PAEselanY TRIUMPH.
Held Their Tobacco Until They Got
Their Price.

BY a deal consumated at Hender-
son. KY. on last Thursday the I'm
perial Tobacco Company purchased
the entire 1907 tobacco crop pledged
to the, American Society Of Equity in
Henderson, Union, Webster, Hopkins
and Crittenden counties.
The deal involves sixteen million
pounds of tobacco and VIII bring one
and a half million dollars of English
money to the farmers of that section.
The. price paid was that demanded by
the farmers, and is the highest ever
paid there, with the exception of the
war price.
The deal was consumated by
Stokes Taylor, chairman Of the board
of directors OF the Stemming District
Tobacco Association and Edward
Hodge, manager of the Imperial COM
pany. Negotiations have been on for
more than a week.
Equity employees are taken over by
the Imperial company and will be
continued in service. Deliveries will
begin as ,soon as the tobacco is in
order. The gold will be shipped from
England at once,

Cant Hurt Bryan.

The Washington Herald says "Mr.
Bryan's quarrel is with that section
of the press which labels itself
Democratic" yet disagrees with
Mr.. Bryan's definition Of democracy.
We shall not attempt to compose
his quarrel. 1t has been going on
since 1896, but if it has seriously
damaged Mr.. organs reputation, the
injury is not apparent~on the sur
face. i.
''Mr. Bryan, in fact, is, and has
been one of the most bountifully
misrepresented men I'M public life
The conception of him continually
presented by a certain section of the
press to it's confiding readers is dis.
torted and malicious. No attempt
is made to appraise the man at his
real value. No effort is made to &C.
count for his popularity, or to ana:
I'VE the source of his political
strength.
."The result is that to many con.
slant readers the name of Bryan
evokes images of an oratorical wind;
bag, a political juggler, or a mental
freak. Mr.. Bryan does not COM
plain of this. but newspaper readers
have every right to complain. They
are entitled to something better than
distortion and Misrepresentation as
Ia regular diet"

Change of Heart.

In a recent issue of his excellent
paper, the Gaffney Ledger, Editor
DeCamp makes this honest confes-
sion:
Ever since Mr.. Bryan enunciated
his famous free silver doctrine we
have looked upon him as an extrem.
list, and we have never felt like sup
porting him for the presidency, al
though he was twice nominated by
the Democratic party. His recent
advocacy of government ownership
of railroads has strengthened our
opinion that he was a crank; but since
we have met him personally, and dis
cussed these vital issues in person,
and hearing his speech in our city
last Friday, our opinion of the man
has changed. There is no foolishness
about him. He is a plain American
citizen and withall a big man, q very
big man, in fact we believe he is the
biggest man in America.

Narrow Minded Bigots.

Burnside Post of the Grand Army
Of the Republic has taken to task a
Washington preacher for preaching
in q truthful and somewhat eulogls-
tic manner Of Gen. Robt. E. Lee, in
a school address. The preacher said
great as were his ACHIEVEMENTS as a
general, splendid his victories on the
field of battle, the greatest thing
about Lee was his spirit. When de-
feat came upon him he was a man.
He refused to expatriate himself; he
took up life among his people and Ia
bored to make the Union real. strong
and permanent"
In the preamble to the resolutions
adopted by the post it is declared
the reverend gentleman, though
expostulated with, had before this
declared his intention to eulogize
General Lee in public, and has since
asserted that the majority Of the
comrades of the G. A. R., are in sym
patty with his sentiments, and he has
since written, T have no fears that
time will not set me right
In order to prevent time from set
ting him right, the Burnside post of
the G.. A. R., proceeded to make re-
marks and pass resolutions denounc-
ing the preachers allusion to Gen.
Lee as unpatriotic and calculated to
cad astray the youth Of the land.
The men who made fools Of them
selves by abusing the preacher are
to be pitied rather than condemned.
It must be remembered that the man
for whom this post is named was
thrashed and run off the field" OF
Fredericksburg by Gen. Lee. POSI-
bly, the men who passed the resolu-
ton were with Burnside on that &C.

Nitrogen as q Fertilizer.

