Successful Beet Topper and Fuller.

SoeACo0s0s UCCs AOpPCt ou& uAChs
The chief trouble of the beet
farmer has been in getting labor
just as he wants it and when he
wants it and of the qaulity he de-
sires. This has partly been over
come by the invention of the Amer
ican Beet Harvester company,
which has been tried out here in
the fields of the Amitv Land COM
,pany on its beet ranch this week
and the work of this little machine
is go much ahead of the hand labor
notwithstanding it's imperfections,
that we understand the Holly -u-
gar company has taken the matter
up with the inventors with the end
in view of securing state right
for it's use.
The work of plowing out the
beets requires a four-horse team
and digs a foot or more into the
ground in order to losen the lower
part of the beets, then the topping
has to be done by hand and is
more or less unsatisfactory in it.
self because of the carelessness of
the hand labor. This machine
operates with one man and, in
most cases, with one extra heavy
team of horses, piling the beets in
windrows and the leaves immeiate-
lly behind the beets, doing both the
topping and plowing, only enter
ing the soil from 2 to 3 inches, at
not more expense than that of plow-
ing them out the old way figur-
ing saving over hand labor in
this section of about $3.50 per acre
or more. This would mean an
aggregate of about $4,000 for the
Holly district.
The local experiments have been
under the supervision of b. W.
tGubtil, one of the patentees, and
j. W. Steenson. The machine in
its present form is quite crude, but
after this seasons experiment,
which is the seventh one for the
patentees, practically a perfect one
will evolve.
The machine is fully covered
with patents, one hundred and
twenty-eight having been taken
out on the machine and its differ
ent parts. The company is not
manufacturing the machine itself
but sells the right to manufacture
them in the various beet sections.
The following is a description of
its operation:
The first operation of the ma
chine is the topping process which
is done by sharp horisontal blade,
placed near the front of the ma
chine and just back of large
wheel which governs the depth at
which the knife cuts, and the
amount of top taken off may be
regulated eighth-inches by the
movement of lever. Over the
wheel runs chain belt to which
are attached a number of short
steel teeth. The wheel runs
over the beet row, the teeth fasten
in the topof- the beet, and hold it
in position while the knife cuts it
off. When the top is removed it
remains fastened to the teeth on
the chain and is elevated to the
back of the machine, where it is
dumped into top receiver. The
topped beet remaining in the

~ Reducing the Balance in
The Treasury.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 1.-the
American, the Official organ Of the adj
ministration. today says:
The probable payment Of the $780,
600 to the Peabody fund as provided
by the last Legislature has caused
some concern among the State on
cisls on account OF the existing condi-
ton OF the Tennessee Treasury. Un-
der the act of the Legislature IT is
provided that this amount shall be
paid when the grant Of 100000 is
made, and Comptroller Dibrell states
that he is ready to pay this amount,
in view Of the probable action Of the
Trustees next month. At the present
time there is only about 100000 in the
Treasury, which is almost half mil
lion less than at the same time last
year. The increase of the appropria-
tons this year. the retirement OF
bonds, and the meeting OF large cur
rent expenses have drained the Treas
ury to a considerable extent. To aug.
ment this embarrassment, it will be
necessary to pay the interest on the
State debt the first of January, 1908,
also the interest for the school fund,
and about $375,0OO under the provis-
ions of the Chestnut bill. AT the
same time current expenses must be
met, few taxes will have been col
lected. and the additional disburse-
ment Of $25O,0O0 to the Peabody viii
leave the Treasury in somewhat
crippled condition. 1t is very likely
that the payment of the amount to
the Peabody fund will be deferred un-
til about March, it having been pre-
viously understood that the agreement
was entirely satisfactory with Chan
cellor Porter and the State oficials.

The labor troubles on the Mt. Pleas
ant and Swan Creek Railway, now in
course of construction, broke out
afresh and in wholesale quantities
Thursday when forty italian laborers
were arrested and lodged in jail at
this place, charged with attempting
to beat their board bills.
This is not the first trouble of this
character on this new road with Itai-
ian labor. There have been a num-
Der of instances in the past few
months where these foreign laborers
would become dissatisfied with the
pay or work, or claim they had been
deceived and attempt to leave, only
to be arrested and arraigned before
magistrate. Some of the magis-
trates have assessed fine and the
men have been compelled TO either
secure money from friends and pay the
amount or work 1t out Several OF
the laborers with charges Of this
character against them have been ar
raigned before Esqs. Guest and Fariss
of Columbia, but these oficials have
held that the violation was only tech
nical and have turned the men loose
in nearly every instance
These arrests and fines OF railroad
laborers have caused considerable un-
favorable comment, particularly on
the part of the large phosphate min
ers. They say the men are in many
instances deceived as to the amount
of pay they are to receive and when
they find out the deception they want
to leave. That when they are ar
rested they feel that they have been
unfairly treated and the tales they tell
of their treatment tend to drive for
eign labor from the Mt. Pleasant field.
The recent trouble is on larger
scale than any heretofore presented

okLAHoMA's LEGISLATORS WILL
CONVENE ON DEC 2, FOR

GUTHRIE, Okla, Nov. 17.-Gov.
Charles N. Haskell late last night is
sued a call for the Legislature OF the
new State to meet on Dec. 2. The
place where the session will be called
Is left open. This gives reasons tor
fear here that the Legislature might
be called to meet at some other place
than Guthrie If the city does not offer a

Shawnee has offered quarters for the
state officers and place for the Leg

The Republicans have only seven,
teen members of the House and hve
members of the Senate.
Gov. Haskell does not outline any
proposed legislation in the call.
