Washington. Oct. l.">, 1000.
Those whose votes can not be
bought must ite coeived into voting
for MrKinley. That is the
motto under which the ltepublieuii
managers are woiking now. 1 lowit
works in somo cases may be
judged by what n nroir.im 11' drum
iner said to a Washington friend:
"Ninety-live percent of the comraereinl
travelers in ti 10 United
States, atul abouTall of those who
woro commercial travelers until
the oil-rush of trusts drove them
from tlm load, will volo for Bryan
and Stevenson. This is confidence,
so far as my name is concerned.
I bavo to appear us a McKinley
man. I am one of the few of the
once largo army of travoling salesmen
whose services were com-ide: e 1
valuable enough to be retained by
the assimilat ing Combine that
wiped out our old linn. And I've
got a w ifeand babies to support. 1 '
want to hold my job. So I say
'Mckinley' and appear to like i!
before the tin t spies. But wait
until I get into the voting b >olh;
wait until the thousands of 'has
been' commercial travelers and the
hundreds of those who still are, get
uen i tul the on it 111 n in the voting
places. Won't we 'swat "em' at
the polls." The secret ballot
makes it ponsiblo for the coercion
scheme to prove a boomerang to
the Kepublioau managers, and it
may do so. There are probably
many who are like this drummer.
Alr. McKinley lias given himself
up almost out ii' ly to polities since
his return to Washington, ju.>t as
he has been doing in Canton, although
the newspaper men who
go to the White House have been
told that lie and the members of
the cab net have been very busy
studying the French proposals as
to China and preparing a reply
thereto. That is all moonshine.
There was nothing in the IVem-h
proposal, that required a half
hour s eonsiderat i >u as to what the
r ply of this country should be.
McKinley and h is r dvisers are and
have been studying up schemes to
rave, him from the dob a! which
he dreads and fears because of

Mr. \Y. S. Wilhi rson, a progressive
farmer of the \vistern portion
of lliis county, gives a good object
lesson of what can lie done on a
fninll firm in connection with the
usual cotton and corn crops, says
the Yorkvillo convsp indent of the
News and Courier. Mr. Wilkerson
is a large land owner and conducts
vt ry extensive fanning i p.'rations,
which include only three plows by
wage haiuls. These three plows
are, of coiuse, entirely under his
own direct supervision. Willi
these three plows tills year, in addition
t i working twenty-live aeros
< f corn and tweniv live m-ri i of
cotton, ho has umilc wheat to the
value of $lot), straw to 1 he value <?f
. l'Jo, hay woith $_.">(), oats worth
I ? , sorghum worth !^'l lit, and
cane si ed worth Si.i; a tot il of
Sl.lho. lie calculates that the entire
expense of the: e eroj.H (lid not ;
exceed ?200, after charging against
the cotton anil corn crops tlie proportion
they should hear. Not
one fanner out of twenty makes as :
much as j'l.ltlo ^ioss otf a threehorse
farm, and this serves to give 1
a pretty good idea of what can he
done under the right kind of management.
