THE GREAT CORN CROP

One Of the things on which the con-
tinuing prosperity is builded is the stag
gering corn crop which the sturdy iarm-
ers have gathered this year. 1t Is now
estimated at 2.SS1, 10000 bushels.
This is 173. 100000 bushels in excess OF
the largest previous crop, that OF 1903.
Two such full years following in sue
cession give great lift to the farmers, and
the farmers lift all the rest OF the people.
The corn crop this year will be worth ar
much as the wheat and cotton crop com
bined and this country will have 200
900 600 bushels to spare for export

A FT1TuE CONFERENCE

The press dispatches tell us oil a
secret political conference held IN New
York few days ago and partlcl-
pated in by prominent Democrats,
the object Of which was TO encom-
pass the defeat of both Bryan and
Hearst for the presidential nominal
ton in 1905, and bring about the
selection of President Woodrow Viii
= ses.d Princeton University. Vain
hope. The Democratic party Is not
vet ready to abandon its worship OF
VIM. Jennings Bryan. fatal as the
adulation is to the chances OF sue
cess. and today there seems little
prospect of the next convention
choosing any other mah TO lead the
fight. Woodrow Wilson is man IN
every sense OF the word. Honest
upright, intellectual, possessing force
and virility, he would make a presi-
dent second TO none this country
has ever had, but talk of hiSnomina-
ton comes at time when uniortu-
nately the party TO which he belongs
is blinded by the Bryan glamour.
President Wilson was educated at
our own University of Virginia, and
he possesses those qualifications and
is imbued with those ideas which
would make him an ideal chief execu-
tive from Southern point OF view.
The hope is vain, however. 1t Is
pleasant to contemplate, but 1t Will
never be realized, at least. not in
1908. Mr.. Bryan, in spite OF gov
eminent ownership. will be nomi-
mated, and may be defeated, in which
case the party will sit for four years
in contemplation OF what might have
been, and in years to come may learn
the wisdom which must in the end
come OF continual defeat. Hearst Is
eliminated. The South may swallow
Bryan, but never Hearst, and IN the
South is the foundation OF the Dem
ocratic party. In this connection
It is interesting to note that Mr..
Hearst so far corrects his statement
10 the effect that he would never be
a candidate for any office so as TO
except one Office, which he says IN an
interview he would aspire to should
circumstances demand it. Does ne
refer to the presidency? Ii so. the
Democratic party had best beware
OF his Vaccinations and the power
OF his purse. Nothing could so
nearly approach party suicide as the
nomination OF Hearst for president.

A GREAT LOSS TO THE SOUTH.

a GkEAl LOSS ~ LII bO' 80
The shocking death OF Mr.. Samuel
Spencer, president OF the Southern
Railroad, in the rear end collision
which occurred south of Lynchburg
early on Thanksgiving morning. Will
bring distress TO the hearts OF all
who knew him or knew OF him, and
especially is his untimely taking OIL
a matter OF distress to the people OF
the South. President Spencer was a
Southern man and completed his ed
ucation at the University OF Virginia,
and while he lived in New York City
his affection for the land OF his ma
tivity was demonstrated by his un-
firing efforts to advance its prosper
fly, and it is doubtful ii any man IN
the country has done as much as he
to bring about the unusual prosper
ity which the South is now enjoying.
He inaugurated and carried out the
plan OF building up every section
through which his lines OF railroad
passed, and he has been especially
active in encouraging the building OF
good roads, and many miles OF road
have been built by the Southern Rail
road as object lessons for the COM
munities in which they were built.
He was largely instrumental IN the
reduction OF freight rates from the
South, thus enabling Southern prod
ucts. both of farm and factory, to
be shipped North in fair competition
with such products at the North
thereby adding enormously to the
wealth OF the South. 1t can be read
ily seen how heavily the South has
lost in his death.
The accident which brought about
the calamity was, as far as can be
learned, one that even ordinary care
would have prevented, and seems to
have been the result of gross careless
ness. This makes the killing OF Pres
ident Spencer and those who we're
his guests all the more to be deplored,
and but emphasizes the necessity OF
devising some more certain proven
tive and precautionary measures to
avoid the appalling railroad disasters
which now so frequently occur, that
unless they are brought home to us
by the loss OF some relative, friend
or person OF wide distinction, have
ceased to cause any general shock.
