Poultry raising.

Among the many profitable
industries neglected by Southern
people there is none greater than
that Of poultry raising, both for
home use and commercial pur-
poses. The State of Illinois pro-
duces as much poultry and eggs
as four Southern states, namely
Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas and
Oklahoma, and yet in area Illi-
nois is only about one fifth as
large as the Southern states
above mentioned. Or, in other
words, the Nothern states place
five times as much poultry on the
market as the Southern states
do, Notwithstanding the undis-
puted fact that our climatic con-
ditions are far superior to those
of the Northern neighbors, and
the cost of producing is much
less in the Southern states. The
state of Illinois places on the
market each ~yearover 5000, 600, 0(
worth of poultry and eggs, while
our own state, which is practically
the same area, places only
81, 500, 900 worth on the market
The little state of Rhode Island,
which is only a little more thar
two thirds the size of the indie
pendence county, sells one fourth
as much poultry as the entir,
state of Arkansas. Exchange.

Governor Noel sent a message
to the legislature urging the
passage of a law against lobby
ing. The Governors plan for
the suppression of lobbying is
similar to that proposed by Hon.
w. j. Bryan in an interview Sat-
urday. He would have a statute
permitting representatives of
corporations to appear before
committees and discuss meas
ures in which they are interest
ed, but would provide radical
punishment for efforts to infu-

BRYAN FOES
PLAN FIGHT
Minnesota Indorsemen. of
johnson gives them hope.


Washington, March II.
the friends of William ]. Bryan
ridicule all idea that the action
of the Democrats in Minnesota
in indorsing Gov Johnsonfo the
nomination for president at the
national Democratic convention
in Denver will have any material
effect upon Bryan's canvass,
there is no denying the fact that
the enimies Of Mr.. Bryan are
encouraged greatly by Johnson's
Endorsement and intend to make
the most of it. There are many
of the Democratic leaders here
who are as bitterly opposed to
Bryan's nomination at Denver IS
there are Republicans who are
fighting to prevent the nomina-
ton of President Roosevelt, or
his personal choice, Secretary
Taft, at Chicago. Up to this
time Mr.. Bryan's enemies have
been divided and have made lit
tie or no progress, as no candl-
date was forthcoming on which
to concentrate against the Bry-
an movement.
Today~thesa ncl got out their
lists of delegates and began to
figure upon the possibility of
deadlocking the convention SO
far as Mr.. Bryan was concerned
and finally throwing him oyer
for a conservative Of their own
choice. They believe that if
Gov. Johnson should be able to
capture the delegates from the
two Dakotas and Wisconsin,
where he is known and is under
stood to be popular. the chances
of defeating Mr.. Bryan would
be very good.
The procedure in Democratic
convention differs from the Re-
publican national convention to
the extent that tWo-thirds of the
delegates are nece ssary to nom
mate the Democratic candidate.
whilessa majority of the delegates
is all that is required in the Re-
publican convention. Under this
rule, senators and representa-
tives, representing states in
which Mr.. Bryan's nomination
is not favored, believe that the in
dorsement of Gov. Johnson may
prove to be the entering wedge
which may gain enough recruits
from the Bryan ranks to prevent
MS nomination on n nrSC pal
lot.
If, by throwing favorite sons
in the field, aud eliminating
enough votes to cause Bryan to
fall short of>the two-thirds vote
on the first ballot, his enimies
believe he can be beaten and an
other candidate agreed upon.
There is little doubt that t he
Bryan camp will get into full
action at once to prevent the
movement against him from gain
ing strength.

THE THREATENED AID
VANCE IN RATES.
Texas Farm aud Ranch)


The railroads are threatening, III
fact appear to have determined, to
make an advance on the present
interstate freight rates. In the
end, the man who buys buggy or
wagon, or any other commodity,
must pay this advance. There has
been much said recently by the
railroad managements about want
ing a better understanding with
the people. 1t is rather unfortu-
nate, if by better understanding
is meant a better feeling. that this
advance should be made at a time
when the railroads are wondering
where they are going to got the
engines and cars to move the crops
this year.
No doubt that the railroad earn
ings have fallen of some. Some
of them may have lost money.
Most of US ordinary people, and
many ordinary business men have
lost money this year, but we have
to pocket our losses and rustic
harder for business. When bust
ness is slack with the ordinary
business man, he redoubles his
energies aud possibly reduces his
prices. The manufacturers, mer-
chants, farmers and everybody
else seem disposed to renew their
efforts and by a united action re-
store the whole country to the
condition Of prosperity existing
before the panic. Like q wet
blanket thrown over a fire just be-
ginning to burn, comes this an.
nouncement on the part of the
railroads. Many of these roads
are affected with dropsy and need
a good legislature surgeon to lei
the water out.
We hope that the people in
every vocation will protest against
this proposed action. for the plain
people must bear the burden Of
the advance.
