Alabama is by no means the only state that can boast of bright crop prospects as the same glad tidings are being waited from all parts of the country. In the west the yield promises to be the best for a number of years. This will help Alabama in one sense, not that we will have need for any of their grain, but it will cheapen the price of meat which will be of great advantage to us as well believe that Alabama has never yet been abused for raising enough meat. And so long as we give all our time and attention to “king cotton” and none to the raising of hogs it is not likely that we will ever be accused of it. The majority of the farmers throughout Alabama who raise nay hogs at all, just try to raise enough for self, never thinking for a single moment that their neighbors, one or more of them will have to give perhaps one third, or one fourth of the proceeds of his cotton crop to some northern or western stock raiser for a few hundred pounds of salt pork to enable him to make another crop. One trouble is, we don’t try to breed good hogs, but will many times waste enough corn to fatten two good hogs trying to get an old poor scrub in condition for making pork. Which, when killed won’t net exceeding seventy-five pounds after deducting forty pounds for head and feet. Let our farmers endeavor to raise their own hogs and don’t rely too much on acorns and fresh air to fatten them. If our farmers will only try this a few years and then say is not better to raise their meat at home than it is to have some fellow away back North raise it for them, the come around and we will own up. The case of Jones S. Hamilton et al for the murder of R. D. Gambrell came up in the Circuit Court of Hinds County, Miss on the 4th. The counsel for the defense moved its continuance, when upon the refusal of the court to grant this request the counsel for the state then petitioned for a change of venue, and the trial is now to be held at Brandon at the August term of Circuit Court. It appears to us that if there ever was a time in the history of our county when the farmers ought to be economical, this is certainly the time. Nearly all of our farmers can meet their debts this fall and be free men if they will only use the same amount of rigid economy from this time forward that they have practiced up to the present. But, with a great many people as the prospect of getting out of debt rises up and confronts the m they become awe struck and the temptation to go still deeper in its to much for them and the very first thing they know is, that they are hopelessly in debt without any probability of getting out. To ever be successful our farmers must practice “self denial” Judging from the recent report of the grand jury of Hinds County, Miss, there is certainly great need for a reformation to take place as regards the convict system in that state. Ben. Butler raves and snorts over the proposition to return the captured Confederate flags. Perhaps he is afraid that the next proposition will be to return the spoons and other valuables taken from southerns during the war – [Savannah News] WHEELERISM VS. DEMOCRACY Bull Mountain, Ala. July 12th 1887 Wheelerism, Knights of Labor, Farmer’s Alliance vs Democracy. Why is it that these institutions all attack and oppose the Democratic Party. It can’t be because the Democratic Party is responsible for the present oppressive laws that are grinding the farmers to death. It can’t be because the doctrine and principles of those institutions advocate are so antagonistic to Democratic principles. The Democrats have been trying to get the war tariff reduced all the while which is the great factor in building up monopolists and oppressing the farmer. The Democratic Party is the only national party that we can look to with any hope of relief. You Wheelers will say that you and the Farmers Alliance and the Knights of Labor will come together and then have a National party of your own, and strong enough to elect your own officers. A few years ago we had a Nation “green back” party that proposed to do wonders, and revolutionize the country in general, whose principles and platform was almost the very same of that of the Democrats. Well, when the election came on, the Republican “Green backers” North, voted the Republican ticket the last goose of them. While we fool Democrats South, a great many of us voted the “Green back ticket. Now if you Wheelers, Knights, of Labor and Farmers alliance has a candidate it eh field in the next Presidential election, you will be doing just what the “moonshiners’” tried to do in our last Congressional election. They voted for Long, because he was in favor of abolishing the internal revenue of whisky, which if he could have done it wouldn’t have been two years until you could have bought two gallons of whisky for one bushel of corn. Then, how could you make money by making whiskey? It is true, that the Democratic party of today is not what it was forty years ago, we have been under Republican laws and usages so long that we have imbibed a great many of their ideas and customs that is by no means in keeping with the true genuine democratic principles. We need a return to the old-time democratic doctrine, when the people were the masters, and the officers were the servants of the government. Now, I do not wish to discourage any farmer’s organization that might bring relief or be an advantage to the farmer. I know that the farmer has to support all other profession and that the prosperity of all depends on the prosperity of the farmer. Then all should be interested in the welfare of the farmer. Now, I think the intention of those organizations is to divide the Democratic Party south in the next presidential election. I think that “wheelerism” was sired in the North, born in Arkansas, and as soon as he got large enough to walk allied himself with the Republican Party. It also has a tendency to create domestic troubles, especially where the negro population predominates. As waters following the laws of gravitation wills eek its level, so supply the demand, and completion will govern the price of every thing any law to the contrary notwithstanding. Well, I hope I haven’t said anything that will ruffle the feelings of anyone. As we have a county paper, let us express our views on the questions of the day through its columns one to another and perhaps be beneficiated thereby. Respectfully I. J.

