Sugar Beets in OREGON.

1t has been demonstrated at La
Grande this year, as ii has been at
Waverly. that it pays to raise sugar
beets. The Oregon factory has had
a good season. and the farmers who
have supplied it with raw material
have realized handsome profits. It
is estimated that the beet farmers
dealing with the establishment at La
Grande have netted sos. 900 this year,
and. with such returns TO a single
branch of agriculture work, the mum.
Der of men and acreage given over
TO this industry ought to increase
rapidly.
In Oregon. as in Washington, there
seems to have been in the beginning
a reluctance 10 cultivate the beet
II was hard TO get farmers to give
up wheat. which required attention
only at certain periods of the year, in
favor of the sugar beet, which de-
mands closer cultivation. 1t meant
more work. and, as it was in the ma
ture of an experiment. the conserva
tive husbandman hesitated about ven
turing into new fields.
The results OF beet raising have
been encouraging. however. and with
each successive year the acreage has
been larger. This year much more
land in Oregon was sown to beets anC
the yield is said to have been so pei
cent greater than in 1902. The re
turns to the farmers have been sat
i%sfactory. and the factory itself has
been able to make money. or course
there have been disappointments, but
as is usually the case, these have beer
due to carelessness and lack of cult
walton. Where the beets have beer
given proper attention there has beer
neithr a failure of crop nor of goot
profits to the beet farmer. In fact
the results have generally been S,
satisfactory that more farmers are go
ing into beet raising. so that il will
probably not be long before the fac
tories are supplied with all the raw
material they can use-somethinI
they have been unable to obtain u
10 the present time.-Spokesman Re

IL Is Up 70 the Doctor.

A lady wrote us a few weeks ago
from Winchester, Va, that she had
been under a doctors care for four
years for dyspepsia; the pain appear
ed to center under her left shoulder
blade, and was so severe at times
that she could neither eat nor sleep.
She had lost faith In her home doc.
tor. and asked us to send her a sample
OF our DR.. Gums Improved Liver
Pills. which had been recommended
to her. We sen her two pills. in d
few days she sent for a box. Now she
writes that the pain under her Shout
der has left her entirely. she enjoys
her meals and Eve sleeps less than
eight hours every night, and this has
all come about in two weeks, and
cost her so cents for two boxes Of
pills. Says the doctor charged her
$4,000 and that she told him he had
better take the $4,000 and invest IL
all in DIR. Gums Improved Liver Pills
and build up his practice. We have
not received the doctors order yet,
but anyone having dyspepsia. bilious
spells or sick headache can get a
speedy cure by the use of these pills.

AN ABSURD SUGGESTION.


 Of all the lollypop we have read in connection with the election we would award the premium to the communi- cation of Julius l.. Brown, in The Att lanta News who writes a column and half of information for the Demo- cratic electors and winds up by sug- gesting that they all cast their votes Tor Roosevelt and make his election unanimous. His encomiums of the lat ter and predictions of his future course It is not necessary to discuss. much as we might disagree with some of them, but the conclusion he arrives at can hardly be seriously considered.
 It is true that the Democratic cleo tors are not legally or constitutionally bound to cast their votes for Judge Parker, but certainly no moral obllga- tion was ever stronger than that under not as the supporters or friends of a certain man. but as the opponents of Democratic principles. They are, for the time being, the Democratic Party. and are the custodians of the political faith and honor of several millions of Democrats. How they could be asked to break that faith and violate that honor is something we confess not to be able to understand. With just as much justice and propriety they could vote for Debs or Watson-and 1t would do about as much good.
 fba oE L friends claim, and that we give him credit for being, the course advocated by MT. Brown would only be regarded by him with contempt. He would re- gard 1t as an offer to purchase his in- iuence and good will towards the South. and as a bribe to tempt him to virtually abandon his Republican principles and become a strictly non partisan President Tn short. if the Democratic electors could betray the trust imposed on them and reposed In them they would not only incur the contempt of Southern people, but of Democrats generally and of the Presi- dent himself, or we are mistaken in him.
 There is no call for Southern Demo- crats to violate a trust in order to pur- chase favors from any President The Parker electors should meet and cast their votes as they were pledged to do by allowing themselves voted for The Southern people just like the people of all other sections. should be prepared and willing to show the President all the consideration his high office de- Terves and not judge him harshly antil he gives occasion for such judg- nent If he shows himself the Presi- lent of all the people our section will be pleased. but we cannot begin by of lering him a bribe.

