INTERESTING.

An event Of exceptional interest is
the future engagement at the Ken
lucky of "A Wise Woman" musi-
cal comedy farce in acts. 1t is said
that the instantaneous hit the piece
made has led to. the cancellation of
many one-night stands in which it was
booked so as to enable the manager to
accept contracts offered in the larger
cities. The engagement in this city
will be kept as Manager English has
an ironclad contract to this effect.

SUSPICIOUS CHARACTERS.
ROUTE AGENT ABBOTT THINKS
THEY MAY BE THE MEN
WANTED.

Route Agent O. J. Abbott, of the
American Express company, was at
the city hall and believes that two Of
the men arrested for sleeping in box
cars, and now serving fines. are men
wanted for blowing safes at various
small towns in Kentucky.
Two Of them were brought mp and
looked over and there is still smother,
but 1t has not yet oeen decided wheth-
err the men are the ones wanted or not.
There have been numerous burglsries
and safe blowings all over Kentucky
within the past few months, and the
express companies seldom escape.

One of the most remarkable explain
ations on record is that Of our esteem
ed morning contemporary in regard to
its position on the state primary ques.
tion. It declares it was the first paper
in the state to advocate state prima-
ry held under the law as laid down in
the statutes of Kentucky, provided
'that the law could be SO amended as
TO put the expense on the state" Now
IL paper wants to fasten the expense
of a party primary on the taxpayers
OF the state, instead Of the politicians
who are ont scrambling for the nom
nations, and on whom il should fall,
it has a perfect right to do SO, but
such a suggestion seems 9 little
strange coming from champion of
the people. Our contemporary at
tempts to further explain that it cited
"thst q nomination by such method
(primary) meant an election. Now
it may mean that in the opinion of
some, but we do not believe that the
nomination of Democrats for Office in
Kentucky necessarily means any such
thing. There have been times when
Democrats were defeated in the state,
but even il il did mean election, that
is no reason that the taxpayers Of the
state should be compelled to stand the
expense of Democratic primaries, as
well as the regular elections. There
are some other people in Kentucky be-
sides Democratic office holders and
wonld-be Office holders, and the tax
payers are not responsible for the fact
that there are 50 many pothouse Dem.
ocrats scrapping with each other for
nominations and are not interested TO
the extent that they want to, or should
be made to. pay the expenses Of find
ing out which ones Of them shall make
the race. Let those who dance pay
the fiddler.

pany at Sixth and Madison streets was
burned out the result of carelessness
ON part of the Independent linemen.
II Was only a few days ago that 76
phones were burned out from a cross
wire on West Tennessee street. The
linemen had strung one Of their wires
across a trolley feed wire and let 1t
down on the Cumberland cable. The
wires in the cable were melted to-
gether and several dozen phones burn
ed out as result. The Cumberland
people had just finished stringing a
new cable at that point, Sixth and
Madison streets, and were ready to cut
it in. This is all that saved them an
impaired system for two weeks, prob
ably. 1t is charged that the linemen
are not careful and the Cumberland
people, it is understood, will make the
contractors pay damages. The damage
will amount to considerable.

SOMETHING WORTH
REMEMBERING.

A Louisville minister, in speaking
Of civic pride and some Of the reasons
there are so many backward cities in
America, says: ~ 4-l.e $50
"Nor will we get much forward in
this noble civic enterprise until we
can manage to find two or three, or
mAybeta score, of our most prominent
and capable men who will be, willing
, to sacrifice their money, business and
reputation to the public good. The
reason that worthless men NIL our mu-
nicipal offices is that our men of worth
are either too selfish or too cowsrdly
TO run the risk Of political defeat.
II is only in America, or in Amer
lea chiefly, that we put the riff.raff
over our heads to rule rs. They do
things better than this abroad, and
they did it best Of all in old pagan
Greece and Rome. And we are only
half ashamed Of our failure. We are
so used to il that we are hardened and

