GRUMBLiNC.

Farmers have the reputation for be-
ing the greatest of grumblers. Nothing
goes right with them Too much rain,
or no rain small crops when good ones
were expected, and they see only dis
aster ahead. The fact is that we are
all inclined TO worry too much The bust
ness of farming, it is true, is subject to
many chances beyond the control OF the
farmer and he often worries when the
weather is not just what he would like
it to be. But We must remember that
it is worry, and not hard work that
kills people, o. Injuries their health and
destroys their happiness. When We are
conscious that have done all in our
power to make the crops a success. let
us leave the result to Him who has
promised that scedtime and harvest
shall not fail The habit of looking al
ways on the bright side makes a man
happier himself and makes those
around him happier. The grumbler is
a nuisance to all about him, and there
is nothing that tends 50 much to make
the young people on the farm dissatis-
fed with their life a. the everlasting
grumbling Of the father. Much OF this
grumbling is due to the fact that the
farmer does rot know as much IS he
should to make his farming success.
We often hear it said OF a man that
everything he touches succeeds Does
he succeed by chance? Study the sue
cessful man, and you will soon see that
his success comes from the diligent
study OF his profession. whatever th2t [
may be- The successful lawyer is such
because he mas learned all that he can
about Law and applies the knowledge in
his practice. The merchant succeeds
because he keeps posted in ali that per
tains 20 his business, and is ready al
ways to give q reason for every invest
nent he makes. In like manner the
most successful farmer mot the man
who by mere grinding economy saves up
money while going along in the old rutsJ,

FARMING IN GEORGIA.

On the first OF October the editor had
the pleasure 10 address a meeting o.
some OF the most intelligent farmers Of
Georgia at the wheat and Oats Fair
at Athens. Some OF the enterprising
business men of Athens annually offer
premiums in gold for the best crops of
small grain in order to encourage more
diversified farming among1Sthe cotton

their work. The best crop of wheat was
made by d p. +. subscriber, Mr.. a. J.
Baxter. of High Shoals. Ga, whose crop
was 314 bushels per acre. Mr.. b. also
carried off the highest prize for oats,
with nearly "a bushels per acre while
those who captured the lower prizes
were not far behind. Mr. Baxter in
conversation with the editor said: "All

that he has succeeded perfectly III gath

| myself, and | feel warranted In
speaking for at least fifty members of
the American Settlers Association,

ing to Hawaii but feel 1t disgrace to
be classed with the so-called Republi
can party VI Hawaii, say:
That | endorse each ana every word
and sentiment expressed in Mr.. Wise's
letter. We could find some excuse for
President Mckinley in appointing Mr..
Dole as first Governor Of the Territory
of Hawaii in view OF all the circum-
stances surrounding annexation, he
| (Dole) having been the President of
the so-called Republic which was in
truth and in fact nothing less than an
oligarchy with Dole as dictator. II
all the foremost Republicans OF the
Mainland should come here and by its
most able and eloquent champions (of
which | consider yourself par-excel-
lence) try to PERSUADE us that II Is to
our benefit. or that II is our duty to
join with the so-called Republicans of
Hawaii we could only laugh at your
ignorance of the vile deeds done, In Ha-
wall, in the name OF the great Republi-
can party OF the United States in these
Islands since annexation. We were
shocked, even Inundated, when Gov
ernor Dole came back from Washing
ton lately, endorsed by President
Roosevelt, to the effect that: Dole was
entitled to the confidence Of the ad-
ministration."
l am confident that Mr.. Wilcox will
be returned as Delegate to Congress at
the coming election; elected (practi-
cally) by loyal Republican American
citizens in Hawaii as a standing pro-
test against the very things mentioned
In Mr.. Wise's letter and TO show to the
world, to the Republican party on the
Mainland and to President Roosevelt
and his advisers that loyal American
citizens and true Republicans refuse tC