Nitrogen is, one of the most inert
of all elements apparently Indifferent
10 whether t combines with Other
elements or not. It Is one of the
most important of all elements. AL
though 1t exists in the atmosphere
all around us and really constitutes
As of the whole volume Of the at
mosphere, yet 1t is the most expensive
part. of all feed stuffs and fertilizers
and at the same time the most essen.
tial.
No plant could grow without a
supply of nitrogen in the soil and
no animal could f1urish without nj
trogen in the feed. 1t would seem
that any article so perfectly album
|dant as nitrogen and. as free as it
would seem to be in the surrounding
air ought not to be expensive. 1t has
been the dream Of scientists for 100
years to cover this nitrogen from
the air and thus make it available
for plant and animal food but the
manner of doing this has eluded
them all until within the past year or
two. . 1t now seems that some parties
at Niagara Falls are undertaking the
production of nitrogen from the at
mosphere. This has not yet come to
be a commercial success, but prob
ably will be at some future time.
In the meantime, all the quarters
of the earth have been r~ansacked for
source of available nitrogen for fer
tilizers and feed stuffs. Among the
first efforts to find large quantities OF
fertilizer containing nitrogen and
other necessary elements was work
ing the Peruvian Guano deposits,
These have long since been exhausted
and this has lead to the manufacture
of what be called artificial fertilizer
The principal source of nitrogen
flor these fertilizers was at first the
Chill S~alt-petre beds. These still
supply large quantities of nitrate Of
soda, which is used in some forms
of fertilizer, but by far the most I'M
portant source of all nitrogen in al
fertilizers and feed stuffs at the pre-
sent time, is cotton seed meal. The
gradually increasing cotton crops AM
the rapidly increasing number of OF
mills makes cotton seed abundan
and cheap. 1t Is the most easily han
died of all heterogeneous materials. A
the same time it is n of the mos
easily assimilated. This is true o
both plants and animals. All farmers
in the cotton region are especial!
blessed on account of this proximit.
to oil mills and their consequent cas-!
ability to purchase this most valua
Bile feed stuff and fertilizer at prices
which are really much below the &C
tual value as compared with othel
sources of nitrogen.

A northwest storm Of short dura-
ton with heavy rain, passed over
Galveston. Texas early Thursday.
The wind attained a velocity Of ~
miles an hour for tyo minutes.
About twenty frame houses were
blown down, one woman being killed
in a falling structure. Ii is esttmat-
ed that twenty persons were injured
in the western part of the city, where
the wind was severe.
Sveral business houses were IN
rooted and the stocks Of goods were
slightly damaged by water. The NAL
lory Line wharf shed was damaged
to the extent Of several thousand dol
lars. A few cars in the railroad yards
were blown from the track. The gulf
remained normal. There was no in

The New State.

The f~orty-sixth state of the Union
is Oklahoma. It is interesting to
know just what its admittance into
the Union may do politically.
Oklahoma has elected four Demo,
cratic congressman and one Republi,
can. 1t. may, therefore, make 9
difference Of votes in the House OF
Representatives. Its legislature vii!
elect two Democratic senator's and
these will give the Democrats OF the
Senate 81 votes, sufficient to pre-
vent the ratification of a treaty, even
if supported by a solid Republican
majority.
It will have seven electors in the
next electoral college, a number
large enough, should the vote be
close, to determine the next presi.
dent of the United States. 1t will
be represented in the national con-
ventions by delegations Of very re-
spectable size which will have to be
reckoned with in more ways than
one.l Consequently Oklahoma from
the very beginning of its statehood
is in position to WELD a consider
able influence on, national affairs.
Yet partisan politics are, after all,
not of much Importance as loyalty
to American principles. In its con-
stitution which represents the sen
timents of it's people, Oklahoma is
loyal to American principles. There
fore, its advent to participation
more largely in governmental at.
fairs should be regarded with graf.
ifcatlon.

Causb OF the n

The Wall Street gamblers had q
genuine scare during the past two
weeks, and they are just now recov'
ering from the miscarriage Of the
plans of q few men who tried to cor
ner the copper market. AS a result
of this wild speculation great bank
ing institutions have been badly shak-
en-. q number of banks5And gamblers
have been put out Of business, and
large fortunes have changed hands.
The losers are now hunting up more
lambs from whom to'recoup their
vanished fortunes.
All this gambling was carried on
with the money of the people. The
gamblers go to the banks and borrow
money with which to make their
bets, giving as security stocks and
bonds, the value of which is based
upon their condition Of the money
marketfrom day to day. The money
these gamblers borrow from the
bank represent the deposits of the
people, not only Of New York. but
from all parts of the country. as To-
cal banks all over the country carry
balances in these New York banks.
It will thus be seen that the whole
country is interested in this matter.
The failure of q New York bank

may mean the embarrassment OF any

ries. So that 8 panic in New York, If
extensive enough, may carry disaster
to the whole country. These huries
also depress.the price of all commo-
dities, and we would therefore ad-
wise our farmers not to sell their cot
ton until confidence is entirely re-
stored. .
Fortunately the trouble is about
over for this time and no Southern
interests was hurt, but we think it
would be wise on the part f local
banks over the country to keep as
small balances in New York banks as
they possibly can. If someone is not
trying. to corner copper, someone
else is endeavoring to corner some
thing else, and will 8 ilong as New
York banks supply available funds.
If this gambling in stocks must go
on, let the gamblers furnish their own
money!. 81.

