law
on the statute books.