Washington, Sept. IA. - A splendid
resme OF what has been accomplished
BY foreign navies In the last fiscal year
is to be found in Notes on Naval
Progress" made public today by Cap.
tain Charles ID. Sigsbee, Chief OF the
Naval Intelligence Bureau.
1t says in part: The construction
Of ships for the fleets of the leading
naval powers has gone on actively dur.
ing the past year, and the new esti.
mates show either an adherence to a
we'll defined program for steady in
ton as. the present financial condition
OF the various countries warrant.
While there has been no marked
change in the design OF ships, the ten.
dency has been toward greater dis.
placement in battleships and armored
cruisers, better protection and the
massing of guns of the second caliber
in a central citadel instead Of separat-
ing them In easements"
II Is declared that there is urgent
need for quick-fring high-power guns
well protected by armor OF the highest
resisting quality, and Cervera's Ill.
starred rush out of Santiago harbor is
cited as a tragic illustration of the
dangers of poorly protected gun posi-
tions.
Renewed interest in good shooting
was displayed in the British Navy the

been made by the Terrible and the

THE PlOUS FUND.
The International Arbitration Tribunal
HAS Formally Organized.
HISTORY OF THE CLAIM AGAINST MEXICO.

The Hague, Sept. 5.-The interna-
tional arbitration tribunal which is to
decide the Pious fund claims case be-
tween the Unified States and Mexico
met today and formally organized. The
arguments will be begun about ten
days hence. Those in attendance are
Sir Edward Fry, of England, and F. De
Martens, of Russia, arbitrators for the
United States; T. N C. Asser and Saw
orin Lohnmann, of Holland, arbitrators
for Mexico, and counsel Wno will CON
duct the arguments for the two par
ties to the dispute. The American coun-
sci consists of Judge William l.. Pen
field. solicitor of the state department;
Jackson II. Ralston, agent for the
United States; Waiter S Penfield and
Henry V. krmes, assistant counsel.
The CathoHc church in America, which
is vitally interested in the case, is rep
resented by Archbishop Rordan, OF
San Francisco, and Garret McEnerney,
the aTchbishop's attorney.
Aside from any importance attached
to the Pious fund claims case in itself
the proceedings of the tribunal will be
watched with closest attention all over
the civilized world for the reason that
the case is the first to be tried under
the provisions of the International ar
bitration agreement formulated by The
Hague peace conference.
! The history of the Pious fund goes
/ back to 1897, when it was started in
order to enable the Jesuit missionaries
/ to carry on their work in what is now
/ sew Mexico and California. When the
Jesuits were expelled from the Span
/ ish dominions in 1861 the fund was
seized by the crown and put in the
/ hands OF the FranCiscans. Later, when
: Mexico won her independence, the
trust of the Pious fund was transferred
from Spain to the Republic. In 1872
Mexico sold the properties constitut,
ing the fund and put the proceeds in
the treasury, stipulating, however, to
pay TO the church authorities per
cent in perpetuity on the capital
When. by the treaty of Queretaro, Up
per California was ceded 10 the United
States, Mexico ceased 10 pay its share
of the interest on the fund, and in
1868 the church authorities made a
claim on Mexico for the interest for
twenty-one years The case was de-
cided against Mexico and the republic
paid over to the church the sum OF
SSu4.7OO. No further payments were
made. however, and now Archbishop
Riordan. on behalf Of the church, is
pressing his claim for interest since

The offense was committed about four
months ago, while the defendant was
acting as extra conductor on a train
running from Albuquerque to Gallup.
At the little station of Alaska, a
point about seventy miles west of this
city, a car loaded with household
goods was burned. Woodward is
charged with having taken a sewing
machine saved from the burning car
and sold it to Indian Agent Smith al
San Rafeal
c. Selvy. special agent for the Santa
Fe, got wind of the deal and Smith
was arrested for receiving stolen
property. Smith gave information that
caused the arrest of Woodward.
The offense is quite serious, and If
the charge is proven Woodward will
get a term in the penitentiary.