pleased if the rain would stay off a
week or so until he could save his fod-
der. But he is visited daily by show
ers, and some of them large enough
to overflow the largest bitches, and
therefore his patience is taxed to its
utmost. Some fellow comes along and
offers a consolation by telling him
that everything happens for the best,
but that is something he can't under
stand, and therefore he is left in a
puzzled condition.
Some reader will likely laugh at US
III our trouble over fodder pulling, a
thing which they consider very much
out of date. We have read a good
many articles advising farmers to
stop pulling fodder, and purchase
shredders and thereby convert the
stalk and fodder into frst-class hay.
Well, we believe the advice is good,
for we are in favor of anything that
will lesson the labor on the farm, and
at the same time add increased profits
to the farmers credit. But the little
farmer is not able to buy a shredder
and the large farmer will not buy one,
and We will have to pull fodder.
This has been the best peach crop
for many years; not many apples. 1t

potatoes recently planted will rot

FARM NOTES FROM PAsoUOTANK
COUNTY.
GEO. A. MOZART.

Cor. of The Progressive Farmer.
The drought that lasted from the
first of April to the latter part of
July, vas broken by good showers the
last day of July, to the JOY and delight
of farmers all over the county. I'm
fortunately we had nothing to deter
mine the number of inches of water
that fell during the four months be-
ginning the first of April and ending
the latter part of July, but there is
no doubt that there was as little fell
as has ever fallen in a corresponding
period of time. Still crops held up
amazingly well; our cotton appeared
to have all the rain it needed, and our
corn suffered very little.
But what can a poor farmer do? He
can't make it rain, nor can he make it
stop raining. All the time he was
working his crop he wished for rain
and didn't get it. And now the time
has come when he must save his fod-
der o or never; really his CROPS

ARACHEL's INTEREST IN FARMING.
In BE the Sheep VS.. the DOg-HOw AraChel
Failed TO Join the Grange.

Cor. of The Progressive Farmer.
In a recent number of your paper,
there was an article on sheep raising
and dogs. The writer was bewailing
the destruction of sheep by dogs, and
seemed to wish that some one would
give a remedy for this evil. Here is
one: Let US have one General AS
sembly composed entirely of members
every one of whom will have no desire
for a reelection. Let them pass a
law requiring a heavy %capitation tax
on all dogs except those of a very
tiny breed. Let it be required that
every owner of a taxable dog shall pay
this tax on or before a specified day,
and the failure to do this will cause
the death of the dogs by a lawful Off
Ger. Then we shall have sheep.
I am no farmer, but l take great
pleasure in reading The Progressive
Farmer. I tried to join the Patrons
of Husbandry nearly thirty years ago;
but / was rejected. They were willing
to pass over the fact that l was not
a farmer; but they objected strenu-
ously to one of the answers I gave in
a printed blank form of questions,
which constituted my application for
membership. The question was this:
"For what purpose do you wish to be-
come a member of this Order? 2" or
words to hat effect. Ny answer, writ
ten in my best handwriting, was: "Be-
cause l want to save money by it."
That swamped me, though the man
who announced to me the result of
my application, would not answer this
question which I put to him: "Well,
tell me why did you join?" I suppose
this bars me forever from becoming a
member of any agricultural organiza-
ton. So be it. But you farmers can
not prevent me from liking you and
your work.
Grass grows lush in Eastern North
Carolina, Notwithstanding that the
~up-country farmers say we can't raise
hay. And we can raise thousands of
cattle down here, if we really wanted
to do it. Crab grass seeds itself-and
will patiently wait for years, to grow
abundantly, if you let the ground
alone long enough to let it grow.
But l must stop, for if any farmer
reads this article, I am afraid he will
be tempted to say: "That fellow
don't know anything about what he is
writing"-and this may very likely
be the truth.
Wishing you much success (and you
deserve it, Mr. Editor), I am
