An Old Section ot the Treaty.

The Hay-Herran canal treaty con tains one article that relates not only to Colombia, but to all the rest of Latin America as well. The article acknowledges the sovereignty of Co lombia oyer the six-mile-wide canal strip, and then it makes known the policy of the United States towards all other Spanish-American territory. We give the words of the treaty in this connection:
 "The United States freely acknowledges and recognizes the sovereignty and dis ayows any intention to impair 1t in any way whatever, or to increase It's terri tory at the expense of Colombia or of any of the sister republics of Central or South America, but, on the contrary, it desires to strengthen the power of the republics on this continent and to pro- mote, develop and maintain their pros perity and independence.
 No one questions this policy of the OnliCu 0bdICoy Dub u iltotJ WiIu SO- lombia, entered into for the purpose of acquiring some canal rights, is Q queer place in which to set forth a broad policy. Our business with Co., lombia relates to canal right-of-way "a mere business contract, and the 4s~.4 txx .f nItr i1afA tH- wards all the rest of South and Cen tral Americas is peculiar to say the least, and some one in the senate may inquire why the clause was inserted in the treaty.
 The article, if retained in its pres ent form, binds us all in honor to keep hands off no matter what cir cumstances may arise. It will be quot ed against us by all the Spanish-Amer- | ican countries, and by all others as well. Secretary Hay and Minister Her ran were not expected to deal with such far-reaching questions, and they have rendered it very embarrassing on the part of this country to strike l it out
 | AS it stands it is mistake not rn- l like that started by Senator Teller in the case of Cuba, and there is no req. son why Tellerism should be extended to the Horn. Article ". could be amended on the score that the ques tionable clause does not relate to the construction of canal, which Is the subject matter of the treaty.

Cartoon Upset Roosevelt.

"The Age-Herald is making decided hit with it's cartoons on President Roose- velt," said prominent man last night. "They are not a bit too rough, and I was glad to read Washington special to the New York Times in which 1t was stated that Roosevelt was much upset by the cartoon which represented him gleefully introducing an ambassador to negro woman at White House function. While the Times correspondent did not use the name of the Age-Herald, the descrip- tion was so full and accurate that it was readily recognized as the one entitled "Blackman's Prophecy Realized"

The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-10-06

Some months ago spectators, at
ter the cotton crop was practically
out of the hands of the farmers, ran
UP the price of the staple to ID and
IA cents and some of the spectators
made a pile of money. Now that the
new crop is coming in there is, as is
always the case at this season, talk
of a big crop, and as a result the
price is dropping down. The first
few bales brought IL cents but the
figures range about 10 now. 1t is a
dangerous thing to advise farmers
what to do about selling cotton and
the Landmark doesn't advise them.
But Mr. Asheley Horne, a prominent
citizen of the State and a prominent
farmer of Johnson County, has pub
lished a letter in which he argues
that the crop is going to be short,
the spectators and paid specialists
to the contrary Notwithstanding, and
Mr.. Horne advises farmers to sell no
cotton for less than ten cents and to
sell mighty little of it at that figure,
as he feels sure it is bound to adj
vance. The Landmarks opinion is
that the weight of the testimony is
with Mr.. Horne and this is one year
that farmers, unless compelled to
sell, should go slow unless they con
slider the price satisfactory.-States

Recognizing the Alliance in Nash.

ent boarded the train at Mebane and
was joined in Raleigh by Secretary
T. B. Parker, bound for Rocky
Mount. Here Mr.. Parker and my
self were met by the Hon. E. l..
Daughtridge and carried some two
miles over to Mr.. Daughtridge's
splendid home, where we Jared like
kings and priests. That same night
we met a goodly lumber of Edge
combe farmers in a nearby school
house, and brief talks we're made by
Mr.. Parker and Mr.. Daughtridge
and this writer, and / must say l
never heard more sound and logical
talks than the two first named gen
tlemen made. The result of this
meeting was a sub Alliance of some
thing near twenty members of the
very best and most progressive farm
ers of this county, with Mr. Daugh-
fridge as president.
From here we went back to Mr..
Daughtridge's and got his family
horse and a nice top buggy and spent
Wednesday in advertising, etc., and
Thursday we went over into Nash
County, and hat night we met a
number of farmers at W. d. JOY
ner's. Here Brother Parker did his
best and the outcome of this was a
Sub Alliance to be proud of. Friday
morning Brother Parker returned to
Raleigh, leaving the work in the
writer's hands. At 3 o'clock Friday
afternoon we had a great crowd at
Pullen's school house, and several
new members were added to the Sub
Alliance there. From here we went
to w. D. Dawes's store, some eight
miles south, and that night organ
lied another sub there of the best
class of people.
Saturday, 26th, we met a large
crowd at Sandy Cross. Here we sue
ceeded in organizing a Sub of some
twenty members of Nash County's
best farmers.
Wherever we go we find the best
of people and the kindest of treat
ment, and the farmers realizing the
need of organization. We hope to
spend the next two weeks in this
county and in Nash, and when we
leave here you may expect a good re-
port.
Mr. Daughtridge has been espe-
cially kind, and we would love to
speak of his magnificent home and
farm and fine cattle and big dairy,
ETC., but suffice it to say he is a sue
cessful farmer, a Christian gentle
man, and he and his good wife are a
blessing to the people of Edgecombe
County. And that horse, Prince
Henry, he is the pet of the family.
We drove him all the week, and de-
cided he ought to have a double D
tackled on to his name. If he was
a man he would be like his MASTER
every inch a gentleman.
I hereby return my thanks to all
the good people that have treated
Brother Parker and myself so kind
ly. l assure you that you will ever

PERMANENCY OF MANEuVERS.

The Henderson Route has made
Howard 5, one mile below West Point,
one of its regular stations and has
placed an agent there. At the side
of the track the road has built plat
form 1000 feet long for unloading
passengers and freight. Besides other
Improvements, two wells have been
put down by the road to provide
water for the soldiers who will partic-
ipate in tho maneuvers.
The Illinois Central railroad is m TX
ing arrangements to carry passengers
to the encampment, although its line
extends only to West Point. This
road is constructing curved switch
from is track to that of the Hender-
son Route at point below West
Point. BY this spur excursions and
extra freights from Louisville can be
backed up from Howard and :. turned
around to return to Louisville.
The Kentucky troops will be camped
Immediately south of the railroad,
within few yards of Howard Station.
They will be brigaded with the eighth
regiment from Ohio, which it was
announced Wednesday would be sent
to the maneuvers. Next to the. Ken
lucky soldiers on the south, and be-
tween them and division headquar-
tiers, will be located the Indiana
troops.
DR.. J. v Prewitt, of West Point,
stated Thursday that he is now con-
tident, from the statements of army
officers, that the maneuver grounds
at West Point will be recommended
for purchase by the government, and
the maneuvers will become perma-

mean much for Howard and West
Point and the Henderson Route and
the improvements the road is now
making at Howard will be permanent
and of benefit in future years.
