Vol. 9. No. 52
W l™n under present conditions
I it has been demonstrated, time
I and again, that the southern farrn
I er can produce hogs at 3 or 4 cents
I a pound, live weight, and make
[ money on them. If this be so, and
^ 't is, then why should he not re
' joice at the fact that live hogs are
selling at 8 cents a pound, and by
, growing hogs as a money crop
We need diversifiation because
it is necessary, or at least condu
cive to increasing soil fertilility,
and because we can produce many
of these things cheaper than we
can buy them. We do not need to
grow everything we use, but we
do need to grow those things of
which we use large quantities and
iwhich we can produce cheaper
■jua^yaer people can produce for
reap a rich harvest?

Railroad Commissioner
W. K. Srt/rridge of Black Rock
has conceded his defeat in the race
for . railroad commissioner from
Ytie Northeastern district. Geo.
VV. Bellamy of Mammoth Spring
is now conceded to be the winner
of the race, which has proven one
of the closest races of the recent
primary. For several days the
race hung in the balance, with
Surridge a little in the lead, but
later returns show Bellamy’s
election.
Mr. Surridge claims to have
carried more counties than Mr.
Bellamy and that he would have a
larger delegated vote in the con
vention, but that Bellamy had re
ceived a plurality of the votes and
that therefore he conceded Balla
my’8 election.
The vote in this county for rail
road commissioner was as follows
