Th e Republicans are making good use of the United States Court in Scuth Caro!in a fer the manufacture of political capital. ... As soon as these Republicans, who should now be in the penitentialy, are clear of the State law, the United States Court - mafe use oY by the design^ ing Republicans at Washington to ha rass and punish any of our citizens who may have committed the least indiscretion. Let u s keep alive an un dying hatred and sworn opposition to such tyranny as is new being prac ticed on us. The Government at Washington seems to have no better use for it s Couits than to employ them in the interest of the Radicals to perpetuate Republican rul e and a despotism which i.« unbearable. The accounts of the proceedings of the Courts, as published by The News and Gorier, will do the work.

He is out in the field with a male. The mule is pulling the plow while the farmer pushes. He is laying off a furrow to plant some cotton seed in. Watch the mule sweat as the farmer perspires. The mule seems tired and w>orn out. His ribs are sore from rubbing against the back hand on the outside and nothing on seems to b e i need of certain changes along this line, something more de scriptive and impressive than the old forms, such as “At Rest, Sleep On.” For instance, a good cook would pos-ibly appieciate an epitaph like this: “She fed the hungry and knew her onions—she left her heirs in the butter.” the inside, ton. The muL cannot eat cot- What is in the sack at the end of the row? That is ipine needles the faimer has raked up to use in place of guano which he can not buy as he has no money. Why does he not have money? The guano man got it when he sold his cotton last fall. A successful farmer should have this on hjs tombstone: “He labored for his loved ones, but Wall Street fleeced him. He was kind to his mule.” A nice car driver would want this said of him: “He never cut comers, and he stayed on his side of the road.” * What is the man going to plant in the field acros s the road? He will plant that field in cotton too. What will he plant behind the barn and in his other fields? He will plant them in cotton also. Can the farmer eat cotton? O, no. Cotton is made to sell and it cannot be eaten. Has the farmer a cow and a pig? No, he has no cow and pig—he plant ed only cotton last year and sows and pigs do not eat cotton. Why doe s he plant cotton instead of corn? He can always sell cotton and get some money to buy gasoline and tires with. And he thinks he will get a high price for his cotton so’s he can buy plenty feed for his mule. Why i s he planting so much cot ton this year while it is so cheap? Because he thinks everybody but himself will reduce their cotton acre age and he will get rich. Will the rest of the farmers reduce their acre age? No, they will expect the rest of the farmers to do that. Here’s a suggestion for a shoe maker: “He mended the soles of men and was faithful to the last.” This would possibly suit an in telligent electrician: “His passing was a shock. He kept up with current events, but he’s gone home to dy-no- mo. How about this for a suicide?: “Gangway! Bam! Bam! Bam!! (He missed the first two shots.) Thi s ferm should be satisfactory to an Jn-talment collector: “He dun all he could and relieved the needy— of their worldly possessions.” A professional dead-beat could slumber peacefully beneath this epi taph: “He dodged everything but death. May he keep on dodging.” A lazy man ought to appreciate a nice expression like this: “Sleep on, dear hu-band, and take your rest —when you died, it was for the best. We will miss you at the table.” How to Make a Living or. a Farm. 1. Sell your automobile—if you plant nothing but cotton. 2. Don’t pay your taxes—if you plant nothing but' cotton. Has the farmer got good sense? Yes, the farmer has good sense about everything except cotton. Does he know he is a fool when he plants his entire acreage in cotton? No, he think s he is smarter than the other farmers. 3. Make your younguns go bare footed and partly hungry—if you plant nothing but cotton. Is the farmer poor? Yes. Why is he poor? Cotton. Does he know that all cotton and no grain will keep him poor. Yes, then why does he keep on doing the same thing over and over? Are you a fool too? Am I a fool? Yes. Why? Because we all do the same thing. We never think we need feeds and food till it i s too late to grow them. A Few Suggested Epitaphs.
