SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1908.

The peoples executive commit
tee have held their annual meet
ing, and set Tuesday Dec. 9Th at
2 p. m. for the ward primary and
the following evening, Dec. 9th,
at 7. p. m. for the city conven-
tion.
The Enterprise has never
thought we'll of this plan of Sc
lecting city officers, but as we are
interested only in securing the
best, safest and most economical
business men to manage the city's
affairs, we have no disposition at
this time to inaugurate or even
participate in open opposition to
the caucus plan.
A white primary comes more
nearly to our idea of settling this
question than anything we have
ever seen tried. The caucuses
always offer opportunities for
manipulation, and the defeat of
the will of the majority, although
the opportunity may not always
be used, This we trust, will be
the case next week.
Every man who participates in
the caucuses is of course COM
mitted to the candidates select
ed and should feel bound by the
result of the convention.
1t is unfair for a man to go in
toany scheme and because he finds
himself in a minority and his will
defeated to oppose the action
of the majority.

noon the bar and court officials
paid very high tribute to Judge
David M. Roberts, of the Oconee
circuit, who had presided during
the week.
The meeting was presided
over by Judge A. M. Raines Of
the city court, and Mr.. r. r.
Marlin acted as secretary. After
a few remarks by Judge J. G.
Parks Messrs. M. c.. Edwards,

appointed a committee to draft
suitable resolutions, showing the
esteem in which Judge Roberts

manner in which he has dispatch.

2. That we are impressed
with the ever calm and dispas-
sionate mind exhibited by him
during the whole of his stay with
us, whether in social conversation
or whether in his own peculiarly
unostentatious way, displaying
his broad and comprehensive
knowledge of the principles of
law applicable to the entangling
legal propositions which it be-
comes necessary for him to pass
upon.
3. That we congratulate the
people of the Oconee circuit in
having been so fortunate as to
reap the benefit fudge Roberts
services on the bench during the
long number Of years that he has

The Chemistry Bureau of the De-
partment of Agriculture is having
trouble with its experiments on hui
man food authorizations. Several
young men were engaged to go on
a prescribed diet of a~dulterated
foods to allow the chemists to de-
termine to what extent they might
be deleterious for human consump-
ton. Now it seems that mind has
more effect than matter. One of the
subjects is growing thin on the diet
through constant worry over the eff
feet it is going to have on his con-
stitution, and another one who does
not believe the authorizations contain
anything injurious eats heartily and
is growing fat. Cold science will
have a hard time to draw any use
full deductions.

blotted,
/ gave him a new one all unspotted,
And into his sad eyes smiled,
"Do better now, my child"

The old year was done;
"Dear Father, hast Thou a new leaf
for me?

And gave me a new one, all I'M
spotted,
And into my sad heart smiled,

Gardens and Fertilizers.
Continued from Page 1.)

CONTINUED from Page -
commercial fertilizers is that farm
ers have gotten into the habit of
using them alone and have burnt up
all the humus in their soil so that the
little dribble of fertilizer they do use
has not the effect it would have if
the misunderstanding organic mat
ter was in the soil. Hence the more
manure a man makes at home and
the more organic matter he gets into
his soil through the growing of peas
and other legumes, the more heavily
and proftably he can use the COM
mercial fertilizers.
Our Southern gardeners and farm
ers both will come after a while to
realize the great profit there is in in
tensive cultivation and heavy fertil-
ization. Get the land rich in organic
matter with stable manure and re-
operative crops and you can make
the heavy application of fertilizers
pay, while you cannot make it pay
on dead poor land with a little drib-
bic of some brand of fertilizers. Good
farming, the growing of forage and
the feeding of stock are the mean
through which the intensive farmer
and trucker will get his land to re-
spond to heavy applications of con-
centrated fertilizers. The perma-
nent improvement of the soil must
go hand in hand with the increased
use of commercial fertilizers on that
soil. When a man can take an old
garden and get as much out of an
acre of it as most farmers get from
their farms,is it not time to look into
the matter of intensive culture2 You
cannot take a dead poor piece of
land and get big crops by piling the
fertilizers on it, but if you have an
old garden spot that has become I'M
productive though heavily MANFRED,
that is the place where you can apply
all the commercial fertilizer you
please and make it pay. And the les
son the old MANFRED garden teaches
can be we'll carried to the farm. Com
mercial fertilizers will enrich you
if you enrich your land, but if you
use them merely to squeeze a little
more out of the farm to sell, they
will make you poor and your farm
poorer. Get the old garden condi-
tions as near as possible on the farm,
and then do not be afraid to pile on
the fertilizers with a lavish hand.
