THE PRESIDENTS APPEAL FOR JUSTICE
TO CUBA.

On Friday, 18th, President Roose-
welt sent a special message to Congress
emphasizing his views on Cuban reci-
procity. We take the following ex-
PLANTATION and comment from the
Charlotte Observer:
President Roosevelt yesterday sent
to Congress an exceedingly strong
message, urging hat reciprocity con-
c~essions be made to Cuba. In this
matter the public will likely see a test
of strength between what is just and
right, backed by the usual great in
fuence of the administration whose
political adherents are in supreme
control of all departments of the gov
eminent, and the protective idea az
held by many of the leading Republi-
can members of Congress.
The anti-concessionists apparently
hoped to find material in the assertion
that Gen. Wood contributed money to
lobby for Cuban reciprocity for bring
ing to their aid those who were in
clined to favor a measure of aid to the
young republic. This, however, bad
as it appeared, could only be a make
shift for the financial support given
the lobby out of the funds of the is
land has nothing in the world to do
with the justice of the claim that the.
struggling republic has upon the.
United States. The fact that set the
island free is no excuse why we should
leave it unable to help itself. Should
the United States Congress adjourn
without making some provision for
the sale of the products of the island
it would be like releasing a man from
a prison where he could at least exist
and placing him upon a desert where
he would be free, but unable to live.
The language of President Roose-
velt's appeal to Congressman the
message in effect is an appeals ex-
~cellent, and the statement that the
President sent this message in de
fance of the advice of leading men
who feared that it would injure him
politically makes it more to be ad-
mired. But then, whatever is said of
Roosevelt, it may be repeated that he
is afraid of neither bodily injury or
political influence. He is = -trong
Ch11 acter. the rOcartaiD+v q ~ WI Of
turn the display of that strength is
likely to take. That it has taken the
proper course in the present instance
there is no room for doubt, and the
honor of the United States is involved
in the result of this test.

TRUCKING NEWS.

Raleigh, June 14-Commissioner
Patterson, of the Agricultural Depart
ment, issues an important summary of
the trucking conditions in North Car
DINA and Virginia, showing North
Carolina results from crops is crafty
ing, with bright prospects in contin-
uance, owing to the poor Virginia
showing.
The following extract shows the
poor Virginia conditions: Bean crop
about Norfolk now being marketed is
short one-third normal acreage; ship
ments over in a few days; dry weather
affected the crop; cabbage season
about over, yield 40 per cent below
average, acreage normal; dry weather
accounts for shortage. Potatoes, crop
increase acreage 10 per cent, but yield
but so per cent of average crop; dry
weather ruined the prospects; very
few dug. Cucumber acreage about
normal, yield 25 per cent off; rain
would improve prospects. Truckers
about Norfolk are blue over the out
look.

for the rich to support schools for the
poor, then it is a thousandf Did more
needful for the good to support insti-
buttons for the reformation cf the
bad. Churches are reformatories on
a grand scale. They depead on the
free gifts of those already saved, for
the building of their houses, and upon
the grace of God for filing them with
hearers. IF a church so far forgels
that it's mission is to save. and seeks
by ostentation and secular influence
to build itself up, then it ceases to be
a church of God, and becomes a world
ly institution, often excluding from
it's doors the poor to whom the Gospel
is preached-preached by those who
are willing to seek in the highways and
hedges for the wandering lost ones
Why send missionaries to preach to
the heather, and neglect the children
about us?
If compulsory education becomes a
law, then the loafng boy will have to
go to school n how. Who is going
to feed and clothe him?

GRAIN AND FERTILIZER DRILL.

Looking on past the harvest to seed
ing time, one of the really good things
u advertising columns contain is the
Spangler Low Down Grain and Fertil-
izer Drill. It must be acknowledged
that the Spangler Drill is standard. 1t
has been in use for a long series of
years, being perfected from year to
year as anything desirable has sug-
gested itself, until now when it would
seem it leaves little to be desired. It
drills to a proper depth all the grains,
sows all grass seed and distributes
evenly all fertilizers in quantities
ranging from 60 to 700 pounds to the
acre. Force feed is employed, not on
ly upon the fertilizer distributor. but
upon the drilling and grass sowing as
well, securing uniform work in each
of its individual duties. We are show
ing a cut herewith, which, however.
can convey but a faint idea of the in
g~eniOus utility of the drill in it's work.
Readers should look up the advertise
ment and write the Spangler Mfg. Co..
York, Pa, for their catalogue and full
information. They may be assured to
start with that they will be setting
about the purchase of one of the most
serviceable implements for seeding
time that the market affords.
