The Weekly Tar Heel says that "the
latest ticket suggested in the absence
of Mr.. Bryan is Folk and Jerome"
We suppose The Tar Heel is referring
to the democratic presidential 1cket for
1908. 1t must bear in mind that this
ticket was brought out by the Wash
ington Post, which is not democratic
organ and also that there are great
many democrats in this country who
do not submit to Mr.. Bryan's dictation
even though the party leaders may ap-
pear to do so when it comes to draft
ing the national platform and that
these democrats show when the time
comes to vote that they do not wear
Mr. Bryan's collar. These kind Of
democrats do not care whether Mr..
Bryan is on the convention platform
or in Kamchatka at the time Of max
ing the nomina tons We do not think
Mr.. Bryan will ever again dominate a
democratic national convention. He
may run one of his own, but it will
not be a democratic convention. We
think the south has got enough Of
Organism. We hope SO at least.

SUMMER ORCHARD PRUNING

From careful experiments made by
the horticultural department OF the

made during winter and spring. This
difference is more noticeable IN the