Why Bryan Is Strong.

In pointing out the reason why Mr.
Bryan is strong. with the masses
the people the New Orleans Of
Daily States says ut is well to
remark that it was William j. Bry.
an who in 1896 seeing the magnif:
cent system of thievery which had
been established in the garden Of
Americas richest prosperity de.
nounced it and afrayed himself
against it. For doing this that ele:
ment of the Democracy which shared
in the spoils of the system deserted
to the Republican camp, and he was
denounced far and wide as an anar-
chist, a socialist and even as an en-
envy of the republic
To-day the men who have been
his foremost opponents and who
posed in two campaigns as cham:
pions of the national honor stand
before the country as unmasked
thieves, whose morals and methods
are on a par with those Of q sneak
thief or a footpad. Yet there are
people foolish enough to wonder
why Bryan is strong, and who are
apparently unable to understand
that his strength with the masses Of
the people il vastly increased with
every disclosure of the thievery of
high finance of which there have
been many, and more are yet to
come. y =.
: ''The absolute justice of the chal-
lenge which he flung to corporate
wealth in 1896 and 1900. is today
receiving a bountiful measure OF
vindication. Bryan, the chosen of the
people, stands at this moment un-
scathed in spite of intrigue, abuse
and misrepresentation, while a score
or more Of men who have fought
him savagely under the banner Of
the so-called safe and sane, Demo.
cracy are struggling to keep out OF

ROOSEVELT HEDGING.
He Hopes Case May Bsdim the
Brownsville Affair.
Fedrai Department OF, Justice, About
to Open Fight for Southern Ne
groes Before Supreme Court.

A dispatch from washington says
Roosevelt's Department Of Justice is
about to fight a battle for the ne
groes of the South before the Su-
preme court Of the United States
that the administration hopes will
bedim the recollection of the
Brownsville affair. Attorney Gener-
al Bonaparte has buckled on his
sword. and the skirmish is now on.
The case arises out Of an alleged
attempt of white men Of Arkansas to
brighten negroes who were working
for the Arkansas Lumber Company,
away from their jobs. Notices were
posted warning the negroes from
continuing at work. In this connec-
tion,;a half dozen white men were
convicted of violating the federal
statute, enacted just after the adop-
ton of the thirteenth amendment to
the constitution, which makes it an
ofPense to conspire, to threaten or in
timidate any citizen in the free exer-
else of his rights.
A little. moro than 8 year ago, the
Supreme court liberated, in another
ease, certain men who had been con-
victed of q similar offense. With this
situation, and, it is understood, upon
orders from the president, the at
'torney general, unwilling to entrust
the task t. q subordinate, himself
has prepared to plead the cause OF
the colored men. In addition to his
brief, already filed with the Supreme
court, Bonaparte is expected to ar
que the case orally before the court
when it comes up in about ten days
for hearing. ..@"
ITO be free isIto be wholly free"
says Bonaparte in his brief. 1T does
not mean that q man may merely
have his personal liberties and at the
same time be hedged about by pro
hibitions and restrictions and denied
first one right and then another that
belongs to free men. ~+E
He can not have his full constitu-
tional right unless he is in no sense
whatever in involuntary servitude,
and he may claim the protection Of
Federal law, if enacted by Congress,
against the first infringement of his
freedom, without waiting until he is
striped Of all his rights and forced
into a condition of absolute and alb
ject slavery, 49,.
1.-THE government contends that
the right of q colored man to dispose
of his own service, to pursue any
legitimate occupation or employment
is q right secured to him by the thir-
teenth amendment to the constitu-
ton. and that to deprive him of the
enjoyment Of that right is to enforce
upon him one Of the ~inseparable and
necessary invdents or badges Of sla-
very a.. -.
IF individuals can combine to him
der the negro, because Of his race,
in. the pursuit Of employment, they
can, by persistent; progressive acts,
at last deprive him of every right,
the free enjoyment Of which is nee
essary to keep him from returning
into practical bondage"
