GROWING CUCUMBERS.
Field Culture AS Prncticed by Iowa
Fnrmer-Land Very Rich.

Field Culture Prncticed by Iowa
Fnrmer-Land Very Rich.
The usual date for planting cucum
bers In Iowa Is June / TO 10. The soil
must be thoroughly worked into a fine
loose loan, and very abundant sup
ply Of fertilizer must be used. 1t Is al
most impossible to have the land too
rich. If the area planted Is not so
large as to make 1t impracticable 1t is
an excellent plan to put one or two
shovelfuls of rich farmyard manure in
each hill at the time of planting. The
seeds are planted In hills about six feet
apart each way. Plenty of seeds must
be used, for 1t Is far better to thin out
the plants than to have poor stand.
Cultivation.
The cultiyatlng may be done with
one horse and the small pillow or with
the regular corn plow. As soon as the
vines begin to run cultivation should
be stopped If possible, for 1t Is not a
good plan to disturb the tender, grow
ing shoots. If the field Is kept free
from weeds up to this time there will
be little chance for them to grow
afterward, for the vines will complete
~ cover the ground very soon after
they begin to run Should a few weeds
persist In coming up they may be care
fully pulled without harm to the vines
Little Disease or Insect Foes.
Usually cucumbers are quite free
from disease, the two greatest pests
being mildew and a small insect that
sometimes comes In swarms, attacking
all kinds of green vines. These insects
can usually be killed or driven away
by sprinklng the vines with wood
ashes. The mildew, which Is much less
common, requires more drastic treat
ment. This disease attacks the foliage,
causing the leaves to turn yellow and
fall off. Spraying with some fungi
eide, such "a bordeaux mixture or po-
tassium sulphide, will usually prevent
mildew, provided the application is
made promptly enough. The under
side of the leaves must be thoroughly
sprayed, as that ls where the disease
most frequently starts, writes a CORE
spondent to Orange Judd Farmer.

DISSENT FILED IN
 WHITECAP CASE
JUSTICES HARLAN AND DAY CAN NOT ASSENT TO lNTERPRETA- A. TON OF CONSTITUTION MADE IN ARKANSAS CASE.

Washington. October 3O.-(special.)- )-The dissenting opinion of Justice Harlan, with whom is joined Justice Day in what was known as the "Whitecapping' case, in which the United States supreme court last spring reversed the judgment of the United States court for the eastern dis trict of Arkansas, convicting Reuben Hodges and others of intimldating negro worllmen, thereby denying them their rights under the thirteenth amendment, has been filed with the court.
 The case was a test one under the civil rights law. the indictments being based on the allegations that the denial of the rights claimed was solely because of the race and color of the men.
 Justice Harlan dissents from the con clusion reached by the majority, that such prosecutions would not stand under the thirteenth amendment, for the reason that negroes were not more than any others protected by it. The object of the amend ment and of the law subsequently, passed by congress, he maintains. was for just such purpose. He points out the fact that the court had heretofore unanimous ly held that the right to earn ones living in all legal ways, and to make law full contracts in reference thereto. was a vital part of the freedom established h ythe constitution and that 1t had been held repeatedly that congress had the power to grant, protect and enforce any right derived from, secured or created or by or dependent upon that instrument.
 Justice Harlan continues: q cannot as- sent to an interpretation of the const- tuition which denies national protection to vast numbers of our people in respect of rights derived by them from the na- tional government. The interpretation now placed on the thirteenth amendment s l think, entirely to narrow, and is hostile to the freedom established by the supreme law of the land"

man who buys vote is an enemy to this republic, to religion, to God and human ity and the man who sells it is simply a tool, a fool. My politics, fellow citi- zens, shall stand for principle of the party and not the man, from governor to constable, who go before the people on their merits square and straight.
 Now, gentlemen, settle as policy in this county and in this state that there can be no such a thing as contest and what have you done. You have opened the flood gates to every Illegal voter; you force a man who is indifferent and who fails or refuses to pay his poll tax for the education of his children or the children at large right along by the side of the man who periodically does 1t; you force along by the side of a man who has been found giulty of crime, a man who has lived upright and observed the laws of the country. Judge Stiles may be elected or defeated. Colonel Higdon may be elected or defeated; the sheriff's office will be properly administered and We will have a good sheriff and the law enforced, but to establish the precedent that to contest an election means a defiance of the peoples will and you have thrown open the foodgates of money, bribery and ruin of the democracy of Alabama, and it means degradation and dishonesty of gov- ernment and the administration of the laws of Alabama

Cunningham Speaks.

