November Farm Work.
SOW WHEAT EARLY.

In mos; parts Of the country wheat seeding has
been delayed by the drought But the farmer
who has been going over his land with harrow
and keeping a dust blanket on the surface can
seed and hnd plenty Of moisture TO terminate the
grain.
No time should now be lost In getting the wheat
sown. for the sooner the sowing IL done after the
FIRST white frosts the better Earlier than this there
is danger OF the Hesslan ay. and very late seed

cut and shocked at the proper time. and the har-
row kept going the aeid. the land will nov

Plant Corn Thicker.

am inclined TO think that Mr. wiiliamson's
idea OF siuntng corn, so az 10 grow more stalks

failing TO understand that by good breeding and
selection The corn could be brought into a better
stature without any stuntng. II corn planted six

the strongest soil in tho South could be planted
IN rows four feet apart and two and half feet
20 three feet In the row. One reason for Mr. VIII
liamson's success IL that he puts stalks
an acre than has been the practice there. he has
improved his soil with peas, and by means then of
heavy fertilization. he makes corn In spite of the
stunting and not by reason OF IL.

KEEP AN EYE ON THE CONVENTIONS.

Mark the candidate who endorsement for
office from either of the state conventions assembling in
this city 1t is not the intention of the direct primary
law that state conventions shall go further than naming
delegates to the national conventions and ransacng such
business is necessary to carrying these conventions
Any attempt on the part of convention to influence
the primary choice of candidate for state office is in
ngement the function given into the hands of the peo
pie by the direct primary law and that should be
sented and punished by making example of the cand
date endorsed
In accepting such endorsement he has gone above the
heads of the people and has forfeited further consera
ton at their hands
There is danger Of being sensitive in guarding
the letter and spirit of the direct primary law. County
conventions this year have shown that the old program
method and bargain counter makeshfts have by
been oberaed but they doomed to extinction if the
people keep true to their interests and preserve the
determination to make their selections hereafter in
the matter of candidates for public Office
There is no certainty that convention endorsements
will be offered but if they the only purpose should be
to place the April fool tag, kick Me- the candidate
that receives it. This does not apply to national candid
ates because unfortunately, the direct primary does not
yet govern the national elections.

PLEADS FOR
THE MINERS

WASHINGTON, D. c., May a.
A note for humanity was sounded
yesterday in the conference of gov
errors and the president on the
conservation of natural resources
of the United States. Mitchell
said:
at is sad commentary upon
our Wanted civilization that more
men are killed or crippled in
mining in the United States than
in any other nation on earth"
Mitchell declared further that
extravagant wastefulness In the
use of the fuel supply of the coun.
try was equalled only by criminal
disregard Of the personal safety of
the men working in the mines.
Andrew Carnegie declared that
at the present rate of consumption
the coal supply Of the country
would be exhausted in 200 years,
and the iron mines in 100 years.

In the meantime President
Roosevelt was appealed to- He
was asked to chop Holton's head
instanter. But the president
wouldn't chop.
Holton is a prosecutor of the
eHney type. He's small, nervy and
fighter, game to the core. Seeing
that practically every federal Or
ficer in the state was attempting
to make his probe fruitless, Hol-
ton induced the internal revenue
department to detail secret Service
Agents J. M. Wright and E. P.
Adams to North Carolina for an in
vestigation.
In the summer Of 1905 these of
flcers developed 70 cases in which
revenue agents had reported the
destruction of illicit stills when In
reality they had cooperated with
the "blockaders," allowing the
stills to remain in the business.
Twenty-eight revenue officers were
indicted at one time and nearly so
distillers. Thousands of dollars of
fines were imposed.

a case Of wheels within wheels. All

The striking thing is how such