KUYKENDALL L. M. ALLEN Hot – Hotter – Hottest Come out to church tonight Hamilton needs a good school teacher. See two new final proof notices in this issue. The farmers are about done “laying by.” Mr. LANN of Aberdeen, Miss., was in town on business the first of the week. Mr. HENRY CANTRELL of Itawamba County, Miss. is visiting in town this week. The infant son of MR. and Mrs. G. B. MIXON we are sorry to say is seriously ill at this time. Mr. JOHN WINSTON of Bull Mt. was nit eh city the first of the week and called on the Herald. Messrs. NANCE and NEALLY, two commercial travelers were stopping at the hotel the first of the week. Our young friend W. J. CLARK is engaged in “driving the quill” in the Probate Judge’s office. Mr. ISAAC CANTRELL has been quite sick for several days. Hope to see him out again soon. Mr. --- FOSTER of ____ Miss has been visiting relatives in town for several days. A light shower of rain on Tuesday last which was sufficient to lay the dust and cool the atmosphere considerably. Read the County treasuries report in another column and then you can see “what goes with the county funds.” Locals are a little scarce this week but there is no demand for “bad colds” as the people seem to have a full supply on hand. U. S. Commissioner D. N. COOPER and U. S. Marshall WHITE of Fayette C. H. are now located in our town. W. H. KEY, esq. returned from Belgreen on last Saturday. He says Franklin County has fine crops and that Russellville is booming right along. We receive the minutes of the last meeting of the Agricultural Wheel at this place but to late for publication this week. They will appear in the next issue. Hope our readers will pardon the scarcity of locals in this week’s paper as the editor has been unwell for several days and couldn’t hustle around and “get ‘em up.” A party consisting of three white and five colored men passed through town last week. They were from Miss. and said they were on their way to the S & B. Railroad. We want a correspondent from every post office in the county who will send us the local news each week, but we don’t want a long letter as we haven’t got the space in our columns to publish them. Our friend R. N. TERRELL has returned from the country and can now be found at the store of G. B. MIXON with a happy smile on his face which plainly says when you want a bargain in cheap goods just give us a call. The Ministers and Delegates attending the District Conference to be held at this place will on arriving in town call at the office of Drs. MORTON & Bro. and be assigned to their respective homes. – [Vernon Courier] Who said anything about going fishing? We never. But bless your life we are ready when the dear people say Go. As we never thought it right for a man to shrink from duty especially when a fish fry demands his attention. FROM HACKLEBURG Editor Herald July 15th 1887 I am from Hackleburg, a citizen of no mean city, and if you will allow me a small space in your paper I will say a few things in behalf of this community. Although Hackleburg has been backward in educating her children, and slow in adopting new methods, yet, in the near future she gives promise of outstripping other communities which have had better advantages. The farms in this community will compare favorably with those in any part of the county. Crops are fine. I have been told that if the seasons continue there will be one thousand bushels of corn made on the farm of W. W. OSBIRN. Hackleburg has a Sunday school in which Methodist literature is used, and preaching three Sundays in a month. If the good people can be made to see the need of educating their children better, this will soon be a most desirable country. MINMUS DETROIT DOTS July 18th 1887 Editor Herald In compliance with a request of my friend “butler” I will try to give you a few dots from this place. I am not as efficient in the dispensation of news as “Butler” but I hope you will take into consideration the advantage he has over me. “Butler” is a “King of the Quill” as also of the yard stick – a counter hopper – a vendor of picked oysters and weevil eaten crackers; while I am only a manipulator of a three quarter rope over a one-eyed horse’s sore back. WE have better crops in this section that we have had for several years, and most everybody is done “laying by” The Wheelers had a picnic at the Davis School house last Saturday. Several of our town folks attended and report a good time. The audience was addressed by Dr. STANLEY, Prof. J. E. WHITE and others. Miss ANNIE STOUT and MR. BOB RAY’S family of Aberdeen, Miss. are visiting at Dr. STANLEY’S. Our popular friend TROY LANGSTON is in town. Our town is noted for its large number of bachelors and scarcity of young ladies. Mr. E. D. GILMORE of Miston, Miss. is the latest accession to the bachelor fraternity Your correspondent is uneasy about himself just now, as the only barrier between him and “bachelordom” is time and not much of that when a fellows’ girl writes him such as this “Farewell! We’ll meet again some day, and all our future we’ll relate; Of love, lets have no more to say ‘Tis clear we’re not each others fate. Our fame in pleasant fashion ends; We can cry quite san be good friends.” I say, Mr. Editor, when a fellows’ girl writes him such as this what else can he expect but to sail right into the midst of “bachelordom” with “every foot up.” We have an interesting debating society at this place. The query discussed at the last meting was “Resolved that education should be made compulsory.” The subject through deep one was handled well by both sides – the “negatives’ won by a point or two. “Clip” HACKLEBURG DOTS July 13th 1887 Editor Herald: As I haven’t seen anything in your valuable paper from this section in some time I concluded that the good people of Hackleburg ought to be represented, and consequently I will endeavor to give you a few of this week. Well, the farmers have about completed their crops. Miss ELLIOTT KEY has control of our school this summer. Miss ELLIOTT is a good teacher and we extend to her a hearty welcome. Oh Yes! We are to have a new railroad. The C. & B. surveying company are camped in the burg this week, and say they intend making the quickest and best survey that has ever been made in the U. S. Mr. M. N. B. DEFORE has left our town and gone to Walker County where he will engage in the mercantile business. This leaves our burg without any merchant. There is a good location here for some live energetic business fellow with a capital sufficient to pay cash for his goods and sell them the same way. Our crop outlook in this section was never better than at present. Health is remarkably good. We have preaching every Sunday. Rev. ISBELL preaches on the 1st at 11 a.m. Rev. JOHN TIDWELL on 2nd, at 11 a.m. Rev. W. R. BALLARD on 3rd at 4 p.m. and Rev. J. M. COLEMAN on the 4th and Saturday before. We also have a good Sunday school. Messrs. J. P. PEARCE and JOHN A. POPE were in our town on last week visiting their friends –the railroaders. Call again brothers. Well, I will close for the present by wishing the Herald a long life and much success.
