BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 13.-Bal-
timore is in the complete possession
of the F'raternal Order of Eagles,
thousands of whom continued to pour
into the city today for the annual
national convention of the order. The
city was expecting large crowd. but
the attendance so far exceeds all CAL
culations. Parties numbering from
100 to 500 members are here from
nearly all the principal cities Of the
east and middle west Many Of the
visitors are accompanied by their
wives and families, so that the total
runs into the thousands. The city
was well prepared for their coming,
however, and every visitor is assured
of plenty to eat, a place to sleep and
no end of amusement and entertain
ment.
The grand lodge began it's session
this morning in the Maryland thea
ter. which like nearly all of the build
ings of the downtown section, is elab.
orately decorated in honor of the WIS.,
itors. Grand Worthy President Tim.
othy ID. Sullivan of New York called
the gathering to order and addresses
of welcome were delivered by Mayor
Timanus and other representatives of
the city and state and of the local
branch of the order. Committees
were appointed and other routine bus,
mess transacted, but the session was
cut short to permit the visitors to
partake Of some of the numerous ex-
cursions, outdoor parties and other
festivities arranged for their enter
tainment. A grand illumination of
the city is scheduled for tonight, to-
gether with band concerts and other
features. Many visitors from nearby
cities and towns are expected to come
into the city tomorrow to witness the
big parade, which will be one of the
picturesque features of the week.
Denver is pursuing a hot campaign
to capture next years convention.
Several other cities are in the runnine

Suspicion was directed to Marx who
was not liked by even his squalid
neighbors. Such things as plows and
shovels had been missed ever since
Marx came into the neighborheed.
There was something in the appear
snce of benevolence, efusiveness and
sly pleasantness about the old man that
made the farmers doubt him. Then It
was remembered that three mysterious
men had been frequently meeting at
Marks house at night. One of these
has subsequently gone to New York,
another vanished mysteriously and a
third still lives in the neighborhood.
A few weeks after the finding of the
farm hands body the house of Mich

Alexandria, second daughter of tie
duke of Cumberland, sister of the fut-
ure queen of Denmark.
Only once before in a century has a
Prussian king taken wife except from
a German princely house.
Possibly it is a love affair, but the
political advantages are so great, and
Emperor Williams approval is so
marked, that the gossips have good
ground for regarding the betrothal as
wise political arrangement.
The Duchess Cecilia is about Is years
of age. She is slight girl, not pretty.
but very engaging. She has been care
fully trained by her mother and thor
oughly understands the art of house
keeping.

This is the True Remedy, Says Col. John S. Cunning
ham, Last President of the North Carolina Tobacco
Growers Association.
Editors Progressive Farmer:

Growers Association.
Editors Progressive
Il never heard the word independence
toned that my county did not occur to my
mind" Whilst | value much any, the great
advantages that must result to US from inter
course with others and those who may come
among us, I have always been impressed with the
feeling that our industrial independence is de-
pendent upon ourselves. 1t is true, and al
ways will be, that people will succeed with
simple industry and careful exactness in the
utilization of their energies
The people of North Carolina have made
step, but perseverance is the great agent of sue
cess, and if go on zealously, believe that in
few years shall arrive at position of equal
comfort of equal happiness and of as good indie
pendence with that of any other people.
This is period that demands of each man that
he must think. 1t was period of pros
perity in 1901 and 1902 among the tobacco farm
ers, but now the growers of North Carolina, South
Carolina and Virginia have had a sudden blow
struck them, by the low prices of tobacco, the
farmers must do something to protect them
selves. This is the beginning of the New Year,
and each man must lay down his plans and decide
what he is going to do. The only remedy is in di-
versifcation of crops. The farmer who grows his
supplies at home, and then who plants all of the
tobacco that he can cultivate we'll, will succeed.
1t is important for the tobacco growers, and cot
ton growers as we'll, to plant good seeds. 1t is
always wise to select seed with care. Good prepa-
ration is half cultivation, and this rate applies
all crops. Cotton is high, and the crop of 1904
MAY be large crop and much lower prices. So
the farmer who grows his supplies will be hap
pier and better off than the farmer who does not.
Fertilizers suited to the soil, and crops grown,
0f,,11xr ID A
high grade of fertilizer is by far preferable to
the low grades. If all of the farmers in North
Carolina would take care of the manures and haul
them out and them their crops, it would
largely increase their production and yield of all
crops.
The farmers should study the marketing and
distributing of their products in the various
channels of trade, and learn much of the true
value to their products to the manufacturer as
IS known to the buyers, that they may not longer
be in the dark, but fully posted regarding the
business end of their affairs. We know how to
produce. What don't know is, how to sell our
products so as to make the profits we are en-
titled to-
The farmers must put more thought and brain
in their business in dealing with the commercial
world. They should regard education as the high
est element in reaching the goal Of success
The farmers should meet often, and discuss
these matters in local and State meetings. that all
the information possible may be gathered to be
utilized in solving the problem of how to sell to
the best advantage.
