Some OF the Candidates.

Ra eigh Tires.
We might begin this article
with a few "meaningless plati-
tudes," but if We should some
body would feel hurt. This is
an attempt to give the public a
list of the announced candi
dates and probable candidates
for the various State Offices,
and is nothing more.
1t might be remarked, how
ever. that some of the men will
lose in the contest. For three
of the offices there are at least
four candidates and it neces-
sarily follows that all but one
man will be in the class of the
"also ram"
The convention will be held
about June. 20. Between now
and then lots might be done.
Nobody can tell who will be
who after the convention, but

Senator Overman a Power fn the

Greensboro Rec ord.
Some of the newspapers in
the State are waking up to the
fact that Senator Overman is a
power in the United States SEN
ate. He seems to be able to
do more work with less noise
than any other man who has
ever been from this State. The
Wilmington Dispatch says of
him that he is worker-and
this means that he is a valua-
bic man for North Carolina to
retain IN the Senate. We be-
-lieve that North Carolina recog-
nizes this and that Senator Over
man will be again reelected to
the Senate next January.
Wouldn't it be a great thing to
make it unanimous on the part
of the General Assembly? Let
us make it so. Senator Over
man is all able man, is a zeal
Gus and faithful advocate and,
above all, possesses common
sense. This, with the good he
is doing his State, should be
sufficient to assure a unani-
nous vote in returning him to
the Senate -

WHY THIS FURORE?


While the people of Tennessee
want ms low rate for passenger ser
vices rs her sister States enjoy, they
were content 10 wait the result Of
the pending lawsuit in Alabama,
knowing full well that if these suits
are decided against the railroads,
that they will make the same rates
in Tennessee without any inter-
ference from the politicians, with
out any legislation, and without
any fuss or feathers on the part OF
the Governor or the Railroad Com
mission.
The politicians seemed satisfied
to let the matter Jog along until
the courts decided the question
until few days ago, when Com
missioner Hannah in an interview
in one of tile Nashville papers pre-
cIpltated the political row thatns
now in the State.
The Governor, who had previ-
ously seemed satisfied to await the
result of the litigation in Alabama,
desired to anticipate the action Of
the Railroad Commission, or its
members, the next day after the
Hannah interview issued his call
for the meeting Of the railroads 10
meet him mot the Railroad Com
mission the 2Sth to confer,on
a 2l cent rate for Tennessee.
The Commission, not to be out
doneby the Governor, met and Or
dered reduction Of the rates in
the Statet to take effect April l.
1t is said that the railroads viii
resistthe order, and the result will
be a war in the tennessee courtao
and all for no other purpose thar
to further ambitious projects Of
candidates for Office.

RURAL DELIVERY.

Editor THE CHRONICLE;
We desire to call attention TO
the practice of some patrons of ru-
raj delivery of placing loose coins
in their boxes each time they de-
sire to dispatch letters, instead of
supplying themselves with post
age in advance of their needs.
This practice imposes unneces-
sary hardship on rural carriers in
removing loose coins from boxes,
and delays them in the service of
their routes.
The postmaster, therefore, ur-
gently requests that patrons of ru-
raj delivery provide themselves
and keep on hand a supply of
stamps consistent with and in adj
vance of their needs.
1t is also very desirable that ru-
raj patrons place in their boxes
small detachable cups of wood or
tin in which to place coins when
necessary in purchasing supplies
of stamps.
Respectfully.

FARM LEAKS.

tions, and good ones, resolu-
tions that will be benefit to your
selves aud to your country.
Resolve that you pat into action
and cause them to bring forth fruit
to the JOY, happiness and. benefit of
yourselves and your country.
These leaks to the farmers are
old resolutions which seem to have
been pigeon-holed, as it were, for
10! these many years. When we
take a retrospective view of the
farms of our county, and note the
vast number of leaks, both large
and small, we can not help being
deeply impressed with the uegli-
gence of the owners.
Today we find hundreds of acres
of land grown over with 'briars and
broom sage, intercepted here and
there by gullies, wien i'll the years
gone by the owners could have
saved the fields from being quilted
and washed away during heavy
rains at the cost Of only few hours
labor, aud with proper care the
vast fields which have been thrown
out to public pasture and going to
waste would today be paying u div
idend to the owner on the money
he had invested.
The neglect of the farmer is in
not taking care of aud improving
the farm and protecting it from
being washed aud quilted by heavy
rains. Another leak is in allowing
plows, harrows and other farm i'm
plements and machinery to remain
in the folds where last used to rot
and rust away Likewise stock is
exposed to the cold rains and bad
weather Of winter, and not enough
attention is given to making and
saving manure; the droppings Of
the lots aud cow pens should be
daily piled under shelter.
There is not sufficient attention
given to rotation of crops, thereby
unnecessarily impoverishing the
land. There is too great tend
ency to go in debt, and these debts
too often exceed the amount of in
come, and hardships aud too often
sacrifices are enforced.
Public roads are neglected. 1t
is fact that instead of keeping up
til Groads as they should be, there
has been disposition to shirk the
work. The roads laws are suffi-
cient if we would do our duty when
called upon, but on woodworking
days more effort is wasted in trying
to kill time than in putting the
roads in good condition. Our
public highways are to the farmer
what the railroads are to the mer-
chant-the veins and arteries of
common use. Good roads are es-
sential to the welfare of the farm
er and should not be neglected.
Again, there is not sufficient at
tention paid to the reading of good
agricultural literature, and there
is too much time and money spent
on reading cheap, worthless maga-
zines and trashy novels-because
they are cheapl They are dear at
any price. But there are few farm
papers that are not worth more
than the subscription price, and
very often one single copy is worth
more and will save the reader more
in cash than the subscription price
of the paper one year.
A great many other leaks could
be mentioned, but we will stop for
this time, hoping this letter may
be the humble instrument Of bring
ing about stoppage of a few OF
those leaks which are annually
draining the farmers more than
the speculations of Wall Street.

HE IS PLEASED
WITH THE CITY

This morning on Rio Grande train
No. Congressman Richmond Pear
son Hobson arrived in Grand juno
ton. He was met at the station by
General Secretary Will A. House OF
the local Y. NJ. c. A, and accompanied
to the LaCourt hotel. where rooms
had been reserved for him
The distinguished visitor seemed to
be in the best of health and is en-
ioying his trip through the west inn
mensely. He is looking fine and is an
exceedingly pleasant gentleman to
meet.
During the greater part of the fore
noon Mr.. Hobson was asleep as he
was on the train all night
This afternoon, prior to the corner
stone laying exercises. the city's hon
ored guest was driven about the city
and some of the orchard districts. 1t
is his first visit to Grand Junction.
and he seems perfectly delighted with
the city and the surrounding country.
Congressman Hobson in every way
appears to be the ideal young Amer
ican. physically, mentally and in ev-
cry other way.
Tonight at the Congregational
church an audience that will crowd
the building to overlooking will hear
Congressman Hobson in one of his
great lectures. His theme tonight
will probably be America the Mis-
tress of the Seas 1t will be a most
instructive, thoughtful and very en-
tertaining address.
There has been a large demand for
extra seats for the lecture tonight.
Congressm IN Hobson met many cit
liens today, especially at the corner
stone laying. For all he had a most
cordial greeting.
At midnight Congressman Hobson
viii leave for Denver where he will
lecture on Thursday evening at the
Central PRESBYTERIAN church.
