NO OPPOSITION.

Nashville Daily News.l
1t is now accepted that there will
be no contest at the State conven-
tion over the nominations for sec
retary ofState, treasurer and comp
troller, but that John w. Morton,
Reau Folk and Frank Dibrell will
be awarded the honors withoutpro-
test from any quarter. There was
never much prospect for Mr.. Folk
to have an opponent, though the
question of entering the race was
considered by at least one man.
After looking over the field, how
ever, he realized what was plain to
every observant man, that the peo-
pie of Tennessee were for Folk.
Mr.. Dibrells appointment to fill
out a brief, unexpired term gave
him such advantage that all COM
petitors retired from the field.
Captain Morton's position was
not so safe or certain, for all along
period of several months pros
pective candidates we're bobing up,
and it looked as though he was 60
ing to have contest for the office,
but finally all the aspirants disap-
peared leaving Captain Morton in
undisturbed control of the situa-
tion.
"Noman seems anxious to tackle
our worthy secretary of State, the
Hon. John w. Morton" says the
Athens Post. General Harvey
Hannah, Hon. W. B. Romine and
Hon. W. B. Whitson of McMinn-
vile have been talked of, but all
have now stated that they would
not be candidates. Captain Nor
ton has made the State model
officer, and we are glad he will be
reelected"
Joining in the endorsement, the
Chattanooga Press gives a bit of
interesting war history as follows:
"The editor of this paper feels
very much the same way. He re-
members very distinctly that forty
two years ago on the 18th day of
this month he was one Of mum ber
of other boys in blue who stood
before Captain Morton's battery at
Fort Donelson trying his best to
silence it's angry, whirring missiles
which were moving down our ranks
on the union left Captain Nor
toms battery suffered heavily in
that engagement, and since we
found it impossible to get an eff
fective bead on him then, our opin-
ion Of him has undergone radi-
cal change. Captain Morton was
not only a very brave and efficient
Confederate soldier, but he has
been model citizen, and since the
batteries and sharp shooting of
his political adversaries since the
war have not succeeded in silenc-
ing him, we are willing to let his

ENTERPRISE THAT COUNTS.
Unique Good Roads Movement In
augurated by Citizens Of Q
Missouri Village.

The business men of Argentine, Mo-,
have come to the conclusion that there
is only one way to have good roads.
That is by building them. They have
decided, therefore, to give up a day to
the business of repairing the road be-
tween tneir town and Kansas City
All the stores, banks. hotels, newspa-
per Offices and other business houses
OF Argentine are to be closed for an
entire day In order that every man in
the place may get out with a pick or a
shovel and work on the road. BY do
Ing this the citizens of Argentine think
they can be reasonably sure that there
will be something to show when they
get through for the sacrifice Of their
time and the exercising OF their mus.
cles There will be no chance for un-
scrupulous contractors or public off,
cials to defeat the will of the inhabit-
ants or to steal or misappropriate their
money.
The Chicago Record Herald says the
business men OF Argentine are wise
In recognizing the Importance Of good
roads. and they are to be commended
for the earnestness with which they
are endeavoring to increase the mile
age Of improved highways in this
country. 1t is to be hoped that Argen-
tine has no teamsters' union which
may decide at the last moment that
the business men are exceeding their
rights In wanting better roads, and Sc
put a stop to project that seems Ia
he so praiseworthy.

sEEDLEss ACE IS COMING.
Agricultural Department and Private
Experimenters at Work to
Hasten Its Advent.

The early years of the twentieth
century bid fair to be known as the
seedless age. II may be even referred
to as the period when appendicitis was
forever banished from among the Ills
that beset this flesh of ours. Events
of the past few months iend much en-
cOuragement to such a set of views.
Not only the agricultural department,
but individual growers themselves are
busily engaged in experiments to de-
velop seedless apples, plums without
stones, grapes without seeds, and per-
haps most wonderful of all, the
Georgia watermelon, seedless. but
luscious. Some of these experiments
have reached that stage where definite
announcement is about to be made. In
the case of the apple, investigations
carried on in Colorado have developed
an apple which grows from the bud
of the. tree and not from the flower
which has a little bag or cavity on
the end. like the well known naveI
orange, and which is said to be quite
free from the numerous diseases which
grow up win the apple as the result
OF the development of eggs laid on tn,
blossoms in the early springtime

worth the most serious investigation

nouncement has been made with re
spect to the efforts to secure seedles

strate that their theory is practica
one. We hope all this may prove true
but for several years more. at least

best quality of shredded fodder dry, or
of almost any of the ordinary hay. This Is
because cattle eat 1t with so much more
relish that large amounts are consumed
and the available nutrients are rendered
more digestible.
There are number Of simple ways in
which the fodder may be steamed, the
main essential being to provide some
means for producing live steam. The
object is to steam the hay and never to
cook or boil. or to water-soak It farther

CLOSE PLANTING OF TREES.
It Is a Common Practice, But One
Which Inevitably Causes
Loss Later On.

In the setting out Of orchard trees
this spring, the distance apart should
be given more consideration than Is
usually given 1t. It has always been
a general fault, at least In this coun-
try, to set the trees too near together.
We have seen apple trees planted so
close that by the time they were
ten years old their branches inter-
locked and the foliage produced
semi-twilight below. We have never
seen such an orchard loaded with fruit,
That mistake was made generally 40
years ago. Since that time men have
been coming TO realize the fact that
close planting Is very detrimental
to the producing of fruit. First the
Then the distance was increased to 20
feet and then to 25. Now our best
orchardsts are planting their small
growers 30 feet apart and the large
limbed trees 35 feet apart. Some
planters are even putting their trees
40 feet apart each way, especially II
they are of the larger growing varie-
ties.
In the matter OF pears some varie-
ties should be set at least 30 feet apart,
while straight growers may be set
20 and 25. Peaches are not general,
large growing trees and will do well
~ set as close as 20 feet each way.
Plums should have at least Is feet, and
some of the varieties should have 20
feet. OF course dwarf varieties of all
kinds of fruit can be planted much
closer than standards. II is mistake
to plant close with the intention OF
cutting out half Of the trees, The
cutting out Is never ne,-Farmers'
