Aarico!ist on Biennial Sessions.

Mr.. Editor: 1 wish to call the
peoples attention to an important
matter to be voted on the 9Th of
noxt November; that is to amend
the constitution 80 as to have bi.
ennial sessions of the legislature,
instead of annual sessions. I think
we could live two years under any
law they would pass and save some
$4,000 annually. Many States
have this provision in their con.
st'tution. Virginia has it in her
titution, adopted some three
rs ago.
suppose there is no hope for

ny do so many Of the news
..rers still abuse Bryan? If the
people could vote directly for pres.
ident he would get more votes
than Roosevelt and Parker botbs
or any other two mon. Rev. Sam
Jones says: "but all in all BRYAN
is the strongest and greatest per-
sonality in America. If he is dead
he is the biggest, finest, strongest,
sasslest corpse that ever laid be.
fore the eyes of man."
If he and his friends we're kicked
out of the Democratic party, as
some papers wanted done, there
would not be enough left to make
a complete skeleton. In my opin.
ion this hatred of good and smart
men is begotten by envy, knowing
that If they once get started up-
ward they will reach the top to
stay. We have CASE in our
State that illus trates this.

OF Sheriff Alderman lying PROSTATE

prompted by his characteristic impet.

deed instantly. The pistol from which
no had sent bullot through his
mouth was lying a few inches away.

DEMANDS

There is every reason to believe that
the sultan of Morocco has not accept
ed ali of the demands made by the ban
dit chief Ralsuli for the release of
Mossrs. perdicaris and varley and that
they will not be given their freedom
on Wednesday as had been expected.
Further negotiations are now in pro-
gress.
1t is believed that state of anarchy
will follow the release of the two pris-
oners and there is prospect that the
sultan will call upon France for
troops to restore order. 1t is not be-
lieved here that his request will be
granted as other nations might object
and the French government has no de-
sire to bring about complications which
endanger the nations present amicable
arrangements.

GINSENG CRAZE
The Department Of Agriculture i
Trying to Stop II.

The department of agriculture is
trying to stop the ginseng craze, says
an exchange. 1t requires four years
to get crop from the seed and 1t Is
hard to raise at that
Ginseng grows wild in the United
States and Canada, but the best root
comes from Korea, and from that
country the Chinese annually impor
a large supply The plant is culti-
waited in Korea and Manchuria and to
q small extent in the United States.
Here is the danger to American far
mers who go into the cultivation of
ginseng: Prior to 1902 Chinese i'm
ported from this country in Ave years
only 172,000 pounds Of ginseng. That
amount of roots could have been
raised in a. field of soto rs acres.
The agricultural department has dis
tributed to inquirers not fewer than
$4,000 or 10000 copies of pamphlet
describing ginseng, and the officials
are now painfully aware Of the fact
that If dozen persons in the United
States should seriously take up the
culture of ginseng they would imme-
dlately supply the Chinese demand
for ginseng from this country. More
over, the root would Immediately de-
cline until 1t reaches next to nothing,
The crop wouldn't be profitable.
Both Minister Allen Of Korea and
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson are of
the opinion that ginseng is a greater
delusion that was Col Sellers orien'
tai eye liniment. 1t may seem as II
there were millions in it for the gin
seng farmer OF the United States, but
MrNWilson says: "Let ginseng alone"
