from the close attention given
with frequent questioning by
the teachers, it was quite evident
that they were all interested in

brought out that a number of

subject by making gardens III

work.
The first on the program was
a model lesson on agriculture by
Miss Zelia Christian. She devel-

an admirable manner and a
fascinating way, which won high
encomiums from all present.
There isn't a particle of doubt.

but that elementary agriculture
can be made highly attractive
and instructive to children.
Prof. V. L. Roy followed with
a lecture Of some length, but
which never became tiresome for
one moment. He illustrated with
many simple experiments, which
possessed novelty and instructive
ness, and showed how the minds
OF children could be developed
through observation, interest,
and reasoning. AS he put the
subject, it has wise usefulness
in the scheme of education and

PHILIPPINE ELECTIONS.
Report from Governor Wright Re
 ceived by Secretary Taft.

Report from Governor Wright Re
 ceived by Secretary Taft.
 Washington March 21.-Secretary Taft Wright concerning the recent guberfia- torial elections. From the report it appears that elections were held in thir- ty-two provinces with the result that six teen of the former Governors were elect ed and eleven defeated, according to re- turns received up. to the time of the mail- ing of the report.
 Governor Wright said that the elections had passed off quietly and that great in- terest was manifested in the results. He added that the Filipinos showed them selves adopts in political methods and in some respects conducted their elections better than the people in the United States. One of the Governors who fail ed of reelection is Captain A. U. Betts, formerly of the volunteer army, but now a resident of Albany. Since his resi- dence in the Philippines, Captain Betts has married a Mestizo and has otherwise identified himself with the country.
 His successful competitor was Raymond Santos, a native. Captain Betts has pro tested against being counted out and similar protests have been filed with the Philippine Commission by the defeated candidates in several other provinces.
 Governor Wright has asked Secretary Taft to use his best endeavors to encOur- age the extension of the Philippine Rail- road system on the ground that rail- roads will do more to benefit the country at this time than almost anything else.

RAILROAD MERGERS
 POLITICS.
AND

To the surprise of the country, the de- cision of the Supreme Court in the North ern Securities case had no perceptible ef- feet on the market, unless to harden and make firmer the price of the stocks a: issue in the litigation. There seems no reason to believe the railroad interests involved cannot by private and amica- to do the very thing that the Court, by its opinions, forbids them to do. Something of this sort would appear to have been agreed on and Hill and Morgan reckon the decision as an annoyance, but 4 petty annoyance after all.
 There has been much exultation in the Republican camp over the decision, par tlcularly because the three Democratic members of the bench dissented. We have not seen the opinions in full. We understand they are not yet available. We have no doubt, however, that the Democrats will give a good account of themselves in their reasoning. Certainly the names of the Chief Justice, White, Peckham and Holmes, far outweigh In force and solidity of legal, attainments Kenna. Justice Brewer, while concurring in the opinion, dissented from the reason ing of the four last named judges.
 So far as the attempt Is being made to give political cast to the decision. the Democrats under the intelligent lead of Mir. Williams, will undoubtedly bring the effort to naught. The Mississippi states man struck at once at the vulnerable points of the politics of the whole busi- ness. He charged the Republicans with making theatrical display and demand ed if they were in earnest to go ahead with their prosecutions. He showed them that the United States Steel Corporation, the New York Central Railroad, the Rock Island System, and many others, como within and are prescribed by the decision of the Supreme Court. That Is where the rub will come. The Attorney General, on the eve of a presidential election. will not dare to set the machinery of his office in motion against the hundreds of giant cor porations now placed under a ban of ille- gality. These have votes. and the Repub' licans want the votes. It is little likely that a single additional suit will be brought until after the November cleo ton, if then. The Republican Party is too thoroughly identified with corporate interests of every kind. They are willing to take the dramatic stage for moment as an enemy to trusts, but for a moment only. To destroy the trusts would be tU destroy the Republican Party itself.

brave admiral. and few believed 1t. Now The Hartford Times has this explanation. and If some of us Southern people indulge in a grin, please excuse 1t. The Times says:
 Another mystery is solved. The reason why Admiral Dewey, Assistant Secretary of State Loomis and their party did not land and pay an official visit upon Min ister Powell while they were recently at Santo Domingo was that Powell is colored man. and these white gentlemen could not afford to be his guests, with the obligation of returning the courtesy when the minister happens to visit Wash ington again. Yet the Mayffower went to that port especially to enable Mir. Looms to study the conditions existing there. It is said that nones of the party had re membered that Powell was a negro, and all were greatly surprised when he came on board to find that such was the fact Dewey Is said to have decided at once that none of his officers could go on shore for fear of being hit by stray bullets. and after MT. Powell left the Mayfower he saw no more of the party, although official etiquette required that his visit should have been quickly returned.