"Mr. Chairman and neighborS--I hope that this meeting will pardon me for a few personal remarks relative to myself. This is the first opportunity l have had to meet my fellow citizens of Ensley and to express to them my profound appre- citation and sincere thanks for the hearty, cordial, honest, faithful, unsolicited, un- promised and unbought support for the high office of governor l desire to thank my fellow citizens who organized the club which was the only assistance l had in my campaign for governor in the way of q state organization.
 "Now, fellow citizens, I am before you tonight to make speech in the interest of the democratic ticket, state and coun- ty. There are two reasons why l desire
 to do this; in the first place, on the 27th of August, l participated in the democra- tie primary as an elector and as a can didate and which, as l conceive it to be. it is a question of honor to support that ticket from B. B. Conner, clear straight through to the bottom. (Great cheers.) l There are two classes of men about which l 1 have very sanguine opinions; for the weaNling who has neither principle nor
 policy, but only ambition to get in the band wagon, I have a contempt; and for i the unsuccessful candidate who submits his ambitions and aspirations to the arbi-
 trament of his fellow citizens and fails,
 and who then goes forth as a bolter, an 1 independant and seeks office in that way
 for him l do not have much respect.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-10-31
Great Issue.

"There Is one other reason, fellow citizens, why I am here tonight. 1 believe that in the county of Jefferson, a great issue is before you, an issue greater than any merit or any right or any in- terest that MT. Higdon could have; an issue greater than any interest, or any merit or any right that Judge Stiles may have; that Issue. fellow citizens, is a law full, fair and honest election. (Cheers.) There is third reason, gentlemen, why I am here; I believe that the state of Alabama and county of Jefferson in the personnel of the standard-bearers of the party for both state and county offices have a strong, good, reliable and patri- otic ticket. Now, I did rot vote for all the gentlemen nominated, and l did not advocate all of them; l thought, for n- stance, that there was a better man in the race for governor than E. B. Conner; and, it seems that thirty-six- odd thou sand agreed with me, but some fifty eight thousand did not. and 1t must have been an error of judgment upon my part fellow-citizens and l bow to the sub mission of the majority, it is a strong ticket fellow citizens. (Great cheers)
 MT. Conner has made q success-and I am saying nothing now I did not say be- fore-in his business career. l believe he is honest and sincere in his convictions. and 1 said so before and say so now; believe he will bring to bear upon the administration of the office of governor of Alabama, business ability. patriotism, fidelity to trust and honesty. and those. fellow citizens, are the essential quail lications for the office.
 Here Dr. Cunningham paid beautiful tribute to the honesty. integrity and abil- ity to every man nominated for state offices, taking them up seriatim from lieu tenant governor down to the nominee for auditor whom he said possessed not only all the qualifications for the high office of auditor but those of an orator, and was perhaps the best stump speaker of the democratic party in Alabama, the Hon. w. w. Brandon. (Cheers)

Ensley, October 30.-(Special.)-A Jeff ferson county democratic speaking in this ctiy tonight two of Alabamas most famous orators, Lieut. Gov Russell M Cunningham and Gen. ". ". Brandon. the democratic nominee for state auditor addressed a large audience on "Democ- racy," their speeches being in defense of the democratic party of Jefferson county, against certain attacks which have been made against 1t during the past few weeks
 Dr. Cunningham and General Brandon were the principal speakers at a meet ing held in the interest of Judge J. P. Stiles, the democratic nominee for sheriff of Jefferson county. However, both speakers emphasized statements to the ef- feet that they were there to defend democ- raey and to explain to the voters of this city the'meaning of the term as applied to the citizens of the state of Alabama.
 The above speakers were preceded by Augustus Benner, who spoke for forty five minutes dwelling in most part on the main issues of the campaign, as it has been waged At the conclusion of MT. Benner's speech, D. J. Hummer, chair man of the meeting, introduced Judge Stiles, who arose amid loud applause and cheering. Judge Stiles said that he was there merely for the purpose of replying 10 the statement made by P. G. Bowman In his speech here last week, to the effect that he (Stiles) twas known to have emerged from services In a church in Birmingham with Bible under his arm, and immediately proceed to a low gamb- hOnSp and was admitted" Judge Stiles said that he wished to say to this statement that it. was a lie and as black as hell itself
