Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1899-02-11
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY II, 1899.
Entered at the Postoffice at Accomac
G. H., Va, as second-class matter.

The treaty of peace with Spain was
ratified by the constitutional two-
thirds vote in the Senate last Mon
day. Its rejection was assured until
the news was received of the fight at
Manila and the wholesale slaughter
of several thousands of the savages of
that Island. The glory of such an
achievement seems to have turned
the heads of two statesmen of the
South, McLaurin and McEnery, and
made them willing to vote for the
treaty and give it the bare majority
it received. They voted for it too,
with a protest against expansion on
their lips, knowing as they must have
done, as clearly set forth by Mr.. Hale
in speech in the Senate few days
ago, that ratification meant eApan-
sion and expansion meant the an
neXation OF the Philippines. Missis-
sippi and Louisiana. which they so
grossly misrepreSented by their votes
for the treaty ought to see to it in the
future, that they are statesmen
without job
The victory of our forces at Manila,
OF course, is gratifying to all Ameri-
cans. but that the conflict might have
been avoided, and could have been,
but for the course pursued by our
Government towards the Filipinos
cannot be denied. 1t is cause for just
pride, of course, on our part that
American prestige was maintained in
the fight but that our Governn ent
made the conflict possible by buying
at 50 per head, men whom they had
treated as allies and by claiming as
subjects" as Mr.. Mckinley did in a
recent proclamation, men whom we
had led to believe that American
triumph meant independence for
them cannon be approved by us.
That men who professed to see the
evils of expansion. as McLaurin and
McEnery did, should by their votes
be willing to approve them and there.
by commit this Government to a
further departure from it's time
honored principles cannot be too
severely condemned. Other Senators
may have erred, in believing that the
present policy OF our Government to-
wards the Philippines Island was
right. They, disregarding their
honest convictions, voted for the
treaty. and therefore for expansion
and annexation Of the Islands.

COMMISSIONER KOINER
Writes q Letter That is IS Applicable
to Virginia as to Georgia.

In the semi-weekly Atlanta Journal
of yesterday appears the following
letter from Mr.. G. W. Koiner, Com
missioner of Agriculture of Virginia:
You have my sympathy in endeav.
oring to aid the depressed farmers OF
your State. l regret that | have not
time just now to write you o full artl-
Gle on the subject of suggestions to
the farmers of Georgia. There is no
question that Georgia farmers must
diversity their crops if they ever eX-
pect to pull up on solid ground i'll the
way of prosperity.
Plant some fruit every year of va
rieties that do well in the healthy
locality where the farmer lives. On
the selection of the right variety de
ponds success in this direction. Ma
ture has given man fruits for sandy
soils, red clay soils. gravely soils.
There are many kinds of grasses
which grow in the same way, suited
for certain soils.
Let the farmers OF Georgia raise
some stock Begin in small way
with few hogs, Il few sheep, a few
COWS. These cut down the store bills
wonderfully. Poultry raising shoot
holes through store bill. The farmer
buys too much from the stores. He
must, because he neglects to raise
many things that will supply what
he must buy from the stores. Many
farmers lose money, or rather waste
the opportunity to make money, by
not growing the crop suited for the
different soils on his farm. One field
will make more money cultivated in
corn than other crops. Another field
will do well for cotton. Another piece
of ground will make money put in
vegetables of proper selections. The
farmer must think over these points,
and use his mind in farming just us
much as his muscles. Head farming
pays as well as hand farming. The
farmer who is making money has
quit carrying all his eggs in one bas-
ket. In brief, diversity, all along the
line Of farming. Grow more stock,
buy less from the stores, pay more
cash every year until it is all paid in
cash. BY all means send the boys
and girls to school all winter. If TIE
farmers children are not educated
what will the future farmer in Geor.
gia be? An ignoramus, helpless and
miserable altogether. On the other
hand, with energy, economy and in
telligence comes prosperity, with lis
attendant comforts, independence
happy homes, educated yeomanry
worthy sons of q glorious ancestry.
Success to grand old Georgia is the
earnest wish of G.. w. KoINER,
Commissioner Agriculture, Va.

Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1899-02-11

Three important meetings of min-
listers and leading laymen of the Viz
GINA Methodist Conference will be
held at Richmond on the 18th OF
February, at Norfolk on the 22d, and
at Lynchburg on the Goth. The pur~
pose is to start publicly in Virginia a
movement in which Methodists the
world over are participating in prep
aration for the part which that or
ganization is expecting to have in the
supreme effort of the General Church
to christianize the whole world in the
twentieth century. The Methodists
of the United States are great PEG
pie and have a right to be grateful
for their wonderful success. We bid
the sons of Wesley Godspeed. An
article, giving the particulars of the
movement, is published elsewhere in
our columns.
