PRIMARY ELECTION CALLED.
County Democratic Committee Decide en-
November so aa the Date.

Pursuant to call issued by Chair
man d. G. Hudson, the County
Democratic Executive COMMITTEES
met here last Monday.
The vacancies on the COMMITTEES
were supplied as follows:
w. F. Harrison, in the second
district; George w. Baker, in TIE
eighth; j. j. Cole, in the twelfGk.
Il. Hsrdin was elected committee
man for the tfteenth district.
After some discussion of the sdIs-
jectof calling a primary election to
nominate candidates for countyecf-
fee, it was unanimously decidedly
the committee to call an early pri-
mary, and Saturday, November 30.
was agreed upon as the date to hold
the primary election.
Since the introduction of the
primary in the county it has been
customary for the Democrats to Sc
lect time in the late winter or early
spring to nominate candidates for
county office. AS a resultthe. cam
paigns have been attended with all
the discomforts Of the usual disa-
greeable weather of mid-winter
For the same reason it has often
been the case that many voters were
prevented from attending the pri-
mary and a full and fair expression
of the party was not obtained. This
and other reasons Of more import
ance to the Democracy at this time
influenced the committee to depart
from the custom of waiting until
the first of the year to take action.
This action of the committee has
met with general approval. The
candidates have three months in
which to make kuown their wants,
and they will doubtless inaugugate
a lively canvass at once.

Prof. J. A. Baber of the Bowling
Green Normal College is getting
many of his former pupils. / have
known Mr.. Baber for more than &
decade, and was his pastor fveyears.
He is gentleman of the first water
and a true Christian. He is kind
and affable, correct in his business
methods, and spurns even the least
shade of falsehood. Our relation
with Bro. Baber has been as close as
it is possible for two men to be, and
that for FIVE years, he as deacon
and | as pastor. Hence / know
whereof I speak. His equal as &
man, Christian, a gentleman, a
scholar and instructor can not be-
excelled in the South. He is a
man of wonderful power, and will
be of great worth to any school
with which he is connected. Par
ents can rely absolutely on all he
says or writes, and all the promises
he may make. My best wishes and
good prayers shall follow them
wherever they go. I have written
this upon my owR responsibility
and without their knowledge o.
consent 1t is all truth.-Rev. w.

American farmer in an interview de-
failing some of the new products that
he hopes to see successfully raised in
the United States. So proud is he OF
the results already obtained that he
predicts "that this country, within a
few months, will be in position TO ig-
more every other nation on the globe
in the matter of food products. "
Continuing, he puts the chip on the
shoulder by asserting that when
ever we get ready, we can come pretty
near starving any other nation.
Therefore. an effective combination
against US will be an imPossibility. "
Giving specific instances OF pro-
ducts that he expects to become
staple American products. he lays
chief stress on sugar. BY next fall
there will be 40 Ueet-sugar factories
in operation. These factories will be
situated in nearly every state along
the northern border from New York
to California. Increasing growth of
this industry, the secretary holds.
will kill the sugar trust. However.
that rem aims to be seem
Two tons of tea were grown in
South Carolina last year. The forma
ton of a New York Syndicate that has
bought 8 ZOO acres on which to raise
tea leads the secretary to believe that
in few years no tea will be pur-
chased from China or Japan. The
cultivation of rice has been increasing
in Texas. The grade of cotton is be-
ing raised by crossing with finer
grades. At present much of the best
cotton is imported from Egypt.
Perhaps the head of the agricul-
tural department is q little hasty in
announcing that this country can ig-
more the rest of the world within q
few months. The products which he
enumerates are for the greater part
imported at the present time. Even
with the most favorable progress,
years will elapse before iEportations
will cease. Especially Is he weak in
the sugar branch of his prophesying.
Mr.. Wilson has failed to take into
account one feature of this growth of
new products. They will have to be
raised with greater profit than the
old farm products When corn can
be exported to Europe at the present
high prices the United States can well
afford to pay for tea from Japan. In
ternational trade is maintained only
while mutual profits are made.
Actual independence of the rest OF
the world is position enjoyed by
few peoples. Sooner or later this will
come to pass. AS Mr.. Wilson says,
no trade alliance wi be possible.
Tariff restrictions cannot prevent for
any length of time the natural course
of commerce. But batter than all the
offensive action that may be taken by
Europe is the assurance that the
United States can get along in one
way or another without importing a
single pound OF food from the outside.
