If care is taken to plant row Of
sweet corn every ten days, beginning
with the earliest varieties and ending
with the evergreen corn, continuous
supply of one of the most relished gar
den vegetables may be secured. All
too often the sweet corn season is of
but two or three weeks duration when
it ought to cover six or eight.

The barren cornstalk is one of the

What a godsend it would be in view
Of the scarcity of agricultural laborers
In almost all sections of the country
If thousands Of the surplus population
in many of our large cities, who are
underfed and are suffering for lack of
sunshine and fresh air, could be in
duced to go into the country and in
part supply this demand for labor!
Could such a situation be brought
about everybody concerned would be
benefited.

1t seems to be the universal testimony
from localities in the north part of the
corn belt that the seed corn saved last
fall is not up to the usual standard.
In view of this situation the only safe
way is to make a careful test Of every
ear that is to be used for seed. The
slipshod indifference that is quite like
~ to constitute the attitude of so many
on this most vital question and that
will cause them to be content with the
good old way Of their grandfathers will
in all probability reduce the yield Of
corn on individual farms from ten to
thirty bushels to the acre and the total
yield the country over by hundreds OF
millions Of bushels.

A tree planting custom is in vogue
in the state of Massachusetts that
might be followed with profit by many
Of her sister commonwealth. For a
number of years past the state high
way commission has made a practice
Of setting out along the highways of
the state between 5000 and 1000 trees,
their thought being that the shade re-
sulting not only tends to save the
roads, but furnishes comfort for trav-
elers as well.

A WARNING.

The Herald desires to call the at
tention of druggists and grocery mer-
chants of Columbia and Maury county
to the very stringent act of the last
Legislature (chapter 2s7, page 1OO5)
in regard to sales of drugs and medi-
cines and food preparations. The
penalty for violation of this Act is a
fine not to exceed $500, or one year in
the penitentiary, for the first offense,
and $1,000, or two years in the penl-
Tertiary for each succeeding offense.
State and County Inspectors will be
appointed to enforce this Act and
prosecute violators thereof.
AS hundreds of merchants are inno-
Gently violating this law it will not go
into effect until January 1st, 1908.
In this same connection the Herald
suggests that physicians "or vendors
of any kind of drug, nostrums, ONT
ment, or application of any kind in
tended for the treatment of disease or
injury of any kind should read an
other Act of the last Legislature
chapter SAB, page 1861.

rHE TRUSTS TAX US.

Ten years of the Dingley law shows
a tax Of SO year on every man, wo-
man and child in the United States.
That's only what was paid in buying
imported goods. The less direct tax
for high prices on domestic goods with
foreign competition throttled can new
er be estimated, but we may form
some idea Of 1t by the size of the for
tunes accumulated by the magnates Of
the Steel Trust, the Leather Trust and
the like. The most reliable stats
ticians estimate that each family in
the United States pays an average of
nearly 500 annually in increased
profits to the trusts in consequence of
the protection the tariff gives them.

CHURCH MEMBERSHIP.

| Writing upon the subject of church
membership and church discipline,
the Nashville Christian Advocate
says:
1.-THE new member is entered upon a
roll containing five hundred-it may
be a thousand-names He instantly
drops out of sight. There is one man,
and usually only one, who cares for
the spiritual well-being of all these
souls. The stewards will in time
place the new name upon their collec-
ton lists. If SO disposed, the mex
perienced member may find a place in
the Sunday-school There, perhaps, a
conscientious teacher will care for his
soul in a desultory way, but not be-
cause he is a member of the Church.
is it any wonder that in thousands
of instances the young Christian, see
ing how Indifferent the Church is to
his new relation with it, himself
grows Indifferent? He becomes care
less as to the use of the means of
grace He contributes or not, as he
may happen to choose, to the expenses
Aof the Church; he allows its claim as
10 morality to sit lightly upon him;
yet nothing is done to remind him that
there is such thing as Church disci-
pline So long as he is not actually
and extensively immoral in his con-
duct, he is probably not even warned.
The Church is plagued today with
thousands upon thousands of these
careless, selfish, uninstructed mem
bers, dead loss as concerns any ac-
tive participation in the Church's af-
fairs, whether spiritual or temporal,
and thereby a dead weight to those
who do undertake that work And no
man really cares for their souls. To
be sure, the harassed. overworked
pastor may dash in OCCASIONALLY, be-
tween funerals, weddings, sermon
making. and presiding at public meet
ings, to make them a pastoral CALL"
But he knows nothing about them, |
has no access to their confidence or
inner life--has not, in short, either |
the time or the data to deal with them !
as their needs require. Is 1t not clear
that we profoundly need something
approaching the oversight and the per-
sonal dealing of the old-time class
leader?
I'm making the way into the Church
easy we have made It all too wide.
OF our membership today it must be
said that all are not Israel that are Of
Israel. We cannot go back to the
class meeting test. But we do need

What is ex-senator Carmack going
to do in the emergency? Will he find
it possible to respond to the demands
made upon him? These are questions
that wifi shortly need an answer-the
public welfare requiring it.

A dispatch to the Nashville Banner
from Chattanooga, contains some
startling information. 1t is moth
ing more nor less than the
destruction of free government in the
proud old State of Tennessee. A gen.
tleman by the name of Carr, from the
City of Clarksville, bore the awful bur-
den of this awful knowledge all the
way from his home town to East Ten
nessee, but could carry it no further.
Then and there Carr was unloaded of
the fact that there is four-fold combine
now in charge of Tennessee politics,
consisting of Patterson, Taylor, Ben
ton McMillin and Harvey Hannah, and
that this combine is invincible. There
fore Patterson will succeed himself
as Governor. McMillin will succeed
Frazier in the Senate, and so forth.
1t is not worth while for anybody to
run for any Office wanted by any OF
these, because the combine won't stand
for it. That settles it. of course.
There are more than two million peo-
pie In Tennessee, but If they think
they have anything to do with 1t they
are mistaken. The Big -Four are the
whole thing. And so old "vox POP"