HoMIcIDEs IN THE SOUTH.
Appalling Record of South Carolina,
 and GeOrafn Nof Mneh neffer.

Appalling Record of South Carolina,
 and Georgia Not Much Better.
 The Charleston News and Courier de- voted practically page of It's space to summary of the crimes of violence committed in the State during the past ten months. Each separate case was recorded in the brief space of three to ten lines, yet 1t required seven columns of small print to contain them all. There are forty-one counties in the State The report, covering thirty-two of the forty-one counties. showed that in the ten months there had been 160 homicides. an average of five homi- cides for each of the counties covered. and about one homicide for each ten days during the year.
 feature of the reports, carefully made from the offificial records, Is that in practically eight eases out of ter the homicide was committed by a ne- gro, and in a majority Of the cases both slain and slayer were negroes. When one remarks the amount of lawlessness in South Carolina, 1t Is well enough to keep in mind which race 1t Is that fills the jails and keeps the courts busy. That, by the way. is not meant to con- vey the impression that whites have not been guilty of crimes of violence. The reverse is true. And the records show that no white man was convicted of murder and sentenced to death. though twenty-four Of them were tried. Of this number eight were convicted of manslaughter and sixteen were &C., quilted. During the period two me- groes were convicted of murder and sentenced to be hanged, and twenty were convicted of manslaughter, and | sentenced to the penitentiary. During the, ten months period there were four lynchings in the State, the victims be- ing three negroes and one white man. Commenting on the showing made by the reports. the News and Courier says: The people of the State are utterly plain, bald facts we have given speak out against us and our civilizaton, The State Is smearej with blood. We must wash 1t out in the name of justice and humanity"
 We wish 1t were possible for us to extend sympathy to our sister State and at the same time point to our own record as showing how brethren should dwell together in peace and unity and how the laws should be enforced. But | unfortunately, in this matter Georgia | is in the same boat with South Caro- lima. The ever-ready pistol is just as | nimble in this State as on the other side of the Savannah River, and it is l just as hard to get a murderer convict | ed here-partieularly if his skin is white-as 1t is there. The jury system Is regarded as one of the foundation stones of our system of justice, but when some of the verdicts of jurles are contemplated, especially in mur- der cases an honest opinion forces the 1 admission that justice fails as often as | 1t wins by the jury box. We need a | sterner and stronger public sentiment with respect to crimes of violence.- | Savannah (Ga.) News.

Two Large Traction Engines to Work
 on Road.
 Abbeville, Nov. 20.-(SpeciaI, )--Hen- ry County now has two large trac- tion engines to be used In working the public roads. As to whether or not these engines will do the work that 1t is claimed can be done is yet to be demonstrated before the large majori- ty of the tax payers are satisfied. The board of commissioners entered into a contract with a firm to nave two engines sent here for trial and If they did the work as represented by the agent the county was to purchase them. The board declined to accept the machine after a test. insisting that they did not come up to the contract. To avoid litigation. however, 1t was agreed to submit the matter to Judge Pearce, who was holding circuit court, and accept his award as final. This was done and after a hearing ne ren- dered an award adverse to the com missioners.
 No trace has been found of the rob- Der who held up James Hutto, the rural mall carrier last week. Mir Hutto is of the opinion that both of the men were negroes and several re- siding near Abbeville were suspicioned but no evidence could be had that would warrant their detention.
 Thanksgiving services will be held at the school auditorium in which the congregation of both churches will participate.

