Convention the edoptlon of a platform

cuss them and Inform and Interest tbe
plain voters vjboee votes they were
courting. >■; | 1
The resolutions were presented to
tbe State Convention and dlbd without
attracting a second’s attention. The
Democratic party continued to be at
the mercy of the candidates, who made
the !•• ties,: and It was natui'aUhiUbey
►honld select and harp on such meas
ures snd propositions, whether practi
cal or visionary, as would wlo them
popular favor and electing votes.
The outlook for tbe campaign of 1912
as it now appears bas nothing new or
pretty in and about It. The people, It
seems, are to be fed upon a rehash of
the old candidate chosen issues that
have bad all the good taste and strength
exhausted in previous campaigns.
Governor Bleaio is to be a candidate
for reeleetion as a local OptlonUt favor
ing the dispensary plan of regulating the
liquor business, lie may not be s can
didate for Governor but may run for
th« Lulled States Senate If Senator R.
R. Tillman U not In the race.
Chief Justice Ira H. Jones has re
signed the high office lie holds as head
of tbe State's judiciary. HU reslgns-
tlon will not go Into effect until danu-
iVff 9th, 1912. the day of the meeting
of the legislature. In the meantime
Jnstloe Jones must according to the
proprieties be si|*nt as to the reasons
why and the purposes for which he
lays aside tbe gown, gives up his seat
on the benph and gets on the speech
making stump. It Is understood that
he too Is s local optlonist, In favor of
the license system as the best plan for
controlling the liquor trade. Between
the Governor and tbe Chief Justice
there is no Hlamese bend of affection,
t,- The next campaign and deciding pri
mary election are a long way off and
there Is a plenty of time for a drove of
dark horses to come to the front The
prohibitionists are to be reckoned with.
The scrap between the Governor and
Chief Justice will tempt the thirsty for
honor and oOlce and emoluments to en
ter tbe race, and the bees are buzzing
and the mosquitoes singing around
many wakeful heads.
The logic of the situation seems to
point to Charles A. Smith of Tlinmons-
vllle, the present LieutenantGovernor,
aa the proper man to lead tbe proliibi-
tlonista to victory or defeat, and hla
aucceas or failure would be equivalent
to a aettllng of the whlakey question
for a couple of years. At the opening
of the campaign, however, the State
Convention should formulate a plat
form, and no longer go on like the
Bturbon kings, wbj^jiew learned
anything, a bo 'the needs and wishes
, subjects, until they caught It
in the neck. /

price for cotton, also great In the at
tendance of one thousand leading men
of tho Mouth, Unit«d Statoa Senators,
Congreaamen, Commissioners of Agrl
culture, bankers, merchants und best
of si! the farmers.
There was much eloquent speaking,
complimentary applause Ac.
South Carolina seemed to lead. Col.
K.J. Watson wav elected permanent
president and made a couple of ready
and red hot speeches, Senator E, D.
Smith by his eloquence secured the
adoption of a resolution fixing 16 cents
a* the price of the present cotton crop.
President Barrett of the Farmers’
Union deuietl that a Dumper crop is
being fathered nojv. He said he had
been informed of a world round con
spiracy to bear the price of cotton.
This paper saw and said that weeks
ago, but every body was so busy
marching along with shut eyea and
heads thrown back singing prosperity
that thsy could not see detcaioratlon
waiting ahead, waiting for the ripen
ing of cotton.
Col. Barrett also said that foreign
capital had agreed to advance as much
as sevonty-dve million dollars at 6 per
cent interest to finance tbe cotton crop.
The Montgomery organization was
made permanent and every cotton state
is to have its own organisation, which
will be subject to the Southern Cot
ton Congress.
HOW TO GET RID OF
NUT GRASd.
(Progressive Farmer)
A friend wants to know If I
conquered the nut gra<« in my garden
Yes, 1 have nearly finished it, and tills
summer it iw-the rarest weed in my
garden. Last year wa* the tti st year
the garden was cultivated, at it had
been lying out as a Vacant lot. One
4nd of the l >t was well set In nut grass,
and 1 determined that it should go. 1
did not dig it out except whatever
turned up in the plowing of tit' land
and was raked out. Then EVERY
DAY I chopped off that nut grass. Cut
off to-day it was up to-morrow, but 1
knew that no plant can long survive If
not allowed to make gceen leaves above
ground. So I chopped it off dally. It
got thinner and thinner by frost, and
as none wa« allowed to seed, 1 find
few plants this summer and have
simply been pulling them out as fast
as seen, and have not even had to use
the hoe on them. This is equal y ap
plicable to any persistent weed. Keep
them cbopped off and they must die.
The tame la true of rassafras sprouts.
These will simply increase if dug and
the roots cut, but chopped off or mown
off regularly wiili the mowing machine
tbev soon give up. Tbe mower Is the
be«t implement to rid laud of sprouts
and briers.

EDUCATING A CHILD.
Nothing matters in a nursery—ex
cept the mother, nurse and air. The
rougher and plainer everything tbe
better-no lace to cradle cap, hardest
possible bed and simplest food accord
4ag to Age.JiaUJ9Qi9J find walla of the
cleanest.
All education to beautv is first ii. the
beauty of gentle human faces round a
child; secondly, in the fields—fields
meaning “grass, water, beasts, flowers
and sky.”
Without these, no man can be edu
cated humanly. He may be made a cal
culating machine, a walking diction
ary. a painter of dead bodies, a twaug-
ler or scratcher on keis oi cstgut, a
discoyerer-of new form* of worms In
mud. But a propeily so called human
being—never.
Pictures are, I believe, of no use
whatever by themselves. If the child
has other things right, round it ar.d
given to It—its garden, its cat, and its
window to the sky and stars—in time,
pictures of flower* and beasts and
things in heaven and heavenly earth,
may bo useful to it. But see first that
Us rcklities are heavenly.