WHY DID HE CONCEAL THE
 FACTSP
This Is from The Selma TImea:


 The Advertiser takes a shot at the edi- tor of The Times in the editorial alluded to. and says that on Saturday a week ago there was a conference in Montgom- cry, including MT. Nunnelee of The Selma Times his Hearsts) chief newspa- by that the editor of The Times Is an ardent supporter of Wm. R. HearstI then We plead guilty to the lndictmentA But on the day referred to the editor of The Times was al his post of duty in Selma. on that day he distributed two galleys of type, wrote the Hearst editorials and other editorials in the paper, got up most Of the local matter in the paper, set d column of type, and at II o'clock Satur- day night was sleeping peacefully and calmly without even the dream of any job. elective or appointive. ever overtak ing him as long as he lives. The editor of the masses against the classes and is doing what he can to keep the Cleveland bolter gang from misrepresenting Ala bama a the National Convention.
 The Advertiser ought to be more accu- rate than to have the editor of The Times in Montgomery when ie was at his post of duty trying to support those depend ent upon him by doing as much work every day in the year as is reported above, and that Is why he can't get out and mix with the boys as he once did.
 Evidently The Advertiser is rattled.
 No, The Advertiser is not rattled, but It looks as If The Times was. It creates the impression that. devoted as 1t Is to Hearst. it's editor had nothing to do with the meeting here of stallings, Hehin ct al, with MT. Hearst's personal represen- tative Mir. Impson. Since he is so bold in fighting the Cleveland bolter gang" he ought not to be ashamed of the Hearst gang.
 It transpres that while Mir. Nunneles was not here Saturday night. he reached here before breakfast Sunday morning, was promptly inquiring for MT. Hearst's representative. and was mixing with the gang most of that quiet Sabbath day, in stead of attending Sunday school and church like the good church member hO usually is.
 It is too bad that The Times man should be appearing to conceal his visit to MT. 1mpson. along with the boys. Does if indicate that he Is ashamed of 1t? Or, Is he afraid the other boys In Dallas will be jealous or will be calling on him for postoffces and things?

MILKS' EMULSION.

This wonderful remedy has accom- plished so many remarkable cures since 1t was first put on the market by Mir. J. E. Milks of Terre Haute, Ind, that we feel in duty bound to bring it to the attention of the public, with the object in view of aiding sick and suffering humanity.
 This Emulsion is put up in such a palatable form that it is a pleasure to take. Immediate relief results from the taking of the first bottle, and stomach troubles of all kinds readily succumb to this treatment, which draws out the inflammation, kills the germs of disease and cleanses and strengthens the mucous membrane. Colds, coughs, croup and other throat and lung troubles disap- pear like magic, no matter of how long standing, and feverish conditions are immediately relieved.
 Where the lungs are affected this rem edyoperates in such manner as to enable them to work freely and to contribute pure, life-giving and life-sustaining oxygen to the blood Weak lungs are mostly due to a neglected cough. Only a small percentage of those who have con- sumption inherit it, and Milks' Emul- sion, by operating directly and instan- taneously, prevents colds which have settled upon the lungs from developing into more serious forms of disease.
 Constipation, from which arises at- tendant difficulties of the stomach, bow els and alimentary canal, is absolutely cured for good and all by this prepara- ton. Thousands of cures have been effected and many of those benefited have freely given testimonials as to the worth of the Emulsion. These testl- monials will be sent prepaid to those suffering from disease who will write for them to The Milks' Emulsion Company, Terre Haute, Ind, or inquire ot your druggist, who sells the goods.
