|if the party nominates him. He
must and will surrender his personal
considerations given voice under a
hasty impulse at time when he nor
any other man could tell of the future
demands. President Roosevelt was
sincere when he made his first declara-
tion which compelled him to make
the second in the face of pressure by
his enemies.
The nation demanded that Presi-
dent Lincoln finish the great rebellion
by re-electing him and he put the
army under Grant to do the work. 1t
was the demand of patriotism and the
demand Of patriotism will find Roose-
velt ready to finish his great work.
South Dakota might swing the con-
lvention to Roosevelt just as the lone
delegate from Wisconsin swung the
convention to Garfield, but the men
to do this must be true friends of the
President.

as long as the people want airships
or any other commodity he will not
cease manufacturing them, regardless
of elections or anything else. If air.
ships happen to be necessity, Dives
knows that If he should make good
his threat there are plenty Of other
men who will supply the demand.
What makes the prosperity of this
country is the richness of its natural
resources, the skill and ambition of
its people and the size Of It's popula-
tion, coupled with the tremendous
opportunities afforded that popula-
t1on.
Beef and oil and locomotives and
steel rails are not being used because
Of Mr.. Armour, Mr.. Rockefeller, or
the Steel Trust, but because the peo-
pie need themand they would need
them and buy them, no matter how
elections went.
The next time a man whose mouth
droops at the corners tells you the
country is going to the dogs. and that
the financial sky Is tremendously over
cast, and that there is no prospect of
the sun shining again, don't let the
goose-fesh rise all over you and pass
the scare on to the next man.
Just use your own common sense.
You are as able to think out the
probable effect of a political agitation
as the next man. You know two and
two make four, and that every stage
of the worlds progress is step ahead
of the stage that went before.
Don't be afraid of change If change
seems to you to be sensible.
And don't be croaker.

HOT SHOT FROM Rises.
State Superintendent Says b. 900
Iowa Teachers Are Not Fit
ted to Teach.

Des Moines, Jan. State Superia-
tendent Riggs, in an address before
the State Teachers association today,
created sensation by declaring that
5000 Iowa teachers are unfit, un-
trained and wholly lacking in expert
ence. He suggested as the only re-
lief the consolidation OF rural schools.
There are, said he, from 5000 to 5000
more rural school in Iowa than neces-
sary. Mr.. Riggs also pleaded for
state aid to make the high schools
final educators instead OF stepping
stones to colleges.

FAIR CATALOGUE
READI MONDAY
PROBABLY TIE MOST ATTRACT
WE EVER ISSUED BY THE
ASSOCIATION.

Probably the most attractive cata-
Iogue ever issued by the Maury coun-
Is Fair or any county fair in Tonnes
. see viii be sent out Monday by GEN
+ eral Manager John p McGaw. The
catalogue comes from the press OF
The Herald Company and is most ar
tistically and thoroughly done II
, abounds witt me half tone cuts of
+ scenes at the former fairs and other
Illustrations showing the greatness OF
the products OF Maury county. The
reading matter is well arranged and
it contains complete information con-
corning the premiums To be offered,
the rules that will govern the entries
and the awards and strong state
ments of the advantages of the local
exposition. General Manager McGaw
has given his undivided attention TO
the preparation of the catalogue and
from his unusually elaborate and COM
plete> announcement to the last page
it is a work that reflects credit upon
the compiler as one that Ms sure to
attract favorable attention wherever
it is shown.
The title page is especially attrac-
tive. 1t is printed in three colors
and represents a harvest shield and
is adorned by splendid half tone cut
of the head of Brown Hal, the great
est product of Maury county, and the
sire of more extreme speed and of
the fastest horse in the world. In
giving recognition to this wonderful
horse which died last year after a ca
reer that did more to advertise the
merits of the county's horse flesh
than any other animal that ever lived, /
General Manager McGaw hit upon a
most happy idea. After next Monday
these catalogues can be had upon ap-
plication to Mr. McGaw.

the setting of the sun and with the
heat and the mosquitoes the populace
was not altogether in that religious
frame of mind which is presumed to
exist in a quiet and religious com
munity like Columbia.
There were various degrees of heat
recorded during the day and none OF

RAISE POTATOES
ABOVE THE GROUND
EXPERIMENTS OF DEPARTMENT.
or AGRICULTURE TO REVDLU-
TlCNlZE THE INDUSTRY.

WATERBURY, Conn Aug. 16-Ex-
periments recently conducted success
fully by Samuel Wilson, of Wolcott
in which lie raised potatoes under anu
above ground on the same vine or
bush, are destined to reyolutionize tn 2
potato industry. New York City alon
consumes more than million bush
els years. Mr.. wilson is known as az
inventor of fertilizers and has won
name as farmer of wide influence
in vegetables and the work of the
state grange.
He has the new potatoes growing
above and below ground, the one not
in the least diminishing the others.
Next year he plans to go extensively
into the culture of the bush variety.
Mr.. Wilson says the new potatoes will
cut the cost of the tubers in half to
poor people.
In future the potato, he says, will
be grown in back yards or indoors
like roses, a room growing enough for
a small family. The new product may
be boiled in five minutes and baked in
eight minutes.
In order that this new hybrid may
be protected from the burning rays of
he sun, nature has given it an extra
.hick skin, declares Mr. Wilson. ut
S well known that such potato with
he ordinary thin skin would be prac.
ically useless because of the strong
aste, which the underground potato |
las after being burned by the sun. / |
AVE tried out my new product with |
he result that find that inside it is
weetly Favored and should give to |

Davis lives in Nashville and makes
a regular business of doing steeple

Gus. He arrived here Friday after
noon with his helper George Barr,
also Of Nashville, and soon after made
contract with Judge Gordon to paint
and repair the steeple of the court
mouse dome. The recent severe wind
storm had blown of some of the orna-
ments of the dome and caused leaks
that threatened to ruin the clock. But
none of the local contractors wanted
the job. They would have found it
necessary to erect scaffolds and this
would have made the expense con.
siderable for that item alone.
1t is 122 feet from the street level
to the top of the dome. 1t is seventy
feet from the roof of the court house

steeple. Climbing to the first landing

clock, Davis threw rope around the
steeple. This was attached and made
secure to the lower part of the struc-
ture. BY means of a sort of impro-
vised swing Davis stands around the
