SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1906

The loss to the farmers of Accomac'
due to the improper handling OF their
sweet potato crop this season, is OF
such vast proportions that it CANNOT
be correctly estimated by anyone
We know though, comparing the
prices received by us for our staple
product with those for which the
Jersey potato is being sold, that the
loss is immense and can be put down
at from fifty cents to one dollar per
barrel-a loss in the aggregate II our
shipments reach this year what they
have in the past, so enormous, thaV II
should cure us in the future OF the
folly on our part which has brought
about such a state of affairs.
Of course there is reason for the
slump" in the price of our potatoes
this season and the great loss inc =
dent to the same if they are being
sold at a less price than those IN
another State, and fortunately, we
are advised, that the mistakes which
have been made are known to us and
can be corrected.
If for the reason as stated, because
many barrels of undersize and poorly
made have been used this year, Their
there is a remedy in the law publish
ed in this issue in another column
regulating "the size of barrels FOL
shipment of agricultural product'
commonly called trucks" which
should be enforced for the punish
ment of those who use them in tn
future. If, as stated, the potat
market has been depressed by tn
improper culling of our potatoes an
for the lack of sufficient quantity c
them in a barrel, then it is up t
those whose duty is to inspect ther
to use greater vigilance in the futur
in discharge of their duties. Whateve
the cause for our loss this year
must be met ana remeUeu, anu I'll
farmer, who either from carelessne'
or for any other reason fails to "p'
up" his potatoes properly, must NJ
be allowed to have them branded
frst-class to the injury of hundred
of others who are willing to live
to their obligations as members of II
Exchange. AS individuals we cam
stand the losses incident to the car
lessness or "smartness, so called,
a few of our shippers this year, as
people we must not lose the reput
ton for honesty and fair dealing W.
by our shipments through the E
change in previous years througho
the country.

No candidate for Office is at this
time more bitterly denounced by some
Democrats and so-called Democratic
newspapers than William R. Hearst,
the Democratic nominee for Governor
of New York. The advices are
though that he has the people of New
York behind him, regardless OF their
past political affiliations, and that he
will be the next Governor OF that
State. The fact, that he is not a
favorite with some Democrats and
newspapers, not only III New YORK
but in this State, is a good reason
why he should have the support OF
the people, their disapproval often
times being sure sign that they are
for the corporations and that the can
didates they oppose is with the peo-
pie and against the encroachments OF
the corporations upon their rights.
In this instance at least, without
being posted as to the merits OF the
onslaught upon Mr.. Hearst, we can
not believe that he is unfit for the
office to which he aspires when most Of
the Democratic leaders of New York
and such men as William J. Byrar
and Adlai E. Stevenson, Democratic
ex-vice-President of the United States
are giving him their support. We may
care nothing even for the campaign
or the candidates in New York but al
Portsmouth Star very properly says
1--WE do maintain that the principles o
the Democratic party are best for tn
country, and that it and the Hears
nomination should be more pleasing
to Virginia Democrat than Hughe
backed by the corporation. The cor
porations are financing the fgh
against Roosevelt's plans and recon
mendations for Congress as they ar
fighting the laws prohibiting rebates
adulterated foods, the Standard u
Company and trust conspiracies t
enhance prices. The newspape
which cannot align itself against tn
corporations in any concatenatio
of circumstances, has the same effe(
as if it were always advocating tn
interests of the corporations
against the welfare of the people.

Buy May Wheat.

advised buying May wheat and
had YOU bought it ten days AGO at
764 cents, to-day you would have
had $50 profit from every twenty in
vested, as it sold up to 794 cents.
For those who do not understand
this business / will explain, had
you sent me $50 and given an order
to buy one thousand bushels of May
wheat at 764c on a two cent margin,
and to sell it at three cent profit
you would OF had $50 to your credit
upon twenty. AS wheat is advanc-
ing and declining every day, it is
very probable you will be able to
buy May wheat at II cents and take
two cents profit. l will attend to it
for you as that is my business.
Many men have been able to get
on their feet from small. investment
and many have saved themselves
from failing by investing few hum

Chequamegon Bay Notes

Russell Angus of La Pointe, who

claims to have the largest and fast
est sail boat in this vicinity. 1t is
a forty-footer, and is built for carry
ing freight. 1t carries $50 pounds
of ballast, and gets over twice the
dista ace of any saiiboat on the bay.
The fastest naptha launch on the
bay is the "Sallie'' of Washburn,
owned by O. A. Lamoreaux.
The strongest tug on either side
of the bay is the ashland.
The largest vessel on Chequame-
&on bay today, is the Sir Isaac
Lothian Bell. 1t carries a cargo
of 5000 tons.
The largest vessel in the world is
the Steamer Mauritania, vessel of
80, 200 gross tons, 1877 feet in length
So feet breadth and go feet deep,
The finest harbor on the great
lakes, is Chequamegon bay.
The only safe harbor to enter in
all kinds of weather on Lake Super
Tor is Chequamegon bay. Ask any
lake captain if this is not SO.
Fishermen report that the wreck
of the Sevona has completely dis
appeared from sight, and it is sup