DETER QUIT MOVING tr.

The Philadelphians are congratulat- ing themselves that their precious Liberty Hell Is on its return Journey from St. Louis. where it has been one of the attractions of the great Fair. The Philadelphia Record has this to say on the subject:
 The Liberty Bell Is a precious relic, and 1t dses belong in sentiment to the whole nation. Its proper setting. how tower it proclaimed the liberty of America. and ought never to be re- moved from thence for a single hour. It would be we'll to have every Ameri- can see the bell; but SO 1t would be for every American to see the tomb of the Father of his Country at Mount Vernon. Yet nobody has ever proposed to set that tomb on a flat car and hippodrome 1t all over the United States. To make a rare show of the Liberty Bell is to eheapen and degrade 1t. BuS 1t is only too likely that the bad precedent will not be reversed as easily as it was es- tablished.
 We are very much inclined to agree with The Record in its views. That bell is one of the few objects intimate ly connected with the infancy and for native period of our Republic. and no risks should be run in it's care and pre- servation. It has withstood the vicis- situdes of many years. but it Is not in- destructible. A ear with that bell on it is not entirely beyond misadyenture, 1t matters not how careful railroad em- ployes may be. An accident might make junk of what should not be sub Jected to any risk.
 The truth Is that the American peo- pie are too much given to making show of everything. As The Record says. nobody has ever proposed to put the tomb of Washington on a train and send 1t around the country for gaping crowds to stare at, yet if some pro- motors could see a way to get posses sion of 1t they would at once make preparations to 'hippodrome it" all over creation. Independence Hall would be taken from Philadelphia, or Faneuil Hall from Boston if it could be done. Better anchor old Liberty Bell in Philadelphia and keep it there, otherwise 1t will some day be fit only for the junk heap.

The nne-rnnnreh EnuInna

w. D. Howells, in Harper Magazine.
 What strikes the American constant lY in England Is the homogeneousness of the people. We have the foreigner so much with us that we miss him when we come to England. When I take my walks in Central park I am likely to hear any other tongue oftener than English, to hear Yiddish. or Rus sion. Ortpolish, or Norwegian, or French, or Italian. or Spanish: but when l take my walks on the Leas at Folkestone, scarcely more than an hour from the polygolt- continent of Europe. I hear all but nothing but English. Twice, indeed, I heard a few French people speaking together; once I heard a German Jew telling A story of a dog, which he found so fun ny that he almost burst with laughter; and once again, in the lower town, there came to me from the open door of an eating house the sound of Italian. But nearly everywhere else was Eng fish, and the signs of lei on parie Francaise were almost as infrequent in the shops

Penalons and Purratorr.

NeW 1Ork Times
 The comment of ex-Commissioner Ware, when the very kindly acceptance of his resignation was handed to him, that two years in the pension office are equivalent to four years in Purga- tory" told the whole story If 1t is true. what manner of men should those be who look forward to a more or less protracted stay in the place referred to? When he reads the amiable as- surances of the president that his ad- mtnistration of the office has been more satisfactory than that of any of his predecessors to the responsible heads of the government and to the veterans of the civil war, is it possible that his eye will wander to a legend inscribed on the wall of his office and that he will recall with some bitterness how often he has been made to think that perhaps, it might be just the other way?
 Considering the fact that whoever ac- cepts this office attempts an impossible task, one of MT, Wares epigrammatic mural legends might be replaced with a paraphrase of Dantes line: All hope abandon, ye who enter here" Whether the incumbent pleases the old soldier or not is immaterial. The people he must reckon with comprises the we'll organized ring of pension agents, who do not like to be reminded that the Lord hates a liar" and have no use for a commissioner who regards as a lie anything which makes two pensions grow where one grew before.
