At UNIVERSITY PLACE
Grounds Are Being Improved and
New Houses Erected.

A great work of improvement and
identifying is in progress at the Holi'
ness University grounds east of the
city and within a few weeks the place
will bear little resemblance to the
grounds as they were left at the close
of last season. The campus is being
graded and completed, driveways and
roads are being laid out, and walks
built about the college campus. The
grounds are being thoroughly cleaned
up and nicely dressed and the inn
provement in appearance can not be
appreciated until witnessed.
Graders and men nave been al
work on the grounds during the past
two weeks and have made remark
able showing in the amount of dirt
that has been moved. The compile
ton of the work will require severa
weeks longer but when the work is
done the grounds will be as hand
some a piece of landscape gardening
as can be found in this part of Tho

Trees Planted.


The work of identifying the
grounds was commenced with the
planting of a large number of trees
about the campus. No less than
three hundred elms, Jungle" catal-
pas and Carolina poplars have been
set out and will make splendid
showing within a few years. Shrub
berry and other lawn decorations will
be added as possible. The compile
ton of the plan of the campus will
require a number of years and can
not be fully worked out until the
erection of the additional buildings
as originally considered.
An Expert Secured. -.
The work of identifying the
grounds has been placed in the
hands of A. Swartwood of MARSHALL
town, an expert landscape gardener
who has mad a wide experience in
such work. He states that the
grounds of the NOskaloosa Holiness
university have all of the natural
beauty, possible to be given and only
small amount of work remains tc

HEARST AND
THE FARMERS
Hearst's Hand in Two Big
Farmers Organizations
in Middle West.

FARMERS UNION, CHIEFLY RUN
BY SOUTHERN FARMERS, AND
GROWING IN THE WEST, NOT
FRIENDLY TO HEARST, WHOSE
AGENTS IN RIVAL CONCERNS
ARE STRONG.
The Pensacola journal., 1907-06-05
BY Associated Press

Topeka, Kan, June 4-William
Randolph Hearst's American Society
of Equity, which, in the guise of d
farmers and laborers' organization. is
in reality a part of Hearst's political
machine, is fighting the Farmers Co
operative Union, which is in reality
a union of farmers, pure and simple,
with tremendous pOkafcaI possibili-
ties. Unable to dominate, this vast
and growing body, Hearst, through
agents, has organized his own Farm
ers' Society.
The American Society of Equity,
the Hearst concern, takes in all class
eS having vote or expecting TO have
one. The Cooperate Farmers Union
takes in none but farmers. At EN-
poria the organizers recently came
into head-on collision. Judge Theron
Fisk, representing the Farmers
Union, and former State SupeTintend-
ent of Instruction Gaines stood up be-
fore a great gathering of farmers and
called each other liars and other
choice names. Rivalry between the
two organizations is most bitter and
intense, and between them they are
gathering in every vote in the state
The Hearst plan is systematic, and
his agents are building up a powerful
machine. Every evening a string OF
school house meetings are held, at
which orators and monographs drone
out speeches to the effect that the
money power Is holding in abject serf-
dom the men of Kansas, also their
women and children. Fiery literature
of the Hearst brand is widely Circu-
lated
In order to check the Hearst move
ment the Farmers Union has been
holding its meetings one night in ad-
vance of the advertised Hearst gath
erings. This mas proven very success
full in Lyon county until Saturday,
when the rival factions met at the
court house and the clash came. C.
A. Walsh, leading Hearst boomer of
Iowa, has been appealed to to lead the
fight in Kansas for the Society OF
Equity and will probably respond.
The Farmers Union is chiefly a
Southern movement, very strong in
the South, and spreading in the west,
but Hearst, who is not popular in the
South, cannot control it, hence his
rival organization and the terribly up
set condition in Kansas.

as can not be sent over Independent

agreement by a proposition to Ohio

they used to scrape up the earth with
their fore feet and thus leave a hole
sometimes a foot or two deep When
wayfarers passed through the woods
they were in danger of falling into
these hOllows and wrenching an ankle
or twisting q thigh, and thus they were
said to have got into a scrape. The

scope of its powers has been extern
ded and enlarged from time to
time Hon. JudSon c. Clements.
Of Georgia, has been member of
the commission since March. 1892,
having beeu appointed by Presi-
dent Cleveland, and reappointed
hy President Mckinley, and but
recently reappointed by Pre- 1dent
Roosevelt. The commission is
composed of Democrats and Repub
leans. ] he only one of the seven
members OF the commission who
has had longer term of service on
the commission than Mr.. Clements
is the chairman, Hon. Martin A.
Knapp, of New York: he was
appointed by President Harrison,
FEBRUARY, 1891, a year prior to the
appointment of Mr.. Clements.
Commissioner Knapp was elected
chairman of the commission Jan
uary, 1899. Mr.. Clements went
direct from Congress to the COM
mission. He was Congressman
from the Seventh district of Geor-
gia for ten years. Before going to
Congress he had been a member of
both braLc heS of the Georgia
Legislature, and school cUmmiss-

commissioner present at the Macon
session is Hon. J. 5. Harlan an
eminent lawyer of Illinois. He
holds the latest appointment on
the commission. The salary of a
commissioner is $4,000 per an
