ner in Which the Press of the State
Has Been Treated by the Politicians
With Regard to a Just and Fair
Libel Law.

The report that libel suits are TO
be brought against the Charlotte 3D.
Scrccr, and the Greensboro news
paprs, the Record and Telegram, would
Indicate that the State press was
surely in a prosperous condition and
in a position to give up some Of its
easily acquired wealth.
The above three newspapers. with
the Wilmington STIR, make a
uuartcttc being sued for libel at the
present time. and while not knowing
the charge against the first three, the
Journai feels sure, knowing the
character of the editors, that the
charge is probably as ridiculous and
uniustifiable, for a libel suit, as that
brought against the STIR.
The WilkcsborO Chronicle has the
following regarding the Press As
sociation and the resolutions adopted,
expressive of its sentiment Of the
matter at it, last meeting:
The StatesvlIe Landmarh and
some other papers are Of the opinion
that the resolutions adopted by the
Press Association concerning the
libel law and the unfair treatment ac-
corded the press by the last Legisla-
tIIrc. are too mild and will have little
effect. This scribe was a member OF
the committee appointed to draft the
resolutions, and although the rcso.u-
tons are not 80 strong as we per
sonallv would have recommended,
vet il wa, the sense Of the committee
to make them as conservative as
possible, thinking it better, should
there be error at all, to err on the
conservative side. But having learned
the sentiments of the brethren of the
Press. pretty thoroughly, we can re-
mind the politicians that 1T is useless
for them to assume that there is
nothing in it because Of the mildneSs
Of the resolutions. The brethren were
never more united or determined on
any question. There is a stronger
and more determined feeling than APP
pears on the face Of the resolutions. >
Passing resolutions of Il Condem-
natory character, simply amounts to
nothing unless the full force of the
Press backs such resolutions up and
carries them out to the fullest extent.
Those members of the Legislature
who opposed the libel bill introduced
by the Press, expected 'wOrdS and
words" for their action on the mat
ter, but so long as only words and
resolutions are fired at them, no
future Legislative committee is going
to De afraid to repeat the precedent
established by the Legislature of
1899, namely, in refusing to recognize
the Press of North Carolina if it so
cares.
The conservatism exhibited by
the Legislature in dealing with the
Press is enough to prove to the latter
that the day for conservatism in
treating with politicians is past, and
a fair give and take fight will prove
the true course for the North Carolina
Press to pursue if it wants to be
recognized and get its just dues on
matters pertaining to its welfare and
progress. New Bern J0urnul

Many diseases Of the sugar beet are

beet culture has long been an important
industry and already some diseases have
become CT consequence III this country.
There are at least three in the state OF
New York, to which Professor B. F.
Duggar has been devotin9 attention,
and under the title, "Three Important
Fungous Diseases of the Sugar Beet
(buIletin 1G3. Cornell), he publishes the
results Of his investigations.
Beet rect rot was first brought to
Professor Duggar's attention as disease
of small extent in the vicinity of Bing-
hamton. 1t was afterward reported
from several other places, but has not
yet proved common. 1t may be the
same trouble that has several times
been very destructive to the sugar beet
industry in Germany. The first evil

ner In 1890 Professor Thaxter discov-
cred that potato scab is caused by the
growth on the surface of the tuber of a
fungus which he named Oospora scabies
The remedy cannot consist in this in
stance in the treatment of the seed,
since the seed do not disseminate the
disease, nor can it consist in the treat
ment of the land, since the experiments
with Inning, sulphuring, etc, have not
given satisfactory results. The only
course open, then, is the one of avoiding
for the growth of beets any soil which
during several years previous has pro-
duced scabby beets.
